- Holy crap, if Congress doesn't pass this stimulus package WITH the $15k tax credit for homebuyers, Sweetie and I are totally screwed. Without boring everyone with the details, we did our 2008 taxes the other night, and that tax credit means everything to us. So much so, that we've had to postpone the closing on our house to make sure that if it does pass, we'll be able to qualify for it. We were supposed to close on Friday. Obama wants to sign the bill by Monday. Time is of the essence here people! How many times a day can I check CNN.com for status updates?
- What's the point in packing if we can't start taking boxes over to the new house this weekend? (See supra). It's not like we have that much to pack -- most everything is still in boxes in the basement. I have, however, reorganized almost everything we own, complete with printed labels from my label maker. Awesome.
- This morning, Luke was attempting to put a barette in my hair. After he finished, I asked him if he thought I looked pretty. He said no. Noah, from his spot on the potty doing his morning business, shouted, "You are pretty in my eyes, mommy." Awwwww.
- I can't wait until Luke starts preschool.
- Why is kindergarten in Minnesota only 2 and half hours long? They call it a half-day, but it's not. It's only a third of a regular school day. Idiots.
- When, dear God, is Luke going to be potty trained? He wipes his own butt when we change his diaper, so why can't he just go on the damn toilet?!?!?!?
- I keep losing to Matt Robertson on Scramble. This bothers me.
- I hate clomid. I hate having to be on clomid. I hate that clomid didn't even work last month. I hate that I have no idea what the hell happened inside of my body to necessitate the clomid. I hate that no one knows if clomid is actually going to address the undiagnosed problem, but that I'm on it anyway. I hate that I have no idea when or if we are ever going to have another baby. I hate that I have such control issues.
- How the hell did Jon & Kate +8 afford such a huge house? I want a tractor, too.
- Noah doesn't know what "cheat" means. Luke doesn't know what "that's not fair" means. Nevertheless, they both use them frequently and fervently.
- Is Harvest Brown the right choice for the kitchen cabinets? Or should I go with Parisian Taupe? And should I go with brushed nickel hardware or antiqued bronze?
- 10 years ago today Sweetie kissed me for the first time. 10 years: 6 apartments, 2 rented houses, 2 owned (almost) houses, 3 states, 5 cars, 5 jobs, 2 kids, 1 cat, 1 dog, countless moments of perfection and bliss. I love you Sweetie.

RE: last random thought: as always, couldn't have said it better, Sweetie. Love you too.
And we had a cat? What were we thinking?
Awwwww!
And poor forgotten M cat name.
And brushed nickel! Duh!
TLC pays well, hence the $1.3M new house for J&K+8. She has also written 2 books plus she does countless appearances. Yeah, I'm jealous of that huge ass new house, but I wouldn't want to live in middle of nowhere PA!!
Hang in there with the clomid. I am sending you all my good thoughts and prayers re: baby #3 (and everything else, too).
At least Luke gets the wiping his butt concept. Caetlin has something like an academic interest in the potty- it's an interesting artifact that other people make use of, but means little to her. She has gone pee-pee on the potty twice, I think. At least one of those times was completely accidental and she had no idea why we were cheering for her.
You and your Tom Mattback are adorable. I can't believe you remember when you had your first kiss. (Have I just outed myself as less than a girl by admitting I don't remember the date I first smooched my husband?) Awwww.
