Monday

[RCT]

Well back to reality again. Up and showered, DS has the state testing this week at his school so he has a hot breakfast that he is eating, as if dd.....
I had a wonderful Mother's day! Dh and the kids got me a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a really neat Lemonade pitcher...I love it, might take some of the flowers to work as I will be in my office more than home to enjoy them.
Hope you all have a wonderful Monday

Was up way too much in the night, ds3 coughed just about steady, even with inhalers. Then was up after 4, couldn't fall back asleep, got out of bed at 4:30 to get ds1 ready for his trip. I cannot believe he got up on his own this am. lol He was sooo excited to have today finally here. He got a ride with a buddy and his mom. I wanted to drive him myself but it was just as well with ds3 sick again and the timing would have been when ds4 wakes up. I cannot wait to hear about it all when he gets back (Wed. night).
I think I'm keeping ds3 home today, poor kid can't stop coughing. I have a return to make at walmart and maybe we'll look for bike helmets. No luck on them yesterday.
Have a good day all

ds is at school!! got an email from his counselor friday afternoon saying he HAD to be caught up by this Friday or no graduation.
i told him the best mother's day gift he could give me would be to get all caught up. he was up all night.
work till noon and then home to chores.

((((Ann & ds)))) I so hope he does it.... he is definitely in my prayers. I know this has to be so hard and you and him.

Well, I got up this morning and helped my granny's friend decorate the church for their senior lunching tomorrow. I have to go to my mom's office to work for her in a few minutes while she takes my dad to the doctor. Then I have to come home to work tonight, so I have a pretty busy day. Hope everyone else has a great day.

Yeah... Here's hoping he gets all caught up... (I'll be saying lots of prayers keeping my fingers crossed that he does)

Awesome news, Ann! Sounds like he knows when to kick it into gear.
Leigh, sounds like a super busy day for you!
Vea, hope you find your dad in good shape.

Worked, home for lunch then will go visit mom since we didn't see her yesterday. Gotta take dd bathing suit shopping; they start their swimming unit in P.E. this week and she can't show her belly. Of course, all she has are last year's 1 piece suits that don't fit or bikinis!

All of us will be home tonight for dinner. Amazing!

Looks like another nice day. The sun is out, but it's sooo cold/windy. It's been an awfully cold/windy spring...

I'm just about done with my laundry, then I've got to get started decluttering our office/exercise room... and what use to be the toy room, (now my sewing room) to make room for our new offices. The exercise room will be where my sewing room is now, were giving Dawn/James our office desk were using now. It's a little too big for the room were moving dh's office in. Lots of getting rid of and shifting things around. Dh's decided he wants to get new carpet throughout... so we have to go pick that out and set up a day for installation. I've got some wall paper to take down and some painting to do. I'm feeling so overwhelmed just thinking about everything that needs to get done. What worse is that dh's boss has kept every piece of dead computer equipment that is packed away in the corners of the closets there. We don't want them... don't wanna have to deal with finding somewhere to get rid of them. There are so many computers, desks... office chairs. We only want to bring a few pieces with us, so I have a feeling it's going to be a while before were all done with this. I'm pooped just thinking about it.

I've got to go outside and REplant some of my bulbs I planted a few day's ago. The stupid squirrels keep digging them up Planting some wild flower seeds also and am hoping they come up. I should have had dd #2 plant them while she was here yesterday seeing she's the one with the green thumb.

Shelly and Bob picked me up this afternoon and took me out to lunch for Mother's Day... I didn't eat much but am feeling so stuffed. ( Chipotle) I'll probably be skipping dinner tonight.

Gotta call Healthpartners back with some updates. Hope you are all having a nice day.

Chipotle.... yum!!

Can I say that I hate the month of May! I swear once state testing is over the kids are done. Top that with a month full of so much extra stuff that the kids are swinging from the lights and not at all into focusing on lessons.

This week we have a music program Tues., Water Day all day Wed., our field trip Thurs., and Fri. is try outs for end of the year talent show. Only thing I'm looking forward to is our field trip. We are going to a Heifer Project International Ranch. It is supposed to be an awesome field trip. Bad thing is water day all day the day before and all day outside on Thurs. My little darlings will be burnt to a crisp. Most parents don't follow instruction and apply sunscreen.

Dgs graduates from preschool on Sunday! OMG his pictures were so amazing. They did group and individuals. The photographer was so great. Not only did everyone's individuals turn out great, but everyone in the group looked great too. Compare that to the regular class group where a third of the kids were goofing off, a third weren't paying attention, and a third were posing nicely. Dgs was in the goofing off group.

I forget that dh had his council meeting tonight... so I've had the whole evening to myself, or so I thought... until all my neighbor's came over. I ended up missing Dancing with the Star's... but got the scoop from my mom who watched it. (Is anyone here watching it?)

Worked hard in the yard all day, got a few things planted and other things transplanted. If everything comes up, our garden will look awesome. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Not much else... I hope you all had a good one.

Thanks...

My neighbor told me to use cayenne pepper... which I remember using once before, but forgot about. I think I'll try it again first before trying this... but thanks so much for the link
