well it's back to work. The last 4 days off have been very relaxing. Of course I didn't get as much done as I had hoped to. I need to find my motivating muse. I did a pretty good job keeping the house clean. I just didn't get my projects worked on. Oh well there is always next week. I am dreading going to work today. I am sure everything will be fine. It's just my nerves acting up because I called off on Monday.

Ok wish me luck.

I wonder how many rumors they started while I was gone???

Me ...For Sale??? (part duex)
Upon Sarah's advice I am going to try to focus my creative energies. I have a decent spending allowence that I usually waste on going out to lunch or books that I could get another time. Well I am going to *try* to save my allowence and use it to purchase things for my bliss.

I have always had a passion for hand tinted photos. I decided about 2 years ago I was going to learn how to do it and on top of that I was going to learn to use a camera. Not just a point and shoot. So this past Feb. I got my camera, a Cannon Rebel. I haven't learned all the features yet but I have been playing with it. I don't really intend on becoming the next Ansel Adams, but I would like to take nice pics and turn them into neat works of art. On that note...

My beloved Sarah (always full of good ideas) suggested I try to get my pics displayed at Barnes & Noble or Borders. Something along those lines.

So now I need to compile a portfolio. I have 2- 8x10's that are done and several others I would like to get enlarged. I have been practicing on 4x6 glossys. I hope to be able to have things ready by..let's say end of July. I really don't need much in supplies. A new box (Prismacolor by Berol-for those of you who are b-day shopping for me) of pencils and I think I could be on my way. I may try to dabble into other mediums such as watercolor or acrylics. Maybe even oils. We'll see.

On another note, I also thought I would be neat to offer a hand tinting service. You know people could send me the picture and I could do the work, for a minimal price. But that maybe a little far ahead of where I am right now. Does anyone think this is a lame idea. Or do you know a place where there is a market for this type of thing?

Hungry
Ok so I am suppose to be finding something for dinner now. Guess I'll get to it.

Roam if you want to ..Roam around the world..but it will cost you
AHHHHHH!!!! We just got the cell phone bill. Roaming charges for me were $134.00. That is on top of the monthly charge of $40.00. Oh well.

Color me...for sale??
I have been working on some of the photos I have been meaning to tint, today. I showed a finished, framed and all, one to Steve. He said, "ya know I think you could probably sell these." Ok I think that would be neat. But where do I start? I would like to get a new set of pencils and I need to find some oderless turpintine and then I think I could be in business. Oh yea and the photos hehehe. I have a large scrap book from when my grandfather was an MP overseas. There are some really great photos. I have already had 2 of them enlarged into 8x10's. They look great and turned out very well after tinted, if I do say so myself. Also I have been taking a lot of B/W pics. But they are smaller and a little more difficult.

Sleepy Time
I want to take a nap. But I think Steve won't let me. :-( he wants to go to the pool now :-( If I go to sleep in the sun I'll melt :-(

I guess that is about it for now.

Mental Health Day
I did it I actually called off on a Monday. I think just the fact that I called off is pretty amazing, but to do it on a Monday, I must have been smoking crack. I also have off the next 2 days. And since I had off on Sunday this is a nice little 4 day break. I am so pissed off at managemant right now and others as well that I don't really care. (ok you caught me I really do care but I am so angry right now)

So What Did I do Today??
I slept till noon. I scrubbed the kitchen floor. I played a little on the puter. I worked on updating my links list again. I cleaned out my favorites folder. I washed the inside of the freezer and fridge. Oh yes and I went to the auto parts store with Steve. I still need to go to the Library. And I finally cleaned out my junk closet. One other thing I got Steve to hang up the dry / erase board in the kitchen for me. Now I can plot out my cleaning and rennovation work. Yeah!!!!

Dinner???
Hummm what to have for dinner. We went to the store but it doesn't seem as thought we got anything. I hate trips like that. I could really go for some baked spagetti. But alas we have no ground beef. I guess I'll go search for something.

My Bloginality is ISFJ!!!

As an ISFJ, you are Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging.
This makes your primary focus on Introverted Sensing with Extraverted Feeling.

This is defined as a SJ personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Guardian (Security Seeking) type, and more specifically the Protectors or Nurturer.

In blogging, your journal will always be immaculate and have a touch of style. You may also feel overwhelmed because you want to be a part of everything going on. Because of your wonderful memory, other bloggers may come to you to ask about things you posted months before.

