I think my head might explode. Seriously. Kid germs are the worst to pick up. Max has his first ear infections and is snotting like a fiend. Of course since he clings to me like I'm part of his body, I have his sickness too.
I know the blogging has sucked lately. I've been so busy at work fixing computers that I don't have a chance to play on the puter. We've had several really busy weekends too. We had Tree and Jason down a few weeks back and it was like old times. It must happen more. There's been book club, supper club, pampered chef, mean mommies at Beck's house and just lots of good stuff. This has been a lifesaver since work is overwhelming right now because of school starting back up. I know by October I'll have a grip on things, but right now it's kicking my butt and I can't see my way out of all of this WORK. Weekends are key for survival. I also think that this cold/death thing I have might be my body's way of saying "chill out, sistah".
Ms. Gayle decided a few weeks ago to stop playing nannie mcphee so Max is going to the hippydothouse now. He loves it there so much that Tess and Bella are going to follow him. They daycare thing was nice but turning into a really big expense. It's not just that. Tess was also unhappy. I know she's a turd sometimes but she isn't a really bad kid and everyday she'd come home telling me she was in time out, had a bad day, didn't get a sticker or something. I like for my kids to have whippings, not time outs. I hope hippy can accomadate this. Otherwise I'll have to do it at my house and then send her over. Seriously though, I think it's going to be a good change for her and Bella. I just hope suzie-q doesn't fire us.
I was thinking about the summer. We had a really uneventful (in a good way) time with our big kids. Jake worked a lot, Trevor hung out with his friends a lot, Kendall swam like a fish. I hope the school year is peaceful too. Jake's got 1 more year. I'm determined to see him through it.

This weekend is Labor Day. I'm not sure if we're going to the river or not. Ellis, Megan and the girls are going to be there. I really like spending time with them but we'll have to see how everyone feels. Family is great, but we've proven in the past that we can't all be together for too long or things get wiggy. I would like to spend more time at the river house though. We'd even considered making Tessie's birthday party into a weekend thing at the river but Kayla, Bella and Phillip aren't with the mean mommys that weekend and it'd most likely end up being a grownup party labeled as "tess turns 3". Curses. Maybe we can do it the week before. Maybe we'll hang up those grand plans and just do something at mcdonalds. Kids really don't care, do they? Maybe we could have her birthday party next weekend when Dan's folks are here. SHEW. My head hurts now. I'm going to watch tivo.

I'm doing 0 for labor day. How lame am I.
OR AM I POSSIBLY MUCH COOLER THAN I PREVIOUSLY IMAGINED AND RATHER THAN ENJOYING TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, SEEKING A NEW SOLACE, FINDING MYSELF NAPPING SERENELY ON A COUCH OF COMFORT AND LUXURY WHILST MY OTHER COMRADES QUESTION THEIR OWN EXISTENCE AS THEY PICNIC AND ENJOY TIMES OF YORE AT LAKES OF EQUAL YORE.
gq is banging on my door. srsly
