Hubby's home

Hubby came home last night after being gone for 7 days. I know he has a job that requires a lot of travel at times, however, he hasn't travelled in quite a long time, several months. I am a bit rusty at it and it was a challenge this past week. 3 kids, 3 extracurriculars, while working was tough. Thankfully I have great friends who helped me out with some of it, or I'd probably be in a corner babbling worse! My goal this week is to eat less chocolate and restart the exercise and maybe even eat a veggie or 2! But with Halloween candy in the house, can't promise a thing! We missed you honey, more than you know. xoxoxoxo

Joke present???

As you all know, it was recently the middle childs birthday. Being that the hubby was in MI all last week, my SIL sent the b-day gift home with him, thus arriving home last night. The middle kiddo excitedly opened all of gift, knowing my SIL knows them well and gives well appreciated gifts. She got a very cool Lego house building kit, window markers, and the gift she wanted most.....Zoo Tycoon for DS. She was so happy with all of them and couldn't wait to play with each. She asked if she could play with the Lego's first which I shot down because it was 8:30 pm and bedtime was approaching, so she happily chose to play Zoo Tycoon. Opening the case, she found no game in it!!!! Now, I know it is most likely at my SIL home, "tested" by my nephew, and somehow didn't make it back to the case before wrapping. The look on her face was priceless!!! Like we were all playing some cruel joke on her, poor kid. She kept waiting for us to let her in on the punchline. I chatted with my SIL this am, the game has been found and mailed to the duped kid. I can't help but giggle though, I really wish I had caught the look on her face on camera. Oopsie!

I believe......

I believe there is Prozac in Twix bars........or at least some kind of magic!!!

Master of Disaster

Ok, the middle child had a doctor appt. this afternoon for Tetnus booster, menangitis, HPV, and flu shots. They told me she wouldn't feel great today and definitely sore from the Tetnus booster and HPV shots, and of course they were correct. She has a headache, tired and arms feel like sore lead, thus she is home with me this afternoon. At 1:30, I get a call from the elementary school nurse, stating the youngest is there with an injury. Now, those of you who have been reading for some time and the ones who know us, know we are the accident prone family. I blame the hubby's genes! :) I have now dubbed the youngest as the Master of Disaster because of many reasons, but mostly for his ability to obtain eye injuries and kickball injuries. He has already been to the nurse twice, not once, but TWICE after being poked in the eye. Once with a pencil and the second with a ruler. Neither were serious thank goodness. Last year he managed to fall on a jagged rock while playing kickball and getting 10 stitched and a knee imobilizer on his leg. Today he combined the 2.....kickball and eye injury. As stated by the child, he was the pitcher and accidentally rolled it too slowly to the kicker, thus making it very easy for the kicker to get a great shot. He took a very hard kicked ball to the left eye. Hard enough to knock him on his booty and silly for a minute. I think he will get a pretty good shiner out of the deal. Of course he will wear it proudly while I will get funny looks. After the day I've had so far......It's five o'clock somewhere!!!!

Grumble!!!

Hubby left for the week yesterday for the long drive to MI to assist his mom after some surgery. He wasn't 6 hours up I-75 when things started to break in the house!!!! GRRRRRRR......First, something is wrong with the garage door sensor, it will close, but won't stop closing, so it pushes all the way to the ground and then goes back up. Second, the dryer ate, yes literally, ate one of the teenagers cami's. I had to cut it out with scissors and when I tried to restart it, it makes a very loud banging sound! :( I wasn't even 1/2 done with the laundry because of the birthday celebration. Boo Hoo! So, today I am off to the laundrymat to finish the laundry and placing a call to the repair man. On the bright side, hubby made it safely to his sisters in MI. Always gotta find the bright side, even through gritted teeth.
