Five Things I Love About Today

1. It's April 15th!

2. I get to wear jeans to work today.

3. Aunt Lisa is coming to stay over the weekend to take care of my kiddos.

4. Just 24 hours till my trip!

5. The kids will get to see their dad soon. They miss him like crazy.

Ten On Tuesday

1. Kayley gave this to me in an envelope that said "from mom."

Such a jokester

2. The kids talked to Tyler tonight. It made them both sad but they prayed for him before bed tonight that he would get better soon.

3. An article on Yahoo today spoke of the worst kids pasta meal at a restaurant. It was some alfredo thing from the cheesecake factory and it had 1800 calories! I mean, I would eat it but my kids? No way man.

4. I got three hours of sleep last night. It was not enough.

5. I'm so glad that Kim and Cory's baby is a boy! Yay for Levi!

6. The kids and I had a pillow fight tonight. Kayley packs a pretty hard beatdown when she hits me the right way. Cole just wanted me to steal his pillow and beat him with it!

7. School gets out in two months and Kayley will almost be a first grader. I cannot believe it. I feel like I should already be making summer plans!

8. Happy Birthday tomorrow, Krista!!! How is it possible that we're all in our middle to upper 20's now? Madness!

9. Cole stays at school all day on Wednesdays. You would think he wouldn't like it but he absolutely loves it! He loves bringing lunch and taking a nap at school. There is nothing like knowing my child is content while I work.

10. I tried to upload a video of Cole but it didn't work. It's really funny so when I have time I'll try again.

Tuesday

I could look at my life today and say its terrible Tuesday. This would be my default reaction. Instead today I decided that although its freakin hard, I'm going to look for the good things, like Coles crazy bed head today, my pay raise, Kayleys farts that come often and loudly,and my diet coke and lean pocket for lunch. Above all I'm at peace in knowing that my life might blow right now but it will get better no matter what happens. And Friday morning will be all kinds of better since I will be on my way to Missouri!

A Good Day!

Today is the busiest day I've ever had at work but it is a great day!

I was told earlier that I get to keep my job and I got a $2 raise! Woo hoo! Thank you God!

It can only get better from here.

I made brownies last night. It was absolutely necessary.

God please let today be better.

I have nothing exciting to blog about

I bought the kids legos today. It was the best thing I could ever do. They were perfectly happy building spaceships all afternoon. We read lots of books today too. Kayley reads so well and she surprises me when she reads giant words. She's quite a kid.

This morning Cole was naked after his shower he ran down the hall and proceeded to spread open his rear end and shake it while making a pooping sound with his tongue. I couldn't help but laugh. It was quite gross though.

This week should be crazy. The 15th is almost here!

Whew!

I got so much done today! I have nothing left to do but blog about my day. I managed to get everything on my list accomplished (it took me all of three minutes in Ross to find the perfect jewelry box) plus a trip to feed my aunts birds, a visit with Grandpa Frank and a bike ride over the bridge to Mound for some play time. The kids tried to play basketball with me and it was hilarious. I took a couple of pictures while the kids were playing.

She would stop and pose in the middle of digging a hole!




On a side note, who is this Justin Bieber character who is like 10 years old and singing about doing anything to get his baby back? What could he possibly know about heartbreak at his age? And I'm in no way, shape or form racist but I only spotted like three white kids in this video. And I cannot stop watching it. Ha!
