nothing

I don't have anything special to write about today. Just today, I can't type with my fancy nails. This is a drawback I am discovering. There are drawbacks. A few. Like I think I am allergic to the stuff, the acrylic. So for a few days afterwards my fingers are sore and then a little puffy and itchy and then they get little blisters under the nail. But then they go away in a day and are fine. TMI? sorry.

Anyway, Cody went 4-wheeling with Bart & his dad today. I am very glad he got to do that - he hasn't been in a few years. And in the meantime both Bart & his dad have gotten new 4-wheelers so I figure it can't be fun to watch them get new toys and he can't even go ride his own, old one. So they went today and I think he had a good time. (not like he ever comes bouncing in the door like a giddy school-girl to tell me what a good time he had, but that's probably most men for ya)

So this morning we went to Paula's to play with cousins before Paula leaves for Florida tomorrow. Finn & Burgundy had a good time. Seems like forever since we've been up there! I was hoping that would be our fun with playing with others today but, as soon as we made it down the driveway, I hear a little voice from the backseat, "can we play with Crystal?" UGH. As you, my faithful blog readers know, Crystal is Finn's little girlfriend next door. And I don't mind him playing over there, in fact it's pretty nice when he goes over there in their backyard and I can still watch and hear him and can also get stuff done around the house. But it's EVERY. FREAKING.DAY. that he asks. So we went to the new post office in Syracuse and afterwards we went to knock on their door but they were painting so he couldn't play. So then the rest of the day it was "are they done painting? are they still busy? can I play tomorrow?" It is enough to make me really hate the name Crystal (my apologies if anyone named Crystal is reading this)

I am also hoping that tomorrow's drop off for preschool will be uneventful. I volunteered at his school on Monday and did a little recycling lesson and project with the kids (which went very well), but I am really hoping he understands that that was only a once-in-a-while thing. We will see. And I could be optimistic and think he will be relieved that I am simply dropping him and not staying since he didn't seem completely thrilled with the idea that I was there anyway! ha.

So, other than that, we are just here, travelin' along, singing our song... side by side.

Oh, I know and feel you're pain. It's hard for us to even have our blinds open because Josh always wants to go and play with Gavin. Josh is the exact same way - he'll keep asking and repeating everything until you acknowledge what he is saying. Oh, sista - I feel you're pain :)
