Who shares your birthday?
I share mine with:
Kevin Bacon
Marty Feldman
Angelica Huston
Steve Lawrence
John D Rockefeller
Nelson Rockefeller
and Jerry Vale.
Neat part is, I know all but one of those people, too (who the hell is Jerry Vale?).
Thanks to Motherdear for giving Callie the idea...and Callie for mentioning it.
C'mon people, easy blog post for everyone!

Thank you, Thank you Very Much..
Apparently Chip is due on Elvis' birthday, January 10th.
My chiro's assistant/receptionist -- who is a die-hard HUGE forever and ever Elvis groupie - informed me of this the other day.
I was slightly horrified as I missed the whole Elvis pandemonium and only think of this:
She was ecstatic because when she thinks of Elvis, she sees this:
She now calls me "Baby Elvis Mama".
Gah.
I really hope the baby isn't born on its due date.

Happy Birthday to the Wondertwins
My babies turn 14 today.
Where does the time go? I made this several months ago. Pictures aren't great as I wasn't sure how to use Mossy's scanner, but you'll get the idea.
You'll see why I want more kids.
And yeah, they're as awesome as they look. :)

Can't believe I haven't posted since August 29th.
Eep! Sorry about that...
Things here are moving along. The Wondertwins started high school last week and so far, so good. I tried to put the fear of the Semestered system into their brains by telling them how different it is than a term system (what they're used to). I told them that you simply cannot skip a night's homework or your screwed. They cram way too much into a four month period for you to get behind, so you had better stay on top of things!
Apparently I did this a bit too well. The Girl had a bit of homework to do over the weekend and when she realized she had forgotten the required sheet of paper at school, she nearly cried.
Whoops, bad Momma, huh?
My babies turn 14 on Wednesday. I cannot believe it. They are growing up too fast and I miss them. I'm sure, come January, I'll be happy that they're so independent, but right now, it's kind of sad.
Work is work... I've discovered (the hard way) that I am just not capable of working a 40 hour week on my feet anymore. I tried last week and halfway through my shift on Friday, I was not doing so well. I'm pushing it now at 36 hours. Hell, some days I'm pushing it just trying to get out of bed!
Chip is doing well as far as I know. If the expansion of my stomach is any sign, the child is growing at a phenomenal rate. The little one is kicking me more and more each day and Mossy finally managed to feel two good ones a few nights ago. I have to remind myself that while I've been feeling movement since week 11, this is all brand new for Mossy. His excitement is infectious and soooooooooooooo adorable!
I have another busy week at work (scheduled for 40 hours, but trying to knock it down to 36) and with the kids' birthday, Mossy's early morning trips to the gym (seriously, the guy is up at 4:50 or some such sick hour to get to the gym) and regular stuff, I'm not sure when I'll be able to blog again.
Hopefully I will manage to get on again before September 30th. I'll be incommunicado then for about 10 days as I'm heading to Newfoundland for a couple of days, just to help my Mom and Dad get home. Dad is going to do the 3 day drive and Mom and I are going to fly home on October 3rd and then stay at her condo until Dad arrives from Newfoundland. While I'm kind of looking forward to it, I'm also dreading it as my Mom isn't well and has deteriorated over the summer. It breaks my heart everytime I see her.
Our Prime Minister has just called an election on October 14th. Isn't that neat? Just over a month away and then it's over. No endless year-long barrage of campaign ads and disparaging remarks. I don't know how you in the States do it!
Nevermind the fact that Sarah Palin is one of the scariest women I have ever read about. I think she'll have the rest of the country turned into Jesusland before you know it...and God help you all!
That's it for now. I'm off to try to have a nap before I head to work at 1 pm.
Happy Monday, everyone!
