Great News!

Well, my problems have been solved!  What problems you ask?  Sean Jr. and kindergarten in fall of 2009.  Our town will be starting full day kindergarten.  So he will walk too and from school with his girlfriend.  With both of us working, I was worried about having to get him or bring him to school in the middle of the day.  

A good day

Or should I say somewhat productive which in the funk I have been in, is good.  Spent the day doing some work, and then when I got home and made dinner. Instead of vegging while dinner was cooking, which is the norm, I cleaned up the kitchen, and emptied the dishwasher.  After dinner I immediately did the dishes, put some wash in and am doing some more year end stuff to prep for the dreaded taxes. I feel good, I hope I am on the upswing now! 

A novel idea.....

Wash towels, dry towels, fold them and put them directly away, skip leaving them on the dryer.  I tried that today, it really wasn't too painful....  Maybe it was easier today, since I think I washed almost every towel in the house, and the closet was empty.  oppsie

Kids cleaning?? No they are playing a game

Welcome the next reality TV show, The clean up challenge.  You trick your not so quick thinking rugrats into playing a new game.  Pick up the crayons, is now pick up sticks!  Bam, they are fighting who gets to clean them up.  Put away the books, here comes an extreme challenge can 2 boys clean up faster then Mommy can make her lunch?!?!  LOL  So far we are doing great.  I am working and they are doing the challenges.  Now if I can only figure out what kind of game I can make out of folding laundry! hahaha 

Never ending laundry

Does it ever end?!  It seems I spend my life washing and pairing socks, and there are never any to be found.  Let's see 4 people, 8 feet, 7 days, that is a lot of socks!!!  Ok, I know many of you have more then that, which is even more insanity!  I don't know what I would do if we didn't have our ultra large washing machine, since I can never keep up these days.

I am sitting enjoying watching the snow fall. I am hoping for enough to go sleding tomorrow.  The boys can't wait to get their new sled down the hill. It has been a quiet day, my friend came over with her kids this morning, and then I braved the Shoprite which was full of crazy shoppers.  We spent the rest of the afternnon playing some games. It has been a nice day, now I need to get back to that dreaded task of laundry, and finsih undecking the halls

Tuesday, Tuesday....

All is quiet on the home front.  Time to get all the stuff done from last year, so we can start this year off right.  Accounting stuff that is.  With all my new found time, I should be able to do that.  

It was nice to be home yesterday and be able to cook a nice dinner.  Roast Beast (beef), mashed potatoes, broccoli, corn and fried noodles. I have strange children who won't eat mashed potatoes, so I take my leftover noodles and fry them up.  So yummy! It is something leftover from Grandma's days.  Which reminds me, I have to get eggs so I can make some of her yummy bread pudding. 

So not much really going on for us.  Back to school today for Sean, and Alexander is spending the day with Grandma.  He didn't want to keep me company today. I guess he is getting sick of me being around.  LOL  Until next time..... 

Happy New Year

Ok, Ok, I know it is January 4th, but this is the first I have had a chance to post an update.  We spent New Years Eve, and day in Maryland.  Went to visit DH's family for Christmas.  New Years Eve we had a quiet night in the hotel, and were all dozing come midnight.  On New Years Day we went past Charm City Cakes.  http://www.charmcitycakes.com/index2.html Which I had to stop the car and have my photo taken!! We spent the rest of the day doing the family thing, and then on Friday we went to the Baltimore aquarium.  We all had a fantastic time.  I think the sharks were the kids favorite thing to visit.

Things are back to normal, a New Year a new list of things to do.  While the kids are happily playing (5 mins, and no screaming, Yay!) I am going through draws with a big black garbage bag.  Really, 2009 has to be the year I can finally stop shaking so much when I throw things away!  LOL
