HRSMOM Just Made M's Day...

Thank you, dearest SIL, for calling M to see if he was feeling better. He was so excited that someone called just to talk to him. We love you!

I Almost Shot Milk Out of My Nose...

Today on the way home I bought the boys each a carton of milk.

M: That's weird. This milk looks different than the milk at school, but its made by the same guy.
Me: What guy?
M: The milk guy. He made both of the milks.
Me: How do you know?
M: His name was on both cartons.
Me: What's his name?
M: Mr. Shakewell.

(Give it a second...it'll come to you:D)

Chris's Appointments...

He has an X-Ray on the fourth and an appointment with a specialist on the 20th. So its just a waiting game until then. So frustrating...

If You Give a Z a Sandwich...

If you give a Z a sandwich he will probably take the top off to see what kind it is. Then he will ask you if you have any mustard. You will go to the fridge, locate the mustard and take it to him. When you offer to put it on his sandwich he will remind you that he doesn't like mustard. So you will go back and put the mustard away. As soon as you are as far from the refrigerator as possible he will suddenly remember that he wants a glass of milk. You will pour him the milk and take it to him. Looking at the milk will remind him that their is strawberry syrup in the cupboard. He will probably want you to flavor his milk. Once you've made his strawberry milk he will most likely remember he is in the mood for white milk. You will tell him that he has to drink the strawberry milk first and he will probably cry about it for a while. Crying salty tears will remind him that he wanted some chips. You will have to show him every bag of chips in the house at least 3 times before he will decide to just have crackers. You bring him some crackers to eat, but he will probably not want those crackers and end up "accidentally" throwing them onto the floor. When you remind him that if he doesn't settle down and eat his lunch he will be removed from the table, he will suddenly remember that he is hungry. He will probably ask for something to eat. And, chances are, if he asks for something to eat, he will want anything but the sandwich you've already made.

Did You Know...

I am a HUGE Nickelback fan. Oh, and M loves Sheryl Crow.

(Nickelback was recently here in concert, but I didn't go. Mostly because a stay-at-home mommy of two would have looked REALLY out of place there.)

Our Little Secret...

Every Friday we drop M off at his homeschooler's program. Then Z and I go to McDonald's for a hash brown and play at the play land. Don't tell:D

Post Office...

I just had to stand in line at the post office for 20 minutes with a 2 1/2 year old to pick up a certified letter from Chris's company that contained nothing more than an HR update. Sigh.

Air Freshener...

Today Z was playing in the living room and M was working at his desk. M wandered into the kitchen and told me his room smelled "funky" and asked if he could spray it with air freshener. I told him sure and he headed back to his room. As he passed through the living room Z called after him, "Don't freshen up my trains, please!"

GREAT NEWS...

Tigger has been resurrected! Turns out he has an off switch that was simply in the wrong position. Now I am suddenly reminded of how precious life is and how really annoying that toy is!

RIP...

Chris just informed me that "Tigger is dead. I thought all he needed was a AAA bypass, but sadly Tigger has bought the farm and gone to that bouncing graveyard in the sky." Rest In Peace, Dear Bouncing Friend. TTFN.
