Infrequent

I'm being such an infrequent blogger that it's kind of ridiculous, but hey, maybe I'll make a comeback or maybe I'll close this one down and turn just to the "other blog." Part of the reason I am not blogging here is that I don't feel it's right to hijack the blog with all of my issues and not talk about the girls.

I could talk all about the girls here, and there's a lot I want to record, but lately, the girls need me to be present with them and not just writing about them. That's fair. In the mean time, I'll just give short updates...

oNe just finished her Science Fair project and did a really good job on it. Next year, we may have two projects to juggle. Ai-yi-yi. I'll have to take a week or two off to make it happen. I'm really proud of oNe. She learned research skills, can almost touch type (at 8!), and seems excited about science. I got to see a lot of growth between her capabilities of last year and this year. Last year, it took forever for her to type. This year, she was quite fast. What I should do, is compare her board from last year to the one from this year and see how many scientific concepts she covered last year versus this year. (How geeky would that be?)

twoK and I got to go on a school field trip on Thursday. It was so fun. I love field trips. She is so different from oNe. With oNe, I had to worry about her getting into trouble and doing something dangerous, with twoK, she just stays with the group and absorbs the experience. She made a really funny pun on the trip... Eggsactly, she said when we were looking at the eggs with the chickens. (Guess where we went.)

Three-a is my little sweetheart. She manipulates me to no end, but that's her job as baby, right? She clings tight to me whenever I have to leave (for work, at night at the end of snuggle time) and she tells me I should just stay with her always. I wish I could, but I don't think that would be very good for either of us.

This weekend has been great so far. On Friday night, we (MWH and I) got to have dinner with our 3 best couple friends. I'm still stuffed from the food. It was a great evening and we didn't get home until 11:30. Wowza, I felt like a rebellious teenager. Yesterday we walked around [big private] University campus with the girls and with a friend who has a dog (and is ready to give birth to her first child any second).

Today, twoK desperately wants to go to the Children's Museum--she's been begging for weeks. We'll go. MWH and I are a little burnt out on it, but it will be fun.

Oh, and remember my throat? I found this. It sounds exactly (eggsactly) like what my throat feels like. Remember this post? The number one thing I listed as a potential cause was stress. Yup. I think stress does weird and wacky (and not good) things to a body. I'm concentrating on relaxing.

Okay, enough boring stuff for now.
