~ I don't have a dryer in my apartment. So after I wash my load, I get to haul it down 3 flights of stairs, down the sidewalk, and down more stairs to the laundry room. Then I get to pay 75 cents for 45 minutes of drying time...which half of the time doesn't even work so well. Then I have to haul the loads back up all of the stairs. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying.
~ I didn't know it was humanly possible for so much snot to come out of such a small person. Roo is a faucet. Luckily she's still eating/sleeping/acting just fine.
~ I babysat Abby today. Even though she's 2 now, in my mind I keep expecting her to still be 6 months old, like she was when I started watching her. She's going to have a little sibling this Fall. I wish my kids were getting a sibling this Fall. Once again, not complaining...just saying.
~ Cameron & Abby scribbled crayola all over his cinder block walls. Getting anything off cinder block is next to impossible because it's such an uneven surface. Might have to paint over that one.
~ We got Cameron a Razor scooter today. $5 off craigslist. I think they're around $40 at Walmart. Can't wait to show it to him...I think we'll wait until it stops snowing in Utah. He's pretty fast on one already, so I can only imagine what he'll be able to do when he can practice every day. Those things are fun...maybe Nate & I will get one too...
~ This week I braved the crazy crowds and registered Cameron for Headstart preschool. We thought we wanted to put him into the one at East High....but after weighing the pros and cons, the free preschool won! So assuming he gets accepted (it's income-based, so he should!), starting in September he'll go 4 days a week for 3 hours a day...meals included. Not to mention, it's about a 2 minute walk from our door...as opposed to a 5 minute drive.
~ LOST was a re-run last night. What's the deal. We were not happy.
~ My newest favorite show is Castle. Ever seen it? Monday nights. Castle & Beckett are hilarious. I'm usually not a fan of crime-solving shows...but this one cracks me up...and I can never figure out 'whodunnit' until the end.
~ Today both my kids were sitting side-by-side eating crackers. Their matching left-cheek dimples showed as they chomped away...made me smile.
~ We're kind of leaning towards eastern Tennessee now...perhaps Knoxville (home of Dave Ramsey, might I add). Less tornados...more mountains. And closer to the coast. We'll see. We've already been in touch with some school districts out there and researched how to get a TN teaching license. It's not hard. And it's free. Right on, Tennessee.
~ I have been a single mom for the past week. Nate's finals are killing him. Roo cries everytime he leaves the house. And everytime Cam sees him, he says "Are you going to work or school now, Daddy?" He just automatically assumes that Nate's not sticking around the house anymore. Lame....but necessary, right?
~ I hate my hair. I've always hated it, but right now it's at the annoying length...it's not short, but it's not long. It's at the length where I always chop it off....but I think I'm going to grow it long. I had it really long right when I left on my mission. I think I liked it...??
~ Cam is wearing swimming shorts and moon boots and his bike helmet....and begging to go outside. I would, but it's freezing, and I don't even want to imagine what would happen to the snot level on Roo if we went out in that cold.

~Okay, so I was a good mom and let the kids loose outside. (I made him wear pants first!) It wasn't bad...the snot was containable. The wagon rides were fun. The visits with my friends were entertaining. I should learn to follow my kids more often.
~ Plus...they both rewarded me by eating awesome amounts of their dinner. I sauteed onion, mushrooms and zucchini. Ground it up into itty-bitty pieces. Mixed it into spaghetti sauce. Roo ate the sauce plain....by the spoons-ful. Cam ate a huge bowl of sauce-covered pasta as well....he'll eat ANYTHING as long as you feed it to him and pretend each bite is a Thomas train "going to park in the garage." Seriously. It's amazing.
~ I think tonight I will park myself in front of the tv with a bag of m&ms and watch Marley & Me.

(Both of my boys always look yummy in the morning....but in different ways of course.)

My Suzie never looks that clean when using her own spoon! WOW! And I'd join you with the tv and m&ms but I'm in Oregon, so, you know...
Yeah, I know you're in Oregon. You don't have to rub it in....geez! But lets veg out in June, k?
This day is arnanas A-R-N-A-N-A-S! This day is arnanas A-R-N-A-N-A-S!
Me and Casey really like Castle, too! The only shows we really watch each week are Castle and Fringe...have you guys seen Fringe? It's pretty good...kinda reminds me a little of The X-Files.
If it makes you feel any better I have to pay &1.25 for 30 min, and each additional quarter gets me 6 more mins.
Now granted I don't have children so I can prob put my laundry off longer, but that price sounds dreamy!
