I just have to blog this: Kids are into Star Wars today. So we have some 1/2" dowels that the kids have been pretending are light sabers. Today, they decided to paint them, so we have light sabers tearing up the living room and paint dripping from everything [editors prerogative to exaggerate]. Then dd comes to me with her blanket - "Tie this mom, I'm Darf Vader!" So I find a way to clip it gently around her. Later, she comes to me with a dixie cup and says, "Mom, make me a pig nose so I can be Pig Vader!" As I live an breathe, my daughter is in the living room, watching star wars, wearing her blanket and a dixie cup/pipe cleaner/shaprie augmented pig nose! LOL! LOL! LOL! This is especially funny because she has a cold and sounds like Elmer Fudd. Oink oink. Oh no . . . Now she's Pig Solo. I am not going to get any work done today, I can tell. =~D
I have super momma news that I am going to cross post to both of my blogs: Ian is sleeping in six and seven hour intervals! Wahooo! Neither of the other two kids did that until they were much older. What a welcome break. I swear he's bigger every time he wakes up! My little chubba bubba. He took a nap yesterday from 2 until 7:30, went back to bed at 9:30, slept until 2:30, waking only for a feeding and back to sleep until . . . well, he's still sleeping and it is 9 am! Yes, I have checked to see if he is breathing - several times, in fact!
All this baby sleeping enabled me to get caught up on my blog list - and noticed that Sandra added me to her blog list. Kewl! Me too, Sandra! I have been lazy and surfing to your blog and some others via Jenn's Journal and /or Random Rantings! I guess I'd better update my own reads list, eh? I need to redo this blog in a few weeks and I'll do it then, I suppose. (Thanks for the suggestions re: page loading!)
I also have been loving Kitty's Art Reviews - I especially love Claire Robinson and Kerri Smith. I rec'd as graphic payment Kerri's Story in a Box: The Princess and the Pea- VERY cute! "I had it on my wishlist for Kaitlin," I told myself, but guess what?! I think I like it more! LOL.

Thanks for your support, Rose and Jenn! I have been a really boring blogger lately, but decided instead of whining about not feeling so great or going without sleep etc \;-P that I'll just be quiet!
I have been a little obsesso about the homeschool site and to that end, anyone notice if the pages seemed slow to load? I'll gladly pay someone with 28.8 to check out my page loading speeds! Front page says it takes 93 seconds at 28.8 to download the page. Doesn't that seem a bit slow? Here I thought simplifying the graphics would help, but it increased by 50 seconds, according to FP! Bummer. Of course, I can't tell all of this because I have DSL and it is pretty quick. I am so spoiled. It got so hot today that I didn't even sit at the computer and we stayed home from church! It has been over 100 degrees since last Sunday! I haven't been out of the house since , , , ok I'm whining again. See what I mean? Big Lucy WAHHHH! Oh that feels better now. Thanks. I needed that.
