Things I've Learned This Week. . .

1. My computer hates me. It will neither let me order DVDs to fulfill a commitment, nor post photos on here. Maybe someday it will stop being a big butt.

2. Jackson thinks mommy looks like a vomit bag. Regardless of when he last ate, be it 2 minutes or 2 hours, I get spit up on. It has now gotten VERY old.

3. A peanut is a seed.

4. At night, plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

5. I skipped 1st grade. I have never been able to remember going to first grade and after talking to my Uncle David about it, I now know why. I didn't go to first grade. How cool is that? Of course, it would have been cooler if I would have also graduated a semester early, but oh well.



Updates:
Mark: He is sick, again. This makes the third time in six weeks. I'm so over it, because when he gets sick all he does is whine (he is not a happy sick-o), I get no help with Jackson, which wears me down. What's a girl to do?

Sierra-Lynn: May possibly be a future fashion designer. We recently bought her a V smile pocket. It came with a "Cinderella" game, that she loves. One of the games is a dressmaker game, it just happens to be her favorite. She is also back in Girl Scouts, and loving it. She is making new friends. I just wish you could all see her face at the meetings.
Schooling her is going great, she just loves to learn. In science, we are learning all about plants, and in history/geography she is learning about the continents (her 2 favorite subjects). We just got her "band in a box" in and she loves it. I wish that I could say the same about her "I can play piano", I like it though so it was worth it. I can finally learn how to play an instrument. ;)

Jackson: Well, he is still working on getting his teeth, somewhere between 4 and 6. He fights you when you try to look. If you try to feel them, he bites you. He can now roll onto his side and has rolled over a couple of times (on mommy and daddy's bed, or off a pillow while on the couch). He is a pre-sitter, if only I could get him to stop kicking the pillows away from him. He at least sleeps through the night (most mornings until 5 am, but occasionally til 6 and once until 7).

And lastly, Me: I am exhausted. I don't stay up to late, I just can't get to sleep when I get in bed. I guess that I need to find a good way to wind down. Any ideas? No naughty ideas though.

All of us were looking forward to Easter egg hunting with Aunt Dee Dee, Aunt Becky, Uncle Justin, Uncle Mike and Hannah, but I don't think that the whether is going to cooperate with us. They are calling for rain, starting tomorrow. Happy, happy, joy, joy! (Note the sarcasm.)
