4: number of hours of sleep I had last night. Note to self: chocolate before bed? Not so good.
3: the number of zits I woke up with this morning. Note to self: chasing chocolate before bed with 2 huge glasses of cow's milk is also a very bad idea. BAD.
1: number of times Connor compared my new horns to that of a Triceratops.
4: number of times I looked in the mirror and was reminded why I don't do the dairy thing.
3: number of times I got growled at by one of my kids for calling him by the other kid's name.
2: number of times I spoke to Levi on the phone today!
3: number of times I lost the cordless phone, my cell phone or my apple(?!) in all the chaos of the day's activities.
3: number of times my heart cracked open a little bit today because of something one of the kids said about how much they miss Levi. (or the Christmas Tree...post for another day!)
1: number of times I cried today. (getting better!!)
131,426: number of times I thought about Levi and missed him. (roughly)
17,837: number of needles that fell on the floor when taking the decorations off the tree today.
23,674: number of needles that fell on the floor as I dragged the tree outside.
2: number of needles left on the tree.
7: number of hours spent sorting through books in computer/exercise room. Not only are they now sorted, they are also shelved and categorized by theme,subject and um... in descending height...(I know, I need to get out more)
324: number of books I put on the new shelves for the kids. (I wasn't kidding when I said they had hundreds of books!!)
53: number of books we are donating to the library or hospital because we have doubles or have "moved on" since getting those books.
58: number of books I have to toss out because of damage from dampness (long story, we're not gonna go there tonight), crayons, teeth(??), torn covers, age or other.
435: total number of books I have in the same room with me right now, and I'm a bit giddy knowing that this number does not include any of the books on the "grown up" bookshelf in the sitting room (there's lots there!!), nor does it include any of the books or magazines the kids or I have in our rooms or closets!! (Nerd much?)
6: number of hours of sleep I will get before Connor comes tearing into my bedroom with his Diego pillow/doll thingie and Lion Keekee (sookie blanket) flying behind him if I go to sleep right now!
SIXTEEN: number of years ago I attended the birth of my little sister and earned bragging rights as The Very First One To Hold Her. She was a beautiful baby and has blossomed into a stunning, intelligent young lady. I'm so proud of her for who she is and who she will become! Happy Sweet Sixteenth Kayla! I Love you!
