Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!

 Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.

 Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.

 So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin








. I guess I should be happy, that at least they did it in the driveway. Not the house?
Yes. This is my driveway.
I do try to look at the bright side of things you see. This could have been in my house, and it was not. And it was done with "washable" makers. I say "washable" because well, they don't really wash off as easy as something called washable would lead you to believe.... In fact, the driveway is still covered in handprints, and I suppose will be until it rains, a lot.

 So the boy got in trouble and daddy said the friend was going home. Clean up. Friend is leaving.... Then boy got upset, and was sad. Dadddy changed his mind and said friend could stay for ONE hour (which turned out to be like 3) I joked with daddy that the boy had him wrapped around his finger. HA!

 So then for dinner I thought I would take it easy. CROCK POT. My mom gave me this nifty separated one, 2 sides. I did chicken in one side, and apple cobbler in the other! Oh but I needed lemon for my recipe. I asked my dear dear husband if he would mind going to the store for me for just one item. His very smart, oh so sexy response? "Of course, I am wrapped around your finger too, I'd do anything for you... What do you need?"

 God-I love that man!

 So dinner turned out, Eh. I used some odd recipe for cobbler and I think next time I would just use my own recipe and just put it in the crock. For some reason I thought I needed to try a "crock pot" version. I don't think it was needed.

 Oh and what else happened this weekend? Well I am totally blessed with the greatest father in law ever, which I do think I have mentioned before. He came for a quick visit Sunday to look at our furnace, and guess what? HE FIXED IT! :) Ok so the gas line was never turned on, but EITHER WAY he fixed it, it works, we have heat!!!! YAY!!!!

 So that was my weekend, it was a pretty decent one. I am ready for a great week!

  1. well I have to say, I have yet to figure out what goes through kids heads and there is probably no explantion for why they do the things they do...I think they might be a little more complex than we give them credit for. But I will say this...the bowling pin is very pretty...

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...
