Meaningless rantings of a cabin fevered Mom.

So, today was day # 1 of our "spring Schedule" I've signed the kids up for Gymnastics, and myself for a work out class. Sam is Mon. after school, Grant is Thurs. evening, and I am Tues and Thurs mornings for "Total Body Conditioning" weewt! Today I watched Samantha do her Gymnastics, and the poor kid! :P Almost a year ago, she was diagnosed with "Hypotonia" which basically means she has very low muscle tone. I have noticed it for some time, not knowing what it was, but when she started Pre-school her teacher noticed it, and suggested I get her checked out, so we did, and now we know that she really has a reason for being so sluggish, and well, floppy! I mean, if you just watched her you would think she is just not a mobile kid, but she LOVES to move and run and jump and try to keep up with Grant, she just cant. We were told to get her into programs, targeted at strengthening muscles, try to work things out with her, like mastering steps, and better bal...

Ohio River Crud. seriously, look it up, it's fo' real yo! Anyway, yeah I'm sicker than a dog today, which SUCKS. I had grand plans to go work out, take my kids to library, get library cards finally, but now, I can barely get them food to eat, let alone looking decent enough to go outside. :P this is a rambling post really ..... almost boring? :D I went to the doc recently, just a yearly check up, refreshing prescriptions and stuff.

I'm holding out on that last one :P Another thing, one that helped that homesicky feeling, when I was checking in at the front desk, I saw the back of a doctor's coat standing in the hall, and my eyes were drawn to her SHOES! She had these fabulous bright yellow HIGH heel sandals on. I thought, man, I hope she's my doctor! She i...

**This posts explains the reason I picked this new layout for my blog.** So, I live in the suburbs. I never imagined myself doing that, as I grew up in the country, THAT is where I imagined living out my life, simply, in a simple place, with a simple life. Not so! I married a guy who works hard for his company, and they like him, so they move him forward and upward, and Ohio-ward. I will follow him anywhere mind you, but moving to the "burbs" was NOT an easy thing to come to terms with. First of all, the houses all look the same! You go into these neighborhoods and it looks like a cookie cutter massacre of the landscape. ( I have also found out that from living in NE so long, i have turned into a little bit of a tree hugger. Scoffing the smog, being mad at people for driving ridiculously big vehicles for no reason, demolishing of the rolling hills and grasses, it all bothers me WAAAY more than I ever realized. ) But, back to the matter at hand, Cookie cutter houses on postage...
