If you liked the last one... you will like this one

Yesterday morning right after the kids ate their breakfast here is how it went..

Me: "Jarret can you please go get dressed I put your clothes on your bed."

Amy as Jarret was walking out of the room to get dressed: "How do boys put their pants on?"

Me: "What do you mean? They put them on like you one leg at a time"

Amy: "Yeah but his pee pee is longer then mine how does it fit?"

Me: "Umm.. it fits.. it just gets pushed up a bit"

Amy: "Oh.. like a little ball?"

Me: "Uhh... not really but kind of"

Amy: "Oh.. ok."

OMG.. it was so frickin cute. It may be one of those things where you had to be there. She was so sincere and her question was so honest. I didn't laugh in front of her.. I walked to Jarret's room to see him dying he was laughing so hard!!

Cute stuff!

Jarret: "The one thing I really don't want to be allergic to is Triscuits mom"

Amy: "I dont want to ever be allergic to Hearts and Tiaras!!"


This made me smile today. We (George and I) have had the most stressfull bad week. Their comments made me happy!!

For all the moms! This is great. Thanks Char and Kenny for sending it to me!

Enjoy!

Another night at the ER with missy and her asthma. Poor kid.

I got home from work.. ate supper quickly and off to the hospital. She was taken in right away. She was given 3 Ventolin masks and some pediapred. We were there for about 6 hours.

She went to bed.. awoke about 1 hour later coughing (barking is more of what she sounded like) and i was in her room giving her more Ventolin.

Thank goodness I am off today because I am working on about 5 hours of broken up sleep. She is not going to school today. She needs to rest.

Tired.

Worried about my girl.

Going to bed now.

Happy Birthday baby girl

My baby is 5 today. Where has the time gone?

Lata Skata

My mom comes for a visit tomorrow.


Lata Skata

He looks so cute!

It fell out while he was brushing his teeth last night before bed. This is his first one.

The tooth fairy left him $5. I remember her leaving me a quarter. Sometimes 50 cents. Talk about inflation!

11 days and counting until my mom comes to visit again.

Cant wait.

She was going to come at Christmas but we both thought it would be better if she came sooner then later.

I have a few days off when she is here.. she will be here for Amy's bday. She is leaving before Jarrets but we are having his party when she is here.

EXCITED!!

Jarrets new do...

Jarret got his hair cut today.. he decided on a faux hawk!

Not sure what I think about these pictures. He looks older.. and really skinny.

The reason for no shirt btw.. is he was going to bed shortly and he only wears sweats.

I am drinking a smoothie before I tackle my laundry today. I only do laundry once a week at the laundry mat across the street. Not really by choice.. but because we live in an apartment building that is a disgusting dump and I WILL NOT go 19 flights down to the dingy basement to do laundry in a laundry room that by my 7 years olds' own words "its disgusting mom"

If my 7 year old has an opinion on whats disgusting and what isn't when it comes to stuff like this.. you know its bad.

I have 2 weeks of laundry today because last weekend we were not home to do any. I honestly don't mind the laundry mat for one reason only.. I get it all done at once. But it is a pain in the ass gathering and getting it over. Especially when only 1 of 4 elevators work in our building almost EVERY weekend. I get so mad by the time I get home.

Anyway....

I am pretty happy that I have had the chance twice in the last little while to go to a scrapbooking class with my friend K from work. I have been wanting to get involved in scrapbooking for about 2 years but never knew where to start. I have a bunch of supplies but I have no idea how to do any layouts. I am slowly getting the idea. I have made 3 pages and it was so much fun! Thanks K!!!!

Oh yes.. before I forget. Going into the 3rd week of school and Amy is already sick. As she puts it "my neck hurths when I swallow"

Also she said her stomach hurts when she breaths. Which in the past means she has pneumonia! So when I get back from my laundy I guess we will be heading to the hospital for a mask or two and an xray for pneumonia diagnosis. I hope I am wrong about that!

That's that...

First day of school.. again??

Amy was switched from PM Kindergarten to AM starting today! What a relief! This works out better for everyone except Amy. She is not happy about it and I don't really blame her. She has just settled into her class made some friends now she has to start over again. But Amy is Amy.. she will adjust with no problems. She is not shy by ANY means. I do feel guilty but this is the best for us and the babysitter. She will go on the bus with Jarret in the morning at 8am and she has dismissal 11am. It takes 5 days to get her on the new bus schedule so we will have to take her to school and the sitter said she will pick her up after school until the bus gets figured out.

Its falling into place.. I don't feel so stressed out.

Better go get the kidos up now.

Lata Skata

she'll kick his ...ASK! LMAO

So cute!

Second year of VFest. It went by a lot faster then last year. But it was still as fun. The first 1/2 an hour Jarret won an MP3 player.. he was so stoked!! We were watching some bands play and he listened to his MP3 player.. too cute.

We are heading back today for day 2.. we are all tired but that wont stop up from going. We have an all access pass so we will by pass the line for the Ferry to the island and once we get off the island we can walk right in.. LOVE IT.

I will have more pictures from today.. expect to see them..

Have a good Sunday

First day of school was pretty good. There was a bit of a "mix up" after school with 4 busses and 100 or so kids getting on the wrong busses, mine included.. but they both came home safe.. a little shaken.. but they're home.

Going to bed... I am up early for the next 10 months or so. I guess my "summer vacation" is over now.

G'night
