up to date

so, this is really an info-spilling session.  i must say, that altho I appreciate the complexity of the english language, i’m not especially tied to it when it comes to writing blogs and such.  i mean the mere act of having to shift to enter a capital is actually a hindrance to the creative process, so, since i am already hindered with other things like lack of sleep, i’m going with the lower case tonight.

the girls spent day two at royal ridges camp, then after i picked them up we spontaneously stopped to play in the lewis river under the 503 bridge for awhile.  very refreshing!  should’ve probably had dry clothes to change into before i stopped to purchase depends for my father at fred’s.  i’m sure the clerk thought ‘oh no, it’s too late’ but that’s okay cuz i knew the truth.  was a pretty funny thot tho.

hubby was super sick all day.  kinda grumpy, too.  are all guys kinda grumpy when they’re sick?  anyway, it started out to be a fairly routine week, but with the sick bug landing here, it’s been a bit more frustrating.  trying to get organized for colville – very exciting event to look forward to; trying to stay on top of things for the girls’ camp (they have to wear the same shirt all week, you know – which means laundry every evening – nothin’ but fun), taking dad to get his hair cut, learning more about qb (that’s quickbooks) for our new business, which by-the-way is where dave is working this week – at a job we got off craigslist – gotta love craigslist! – hoping to finish before saturday when we leave for colville, but with his being sick today and losing his 2 workers tomorrow….well, the Lord is sovereign and knows what’s up, so we are just praying for Him to work everything out.

oh yeah, and another out-of-the-routine thing – my son got engaged last week to a beautiful young lady, so plans are in the whirlwind, as they are planning a late sept. wedding.  for those of you who don’t know, i’m talking about zack & jessica seifert.  i must say, jess, i am looking forward to getting to know you better – i think we probably have more in common than merely the z-man.   (i love your blog)   )   altho z’s a pretty cool thing to have in common – albeit he’s quite uncommon – and that’s most definitely a compliment.  wouldn’t you agree?

so, cali is putting little jacky to bed while ry is using the potty one last time.  he calls mom, can you help me in here, so she comes in and finds him sitting on the toilet reading a lego pamphlet (he’s only almost-5 after all).  is he a guy, or what?  it was too funny!  jack got his staples pulled out last friday.  he’s such a strong little thug-boy.  never flinched an inch.  God sure blessed me with terrific grandsons!  it’s very special fun to be a gramma.

sleep.  interesting phenomenon.  would like to get some more.  hmmm. not on craigslist.  maybe amazon?  how about someone humming a little lullaby.  my mom used to sing old man river and slowpoke and it would put me right out.  and when i first moved up to portland (a hundred years ago – it seems) i would fall asleep listening to kink, when they’d have jazz after 10.

let’s see, did i bring y’all up to date?  either that or you read this far with hopes i’d actually write something worth reading.  either way, g’night. and God bless.
