Things You Should Know (or are going to, like it or not):

My kids call june bugs junior bugs.

Laundry may be taking over my house (I ran out of detergent last week, and it was downhill from there), but the floor is vacuumed!

My hair needs something, but probably won't get it.

There is a mosquito living in the explorer. Very not fair. I have three new bites, and I'm on the look out for stray spiders. Heh, heh, heh.

In Abbie's world, guinea pigs say, "Oink".

Josh got an A in Java II. No idea about the other one, yet, but we got him 75/80 on his paper.

I am secretly furious that Josh allowed his mother to send Abbie home with Bratz dolls. The whole world knows I don't approve of them, and have been calling them "prosti-tots" for 6 years at least. But he's a Guy. Guys don't notice their kids' toys much.

Today, I will be giving all my money to the dentist, as Grant has an appointment after lunch today.

Grant is sailing away to have an adventure on an island today. There is a forest there, in case you want to hunt. Not sure he has grasped what occurs during hunting, but why burst his little 4-year-old bubble?

There is a cookie called Le Petit Ecolier (and here I am referring to the milk chocolate or the hazel nut) that might be the best store bought cookie in the history of the universe. Right now I have three of them in my kitchen, and I'm pretending that it's not taking my enitre will power to not go in there and scarf them up.

Abbie has finally accepted the loss of her favorite accessory - a Spiderman band-aid. She took the news hard, at first, but seems to have recovered.

When you're late, everything conspires against you. Carseats get tangled, there's magically NO GAS, gas cap won't come off, there are crazy, slow drivers going 10 mph below the speed limit in both lanes, you hit every light, your son falls down the second you get him where he's going and you have to search through the grass to find his lost toys...and there are random mosquitos in your mode of transportation.

I need to clean the bathrooms and shower. Or maybe I'll shower first and then clean them.

Rocky road ice cream is yummy. Otherwise, I'm very lukewarm about ice cream, even in the summertime.

It's Friday! Weee-hoooo!
