seriously...

• four gray hairs today...or was it six? I lost count. And of course I pulled them right out. Seriously!
  
• only two children? because sometimes (like all the time) it feels like there are twelve of them--maybe a few hiding in the closets, some under the beds, a couple hiding behind the bathroom door, and a bunch sneaking around behind the couch. They make enough messes for twelve! Seriously!
• requested a book from the library months ago...discovered it was being released on September 1st...figured I would be #3,426 on the list...got a call from the library yesterday that it was waiting for me...picked it up today...first person to check out this book...don't think I could love my public library any more. Seriously!
• might just snap if I discover one of the children have turned of the air conditioning one more time. Sometimes I think I am having hot flashes and then find out they have been at it again. Seriously!
• Sarah is ready to start decorating for Christmas. She asked me where the tree was and has been getting out socks and filling them with "gifts"--meaning any random junk that she can find around the house. Seriously...
• Sarah is dying to have a snuggie. You know, the one that they do infomercials about. She's so keen to have one that she sent a letter to her Uncle Eric (the only other person I know with a love for all things snuggie besides Sarah) and demanded that he send her one. A snuggie. From what I hear, one might be in the works. She is going to think it is Christmas when that gem arrives. Seriously.
