Well, I've just been reminded by my sister-n-law, Julie, to write on my blog...it's only been a few short days since I last wrote something and I already forgot I'd started the blog...LOL :) So I went to my site to post something new and had already forgotten how to do that. So Julie reminded me, but then I forgot the password I'd created a few days ago! Ugh...how does my brain get so diluted after just a few days? Ok, so I remembered my pw rather quickly, but still...this is ridiculous!
Ok, so what's going on around here? Well, my dishwasher (the right one) arrived today and b/c we didn't pay to have it installed, I'm sure it'll sit in my kitchen within the confines of its cardboard box for days before anyone touches it! Granted my husband is out of town, but even if he weren't, it's not a given we'd have it installed quickly. Neither of us have done such a thing before so it'll be trial and error...I see lots of leaks in our future!
Going to mom & dad's today after Colin wakes up from his nap...hopefully it'll be longer than 37 minutes :) I usually camp out there when Mike's gone...may as well take advantage of having them here before we're gone again. I also like to cook when I'm down there b/c I can really concentrate on what I'm doing, while at home I've got Colin at my ankles or on my hip and cooking can be quite challenging and even dangerous. But mom's pretty good at distracting them so I can make everyone a really yummy meal. Tonight I think it's "King Ranch Chicken". Tomorrow is supposed to rain all day so I'll do something really comforting and Dad has to work all day, so he'll appreciate that!
Need to finish picking up the rest of the kids school supplies this weekend. You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff they need...just for preschool. Ryan is considerably more than Colin cause he's in pre-k, but it still astonishes me the list we're given...especially when it says "10 glue sticks"...what the heck is that. And none of this stuff even belongs to them...doesn't go into a little bin labeled w/their name....NOOOO...OOOHH!!!! Nowadays everything's put together for everyone to "share." I guess this is ok, but is it not ok for anyone to have their "own" belongings anymore? Honestly, this is just another product of the crazy society we live in. Not allowed to put emphasis on individuals (unless it's the Olympics) anymore for fear this will hurt everyone else's feelings. Like how everyone gets trophies now instead of just the winners. I guess this is ok for the younger kiddos, but I hope to God they're not still doing this as the kids get older when they need to suck it up if they've lost and try harder next time. What kind of message are we sending our kids when they're told that everyone is equal? Skin color wise, that is true, but for everything else, it's blatantly FALSE!
Ok, I could go on and on and on, but I'd begin to bore myself. Signing off for now. Hopefully I won't forget to blog...although won't be over the weekend as Mom's computer has a virus and isn't working...bummer! Ta ta for now!

You'll get into the swing of things before you know it. It's amazing how this stuff just seems to happen.
Have a great weekend and tell your folks "hello" from us.
Best,
Jack
Well when your brain fails you, Im always a reminder! lol I hear ya on the school supplies in those early years Anne, it does get better. Jackson only HAD to have paper, pencils, and tissues. However, I had to buy (or mom did) new shoes, new backpack, new lunchbox... lol
Enjoy the cooking at your folks!
