This List Makes Me Need and Aspirin. Whoops!

1. Georgia is more willing to do things for people who are...not me.

2. Rainer is surprising me everyday with all these new ideas. He is getting the idea of metaphor/similes and is always comparing things. We got him a new toy storage bin thing that sort of steps up and he said, "It's like stairs." Not crazy or complex...except, it is.

3. Georgia is busting out phrases left and right, but it's entirely UNPREDICATBLE. This morning it was, "Rainer! Come on!"

4. She is so bored on the days she doesn't have camp. She LOVES camp. This morning she was saying all the names of the kids in her group when I told her it was a camp day.

5. I canNOT believe this weekend is the 4th of July. We don't have any plans really (we never seem to have plans for most holidays being as how we're down here all by our lonesomes). That sounds pathetic, I know. I mean, we've made friends, but you know how holidays are--people do things with their families. We might go to the parade, might try the fireworks up the street for the first time with the kids, will probably spend a lot of time at the pool. I REALLY need to finish sorting the clothes in Georgia's room!

6. I like traveling to visit family, but it is SO stressful and expensive all this driving. The wear and tear on the car and our bodies and our psyches and purses!! Why does NYC have to be in the way of everyone we love??? I swear, it adds a bijillion hours to every trip and while the kids are much better at traveling these days, it is SO EXHAUSTING. Rainer did great in the car really, but, of course, once we get where we're going he gets stressed out and his sleeping and pooping and eating gets all crazy. Speaking of...he has become a holder. Meaning. He won't poop. He suddenly doesn't want to bathe, either.

7. These kids give me angina. The buggers.

8. Anyone going to the San Antonio conference in August? I am! And I am not driving. WOO!

9. Why are all the single family homes affordable now? You know, now that we already own a house we are upside down on?

10. Wait. This list is stressing me out.
