They must be troublemakers, like their father?

After 21 years of marriage, my brother and his wife are expecting their first children, twins, due in early September. Bob posted on his live journal blog last evening that Tricia was in the hospital, with some complications. Thankfully, the babies are fine now, though SIL is on bed rest in the hospital. I'm praying she will be very bored for several more weeks, until the babies reach at least 34 weeks.

It's been a long spring already

2 of my big boys were recently diagnosed with aspergers syndrome. It was a very surprising diagnosis, as I did not realise they were "different". I just thought they were introverts, shy like me. The counselors think they have aspergers as they do not interact with classmates/peers and really only talk to teachers and family members. They are both very intelligent, and get good/great grades, aslo a sign of aspergers. The counselors will be working with them to teach them how to carry on a conversation and how to read facial expressions and body language. My doctor said people with aspergers are usually more intelligent than average and that some very famous people, like Bill Gates, are though to have it. It hasn't stopped him from his dreams.

How did that happen? The year flew by. At her check up on tuesday, she was 18 pounds, 5 ounces and 29 inches long. My oldest daughter was 20 pounds, 5.3 ounces and 29 1/4 inches long at 6 months. One of them had to take after my 5 ft 1 and shrinking MIL. :)

I'll try to remember to post photos later, no promises that it will be before monday.

Security +

My brain is spinning. I have to finish the studying and pass the CompTIA test by June, or lose my job. How many abbreviations can they throw into one book? MAC, DAC, smtp, pop3, https, udp, my brain hurts. And I took the boot camp course at learning tree for a week before I started studying. I like troubleshooting and fixing pc's, but the certification I could do without.

I can't wait for spring!

In the last 2 weeks, I've had 6 kids with strep throat, 1 with a double ear infection and 3 of the 6 also had a stomach type bug. Only after the stomach thing went through the 3 of them did one of my high school kids mention that there was one going through their school.

Now, the pollen is getting bad and my allergies are already bothering me. Time to replace the prefilters on my hepa filters?

Somebody knock some sense into me!

My parents did not come down for Christmas. Therefore, we are making a very quick trip to NY to see them. Even if I don't really want to drive that far, little brother already changed his plane tickets to fly back to Madison from Rochester, instead of National airport. My oldest 2 have volunteered to stay home and watch/take care of the cat and dog and be here when the repairman comes to fix the dishwasher, again. It is making a weird whining noise, probably something stuck in the food disposal. :)
