A new record

My new goal is to see if I can successfully post in only 5 minutes!! It took 2 already to figure out my username and password. Hopefully the Firefox software will remember the password for me like it does on other sites.

I'm getting ready to do the Thursday nite shuffle. It's totally different than the Wed nite shuffle, which revolves around baths, homework, food, off to church, reverse and repeat....

The reason for the 5 min post is because H has to be at THS to meet the French club for their banquet downtown KC, where she prob won't eat ANYTHING that is served for which I paid big bucks. :) Abby is still at school eating a Happy Meal with her 1st grade reading buddy, needs to be picked up at 5:30. Kat and Ab both have practice at 6 in 2 different towns... yay! Em and I will grab another Happy Meal and wait to do the reverse of all this....Mark will appear somewhere, not looking for supper b/c I've trained him that "it's serve yourself" on nights like this.....CRAZY!!

I did pack some boxes today. Mark keeps saying, little by little and that's what I get accomplished--little.

We did meet with our local realtor. She says get with it and let's get it sold! I talked to our SL realtor. He's very nice and gave me permission to wake up in the night and change my mind at least 100 times.... WOW!! I like him already. We are meeting him this Sat to look at property. Maybe we really are doing this deed!

Time's up. If all goes well, clicking the post, I may make 5 min. AMAZING!!!

I'm BACK!!!!

Due to popular demand (requests from 4 of my 5 readers) I'm back on the blog world. I got caught in the Nov/Dec frenzy--plus some email snafus made it all too hard to log in especially when I never know my password etc...

Anyway I'm here in warm KC, MO. I've been up since 4:30 am. I woke up thinking about Jess's financial aid, FAFSA, that I need to finish. I tried the other day, but had missing PIN #s. (Am I the only one who sees a pattern here?) Anyway I got it done and she's good to go in debt some more in search of the greater goal of that BSN--go Jess!

I won't bore my small fan club with all the details of our life since last Nov. Most of you know the big news of our upcoming move to St Louis this summer. Our local realtor was here last night affirming our belief that we have too much junk and there is not enough Magic Eraser to get this house in a showable condition. ARGH!! Actually she was very nice and is hopeful we can get this house sold by July 1. We just have LOTS to do!!! (probably another reason my eyes were open at 4:30 am)

I can get a bunch done today. No big events in our world today. Hannah is running track for THS, but no meets this week. Em had her 1st T-ball practice last night. I heard her telling Mark that she figured out how "it works." She told him how she hit the ball and went to 1st base, then the next girl hit and Em went to 2nd base and "then you keep doing that until you get the end base." No one told them to do this, just expected them to know what to do and she figured it out. She's only been to a million games, but who thought to explain it to her. Glad she's bright, b/c we aren't . :)

Kat practices with her team tonight. Abby on Thurs nite, both are on the same teams as last year. Kat is trying out for catcher this year. She thinks she wants to catch, but did really well at first base last year. Abby is in "kid pitch" also called "walkathon" ball games.

Hannah's alarm keeps going off. Am going up to roust her out of bed. She needs $ for her French club banquet downtown KC. She has a new need for $20 everyday. :) We were proud of her efforts last week on the Relay for Life event. She was team captain and they raised over $1000. More funny stories on that later. Who knew it would snow in April and they'd be inside, but it turned out ok.

Glad to be back. I sent myself my password, so maybe I can blog again soon. :)
