A week off of mom

 Well almost anyway. This week my kids went to camp! 6 full days. They are still gone in fact. They come home tomorrow at noon! I can't wait to see them. I was seeing and hearing mirage children at the grocery the other day... Thats how much I miss them!

 The first two days they were gone Tim and I had the day off. We went to Eureka springs. It was nice to drive by something and just STOP and go look just because, or to just TAKE OFF and go when we wanted to. We had lunch both days and it was delicious! We had a nice time together as husband and wife, instead of mom and dad.

 Of course Destiny was home, well the few nights she spends AT home she was here... OF course she tried to make up for the other kids being gone playing her teenager games she plays... We got over all that and last night spent some time together too, and it felt nice to just sit and chit chat with her. Looking at her talk, I could still see the "baby" she used to be in her now grown up face. Its crazy how fast they grow.

 So the kids get hom tomorrow and I cannot WAIT to hear about what all they got to do! I have seen pictures and it looks like all the kids had a BLAST! I cannot wait especially to hug and kiss my babies! 6 days was a LONG time without being able to even talk to them!

 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!?" ...
