Can you believe it’s been almost a week since I last wrote here. My brain has been jello and putting together actually sentances has been far too daunting for me to try. I’ve got a billion emails to reply to, I swear i’m not ignoring you. I had planned last night to get some stuff done but the laptop had other plans and kept shutting down every 5 minutes. It’s running now, but the fan is making a growling noise and the battery is dying. I think it’s time to take the poor baby in somewhere for a check up. So let me be quick and give a few random updates to read over.

Random Pregnancy Symptom:

In what I hope will not be a sign of the future, I’ve got my days and nights mixed up. I’m utterly exhausted all day, dragging myself through and trying not to pass out every time I sit down. Then as soon as I have the boys in bed and asleep I’m wide awake, tossing and turning in bed until 2 or 3 in the morning. Which only adds to my exhaustion the next day.

Random Dumb Comment:

I had a not so pleasant encounter with a relative not to be named over sending Evan to school. When I finally said I didn’t want to talk about it anymore she leaned down to Evan, as serious as could be and said

“Well that’s a shame that you won’t be able to get scholarships for college.”

Yeah I know! That whole being 4 things totally gets in the way of our college plans. I mean I try to discourage it but you know how kids can be.

Random Kidism:

Last night the boys stripped their beds, wrapped their sheets around their shoulders and ran through the house pretending to fly for almost a solid hour. It gave me a chance to watch the DNC on CNN uninterupted and just hilarious. I wish my camera was fixed so I could have recorded that.

Random Good Thoughts:

Michael did a couple phone interviews with a company in Portland, Oregon. He’s waiting to set up a face to face and fly out there, but the man he interviewed with hasn’t been able to set one up yet. Send some good thoughts that this goes through. I’m actually excited to look at moving services and deal with packing.

Random Heartache:

My uncle Jerry, the man who was the biggest part of my childhood, is having heart failure. His lungs are filling with water and his heart isn’t pumping as it should. The lower oxygen levels plus his already advancing Alzheimers means that he’s frequently delusional. I went to visit him Sunday evening and couldn’t believe he was the same man I knew. He was the biggest liberal, hippie, anti-establishment, draft dodger I ever knew. To hear him talk now he’s a Republican/conservative defender. Lots of things were said that I would have never imagined coming out of his mouth.
