Take it away!!!!!

Why haven't I been blogging? Why haven't I redone my Mom's 60th album (don't ask)? Why am I not caught up on my favorite programs? Why can't I get anything done? Why don't I have thank yous written? Why don't I have any free time? Is it because both girls have had the tummy bug? Is it because Graydon is so busy? Is it because the house is like a constant tornado? No! It is because all my free time is spent playing Super Mario Brothers on the girls Nintendo DS.

This is a game that I remember playing every day after school in junior high, and a game that Curtis and I spent months mastering on the Nintendo 64. But the DS is way better because it is so small and portable and you can curl up on the couch or in bed and be in your own world (all the platforms are different - so it is not like I am playing one I have already beat). Morgan will be playing and say "Mom, can you help me beat this guy?" Two hours later we (I mean me) are still playing. At night I have to tell Curtis, "TAKE THIS THING AWAY FROM ME!!!!"

I know that I have to do a birthday blog for Schuyler, it is in drafts. I am glad that the weather is getting nicer - in the 70s a lot this week. So that is helping and redirecting all the free time into more productive avenues - instead of all day jammie days!
