Random Thoughts

When our daycare called to tell me Jacksen was sick last week my first thought was "Great. I wonder which kid will be next." I got my answer today when our daycare called to tell me Kellan was sick. Specifically, dear Arlene informed me that Kellan threw up on her couch...and then all over her bathroom wall. I'm wondering how he managed to throw up all over the wall when he was standing right over the toilet...but I'm not curious enough to ask him a bunch of questions about it. I have a weak stomach so it's not a good idea for me to talk alot about...that topic. Anyway, the interesting thing about this is Kellan has no fever (Jacksen had a fever off and on for a couple days) and is playing and eating normally. He's very excited to go to work with Marc tomorrow. Sigh....

Last week I took Megan to the orthodontist. She was referred by our dentist who noticed that one of her adult front teeth wasn't coming in and it didn't appear she had enough room for all of her adult teeth. The orthodontist did seem concerned about these issues and informed me that he would be putting together a plan for getting the front tooth down and addressing the spacing issues. Wouldn't you know....in the last five days her front tooth has come in! Isn't that wierd?!

Jacksen has decided that he would rather read to me instead of listening to me read to him before bed. Even though it's kind of exasperating because it takes three times longer to get through a book (and I'm not at my most patient at that hour), I have to admit he is really cute and funny! In fact, being so cute is pretty much his saving grace these days...boy is he ornery a lot of the time!

I have this candy jar on my desk...my original idea was to provide a little sweet for those who are thoughtful enough to enter my office. However, I find that I am eating it all myself. I guess I should buy stuff I don't like to eat....but I can't really think of any sweet I don't like to eat. Hmmmm....what to do?

Marc and Kellan are out looking at a used car right now. Marc has a 3/4 ton truck (4-door), but it uses a lot of gas so he wants to get a little car to drive around. He actually did this a couple years ago, but he ended up with a beater...the drivers side door wouldn't close and the car wouldn't accelerate over 45 mph. Let's just say I never drove it...not even once. Amazingly, Marc sold the car for pretty close to what he paid for it. Well, I'm wondering what we're going to end up with this time...I'm a little nervous...

Oh, I just realized that American Idol is on, which means I need to quit mulling all of my random thoughts. (Believe me, I have a million random thoughts everyday all day long!) I really like Crystal and for awhile I hoped she would win, but now I'm a kinda tired of the Janis Joplin thing. I think I like Casey. It's not because he's hot...I'm really not impressed by men with long hair...I just really like his music.