The Highlight of the Day
I saw and I need to go scrub my eyes with acid.....2 young people 16-18 yrs old (guessing) nearly having realtions in the ball pit at the water park.

The Cookout
We had a lovely cookout toady. The food was wonderful. It was great to visit with my parents. The kids had a great time tormenting each other. Some very large and scary woman tried to steal our pool toys, but I calmly set her straight. Otherwise it was a good time had by all.

I have more I want to write about, however I do not have the time to do it now. I will make a list for myself so I won't forget.

Weight Watchers
Diets
Food in general
The people having relations in the ball pit
the extremly obesse children at the pool today

ok I think that about covers it. Off to bed now. I have to get up at 3 to get to work.

P.S. to Sarah
I tried flavored water today. I think I shall purchase some for tomorrow. It t'was very sweet. But with nothing in it. No sodium at all. Just the brain cancer stuff. BTW I have been consuming the brain cancer stuff for the last 18 years. And well if I haven't gotten it (brain cancer) by now then perhaps I am immune to it (aspartame), because of the larget amounts I have introduced my body to over the last nearly 2 decades. (ducks to avoid being swated on the back of the head) hehehehe ;-P

Will I die from E.Coli today???
I just finished putting 2, yes count them 2 cakes in the oven. Devil's food and Pineapple Upside Down and of course since I was the only one in the kitchen I *had* to lick the bowls, yes both of the them.

Yikes!! Me in a swimming suit
Oh how do I wish it were still the late 1800's. When women had to cover everything. But no.. today me and my very white flesh will be gracing the earth at the waterpark. Thank goodness it is indoors. At least I won't end up with tan lines and or a very bad sunburn.

Getting Mom onto the Internet

VENT
WORK SUCKS I HATE SO MANY THINGS ABOUT WORK. THE IMMATURITY OF 30 SOMETHING YEAR OLD PEOPLE. THE VINDICTIVNESS OF SAID PEOPLE. THE CHILDISHNESS OF SAID PEOPLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CAN'T COME TO WORK, DO THEIR JOB, PARTICIPATE IN A LITTLE TEAMWORK, AND JUST BE OK WITH THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE NEED, YES NEED, TO GOSSIP ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. AND THE FACT THAT THE RUMORS ARE SIMPLY UNFOUNDED IN 99% OF THE STORIES JUST MAKES ME EVEN MORE ANGRY. IT IS ONE THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHING A PERSON DOES OR DOESN'T DO RELATING TO THEIR JOB. IT IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THING TO SPREAD UNTRUE STORIES ABOUT THAT PERSON REGARDING THEIR PRESONAL LIFE, JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE TRUE. IF IT DOESN'T ENVOLVE THEIR JOB THEN IT SHOULDN'T BE TALKED ABOUT. AND IF YOU WOULDN'T SAY IT TO THEIR FACE, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T SAY IT AT ALL.
Ok I am better now.

I suppose that I should get ready for today's events.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day.

AHHHHHH much better now...
Bread had thawed. Had a little nap with Camblina. Now I feel a little more refreshed.

Ambition..or lack there of
I tackled the laundry yesterday. Now I have the small feat of putting it away. I should pick up the living room, it won't take but 5 minutes 10 tops. I also should scrub the kitchen floor, ok 30 mins tops for that one. Maybe if I just go do these few things even though I don't want to at least they will be done. Or... I could crawl back into bed with a book and wait for Cam to get out of the bath. Then he and I can watch t.v. I watched a little bit of t.v. yesterday. I realized that I haven't really been missing much by not watching it. The books I'm reading are far more interesting and there are no comercials.

ok off to go flip a coin so I can get on with my day in some fashion.

Offended...????
I have been updating my links and if I have added you and you would rather not be listed here please let me know. Also if I have missed you please let me know and I will remedy the situation. I read more than several blogs but usually I hop from one persons page to another. I have been making the rounds so that I can bookmark and then update my list.

The Damn Bread
Why is I am the only person in this house that knows how to take the bread out of the freezer???? I swear. All I wanted was a nice sandwich this morning. Steve left me some of the lunchmeat he got for his fishing trip. Some nice Va. baked ham, chipped, my favorite. ( I can hear you cringing right now Sarah)

I think I am going to crawl back into bed with Cam. The house is so quiet with just the 2 of us here.

posted by Lady_Indigo 7:38 AM

Well not much happend here today. Thank goodness we have a set fee for water. I have run 4 loads of laundry. Yes I know this conflicts the Friday Five. Believe me this is very unusual. I would have only had 1 but remember Cameron has peed in my bed nearly every night this week. I have 2 sets of quilts. When the first set got wet I just threw on the second set. Well today I had to wash both sets, not to mention the sheet, blanket for under the sheet (don't even ask I don't want to go there) and the liner that goes ontop of the waterbed mattress. Plus I had all of my clothes, down to the dreaded "Last Resort Underwear".

