Trying to Make Up For No Posts

My lack of posting is irritating. I'm annoyed with myself. I have things to post but they all seem to take too much energy to put up. So the popular bullet points are back today......

• My house is still for sale. Thinking about lowering the price. Not sure about it.
• My house is still clean. Have you ever kept your house immaculate for 2+ weeks? This is a feat even for Martha Stewart, surely. I want to slop around for just one afternoon. Then I'll get back on it. Promise.
• Took Aulora to the doctor about 3 weeks ago for shots. She picked up germs and has been sick ever since.
  
• Finally took her back to the dreaded germ pit today. I must have told Julia 100 times not to touch anything so she wouldn't get sick. I'm sure all the other parents thought I was a snot or a total germ freak. But they don't know how yucky it is to have your 3 kids passing around the same cold for 3 weeks.
• Aulora has an ear infection, a cold, a cough, and an eye infection that started yesterday.
  
• John David just fed the dog chalk. I don't know why, but it was apparently very funny.
• Granny is wearing a bathing suit while she's dancing with Jesus in heaven. That's what Julia says.
  
• My house phone is dead. What's up with Suddenlink? Their new name should be Suddenstink. Anyone want to second that?
• I made chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes for dinner last night. Even made a pumpkin pie for dessert. I think my husband likes me.
• My gravy turned out good. Quite the accomplishment.
  
• I'm on a never ending quest for brown dress shoes for my girls that don't cost $40+. I think this may be mission impossible. Whey do shoe makers think this is not an important thing for little girls? Dillards has some but they have yet to go on sale (which means I have yet to do more than drool in passing). Has anyone ever used Zappos.com? Tons of shoes and free shipping both ways. They have several cute brown shoes. Don't ask how much.
• The roast in the oven smells soooo good. Is it time for dinner yet?
  
• My kids are trying to get back in the house. When the door failed John David figured out they could go through the window. I need a better security system to keep them out.
  
• For lunch I had a plate full of raw vegetables with some ranch dip. Aren't you proud? I really just wanted pie.
  
• I think we finally conquered lice in our house. Those "slice bugs" are "very sneaky" and heaven help you if you ever get them. I wonder how long it will be before I stop checking Julia's head every time she scratches it.
  
• Is there a reason why it's mid October and it's still almost 90 degrees?
  
• A - I love your new kitchen and dining room. Next time I read your blog at 6:45 in the morning I'll leave a comment.
  
• My kids are rioting in the kitchen. This post is officially over......
