I was so lazy today

Today I did homeschooling- started out with a little brisk 1 mile walk/run for Taylor's PE. I read Harry Potter. I did maybe 2 loads of laundry. Cleaned my kitchen. Read a little more Harry Potter. Went to Walmart with Ezra and Cagey. Made dinner. Took Tates to karate. Now I'm sitting on my bum blogging. I hate being so lazy, but at least my body doesn't ache all over. Now it's time for a little Glenn Beck and So You Think You Can Dance!! woohoo!!

It's been five years

I haven't talked to my sister in five years. Yesterday- it was five years. I remember the morning she passed away I was trying to bribe her to eat the organic oatmeal I made her. She felt so awful and I was trying to cram oatmeal down her! I still hear her voice- remember her laugh, remember our jokes. I just want to talk to my sister again.

Tates lost her 1st front tooth!

She cried for about a half hour because she's afraid people will laugh at her. Hopefully the tooth fairy will make her feel a bit better about losing teeth :)


The bug is so cute these days. He loves to move around the living room getting into whatever he can- power cords, cagey's toys, dog's leash- whatever.

Farewell my fabulous find

I found these shoes online in gray and I thought they were the most fabulous shoes ever. Well they were only 50$ and I thought- they are mine!! Of course they didn't have my size or a half size bigger in gray- they had a 7.5 in purple so I went for it even though I REALLY wanted them in gray. I figured they would be a bit big but I would be able to make them work. I had to know for sure. They came today and I was so excited. I put them on and to my great disappointment there was about a half inch of excess shoe behind my heels when I wear them with tights- they are extremely high and so my toes slide right to the end. I just can't keep them- too big, too uncomfortable, and too hard to walk in. So- to these fabulous shoes I bid you adieu- I love you:)

This is why...

I love homeschooling... this is them in their "boat" ;)
Taylor is entertaining the Bug while I make dinner- with Homestar on the computer. It kept him quiet for practically the whole time I was cooking.

I don't have a picture of why I do not love homeschooling- maybe I'll have the sense to grab the camera next time Tates screams and cries about how much she hates school- but I doubt it. You'll just have to believe me when I say- it's hard some days!

Bug is 4 months old- this is his excited face.
This is his happy face.
And this is the super closeup :) sweet face!

The Bug

This is the bug- just a few days ago. He's outgrown his moses basket. He fell asleep by himself just like this- I think it was because he couldn't move. We've been forced to set up his crib. The days of the moses basket are over- saddy.
