I know the assaulting of police officers is not funny.

I know that the very real anger and pain the farmers have is not amusing.

But this photo--I had to laugh.

DD9 received an Ruby Red Acer Netbook for her birthday (h

Just did these experiments with DD9, who had a blast.

OK, I'm on Facebook and as such have taken too many quizzes (what kind of tatoo should I have, what LOTR character am I, etc), and joined in too many memes.

Just have a few seconds before I have to run out and pick up DS6 at the bus stop (half day Kindergarten is the most inconvenient thing invented by Man), but wanted to share,

So, the kids moved in last week, we're on day nine of being a family of five.

The kids will be ours!

Soon to be DD7 and DS5 stayed the night last night, and went back to their foster home this afternoon. They will move in this Wednesday!

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted (I've mostly been lurking). I've been busy with homeschooling DD (second grade) and keeping up with the garden, with the house, and so on.

DD's JRA has flared up again, her foot is hurting, causing limping, and her knee is swollen.

Well, the pounds keep melting off! I went to landsend.com a couple weeks ago to buy two new swimsuits for the summer and found, much to my surprise, I was now a size 22!

DH and I have completed the Pre-Adoption Training Classes and have the Certificates to show it! Here's what mine says:

Yesterday was my last day at work, I'm officially a SAHM again. This is mostly due to the fact that I was terrible at the job and miserable about it.

I've been slowly and steadily loosing weight since last fall and I've now reached my first major benchmark, I've gone down a whole size!

Well, we've been mucking out the front bedroom, it's fairly empty in there right now, but most of the stuff that was in there is now in the dining room or in the living room.

Well, I got the introductory packets of information from the AdoptUSKids organization and from the Boy

So, DH and I have decided to get the ball rolling to adopt a child (or two). We've talked about it for over a year and we're ready to start the process.

I've been slowly emerging from my funk this winter and one of the things that I now feel like I can cope with is our finances.

So, there was a sprinkling of snow last night, thus, naturally, the greater Portland Metro Area is having fits. "ICE on the ROAD!--Save yourselves!" And DD's school is on a two hour delay.

There's a lot, so I'll bullet point. (Just now learned how to do this in HTML for this post, impressive, non?)

I cannot express my joy as I type this from the cozy comfort of the nook in my kitchen!

I went to see the Homeopath that I've been taking DD to for the past two years for my own health consultation.

Or, very little play, anyway.

Since I started work in July I've not had a lot of down time. I've got a lot of unread email, unswept floors, unvacuumed carpets, and a neglected garden.

Let's see, I've been wallowing around in Dental Hell for what feels like months, painting and doing home improvements like mad before the upcoming visits by my mother and my MIL & FIL in July, and not

I just had a very good job interview this morning, and I'm reeeeealy hoping I'll get it.

I've got a job interview tomorrow (Tuesday) morning for a phone sales rep postition.
