I now have the cold that my husband and kids have had for the past two weeks. I am wiped out and sound like snufflelufogus! Mary went to church with grandma & papa today b/c there was no way I could go. Plus, Bill went to his slot-car racing tournament (I'm still not sure why they do that on Sundays) and I didn't want to try to deal with Katie going to church and screaming "DA, DA DA DA DA DA DA" and having no "DaDa" there to rescue her.

Work is crazy. I did an orientation yesterday -- they must have thought I was a freak because I had medicine head so bad that I didn't know what I was saying half of the time. It is nice to have today off -- I need to just veg. Emily and I ran to the grocery store this morning with Katie...that was funny. Emily got to witness the "Da da da da" first hand. I think I will just watch the race (YES, I am a huge Dale Earnhart, Jr. Fan, which I have yet to mention on my blog --- but be sure that will come out from time to time - go #8) and put away the zillion baskets of clean clothes that are stacked in my room.

Okay, I just have to add that while I was blogging Katie got really quiet. I thought she had wandered into the bathroom (remeber that she is not potty trained). She was sticking her hands into the toilet!!! Autism is so much fun!!!!! YIKES! Maybe Katie and I will just have to take a nap this afternoon until Mary gets home. I should have bought more coffee at the grocery store!

It wasn't embarrassing at all. Katie did awesome! I don't know if you were trying to prepare me for the worse Jill, but it was fine. Trust me, Katie behaved better than my ex-best friends kid EVER did at the store. I enjoy "hangin" with you. Hope you got a nap, I've been going non stop since this morning. I have no idea what is driving me, but I'm going with it!! Back to work!

Katie actually did really well today... I think she does better when Mary isn't around to push her buttons.

I did catch a little nap -- but woke up just in time to see that loser Jeff Gordon win the NASCAR race...

And just so you know, I like hanging with you, too!
