what would you do?

really, i want to know. would you stay in a house in a neighborhood you're not too crazy about because you only have 9 years left on your mortgage? the house is great. some of the neighbors are great. you really want community. do you just stay and make the best of it?

i really wanted to put elias to bed early. really early. so i could sit and watch a movie. unfortunately, i just discovered him sippin on a diet pepsi. the little sneak! why he likes it i don't know. i try to hide it from him. i don't really think it' s healthy....but every now and then he finds it! so with all the caffeine in his little body...hmmm.

i'll try really hard not to cuss. but it did feel really good. kinda rednecky and juvenile...but really good.

damn

so i signed up on facebook. HOLY SHIT. i had no idea. yeah. it's pretty crazy. crazy and fun to reconnect with all of those people. wierd. it's like having a big party and all of these random people showing up. do i have to give everyone a beer?

i try really hard to blog. i've written several in the past few weeks, but my time spent at the computer in the summer is just..well..interrupted. constantly. even now at 9:24pm and i have to stop. think. answer a question. rethink. what was i saying?????

my eldest wrecked on his skateboard. saved his broken arm that is in a cast. tore up his other arm. his hips. his leg. his ankles. crazy. he is the cautious one. the one who thinks. he is not a daredevil. he beat himself up for choosing to go down a really big hill. he was at a friend's party. called me to come get him. by the time i got there was kicking himself for not having a video camera on hand. ya know...near death experiences are very popular on youtube.

must go. i promised myself i would go to bed really early tonight.
