So I can’t believe I haven’t blogged in 3 days…and the last entry was that sappy video clip! Sorry, y’all.

I saw a posting on craigslist a couple days ago for a cheap 30gb video ipod and I jumped at the chance to get it. My old mp3 player that I slaved away to put my entire cd collection on now won’t turn on. We are still listening ONLY to ABBA in the car lately, kid’s choice, and that needs to change…fast. So I loaded the clown car (aka Volvo with TOO many kids in it!) and headed to Silverdale to meet this person, who would hopefully hold the key to my ABBA salvation. I met her, the ipod is great but I felt really bad. She was moving and had to sell it, she was young (19?) and I think she was leaving a bad situation. So, my gain and hopefully my money will help her get started in her new place. I have to be optimistic, I just have to be. Anyhow, it took me a little while to take off some of the heavy metal off of it (I’d prefer ABBA, even at this point) and now I have the daunting task of loading my cds. Dee and I have combined to have LOTS of music, most of it old school but we like it. So I haven’t been blogging, I’ve been putting cds in the computer and adding them to the ipod with every waking moment of my day that isn’t spent as the mama taxi.

I did take all the kids to their last swimming lesson yesterday morning….yippee…no more sitting in chlorine fumes for an hour then trying to dress slippery, wet, uncooperative children afterward! Since Carlos didn’t get to swim due to a technical error on the pool’s part, and Dee was home yesterday afternoon, I took him to swim after nap. He was jazzed to have some one-on-one time, even though he is not a fan of the pool. We had fun and even got a treat of Swedish Fish afterward!
