Terrific Tuesday
Good morning all.
I am currently sitting here waiting for my new best friend the appliance repair man, to come over. I'm so excited to see him. -note sarcasm-
I can't find my broom. That's one of those odd comments I catch myself saying every once in a while.
--Don't wrap spaghetti around the dinosaurs neck.--
--Leaving the house naked is not okay.--
--Has anyone seen the broom?--
Who loses a broom!?
Evidently me.
I also got a call from Albowin's school today (already), so the Irish Twins have been attempting to walk to school for a few days now. The bus driver has to pick them up on the side of the road. ::shakes head::
Let me just lay out why this scenario doesn't work.
1) Our house is on the way to school. They would have to go past me to get there. So if they are afraid they are missing the bus, their logic is sadly flawed.
2) The two go to different schools. In our town K-1 go to one school and 2-5 go to another. The school they were headed to was hers.
3) If the goal is to make it to her school before the bus (so he can get on the bus there) they have a lot of faith in those little legs of theirs. It's 1/2 a mile away.
So the school called to tell me that they'd been doing this. Love it when they tell you those sorts of things.
I've decided that Danskin tennis-shoes are the most worthless purchase I have ever made. Vicbowin is on her second pair since the beginning of the school year and they are about to give up the ghost. I'm not buying another pair. I'll make her wear an extra pair of her brothers first. This is just getting to expensive.
What do you think my theme for December should be?
If your spouse told you of an intern opportunity in Alaska how would you feel about moving there for 4 months?
What is your favorite color? (mines green)
Have a good day everyone.

AK for 4 months:
Well, that would depend on if the intent was to settle in Alaska or if the experience would be given any credence from employers outside of Alaska. Then it would be a matter of "can we afford to uproot for four months". Lee harassed me our first winter here by telling me the temperature daily in Alaska (because it was warmer than SD!!) I suppose it would also concern me which four months were the months in question if I had school-aged children. I'm not the type to handle my kids alone, but lots of the ladies in SD lose the husbands for 3-5 months at a time for various internships etc for their husband's education so some people find that to be the easier solution. *sigh* I'm always up for an adventure though, so I'd probably do it :)
My favorite color is also green (especially hunter green and forest green)
Yes! None of that yellow green puke looking stuff. Strictly into the rich vibrant greens with deep blues and blacks mixed in.
Hmm, a monthly theme not involving children. That would be a good writing exercise. Of course that wouldn't be a daily occurance, but some days. I'll have to think about that.
The internship would be this summer... if he could find one. We have friends up there and we LOVE Alaska in the Summer. It's absolutely magnificent. The type of summer that convinces you to move to the area. In fact most of the people we met were implants who'd come to visit and never left. lol.
Green!!! All the way! That's one reason I am not fond of PHX.
We'll have to wait and see.
And as an interesting side note... there is a bit of a Russian influence in Alaska. I guess it makes sense since their so close to Russia, but you never really think of it.
