Walking Backwards

The boys are not so quietly reading books, so I am going to try to knock out this weekend's baker's dozen. I could add so much more, but I think keeping the info at a nice round 12 will keep it interesting and be more than just me ranting on and on.

1. I forgot to eat on Friday until around 7 in the evening because I was keeping myself so busy. Low blood-sugar makes everything seem unusual.

2. Nicholas had another behavioral assessment. We would really like to start knowing the results of these things since we have already sent ourselves into the poor-house paying for them. Another one is scheduled for next week.

3. Set-up for the silent auction was long and tedious. I was left to set up a room almost all by myself.

4. I like Lebanese food.

5. Make sure there is a lock on the door before getting changed in a preschool bathroom. No one wants to see you squeeze yourself into pantyhose, ever.

6. I should have doubled checked to make sure I brought my nice shoes with me when I left for the preschool in the morning. I looked a little odd wearing a fancy velvet burnout skirt, pantyhose, beautiful blouse, and Converse.

7. Joe is totally incapable of doing my job completely when I am gone. He acknowledges this as well. He was very proud to have completed a load of laundry and kept the child alive at the same time.

8. I should not drive home at 2:30 in the morning after such a long day. I was taking my life and the lives of others into my hands.

9. I could not get out of bed on Sunday and watched a ton of public television including the conclusion of Bleak House which left me a little wanting.

10. We ate out for every meal this weekend and now cannot afford groceries. Hmmmmmm, next time I will not use exhaustion as an excuse for not having forethought.

11. Right now we are experiencing some of the nicest weather of the year (80 degrees, sunny). Only in Texas is February the best time of year.

12. My house became dirtier this week/weekend than it has been since we moved in. Even dirtier than it was when it was torn up from us moving.

13. The reason I couldn't write an entry last night:
