Little Brothers...

Today Z interrupted me when I was on the phone because he wanted a snack. This has been an issue lately, mostly because he follows me around yelling, "MOMMY! Listen to ME!!!" So I put him in time-out. I wanted him to understand why he was in time-out so he and I had the following conversation. (Note: M was playing quietly in room throughout this entire incident.)

Me: Do you interrupt mommy when she is on the phone?
Z: No.
Me: Do you yell at mommy?
Z: No.
Me: You need to sit in the time-out chair for awhile.
(Goes angrily to chair, then yells...)
Z: This is all your fault, M!

Dentists...

I was at the kids dentists one day and asked if raisins were good for their teeth or not. I had heard that dentists didn't want kids to have them because they caused cavities, but then another article said that something in them actually made them good for your teeth. So I asked him which it was. His response just made me laugh.

"Four out of five dentists agree you should ignore all those opinionated dentists and just brush your kids teeth."

Happy Birthday To You...

Yes, once again it is Kevin's birthday. So from all us true "space-cases", Happy 49Th Birthday. You have still got it going on, baby...

Z's Cootie...

"My cootie has dizzy eyes, mommy mouth and wheelie feet! And a hat."

Go Me...

I cleaned out my inbox! Seriously, all 3000 messages. Go me!

I miss you guys. I've been praying for you and your families. Be back soon (I HOPE:). Hugs!

At Dinner Tonight...

We ordered the boys sundaes after dinner...

Waitress to Z: Cherry on the Sundae?
Z to Waitress (very confused): No, we have church on Sunday.

Thank You Card...

Last night was our last choir practice until September and I received the sweetest homemade card from one of the 3rd grade boys. It said:

Dear Mrs. Mommy,
Thank you for doing Voice of Truth.
PS You Rock!

Moving On...

We are moving to a new and yet unknown location. I will admit to stressing about it pretty much non-stop. Yesterday I was reading this month's Readers Digest and came across a little blurb about a military family being interviewed about relocating so frequently. The interviewer asked their 5 year old how she felt about going to a new home and she replied, "We carry our home with us, we just have to find a new house to put it it." What a beautiful way to look at things! It was just the perspective I needed.

Out Of Curiosity...

If you were Jamie Lynn Spears would you take advice from your big sister???
