The good: A is done with OT. This came out of left field this week. His OT called and said she thought he had progressed to the point that he didn’t need to continue coming this summer. We’ll have a confab this fall, but for now he’s done. Today was his last session. I’m still stunned, but absolutely thrilled. I’m so happy he’s doing so well, but also over the moon that we’re done because we can really use that $300/month for things like gas. And food. And utilities. You know, the disposable income stuff.

The bad: Summer camps for the boys are over. We still have 7 1/2 weeks of summer left.

The uuuugly: We’re about to start tearing Tom’s office apart. His company is completely shutting down next week to start up their new computer system and this gives him the time he needs to completely gut his office, paint (and sweet Jesus, vacuum…you could get lost under the dust in there), assemble the office furniture he is picking up right this very minute, and toss everything that doesn’t fit. I don’t like clutter and even though it’s his office, I’m tossing anything that’s not nailed down. He’s got stuff in there he hasn’t looked at since we moved in almost five years ago.

With all that in mind, I’m still burning CDs…sigh…

More music recommendations! Just, please, no kid music…my ears are bleeding.

Oh my hell I have a lot of CDs. I’ve been burning my CD collection into iTunes this week almost non-stop and I’m nowhere close to being finished. If I’m really lucky, they’ll be done tomorrow, but it’s probably going to be Sunday at best.

Jen, really, you can’t have THAT much music!

Heh. You’d think. Let’s check, shall we? iTunes is telling me I have 4317 songs, 20.63GB, and 177.6 DAYS of music. One hundred seventy seven DAYS! DAYS, people! I have so much music on iTunes right now that I could listen all day every day for roughly six months and never repeat. And I’ve barely started the classical CDs.

No more CD purchases. I have to store these damn things after they’re in iTunes. I’ll buy WALL-E this afternoon.

Quick digression…my sons are WALL-E “experts” and it’s driving me insane. the movie has been out for 11 hours and they know everything. Sigh… Yes, we’re going to see it tomorrow, they had to earn it and they did. And then we’re going for sushi. ‘Cause my kids rock.

And back to the music.

Am I over the top when it comes to music? Please, someone, tell me you have more on your iTunes. My poor iPod is going to cry when I sync it after all this. Granted, it’s an 80GB iPod, so there’s plenty of room, but it’s gonna wig out ’cause I’ve never had that much on there.

Oh, and the category I don’t have much of (and will be deleting shortly)? Children’s music. Does.Not.Belong.On.My.iPod. Oh, except for the Johnny Cash Children’s Album. That’s pretty cool.

Still taking music recommendations. ‘Cause I don’t have nearly enough music.
