Entry FeedOK. Life is getting crazy. And I am getting lazy. Maybe...
Every time I've sat down to write, I've had Daughter jump onto my lap demanding nursery rhymes on Youtube, or one of the boys wanting to do something with the computer. Really, the computer sits here idle and bored until I try to use it, and then we have line-ups and fights. Oh what fun!
Quick updates - Halloween was fun for the kids. A little problem - they really don't seem to care about all of the candy they worked so hard to collect, so I am eating about 20 pieces a day (ok, let's be honest, maybe a little more). UGH! I so don't need the candy. A friend was telling me about her year without candy. I may give it a try, if only I could go a day without temptation.
Daughter is taking skating. She can't skate. She can't even stand on skates (though she could last spring). Part of me thinks it is a waste of money. Another part of me loves to see watch her smile, laugh, fall, get up, and come of the ice beaming about how super fast she is.
My hockey is going well. I've learned how to do cross-overs! I bought myself a new stick yesterday. The women in both my Monday AM and Tuesday night groups are amazing.
I am starting to really love ballet, and it is a nice leg workout. In my head I am a beautiful and graceful dancer. I just wish that they didn't have the huge floor to ceiling mirrors - the prancing hippo look isn't what I envision.
Son One is preparing for his First Holy Communion. I get to help out at the church. Today was another beautiful Sunday where we walked to church together enjoying the lovely fall day. This was after I yelled at him to get his church homework done. "God Loves You!" "Jesus died so you won't go to hell!" Husband, United and slightly amused by Catholicism, just smiled.
I've been reading. LOVED The 19th Wife, my next book club book. On Friday I picked up a book from the library that I had put on hold over the summer. It was called, Hard and Fast and the cover was borderline pornographic, so I had to grab another book just so I wouldn't be embarrassed about ordering the chick lit. I picked up, The Slap. Read both books already, and returned them to the library on my way to church this morning.
This week I am off to see Michael's movie before Tuesday Night Hockey. I'll let you know how it goes!
