Happenings

I took the time to write a long post yesterday morning only to have Blogger erase it! I was so annoyed by this that I didn't attempt another post again all day.

This has been a really good week that followed a good week last week. The beginning of last week started with me really missing the old house. Things just didn't seem "normal" here. Since then, things have really started to feel normal. Bryon and I are getting back into our normal routine at night. We are sitting on our back porch again. It just feels good to be normal again.

The kids are at their last Mother's Day Out for the summer! My friends and I always go to a nice restaurant on the last lunch of "freedom" for a few weeks! I went into work this morning to take my annual test to continue being an employee. I have been working around 1-2 hours per year for a few years but I think that might change soon! More on that later. I am filling in for the current SLP next week as she is on vacation. I haven't seen a patient in several years so I am a little nervous!

Matthew got a new bike this weekend. It is a "Big Boy Bike" and he is thrilled with it! He looks so big. Someone asked me the other day, "So, when will he turn 7?" My thought was, "Not for a few years!" Seven sounds so big and his birthday will be here before you know it.

Matthew's old bike went to Thomas. It is red, thank goodness! We took the training wheels off his old bike. After Bryon did that, Thomas got on his old bike and started riding it without training wheels! I whispered in his ear that he started riding a two wheeler before Matthew did. This thrilled his soul! Who would have thought? I love how the kids always surprise me. Matthew was talking about training wheels yesterday. I informed him that he was using training wheels when he was 4 1/2. His response? "Aaah, yes. Those were the good ol' days. Yessir, the good ol' days!" What a nut!

We took the kids to Taco Bueno on Sunday night. ME refused to eat her quesadilla until we slathered it with guacamole! I swear, I am a pickier eater than my kids. She is hitting the terrible twos right about now. Her favorite thing to say is, "NO MA'AM!" She says this while her lips are puckered out. It is all I can do to keep from laughing. My parents say she comes by her dramatic side naturally. I wonder what they mean by that?

That's all for now. Hopefully, Blogger won't erase this post!

Aughhh! I'm so annoyed with Blogger right now. It won't let me post pics and I also have lost posts recently. Mad, mad, mad!

Your kids come up with some funny stuff!

I wonder where ME gets that, too? =-)

I love what Erma Bombeck said, "Normal is just a dryer setting."

Yep, Blogger is a tool of Satan some mornings. It tests my patience.
I wish if it were't going to post something it would automatically default to "draft" so at least don't lose what you spent time writing.

Glad you cooled off enough to write. Ha! My little Evan is rounding out of the "twos," thank goodness!

Funny kids! I'm having issues with blogger today too. I've tried to load pictures 3 times and it's not working!

Hello from Montreal, Canada.
My name is Wren. Sorry to hear about your dilemma with Blogger. I used to blog, and after having tried several, I found Xanga to be the best for me.
I wanted to leave you a comment to encourage you on a refreshing, decent blog.
Have a wonderful day!

I can just see ME saying "No Ma'am" like that...she is something else!

Good for Thomas...we are mastering the fine art of bike riding around here too (only with training wheels). Sam has finally gotten the hang of it and enjoys riding up & down the sidewalk (that is until it gets too hot...around 9:00 in the morning!)

Do you think that the terrible two's can start at... say 11 1/2 months? I swear that HAH is really hitting her dramatic stride. This week's words are "Uh huh" and "Uh uh" with vigorous shaking of the head. Yeah, I think I may be in trouble w/ this one!
