Puppies are going fast!




Katz, if you want one, you'd better let me know and FAST!
I can't believe they are old enough for adoption already.
You can download an application here.
They are probably around $400 each.

I LOVE Media Buyers

Contrary to all of the other posts such as this and this, I should sing praises for the people who pay my salary. I really love love love love it when large contracts come through.

Do you want to go to the mall?

Rebi is busily concocting ways she can travel outside of the US. One idea is to spend some time in Korea, where Dave knows the language and the kids can experience a different culture.

Rebi was taking that thought and running with it, contemplating how she would make friends and what words and phrases she already knows in Korean. Very seriously, complete with eyebrow knitting, Nate stepped in towards her and said, "Do you know how to say, "Do you want to go to the mall?" in Korean?"

Everyone knows that this is the only phrase any teenage girl needs to know the world over. To be sure he got his message across, he even brought one of Dave's Korean language books to her.

ADD you plague me!



(Attention Deficit Disorder, not addition or address or addendum)

A follow-up to the lack of sleep would be the ADD. Naturally, when your brain is tired, it makes it hard to concentrate. So, I have missed an appointment with Evan, and have gotten virtually no work done this morning, in spite of the fact that a rather large sum of money rests on me focusing on work today. I should be motivated, but thanks to the misfires in my brain, I am just distracted. Perpetually.

Insomnia

For the record, the frog song is getting stale really fast. I didn't know it was going to stream every time my blog launched. And I didn't know how many times my kids will check the blog for comments each day. I might have to change that so it's just a link.

That is not really the topic of this post. As you can tell from the title, I am having a little trouble sleeping tonight. It happens fairly often. I don't love it, mainly because I know how wicked tomorrow is going to be. However, I don't hate it because it is so easy to focus on tasks and get them done while all of the kids are sleeping.

Tonight, as is uncommon for most nights, I was feeling a little melancholy when I finally gave up on sleeping and came downstairs. I logged into the computer to stalk a few blogs (which, I have to admit feels a little bit like peeping. I was able to reconstruct nearly an entire year of some guy's life based on the photos he had stored in Flicker and linked to on his blog. It was too creepy and I felt evil for doing it. I don't even know which of my friends knows him for real). I answered an email or two and one of my friends answered back fairly quickly.

We exchanged a few email and then decided to talk over the phone. For two hours, I was entertained and did my dishes, some laundry, a little picking up. I didn't feel creepy at all! At 2:50, I even feel tired, which I assumed was still hours off. If you ask me, this is just one of those sweet blessings which occur when you pray to Heavenly Father to make up the difference.

And thank you to my friend who reads this blog and gave up at least two hours of sleep to lift my spirits.

I am not a coward!


This one is just a nicer photo- not so reminiscent of Stephen King's "IT" and the big scary clown. . .