Cancer in a Bottle
Ahhhhhh Faygo Red Pop!!!!!!! Brings back memories of summers in Ky. with my mom and grandma. I love Faygo Red Pop and Faygo Frosh. They were on sale at the grocery 6 for $2.00. I couldn't resist. I did make up for it though by getting Minute Maid Orange and Tangerine juice. Which by the way is delicious! I love fruit juice and fruit flavored stuff. Side note: Faygo is no longer made with saccarine (sp?). It is now made with aspartame.

Me and My Best Guy
It is just Cam and I tonight. He is calming down and watching t.v. right now. I suppose I should go see what he is up to. Maybe we'll watch a movie. After all I can stay up late tonight because I don't work till 2pm tomorrow.

Side note to Sarah: I know something you don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

posted by Lady_Indigo 10:22 PM

The Friday Five

1. How often do you do laundry? I do once a week. Haley twice a week. Steve twice a week as well.

2. What's in a typical wash load? Mostly everything. I rarely sperate clothes. I do wash bedding by itself thou.

3. Front or top loader? Powder or liquid detergent? Top loader, extra capcity. I prefer liquid detergent. Tide with Bleach alternative.

4. Do you use fabric softener in the rinse cycle? No I throw a Cling-Free in the dryer.

5. Dryer or clothesline? Dryer, I am much to lazy to hang them out to dry.

S'plain it to me Lucy
We now have a weblocker. You must log in and are only allowed to visit listed sites if your login is restricted e.g. Kids login. Steve was cleaning out the history folder this morning and came upon some questionable sites that neither of us had been to. So now here we are. The only thing that bites it that I had to go and list all the sites that are allowed for the kids. And also if you are inactive for 10 mins. it logs out and you can't go anywhere and you have to log back in. Hence my eaten post earlier.

The baking Fiend
Someone has stolen my daughter and replaced her with a budding chef. She has been baking non-stop since school let out. She found some really great sites for kid friendly recpies. She made delicious muffins and she even made her own recpie for Choco Chip Pancake Batter Muffins. Also she tried her hand at no bake mints today but sadly faux pased and used the mixer and now it wont solidify. Oh well. She wanted to know what I wanted for breakfast this morning, last night, so when she got up she cooked me breakfast. French toast Yummy!!!!

The Lush
Cameron is addicted to Diet Sprite. He would drink a whole 2 liter bottle a day if I let him. Last night after discovering that he had drank half the bottle I told him I was dissapointed in him. Because we had just had this comversation the night before. About how he is not suppose to drink that much and esp. before bed. I have had to wash my sheets nearly everyday for the past week. I told him that I still love him but was sad that he couldn't follow the rules. A few minutes later he says: W-h-y- d-o-n-'-t- y-o-u- g-i-v-e- m-e- a- s-m-o-o-c-h- o-n- m-y- c-h-e-e-k-? ( in case you missed it the first time around we sometimes have our entire dinner conversation by spelling out the words) What a cutie :-)

First things first
I may die from sleep deprevation before I finish this post. I haven't been this tired since Cameron was born. These long work streches are killing me. 8 days this time. I have lost 2-3 hours a night this week. I am the type of person that needs absolutly needs 8-9 hours a night. ok enough whining

And second
I have to absolutly clean my house tomorrow. I am thinking about going to bed now ( yes I know it is 4:30pm) It has been at least a month since I have done a good deep cleaning. The bath tub is blue again and the dog hair is walking around on it's own. Also my laundry has turned into "The Blob" and is slowly consuming the legs of my dresser.

Hence, the LIST
-upstairs bathroom
-downstairs bathroom
-kitchen (includes floor)
-laundry
-blankets
-computer room
-living room

Presents in the mail
I got my shoes today. They fit just fine. However, You knew there had to be a however in there, they are a bit more chunky than I expected. I will get use to the look. I don't really like chunky shoes because, as I have mentioned before, I have really small feet and chunky shoes make them look a bit distorted. Otherwise I am content with the purchase.

