just the beginning......

I try to write a weekly email, informing ALL of my oh so exciting life. Sometimes though, things happen during the week, that I forget to write about and my weekly email becomes only a travel log.

This is my attempt to write about the day to day things, that I would like to remember and share.......

We'll start with yesterday:

It's 6:20pm, I am frantically trying to get the finishing touches together for dinner that should be ready at 6:30. While cooking I am also: helping Proto set the table, listening to Brick screaming/crying over a bloody finger, washing said bloody finger, yelling for the other kids to come in from outside, telling Hootis for the 10th time to quit roller blading in the kitchen......you get the idea, our normal chaos.

At approx 6:25, Stick comes in from work and informs me that Houdini is walking down the driveway outside with no shoes on! Ok, it's October, in Utah, and COLD. Houdini is 15 months old and earned his nickname because of his ability to escape! The cold weather has caused the wood at our back door to expand, so now the screen door won't latch. Thus facilitating Houdini's escape.

Who is in charge here?

FYI - names have been changed to protect the innocent. If you don't know who I am refering to, e-mail me and I'll enlighten you. for a fee.
