Long Time, No Post

So, it's been a while since the last time I posted anything. Let me think of what has been going on...

Evan turned 2 in October. Did I mention that previously??? Of course, since I only have two readers, who both already know anyway, the point is rather moot.

Mikel will turn 18 (God help me, please) on Thanksgiving.

I have recurrent, extremely irritating cocydemia. Yes, I have a pain in my butt. Both literally (like dislocated tailbone) and figuratively (caused by household members and employers).

I have a torn meniscus in my right knee. Well, they're about 98% sure that's what it is. To be positive, though, they want to send me for an MRI, which is totally expensive and I'm not doing that unless it is so bad I can't walk and think I need surgery. Or unless my deductible is met...

I read in a ParentCentral e-mail that a two- to three-year-old should have about a 50 word vocabulary. That made me laugh. Evan's vocabulary is unreal. Now, granted, there are plenty of times you have to get him to repeat or slow down and he gets tongue-tied because his brain is on overdrive and he's trying to talk like a grown up, but man...

I have a LOT of things to do to finish my house - like finish painting. And Lord knows I'm going to be the one to do it.

I really need to figure out what is wrong with the plants in my front flower bed. They look dead and I just planted them.

I really need to do some Christmas shopping, but sometimes it sucks to do it alone. Any volunteers?