Me design Kitchens???
The rumor at work is that I am being moved back out to the sales floor and will no longer be hidden in the vault. Well I haven't gotten any offical word yet and our store manager has come down with mono. I hate not knowing what is going on. Our Human Resource guy is a loser and has no answers let alone even a clue. Oh well. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

GoodNight
I am laking leave now. I will return. Good night.

I work in a freaking HighSchool
Really I work for a large orange home improvment center. And I am so surprised by the immaturity of at least 3/4 of the people employed there. I just really need to vent about this. People love to gossip and I can't stand it anymore. I am so stressed out that I am about to go off on the known offender. Yes one person imparticular. I spoke with my supervior who also happens to be the Operations Manager and his advice was to go tell her and get it off my chest. Why should I let her do something to me that is hurting me and not stand up for myself. I have been trying to ignore it for quite awhile now, but after this past Thursday I have had it. Why should I have to put up with this crap. That's it Monday morning when she comes in we are having a little talk. I promise to be rational and calm.

The Human Cracker Eating Machine
Cameron has all but consumed 2 boxes of Lance crackers. Yes I said 2 boxes! Toast-Chee and S'mores. We just bought not 24 hours ago. Good god holy mother of jesus. I hope he doesn't turn into an orange marshmallow.

Shoes...The Saga Continues
I don't know if I mentioned in any of my earlier rants about shoes, that I measure a size 3. Tell me where am I suppose to find good adult shoes? I won the bid for the Doc Martens on e-bay. Brand new in the box size 5. I can get away with 5's in heels or boots, all other shoes must be 3's. I once went to Lady Foot Locker to get a new pair of sneakers. I pointed to the childrens' K-Swiss' and asked if she had any in a 3. She said yes and went to get them. When she came back she handed me the box and asked if that was going to be everything. I looked at her and asked if it was ok if I tried them on. She look so stunned. I wasn't amused. So you probably think I must be a little person to have feet that small, well I am 5' 3/4" tall. I was hoping that maybe my feet might grow during one of my pregnancies, but alas the only thing that grew was my a#@. hehehe

Ok going to bed now. Gotta be at work at 5am yuck. I'll be glad when Tuesday gets here!!

Is it still a nap if it lasted 4 hours?
I knew I was tired but I didn't know I would sleep for 4 hours! Haley is sleeping over at a girlfriends house and Steve and Cam went fishing. So I had the whole house to myself. I could do anything I wanted to. Sing, dance naked through the living room, take a long bubble bath, but no I sleep. Steve and Cameron got back about 10 mins. after I woke up.

Interesting Site Meter stats
Ok so someone was searching for these three words, all at once mind you, and my blog was the 4th choice. Here are the words: fat girlfriends anglea. Also I have come up in google for these words: smallest bikini pics (and) camoflage bikini. I guess search enginges really do go into a lot of detail when searching. There is no other way to explain it.

What I found when I was searching
WARNING: the faint of heart should skip this entry.
I was searching for "doc martens purple" and the 4th or 5th result was "Jelly Dongs Butt Plugs". Ok wow was I stunned or what! ok more like grossed out!!!!!!

And on the note I'll say good night.

One last thought
Are the school flashing speed limit signs still in effect even after school is out for the summer?

I have a WONDERFUL HUBBY
I need a new pair of work boots in a bad way. I was looking at Doc Martens last night on the web. I found a pair that are perfect and reasonably priced. I sent an inqury to find out if they were in stock and how much would shipping be from England. Steve got the reply this morning and went looking on e-bay for me. He found another perfect pair of boots. In the correct size no less. And for less money. He even sent me an email (we have the same email) to get me to the bid site and he also put a post it note on the computer as to when the auction ends. What a nice surprise to come home to.

Splish Splash I was takin' a .....SWIM
We decided to join the pool this year. We checked it out today. Very good price. Family of 4 is only (drum roll please) $115.00 !!!! They have a little snack stand. They also have pool parties at night and all kinds of other get togethers. Also the kids can be dropped off and picked up later. They have a zillion life gaurds too. The LG's were playing with the kids when we were there. Steve is so excited because this is his first summer working night shift and now he gets to go to the pool like he always wanted too. Plus it will be great for the kids.

Not much else to say I was a quiet day at work for the most part. Guess I'll go scrounge for dinner since Steve is sleeping this evening.

Congratulations, you're Charles Manson!

Mad as a hatter and friend of Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, you believe that the Beatles song Helter Skelter is indicative of a coming race war, where the "blackies" will win. You also consider yourself a talented folksinger.

