I like to ramble on and on............

- I worked in Parker's classroom yesterday. I came home with green paint in my hair and an armful of classroom projects.
- Parker's teacher, Mrs. Fitzgerald, is a whirlwind. When you go into her classroom to help she shows you about 10 things that need to be done. (I'm not exaggerating.) I'm always a little freaked out about how fast she is--but totally organized and in control. I want to be like her when I grow up.
- My fake Lee Press-on Nails held up very, very well but I guess I left them on too long because one of my nails is sporting a green spot. NAIL FUNGUS! It has happened to me before with acrylic nails. Gross.
- I am wearing maternity clothes today.
- Don't get too excited.
- That is NOT going to happen.
- My two children are the kind of kids that need to be a two-child family. Parker is soft-hearted, cerebral, sensitive, a little bit clingy, and loves to simply spend time with me. Jack is a little bit crazy, very funny, chaotic, smart, quick and needs lots of my attention to keep him out of trouble. I am unorganized, messy and I would rather do something creative than clean. Travis is very involved in the community--baseball, school board, Lion's Club, American Legion not to mention various committees and helping anyone who asks. All of this adds up to the realization that one more child would not make sense for us. I would love to have a daughter, but practicality has made me say goodbye to that dream. And that's o.k.
- Back to why I'm wearing maternity clothes. They are maternity sweats and they are COMFORTABLE!!!!
- Plus I'm not going anywhere public today.
- I would like to be creative today, but I need to clean.
- My goal this evening is to get a Christmas card-worthy picture of Parker and Jack. I've tried several times only to meet failure. Every year I torture myself this way and end up with a decent picture but not at all what I planned.
