Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!! Can't believe it is Wednesday!! Where is the week going? Once the girls are off to school, I just have a couple of inside things to do. Then, I'm going outside to pull some weeds - I really have been trying to get to the flower beds around the patio, but it has been RAINING for a week straight. At least the ground is nice and soft, so the weeds will come right out. I have a hair appt. at 10:45, then it is off to school for recess. I will come home to start dinner, and continue with my weeds. We have nothing planned for tonight, so I will stick around and get some stuff done with dh. Thunderstorms are predicted for around dinner time, so I don't know how much we'll get done.....

I'll stop in often today....

Good Morining! I was going to get to the lawn to day, but it is raining AGAIN!!! It was to just be "light showers" but it is pouring. I am so sick and tired of rain. I need to get the kitchen floor washed today, and then to pick asparagus-will be thinking of you girls while I'm out there. ;o) Then when the boys get home we go out and pick rock- yes it is just like it sounds, we drive up and down the field with a tractor pulling a hay wagon picking up the rocks that could break the combine if they would go through in the fall. We have room for more if anyone would like to help- it is great excercise! (only good thing about it, and the time I get to spend with the boys) About all here, have a great day everyone!

Tammy, your post made me reminise(sp) a little. When I was a kid I used to help (ok, mostly play) on my grandparents farm and after they plowed I would walk up and down the rows looking not for rocks, but for marbles and arrowheads. There must've been a native american community that lived on that land because we used to find gobs of them.

Rose, glad your birthday got better! Sometimes you can't depend on others to take care of you, you just have to do it yourself. What is it Dr. Phil says about men? You have to put the dots really close together and connect them with a bright red line? One of his more profound statements, I think.

OK, now about my day. It's gonna be sooooo busy. I've already given 2 baths, cleaned the kitchen, and folded 2 loads of laundry. I have to give ds a bath now, vacuum, get a shower myself, make beds, and ice those darned cookies. I couldn't bring them in today after all, which is ok. I'm just gonna take them in friday afternoon and then take dd with me when we're done.

I think the twins are coming down with the stomach bug. At least I hope they are. I think it's inevitable, and I want to get it over with so my weekend isn't so uncertain. I'm taking the kids to see Over the Hedge on friday and then to Build a Bear to make bears. On sunday we're having her family party, with pizza, cake and icecream and present opening. If the twins are throwing up, that's kinda gonna screw things up, obviously.

My IL's are coming up tonight with part of the swingset FIL is building, so I gotta figure out what to feed them. And dd has gymnastics at 7. I'M SO FRAZZLED!!!!

I won't be on the board much today, if at all. Hope I don't go through withdraw, LOL!

I had to wake up early and get ready to go with Andrew to school today. They had their rewards for 1st grade.
He got A honor roll. He was upset he didnt get more, but he will live

good morning everyone!


wow Mel, congratulations to Andrew, honor roll, how fantastic! btw, what higher award could he have gotten? I always thought horor roll was the highest they could acheive in elementary school?


Not too much going on today, trying to stay cool and stay out of the sun. We are going away for this Friday am for a few days to our cabin. Should be fun taking Jett on his first 8hr road trip lol. I really hope he sleeps most of the way lol. Other than packing stuff up and cleaning the house we'll just be hanging out at home today.

You know, Tammy, I just think it's so cool you live on a farm. Now how fun is that? When I was little, I always wanted a great big barn to play in. I'm sure it's a lot of work running a farm, though, but what a cool way to live!! How many acres do you have? Do you have horses?

You made me LOL about the asparagus! ;)

picking rocks...my favorite past time as a child. I used to have so much fun doing that. I dont think my cousins and I did a very good job of it, but my grandfather always took us out to the feilds with him to do it. Now that i think of it, he was using us as free labour lol. Anyways, brought back some great memories, thanks!

Good morning everyone!! Well, it's almost afternoon now. Nothing much going on here, except the rucus in my basement. It's a beautiful sunny day today. I never know if I should dress my kids in shorts in the morning or not, because it's cool in the mornings, and then warms up so much. I put Matthew in shorts for school yesterday, and it rained and he said he was too cold! Mommy guilt. . .

Jenna got gum in her hair this morning. Where she found the gum, I have no idea. She said "I don't know" when I asked her! I'm thinking Justin broke into my purse and took a piece, and she found it in the trash and chewed it, or he left it somewhere (ugh!) and she got it in her hair. What am I going to do with them?? She is way too young for gum (obviously. It's been in her hair). I had to cut it out of her hair. Justin, at age 4, is also too young for gum because he usually swallows it. Oh well, I guess he could be swallowing bells ;)

I'm going to go in to have lunch with DH at the hospital with the girls after I drop Justin off. Hopefully he won't call me when I'm almost there and tell me he's tied up in the CT Scanner like he did last time! And then later this afternoon, he's coming home early because I have an appointment.

I hope you all have a great day, and I'll be checking in on and off!
