What's new?

Life is such a roller coaster! The Girl starts KINDERGARTEN in 6 weeks!!!! That's just crazy talk right there I tell ya! Thinking about her waking up at 6:45 in the morning is reason enough for me to consider homeschooling her! She still doesn't do mornings... at. all! The Boy is VERY much a boy and in very much of a rude awakening when he wakes up one morning and his sister is not here... all. day. long! (That's going to make for a very long day for me!) C is also in for some changes coming up. He has been having some noticeable issues with his voice since the beginning of the year. It has bothered him enough that he finally went to the dr about it, she referred him to an ENT dr who did a scope and found a mass on his vocal chords. Since C uses his voice for "other than social reasons" they referred him to a surgeon who specializes in vocal surgeries. Yesterday C met with him and he took some images and they scheduled surgery for July 25th. C will be on complete voice rest for 7 days and then he will gradually be able to increase his vocal use to full speaking capacity 4 weeks post op and he should be able to go back to singing within 6-8 weeks. In other news... I got a new washer and dryer!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!!! My old machines where 15 years old and just so tiny and not energy or water efficient. I finished ALL the laundry in the house in 4 loads, that would have easily been 8 -10 loads in my old machines. I can't imagine how long that would take in the dryer. A small load was taking about 70 minutes to dry. :( I told C that we were going to save so much money by not using all the energy and water that we wouldn't even feel the payments. LOL It won't be that much, but it could quite possibly be 1/2!
