"For He's a Golly Good Fella!"

One more interview and we are in......SEATTLE.

"....ooh ah, incredible..."

WAITING. The last frontier.
Or atleast, it feels like it.
Need to expel some of the drama weighting down my insides.

BJ has graduated with his BA finally.
Tick VG. Check!

Now is the time for looking to the future.
BJ had mentioned Japan.
So the last two weeks we have been planning, and making it a possible thing.

Yesterday, due to some EXTRAORDINARY events, including an angel hitting the print button on BJ's computer TWICE, we are possibly moving to WA! Like as soon as we can!
INSANITY. ANGST. SO much ANGST it should be spelled ANGXST.

Waiting is NOT Clair's favorite. NOT AT ALL.
So things are being put in motion, like resumes being sent. Plans for moving being written on paper.

But mostly there is waiting. This will be a slow process over the next few months, with a few spots of crazy times. And then there will be no more waiting. There will be progression. And longtime-weights being lifted off our shoulders. Debt will be taken care of, bills lessened. CRAZY TIMES.

CRAZY TIMES.

This is how I like life.:)
love
me:)

"I love to laugh...ha ha ha ha...."

"More than words"

BJ has been on the phone speaking Japanese for the last hour.

Why you ask?

Because in Japan it is already tomorrow afternoon.

Who was he talking to?

JAPANESE UNIVERSITIES!!!

In 2012 BJ might be entering a Japanese University to earn his MA.

OMG8R.

I am soooooo FREAKING EXCITED!!!
You have no idea.
I can't think about anything else.
I AM SO EXCITED!
You may come visit.
:)

"We are ALMOST the Champions my friends.:)"

Beloved has THREE days of school left. THREE. Also, it is the end of the month. For base pay+commision pay people like us, that means a whole maniac of stress come end of the month. So today being the last day of the work month, and only three more days of BJschool. WE ARE A BIT ON THE STRAINED SIDE. ANd it is Golden Son's birthday! Two years ago I gave birth to my son right over there in the corner of my living room surrounded by people I love.

Today CLAIR is incoherrant. She is stressed and blessed. She is on the verge of a nervous breakdown(see the beginnings of a nervous tick?:). She is so happy how things are, and happy about the next step of our life, but she is kind of crazy right now in these last THREE DAYS. So should she not seem normal to you while you happen to be conversing, or should she say something not quite right. Please ignore, and remember she is literally insane...for the next THREE DAYS.

Call her on Tuesday when she has returned to normal.

Oh yeah, call to congratulate BJ too.:)

ps.Just so you don't ask me in the next three days while I am crazy and stressed. BJ is finishing his BA. THen we are taking a hiatus from school so Clair can finish her MH(next June!) and BA(next Dec 2010, or Jan-ish 2011!), and so we can pay off some of our debt. Then it is off to grad school for the Boj (and maybe the Mrs.:)! Hurray!

THE REAL END.

"this salad rocks!" and so do I:) OR "I'm so vain, yeah I know this song is about me..."those are the words right?:)

Ohmygator, I SO rock.



I have been kicking trash all week with deep cleaning/deep organizing my home.


I have been doing so much, I can't even tell you.


Just take my word for it.
I SO rock.:)


Maybe you can come visit me in a week when I recover....;)


Meanwhile, it is now time to cuddle with Beloved and watch us some super freaky THE LOST WORLD.


Yeah, that is as "horror flick" as we get. (I think it is pretty DANG freaky.)

love,
The Amazing Clair

"Happy Birthday dear Baby Alice!"

Today my littlest baby turned one. I was completely surprised by the overwhelming emotions that surfaced from this occasion. I love our Baby Alice so SO SO much. I am so grateful that she is in our family right now. She is one of my greatest sources of peace. We love you Baby Alice.

So here are some interesting things about BA(what we call her for short-Baby Alice:)

-Whereas Jane was a super mommy from the time she came out of the womb, BA is not all that interested in babies. But she LOVES books and trying to figure toys out. She loves stacking, and opening, and putting things away. She LOVES figuring things out.

-My first two babies were walking around 1. Baby Alice BARELY started taking her first steps last week.

-My first two kids had eight teeth by eight months and teethed like MANIACS(and truly turned US into maniacs with all the sleepless nights:). BA only had 6 teeth at eight months, but now she almost has all of her teeth. She is THE EASIEST teether in the world. She is so calm!

-My favorite time with BA is when I am holding her and rocking her to sleep in the mei tai. She plays pass the pacifier with me, and we just get to be peaceful together. I always feel, durring those times of quiet, that we are teaching eachother how to still our minds, bodies, and spirits together. I treasure these times everyday.:)

-BA smiles SO BIG. It looks like her face is going to tear in two!:) SHe loves to laugh and play.

Baby Alice is such an angel, and we love her so much!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
