Don't you hate waiting? I mean when you know you have to do something but you can't do it until a certain date. I feel like I'm in limbo or something. I can't really do anything here because I'm moving in two weeks, but I can't do anything there until I get there in two weeks so all I do are humdrum chores and wait! Laundry, check. Feed the dogs, check. Dishes, check. I mean everyday it's the same old same old. I'll be glad to have something different to do. . . in two weeks!

I am so proud of my boys. They both write. Like stories, character guides, the whole nine yards. Lj has always written. I remember when he was a tiny little thing, I'd be working on my laptop and he'd come up beside me and tell me to write (type) what he said and he'd tell me a story. He was so sweet. And today Ely was sitting at the computer when I walked by and I read in big bold letters "Chapter One: How it all Happened." :-) Isn't that the coolest? My two authors.

Of course that's today. Two days ago I was in the back room and I heard Lj and Ely "playing." They were holding court and Lj was a lawyer arguing his case against Ely to some imaginary judge. It was awesome. Lj can debate. He needs to be on a debate team. Maybe he'll do that if they have one at the school he will be attending in MN next year.

Ely says he's going to be an Optometrist. That'll work, too. Pretty steep ambition for an 11-year-old. :-) Uh Oh. Sounds like their playing has turned into yelling today. I think my presence is required. Until next time...hey, maybe next time I'll be in MN. Gosh, now the dog's barking. What next? Don't answer that! TTFN CL
