Its a New Week

and its over half over. *mumbles*

Sickness has finally vacated the house. The kids are back in school... and so far the school hasnt called to have me come pick them up *fingers crossed we make it ALL day*

Today is the last day of preschool for Devil Child, she's moving up to Kindergarten. She told me this morning that she gets to eat in the cafeteria today, like the big kids do. She made it sound like this wonderful thing, such a huge accomplishment. I laughed. Im glad the little things excite them.

Today is filled with making copies of paperwork, finishing the pool so I can hook the pump up and get the water circulating, a trip to the post office, homework, working, a t-ball game (go Yankees!) and a second bathrobe order.


At some point I have 8 phone calls on my list of things to do. As you can see my motivation at the moment is to blog. I talk on the phone for work, Im not looking forward to automated systems and phone calls for other crap. However it must be done.

New liner and impatient kids!

Day at the Zoo

Its been a couple weeks ago actually, I just always seem to run out of time to post our latest adventures, so today is a 2 for one day... you get to hear about our Saturday at the Zoo, plus later you will get to hear about our Saturday at the parade :)



My intentions as always never went like planned. I had planned to take 2 kids to the Zoo, lil dude and one of the girls. What I wound up doing was taking lil dude and all 3 girls. Im sure it looked like a circus had arrived at the Zoo.

Baby backpack for Freddy, stroller for baby J, and hope and pray that devil child listened to me that day. It actually went pretty well, all things considered. The one thing devil child insisted on seeing was, are you ready for this? The FROGS. Not the lions, the tigers, the zebras. The frogs.  it matters not that we have frogs at home, or that you can actually touch or hold them in the backyard. The frogs were what she wanted to see.

It was actually fun watching baby J (who at almost 3 isnt really much of a baby anymore :( )  She was definitely thrilled by all the animals at the zoo, big and small. She minded (better than I expected) and even asked me yesterday to take her back to the Zoo lol.
