A Minute to Myself

I just put Owen into bed. He is sleeping soundly, I think. Jesse took both Keyton and Hal to Keyton's baseball practice. I have a moment to myself! YIPPEE! So here I sit, when I have about 900 dishes in the sink.

Hal learned to ride her bike yesterday without training wheels. She is so proud of herself. I am proud of her to of course.

Hal is a funny child. I feel sorta bad for her, because she has some anxiety like I used to have. I used to be afraid of really silly things. For instance, I used to have a fear about losing my little brother Jacob. I mean--- I was terrified that he would disappear. The fear that I had, stemmed from a game of hide and go seek that went wrong. Jacob was probably around three-years-old. When it was Jake's turn to hide, he hid so good, that it took hours to find him. This experience traumatized me. From that moment on, I wouldn't let my brother out of my sight. Thankfully, as time went on, I got over my fear. Could you imagine if I would not have out grown this fear? Humorous really. FYI- I don't know where my brother is right now.

Hal is afraid that the ice machine in our fridge is going to start shooting out ice cubes and that's its never going to stop. She is afraid that our whole house is going to fill up with ice cubes. I sure as heck hope this is a fear that she too will out grow.

We show our house tomorrow afternoon, again. I can't wait, because I have got a feeling that it is going to sell. Yes I do. I have a feeling.

Owen is still crawling all over the place. He sort of slithers like a snake. He is like a sneaky little snake, that Owen is.

I have a lot I should be doing. I just know, I am going to hear the sound of the garage door opening any second, which means the troops are back. I better look somewhat busy, I suppose. Oh and Glee is on, which is fantastically strange.
