Oct. 3, 2006 - On a Happy note
I just couldn't leave my blog with a sad post. So I am wasting time to blog another (actually I am trying to get a little closer to 5pm when my dh lands at DFW and will be home an hour after that.)
We are all getting so excited about our trip. My almost 4 yod keeps asking where Colorado is on the map. I have a strange feeling that all my children will somehow be involved in a Geography Bee at some point in their lives. Partly because mom is considering it for them. But mostly because these kids can't get enough of our the maps in our house. I LOVE IT!!!! I just love to see my children's interest taking off.
We are about to begin our treck into the laundry room. We haven't washed laundry in a week and a half. That is on purpose so I can get everything washed before we leave except their PJs (which are for the summer) and the clothes they wear tomorrow (but actually the PJs are coming with us since we're throwing them in car asleep on Thursday morning at 5am.) In fact, I am about to give the assignment of bringing me the clothes they want to wear tomorrow.
Oh HORRORS!!!!!! MY TODDLER JUST STARTED WRITING ON MY WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I am going to have two wall artist. I would take up stock in Magic Eraser but there are two problems with that. First of all, the paint in our house is cheap that even a wash cloth with water takes the paint off. Secondly, if we put our house on the market next spring (which we are hoping for) we are going to repaint the walls with the washable paint so that I CAN wash off wall art if needed. Of course, the only problem would be if my very artistic almost 4 yod finds another sharpie marker to draw with. I will have to tell the Sharpie Marker story sometime. She decided to get one off my desk this past week and wrote all over a table that her grandfather made for her and her sister. I was livid. And she got the marker on purpose this time. If not for the fact that my dh was there to calm me, I am afraid my hormones would have taken over at the time. <
I am headed down stairs to start my first batch of bread and the first load of laundry. I am going to break down and let my kids watch a video this afternoon. We spent the morning and early afternoon at the pumpkin patch. It was SOOOO hot. I am hoping that we will bring cooler weather home with us. Better yet, I am hoping that my dh's company will simply say "Go to your choice of cities and we'll pay for it." Hey, it could happen.
And that is the lighter side of Karen today. And if it's my last until after vacation, then it will be a fun post and not a depressing post as I put below this morning.
God Bless!!!
