Forgive me Blogger, I have sinned. It has been nearly two weeks since my last half-hearted blog entry and a good month or two before that. My sin? Oh yes, I am a big fat liar. I said I was allergic to lake-water, and I no longer believe that to be true. I think I'm allergic to some sort of airborne something or other and, yes, it was probably in the lakewater I inhaled, so there may be some truth to the preceding post, but nonetheless, please, please, please somebody make me stop sneezing!!!
Last night's conversation:
Ethan: Mom, why do you have kleenex stuffed up your nose?
Me: Because I've been attempting to do the dishes for the past three hours and can't make any progress because I either start sneezing uncontrollably, or snot runs down my face every 10 seconds to the point that I must stop the dishes and blow my nose, or go insane.
Ethan: Oh, that's weird.
I get allergies like every 7 years for some odd reason. So it's always unexpected when it happens. In an ironic twist of fate, the last time I thought I had allergies, I didn't. But I did spend a small fortune on every allergy medicine known to man in the process of determining I didn't have allergies. And fortunately, I saved them all. So today I'm doing much better thanks. It's either due to the heat that caused me to close my windows and turn on the AC, or the pricey nasal spray or one of the several fancy allergy medicines I've ingested recently. Regardless, I think I'll keep it up. Except I'm sort of out of energy and depressed, which could be because of the medicines, or just PMS. Hard to tell.
So back to the random blog post.
I signed Elliot up for preschool. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. Ask me in a couple of weeks. He's excited. Tonight I started filling out a questionnaire for it. It instructed me to ask Elliot the questions and write down his answers. Well, they asked for it. My favorite one?
Who do you live with?
Dad, Jen, Jesus, Heavenly Father, Ethan, Daisy.
I wrote it down because I thought the response was cute. Then went back and thought it might just make the teacher think we're some sort of religious nut-case of a family. But then again, maybe we are.
They also asked for picture of Elliot. So we got out the camera and started taking some shots. People tell me Elliot looks like me. I'm not always convinced. But when I pulled up these pictures that to me, don't really look a lot like him, they reminded me of a serious of pictures I took last year of me that didn't really look too much like me, or so I thought. So, maybe in those moments that we don't look like I think we look, we look alike. Did that make sense? See for yourselves:
And yes, I suck at picture placement, but I have other, more interesting skills.

I love the grass on your blog. And he absolutely looks like you. I hope he loves preschool. And Jesus lives at my house too.
You totally suck at picture placement. But really, don't work on it. You have better things to do with your time.
And your other talents are waaaaaaay more interesting.
I've missed you! Glad you're back. I am, too. I think. Back, I mean.
Sorry to hear about your allergy problems. I must admit though, I would love to see you with kleenex stuffed up your nose. I loved your response to Ethan about that.
I do think that Elliot looks a lot like you. I hope he has a terrific year of preschool.
