List of goings on

• I switched to the 10k instead of the half.  I will do a half at some point, but I'm not going to be ready.  I haven't been keeping up with running very well.  Kids sleeping issues, my sleeping issues, etc.  But I'll keep pushing forward.  
• I have been doing A LOT of yard work.  It's starting to look acceptable.  I've been weeding, and mowing, clipping.  Aaron planted my orange tree.  
• Ants have been coming in the past couple days.  That's been a pain.  But so far they've been manageable.  
• The weather has been really nice lately.  (Thus all the yard work).  Being outside feels nice.
• Depression is kicking my butt a bit.  But I can't change medicine til I wean Bronwyn.  Maybe next weekend.  

I've been sitting with my computer open for an hour.  I can't think of anything else to say at the moment.

Another big gap

Gonna try to do a quick catch up.

We had Bertram's birthday.  I can't believe he's 5!  He's registered for kindergarten starting in mid-August.  I really wish we had half-day kindergarten, we did, 30 years ago, when I was in kindergarten.  The school is about a mile away.  So hopefully we'll walk most days.  He's mentioned a couple times wanting to do "school at home".  I'm not opposed to it, as I've told him, but he needs to listen to me when I tell him it's time to work, which he generally doesn't want to do.  But we'll see how school goes first. 

Bronwyn is delightful and hilarious, and challenging.  She only wants mommy, all the time.  And she has started the "melt to the floor and throw your head back" toddler phase.  She is adding more words all the time, and she is very curious.  3/4 of her canines came in in the last month.  I still haven't gotten her a haircut, her bangs are down to her mouth. She is getting a little more patient about me doing her hair.  If she would sit still a bit longer, I could do some cute things.  Maybe as she gets older.

My mom was here for Bertram's birthday.   We didn't get to do a lot of what we wanted to.  We (kids, me, Aaron) were sick for part of it.  My stepdad was hospitalized while my mom was here, so she went home a few days early.  He's doing a little better, but he's still having issues. (Fluid around his heart (cause unknown), lower pulse ox, shortness of breath etc).

Now, Bronwyn is awake, so I'll have to get back at some point in the future.
