S.O.S

I am getting some blog time in on Ben's laptop. Our family PC is on it's last leg. I am in a panic to get all of my pictures onto an external hard drive before it completely gives up. Sometimes I have 20 minutes to work on it, sometimes only 5 before it freezes up and restarting won't work. I don't know if we will get another PC or a Mac. At this point, I don't care as long as it works. I feel sort of sad about the death of our computer. We have had this one since we were living in the ghettos of northeast Arlington. (since Rebecca was born almost 10 years ago) I think we have had a good run and it's time for something updated, reliable, and FAST. ;)

When I have more time and access to my pictures I will do a photographic update so that you can see what we have been up to! There will definitely be pictures of Haley's first day of Kindergarten. She is soooo ready to go to schoo on Monday. Happy weekend!

Situation... NORMAL!

I got a call from the nurse today and she says the xrays didn't show a gap. Everything on his arm is back to normal again! My little man is up and moving on his own. He can walk across our living room without stopping and he doesn't let himself fall. If he feels out of balance he will sit down and take a minute before he's up and walking again. I am so proud of him!

On Saturday, I had an appointment at the salon to get my hair cut. So, I did. 8 inches to be exact. It feels like I have no hair now, and it is so much cooler than my long hair was. Don't get me wrong, I will grow it out long again but I am enjoying the shorter length. I will post a picture if I can get it uploaded. Our home computer is dying a slow and painful death. We will definitely have to get another one very soon. Right now, if I make any sudden moves it freezes up and we have to reboot.

Getting ready for school little by little. The next weekend will be clothes and shoes, tax free of course. AND I won tickets to the Rangers game on Saturday. This week will be the calm before the storm. This Friday all the summer interns will be leaving and next week we have two people out for the week on vacation. do you know what that means? It means that I will be doing everything from start to finish. I am not exaggerating. I plan on being there by 7am, working through lunch, and leaving right before 6pm. AND next Friday is my last Friday off on the summer schedule but I will be working it. Nice, huh? Good thing I am not doing it for free. :)

Happy Monday people.

ZUMBA!

Have you heard of it?? I love it. It's a class I took at the health club. Basically, it's salsa dancing with a lot of hip shaking and some basic aerobics exercises built it. I went during my lunch hour and by the time I was finished I was sweaty. I know, not the best way to go back to work but I have to say I really enjoyed it. Tomorrow is regular pilates and I am anxious to give it a try. I took a class a few years ago, but I am sure this will be different. Especially since I have had a kid since then.

Alexander will be going back to the doctor for his x rays on Friday. We will see how his mock pox are doing and see if his shoulder is back to normal. He is moving right along in the walking department. He can take about 8 steps without sitting himself down to crawl.

I will be down to one little kiddo this weekend! Hooray!

Ain't nothin' but a thang

Having been doing much lately, wake up drop kids off go to work pick kids up. I left a little bit early yesterday because I got a call from the sitter saying that Alexander has a rash from head to toe. Literally. He got a chicken pox shot at his last check up and the doctor says that it's a mock rash. He has a rash and it is itchy, but it isn't contagious and it isn't really the chicken pox. Nice, huh? He is a little irritable but fine for the most part. We bought school supplies for Haley and Rebecca, and some basic supplies for Madison. Over the next few weeks we will be sorting through clothes to see who can fit what. We will buy backpacks and shoes on the tax free weekend. With four kids, it is finally worth it for me to get out during that madness. We will start early, and get it over with. Ben is in Mexico City for work. Despite the armed escort, the WHOLE truck carrying their equipment was stolen. The scenario is right out of a movie. Since the Mexican President and a former US president will be speaking at this conference, their is a HUGE investigation under way. Some idiot unknowingly stole from the president. No matter how crooked the police are there, someone is going to get a beat down for it. Anyway, Ben and his crew are safe and sound for now. When I talk to him on the phone I can hear the shots from the gun fights in the street. I would prefer that he NOT go there again. Either way he has been asked to look for blue glass. Evidently, Mexico City is known for it so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
