School Daze!!!

WOW!!! I thought it would get easier to drop my kids off at school each year but it doesn't. :( Eventhough I planned for this day all summer long, it was still a little sad. I had all last school year alone too, but today seemed a little more lonely.

They both had a really good day at school and seemed to enjoy themselves.











We decided to go get an ice cream treat from braum's after school since it was such a great day.


Here's to a great year!!!!! YAY!!!!

SKAT

Okay so you might be wondering why I spelled the title wrong. Let me splain, SKATE is now a four letter word in our home. Okay now that we have that cleared up let me tell you about our exciting SKAT trip.
First, my most favorite thing about skating are the cute, hip, sexy skates. SUPER COOL!!!
Anyways, it was a crazy trip, a friend of mine asked if I would watch her kids so being the great friend that I am(lol), I said sure AND they can come skating with us. Everyone was sooooooooooooo excited on the way there and couldn't wait.
Then the fun began...I'm pretty sure we traded skates at least 48 times. I'm also sure I laced up all 48 pairs of skates.



I think, "these hurt my feet" was said at least 48 times. Anyways you get the point. The place closed at noon and at about 11:48 most of the kids had the RIGHT skates on, were skating and having fun. GOOD TIMES...GOOD TIMES!!!

JEDI MIND TRICKS....

So, it all started yesterday with a simple question. I was on messenger and noticed Jacob's headline which read, "Today is a Great day!!!". So, I asked what was going on and what he meant. He told me it was "the secret". I was like oh brother and pretty much forgot about it until he got home from work, then he started telling me about "the secret". He told me I had to watch this movie with him about and was acting really weird. Okay so not weird just really happy, too happy, you know the type, right? Anyways, late last night while playing a card game we start watching "the secret". It's basically about the law of attraction which means...you attract what you feel and what you experience with your own thoughts. So anyways, Jacob truly believes that this in part is what made him be able to walk again, this Jedi mind trick of sorts. lol. He doesn't like it when I call it that but I like it!!!! Anyways as soon as they told him he was paralyzed he began in his mind to walk and did this until he was actually able to. So, last night when we were playing our card game, I kept winning, and winning and winning. Jacob kept questioning this and I just told him oh, I'm just using your Jedi mind tricks and it's working. Now, I poke fun at this but at the same time it intrigues me a little, you know for DANG sure I'm gonna try it on some things.
I woke up this morning went straight to the mirror and started repeating 20 times or more, "I have a clear face, I have a clear face.....". I'll let you now if it works, oops I mean when it works!!!

Happy Birthday Brayden!!!!

Although you were born on a Friday the 13th, you have brought nothing but good luck to our family. I can't believe you're eight. Time flys when you are having fun!!!!
One of my favorite memories of you was when you were just a little under two and we were trying to teach you to not say the word stupid anymore. You caught on quick and went around calling everything STUP(stoop) instead. You always have been a smart one!!!! Hope you have a great day full of fun and surprises. I am so proud of you, I'm so lucky to be your mom!

Simple Question

I ask a simple question, the truth I only wish are all fishermen liars, or do liars only fish?
This is what was on a sign in our cabin, which I read almost every single summer for 20 some odd years. It took me until about the age of, um I dunno maybe 12 or 13 to even get it, but I always repeated it for several days after visiting the cabin. It was so catchy and fun to say. Well, i come to you today with a different question, one that is not as catchy, yet still fun to say. Now before I ask this question, let me preface it a little.
1. Bad Mood
2. PMS
3. ANNOYING PEOPLE
4. Some sort of CRIZAP growing on my face for the last 2 months.
5. DUMB doctors that can't figure it out.
6. Tired Children
7. Missing my friends!!!!
8. Tired Me
9. Summer is ending
10. Just life in general
Okay that should be enough, although there are plenty more excuses.
Alright so here is the question....Are you ready?
Here we go!!!!
I ask a simple queston, the truth you must display, is one piece of cake enough or is it bad that I ate 7 today?????
LOL!!! Well there ya have it folks, my day in a nutshell. Now i must go sleep it off.

GOOD TIMES!!! GOOD TIMES!!!!
