The sounds of rain hitting the windows was drowned out by a loud little voice… “I Don’t Like The Rain!” As my eyes focus the red numbers that were blurry show 3:31… After trying to settle 3yo down we finally gave up and brought him into our bed. 4:45 a little boy is still restless talking and kicking me in the back. 6:30 my alarm goes off and I quickly shut it off. A little before 7:00 I get downstairs and start packing lunches and begin the day. 7yo moves rather quickly and is ready in no time for school. 7:50 it is time to leave for the bus and 3yo is still asleep. So the moment of truth has finally arrived. 7yo will be walking to the bus alone! Granted he just has to cross the street and walk three houses with his friends. So I open up the big garage door and watch him walk to the bus without me. The bus comes and the kids get on without me and the world did not end. About 20 minutes later 3yo wakes up looking for Mom and Big Brother. Not the best way for him to start the day.

3yo and Pictures.
Today at preschool was picture day. After getting him dressed for school I took a few pictures and off we went. He looked like such a little man and was so proud of his “Special” shoes. He had little brown leather shoes on that were for dressing up only.

Library Trip x 2
Well on my way home I stopped by the library and found a few things I wanted. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audio book, Sopranos season 6.1 and Death Proof. I was on a roll and had enough to keep me busy will reports ran for the next few weeks. I get home to a message…The other library which is my “Local” library had Highlander Season 5 in per my request. Funny thing is my “Local” library is 2 miles FURTHER away then the one I go to most often.

Play Date for 3 yo
A neighbor has a three year old and a 1 year old. So today the boys played together down the street. I typically hang out, but needed to make a few phone calls for work. The neighbor has said many times I can just bring 3yo by and get some work done. Well today I took her up on the offer and the boys had a WONDERFUL time.

The Afternoon Rush.
Well once 7yo gets home on Tuesday and Thursday it is a whirlwind of activity. He needs to eat, do his homework and then he and I run out to football. This could be the last week of practice. On Saturday is a playoff game and if we win we have one more game. Otherwise Season is over.

The 5

1. Battlestar Galatica Razor - There are currently shorts on SciFi for the upcoming SciFi Movie Razor. I guess it fills in some blanks in the show with major flashbacks. The first two 2 minute shorts were pretty cool. The actor playing your Bill Adama is a good fit.
2. Star Trek Casting - Well the reboot for the Star Trek Franchise has been cast. See the article here… For the most part I am not too disappointed, but I am puzzled by Karl Urban as the Dr and a Korean playing a Japanese character… Granted a White Castle run might be needed with Harald on board. We shall see… Shaun of the Dead as Scotty should be interesting. I was actually hoping for Dr Beckett from Star Gate Atlantis, but the cast should do a good job.
3. Tomorrows Christmas - Or at least that what it looks like at the stores. It is not even Halloween and the stores are packet with holiday decorations. The Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre Holiday sales. Pretty soon the stores will start in January for the following Holidays.
4. Hard to Find Items Found - Well in order to make my holiday shopping less difficult I started looking for certain things now and as luck would have it the gifts I wanted to by the boys were found. I was actually in a store when a UPS shipment arrived.
5. Sleep - Something I lack as of late…AGAIN! By Feb 3yo will be sleeping well just in time for the baby to be here.

Daily Observation: Things are hard to see in a sleepless fog.

Tomorrow I get a 34,000 mile checkup with my new Dr. Joy… Plus hopefully a flu shot…Did I say hopefully!
