Not all that much is new...

Zach and I both got haircuts in the past few wks. I just couldn't take it any more. I've decided that I will always have short hair unless we move to somewhere cold and I can wear a hat for 9 months out of the year. It could happen.....if McCrazy is elected president we are so moving to Canada! Any way, I've never been a "hairdoer" so now I have my old short do back that I don't have to "do". It's much easier and I'm a much happier person. You know how women can be grumpy if they have a bad hair day? Well, that is so me....er was me.

Unlike me, Zach wasn't too thrilled about getting his new do. His hair was looking rather "helmety". When we went to a party for a friend from Dwayne's work someone called him "Moptop" and it put Dwayne over the edge. The next day we broke out the clippers and buzzed it all off. He was very squirmy and didn't like it much. I think it looks great. He was fascinated with it, he rubbed his head for about 2 days.

We signed Calvin up for soccer. He will start in September. I don't know what's happened to him? He's become this big sports nut. He's been obsessing over baseball for weeks now. I was surprised to hear he wanted to play soccer. He's looking forward to it. First I was the the neighborhood babysitter and now I'll officially be a soccer mom? Uhhhh, what's happening to me?

We're going to look into putting Zach in soccer or tee ball. They have leagues for both in his age group. I think he would LOVE it. His whole world exists of balls and "drives" (cars). Every day Dwayne comes home from work he runs up to him and says "Hi Daddy! Ball? Let's go!" He loves going to play baseball with Calvin and Dwayne. He has to wear Calvin's helmet and use his bat and real baseball....no toddler equipment for him, no way, he's a big boy.

I am counting down the days until Calvin starts school. We've already bought his new backpack and lunch pale.....Animated Transformers. We found them at Target and as we were going up to pay for them he was dancing down the isles singing the theme song-"Transformers....more than meets the eye." Everyone thought it was very amusing. He's looking forward to school, but I don't think as much as I am!

The sale of our house should be finalized around about October or November. That should be a relief. This whole situation is one hot mess! I'm not even going to write any more about it cuz I just get all fired up.

My great friends Tom and Don came up this past week. It was their 11 year anniversary. I can't believe it! I can't believe I've known Tom for almost 18 years! He's one of my best friends and knows almost all of my secrets. Ha! Like I have any secrets?! Who am I kidding!

Ok, I believe that's it for us. We hope all is going good for all of you! Love you all and miss you tons!
