Normal?

So we've been trying to move on/ move ahead with life for the past two years. It gets frustrating. I think I'm finally to the point where I can admit defeat. Life will never be what I picture, because apparently what is in store for us is much better than what I can imagine. At least that's what I'm now telling myself.

If this is what our normal life is going to be, I better start accepting it and stop resenting it. Wait, am I being cryptic again? Some things I'm not allowed to talk about, and so that's what I'm talking about here. LOL! Get it? Sorry I can't be more specific.

I registered Samantha for Kindergarten a few weeks ago. That was so weird for me. I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem time to send her yet. The real question is whether or not we will send Phoebe the year after Samantha. I don't want to be THAT parent who sends their kid to school just to get them out of the house, regardless of whether or not they are ready emotionally or physically for school. Argh. I guess I'll still have a year to make the decision. I must admit, it's a hard one. And I can't help but feel pressure from the other kids around us that are Phoebe's age. The truth of the matter is that she barely makes the deadline; as in by a week. And she is so scatterbrained and hyper, I just don't know how she will be ready to go. Maybe she would benefit having that extra year to mature and focus.

We are trying to decide where we can find some extra room in our small house to fit a crib. I took a huge van load to the DI this weekend. I was going to have a garage sale, but we really need the room and hey, I was on a cleaning and organizing mission. it had to go ASAP. Besides, all growing up my dad would always say "donating to the DI will give us extra blessings" so I'm counting on that.

I think I'm going to have to break down and go through my beloved prop closet and get rid of some of that stuff and some of my totally rad furniture too. It makes me sad. Anyone want a totally cool teal chair? It's one of those wing back chairs. It needs to be re-sprung. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but as a photo prop, it didn't really matter if it was saggy or not. It is such a cute chair!

Ah, so much to do. If you want to come help, feel free. You may leave with something you didn't know you wanted. :)

p.s. We've been sick-free now for two weeks! Yay! *knock on wood
