So my daughter heard from a "friend" that there is no such thing as the tooth fairy. She went directly to my husband to find out the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. After indirectly answering the question ("What do you think?"), my husband finally had to admit the truth. My daughter was sworn to secrecy and will not reveal the Great Secret to her brothers.
Her reaction? "I wish you hadn't told me."
Growing up sucks.
My five for today:
1. As least Santa Clause is still real...
2. The smell of rain in the air.
3. The smell of Pie Pizza and Macadamia-nut cookies in the office.
4. My bus route goes through the Avenues. I don't think I'll ever get sick of looking at the houses.
5. Comments in my comments section (hint hint)

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's Off to Work I Go
Some people (hi Nancy!) wonder if I actually do any work at work. Why, I make work sound so fun, with movie viewing, music listening, fun food and good times. But let me just ask you stay at home moms out there: when was the last time you had an entire HOUR for lunch all by yourself? An hour when you couldn't work on your regular tasks? I KNOW! NEVER!!! So, although I would not choose to work full-time if I got to choose, and don't care for the commute, and miss my kids terribly, I will take advantage of one free hour to bake cookies, watch The Office, go for a walk, or blog. I'm going to make the most of this hour lunch break.
What do you guys like to do in your free time?
My Five for The Last Half of Yesterday and The First Half of Today:
1. FHE. I tell ya...I love Monday nights. Last night we had mint chocolate chip ice cream and helped our old neighbors move into their beautiful new home. I was jealous beyond belief. But very happy for them.
2. Eight uninterrupted hours of sleep last night! Bed at 9:00, woke up at 5:00. Bliss.
3. My daughter lost another tooth. Toothless kids are the cutest. Ethpecially when they lithp.
4. TV free week at home. My kids have made a goal (with the school's help) to not watch TV or play video or computer games for a week. I'm SO glad I can watch The Office at my office. I wouldn't want to be a bad influence at home watching TV in front of them.
5. The newspaper. Some people wake up with caffeine, I just need the paper. It's my morning ritual to read and eat breakfast. I feel lost without knowing the latest on the FLDS situation. (Kidding...)

Monday Five
I have nothing cool to say today. But I did dream about killing spiders as my current career and I remember thinking (in my dream) "wow, what a great blog this would make..."
Anyway, here's my five for today:
1. My friend at work figured that our toaster oven can make cookies. AND she had cookie dough. Fresh and hot chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for lunch!
2. Being able to watch The Office at work on the internet (on my lunch, of course). Last week's episode was quite funny!
3. Going for a walk on my morning break. The U campus really is pretty (if you bypass all of the construction).
4. Going for a Sunday walk. I love those!
5. Phantom of the Opera music. My boss has been playing it (and letting me play it, too) and I LOVE IT!
