Hehe.

Okay. I will try to make this a more frequent part of my day. It will be good for me anyway, or at least I try to tell myself that.

Today I finally got my North Carolina driver's license. This was after making several trips to the DMV because I forgot one form of ID or another, or I didn't have any cash (since they don't accept out of state checks... which is a whole other issue in itself). Today I didn't have my proof of insurance (which required yet another drive home to find it), and I NEARLY failed the test. But at least now I have a license which has the best photo of me to date. I guess there is something to be said about the 110-degree heat giving someone an effervescent glow in photos.

Now I'm off to the gym, after doing a last minute whirlwind clean up of the house. The older two kids come home today, after being away for nearly 3 weeks, first in Chicago with their dad's relatives, and then on a road trip with their aunt to visit other relatives. I'll be glad to see them, but I'm overwhelmed thinking about our "summer routine", since the older two kids haven't been home since the Princess got out of school June 10 because we left for Florida the evening of her last day of school. Needless to say, the kids have been busy. I have been busy. But not necessarily busy while together. So this should be interesting.

But one more month left and it will be time to head back to school. The Princess will be in 2nd grade, and the Bruiser will start preschool.

And I must apologized for a somewhat disjoined blog post. It is so hot today and I really can't think straight. Now time to do more sweating at the gym, dressed in these new workout duds I picked up yesterday that actually makes me look a little bit like a superhero. I decided to slather on some of my daughter's lotion that she picked up at the Target dollar bins, only to find that it's full of GLITTER. So now I really look like I can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

You've heard the joke, no doubt, about the harried mother who had an appointment for her annual checkup at the ob/gyn. Just before she left the house for her appointment, she decided her nether parts needed a quick pick-me-up so she used the nearest wash cloth she found in the bathroom. During her appointment, while her male MD was getting ready to do her test, she could hear him chuckling. She discovered later, to her deepest humiliation, that she had used a cloth her daughter had previously used to wash off glitter -- and that's what the MD was chuckling about -- her decorated you-know-what!!!
