A few stories from the past few days:
*I had the unexpected surprise of having Matthew home with me yesterday! Matthew kept telling me on Sunday night that he didn't have school on Monday. "Yeah right, Matthew. Good try!" He was adamant about it and it is unusual for Matthew to get something like that mixed up. We went over to see some friends on Sunday night who informed us that their kids were spending the night with friends b/c there wasn't school the next day! I never received anything in Matthew's folder about it, but it was listed on the internet. Another friend, whose daughter was in a different class, didn't know until Friday when her daughter's teacher said not to bring her b-day cupcakes to school on Monday b/c of the inclement weather day that was not needed.
We had a relaxing day just the four of us. We had a picnic and enjoyed the slow pace of the day. I can't remember a day when there was NOTHING on my schedule. I enjoy all the activities, but yesterday was pure heaven.
*My mother lasted 55 years without a black eye. Matthew put an end to that on Friday night! We went to a Cinco de Mayo party on Friday night so my parents watched the kids. They spent most of the time outside playing ball with the kids. ME started begging my dad to swing her, so Mom took over as pitcher (I would have loved to see that!). She threw one to Matthew and he hit a line drive right into her eye ball. Poor Matthew felt horrible about it. Poor Mom sustained the first injury of baseball season.
*ME is now out of the highchair! Since we are having a garage sale soon, I thought we could try to put ME at a booster seat at the table and see what happened. She loved it and has REFUSED to set foot into the highchair since that first time! I am all too happy to see it go. I will be sad to see the crib go and several other baby items, but the highchair took up too much room in my kitchen!
*I look like I have gone a few rounds with Mother Nature. Bryon and I were working on our lot on Sunday night around dusk. It was my job to pull ivy off of the large oak trees in front. Yesterday morning, I started itching and haven't stopped. I have between 25-30 mosquito bites all over my body and poison ivy under my eye, nose, and chin. My left eye is swollen like I have been in a fight! Bryon got nothing. I think mosquitos just love me b/c Bryon and I can be sitting outside and I will have them all over me and Bryon is just fine. I must be super sweet!
Think that's all for now!
Had a thought.

Sounds like now would be the perfect time to do a Mother/Daughter picture. I hope both of you get better really quickly.
I had a HUGE shiner when I got back to work from Christmas break. I tried to nap with my non-napping 4-year-old and he clocked me doing one of his somersaults in the bed.
It was so funny, because I would completely forget about it and my students would stare and then look away. Then I would remember.
I guess injuries aren't reserved for just the mommies!
Oohhh, mosquito bits and poison ivy...bless your heart!
Correction-
I showed a good friend today about my multiplying mosquito bites. Turns out, they are chigger bites. She has them too and I was with her the night they appeared. They are in all the "right places". I ran out and got Chiggerex so I hope to find relief soon.
I hated when Sam gave up the highchair -- I loved keeping him confined for a few minutes when I needed him to stay in one place! I am going to try to keep Seth in as long as possible no matter how much room it takes up in our kitchen.
Yes, Kristen, I was concerned about this. That is why I kept the highchair up for an extra week. However, she will stay in her booster seat as happy as a clam for 1/2 hour or more if I have a steady supply of fruit and juice for her!
