Only on my fifth attempt did I finally get the password right... guess it's been a while.... and even when I finally did it was a random guess at best.

The girls and I finished watching yet ANOTHER movie! AHHH!!! I think I'm going to go crazy! I can't stand watching so many movies! Yet at the end of the day I have little energy left to do much else and they all love to do it so who am I to argue?

I suggested to C that for our anniversary instead of doing the nice but traditional dinner and a movie, or even a night out of the house kinda deal we go to see Fife ( I think hat's how she spells it) in concert. Not that I like love her or anything but just to shake things up a little. Of course C being C wasn't all that keen on it, he much rather stick with the traditional but I know that out of sheer respect for me he will bend to my likings... :)

Oh well.... come August things will kick it into high gear around this joint and September will be here before we know it. Gotta sit down and seriously start planing out the school year. With this being our first full year of homeschooling I really want it to be a fun and positive experience. How cheesmo does THAT sound?! Oh well... we'll have fun.

Urg!!! Another failed attempt at downloading a program. I am so computerally (if that's even a word) inept!!

Hmmm... what else shall I divulge tonight...

I dreamt about my father last night. It was an unusual sort of dream. Actually come to think of it it is unusual that I dream of him at all. He looked... well not how I pictured him. Which that in itself is probably quite accurate.

So instead of going on like a family trip this summer we decided to stick around home base a bit more and get a start on developing the basement. But first it has to get cleaned out of all the junk that was so neatly stacked not once, not twice, but three times and then rummaged through time and time again over the years. And where am I going with all this.... shute... OMG.. totally drawing a blank here... Let's see... basement... junk... bins.... letters... pictures... YES!!!! It's all coming back to me now. O.K.! Quick! Before I forget again! So I'm going through the kids old stuff. And if you can imagine, lot's of kids equals lot's of stuff even though most of which I already gave away keeping only the extra special little outfits they came home, report cards etc. Then I also have a few big ticket baby/toddler items and this CRAZY thought goes through my head!

"I should keep this for the grand kids." Yeah, funny hu? Very funny!

Not many people my age start considering their grandchildren as they weed though their basement junk. So yeah, I kept the ride on car. Keeping the mini high chair, etc. etc. Then I went further with that thought... man in five years M is going to be twenty years old. It's just been three years that M and H have been with us but I know that the next five is going to pass with a blink of an eye. TWENTY! Like that's not even eighteen, that's TWENTY! It wasn't that long ago that I was twenty... It's a bit scary to think too how much maturing must go on in a person just in those few years.

Ok I could go on but why would I?

Ok yeah just one more thing... I got a Nikon D80. SO COOL! Even got my first job lined up already. We'll see how badly I'll bomb that one.

Oh and... I got a dog. So there...
