craigslist, chandeliers and leather walls

Okay, so as I posted last time that I was going to type more oftenand then I dissappeared I got sucked back into the PAFO, or the parenting forum on Craigslist, it is the most addicting thing in the world!  I cut myself off cold turkey last summer when I realized just how much time I spent on it everyday, but then I got bored here ( I think everyone was on vacation or something) and somehow ended up back there.  Somehow seeing the insane things people do with their kids, the hijinks their kids get into ( like peeing on the dinner table and playing let’s squish your head) is highly amusing especially when you can give unsolicitated parenting advice as much as you want and no one can tell you to shut up!!  so anyways I had prewritten as blog in my head ( i know thats where I always seem to screw them up, but the ideas just seem to hit when I’m in the car driving my kids somewhere) about chandeliers and kids and howe our new chandelier was an adventure to install involving power boxes, metal links that would not bend (where is Aaron – Mr. Construction when you need some extra strength anyways?) and the worlds heaviest chandelier (but it looks really cool!)  and then part 2 where Nathan DOESN’T turn the power off when adding the dimmer switch and nearly knocks himself on his ass, and then i was going to delve into my current project (yes I do have a habit of starting new ones before the old ones are done) of turning our foyer wall into a gigantic piece of leather, and how whenever I am pregnant I get these big ideas that are nearly impossible for a non-pregnant person like doing tromp-loi ( no idea how to spell this) from atop a 20 foot ladder.  Remember joJo’s pregnancy projects? (1. sell house 2. buy house AND move across the country 3. refinsh new houses 2 story deck).  Oh well.  Anyways this fas turned into a big ramble of whats going on so I may as well finish with a few more random rambles .

Bailey is cute when she says ” Ummm, excuse me mommy (tilts head to side and puts finger on chin) Actually ……’  She did really well at her FIRST week of swimming claas, however week 2 refused to get in the water. Navi now wants to wear Tzitzit everyday and is really looking forward to school in the fall ( he got the coolest superman backpack ever – it has a cape AND a chestplate) and will be riding the bus, oh and the principal correct5ed me this week that it is A MAGNET school not a CHARTER school although I still think they are pretty much the same thing.  and JoJo has learned to jump, but he only likes to practice on top of the kitchen table and in the shower (aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaia!)  And i am trying a new grocery thing that is working GREAT!  But will update more on this when I try a bit longer.

Oh well.  I will ty toblog more often and try to keep to a point next time.
