My boring life this week.

We're still waiting on a speech therapist this week, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel - I got a call from a guy who may be able to do six of the ten needed hours. I'll believe it when I see it, I'm so damn jaded.

The girls have been driving me CRAZY this week. They are so fresh, the "terrible twos" are most certainly here to stay. Dr. D. has been throwing things over the gates with gusto. All of my efforts to stop her have failed. In fact, on one particular day I completely snapped and smacked her on the hand. The next time she threw toys, she ran over to me and stuck her hand out, as if to say, "go on. hit me". If that's not enough to make you feel like worst mom ever, I don't know what is.

Miss Princess S. is the Queen of Defiance. She fixes me with a particular look, as if to challenge me; and I know she's pushing my buttons. I'm in for some trouble with her. The "time out chair" is definitely making a comeback here.

Looks like Labor Day weekend is going to be a washout. With the remnants of tropical storm Ernesto heading our way, along with another stormfront, the temps have dropped, there are gale force winds and strong rain in store for the entire weekend. Truthfully, its really quite nice out - its cool and breezy; and there's a whiff of Autumn in the air.

...But I'm not closing my swimming pool yet - something tells me we're in for an Indian Summer.

On a related topic, WTF is it with people wearing their PJs outside of the house? Believe me, I'm all for comfort. Most of my wardrobe these days consists of sweats, jeans and t-shirts. But I don't think I could ever sport my flannel PJ bottoms at, say, the mall. It just feels...wrong...somehow. And perhaps some of that has to do with my pushing 40. I guess I should leave the PJ-sporting to the youngins.

That's all I've got this week folks - enjoy the holiday weekend!
