Too Much, Too Little...

Do you ever have so many thoughts racing through your head that you can't iterate a single one of them properly?

I do. All the time.

Especially the last two months, hence the lack of blogging. I have about five unfinished drafts saved about religion ("Fan or Follower"), moods ("I'm Grumpy"), disappointment ("Expecting Too Much?"), among others. I just can't seem to bring one thought all the way through to conclusion. It's so frustrating.

Maybe it's because we've been busy:

Sam is really enjoying preschool and was the class leader one day this week;

Sam is still going to weekly 30-minute sessions for speech therapy, though I feel he's kind of plateaued;

We all got flu shots;

We visited the Olentangy Indian Caverns (waste of money was the consensus);

We also visited the Velvet Ice Cream Factory in Utica (which was awesome);

Lena has been talking up a storm, some of which we can actually understand;

Lena has been cracking us up lately, too, showing her personality a little more (which is such a treat to watch);

The kids are all set for Halloween (Sam will be a Transformer and Lena a little bee);

We had a bag of rotten acorns tucked away on the kitchen counter that I forgot about, which created a very small maggot situation (the most disgusting, unnerving thing for a clean-freak, worm/grub phobic woman like myself);

Sam's class was exposed to head lice last week (that was a fun note to find in the bag after school);

I finished The Hunger Games trilogy and am almost finished with The Passage (both of which have also taken up a lot of blogging time);

Mom had a follow-up test and, so far, she's cancer free (AMEN!);

Mom also found the a doctor who finally diagnosed her trigeminal neuralgia and put her on a wonder drug that has relieved the severe facial pain she's been battling for over a year (double AMEN!);

Dad's busy season is as crazy as ever, but we have seen a little more of him this year than years past, which is wonderful;

We've only gotten to one game per nephew this fall, except Jack (hoping to catch his last one tomorrow morning);

Tomorrow afternoon is cousin Jill's wedding; and

Sunday is Grant's 5th birthday (what? when did that happen?).

Lot's going on at our house and in our family!

And lots going on in my head.

Maybe I'll be able to sift though some of it this weekend...though I'm not holding my breath.
