Just this and {THAT}

I haven't been blogging much lately- some because I feel like I don't have anything to 'say' but mostly because I can't keep any thoughts straight enough to bring together something worth reading. So I suppose a bulleted list of 'what we're doing' might suffice for the time being? We'll see...

1. I took my boys to school with me last night so I could get some work done. This usually means {them} running around like banchees doing alllll the things we don't let 'normal' children do at school. It usually means scissors and flashlights...and 1o minutes later we're back in the car with an armful (or two) of stuff to work on from home. Last night, however, I was a wee bit more prepared with happy meals and Scooby on the BIG screen. Needless to say, I got a LOT done (despite the entire chocolate milk that ended up on Gage's pants).

2. I start school on Tuesday....and so does RYAN!!!! He is so excited...we've got all his school supplies packed into his RED backpack. I even let him splurge a teeny bit - he got a "stappler". We met his teacher and she seems great so first day- here.we.come!

3. Gage is {still} bink-free!!!! And if you ask him what happened to all his binks, he will tell you the entire story...bugs and all ;)

4. I am not fitting into any of my 'normal' clothes these days. And yeah, yeah, yeah I know it's still pretty early but I consider myself pretty stretchy to begin with...hahahhaha! I bought one of those belly bands from Motherhood the other day...haven't used it yet but I could have TOTALLY invented it! I guess it's back to gauchos and thick waste bands for a bit.

5. Speaking of pregnancies....I have an appt on Sept. 4th that I'm just a wee bit nervous about. Despite the growing 'me', it's still pretty early and a lot could happen. I'm not sure if that's me being a pessimist...or a realist. Probably a bit of both.

6. JD has a big interview coming up next week that you 'might' hear more about but for now, he could sure use some extra prayers if you've got 'em.

7. Just finished Time Traveler's Wife and here's a tip - if you want that book to make any sense at all, read the dates. I skipped 'em and was lost until the end :)

8. Cravings? Um, yeah. Banana Cream Pie - homemade with REAL bananas and grahm cracker crust. Cyrus simply will.not.do. Could possibly be why I can't fit into anything at the moment ;)

9. Of the $737 that was in my camera fund in July, about $4 are left. Humph.

10. God continues to be ever-present, ever-graceful, and ever-loving in my life!

Wow...all that time and it's represented in 10 bullets. Nice.

Cheers to the end of summer and the {beginnings} of something great !
