Busy Busy Busy Bee Hive around here

It's a busy Bee Hive around here.

No not that kind of bee hive .......

This kind ....

I'll be back to blogging in a while....

things are OK here just busy, busy, busy!

I have a lot to tell you, stories, picture and accomplishments ...

but that will all have to wait for another day.

CRAZY HOT !

Yesterday as I was driving home (1:30pm) I saw something blowing in the road (a black topped road). As a car passed it swirled one way and then turned to go the other way.....I thought it was a leaf in the road.

As I got closer it was a RAT, that was CRAZY HOT. Spinning in road first one way and then then other way.

Yea, it just that CRAZY HOT here for the past couple of days!

(or was it a momma rat crazed from her children.... either way it was CRAZY)

What does a 100 get ya? a Nu Do!

When the temps get over 100,

I'm going for cool.....super cool.

Translation ... cut that hair off!

Momma gets a new Do!

Mom Taxi get color

Today I've ran the Mom Taxi (aka the G Cab)
for details go to G's blog, but ended up at the outdoor pool.
I have some color.....but what color is it?
bronze, tan, or PINK ~ I'll know more in the morning!

I know it won't be an even color ~ we only go late in the day and depending on what side of the pool we sit on that's the side of my leg, side of arm, side of my shoulder that gets the color! Oh, well it just adds interest! RIGHT?

confession time ~

In this post, I lied! Well, I only lied on the last line.

It seems that the leak wasn't found and it's not cleaned up.

It is organized (and not since there isn't anything under there)

but sitting by the front door!

I have capable men (but I must admit my faith is fading) on the job!

Flashback Friday

I could have a reinactment of this any morning!

but the short (short) dress just isn't as cute now!

Wordless Wednesday

Jamp??

Did you know that the past tense of Jump is Jamp??

No I didn't think so! but that was G's explanation of his new word!

We have this great new little game, Scrabble Slam!

We all play it, we all spell, and we all laugh.

What's that smell?

Sometime last week when I was sick, I discovered a smell.

A smell in the kitchen

A smell from under the kitchen sink

A smell that resembled rotten potatoes

Not rotten potatoes.

I kept it covered with baking soda &

prayed that no else would discovered the smell before I was well.

All was found!, All was cleaned, and all was organized!

I think I can start summer now

I think this is the day that I'm over that dreadful junk going around. I'm done sleeping so much, not quite done coughing but it's quieter.

I have track over with.

I have W healed.

I have daycamp over with.

Summer can start ....along with the summer chores!
My boys are so thrilled!

Doctor Mom

I've diagnosed W .... I don't think we would have ever known he had mono if he hadn't gotten something else, or I guess until he told me about the lumps in the glands.

I now think he got something else (of which I currently have and it's the pits) and we discovered he had mono, of which (other than the lumps in the his glands) he's not had any symptoms for! I'm sorry for those of you that have had Mono and had ALL the symptoms.

Mom I hope my wife can cook as good as you!

Isn't that just gold to a mother's ears? So much that I'll say it again, "Mom, I hope my wife can cook as good as you." Ok, I know what you're thinking .... the kid (W) hasn't eaten anything REAL food for a few days and this morning I made Blueberry pancakes. I'm no fool, I knew what I was doing, just lying in wait ready to make my mark.... and blueberry pancakes were the mark!

Taking the first train out of here.....

When I asked W if he was going to G swim meet, he quickly answered yes. When I asked him if he wanted one of his friends to bring him just in time or did he want to go with us an hour early, he wanted to leave with us! I was surprised at both, but I think he just wanted on the first train heading out of here! He did a light work out before the meet.

He said it hurt to blow out his cheeks.

I had warned him about 'him' not driving when on his pain meds and ride to the swim meet proved me right. I was glad.

The day before the swim meet was almost painful for all of us. G's excitement was over the top. He was the clock watcher all day He finally settled down for a lengthly game of Monopoly Junior.

He did very well for his frist swim meet.

He's only had 8 practices (he was out all last week due to camp)

The excitement is strong with THAT one

Little G is about to bubble over with excitement. Tonight is his first Swim Meet. Oh, drats he's discovered that I'm posting...... Gotta go....he thinks we should be leaving..... I'll be back with an update later!

Nothing Like Kicking him when he's down

Or is he down?? W had his wisdom teeth out this morning. He had some trouble with not eating (too much acid in his stomach) or the anesthesia. I (and the doctor) didn't know which it was but we did know he was throwing up whenever he sat up!

We finally got him home and he's resting quiet well, with the remote in hand.

Still I think I have more mono symptoms than he does.

Mono Update

I have to say that I don't see much difference in W's sleep pattern now than all last summer!
Just How Can Be?

I keep saying that "I don't think you're sick"
W's answer, "you saw the test strip"

I don't think he has a bad case of Mono or is almost over it???

Sympathy is over .... the yard needs to be mowed!