You have amassed a group of female followers known as The Family, who perform killings for you and look upon you as if you were Jesus Christ. You have sex with each and every one of them, and encourage them to have sex with each other, but they're most famous for killing pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that you wrote a Beach Boys song and killed Roman Polanski's wife with the following fine graphic:

People people people it is just... RAIN
(you freaks!)
What is wrong with people. I sometimes wonder how they ever got a license. UGH.... It took me forever to get home. It is only rain. It won't hurt you. There are no reasons as to why you need to pull over onto the side of the road. Really now, people how long have you been driving?? How long has it been raining?? Ok enough said.

Silver Stars
Ok so maybe this wasn't the best way to go about making my point with Cameron. And now I have hurt his feelings. Maybe I went too far. ok rewind.. I get home, Haley informs me that Cameron has drawn silver stars all over my black computer chair. I go to investigate. Ok there are silver stars on the arm rests and a big silver star on the back (the inside part) of the chair. I question him. He responds, "I was bored." I ask for the silver marker. I look at Cameron. I tell him I am bored. I drew silver stars all over him. Arms, neck, hands, feet, legs, tummy. I ask him, "Have I made my point?" He says yes and leaves the room in tears. He returns a moment later and exclaims, "Well see if I ever do anything with you again!" He slams the door and runs upstairs crying. Did I go to far??? I know better than to hurt his feelings. He is so emotional and just about everything upsets him.

Liquid Candy
Second batch of attempted rock candy has failed. Nothing but liquid. Where did I go wrong. I don't cook all that often. Am I really incapable of dissolving some sugar in some water and putting a string in it and having crystals collect on the string. I give up.

Maybe I'll blog more later. Haley made a wonderful dinner all by herself. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, tots, mashed potatos. Well so much for the low carb dinner I was hoping for.

Who are you people reading my blog. Please say hello to me. Even just a "hi" will suffice. Perhaps a "your blog sucks and we just stop by on the off chance it will improve." Something anything Please please please.

ok, I feel better now that, that is out of my system.

Lost Day no.2
I lost the day again. Don't even ask about the bathroom. Steve and I had a plan worked out for today. Umm.. but it didn't work out. There is always next Tues. and Wed. That is the next time I'll have off from work. I am kind of afraid to finish the bathroom because then I'll have no excuses for a messy bathroom. I should finish it I mean we started working on last Halloween. Egads!!!!! It's been a long time.

Sludge Candy... rock candy gone awry
Well we made beautiful purple and red sludge. Not sure where things went wrong. I doubled the recipie so the kids could each have their own. I think that may have been the start of the errors. I can't remember if I used 4c. of sugar or 8c. by accident. Nevertheless it was not quite what rock candy is suppose to be. We tried a second batch tonight. Maybe this one will be ok.

The Meese are on the loose again
Steve was sitting in the bathroom umm..."reading a magazine" when he saw something moving under the door. (our toilet faces the door) He watched for a moment and suddenly a mouse was sitting there staring at him. Of course he turned tail and ran away. We apparently have caught 2 more mice according to Steve. Ok it's not that hot outside. And we don't have air-conditioning. So why are they here???

Library Tales
We found the lost CD. Yeah no fine :-) !!!! I took both kids to the lib. today. There is a summer reading program and the kids are very psyched about it. For every 10 books we checkout your name goes into a bowl for a drawing at the end of summer. The prizes are pretty kewl too. Also for every 20 books they read they get a star on the bulletin board with their name on it. There is another contest in there as well but I didn't read all the info yet. Yeah for the lib. Haley wants to participate in the reading to kids program. I think that would be a good thing for her. Her reading skills are not completely up to par IMO. I would like her to be a quicker thinker and I think this would help. Ok that sounds kind of um.. bad. She is a very smart girl she just doesn't apply herself. Therefore when we play word games at dinner she falls behind. We sometimes have entire conversations where we spell every word. We use to spell words when we went holiday shopping and had to take the kids with us. But Cameron being about 4 at the time started listening and would say the words he knew we were spelling. What a silly little boy.

