I’m glad this week is over. It’s been a long one.

And, frankly, I have nothing cool to blog about, but figured that since it’s been a few days, I should probably post something.

So, here it is:

SOMETHING!
Cute, huh? Oh….well, one good piece of news that I haven’t mentioned — we got the loan to build our house! Yes! I can’t even tell you all how ecstatic I am that we’ll finally have a house to officially call OUR OWN. My husband will be working like crazy over the next few months, putting most of his time and energy into getting it done, and we’re hoping to be able to move in by early November. I can’t wait until we get to the stage where we can pick out cabinets and countertops and flooring and appliances…oh, my, I will actu

ally have a dishwasher! Just the thought of it makes me want to cry. No more dish pan hands! :)

Okay, here’s a good example of why my 7-year-old son is called “Science Boy”.

So, I pick Science Boy up from school this afternoon and ask him how his day was.

He says, “Good. We’re doing a science project.”

“Well, that’s cool,” I reply. “What is it on?”

He grins. “Meal worms!”

Me: “Um, eww.” 

Him: “Yeah, we each get to have two meal worms.

I named one of mine ‘Lime’ and the other one ‘Surprise.’”

Me: “Cool. I think.”

Him: “And after we’re done, we can bring them home and I can keep them as a pet!”

Me: gag “I think I’d rather have a puppy.”
