Okay, okay...so I'm not really good about finding time to sit and do this. I am going to try harder to post at least once a week. Let's see... I suppose I should try to give a brief update of what has gone on since my last post. Here it is in a nutshell:
Went to dunes for Thanksgiving - fun; Enjoyed Christmas and time off from work; Went back to dunes for New Years; Fell off quad and injured leg; Took lots of crap for falling off quad and injuring leg; Leg better now; Went to company party; Drank too much at company party; Felt stupid for drinking too much at company party until I heard everyone else's "I feel stupid for drinking too much at the party" stories (all much worse than my own); Feeling bad as lots of my friends are getting laid off from their jobs; Thankful to have my job still, especially with a new reporting structure being put into place- wahoo!; Found a bunch of stuff in my attic that belongs to the former owners - hoping to hit antiques road show with something good (haven't sorted through it all yet); Got on Facebook; Got kinda creeped out by how many people from my past crawled out of the wood work and found me within weeks of being on Facebook; Bubba's teacher retired so we had to adjust to a new one - yikes!; Still working through transition to new teacher - oh my god, is she YOUNG (maybe 25?); Na-na developed a potty mouth; Na-na got soap in the mouth twice for potty talk (sometimes the old ways work best); Na-na's mouth seems cleaner now; Both kids are trying out a new technique for dealing with Mommy - blatant defiance; Mommy not gonna put up with this new defiance baloney - maybe I'll go on strike; I started a new class 2 weeks ago - 7th of 9 need for my PM cert; Going to class stinks, but feeling like this class might actually teach me something useful (not much gained from classes 1-6); Haven't been able to work out in months - due to holidays and injuries; Feeling fat - maybe "the brain" is right "cookies are from the devil"; Lots of pregnant ladies and babies around me...kinda makes me want one, but I know better; I'm sure there was more, but my brain is drawing a blank now.
As for today, the morning got off to a rocky start. Bubba got in trouble for rough-housing with Na-na and pulled the blatant defiance act. He said he was the boss, so I decided to turn the tables on him. I let him be me and I began acting like him... asking a million questions, pestering him mercilessly and jumping/climbing all over the house and him. It only took about 5 minutes for him to get it. He apologized to me for 20 minutes and said (in not these words) that the bosses' job sucks and I could have it back. Maybe, god help me, we might have had an epiphany! One can hope. I just hope it lasts at least through tonight.
Not much else gone on yet today - to early. I think I might go treasure hunting through my attic today. Either that or I will go looking for a treadmill (gonna try to get a used one on craigslist). Probably should do the treadmill thing first - we'll see. So there, I finally got my second post finished. See you again in 2 months :)

I love that I'm "the brain" :) you know exactly what makes me happy. Being the brain... and cookies too. I made up for the cookie rejection with mimosas, beer, and red wine this weekend. Damnit. Love your blog- you must be a writer ;)
