So Much To Blog...
So little time.
We are all set to go to Disney World in October! Dan is finalizing the arrangements. Thanks to Mr. Bob, we are going to get a great condo and here it is.
The kids are currently playing with shocking enthusiasm with a large papier mache gold reindeer and a small red version of same. No accounting.
Also no Amazing Race recap this week because TIVO got messed up and I didn't catch the last 15 minutes. Some sporting event or other buggered up the schedule.
Today is Sadie's Prezuki class -- I made all the kids in her class little beanbags with violin fabric, so they can practice holding them on their violin shoulders.
Check out this awesome sidewalk artist. Go to this page and scroll down to the 3D illusions -- incredible!!! I just love the globe, and the sunken pond one.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was VERY FUNNY last night. We had a lot of good laughs. I think Chandler is doing a good job fitting into the Aaron Sorkin mold, but I keep expecting Josh to act more like Josh, and instead Chandler is acting more like Josh used to act. Confusing. But I like it. We also tried to watch Heroes. It is pretty sanctimonious and self-congratulatory but based on last night we're going to give it another week. I like the Japanese guy and the girls -- do not like any of the angsty American men at this point. I am intrigued by the whole "I pick up a comic book on the street and it's about my own experience" thing. That is cool.
Yesterday I gave Sadie's high chair and pack-and-play away to a friend whose daughter is pregnant. It was... a little sad!!! And then I came home to read an essay by my friend Jill, about her kids going away to college and the military and her house being empty. I cried like... a disproportionate amount, and then kept crying all evening. I kind of want that high chair back now!!! MAYBE SHE WOULD AGREE TO SIT IN IT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE MONTHS??? *weep*

Well, don't feel too bad. If you absolutely must have a high chair remember the one at the farm. We could bring it home.
So, did you look up how Amazing Race ended online or ask someone? Or do you need a mini-recap of the last few minutes? It was a pretty decent episode, I thought.
I'm really liking S60otSS so far.
And I liked Heroes - more than you did, from the sound of it. The only one I'm finding really annoying so far is the cheerleader. What's up with feeling all "poor me" about being pretty much indestructable? Pppfffttt. I'm geeky enough to totally love all the Star Trek and Marvel Comics references, so I'm definitely going to be giving this one a few more weeks, although I have to wonder if it'll draw enough of an audience to stay on the air. Since I like it, it'll probably get canceled in a snap.
Mothering is such a bittersweet thing, isn't it? If you love and enjoy them as much as they need you to, it is so terribly hard to finish the job and launch them. I've been through it a few times and still have a couple more times left.
For what it is worth, when you love them like that they do stay close emotionally even after they leave physically. You exchange the stages of their lives that you know you loved for unknown future stages that you hope you will love just as much...
I practically had an anxiety attack when I read you gave away baby equipment. I CAN NOT DO IT. CAN'T. I'm just going to keep saying I'm not sure if I'm done yet until my kids have grandkids and then I'll just keep it for them.
