Dreaded dinner question

I asked my oldest to work with dad on making dinner last night. So he climbs on the floor with dad and said "I'll call Chinese and you go pick it up." Now tell me that's not a great mind at work there.

It's almost summer!!

I am one of those strange parents who looks forward to the school breaks and summer with my kids. Especially right now!! The oldest has started to revert back to having a hard time at school, when I asked him about it yesterday I was told "I am worried about the bullies coming from Belle River to Palms." I know there has been a change with Washington closing but when my six year old is worried about who will be at his school next year - WOW!!! I was heartbroken for him last night.

This morning after the rumble of thunder that shook the house - I mean it might as well have been an earthquake. The youngest looks outside and says "Baton down the hatches mom" Can you imagine why we would pick a Pirate theme for his birthday party?

Spring is officially here, the flowers look great, the garden is a large muck filled area, the chickens are outside (well 10 0f them anyways), the ducks are on the way outside, the pond is cleaned and fish are swimming in there, the grass has been cut even in the swampy side yard once. I guess look around and even with the negative - there is always positive to be found.

Have a great day!!

Monday!!

It really is Monday this time. However, it is a good Monday here in Michigan. You can tell because

1) The boys can actually wear tennis shoes to school. There may be snow left on the ground and it might be mucky out but there toes are not going to break from the frigid cold (that is next week again)

2) When you use the windshield washer fluid in the van - it actually works. Do you know how long I have been throwing snow on the windshield?

The weather is great and Valentine's Day is coming. Enjoy today!!!

Is It Monday?

I have looked at the calendar numerous times and fail to see the humor in today. I attended a PTO meeting last night to get more information on the closing of one of our local elementary schools. Any of the three listed will affect the kids so we sit and wait. . .

I spoke to my brother and sister who had to administer CPR on the neighbor this morning. I mean thank goodness they were there and they both have the skills to do that. So they wait to hear how he is doing and they wait. . .

The phone rings from the credit union-which can't possibly be a good sign and they inform me that our credit and debit cards have been returned as one of the numbers listed on the hacked list from their main security house. A hacker now has both numbers to our main account so again we sit and wait . . .

Again I ask - is it Monday or is this day just one cruel joke........
