I have no idea how these bloggers (yes, you...Della) have time to write a post or 3 every day! I am scrounging some days just for something to write about. We really aren't doing much these days...just cleaning, and getting ready to pack. I really have such trepidation about this trip. I mean, driving in California??? What the heck am I thinking? It is bad, right? Like 6 lanes of traffic or some crazy thing like that? The convention is in Costa Mesa...right by the ocean. There is a lot of traffic by the ocean. Man!! I gotta move on to a different conversation. My heart is beating fast just thinking about it.
We walked 4 miles the other day. Went to the library, then to eat, and then back home. I was pooped! It felt nice, but definitely not something I am used to. Then we got home, loaded up in the van and went to watch a free outdoor band concert. My kids liked that. I didn't like the smells of everyone's bug spray, but then again...I don't like many smells. Anyone out there like me? Dislike smells, loud noises, certain textures, bitter tasting things, bright lights? I am on sensory overload at any given time, hence the California anguish.
Could still use a little more donations, if anyone were interested in helping out. Rest assured, I am doing this whole thing with the thrifty plan. I will not be throwing anyone's money around at all. I hate donating to things where I think they will misuse the funds, so I would be a hypocrit to do that myself. A hypocrit I am not. I am my own worst critic. If I tell my kids not to do something, most times it is something I wouldn't do either. It is such a bad example if I did. Now, I know that I am an adult, and there is some things adults do that kids can't, but that isn't what I mean...I do not drink, smoke, watch horror movies, listen to bad music, etc. :)
Well, Rachel is NOT wanting to go to bed tonight, so I need to go help. She is emerging with a little attitude this week. Which is a good thing, but then again, a not so good thing. I wonder how she will camp..........

Sweet dreams to you sweet Rachel
Em
:) she finally went to sleep...the problem was that this afternoon, for her regular nap, she buried herself into the covers so much that she must have thought it was nighttime. She overslept, and messed up the schedule. Can't be doing that again. LOL
We're having the same problem tonight with both kids....they took long naps today, so Matthew's been in bed for 2 hours but he's still awake. Then Emma asks to go to bed, but she just wanted to be in her room near Matthew so they could talk to each other! :)
I keep telling them to go to sleep but it cracks me up to listen to them....they're so cute!
Holly, we have two 3-year-olds! Emma's birthday was yesterday! Can you believe she's three?
Oh my goodness!! happy birthday, Emma!!!! Wow. Two three year olds sounds like twenty. LOL.
Are you actually going to the micro conference? I never got that part figured out.
Hey, Holly. I HAVE that exact problem. Sensitivity to light, sounds, textures. I hate crowds and loudness. My husband is so soft spoken it's a good thing. I cant stand blinking lights. i could go on but i'm crazy enough.
Yes, we're going to the conference! Paul wants to go, which kind of surprised me because he hasn't been feeling well and so hasn't wanted to go anywhere.
I'm excited!!
P.S. I can't stand bright lights or loud noises either....but it's because of migraines, which are because of fibromyalgia. :(
I had to laugh at your second paragraph! I've diagnosed you with autism because every one of those things you mentioned are symptoms for some children with autism.
(BTW, I can make that comment because my son has autism. I hope others see the humor in it, as it really was not meant to offend.)
ha ha!! I wonder sometimes if I don't have sensory integration dysfunction. My kids are like me too....Hmm.
Oh, and I totally see your humor. We gotta laugh about things, or we would just cry all day. :) Life it just too short to be serious.
