Neuro-psych. eval. went "alright". The day consisted of many tasks for me to do. If you've ever watched the episode from ER where Dr. Greene is being evaluated for his comptetancy as a doctor, that's basically the jist of it...asked to remember words from list A, but not list B and list C but not list B, then I had to name as many objects that began with a certain letter, then I memorized patterns and patterns and was asked to recall those patterns by drawing them. Then I had to make patterns with blocks, then categorized deck of cards into 4 piles, then placed tiny pegs into their respective holes with right hand then left hand, solved math story problems without pencil or paper, added numbers in particular patterns, answered dumb questions in a profoundly idiotic way (wish I could take it again!) and then filled out long personality questionaire. I feel sad.
According to Jae, someone's "heard" my rant about sidewalk shoveling. All of a sudden, every single house, except one, has shoveled their sidewalk. Perhaps a complete coincidence. I'm hoping school will be cancelled due to the cold weather, but that kind of sounds whimpy. What do all those children in Wisconsin do when it becomes below zero? Do they miss half the school year? That would explain much. Ouch! Just kidding. I love Lake Geneva. =)
Anyways, I've become a big fan of shoveling. It's my sneaky way of getting a semi-decent workout with the possibility of pulling a back muscle badly enough to keep me out of commission for a month. Ahhh, lovely days claiming the couch. It also keeps the kids entertained. "Look! Mommy's sliding!"
Ellie's starting piano lessons in Feb. We are all a bit nervous, especially after she commented that she may get tired after 3 minutes of practicing. Well, it is every Korean child's dream to take piano lessons to confirm the notion that parents are "out to get them".

short day
Woke up at 1pm today. This rare occurence in nature has set me off balance. One would be happy, glad, joyeous to be able to get that much sleep without the husband calling for a search and rescue mission (either for himself or me), but dang nam it, I missed breakfast and lunch!
The rest of the day was just wierd for me. No church, no after church lunch, no interesting football games, no games at all, really. Just sat around drinking my pineapple/guava white tea.
Watched a new show about a couple planning their wedding. The whole premise of the show is if the couple can stay within their budget. Anyways, this bride is so darn annoying...she's all about trying to keep the wedding environmentally friendly except when it comes to her. Your typical self-righteous poser. Interesting what happens to completely normal women when planning their wedding.
Anyways, I hope I am able to survive the week. It's going to be a busy one. The Neuro-Psych exam is Friday and I'm feeling a bit nervous. I'll get the results of all my tests with my next doctor's appt. in Feb. Man, time flies!
Still missing Dad.

Play date
A Grand Celebration!
One of Ellie's last hurrah before winter break ends was to have a slumber party with her best friend, Tea, only Tea has a terrible night cough so she decided to spend a longer day with her instead. They had lots of fun. Ellie's also going to the aquarium...I'm sure Jae will post those pics. soon.
Without
Hooray for 2009. I'm going to make feeble attempts to look "good" in a swimsuit this year. I forget what my resolution was last year...i think it was something dumb like to learn something new everyday. What drug was I on?
Today's the day I go in for the EEG. I only forgot that I'm only allowed 4 hours sleep before the test so I am feeling quite exhausted.
Ellie has requested we take grandma to the aquarium today. Of course I won't be able to make it cuz I just love marine life. I just can't believe Jae's willing to go on an excursion with my mom, without me, with both kids. What's gotten into this man?

My Loss
The girls had a fantastic Christmas. Our spoiled daughter has handled gift opening with much more grace. Kate was just glad to open a gift of her own! =) Yet again, she managed to open Jacob's present. I think we will just leave it.
The funniest thing...Jae and I were talking about New Year's resolutions...one of his resolutions was to be able to touch his toes without bending the knees...he's got 2 more days to stretch those hamstrings...a very "reachable" goal. Ah...Jae's dry humor.
My blood work came back negative (normal) but despite it, I've decided to go ahead and get an EEG and a Neuro-Psych. Evaluation, just to be doubly sure to check the memory loss. I also need a yearly check-up. I don't know why, but I've all of a sudden becomed panic-struck over my health. Is this my early mid-life crisis? Hmmm...
Sigh...I'm not getting any younger either. I've been coughing for 3 weeks now...to the point where I'm now starting to fart when I cough and my stomach muscles are getting an unwelcomed workout. A loss of bodily function. Blah. I can't get 2 straight hours of sleep. My eyes feel hot.
It was quite depressing to watch the Broncos lose once again. Humiliating. I got so depressed, I decided to take a shower...then thought of more depressing things...like missing my dad's company as I watched the Broncos bury their own grave and also how my dad's face is missing from a family portrait we recently took and how I wished I could say, Happy Birthday to him, but can't.

My December Rant
It's about 1:30 in the morning and I'm thinking I shouldn't have had that last cup of tea. Can't get to sleep.
I'm dreading the walk to school tomorrow. The weather's been forcasted to be in the teens (high) but it will feel much much colder than that. I wonder if the schools close due to cold weather. =) Always thinking of ways to "get out" of a situation...bad bad mom.
Really, though, the walk to school hasn't been too horrible. At least the kids enjoy it. Ellie actually refuses to take the car to school...it seems ridiculous cuz we only live 2 blocks away, but man, when Kate wants to step into every single icy patch she can find with her short legs and Ellie's stomping in the snow, it feels like snail's pace and I'm wishing I kept those pink long johns my mom brought back from Korea. They were wretched little things, but ohhh...to be a mom....one HAS to make sacrifices.
And I have to majorly rant!!!! If your house is on the way to school and you know there are always children who walk to school past your home, shovel your damn sidewalk! It's utterly disgusting how homeowners near our school will come out to shovel their driveway after 4 inches of snow, but then NOT shovel their sidewalks! It just baffles me. Thank goodness, most of the neighbors on our block are very kind...and old. =)
Anyways, to look on the bright side...if I can handle zero degree weather, I can handle the rest of the winter...only a couple of more months of below 30 degree weather and the rest should be a breeze. I knew there was a reason why I gained weight....all that fat in my belly is keeping me warm. =)

News burp:
- Ellie is going to her first sleepover! We are all very excited.
- Kate learned how to pick her nose and then eat what was pulled from it. All of a sudden, I hear "smack, smack smack."
- Kate heard herself fart for the first time and then giggled like I've never seen. You'll recognize her 20 years from now by the lampshade on her head.
- I have no photos to post...Jae posts them on his blog before I do.
- Ellie is writing cute little stories at school...complete sentences and pictures and all!
- Jae keeps saying he's caught whatever virus anyone else has had. Apparantly, even his symptoms are shy!
- Jae is getting a better version of my laptop for Christmas.
- Jae is competitive
- I have not done ANY Christmas shopping!!! Lord, please help me!
- I'm craving chocolate croissants.

Advice
"Mom, how come you're not watching Food Network? You should learn how to cook."
"Mom, you should work out on your bicycle."
Is this my child?
