Wherein I am tuckered out.

It has been a busy week. It's always a busy week but this week I was also physically exhausted as well as mentally (usually I'm only mentally exhausted; it takes a lot to physically exhaust me). I was physically exhausted because (/drum roll) my job description has changed for the better. Without going into too many details I am now full-time, I love what I do and for the moment school is out of the question for me. I have plans for going back and have thought through several possible eventualities. I will also probably cry when school goes back into session. I will rejoice when finals arrive and I don't have to study. More importantly, I will have more energy for the kiddos and Damm. And time. And weekends!

But not right now. Still adjusting to this physically demanding schedule. So in the meantime enjoy the following art design:


Don't worry, the ink washes off as soon as they have a bath in the tub. My mother-in-law's idea:)

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
