This has been a week for the books. It's not that it's been terribly busy or hard, but whenever I come back from vacation I feel like I need another one just to catch up! I think Michael agrees, since he's been more-than-usual-whiny-grumpy-gills.


Dear Michael's Room/Office, You're driving me nuts. No matter what I do you never seem organized or clean. Since we are going to have to make you JUST Michael's room in this upcoming week... could you do me a favor and cooperate? I need you to expand just the tiniest bit and make all the stuff we don't need magically disappear. I know you can do it!

Dear Weather, While many people are trying to hold on to summer, I am more than ready for fall. If you want to begin cooling down all day and not just in the mornings, I wouldn't mind. It would give me an excuse to start breaking out my jeans and sweaters... and to buy Michael some new clothes.

Dear Upcoming Week, As excited as Michael and I are for Clark to come home, I want you to pass slowly... because a week from tomorrow my baby will be two years old. When did that happen? All of a sudden he's starting to put sentences together, have some "attitude", and have very strong opinions of what he wants and how he wants it done. I have this mental image of Michael hitting two and BAM, it magnifies and worsens like *that* into the true-full-on-terrible-twos. So... please drag as much as possible. I won't mind.

TGIF! Happy Friday, everyone. Enjoy your weekend. Here's what you have to look forward to this this upcoming week....
