Hey I noticed something...

Today I had my 200th post. Wow.

By the way the bleeding was just his blister...

Now in the shower playing with shampoo bottles...

"Hey Mom...Hey Mom...Hey Mom... Taking a shower is just like that church song..."

Me..."what song?"

Curtis, "You know...the rain came down and the suds came up, the rain came down and the suds came up and the house on the rock stood still!"

Time to get it together!

Well....I joined TOPS today. TOPS stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly. I need to get it together and stop using food to deal with my other "stuff" I also need to get off my butt and move more. I hope that this can keep me on track. I hope the fact that I have to weigh in each week helps me be more honest with what kind of junk I am putting in my mouth. I haven't really put together a plan yet...I know what to do...now I just have to start doing! Wish me luck. I will keep you posted and hopefully that will help me be more accountable too.

Gotta go...Curtis says he is bleeding...no screams so it is probably nothing!

Update...

Hi everyone...
where have I been??? Well the end of the school year is so crazy... Here are a few of the things we have been up to.

Washington DC trip, Boy Scout archery day, Band concert, orthodontist appointments, father/son campouts, pack meeting, field trips, soccer sign ups, 4-H meetings...and more to come.

Youth temple trip, baby shower, preschool graduation, transition to 3rd grade meeting, campus school picnic, doug field trip to bowling ally, Maggie going somewhere? field trip, bouncy days, petting zoo day, and finally the last day of school on June 3rd! Oh then we are going on vacation. I'm sure that will be restful! :)

Sorry this is boring! I know you have probably been waiting by your computer for days waiting for my post. What things do you have planned in the next few weeks?

The Circus...came to town...

The kids came home from school with free
tickets to the circus. Since it was Steve's vacation
this week we decided to go...

Here is the happy crew.

The juggler. He juggled knives and fire and other stuff.

This lady makes my head hurt. She is suspended by her hair. Talk about split ends.


And the big show at the end...the live boxing kangaroo. He beat up the clown.

Other than the fact that it was a money making endeavor. They would get the kids worked up into a frenzy about getting their mom and dad to buy this and that...then they would have a chance at a flunky dollar store prize...it was good. Curtis had one melt down because we wouldn't get him a coloring book, Maggie was mad because I ate her melting snowcone that she left with me to watch the circus up close with the other kids. She wanted to eat the snowcone 45 min later...yeah right. It was fun for the kids as they have never been to a circus before. They didn't really know what to expect. Low expectations are sometimes good to have. :)

Upon being told to go to bed...for the millionth time...

"Mom, I have trouble falling asleep. I fall asleep, wake up, fall asleep, wake up, fall asleep, wake up, fall asleep. My life is way more complicated than yours, you know."
