A Dying Art?
It's been much longer than I planned in between my blog posts. The days seem to just run into each other and the next thing I know another week has gone by and I'm not quite sure where it went. I've also been experiencing the doldrums lately and am trying to pull myself up by the bootstraps.
On to what I've been wanting to post about. Sometime in the past month-ish I went to put my favorite classical music station on the radio (K-Bach) and low and behold, it's been changed to adult contemporary! I went to the website and the following was posted:
"We thank the Loyal K-Bach audience for all of their support over the years. It is with great regret that we must tell you the station's format has been changed. We are now playing "all the songs you remember" in a new AC format."
It went on to say that the reason it had to change was that not enough businesses wanted to advertise on a classical music format station. This is the second classical music station in my area to cease to exist which makes my heart sad. While my musical tastes range from Bach to Metallica (and almost everything in between!) I've always derived comfort and peace from hearing a beautiful flute concerto or french horn solo. My kids also enjoy listening to classical music and would ask me to put the radio on "quiet music". I had to tell them that we no longer have "quiet music" on the radio. Of course, I have classical music downloaded on my iPod which we can listen to whenever we want, but it lacks the spontaneity of hearing what's on the radio and listening to the sometimes quirky ads.
Time for this classical music "geek" to sign off...good night!

Nap???
I'm now remembering part of what made Wednesday so aggravating. Twin #2 is acting like a nut and refusing to nap for the 2nd time this week. He is really reminding me of his big sis in her toddlerhood. The difference was then I "only" had one kid and we weren't tied to being anywhere and now we leave at the same time everyday to get my eldest from school. Little stinker is only going to get a 45 minute nap today.
Too bad, so sad I guess! :op

All's Well That Ends Well (I stole this from my sis!)
Yesterday was tough to be sure.
Today was a very busy day, but it was filled with little people, friends, family, chauffeuring kids, chocolate goodness and a precious moment with my older two. It is now ending with a clean kitchen (woo hoo! and not the norm around here) and a dent made in my financial/paperwork madness.
(happy sigh) ;o)

Pizza
Homemade pizza and a glass of 2 Buck Chuck make for a nice evening and relaxed momma! I have to admit that I have become narcissistic-ly addicted to my simple cheese and 1/2 pepperoni pizza.
(it's a little sad that this is my first post in a while, but all the same...)

#@*% Shoe!
I am *so* ready to throw this #@*% shoe out the window!
In it's defense, it is doing it's job. I'm just tired of walking slowly and almost tripping on the "mine field" that my house becomes by bed time...
