When did it get to Thursday already?

Whoa! Did this week fly by.

I think what helped is that work was extremely busy on Tues. and last night and they completely knocked my socks off.

This morning was a rough morning. I was actually sore from running around last night and making sure all the patients didn't escape out of their beds and fall.....there were 8 of them we had to watch. I was sooooo tired and wanted to sleep in.....I was hoping and wishing that Paul would be coming home from working nights and take over...and then I realized....

NOPE...

he left for work this morning....So, I got the kids ready in 30 min. and took C-man to school just in time....he says before he gets out, "it's okay Mom, they'll start class even if I'm not there." Yes, so reassuring for a tardy!

Then came back to get ready for yoga and did a conference call with the other Homeroom mother re: valentine's party....we agreed with simplicity....exchange valentine's, limbo, and a snack..............after I got off the phone with her, I realized I was running late AGAIN!....

so off to Yoga with O fussing all the way....oh no! will this day ever improve? I thought.............

I remembered what my friend Amie said on the phone, that this is the morning that you want your mom to coax you through and say, eat your breakfast, take a shower and you'll feel better, just get up and get out of the house and it'll get better....that thought helped me out....I heard my mother and my good Lord coaxing me to just keep going to get over this little hump.......

In the end, I'm so glad we went to Yoga, it turned both of us out of our fussy moods....and now we're ready for the rest of the day....what to do? what to do? Cleaning? Laundry? It's all available!

Happy Thursday everyone! May you hear your mother and/or the good Lord encouraging you to do something that you really don't want to do today.

Funny Girl

This picture is the prelude to a cute, cute story.

I got home from work last night and I asked if Miss-O actually slept in the book case, because she started there for her nap yesterday. No, she didn't sleep in the book case for her nap, but she slept on the floor with her rain boots on....but no pictures were taken:(

Then Paul said that for bedtime, she actually did fall asleep in the bookcase and he had to move her to her bed......I asked her today if she slept in the bookcase and she said, uh-huh!

Usually, the bookcase is filled with books, but I'm amidst deep cleaning in the kids room and it's taking days to finish.....so things are all over the place and unorganized in the attempt to become organized....so Miss-O is embracing the moment and being silly while doing it!

Quotes of the Week

"How come I have to eat wiff my fingers?" Miss O asked eating her toast in the morning.

"I told the Lunch lady at Thanksgiving; that was the bestest feast I've ever had." C-man says at Dinner one night.

"How come I not my coat on?" Miss O asks when Mommy says that Grandma will be coming over soon to watch her.

"I don't want to wear my diaper, I want my princess panties." Miss O says on Thursday after I told a Mommy that O was not interested in potty-training.

"Just call me professor Jones, Mom." C-man says crawling on the floor...playing Indiana Jones.

"Mom, these legos don't have structions with them." C-man says playing with his lego ambulance.


Paul and I have shared some wonderful comments from the kids this week..hope you enjoy them too!

New Wonder

I have just discovered a new wonder..........FaceBook!
Interesting site! Get to connect and reunite with people I haven't seen in a long, long time.
It's a bit overwhelming....not sure how to manage my time yet on that site......
Do people really spend an hour on it?
I was looking at "my friends'" profiles and then would look at their friends to see if I knew them or not.
What a cool discovery, but I must limit myself to once.....no twice a week.........or I don't know what will happen!
Any advice out there, you FB experts?????
I'm still a rookie and didn't read the directions....are there directions?

Okay, gotta hand off the computer to my husband who is patiently waiting to get his Statistics homework done.

Mom's Scrapbook Club

9:30-4:30

My sister-in-law, mother-in-law and I scrapped at the Library.

It was advertised in the city's "Living" magazine in the calendar of events.

Michelle did some researching at the library and said that it was a nice, small group of women who gather once a month to scrap.

The three of us were there before anyone else got there.

A bit awkward at first when one arrived? Yes.

Inviting they were? Yes and we acquainted ourselves.

The common denominator that kept us acquainted; scrap booking & our children or(grandchildren).

So 11 pages were completed and 2 pages with scrapper's block.

When I scrap it's my "let out" one of the gals said I was glowing......yep, that's what scrapping does to me....I get to allow my creative juices to flow, document history of the children/family...chat with family and some great, new women, and have a day that's all about me!

So one of the women took our emails and will be including us into their group. How cool! They do fund-raising scrapping so it would be great to get involved into something like that......plus this would help me achieve my New Year's resolution/goal of scrapping once a month.

My favorite page!
Miss O's first Christmas, I have a lot of catching up to do!

The products of my time.....please note duplication of pages; one for C and one for O.

*SIGH*! I'm a fresh new woman!

PARTY TIME!

WE FINALLY HAD THE WINTER PARTY, IT WAS SCHEDULED A MONTH AGO BEFORE THE KIDS GOT OUT FOR WINTER BREAK, BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER IT WAS POSTPONED. HERE'S C-MAN AND HIS FRIEND ISAIAH ENJOYING THEIR ICE-CREAM MADE IN A BAG. THE KIDS REALLY LIKED SHAKING THE BAGS UP AND THEN EATING THEIR ICE-CREAM!
