The dog started barking hysterically yesterday while the girls were napping, so I ran to find out what was wrong. There was a squirrel climbing the tree in the front yard. Dog got sent to the backyard.

School is in limbo until the Financial Aid people figure out that yes I've worked for the company for just over 2 years and thus qualify for the tuition waver.

Why do I agree to last minute one on one sessions on Saturday nights?

Hey Dar, I found the flaw in your plan.

Coworker linked this on Facebook and I just had to share. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCkerYMffMo

Well, I've discovered that it's the state I live in that's stupid and not the school that I work for. Now to beg the Office of Higher Education in Montana to allow me to go to school.

Happy Anniversary Mork!

Mork - "Are you two going to be good for Mommy while Daddy is gone?" Mouse - "No."

Bunny has a very simple view of the game tag. Regardless of whether or not she is "it" everyone she comes across she will touch and say "Tag! You're it!". This includes the pets.

Bunny: "I want a drink." Me: "What do you need to say when you want something?" Bunny: "Nice words." Me: "Ok, and what is a nice word?" Bunny: "Nice words."

I have a sinking feeling the next two weeks are not going to be fun.

Ok, the ordeal of getting the phone and internet moved is done.

I've figured out an interesting parallel between Domina and Mouse. Domina insists on barking at the rabbits that run around our place in an effort to get them to come and play. This is almost exactly like Mouse's need to introduce herself to every person she sees for more than 3 seconds.

Last night and this morning Mr. Man demonstrated that if his hands were in the right places during tummy time he could lift his head and shoulders up high enough to roll over onto his back. I think Mork and I are in trouble.

Had to do a small powerpoint presentation with sound using Zoom for work. Took me five different tries to realize the reason there was no sound was because I wasn't hitting the "Audio on" button at the beginning of the presentation. Feeling like such an idiot.

Just got back from Mr. Man's two month checkup. 22.5" long and 13lbs 8oz. Chunky monkey!

We're now down in Salt Lake and all the major stuff is unloaded. Now comes the fun part of figuring out where our computers are going to go and finding homes for the small things.

Mr. Man is such a little tyrant.

Listening to Mouse list my names. First one was Mom, followed by Sandy, but she had trouble coming up with the last name which is what Mork's dad is working with her on.

Mork picked up the Christmas presents from layaway today. Now begins the sorting and wrapping.

On Monday Mouse had an extra visit to the doctor for a temp and sore throat. Now it's Bunny's turn. *sigh*

Payroll project done and submitted. All my checkpoints match, so I'm pretty sure I'm good.

Who expects to call a school after 5:30pm on a Friday and have someone immediately available to help them with their financial aid payment? Especially when that Friday happens to be the day after Thanksgiving? They're lucky someone even answered the damn phone because the main office and all the campuses are closed today.

Yesterday the girls decided to go visit one of Mouse's classmates while riding their bike and scooter. They also decided not to tell an adult what they planned. Fortunately they crossed the fairly busy street without mishap. However, they also took decades off my life.

I'm going to have to make another ele shaman. It's going to be the only way to get used to some of these changes. Like my lightning shield going away!!!!!!
