Holy Cow!?!

There seems to be a lot of things this week that have surprised me. One being that I am now realizing Luke understands me! When I ask him if he wants to go downstairs, he nods yes. Or if I ask him to go get his shoes, he goes and gets them. Its so amazing! Its sad at the same time because hes beginning to become a little toddler. s most of you know, I love babies. I love them so much, but I really dont like when they get older. That may seem harsh to some of you. I love kids, but the chattering and the tantrums and the talking back to me really bothers me. I dont know how to handle the older kids. I guess thats why I like babies. They dont talk back to you, they dont argue with you, and when they cry it means they really need something, not that they are throwing a tantrum because they cant have their way.

Second, I am SHOCKED at how big my stamp collection has gotten! Since our car got broken into, I feel like noting everything I have has become an obsession. I am paranoid of this happening again, but I want to be prepared if it does. For example, I was going through all my stamp sets and writing them down last night (NOT including the 52 I have up for auction on Ebay). THERE WERE 87!!! The sad part is that at one point in time, I had double that amount. It makes me so sad, really. How could I have spent so much money on all that. It doesnt even include all my supplies, either! It just makes me sick. What an expensive hobby!

Moving on... I am taking my "driving test" today. I lost my AZ drivers license at the airport and now have to take the written and driving test. How crazy is that?! I have been driving for 10 years. I really hope I pass. Wish me good luck!
