Defective Goals

Do you know how hard it is to track down a doctor after they leave one office and your kid only wants THEM?!  

I didn't read all those Nancy Drew, 

Trixie Belden

and Vicki Barr books for NOTHING! 

 I tracked the good doctor down, found her on Facebook and sent her a message. 

"HEY...  Where are you AT these days??!"

AND she responded.  We'll be making an appt soon.  My kids really like and trust her.  She's actually a physician's assistant, but she really can relate to my kids.  Apparently she was a hippy type in college and knows how these kids think.

Speaking of being a detective.  I made my own sign to hang on our upstairs door when I was a kid.  Val's Detective Agency, with my home phone number.  My sister took a pen and made one little swipe to make it Val's Defective Agency.  

ha.ha.  She's SOOOOO funny....

In an attempt to get Leon coaxed off the computer without a fight last night, I sat on the floor next to the piano bench with two boxes of dominoes.  I started setting them up for a good tumble.  He happened to notice and ran over to TAKE over.  We made a few figure 8s and then built towers to see who could build theirs the highest.  The ones I built with fell first.  He made sure of that.  

Leon has an eye appointment today in prep for school starting next week.  Whew!  The last minute rushes are the worst.  We should have done this in July...  Oh well.  Only his dentist check up won't be before school starts.  That should be ok. 

But pretty soon, the house will be mostly quiet during the days (I'm trying to make myself feel better) and I can do whatEVER I want over my lunch breaks! BWAHAHA!

I'll probably sew more.
