10-2-10

I cannot believe it's October already!  Although, I am digging the fall weather.  I hate it when the seasons decide to go from summer, to a week of fall, and straight into winter and, ugh, snow...Although, I did hear someone at work say snow was predicted for later this month...but then again, what else is new?

We went from the flu to colds.  I was so psyched to have stayed healthy after Erich and Harper got sick, but alas, my multivitamin theory was a bust, as I am sick.  It's currently just an annoying scratchy throat, but I had something similar when I was pregnant last fall, and it turned into the most miserable cold of my life.  Le sigh. 

On Thursday I took a half day from work so my mom and I could attend our public library's annual sale of discontinued books.  it's probably my favorite sale of the year, I love it more than Black Friday.  I mean, it's a room full of books at "cheap" prices, plus they have records and cds and movies, and well, it's just plain awesome.  My problem is that I buy these treasures that I find, and then don't read them.  Case in point, while preparing for this sale, I found the bag of books I bought last year...I maybe read one of them.  Which leads me to my problem.  Hi, my name is Susie, and I am a chronic book buyer and not reader.  I don't get why, but if I see a good deal on a book I am only kinda interested in, it feels wrong not to buy it...I know I'm not the only one out there, and I have gotten better, but it's definitely a problem when it comes to storage of said books. This year I only purchased 7 books, as well as a kids book for Harper, and two VHS tapes of Sesame Street.  All for $9! A steal if you ask me!  But I digress...

So, one of the videos I got is rather sentimental for me, as it's the same one my nephew was addicted to when he was little...my little baby nephew who will be 18 next month.  I cannot believe it, as it seems just like yesterday my sister was going into labor, and I was pissed because I was going to have to walk the 6 blocks to school that morning for choir practice...I was always the loving sister, can't you tell?  The fam is all coming over for dinner tonight, so I'm going to surprise him by playing the tape.  Surprisingly enough, I remembered the words to almost all the songs--here's a link to my favorite one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDJsgtoizj8.

Speaking of family, I am making dinner, and I'm pretty sure I ruined the chili because I added red pepper powder instead of chili powder, and apparently there's a difference.  I got online to find a solution to my hot hot dish and got distracted...go figure.  OK, off to fix my dish!

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Snow Day

OK, we get it.  It's Nebraska and the weather is the worst.  It can stop snowing any time now.  Booker hopped into bed with us before 6, and when I checked the time on my phone, I was also surprised to see a voicemail from the school.  Whaaaat?  I have quit even looking at forecasts because the days I think should be cancelled are never the days that are.  Harper was ticked; she has chicks hatching at school people!  And Booker, he had to miss swim!  Then again, not having to leave the house is nice.  We put up a tent where they spent most of the day playing, fight free, while I did laundry and read my book and started uploading pictures to work on photo books because I have coupons expiring at month end. Tomorrow is a big day for Booker; we have his Kindergarten physical.  Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner sobbing (with Booker right next to me, because, shots.)  I feel like we just did this with Harper.  Even fo...
