just a few totally random thoughts . . .

• kids are out of school early tomorrow. who ever came up with this collaborative day thing? although it used to be they got out 45 minutes early EVERY wednesday … now they get out 3 hours early just ONE wednesday a month. so i guess i should be grateful. but 4 extra girls in the house in the middle of naptime … that never turns out good!
• have a new kid around this week. it’s a friend that i’ve known for a few years through soccer and softball … she’s bringing her son a couple of days a week. he’s almost 4 years old … so i was kind of nervous on monday. a 4 yr old boy … full of energy … that always give me wierd looks on the soccer field and doesn’t talk to me? but he was too cute. he talked to me all day. folded up some bibs and towels that ady threw all over. picked up his toys without me asking. and took a real interest in a scrapbook project i was putting some finishing touches on. lol! although i didn’t push the whole "naptime" on him since it was his first day … but we need our naptime!
• went to the doctors tonight for my knee. the knee that started bugging me over 3 weeks ago … right before the day i was supposed to take the girls to great america. lol! it’s actually not really my knee … it’s more the muscle behind my knee … the tendon. it hurts like heck … can’t bend it half the time. it’s swollen and there’s this big lump on the side of my knee. the doctor asked what i did for work … and then later said that the reason he asked is that it would be a problem if i was like bending and lifting heavy boxes a hundred times day. what the heck?!?! i bend and lift babies a hundred times a day … 187 times a day when haley is here. lol! i spend half my days getting down on the floor to play, pick up toys, change diapers, etc. although he told me what i knew he would tell me … it’s just a strained muscle or something. just rest it and take it easy (yeah, right), take ibuprofin (i live on that stuff), and let them know if it gets worst. and for that i paid $25!
• the doctor did get a good laugh from my nice tan lines though. i was wearing jean capris and couldn’t pull them over my knee … so i had to change and put that piece of paper over myself all tucked in. lol! i had already gotten dressed and was leaving when he commented about "that’s an interesting tan you have going". i live in capris and havn’t worn a pair of shorts in over 2 years. and one wouldn’t think i’m that tan … since after all i do have super dark, chocolate brown kids … so i probably look pretty light next to them. but i am actually pretty dark … at least the bottom part of my legs, my arms up until the t-shirt lines, and my v-neck chest. i swear … the top portion of my legs are a ghostly white! i had to explain it to him because he wasn’t quite understanding how i got that tan. lol! i guess that was rather embarassing to let someone see that. lol!
• also just wanted to appologize in advance for any spelling mistakes or weirdly worded thoughts on this here blog. lol! i get bugged by my family for my spelling … but i can’t be bothered by it. and lately … i seem to have a hard time getting my thoughts out. i start typing and have to backspace so much to make things sound right. the words aren’t getting from my brain to the computer quite the way they used too.

that’s all i got for tonight! how was that for random?!?! lol!
