Nothing Much!

Daniel and his wife came to visit today. Dale, Daniel and my dad went to the movies and saw District 9, they all seemed to enjoy it. Dale smoked another pork butt and everyone ate dinner in our new dining room. Tonight, Dale and I are going to stay up late and try to get the primer on the walls. The yellow is bright, but I like it.
The kids are feeling better I guess, Jack took his last dose of steroids this morning (THANK GOD!!) and Hayden has 3 days left. Hayden is very very irritable which is to be expected I guess! No big plans for tomorrow. I cleaned out my room yesterday and Caitlyn's room today. I am saving the boys' room until Monday. Anyway, we are taking floor donations if anyone has any extra hardwood laying around!! It is sad to have such nice walls and a crappy concrete floor with paint all over it, but Rome wasnt built in a day, so I will have to be patient!!

Getting Ready For Tomorrow

This morning, we went to Pine Bluff and walked around the Flea Market. They really didn't have much, but the weather was beautiful and the kids needed to get out of the house.
On the way home, we ate lunch at Chili's. Hayden made us crack up because of the way he eats corn on the cob!! He eats it like a pit bull would eat a small animal..like he is afraid you may take it away from him!!
We got back home and OF COURSE, the older two went to MawMaws for a couple of hours. Dale and I put Hayden down for a nap and finished trimming the doors in the dining room (Happy Anniversary, huh). We cleaned up our mess and waited for H to wake up so we could go get the other two kids.
We made it back home in time for baths and getting things in order for tomorrow. I really am going to try to plan ahead a little better, it makes my mornings so much smoother.
That's all for now...back to facebook I go.

Beautiful Day!!

I had to work this morning...yuck! We were not that busy, sure we had our share of sick kids, but nothing like I was expecting. We actually got to leave around 11am. I went to MawMaw's to meet up with Dale and the kids. I played softball outside with the kids (Austin included) and then we played some kickball. The weather could not have been better!
We came home around 6ish and the kids got their baths and are almost in bed. Well, Hayden is asleep and Caitlyn is watching HS Musical in her room. Jackson...my little insomniac...is still awake. I went over to mom's for a little while and visited with them this evening. Dale was watching War Of The Worlds (with Tom Cruise) and I have seen it so many times already, but I guess Dale keeps watching in hopes that it will end differently or something. Tomorrow is our 11th Anniversary, I cannot believe it!! I really didn't think we would make it this far, but we did!! I am not sure if we are planning anything or not, my wallet says "NO", but who knows. I think we are going to Pine Bluff in the morning to look around the flea market, but other than that, I have nothing planned.

I DONT FEEL GOOD!!

I have a cold...just a cold...but I feel aweful!! I do not make a good sick person. Probably because I dont get to rest. I am crabby and obviously a little hormonal. Dr Stanford seemed determined to point out every time that he thought I could have said something nicer. I did NOT appreciate that at all!! Leave it to him to point out my shortcomings on a day that I feel like crap!! ha ha
Hopefully tomorrow will be better!! For now, I am enjoying facebook...okay Jennifer, you were right...I think I am hooked.

First Day of School...The Morning Part.

This morning went so well. What a nice surprise. Jackson woke up and immediately said that he needed his lunchbox. I told him that he needed to get dressed first! He got dressed and was READY to go. He always surprises me...when I expect a meltdown...I get NOTHING. When I expect him to be fine...he has a meltdown. Anyway, he walked right into his classroom and started coloring. It was funny because his teacher was making the kids wear nametags, as she was putting Jacks nametag on, she told him that she already knew his name! I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. I am sure that Mrs.Jessica warned her about Jack!! I was so proud of him. On the way to school, he told Caitlyn that the first day of school is always scary, but the next day is a little easier and the next day is even better. I thought that was nice because that is what I have been telling him for weeks. After he told Caitlyn that, he said "damnit," I about wrecked the car...I said WHAT DID YOU SAY...he said it again...and again...I said "Where did you hear that word?" He said that he heard it last night watching "Deadliest Catch." I had to explain to him that that was a terribly naughty word and he is NOT to say that EVER again. I think he could tell by the look on my face that I was serious. Hopefully, he will have a great day and be ready to go back tomorrow. Caitlyn, I am sure, will do great. She is a good kid and has a lot of friends. I will let yall know
