COUNTDOWN

6 school days/8 calendar days.
Yup, that's it.
Then summer vacation for the boys.

6 school days/8 calendar days.
I'll pretty much be at the end.
Of my patience, that is.

6 school days/8 calendar days.
All that's left.
Then all hell breaks loose.

6 school days/8 calendar days.
Not a day more.
No break from the natives.

6 school days/8 calendar days.
I beg you please.
Pray for my sanity.

Back in the saddle again


Let's see if I fall off this horse.
So bad at blogging.
So busy at life.
I know it's not Halloween, but this little guy keeps me company all day, every day, all year.
Too much time wasted farming a virtual farm sitting on a way too big butt.
If I got off my arse and planted a real garden, my arse might not be so big.
Third grade has been fantastic. Living the GATE life is difficult. Way too hard to keep a kid engaged. Extra work to keep them challenged makes them feel they are being punished.
"Mom, I have no time to live".
Dude, just wait until you are a parent.
Contrary to what they believe, they have been living the life.
We all have.
We're so lucky to still have a home, jobs, health...
Mike hasn't worked since Thanksgiving, but he's still employed. Hopefully the next job will be coming up in March.
As a work at home mom, I will be needing to go in to the office once a week. It was like the end of the world when they announced to us telecommuters of this new plan. Until they did lay offs, and now we no longer complain.
Somehow, the bills are getting paid. The fridge is stocked. We still go play. Life goes on.
Hunter wrote his 1st letter of the year to Santa Claus.
Last year it was May, this year February.
I would be disappointed, but he also gave me $10.00 a couple days before to donate to the kids in Haiti with no homes.
AJ started Indoor Soccer this week. I'm looking forward to that.
My house is still standing, regardless of all the chemistry sets they received for Christmas.
We miss Sara everyday, and twice on Sundays.
Somedays it's hard to imagine how the world still turns.
As for me, I've had 3 Lego implants in my feet since the start of the year.
Good excuse to not walk or jog on the treadmill for a couple of days. Still working on the excuse for all the other days in between.
Now you're all caught up.
Peace - Out

4 more days!!!!!

4 more days until school starts.
4 more days and I get my house back from the demons.
4 more days and I regain my sanity.
I hope I live that long....

Happy Father's Day



Happy father's day to the best daddy I could ever dream of, and an even better Grandfather! 
We love you Papi!



And to a great Nonno, who's so lovable and funny. Who did a great job of raising my Baby Daddy to be a great father.


And a huge happy father's day hug and kiss to my husband. You are such a great father and even better Dad. We love you!
 





Summer Random Kid Quote - Day 6




AJ - Life is good!
Mom - Why is that?
AJ - Come on, a day of TV, games, swimming... Can't get any better than that!
Mom - How about pizza for dinner?
AJ - "Oh shoot, I think I died and went to heaven!"

Summer Random Kid Quote - Day 5





"Mom, will you be my evil minion for the day?"
"Sure, I'm in."
"Evil minion, your first order is to destroy my brother."


Summer Random Kid Quote - Day 4



"Mom, how much money do I have in my college account in the bank."
"Uhh, none of your business until you go to college."
"But, I need to know how much money I have."
"Why is that?"
"Because I need to know how much I have to spend on my science supplies for my evil experiments."
"Well, we definitely can't touch it until you're ready for college."
"Mom, can I go to evil villain science college?"
"Sure."

walking away to himself.....
"I wonder how much money I have in my wallet?"
