• The internet connection right now is so hit and miss it's driving me crazy!  If I log off and try to log back on it may or may not work.  God forbid I turn the computer off.  I think it has something to do with the router. We are trying to run internet downstairs to the basement and for some reason it isn't working and we can't figure out why.  When we unplug the router and the modem and wait 30 seconds then plug them back in it works, but of course still can't it to work downstairs.
• I have been snacking like crazy today.  Not really hungry, just snacky.
• Today was trash and recycling day...and neither of them came.  Probably had so much trash to pick up they just couldn't get it all done.  Hopefully they'll come tomorrow.  
• The boys have not been going to sleep lately and it's driving me nuts.  Last night James was awake in his bed until after 11, and Thomas until after midnight (I think because he got his meds late).  Tonight James is asleep already but was up until after 10, and Thomas until after 10:30.  I put James to bed at 8:10 (after a story) and I left Thomas read until 8:45.  But this staying up until all hours is really getting to me.
• Had fantastic sex last night but as a result didn't get a whole lot of sleep.  Then of course on top of going to sleep late James decided to get up early and come down and cuddle with Mommy and try to go back to sleep so I got all of about 4 hours sleep.  But then he didn't go back to sleep and just kept me up for 2 hours, until I let him/we got up at 10:30.
• I have a bunch of pictures to upload from Christmas.
• I messed up my Facebook account and I'm not sure I am going to be able to fix it- or be able to get back into it.
• I wish it was colder, if it was we would have gotten snow today instead of almost 2" of rain.  I would have loved for that to have been snow.  Now it's too warm for a fire.  We let it go out yesterday because the house was 85 degrees.  It still hasn't cooled down enough for the heat to kick on.  Tomorrow it should be cold enough to start the fire again.
• I baked bread today-potato bread at Elle's request.  Of course after the fact she asked if it was made with instant potatoes.  Of course it is, but I can't tell her that or she won't eat it. *rolls eyes*
• I've been filling out the boys' book lists for school (lists of books they read-each time they bring in 5 they get a free book) Thus far James has 5 lists(he only neds 15 books per sheet) and Thomas has 4 (he needs 20 books per sheet) this Christmas break.  They have a party at the end of the year for all the kids who bring in 25 lists or more.  James is up to 21 lists and Thomas is on list 26 already.   I only wish De like to read as much as the rest of the others- she is the only non-reader in the house.
• Elle has been practicing driving as much as possible since she got her permit.  She is improving markedly.  She is driving me nuts though.  She tried to find every excuse in the book to leave the house.  I don't mind letting her drive when I am actually going somewhere- and if the boys aren't with us, but I won't make a special trip so she can drive.  Everyday she asks me, "do you need to go _____?"  "do you need________?" I know she's excited but oy.  *L* I love her.  I guess I just hate that my baby is growing up.
