I haven't posted about the garden because my mind has been elsewhere.  I found a psychologist to evaluate Sam for ADD.  He did 2 different tests.  The first was a computer test that tracked his ability to keep focused.  He watched a large square appear on the screen.  There would be a smaller square inside either at the top or the bottom of the ( Read more... )

My feet hurt so much!  I was an unloading assistant for the North Dallas Mother of Twins club sale today.  For 4 hours, I brought tons of clothes and stuff into the Richardson civic center.  Then I went to get the kids at school.  Then we went to Costco and Target.  I didn't sit down until 5:15.  My in-laws are coming over at 6:30 to watch the ( Read more... )

This will be a large post.  October was a busy, stressful month and this could get long.  With pictures.  :)

Chris is on his way home for Virginia's birthday.  We had a storm blast over us briefly (we actually got a bit of rain and a lot of lightening), the girls are back in bed (see lightening), and I am killing time until Chris gets home.  And we hit 100 F today, marking 71 days of 100 F+ weather.  Other parts of the state are in much worse shape ( Read more... )

I haven't done a full post in a while.  It's not like I haven't had the time.  The short ones are all in school now so I have oodles of it.  I just, well, haven't.  Well, today is laundry day and I am avoiding the sheet changing part of it so now is a good time.  This is going to be long.

I confess that I am a procrastinator.  I seem to get some bizarre thrill out of the panic of doing things at the last minute.  So to give myself some kind of subconscious jollies, I didn't get ready for the semi-annual Twin's club garage sale until this week.  The sale starts tomorrow.  I started (for real) on Sunday.  I am an idiot ( Read more... )

I think Natalie has made me sick.  She has been complaining of a sore throat for the last couple of days.  I took her to Pete's office today and she is strep free.  Yay!  But that means she probably has a virus that has to run its' course.  Tonite, my throat is a bit sore and I am feeling off.  I made my regular appointment for the kid club at ( Read more... )

The fall sale is done.  I had 190 items to sell and about 75% of them sold.    I have my remaining stuff in a closet and am now waiting for the other 2 ladies from my sale zone to get their shit together and contact me about their left over stuff.  I would like to regain my office space.  The kids were happy with the clothes I picked up and I have ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while because I've been swamped.

Chris and I will have our 10th wedding anniversary on Oct. 23rd.  Because of Virginia's birthday being the 2nd of Oct and his sister's wedding being on Nov. 7th, we will not be able to be together for it.  Not the funnest thing but it is what we have to deal with.  He decided to be sneaky and wonderful and buy me an awesome anniversary gift.  I now ( Read more... )
