The good thing is that it protected the home theatre system we bought and made sure that it didn't have any damage!

Recycling!
Every other Tuesday I have to do recycling. In fact, it takes me half of the night to load up all of our trash and recycling and put it to the curb! Yesterday, I had to deal with a corrugated box that wouldn't break down!
Homeland...
Good stuff!
We are totally caught up and watching this week's episode. Agent Brody is in some deep deep shit!
A few weeks ago we watched a marathon and could barely keep our eyes open the next day!

Tis the season...
Just the other day I went to get all of the old baby toys out of the playroom. Not one of them worked! The batteries were all dead.
I looked in our battery cabinet and of course, we only have one of each battery.
When you buy toys you typically forget to buy the handful of batteries that are needed for each one!
I think we might look into the investment of sanyo rechargeable batteries. I'm not only tired of buying new batteries but I'm also tired of throwing them in the trash to fill up the landfills!

Christmas?
I have started working on the kid's Christmas lists. I have purchased a single car for the boy.
It's interesting that since the kids don't watch much live television they really haven't seen the commercials that have all of the awful toys (that tend to break within the first week of play!)
Graem is really into the Schleich horses, fairies, unicorns, and dragons.
Emmy is into dress up and she really likes doctor dress up!
Keane would be happy with whatever but I think he'd really like having a few cars and some blocks when he gets older!

Housewives
So, I"m sad to see that The Real Housewives of New York has come to an end! Always a great show.
This year I have decided that LuAnn is really not my favorite character. She got caught in way too many lies. Good thing she's still sexy.
I really like Sonja! She's crazy and fun. But I think that she's also sensitive.
With all of the housewives there's a huge sense of entitlement that makes the show humorous.

Drama mama
Can I just say...I love online drama shows !
I've been watching online shows for some time now. In fact, if there's anything I need to know I go directly to the computer and bring up a instructional video!
I remember bringing Keane home from the hospital and looking up "perfect latch". It was important for me to visually see how a newborn latched on to know that I was doing it right!
Before that I used the internet to do things around the house like tiling the bathroom! I've also used it to figure out how to change the belt in the dryer.
It's amazing to think of a time when we didn't have the internet. I can honestly say that I would have spent much more money hiring service people and carpenters to do things that I can now just look up and find a DIY video!!
Now there is a culture of viewers that are finding some great viewing options right on their computer! I have friends who have cut off their cable completely and watch all of their network and non-network shows on the computer. The great thing is there are services that offer non-published drama, DIY, and other shows that might not have made it big yet but have renowned actors and producers.
It's a great grassroots effort to see happening! Now you don't have to spend millions to the networks to get good entertainment out there.
We have talked about cutting off our cable and at this point there are just a few shows that we can't find online. Unfortunate, for me...those are my favorite shows! I think there will be a time when we can have it all without having to spend a fortune for good entertainment.
Until then, I'll get the best of both worlds - my television and great internet shows!

Exhausted!!
Last night I went to bed at 9pm. I just can't seem to get untired. I'm exhausted all of the time. I know it's probably due to the sleep deprivation that has happened over the past 10 months. It's also starting to get darker sooner.
I'm just starting to get some much needed appointments scheduled. I went to the dentist the other day. I have to get 3 fillings. 2 are redos and one is a new one. I also have a horrible habit of griding my teeth. So they are going to make a new appliance for me so that I don't have total nubs.
I've been meaning to make my OB appointment for 6 months now and just can't get my act together. I know that if I go that Margot will have to take off and it just becomes too much of a production.