The End
I never really know how to end my blog for the day. Especially when I have the chance to blog when the momment strikes. Like today and yesterday because I didn't have to go to work and I could sit here and veg all day. So I'll say till I blog again. Goodnight :-)

Mazikeen Rock Candy
from:Finding Fairies

what you need: 4c. sugar, 1c. water, string, pencil, glass jar, saucepan, spoon, food coloring (optional)

1. pour 1c water and 2 c. sugar into saucepan
2. heat on medium (do not boil) stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Gradually add remaining 2c. of sugar. stir until dissolved
3. remove from heat pour into glass jar
4. stir in food coloring
5. tie string around pencil, place pencil over mouth of jar so string hangs down into liquid. Sugar crystals will start forming on string in a few hours.
6. The next day, pull the string out of the jar to check out crystals. To make crystals bigger, reheat leftover liquid and repeat steps 3,5 and 6. Repeat until your rock candy has grown as big as you want it. Eat it or share it with the sweet-toothed Mazikeen fairies.

Cameron made red rock candy. I of course chose purple.

Lost day
Well I haven't really accomplished much of anything today, except sleep. I guess my body was catching up from last week. I feel much better. I am watching Harry Potter for the 4th time right now. I can't wait till the next book comes out. And the next movie as well. Haley has taken to speaking like Hermoine. Cameron has been going around with his "wand" casting spells. hehehe

Calling Dr. Atkins, calling Dr.Atknis...
The book I have been reading suggest eating more protein and less carbs. Yes it pretty much suggest following the Dr. Atknis diet. At least seven months of the year and to only eat high carbs during June,July, August, and September. Basically you are suppose to eat as though you are going to hibernate in the winter. And then do as much hibernation as you can. Go to bed at dusk, wake at dawn. Don't eat bread because there are no bread trees in nature, neither are there any pasta trees. Don't eat anything that is shrink wrapped. It's not the fat in food that makes you fat. It's the excessive carbs your body doesn't need that makes you fat. We store them in preperation for our winter slumber that never comes. That is why we get fat. It is an interesting theroy. So anyway I decided to kind of try it.. Well at least limit the carbs I eat. I ate mostly protein today. Eggs for breakfast, cheese for lunch, a small bowl of corn flakes for an afternoon snack and a single serving of hamburger helper for dinner. All in all I ate aprox. 55g. of carbs today. the one thing I have noticed is that I haven't been hungry once today. Usually when I have off work I eat all day. So I'll try this and see how it works. Eat more protein and watch my carb. comsumption. I didn't even want sugar today. How exciting is that!!!! ( Did I mention how much I love sugary food??)

"Warning: exposure to the son may prevent burning"
and
"God has a big eraser"

I don't believe that I have mentioned the fact that I pass about 5 churches on the 9 mile stretch between one town to my town. Anywho the churches usually have the typical sayings on their signs. However they do manage to get a bit creative once in awhile.

Grout
No if ands or buts. I must grout the bathroom tomorrow. We need a toilet upstairs. And I need to get my library done. So a grouting we will go tomorrow!!!

Pleasent Surprises
Steve asked if I wanted to do something this evening. Me thinking he had to leave at 9:30 for work said "let's watch a movie". Well he told me half way through the movie he called out tonight so he could spend the night with me :-D!!!!!!!

Only half days left
The kids will be done school on Thursday. Till then they only have half days. Very happy they are!!!

Going to go find Steve now and see what we are going to do with the rest of our evening together. Cameron desperatly wants to play Scrabble. However it is after 10:00. Opps I just realized that he didn't get his evening meds. Crap!!! no wonder he is still up.

ok going to go drug my child then going to go find Steve.

Good night all.

"The sun has set not long ago
now everybody goes below
to take a bath in one big tub
with soap all over, scrub, scrub, scrub,
they hang their towels on the wall
and find pajamas big and small
with some on top and some beneath
they brush and brush and brush their teeth
and when the moon is on the rise
the animals all excersise
and down once more but not to fast
they're on their way to bed at last
the moon is high
the sea is deep
they rock and rock and rock
to sleep
shhhhhhhh...."

Othello
It was a beautiful night to sit at the park and watch some Shakespear. It was the first time we had been there. Very Very nice. Although we will be a bit more prepared next time. Cooler with drinks and a blanket. We had our camp chairs but it was a bit chilly after the sun set.

Many Meeses
Ok this year has by far been the worst year for meeses. Or could it just be that now that we have ripped out an entire room of plaster we just see them more now? We have caught 4 and have seen at least 3 more. They re cute. Perhaps that is their savine grace. Or else they would be dead. I guess we will keep the trap out and continue driving them futher out into the counrty when we catch them.

Today
wash kitchen floor
sweep all rooms
put living room back together
my laundry
general picking up

It won't get done with me sitting here now will it. Ta-Ta for now :-)
