On my mind

Just a few things I'm thinking about at the moment.

We are adding another bathroom to our house...a new counter top is being installed as I sit here by the bathroom counter top wizard....how do we keep it clean? I look at the other two and think..ugh, not today.

On my gmail, email site, my friend who will remain un-named to protect the innocense that I know exist within the person, when there is a green dot by (let's call the friend bippy) Bippy's name meaning that it's okay to chat with Bippy cause Bippy is online and I send a invite to chat by saying hi and Bippy doesn't reply what does that mean, does it mean Bippy is really not available to chat or that Bippy doesn't wanna chat with me?

Does Neal think I'm crazy because at one minute we are listening to the Eentsy Weensy Spider and the next we are rockin' to Nickelback's newest song? And is the head shaking back and forth dancing or saying "OH NO"

I watched a bio of Rock-n-Roll wifes, why, I don't know...guess I'm a housewife who wonders what it's like. Well, I was thinking about what it's like to be married to the STAR teacher. In the last week I have met a few ladies who have made comments like this..."No one reads Junie B like Mr. Kern" and "Since I have him here for a few minutes I just want to pick his brain...." and "Your husband is so LOVED in this district" I wonder if Rick Springfield's wife feels as insignificant and unnoticed as I have felt this week.....I mean when I have fought my way through crowds of screaming women just to get a little closer, is she thinking, "What a bunch of silly women?" I hope that Rick is as nice to his wife as Eric is to me...... (By the way, I am glad I'm a teacher's wife and not a Rocker's wife, I mean I'm thinking that he's home a lot more and so far he hasn't had women's underwear thrown at him......)

Boom DEEEE ADDAA Boom DEEEE ADDDAAA Boom Deeee AYYYYYY

Spencer

Spencer had crazy hair day last week..I'm finally getting a moment to post the awesome picture! Hair grown by Spencer (Dodging his mom's remarks about needing a haircut!) Hair designed by Eric (Of Course)

NEAL

Today I realized that I better not let Neal nap on my bed anymore...he was able to scoot himself and move the pillows that I use as barriers.

Happy baby boy, almost as long and as wide as his changing table!

First Pictures of Neal in the hospital on Feb. 5th 2008...just want to remind myself how far he's come!

Happy baby Neal in his activity chair and showing off some of his 8 baby teeth!

We are getting really excited. As of today, it's actually been painted, the light fixtures and being put up and tile in the bathroom. I'm finalizing the laminate flooring and the carpet it suppose to be put in the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving! We'll see what happens.

Do I really Live here???

Today I stayed home from church with Neal and Camilla. We layed on the bed this morning and Camilla asked me how we got this house? I told her the story and how when I first walked in the front door I just gasped and said, "This is such a beautiful house!" Well, Camilla said, "It's still beautiful mom, it's just a little dusty!" Ha, ha, ha...I have been thinking about that all day...It is such a beautiful home and tomorrow our contractor, Cody Trotter, is coming to begin the finish work on the basement! The wood trim, doors and all the "stuff" needed to finish the basement was delivered on Friday. I am more excited than I can even express!!! Tomorrow is the beginning of the FINISH WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, gotta go to bed, it's so late and I'm gonna be SO TIRED
