First visit with the personal trainer. Check. I'm jello. But its good.

Baby Patrick is here today. He has had a bit of a fussy streak this afternoon. But in the last little bit, he calmed down and was chatting a little with me. I said to him, "What are you telling me?  What are you talking about?" Kinlee said, from across the room, "He is talking to you about deciduous trees, Mom." Oh good. She is also a baby translator. That's helpful.

A circle of friends. Ready for the Madison Zoo!

I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow. I've been busy every night this week, til 11pm a few nights. I've been gone and running every day all day. Its just been one of those weeks. But today... Today was supposed to be the catch up day. Today was no school. Today was home all day. Today was laundry and packing and cleaning and more cleaning. That was the plan. Instead... today I dropped my phone in the toilet.  Thankfully, into clean water.  Today I packed up two very disheveled little girls and hustle to the Verizon store. Today I got a new phone, after much debating in my head. Today I had a lovely visit with a new nutritionist. Today I worked for 90 mins on someone else's resume. These lists don't match up. I went to work tonight after trying hard to find someone to cover for me. It was not the productive day I had hoped for. I was frustrated a lot, and often, and easily.  But I made it through. I'm still not ready. The house won't be clean like I would pre...

Just thought I’d share…  I ordered the new Meet the Phonics set for my girls, and a new set of sight words flashcards for Braska to take to school in the fall.  (Her favorite motivator for tough tasks!)  She has plain-old worn through her first set! We have loved the letters, colors, shapes, numbers, and sight words DVDs.  They have been a huge part of my girls’ learning! And this is not a paid endorsement!!! News!!! This has been extended. Thru the weekend. Yay!! Save50 is the coupon code.

The last check on my girls shows that Kinlee has crawled into bed with her sister. I hope they remain as fond of each other as they are now... (And yes, Braska is still wearing Christmas pajamas, but its what is available. If you have cute pajamas that you think would be more appropriate, feel free to ship them our way!) **Sent from the land of Android via Verizon and my Incredible.

I am working on the parental present level for Braska’s IEP meeting on Monday.  I got up to go put some dinner together and left my laptop open on the couch.  When I returned, I found that someone had been there… This is why I save documents often. But really, I couldn’t be more proud of my little 3-year-old typist/speller/reader.  This was unprompted. She sounded things out as they came to mind. The kid is pretty fun.
