Is it Mother’s or Mothers’? Anyway, happy day to all you moms out there! Not too much going on at the So-Called household. The kids and Jim got gifts and gave them to me yesterday since he had to work this afternoon. I got a very pretty silver locket inscribed with “Mom” and a rose on it that the girls picked out and an iTunes gift card. They also went to our favorite Chinese buffet and picked up sushi for lunch yesterday (yeah sushi at the Chinese place, go figure!). YUMMY! I was a little down today because we didn’t do anything special, but then I got to thinking. I’d rather have my sweet kids and hubby every day than have them go all-out only one day per year. Any given day Moira will offer to make me a glass orf Dr. Pepper or a bowl of popcorn. Jim is great at bringing home little random gifts — some chocolate, a little bouquet of flowers from the grocery store, some promotional item they had a the station he knew I’d like. Taeryn is AWESOME at making cards and always seems to give me one when I’m feeling particularly down or under appreciated. And Duncan is the best for sudden “run-hugs” and power-kisses. Who needs Mother’s Day when you’ve got an awesome family 24/7/365? It really rocks!!!

On my right-hand sidebar, under the ads, you’ll see a new button. RME has been around a little while, so I’m getting in on the tail-end of the Revolution, but i f you sign up within the next five days you’ll get $25, no strings attached, and I’ll get $10. Not a bad deal, eh? I got my $25 and have already spent it on cloth diapers, cute ones too, so it is the real McCoy. RME is setting itself up as THE Paypal alternative, and I’ve found a few places that take it, although they are mostly WAHM sites. Check around and see what you can find!

How can sitting at a desk all day make me so exhausted? Jim’s doing most of the housework, chasing the kids, making dinner; I’m just trying to keep up on the laundry. Weird!

Sunday, April 27, my oldest child Moira was baptized into Christ!!! Jim and I got to baptize her. Of course we didn’t get pictures since we were in the baptistry with her, but hopefully the video came out. Jim has to digitize it, then I’ll put it on YouTube for friends and family. I couldn’t be more happy!!!

Taeryn (Pink Pixie) and I got new haircuts 2 weeks ago. She had 9.5 inches to donate this time. I think it was only a year ago she donated it last time!

They’re phone pictures, so not the best quality, but you get the idea!

OK, I really should go to bed, but want to keep posting even though I’m crazy busy! New since last we met (or last I blogged):

• New Job — I threw my hat in the ring a couple of weeks ago for our church secretary position, thinking it a longshot. I got the job and the interim secretary quit, so I ended up starting last Monday. Still working out childcare issues we thought we had covered.
• New haircut — got a new ‘do, and it is cute if I do say so myself. Pink Pixie got the same cut, she is adorable as usual. (will update with pictures tomorrow)
• Squid will be taking over the homeschooling as soon as we can get his schedule nailed down. Of course as soon as I need him to have a stable schedule it gets changed up after several months of being steady. At least he’s not working himself to the bone at 2-3 jobs anymore.

I’ll post more details on the above topics and hopefully more! Miss you all, have been in a bit of a funk lately. I think I’m wading out of it — this job is keeping me on my toes. Now, off to bed so I’m not a grump tomorrow morning!!!

Well, once again, I have neglected this little blog. Lots of new things are happening at the So-Called household, and I am going to tell you all about them. I just found Scribefire, a blogging extension for Firefox, and it is super-easy to use! Hopefully, this will help me to blog a little more often, lol! More later!!!
Monkey-boy luv!!!
