Whaaaa?...

Guess what?

I have NO idea what to write tonight.


Not one single clue... so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I bet it will be VERY random and less than inspirational.


  • Let's see, our big thing tomorrow is that K and I are going to go check out the proposed pre-school. There are a few in the area but this one seems good from the outside, so we're going to check out the inside tomorrow morning. This kid is growing up way too fast!


  • I was reading the newest issue of Fitness magazine... ironically while drinking a banana milkshake tonight, and there were what? about 5 women lined up, mostly in their 30's and one was 28 as I recall. I looked at them and thought "WHOA, do I really look that old to everyone else?" Clearly, yes, according to the girls on MAX the other night. Not that it matters but I guess I don't look to me like someone who can say "why yes young man, I'm in my 30's..." humm... I wonder if I plastered a picture up where no one knew my age, what the guess would be. Have you ever seen the program 10 Years Younger? Yah, made me think of that. Anywhoo... what do you think? Maybe I just have a really distorted sense of perception...

  • OH! While we were outside the other day we spotted a hurken snake in the flower garden that's right up against the wood shed. Now, where we live, we don't really have very many harmful snakes but this dude was pretty big. The kids loved it though... weirdos. Yah, K loved watching the snake but earlier in the day she went in the wood shed to grab some "organic material" (old cow poo) and came bolting back out, screeching and crying huge tears and slightly hyperventilating. She saw a mouse. A *quote* "big scary mouse, but it really wasn't that big just more scary and not really scary but it really startled me but I screamed so I probably scared it too..." All said through blubbering tears and screaming and then laughing because half way through her story she realized that it was just a mouse and that it was running away from her. However, she was quite glad to learn that the snake, later in the day, eats mice.

  • I have told you how protective she is of Eli's Garden... well we HAD one little rabbit that was causing most of the damage. That won't be a problem anymore. We had a very determined fuzzy cat who took care of that "issue". When K overheard what had happened. She barely looked up from her corn on the cob and said "Well, good! but YUCK!" Come on! I was actually expecting her to be upset, but like I said, she loves that garden. In fact, that other night she woke up crying talking about how she was worried about what was going to get into the garden and eat the plants while we slept. So, here she is protecting the garden:

  • R has had some more potty success. He managed to stay dry during our whole outing on Saturday and asked when he needed to use the bathroom and at the park yesterday he used the bathroom and he woke up dry from his nap today and used the potty most of the day too... I haven't had a gross pull-up in a few days now! Woohoo! (that was a terribly long sentence there!) He's getting to be a big boy too!
      Yah, that's it! That's all I've got for tonight so I'm off to bed in a bit so I can get up ready to take on a whole new adventure with the pre-school thing. Reality is, it'll probably take less than 30 minutes but still... this is a big thing for both of us!

    That snake just creeps me out... especially at 4:30 in the morning.
