Potty training and Committees

Okay, so I am glad to know that Holly is alive and doing well. I miss you guys all so much. Especially when I have days like today.
Anneke is potty training, kind of. Andy doesn't want to deal with it, and since i am working all day it has been difficult. She wears her underwear over the pull-ups. Her underwear is Hello Kitty to match her Hello Kitty clogs. Doesn't everyone wish they had underwear and shoes that matched? Anyway, she is doing well, but this is the part I have dreaded since she was born.
Marcus is loving school and of course his best friend is a girl. Her name is Kiya and last night she told him that he was her boyfriend and Marcus just grinned and laughed. His teachers love him and say that he is quite advanced.
Marcus is trying to decide between being Superman and Pablo from Backyardigans. We already bought Anneke's costume, but now she has changed her mind. Since we are expecting snow here this weekend I am worried about being too cold on Halloween. Plus, I have no idea what I am going to wear.
The children's center at SUU is closing and I am so horrified and sad. That is how i was able to get my degree. The circumstances behind it are not good and I now have to write letters telling them to think about what they are doing to all the non-traditional students that need that service.
I am trying out for two committees in the next month. One for the housing I live in (you get $ towards rent) and one for Head Start so I feel more involved in Marcus's schooling. I am worried about taking more time away from my children.
Three days a week I walk with two girls that live near me. It is nice to have that break and chat. Also, it has helped me feel less left out of the loop than before.
I hope that's everything. I miss you guys and will write when I can.

Here We Go Again

Okay, it has been a long time since i last blogged. Not too many people were reading it and it was not worth the effort the uneventfulness of my life. So, about a month later I will post again.
Andy started school and spends most of his time reading for the classes. I was surprised that it is not more writing. He is still adjusting and feeling guilty not playing with Marcus. Poor Marcus does not start his school until next week, but comes to work with me when Andy is in class.
Anneke loves her "work", or child care. She is in the Penguin room and her favorite activity is easel painting. She is very tall and the only little girl around here. She has a big baby named "Connor" that she takes with her when she can.
I had a horrible day yesterday, but today is nice. It is quite cool outside and drizzly, my favorite weather. I have started trying to walk 3 mornings a week with some of my friends. We go about 3 miles. It is nice to have the river path to walk along. I am just afraid it won't last. Things like that never do with me.
I am re-reading all he Harry Potter books and watching the movies after I finish each book. I am excited for movie 5 and book 7! I met someone today who has not read the books and I was amazed.
Well, I have to return to work. My break is over. I miss you guys and would love to know what Holly, Bonnie, Danielle and Scott are up to. Hey, USF is doing one of my favorite musicals next fall. I want to come so badly!
