Good Morning All!!! It is Thursday already? Where has the week gone? Another busy day, here! I'm spending the morning at home cleaning bathrooms - now, don't any of you get jealous of my morning plans, LOL! I'll vacuum and dust, too. Then I have recess duty. Molly had a school project to do last night (we made ice cream!!) and I'm bringing it in for her to share with her class after lunch. Then, I'll run home, eat lunch and go back to school for an hour to help the 3rd, 4th and 6th graders get ready for their program next Friday. Bus comes at 4 - run our little friend home and back home here for homework and supper. 6:30 I have to be at school for a meeting about children who are interested in playing string instruments (Katie wants to play the violin - pray for me, LOL!). Then home, to put the girls to bed. Did I mention dh won't be home tonight? He has a class for work and won't be home until 9p.m. Oh, and did I mention he works all day Saturday, too? Anyhow.....thats my boring day! Just running around with kids - I'm going to go crazy. Anyone care to join me? LOL

Load of laundry is in, dishes are almost done, and I've had a shower. It's amazing how much I can get done while Dylan sleeps now, it's like I am on super speed getting everything done before he wakes up. I even have a few minutes for some coffee!! yay!

Anyway, today my mum is coming to visit, so I'm going to try to vacuum before she comes over. Then I'll probably blog some things I've been thinking about, and finish up some siggies that i've been working on for the mommies over on my playgroup board. Then I have a couple papers to polish up and turn in for college. (Have i mentioned how much I love doing college online??)

After calling a lawyer and finding out she wants 150$ just for a consultation, (and I can't even pay the 20$ water bill, lol), I've decided to do a "do it yourself" divorce. I'll be looking around for some prices on those today too.

I think it's going to be a fairly productive day! I'm going to have to take some pictures of Dylan, he looks farrrr toooo cute today!!

Wendy, you've mentioned yummy food projects that Molly's had several times now. What class is this and how do *I* enroll?? lol


Not much here. It's nice out today, so once the dew dries I'll let the kids play outside. Sidewalk chalk and soccer balls finally will get use. Aryc was given some foamy balls (soccer, football and basketball) for his birthday...within 3 days he had chewed huge chunks out of each of them. ARG! By 3 I'd think he'd be done with it, but not so. Any tips, anyone?? He's chewing EVERYTHING - body parts, his shoes, his crib, his clothes, the couch, blankets (etc), all toys (even his brother's teething rings). I don't know how to get him to stop! He eats plenty, so he's not hungry when he does it. (In fact, he fills up on toys and won't eat his lunch, usually!) *ironic laugh* The only thing so far he hasn't tried to eat has been other people - thank goodness!! He's never been a biter, which is a blessing! But he spits a lot when he's mad. He does this gross thing where he has some toy that resembles a cup; he drinks a little water out of his sippy cup and spits it directly into the cup-shaped toy, then drinks it. It's gross! But again, I don't know how to get him to stop. He gets open cups at mealtimes, but that doesn't help him stop this. Relatively mild stuff, though. I just bought that Hard Surface Sanitizer, so I hope that stops these revolving colds we have going on. Thankfully so far I've avoided getting sick. It's just me and the kids, though, so I better not get sick - I have no replacement! When dh and my dad were here for their leave, they both got it from the boys! lol


Anyway. Not much else. Rearranged the boys' room, too. We live in a 2 bedroom right now, so they share a small room with two cribs and a dresser and not much room for anything else. A little pop-up basket for their maaaaany stuffed animals (most of which were once mine). lol :) Good to recycle.... I wish I could rearrange mine, but there's NO way. I already only have 2 feet of clearance on one side, and that's a lot of room for with what I have in there. Crazy. I'd love to be an interior designer, but I need more room to work with. I can't put up one of those beds that hides away into the wall when not in use - that'd be kewl though if I could. Ideally the closet would be gigantic and have built-in dressers in there, leaving only floor space for a bed, nighstand, and TV stand. But it what it

Good Morning/Afternoon, now! We don't have much planned today, the kids have been sick all week, so we have just been layin low so they get better and I've been getting a ton of cleaning done since we've been home :) Andrea,Im praying for you, I hope things workout for the best. Melanie, I know, divorces are expensive! I had to pay my lawyer $3600 and it's going to take anywhere from 8-12 months for everything to be finalized. Neither of us have filed for divorce yet. Anyway, my husband took a vacation and is due home today, trying to keep my composure so I dont bit his head off when he walks in the door...I hope everyone has a great day!
