Hi Sara

Mail me some of your motivation!  I just want to wrinkle up my nose like Samantha on Bewitched and be done! 

 

Poor Timmy.  Maybe he is just puking longer because babies puke more naturally than we do.  Hopefully that is it.

 

I don't watch the superbowl either and we don't have a party but Scott was really into it and bummed when the Steelers won.  The Steelers are a local team so there will be lots of people happy here today.  Scott wanted just about anyone BUT them to win!  The Ravens, which is Scott's team since we are from Baltimore, almost made it to the Superbowl but lost against the Steelers two weeks ago.  He was pretty unhappy that night!  I bet at least three of my Scouts say "The Steelers won the Superbowl" for sharing tonight.  As though it's something they did but I know of at least three who live for football which I think is kind of sad for an 8yo.  I mean, loving football is not sad but having nothing else to share other than that their team won is sad.

 

My house isn't horrible but it's pretty dirty.  Especially dusty.  We had to clean up for Braeden's little birthday thing but since it was just two boys and no parents I didn't dust.  We did clean bathrooms and pick up a lot just to make sure he wouldn't be embarrassed by anything.  But I figured 11yo boys wouldn't notice dust!

 

I have Chane home today.  Sigh...  I doubt he's really sick but after letting Braeden stay home for over a week how can I say no to him?  I told him absolutely no video or computer games and am going to push him to go in late.  I need to go to York to return the temp tags on our new car which we picked up Saturday and also pay $250 towards the Jamboree Braeden is going to.  It's going to cost us $1100 - ack!  Not to mention associated expenses -that's just the entrance fee.  But it's not just the Jamboree which only comes around every 4 years but also the 100th anniversary of Scouting so it will be a very big deal and we don't want him to miss it.  Scott will be going as a staff member I think - they don't let parents go along unless they are staff.  He still has to apply for a job on staff - I'm pretty sure he hasn't done that yet.  It's limited to only a very small number of Scouts per geographic area so he got Braeden signed up in September even though it's not until summer of 2010.  He's not even a Boy Scout yet so when it rolls around he'll be one of the youngest there - he will officially be a Boy Scout in February.

 

I'm babbling.  So I need to run a big errand with a not very sick kid - hopefully he'll go on to school.

 

I also need to refresh what's in the washer (already started that, rewashing with vinegar), soak and wash whites since Scott has no socks, and find the Toys R Us receipt which I have no idea where to look.  The dreaded job of the day.  Oh yeah and prepare for my den meeting including shopping for it. 

 

Yesterday was gorgeous here but it's back to freezing cold today.  I wish we'd had time and energy to finish the Christmas stuff outside and vacuum out the van - if I have to vacuum it in this weather it will really suck!

 

Back with a list.
