Back into the swing of things

Well I can tell we are back to school, early nights, homework, a briskness in the air, fog in the early morning, changing leaves, coats, backpacks, what other words can I come up with for the fall. Everyone is doing well Josh and Nic are out the door at 6:40 every day to catch the bus 5 minutes later, Joseph on the other hand gets to sleep till 7:00 before Charles leaves and then he leaves at 8:30. I am so thankful that Joey can get himself off to school without any problems, but I am also sad that he has to do this. So far so good the boys like their teachers and it is going to be a great year. C'mon Chant with me "It's going to be a great year" "it's going to be....." Ok so you don't have to but I am sure you get the idea. Well I need to go so I can get to bed 5 hrs isn't a good amount of sleep but it seems to be my norm.

IT'S FRIDAY YEA!

Well its another week gone, and I am thinking as I just had to finish getting school supplies that I didn't get before, we are almost into the middle of September, and that I am starting to see Christmas Items everywhere and I am thinking "oh my gosh" I need to start thinking about Christmas. Question- Has everyone already started thinking about it? Am I behind again and now I need to catch up? It seems like every year I fall behind and then at the last minute I am playing the catch up game.

Birthday Happenings

Well I thought I would tell you my birthday was awesome,
I had a friend take me to breakfast which was very enjoyable then I came home and we went to a picnic that was being given by one of the families from church. We went and ate way to much as you only can do at church functions where everyone brings something to share. The hostess made me a birthday cake and everyone sang and made a fuss (which I secretly enjoyed). =)
My family gave me gifts, all in all it was a great day.

Thank you to everyone for the cards and phone calls it was very appreciated.

  • Being "over the hill" is much better than being under it!
  • Wrinkled Was Not One of the Things I Wanted to Be When I Grew up.

What in the World

Ok I am sitting at the computer doing my normal thing, reading mail and such when Joseph comes in and goes "Mom I love the way your mint smells so much (I have spearmint growing in a pot on my back deck, it just keeps coming back every year) I could smell it all of the time "I go I know I love the way it smells too" then Joe goes no I shoved a leaf up my nose... Now I am thinking "Oh you did not"! Joe goes "yes I did" I am still at this point thinking he is joking with me, he says "I rolled it up really small and shoved it up there" I then say "well get it out of your nose" then he says "I can't" Now he has my full attention I go "lets see" I grab his head, start trying to see the leaf up his nose and exclaim shoot I can't see anything! Joe then says I can get it he then proceeds to stick his finger up his nose, I go "no don't you will shove it up further, go blow it out of your nose". So we go to the bathroom and he grabs some tissue and starts blowing. I go "let me see now, I will grab it with the tweezers if I have to" (I am thinking to myself now, how humiliating I am going to have to take my 10 year old to the ER to have a leaf removed from his nose when he should have known better) I cant see a thing I am pulling on his nostril to get a better view "grab me a flashlight" shoot I still cant see a thing " Joe keep blowing your nose. He blows some more, we repeat with the flashlight thing I am pulling on his nose he then says "Mom I will just sniff it in" I go "no you cant do that it will really get stuck then it will rot up your nose, then it will really stink" I am now starting to giggle but keeping my composure. Joe starts blowing again, I leave the room to find a better flashlight then he yells " Mom, I got it! It came out" I go in there and say "let me see" there is this leaf about an inch and a half long lying in the tissue. Now I ask, What in the world would make a 10 year old still stick something up his nose?
