Major points of discussion since August 17th

• Sept 7th and I'm still sick. My time in Memphis was ruined by a nagging virus and dog allergies. now I have that dreadful cough that likes to pack a punch at about 9pm. Codeine is for babies at this point.
  
  
• The Memphis Babysitting Adventure went smooth! It was the longest my niece had been without her grandma and grandpa, so she would get a little homesick for them. But her love for a new school year definitely helped. Isn't it amazing how kids do homework on computers now? And things are so organized in binders! I mean, we would have to scribble our assignments somewhere and you just wrote stuff all the time.

• The Hubster was told he had to take vacation, so once my babysitting duties were over, we left the Bear in Memphis with the grandparents and took off to New Orleans!!! Whoopeee!!! We had the best B&B at the Green House on Magazine st. Loved their rooms. Was totally about to steal the mattress, because it was D-I-V-I-N-E!!! And their pool/back porch was so cute and decorated with tropical plants. They were perfect for an adult getaway. It saddens me that I couldn't take the Bear there, but children in a beautiful home can be C-R-A-Z-Y.

• The Bear started preschool!!! It was half days last week, and he starts full days this week. Fantastic! I can finally get my hair cut and a new drivers license. I'll be sad to see my TX drivers license go. My hair looks fab, bitch.

• Hubs started his ER stuff this month. He's on a totally opposite schedule. Like tonight is 9pm to 7am. It's thrown us off too. I somehow lost a day this week. We'll get over it soon.

• Oh, and have we made friends yet...That would be a no. Not so much. *sigh* It's really difficult figuring out what to do with our time. All of our errands get done so quickly since we don't have socializing to fill in the rest of our time. I'm hoping with school starting and the beginning of a Wednesday playgroup, we can really meet some people. That we like. That like us back. Yeah.
