Ramblings...
Just some things floating around in my head....
Have you seen that commercial about Mom's "Taking Back Lunch!!" Amen ladies. I am floored as I am opening some of the kids lunches at school. No wonder we have such over weight children in our country! Let's also wrought their teeth out with two or three desserts just so the are happy with the selection in their little box. Is it seriously that hard to make a sandwhich anymore? Come on people!!! Hot dog and pizza lunchables??? That's a good idea for a pre-schooler, along with their bright blue capri sun it comes with. Hope ya got ya some oxyclean at home!
Speaking of wroughting our teeth, got a 'sweet deal' on some iced oatmeal cookies at Walmart, whole bag for .99!!!! So yummy with my afternoon coffee! Relax, its my only 'treat' of the day.
I have been watching the clock and timing it. Between my two children the longest time between a yell from being hurt or having to go to the bathroom is right at around five minutes. Whew......
Oh, and the restroom issue. I have ALWAYS had a Public Restroom phobia. Can't stand them. I will hold it FOREVER to use my own at home. What a joke these days. Now that I have two that are potty trained, we visit the restroom of every establishment we remotely come close to and at least two to three times while we are there. I try to bribe them with suckers if they will just hold it! Doesn't work.
This is also the reason I make everyone in our house remove their shoes at the backdoor and carry them to their closet... GROSS.
I don't care if people think I am wierd. I am getting my fall stuff down tonight and decorating. I want it to be REAL fall that bad and those items just make me happy :)
I am wish the yard dude would come more often, its getting embarassing. Everyone in our new neighborhood has a fabulous yard. I hope after the next month or so we can be apart of that!
I am LOVING Ladies Class. We are doing discussion tables this quarter and I am a leader to all much older ladies. Pretty intimidating at first but over the past few years these women have become my friends even though they could all be my grandmother! They make me look forward to growing older. What a blessing they are to me and make me laugh til I cry!!!
Why is Sarah (sp?) Palin not running for president???? She would TOTALLY WIN! Why can't McCain be for VP instead, we all know they don't do anything anyway...haha...
Were there protests at the Democratic Covention, I kinda think not.
Do we really need more reality shows? I mean they are kinda getting ridiculous! I saw on the View today (the whole five minutes I had it on) that there is a school that people go to, to learn how to be a reality celebrity. That is funny to me. I am over all that...except for Cash Cab of course!
Okay.... okay. Its off to make grilled cheese. Oh the gourmet cook I am these days! Hey, I still love them- thankfully so does my entire family-as long as there is hot sauce and chips!
Have a great weekend~

First Week back to school...
Wow, first week of school down and we have so many to go! Will I make it?! Of course I will. My coffee maker is in overdrive! Man I am beat though. We only had three days this week, need to gear up for four! My schedule has changed just a bit, doing all day Mon and Wed and just afternoons on Tues and Thurs. Throw some soccer practice, working out, Ladies class, and some other things I won't go all into, it makes for a busy little week! Oh, and T starts travelling again next week!
Kids had a great first day. Ty's class is basically kindergarten. He is in the fours but they are doing everything K does and all the teachers are former K teachers so I am just overjoyed for him. His is one of the most dedicated I know and it just shines in many many ways. I just LOVE our school and feel that God led us there, I don't know how we would have ended up there otherwise! Olivia took a moment to adjust but did GREAT today, absolutely no crying! She was proud to talk about that too!
We started picking up my niece and nephew from BIG (Elementary) school this year and its the highlight of our day. Ty and O love to try to find them and call their names and their time together while we are working out is just priceless. I love that they are able to have so much time with their cousins and love them so much! I always wished I had that.
We are all STARVING by the time we get out and me especially after work out so the convenient cooking has started again! I am ready for another casserole swap and in dire need!
We had an uneventful labor day weekend after some much needed travel and rest time, what I like to call the calm before the storm. No pictures of any of that either, overloaded camera still. Need to get on that.
Here I am dead as a door nail and stayed up late flipping channels and blogging. I caught the middle of Mystic Pizza and had so forgotten so much of it and the lumps that it still leaves in my throats at parts, or maybe that is the tired in me! On that note, I am joining my husband in bed and hopefully won't have to leave it until at least around 7:45 or 8..... cross your fingers for me that Ty is spent and sleeps in!
