Since the oatmeal was put out of reach, DJ found the next best thing to spread out all over the kitchen.....bread crumbs!
Getting ready to go to work in Daddy's boots.
Looking at little wore out, those boots must be heavy.
"Mom, I really am sick of that snow""I want to go pulling and to see monster trucks and to the beach to cool off in the water"
We did our best with a bath "pool" party.
DJ danced and laughed and clapped and cheered at the Sesame Street Live show.
DJ couldn't resist Peyton's froggy boots.
Is that Cam's Kid under that hat?
Oh, that is my kid in that shirt!
Playing school, at home.
Hey Cowboy!That is the email I got today while I stopped at my desk for a five minute break from budget meetings, open enrollment meetings, stolen trailer meetings, FSA meetings, HSA meetings, high deductible health insurance meetings and payroll company meetings, oh, yeah, four-o-one kay meetings too. Ha, I just had to spell 401k out because that is the kind of strange frustrating silly day I had today.
5 am - alarm goes off
5:30 am - alarm goes off for the 3rd time
6:20 am - okay, I guess I better stop hitting the snooze button
6:40 am - I have 10 minutes to do my hair, get Peyton's packpack ready for school, wake the kids up, get them ready and out the door, oh crap, gotta make Cam's lunch too.
6:45 am - Snuggle Cam in an effort to get him to wake up, rubbed his back for five minutes and his feet for two minutes, now I am really going to be late
7:10 am - Cam helps get the kids ready, and out the door we go. 20 minutes behind schedule
7:35 am - Drop Peyton off at school in tears, ):
7:50 am - Drop DJ off with Bullet, happy as can be (;
8:15 am - arrive at work, 15 minutes late, everyone is too busy to notice, whew
8:15 am to 10:00 am - listen to co-worker yell across the room with a mouth full of her breakfast. Cringing the entire time
10:00 am - question another co-worker about the post office, she straight up lies to me to cover her butt. Really cringing and kind of aching in frustration.
10:10 am - snap at another co-worker out of frustration - apologize immediately
10:15 am - apologize again for snapping
10:30 am - Prep for meetings to intro the high deductible health insurance plan with HSA to employee's.
11:30 am - Go to lunch, treat myself to a cheese burger from DQ!!
11:35 am - realize that the cheeseburger is really a NACHO cheeseburger. AAAAAHHHHH! That is like going to the bakery for a Custard Donut and Getting JELLY!!!!
That is just till Noon, you can just about imagine the rest of the day.
Dear Friend ~
I am posting to my blog tonight, while supper is on the stove, DJ is emptying ALL of the books from the bookshelf and Peyton is telling him to stop or she will spank him. Oh, now she is helping him remove the books. But, it is very much worth it to get this blog updated. I know that someday my kids will enjoy looking back at this and I should really be better about updating it more often so there is never a void in those little lives of theirs. I truly appreciate the reminder. Now, as for your being bored, thank you for pointing that out, I will be sure to send you plenty of work so we do not have to worry about you accidentally closing your eyes for fifteen minutes and catching the winks of sleep that I desperately need on days like this. I hope you are laughing out loud at your desk while you read this because you know that I am going to do it all over again tomorrow. An update on the kids, DJ has now emptied ALL of the stuffed animals onto the floor too, so now I think every inch of the carpet is covered. Back to you, so what is the plan for this weekend? Do you want to go to the Zoo? I was thinking about taking the kids to the Zoo on Saturday afternoon, you know, burn off some energy and maybe see how well mannered the animals are vs. The Boy and The Girl. Oh no! Petie is eating the play doh the kids forgot to put away, thank you so much for giving them the play doh, they really do love it, but they aren't very good at putting it away. Did you know that Cam sent in that kit we talked about a week ago, hopefully we will know something within a week or two, answer a lot of questions, I hope. You know that I love you, even though when under the influence you tend to beat me up. I don't think I am going to proof this letter either, I just wunged it. Till next time, remember that I love you and I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for being you. You put a smile on my face even when I am drowning at my desk.
Have a great day~ Erica
Peyton and her goofy cousins, making faces for the family picture of Rita's Great Grandchildren.
