It’s about 12:30 a.m. Friday morning. I’ve just given Jessie some cough and cold medicine to hopefully clear her head and relieve her cough. Jacob seems to have gotten over his, but both of the kids spent a great deal of time outside today. They’ve created a slide using the rope on the tree fort in the back yard. Carry it up the hill, then slide down on your feet while holding it. Repeat forever.<\/p>\n
Jacob says he wants to build a catapult. This should tell you something.<\/p>\n
We’re in Day 4 of “Mother Nature Hates Football”. <\/p>\n
So much stuff going on: Jessie has her testing for gifted and talented on Saturday. This should be interesting, because Jessie doesn’t quite have the same gifts as Jacob. She’s a phenomenal creative talent, and she can remember almost anything you tell her or she experiences, but it’s not the same as Mr. Flinger.<\/p>\n
If you’re an Imagination Movers fan, they’re coming to the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie. Buy me some tickets. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Laureen has been happier in the four days she’s been home than she has in a long while. Apparently having the chance and time to just work on things around the house is a comfort to her, and she’s made headway on The Garage Where Stuff Goes to Die, plus most of the downstairs. <\/p>\n
I don’t know if I mentioned the yard sale she held a while back. It was kinda interesting to wake up at 9 a.m. on a Saturday, go downstairs, and see people crawling over the yard. I went outside, and a guy asked me if I had a power cord for some random VCR. There was stuff all over the place, and it took a while for my uncaffeinated head to realize that Laureen had woke up at 5 a.m. or so and decided to have a yard sale that day.<\/p>\n
We sold the hockey gear. That was one of my last vestiges of Nortel. Won’t miss it much.<\/p>\n
I received a new pair of rollerblades for Christmas, but the weather has made them somewhat useless. I have tried them out, but it’s so different. I’m used to hockey skates, where you have a hard shell and your ankles don’t give. These are an adventure, to say the least. <\/p>\n
Anyway, here’s hoping for a good weekend all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
