Sorry it is so dark. This was like at 930 at night and they were going nuts. Ryan loves this show and "Ohhhhhh" and falls and is just crazy! Jason and Zach too! Aug 09

And then there is Zachary, throwing my pillows EVERYWHERE! Trouble has a name.

I posted 5 new quick clips to flickr today. You can follow the link to see them all bigger too. This is just random play from August 15.

Things to share.

This is the note that was in Jason's agenda from his teacher. I can tell that I am going to love photographing this weekly. Then there is Zachary, eating out the peanut butter from his sandwich.

The attitude in the south has risen again.

I just got a call from the hubby and the truck was going to cost $2000 to fix, but our warranty covered all but a $100 deductible! I was sweating like crazy when he dropped the $2g's bomb.

Yesterday I go into Jason's room and all these clean clothes are thrown all over the room. Later I catch Zachary opening the dresser and throwing out clothes, over his head with both hands.

Yesterday I was in the kitchen and I hear Lincoln whining at the garage door entrance. This is not the door to go out and potty, so I am wondering why he is whining there.. I go over, the door is cracked open and Zachary is out there! So Lincoln must of sensed that something was wrong with the whole picture. Good Boy, Lincoln. I had opened the door earlier, but must of not shut it completely. Luckily, the garage door was down or Trouble would of been MIA. Yikes.

Tonight Jacques has a dine in so the kids and I are on our own.

Tomorrow we have karate and a retirement party to attend.

I am thinking of reading the Dead Until Dark series. Any feedback on it? It's the series that they are making into HBO's True Blood series.

I am also happy to announce that yesterday, Jason was elected Student Council Representative of his class. He won with 15 votes. There are only 17 kids in his class. Hello, Mr. Popular. He gave a speech to his class mates about why he should be elected. Ohh to be a fly on the wall.

More later now that I have a glass more than half full (of tequila) attitude. Hooray for Friday and Happiness. Cheerio!

9 days till we leave for Scotland

The New Darker, Shorter Do.

and another one bites the dust..

geeze. it is 9:30 at night and i am beat. today involved contractors so will tomorrow, not to mention, writing out their check. there was a tow truck needed, with an out of pocket $95 price tag plus getting whatever is wrong fixed. it was the dodge. it's at the dealership. i was 15 minutes late to the salon, but the red wine i indulged in while there helped with the GAD. jacques was going to be 45 minutes late getting jason picked up from school, so i called and arranged for him to go to after school care, but worried until jacques picked him up cause i figured he thought abandonment, but he wants to go everyday! so no worry there. maybe every now and then, he can go. BUT there is great grade school news and hair photos, stay tuned. i need a beer and a horse sedative.

and it has been one of those days..

and it still must go on. zachary cried almost all day about his toe then about the band aid on his. he wanted held and carried a lot. ryan wasn't much better in the attitude department. ugh. then we had speech. i finally gave up and put ryan down and rocked zach. they both are out. now we are doing homework and we still have karate. plus i need groceries and i still have a ton of laundry and housework to accomplish because the contractor will be here around 8 tomorrow. so i will have no time to do anything then. i have a headache and could go for some booze. i think we will eat at ryan's tonight cause i have a coupon and that will free up all the time that i usually have to slave over a hot stove. kidding. i never really slave over a hot stove. wipeout is on tonight and i am hoping to get a shower in too somewhere. i may need to pencil that in next week. i really need to have my wisdom teeth pulled.
