Little Einsteins

The ONE house has been under the wrath of LUCY this weekend. If I went over the details you would feel sorry for me and everyone else in the house, but I don't want your pity.....I want you to take her for a day maybe two and then fix her and give her back!!!!

In all honesty it has been a challenge not to scream, yell, and I hate to admit that I did break down with a few tears as I was leaving church (as Pastor was greeting everyone. It hadn't even started yet.) while she laid in the back on the floor, litterally kicking and SCREAMING. I just don't get it. Last week she sat fine the whole time. She also won't stay in the nursery by herself. She screams (not cries) until I return. I can't do this to the awesome volunteers. I really do think it is a phase, allergies, maybe some molars, and the NO Pacy thing.

Another event that actually does not relate to my kids (WOW, I know!). We have a lot of TVs. Why? Because we have a lot of people in the house. They are mostly older ones we've pooled together, or had passed down to us. The one in the bedroom is the biggest and oldest. It is now also tempermental. At any given moment it turns off. We are silly people and have been battling this for over a year!!!! We literally fight with the TV and turn it back on, then it turns off. Again, we turn it on, then it turns off. I really wanted to watch ROSEANNE last night and turn it back on 6 times before I finally took defeat and went to bed. Most shows I wouldn't do this, but Roseanne is just one of those shows I watched growing up and it also made me feel normal. Besides I love all the referrences to places close to "home" such as Elgin, Dekalb, and Chicago. So back to the crazy TV.. Why do we do it? Because sometimes we win and it stays on. Bart thinks it has a mind of it's own, since it stays on only when he falls asleep, as if to taunt him.

Finally, a funny little coincidence. We love the Disney's Little Einsteins. The four kids...Leo, Qunicy, Annie and June take us on adventures all around the world and include great music too! A new video comes out this week, too!!!! Take a look at the kids though! Leo, the red head with glasses=Stone. Quincy, the African-American (black) little boy=Dante. Annie, the blond haired, blue eyed little girl=Lucy. And then June, the asian little girl=Kate (to be included soon!) We are the walking billboard for Little Einsteins. And my kids are as smart, cute, creative, and talented as them too. Now, where can I find a Rocket? Posted by Picasa

Hi Jenny!

Where in Illinois are you from? I went to NIU! I lived in Bloomindale, IL for eight years, then moved to Lombard. I grew up in Wheeling, IL., a small suburb north of Chicago.

What a small world. We are now in Kentucky.
