Not a lot going on......really.  I'm just kind of out there lately and not really focusing on a whole lot.  Take today for instance.  I woke up at 6am, asked "The Hubby" if he was going for his run, he said, "No" and I went back to sleep till 7:30.  I really just didn't want to get out of bed today.  Once I did it was just a normal day of trying to get "N" to do the routine.  Maybe once school starts he'll get better at it.  Last night "The Hubby" told me that I have a Cisco phone showing up and that the loft has to be moved around so the phone will work.  We started to change it and I tried to finish it today but with no luck.

Do you ever notice how there are never enough outlets on a wall?  That's the problem I have and also the fact that the loft has no cable connection so I can't just plug the Cisco phone into that.  So the loft is tore apart and I just have to figure out how to rearrange it now.  Luckily the cords aren't a huge mess.  I really hate how messy computers and their cords are.

I always have these grand ideas about the fun things to do with the kids and then in the morning reality sets in and I realize that the house needs to be cleaned, laundry has piled high, content needs to be written, etc, and then I get back into the daily habit of trying to do these things so that way "The Hubby" can focus on work and not the day to day stuff.  I asked "N" to please put his Magnetix away and it's one of the three things I ask him to do and it takes him over three hours to pick up less than 75 pieces of Magnetix.  I told him that he had 10 minutes (after I had been telling him for the past 2 hours) or he forfeits lunch.  So go figure, after "O" has eaten and is napping, he decides to do it and then I'm already in my groove working and he has the nerve to get mad at me.  I told him, "You make me wait, you're going to have to wait till I'm at a breaking point now."   Then he starts throwing a fit and I just ignore him and every now and then tell him, next time do what I ask when I tell you and we won't have this problem.

So needless to say I didn't get hardly anything done like I anticipated but adding a few deals to the Kids Eat For site and that's about it.  Oh yeah, I forgot, I also have the loft tore apart and put together enough to get my work done.  Tis life and it will only get more complicated the older you and your kids get.  Maybe next week I'll take them to see the last summer movie at Harkins. 

I was going to take the kids to Pump it Up but I can't spend $7.00 a kid so they can play for an hour and a half.  Luckily the Play Factory opens back up at the beginning of August and then the kids can play all day for the same price.  So I thought maybe I would sign them up for The Little Gym because "O" is now into cheerleading and gymnastics but to put both kids in for that it would be $600 for 21 weeks which I guess isn't bad with the payment plan which would make it about $29.00 a week for 21 weeks.  I guess I should talk to "The Hubby" and then decide if we should do it or not.  I may do just her because in a few weeks "N" well be in school and "O" really has nothing so maybe that will be her treat.

We almost pierced her ears this past weekend too.  I figured that we'd do it when she turned 5, that's how old I was, and that way she can decide for herself if she really even wants them.  She said that she does now but I don't know if she really understands what piercing entails.  I talked to many places about getting her ears done at this age and supposedly they do a lot of kids her age but I really don't know if I'm really that comfortable doing it yet.  I remember it took me two times to actually get the courage to pierce my ears.  I remember that I went to a Claire's Boutique at Woodland Mall (either that or North Kent Mall) and the first time I got there I sat in the chair and all of a sudden I totally freaked out and was balling my eyes out and had to leave I was so scared.  As I was walking out of the store I remember this old lady was laughing at me and that made me cry even more.  A few weeks later I ended up with enough courage to get it done.

I think we'll just wait a few more years and that way she's able to decide for herself and be able to understand what she's getting into with them.
