Living, Loving, Giving: Guilty

It's one o'clock in the morning, and I should be sleeping. However, I am feeling as if my poor blog has been neglected, so I must provide my three loyal readers with a short post :)

After I wrote about being all lazy and stuff, I got all busy and stuff. I started my job with the online college, so I have been frantically grading submissions and calling students to have an initial contact with them.

Then, I went to Charleston with my mom and girls for three nights, just to get out of the house and relax. We did some shopping, and the girls did a lot of swimming. Lauren got some "pretty" (her word, not mine) clothes for school. She is so happy that her new school does not require uniforms. Both girls got new bookbags and lunch boxes, though I still refuse to admit that my baby Allison is old enough to go to all day school in less than a month. I shall not cry, I shall not cry, I shall not cry.................

Yesterday (Saturday), we had a family reunion, a BBQ at a friend's house, and a retirement party for a co-worker of my husbands. Then, last night, I dreamed that someone gave me a baby to take care of. I don't remember the details, but I do remember the baby was 9 months old, was a girl, and looked just like my girls when they were little. I was torn over what to do in my dream. I so wanted to keep the baby, but I was terrified of having another child to raise, and wondered if I could love her as much as I loved my own two. I woke up before the dream really concluded, but I do remember that I had decided to keep the baby, and already loved her dearly. I'm not sure what underlying psychosis of my mind caused me to have the dream. I have issues, I know.

And, tomorrow my husband and I are taking the girls down to Orlando for five days of fun. We are hitting Sea World, Busch Gardens, and a waterpark called Aquatica, that is owned by SeaWorld. We considered Disney, but holy cow is that place expensive. That trip will have to wait a year or two. The girls are super excited about the trip, as am I. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Also- I'm so behind on blog reading/commenting. I have been trying to catch up. I still love you all and will catch up!!
