Catchin' Up

You Are A Chestnut Tree

You are a born diplomat with a well developed sense of justice.
And even though you're impressive and intimidating, you're also fun to be around.
You can be irritated easily, and you sometimes act superior.
Nevertheless, you are sensitive of others feelings and very loyal.
Sometimes you feel misunderstood and are fiercely close to those who know you best.
What's Your Celtic Horoscope?


It's been a busy, busy month already. I'm in talks with my boss to get a receptionist, but we need to increase our NOI first. The kiddos are getting ready to go back to school next week. DD seems to be excited about pre-K. And my boss seems to be understanding about the fact that I will have to give up three "lunch hours" (which really aren't since that's when I try to run errands so that I don't have to drag the kids around from store to store during the weekend) to get DD from school and bring her to daycare. DH will be getting her the other two days. At least it's only for the semester (about 4 and 1/2 months). Plus, I will not be able to stay late for work after this week from M-Th (as I have for pretty much every evening since my new boss started), as DH has evening classes as well. Hopefully DH will have a more flexible schedule next semester.

Younger DS has been talking up a storm. Tonight he told DD that she had "'nuff" Parmesan cheese on her spaghetti, which she didn't eat. Last night he told her to "go room" when she raised her voice at the table.

Oldest DS, DH and I had a friendly game of "sock" this evening. Mostly, this means that we take turns pelting each other with DH's rolled up socks--unless you're me and you completely miss and the socks end up behind the couch. Ava had a rough evening and was in bed, asleep. (Although she did have a nice afternoon as DH picked her up from daycare and took her to see Cars as an early "what a big girl you are for starting school" present.)

Someday I'll really be able to catch everything up...or does that really ever happen?
