1. I'm pretty sure that I only have writer's block when I sit down in front of my computer. I have all these cute and witty things to say when I'm running errands or just hanging out with me kids but I've been sitting here for a while and I've got nothing. It's very disheartening.
2. School started last week and I've only forgotten to pick up my kindergartener once. I was only 10 minutes late. It was the first day of early release. That's my excuse.
3. Our front yard has managed to recover from it's destruction from the replacement of our sewer pipe. We were able to get some free sod a month or so ago so the grass is looking good. Then some amazing friends helped my husband replace the sidewalk this past week. And no stray animals managed to walk across it while it was wet.
4. My older brother and his family are coming over from Scotland for Christmas this year. It's been 9 years since they lasted visited. They'll be here for a whole month. I'm excited to meet 2 nieces and 1 nephew.
5. My older brother has a god complex. He thinks that he knows all the answer to everything. That he's the only one who knows how to fix your life. Since he's an osteopathic doctor, it's a perfect fit. As a brother, it kind of sucks.
6. My 7 year old daughter is moody and full of attitude. I was counting on puberty not hitting for a few years.
7. Why are daughters more flippant and smart mouthed with their mothers? This is a serious question. I never went through this phase but my Mom was mentally ill and physically handicap by the time I would've hit this phase. So I need all the advice I can get.
8. Sweet Cheeks lost her first tooth!
9. Having just O'Henry and Tater Tot at home in the mornings has been interesting. It's all about cars, Elmo and hitting each other. Well, more like O'Henry hitting Tater Tot and then Tater Tot either hitting him back or taking the wooden spoon away.
10. O'Henry loves dogs! He gets so excited when he sees them. Then he tries to grab their tongue. It can be a little nerve wrecking when it's a strange dog. Jamba is used to it and has never bit him. Although he gets tired of O'Henry keep trying. It's so funny to see such a big dog run away and hide from such a little boy.
