Back on Track...

My babies are back on track...They have been away from school for a couple of weeks. (year round school is strange)
I have a new focus on being a better mom...Help them more with reading and math. Help more with home work. Help them to be better at school and have a better understanding of what they are learning. I need to not lose my patients...Be strong and help them.
My boys will only be first graders for a few more months...I need to help them to be the best little first graders around!!

Love this!

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. -John Wooden

My baby Girl....

I put my baby girl into her bed and tucked her in...She was smiling and being oh, so cute!! I walk out of her room and as soon as I closed the door I hear some awful screaming coming from her room....I open the door ask her what is wrong and she says this

"Momma the alligator is biting my toes!!!! Hurry momma kiss them better!!!"

I had to kiss some of the cutest toes around :-) I have no idea where the alligator came from...But, it sure was cute!!

I really love little kids!!!!

What day is it again???

OK...I did it...I sent my little Thing 1 off to school on a Sunday...Thinking it was Monday... Opps! He was such a good little boy went over to the neighbors house rang the bell...The neighbors dad came to the door and told my sweet little Thing 1 "Ummm...Its Sunday!"
My sweet little Thing 1 marches back home and demands to know "Whats wrong with you!!! Its Sunday!" (I dont ever let him talk to me like that...But, I was really wondering what was wrong with me too!!)
Ok....What makes this story even worse is...My sweet little Thing 2 was sick so I called the school and left a message saying he was staying home because he is sick (roll my eyes)

All I can say is "Senior Moment at 29!!!"

What am I going to do when I am older! LOL!!!
So embarrassing :-)

This touched me today...

The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper. -- Aristotle

Jr. Basketball

My little Thing 2 played Jr. Basketball today without his brother...He was lost without him....It was super cute and super sad at the same time....He just stayed in the middle of the court watching the kids play (he still had a lot of fun!!!). I forget how much my boys need each other!! They came together (being twins) so they can be each others strength!!!!

I think we have figured it out!!

My little Thing 2 has Asperger's Syndrome.
I have know he was right there with Autism since he was really little. But, now the psychologist at the school is testing My Thing 2 for Asperger's Syndrome...He matches the symptoms exactly!!
It is nice to finally know what makes my Sweet little Thing 2...Do the things he does :-)
I have pretty much assumed it was Asperger's Syndrome from all the things I have read....But, it sure is nice to have someone else tell you that is what they are thinking too!

Coupons?

Because of the huge lack of funds I have...I am going to try to collect coupons and use coupons for grocery shopping. I have tried this before and never really followed through. I would really like to save maybe 50 bucks a month doing this. I bet I can. If I really "use" them :-)
I might even venture into using online coupons...To do that though I need to buy printer ink...So that might have to wait. (why does printer ink have to cost 50 bucks??)
I hate spending money to save money!!

Mom...I think I am ready!

So my little Thing 1 came to me today to announce that he is ready for his own cell phone...OK, What?? He is only in first grade!!! He thinks he is so grown up! A cell phone would be handy..But, not yet! So the question is what age do you get a child a cell phone??

Strep Throat....

Is OVER!!! Thank Goodness!!!! I declare it to be the worst case of Strep ever!!!!
(Please God don't ever let me go through that again!!!!)

Nike +

To help keep me motivated on the treadmill my DH bought me these really neat shoes called Nike+ (http://nikerunning.nike.com) So far they have worked (well for like a week..But, who's counting). I have joined challenges and feel like I let myself down if I don't try to jog everyday. I really hope I keep this up :-)

I watched a rerun of Biggest loser today and I weigh about the same as some of the contestants...{sigh}...Of course I am a lot taller then they are but still(I pray I am anyway)...I need to get my butt into shape!!! I need to keep thinking ~~~skinny jeans~~~
