Questions
Why can I compose all these great (in my mind anyway) blog posts on my way home from work, and yet when I sit down to type them out, they vanish into the ether?
Is it me, or does John Travolta’s eyes in the Hairspray poster freak other people out too?
Why is 5 and a half kicking my butt? Everything is a drama (or at least a minimum of a half hour of crying huge tears while rolling around and throwing things – especially when overtired and/or hungry)…
Why is it already August 1 and we haven’t done half of the fun things on our to-do list for the summer?
Why is it already August 1 and school starts the 29th? When we haven’t yet gone to get measured for uniforms or tried on last year’s to see if any will still work? Or started shopping for school supplies?
Why do I read certain message boards and freak myself out about things like airfares, when I know perfectly well it will all work out because it’s vacation, for crying out tears?

Wow.... 5½ girls and 2 year old boys sound an awful lot alike...
Who knew?
Mrs Big Dubya, I think I'm being paid back for thinking 2 wasn't that terrible (because really? It wasn't for us)...this however is giving me nightmares about the teenage years!
5 1/2 is tough at my house too. He doesn't throw things, but he whines a lot, and refuses to acknowlege he is responsible for at least part (in some cases, all) of the perceived injustice inflicted on him. And yet, I prattle on in my blog about how much I'll miss him when he starts kindergarten this month.
I finished my school supply shopping early, as well as the uniforms, but that's because school starts so early here: Aug 10 for Sons #1 and 2, and Aug. 20 for Son #3.
My summer To Do list is woefully incomplete. We wanted to see the latest Harry Potter flick and take a short trip to the beach. I have once week to manage that. The movie, maybe. The beach? Nah, that's not going to happen.
Sounds like we're in similar boats, Elle!
Your guys go back early (compared to here) but get out earlier too.
