At least he doesn't have a credit card yet . . .

I found a piece of paper with a 1-800 number written in my 7-year old's handwriting.

"What is this for?" I asked.

"That's because it's not available in stores," he started.

"No, I mean what THING is it for?"

"Oh, the pancake puff maker. But I am missing one of the numbers, so I have to watch and try to finish it."

I think we need to go back to DVDs and stop watching commercial television. In the long run, it would probably be cheaper.

Now CC is explaining to me that if I need to brush the back of my back teeth, I need a Reach toothbrush. We pulled out the DVDs today.

I saw the Pancake Puff maker at Target, so I went ahead and bought it. DH told me "thanks" when B woke him up early Monday morning to make pancakes (for the third day in a row).

They ended up filling the little puffs with butterscotch and chocolate pudding and they were quite good.

I've been gnomed!!!

There I was, innocently putting away my china and Christmas dishes in the dining room buffet, when I saw it -- an Aggie gnome. He has joined his new friends Bob, Not-Bob, and Baby Bob (the concrete geese) in the circle under the tree in the front yard. The movers arranged those, BTW. But what do you name an Aggie gnome?

Worry beads

Sometimes I think I need a set of worry beads just to have a focus for my obsessions. Everything is going smoothly with the new house, so of course I am convinced that there is something that I need to be doing, to be more active on, to be obsessed with. Letting things happen and especially letting other people be in control of any part of my life just doesn't come naturally to me. At this point, I'm just trying to see what God wants me to learn. It's a slow process and it seems that I need many repetitions of my lessons. We have a signed sales contract on the house. The inspector came yesterday and everything is structually sound. Some minor things that my dh wants to take care of himself. Yeah! Relocation package came through, too, so I need to pick a mover. Now there will be an opportunity for growth for me. I am very excited about not having to do the packing. I know, however, that when the day comes, I will worry obsessively about whether or not they will do a good job...

What do you do without the children?

The kids are at G'ma & G'pa's for a week and I am still trying to adjust. It's been weird not having to be home at a certain time, not worrying about meals, and just doing whatever I want. Unfortunately, what I want seems to be very random. When they were littler, sending them off for a week meant I got to take a bath, go grocery shopping, and read a book. Now, they are pretty good with that kind of stuff, so I really have to concentrate and ask myself what I don't do because it's too hard with the kids. So, the first day I spent 3 hours in the bookstore just browsing and wandering. I only wandered into the children's section once, caught myself, and skedaddled out of there. Today I'm going shopping for a bathing suit -- with no one playing hide and seek under the clothes racks. I also realized this was a good time to seal the grout in our new tile floors -- easy to avoid foot traffic while the sealer dries. Yesterday I did the laundry room as a test...
