- Our downstairs bathroom is being remodeled. Although I am looking forward to the end result, the time in passing has been crazy, as we are down one shower during the bedtime/bathtime rush! There is a lot of pounding on the door, with shouts of “Hurry up! I need to shower, too!!” going on around here.
- My Saturdays are so busy that I almost don’t enjoy them. Five soccer games in one day. I think I’ve got soccer burn-out.
- Tomorrow night will be my first night teaching our Catholic faith to a bunch of 6th graders. Yes, I volunteered to teach this year. Should be interesting, trying to squeeze that into my schedule. Lucky for me it’s only two Mondays a month. Alex will be in my class, and I am looking forward to this time with him.
- Tomorrow night will be my son Tony’s first night teaching our Catholic faith to a bunch of 7th graders. Yes, I volunteered him. When he found out I put his name down as a teacher, he said, “Cool. I can do that.” and I thought, That’s my boy! Then a few days later when he found out the program runs until the end of May he said, “What?!! It goes all the way to May?!!” LOL. Yep, that’s my boy.
- My hair is falling out. It’s “thinning” as they say. I’m only 42. Shouldn’t this be happening when I’m in my 60’s? What’s the deal! I went to have a bunch of blood work done to see if it’s something hormonal, and all my tests have come back to show normal ranges. In other words, I’m completely healthy. Blah. Not that I don’t rejoice in the fact that I’m healthy, but I was seriously hoping that they would find the reason I am losing so much hair. So lately I’ve been searching the internet for solutions for this, but there really isn’t much out there. I swear, they can put a man on the moon but they can’t figure out how to stop your hair from “thinning” or how to regrow hair that is lost. There should just be a pill. A simple pill that you take that will grow hair. And if you take just one pill, you grow just a little hair. You take 3 or 4, more hair grows. Sort of like the Dr. Suess bird Gertrude McFuzz, where she wants to grow more feathers and just takes a pill…and then another, then another, then another….until she has so many feathers that she’s too heavy to fly. (anyone ever read that book? it’s a cute story!) Anyway, I want hair like that – so much hair that I’m too heavy to fly.
- I’m trying something new: going to bed by 10pm each night. Although my body and mind are benefitting from a full night’s sleep, I can’t help but to feel that I’m wasting so much time. Normally I get to bed no earlier than 1:00am, and from about 9:00pm to 1:00am I have the house to myself while everyone else is sleeping. I can get so much done during those hours! But now? Well, let me just let the blog dates speak for themselves. If I’m behind in this blog, believe me I’m behind in almost everything else.
