13 things occupying my mind
come on inside.....
1. I'm going through library withdrawal. Its been over 2 weeks since we've visited. We've been so busy.
2. The Posse Rats are on their way over. (No school in town for the next two days :()!!!!! For my new Multiply friends, the "Posse Rats" are the group of neighborhood boys that hang out in our basement. Its a love/hate thing for me.
3. Why does listening to Japanese relax me? For the past 3 nights I've tried to watch a movie and I keep falling asleep. I hope I'm learning Japanese subliminally?
4. Yumi's doing very well on her diet. She is also exercising more. Why can't I be more like my cat?
5. My Christmas shopping has begun. I want to be done before December 1st so I can enjoy the season without shopping stress.
6. A great way to keep your house tidy is to invite friends over. This seems to be the only way to motivate me to clean my house! At least I'm rewarded afterwards.
7. DS8 has a Pyogenic Granuloma. That sounds terrible but its not serious. I thought it was a mole growing on the back of his neck but it was blood red. We have to see a dermatologist, but we couldn't get an appointment until Nov 13th. They may not even remove it at that appointment. I hope we can take care of this before Christmas. Even though its nothing to worry about, he's still my baby!
8. I haven't eaten one piece of Halloween candy. HONEST! (Of course I have been sabotaging myself with hot chocolate.)
9. Wall paper may not be evil after all. You may remember when I tried to remove the wallpaper border in my kitchen. It turns out it was probably the way the previous owners pasted it. Yesterday I helped a friend remove wallpaper in her living room and we were done in less than 1 hour!! We only used water. The outer paper came off and then we simply sprayed the under layer with water. It scraped off in huge sheets. She told me she had pasted the paper decades ago and she had primed the surface after sanding the walls smooth. I couldn't believe the difference. I still will never hang wallpaper though.
10. I think I'm going to make an emergency backpack if we have to leave the house suddenly. My heart goes out to all those families in California. My gut instinct would be to grab photos and then I realized, I have uploaded most of our photos to Winkflash. I do need to scan baby photos though and get those uploaded as well. It would also take me about an hour to go through our stored paper mess to find important documents.
11. I have to start work early today and I don't want to. Its my last night this week though so I have the weekend to look forward to.
12. I have to figure out how to make a zombie face out of oatmeal. I'm thinking we can use an oatmeal paste on DS12's face and then color it green. He's going to make fake blood too out of corn syrup and red food coloring.
13. The Posse Rat that's related to me by blood just called. I guess my "me" time is over and I better go pick him up to join the fun.
Have a great Thursday! Peace and blessings!

Your days are so busy that I'm glad my kids are grown. Reminds me of all the times that every kid in the neighborhood was parked at my place. Wouldn't have had any different. The zombie face sounds neat. Hope it turns out for you. Hope your day was fun, sounds like it would be. Love the 13 rule idea.
