Multi-tasking

I've always thought I was pretty accomplished at multi-tasking. Clearly, Will is my child as he walks the treadmill, plays Xbox and listens to an audiobook! I'm so proud.

I think Jeremy from Zits would be proud, too.

Sitting at the Pops...

Greetings friends.  I'm at the Pops' house this morning sitting with Dad while Mom is off to some such medical test or another.  I was attempting to do some work on my laptop which I brought but apparently, Mom unplugged the wireless router for too long so I can't figure out the password and have no internet access.  Now, I'm using Dad's super-fancy Apple computer, but can't figure out how to get a new tab in Safari.  I have discovered though that I can get all the family blogs as saved screens.    This blog is here, Isabelle+David, and the Selbies. I think the Selbies might be the homepage, in fact.  So I guess if Grandpa can't use his computer for much of anything else, at least he can keep up with the family news.

What's news at our house?  Mary Rollins is off to camp this week.  Next week she's off to Italy!  Words cannot begin to describe my emotions at her leaving the country without me.  I'll attempt to describe it next week though while she's gone anyway.

Will is thirteen as of Sunday.  So far, thirteen is good.  He was quite crabby yesterday morning and then apologized to me for being cranky.  REALLY!  He said, as he sat on the couch playing Xbox after I had just asked him what he wanted for breakfast and what his plans for the day were, "sorry Mom.  I didn't mean to be so grumpy."  Wow.  Thirteen is nice.

And so I am officially a mom of teenagers.  Now when people ask me, do you have children, I can say, "No, I have teenagers."
