Homeschooling

OK, so I thought this was too hilarious to not pass on, lol. This is for you Matthew and Taya! See you next week!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Well, today's your birthday, and you're not here. I wish you could be here to celebrate with your family, but that's life in the military! We will make it up to you when you get home, don't worry! Love you hon, have a good birthday.

It's Still Monday...

I'm doing better this week! Today actually went OK. I bought the kids a new shelf for their room, I was sick of their old one that was bright primary colors. I got one of those "utility like" shelves from the hardware section at Wal-Mart, filled it with green bins from Target, and called it a day! Once I'm finished I'll take a picture, right now it looks like a whirlwind went through their room because I also decided to get rid of some (and by some I mean A LOT) of their toys. I don't know how it happened, but they have accumulated so many toys.....they both got so excited as I was digging through the bottom of the toybox...Mom, I haven't played with THAT toy in forEVER! And that's how I explained to them that they needed to get rid of some toys and give them to some other kid who doesn't have a mountain like they do - when you don't even know what toys you have, it's time to go through them. I think they actually got it!

I think this week might actually be OK. I went to church on Sunday, which really helps me make it through the week. I hadn't gone for 2 weeks, one because everyone was so sick for a while, and two because Sue was here last week, and I'm not sure about her feelings about me taking the kids to church, so I decided to just avoid the subject altogether. I'm great at that.....groan.

So here's my weekly list:

1) finish laundry (yes, that was on my list last week....get over it, I did!)

2) finish boys' room

3) start doing weekly menu planning and checking out freezer meal ideas

I'm sure there's more I should be doing, but I'm tired and can't think of anything else. My pillow is calling my name.....I'm coming pillow!
