Mines' a nut.
She has hot and cold mixed up. Good luck to anyone who wants to take a crack at sorting this out.
G: (shivering on the couch) I'm hot!
S: G, are you shivering?
G: (nods)
S: THEN you are COLD, not HOT!
G: (nods) right, yes, I'm hot
S, like the rest of us, just sighed and covered her up with the blanket.

Conversations heard today
G: "MOM, I just saw a cute whale" (announced while sitting behind me in the truck)
S: What G? you saw a tooth fairy?
G: NO, a whale....but maybe it was a toothfairy
??? says me
----------------------------------------------------------------
Me: H you MUST find your glasses (this after she say she has NO idea where they are and hasn't seen them for days, as this has happened before I'm not thrilled lets just say)
Minutes later after arriving home
H: Mom, I found them, they were in my glasses case
Me: You make me crazy H
H: I know Mom, I know
-----------------------------------------------------------
Over heard while J is shining up his trombone
"I sure like to keep my stuff clean"
ROFL!!!! but internally..... I didn't laugh......I didn't even know how to respond..... LIKES to keep his stuff clean? HE who spent 4 hours cleaning his room lastweek because I had had it and was ready to get out a snow shovel and go to it! LIKES to keep things clean. HA!
He's going to love it when I list pick up dog do on his afternoon list of things to do
------------------------------------------------
Ever notice how the number of word needed to convey a message goes down in accordance with a childs age?
2 year old: Mom, I'm going outside to play in the sand and I will open the door by myself, bye Mom
11 year old: Bye!

Summer colds.....
I thought S was having an allergy attack on Thursday...and she probably was as the air quality here was awful. But I thik it was more then that...as G developed a runny nose....and now myself and the older two have as well. Not bad bad, just enough to make me greatful for having little on the calendar today. And as its suppose to rain, its the perfect excuse to lay on the couch and watch TV.
So...the point of this post?
Well, apparently it was to divert my attention long enough to allow the 2 year old time to drop the finger nail clipper into the gallon of milk sitting here from breakfast.
Could be a long day.

Another week...no wait two....
AHHHHH!!!!!! My summer is slipping away, it will be August in just a few days!!!
What a time. I've had numerous fantabulous blog posts fly through my head, and I just don't seem to get here before they fall out again. Two were about adoption issues, I'm hoping those ones filter back in.
We made it too Ohio and back. Whew. S was a fabulous flower girl in my opinion.
We jumped right back into summer upon our arrival. We got to attend J's last baseball game where he hit a triple and a homerun. It was SOOOOO fun to watch!! We went swiming, we went to the library, we've did house chores, we've read books and talked with friends. All good summer fun.
Tonight I'm listening to my hubby play corn holes in the yard with the kids (sometimes it is very nice to just let him take over) tomorow night we have a concert to attend, the next two after that picnics.
I'm writing all this down so that in a few weeks, when summer is over and we are latched back into the routines that govern fall and winter I can reflect back and the mostly peaceful content feeling I've had over this past week.
Sure, there are plenty of things to worry and be concerned about. Some issues extended family related that have kept me up at nights. But I'm putting them up there on the shelf with those dang rocks I put away in June. Right next to those will be any business worries and economy concerns.
I'm doing what I set out to do, ENJOY THIS SUMMER. :D

The week in review
It might be a more tangible goal, to review each week instead of guilting myself for not keeping up with things better. Actually blogging in indeed necessary if one ever wants to reflect back on what it is we actually DID that summer of 09.
This past week we:
Cleaned the house (this is an accomplishment in the summer I tell ya!!)
The renter is GONE!! (and the woman of the house STILL just smiles even though the renter left the full size fridge FULL of unidentifiable food items, or at least I THINK it was food items, piles of dirt everywhere and a smell that is undiscribable done there....the woman who is now the ONLY woman of the house still rejoices)
Packed for camping
Went camping
Played with kids at lake to include, tubing, boating, snugging chilled bodies, sand digging, feet burying and the like
Roasted marshmallows
Slept late
Stayed up late
Saw fireworks
Got tannish colored skin even with 50 SPF sunscreen and no burn!!
Acquired 25ish mosquito bites, once again Mom comes out the winner on that one!!
Enjoyed my kids company at a restaurant where their manners were impecable, they DO have them hooray!!
Cleaned out a camper
Arranged empty suitcases in the new van to see how many I can fit in there as prep for the great road trip begins in earnest this week!
Scrubbed sand out of 3 curly haired little girls
Snuggled 4 kids under once again clean fleece blankets
Ate nachos WAAAAAY to late at night with my hubby breaking all the diet rules
Another good one!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE summer!!!
