Random Monday Musings

1. Everybody in my house has a cold. But mine has to be the worst. My nostrils can't decide which one wants to be clogged. Unless I am going for a walk, then both of them gush like I turned on a water spigot. I also have this fabulously sexy voice. It is gravely and barley comes out unless I push it. Oh, and the piece de resistance is the earth shattering headache I feel whenever I cough. I've taken to holding my temples when I cough to make sure no brain matter escapes. Yummy!

2. The adoption is trucking right along. David and I have had all our medical tests done and we don't have HIV, tuberculosis or syphilis. Yay us!

3. We are collecting items for a yard sale to help raise funds for the baby. I am just astounded at how generous everyone has been. The entire left side of my garage is completely full and I haven't even gone through my own house yet. We are still collecting items so if you'd like to donate your unwanted things, David and I will be happy to come pick it up.

4. The kids' play is finished! And the choir of angels sang, "Hallelujah"!!! It was so much fun but there is nothing like seeing that last curtain call. Both of my kids performed magnificently. It was like both of them came alive once the audience filled the seats. I have no idea where they got their talent. Their Dad and I are such math/science nerds that there must have been some rogue recessive gene that got a hold of both 'em.

5. David's audit finished up last Thursday and that second choir of angels sang, "Hallelujah". I realized I hadn't REALLY talked to him in a week. I was jabbering on about something this weekend and he had no idea what I was talking about b/c, of course, we hadn't talked. Oh well, everything is back to normal now. Wait, scratch that. He just emailed and said he'd be staying at work through dinner. Dangit!

6. Much to my chagrin we put the fall decor out this weekend. I am a total buzz kill. I used to love putting all the pumpkins and scare-a-crows out all over the house. Now I hate it. It is a total pain in the butt to pull everything out of storage, dust if off, put it up and then eventually have to take all the crap back down again. Bah Humbug! Oh, and don't even get me started on Christmas decorations. I'll tell you this, they come down the day after Christmas! I just get so sick of having it all over my house and in the way that Dec. 26 is the cut off date for all things festive!

I think I may have issues...
