7 Quick Takes: August 27, 2010 (Vol. 50)

This week, Molly started in the religious education program at our parish, since she’s in kindergarten now.  She was so excited, especially since she is in class with her two BFFs.

Yes, my five year old does call her best girlfriends her “BFFs.”

Because I don’t spend enough time online (or something like that) between this blog, The Homeschool Classroom, and Catholic Mothers Online, on top of twitter and Facebook, and then all of the random clicking that seems to lead me in a maze around the only world, I have been pretty seriously considering starting another blog.

Yeah, I know.

Still, I’ve been thinking about it.  Enough to have bought a domain name.

I officially love the Mozilla Firefox add on “Easy Comment.” I can’t remember where I first read about it.  Maybe it was Oh Amanda.  (If not, you can go check out her blog anyway, okay?)

Perhaps I’ll be writing on that fourth blog with all the time I now save not having to fill out all of the name/blog/email fields when leaving comments. They now fill in with the click of a button.

Love it!

Why is it that as a 33 year old woman, I have had more pimples in the last few years than I did throughout all of my teen years?  There is just something so wrong about it.  I am, however, getting a lot of sympathy from my 11 year old who is just starting to get pimples from time to time.

Know what makes an 11 year old boy with a lot of sensory issues crazy?  Pimples.  (Poor kiddo!)

I was sitting on the porch on Thursday, staring out at our vegetable garden.  I feel like I have been a gardening flunkie this year.  We have just left it alone so much.  I have overgrown areas, some dead plants, things that need to be picked that haven’t been, and lots of weeds popping up.  It kind of makes me want to just go out and pull everything out.

But, you know what?  On my overgrown basil plant, we have lots of butterfly visitors.  It seems like they love the flowers on the basil plant.  So, I may have weeds, but I also have butterflies. I guess life is a lot like that, huh?

I got to number six on this list, and I hit a road block.  I have stared at number six for about 30 minutes.

Number six, you’re done now.

I keep thinking that I would love to have a camper of some sort, and the kids seem pretty keen on the idea too.  Every time I really think it’s a great idea though, we have a conversation like this:

Molly: We could go camping in Florida!

Jack: Yeah!  That would be so cool!

Me: You know where would be really cool to go camping?  Wisconsin!

Molly (with a voice that says Mom doesn’t know anything): You can’t really go camping in Wisconsin.

Jack: Yeah, there are things like bats and ticks in Wisconsin.

It’s conversations like that that make me think we might be destined to be hotel people forever.
