Such the Slacker

I have been working so many hours lately that I hardly even check the blog. Tonight I'm tired and sitting in front of the warm fireplace with the laptop trying to get caught up on everyone's lives. Unlike Melissa, I love warmth. Poor us in San Diego, it's raining tonight. Boohoo. Hahaha.

To catch you up on our lives, here's what's been going on:

• First & foremost, Brien & Jody got married on Jan 25th. We're so happy for them. We really love Jody and are looking forward to getting to know her even better.
• Jason got his driver's permit a few weeks ago. After letting him drive home from school one day, I decided it would be best if his dad took him out for awhile. The following Saturday David spent a few hours with him driving. David still needs to spend more time with him before I can handle the stress of another teen driver.
• Troy got his driver's license on Tuesday. He was so happy and only missed one point. He did such a great job, only to get home and realize his restriction for bad grades means he's not driving on his own yet. Poor kiddo. Sometimes being a parent really sucks!!
• Eric is still Eric. He's such a crack up. He still bugs me about wanting to be an actor or do voice overs. That's always been his dream. His pediatrician has always said that someday down the road he'll turn on the tv and see Eric and say, "I knew that guy"
• David has been working as usual, thank goodness! He is out now doing splits with the elders. He's enjoying being the YM Varsity Leader. He loves the boys (especially because 2 are his!) and he loves high adventure type activities.
• Me, I'm in front of the computer all the time, just not blogging. I have been asked to take on more work from my office, and it's taking all my extra time, and then some. I think I need a housekeeper, but my husband disagrees. He thinks that a stay-at-home mom shouldn't have a housekeeper!! What's up with that?? Also, I've been asking my friend to help me with redecorating. I know, some of you will be shocked, (Heather) but we've been painting my walls. No, not white! So far we've done the living room and hallway. It's gray, but it looks blue. Next will be the family room (office) and then we'll have to see. We have to do something with Troy & Eric's room for sure. I get chest pains even walking by the door! I'll tackle the kitchen and dining room, too, but that'll take a lot more time.

I hope you're not all bored to death. I'm sure nobody cares about any of this, but there ya go.
