Husbands!

Why is it that the husband who reminds the kids to pick up the lawn before they mow does not do so himself? He ran over Rosalie's new nikes that she took off while she was playing on the swings and threw in the tall grass... Oh well, at least they were on sale from shoe show, so only $20 down the drain. :P

It's been 6 weeks since I posted?

Wow! Same old stuff, different day. At least the kids get out of school on the 15th. Then I can sleep late every moring, or at least later than 5:30 or 6 am. Maybe I will be really decadent and sleep until 8 am some non work morning.

I'm hoping on de-cluttering the house this summer. We have way too much stuff for our 3 bedroom house. I think I will give away or throw away anything too small for the youngest 2 children and possibly eliminate some toys. Or at least get them all in their proper bins so the kids can find the parts when they want to play with something. It's kind of hard to play with mr potato head when you can only find one body, 3 arms and 2 ears.

2 is such a fun age.

Is it bad that this song is Rosalie's favorite? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC_hF31z130 She sings the "I'm a gummy bear" part and dances. It is amusing to watch her.

#10 is 2?

How did that happen? It's really weird to not have another baby by now, but maybe she will be the last? Ms Rosalie is now 26 pounds, from a birhtweight of 6 pounds, 10 ounces at 6 weeks early. She is a very happy active little girl and thinks she is a big kid. Maybe she will potty train this summer? That would be weird, not changing diapers after 21+ years. :)

Has it really been almost 2 months since I posted? Wow! Live is crazy, as usual. Huuby is having fun driving in for his new job. Previously he took a vanpool. At least his niece lives fairly close to work. If he is too tired to drive home, he can crash on her couch for the night. He tries to get home on time Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I work those nights and we need to get the kids to bed on time. Most of them are night owls, like their mom and dad.

I am so happy spring is here. I hate the dark, depressing days of winter. We have daffodils blooming now, and everything is starting to grow. Which also means our allergies are starting to bother us. I guess I can't have the nice weather without the blooming stuff, so I'll be taking my allergy and asthma medicines and trying not to spend a lot of time outside.

DC snow problems

Hubby left work at 4:30 last night. He got to Vienna VA at 9:30, 15 miles in 5 hours. At least he made it home by 12:45, the last 58 miles were in under 3 hours, yay?

Stress, what stress?

Hubby went in for a physical 10 days ago. On that day his heart rate, pulse, everything were within normal limits. He got sick last weekend with one of the stomach bugs the kids like to bring home from school and share. Wednesday, he was still having problems eating anything, so he went to the doctor. His blood pressure was 180 over 90 (I think I have the bottom number correct, I know he said the top was 180.). The doctor has no idea why the top of his heart is beating twice as fast as it should, he could hear it with the stethescope during the exam. So Hubby is now on blood thinners, with a 2 day stress test scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, and a visit to the Cardiologist the week after. The doctor must have been worried, as he immediately arranged for the tests and cardiologist visit, making other patients wait. Of course, he also said that sometimes, if they stop the heart, when they restart it the beat goes back to normal? Does not sound like fun...
