Alabama is an older country band that I grew up with. This song reminds me of the days of summer long ago, when I had very little responsibility other then going to school. I think about summer fun and lots of BBQ’s and bonfires. I like to play these for my kids to hear and love as well as the music from today.
Yet Another Doctor Appointment Today
My littlest guy is sick AGAIN! I am taking him to the doctors in a couple of hours. I hope that whatever it is that keeps coming back on him can be found and fixed. He is just miserable. I hate it that he keeps getting sick. One week he is throwing up and the next it is a cold.
He never got sick like this until he started Kindergarten. Now it is all the time. I am not happy about it and seriously considering calling the school board about it. The people who clean the classrooms are not doing their jobs well enough, and they really need to have the kids either wash their hands after recess or give them hand sanitizer to use, considering they go to the lunchroom right after recess.
All of the germs that are on the playground equipment that is shared with all the kids in the school are being taken with them to eat lunch, which is mainly finger foods. I will be making a few phone calls about this after I talk to the doctor.
Slow Moving Today
I must not have slept very well last night, because I am moving really slow this morning. It is almost noon and I haven’t gotten anything done yet. I woke up late, the kids are still sleeping and all I have accomplished is a shower and to make the coffee. Wow, that is so unlike me. I am usually up and at em first thing in the morning. I know that change to Daylight Savings Time is part of the reason my body takes a while to get used to the mandatory time change that most of us deal with twice a year.
I noticed that the other day when I stopped into Walmart to grab a few things for our trip to the creek that there are a ton of summer clothes on the racks. Reminded me that summer is just around the corner and the kids really need some new summer clothes. They say that this will be a killer summer, with a lot of high temperature days and a lot of humidity, sigh…
Anyway…I have a few things that have to be done today, but other then that, I will be taking it easy other than spending some time online looking for some deals on the much needed summer wardrobes. I hate shopping at the local box stores and try not to shop there except when I have no other options. There are so many promotions to be found online, no need to go out and spend my time fighting the crowds and the attitudes that go along with all of that. Besides just about everyone shops there and I like having my kids wearing clothes that can’t be found here in town.
One of my favorite websites they have the cutest fashions for both girls and boys that are extremely affordable, especially when you can take advantage of the promotions, discounts, vouchers and/or coupons that they make available to their online customers. I always look for free shipping. These fees can add up quickly if not taken into consideration while adding items into your virtual shopping cart that they provide, as most websites do these days. There is nothing worse than taking your time to select items, add them to your cart and then find out that the shipping and handling costs have added up to more than your budget can handle.
Wally World
I just got back from wally world and geez it was expensive. Why it that whenever you go to Walmart, you can’t walk out of there without spending three hundred dollars. That is what today’s trip cost me. Two hundred dollars worth of groceries and a hundred for two pairs of shoes and two pairs of pants. Unbelievable. Well now that everything is put away, I can concentrate on work and get a few things done. There is the ever present laundry that I always have to do, plus a few household chores as well.
I was unable to get the boots my son wanted as they didn’t have his size. He was not happy about it. They were one size bigger, but I wasn’t about to buy them and have them flopping all over the place when he plays. The lady said that they should have some more in this coming week, so I will have to go back and check. Anyway, I have stuff to do. Later gators!
Tetris
The very best home video game ever is with out a doubt Tetris, we can sit and play it for hours at a time and have so much fun doing just that. We bought the game many years ago for our Playstation 2 and we still play it from time to time and even our 5 year Grandson plays it with us.
We have tried to find a game like it for the WII and have not found what we are looking for yet, but we will keep looking and I think we will find something close if they do not make a Tetris game for the WII.
Good Morning
Good morning peoples. Coffee was ready, the kids and my man are off to school and work, so I can start work early and get so much more done.
My new Keurig Coffee Machine has become my newest BFF! I can’t believe how quick and easy it has become to get a nice hot cup of coffee in approximately 3 minutes. Just look at how many flavors there are and I’m sure that there a plenty that aren’t pictured here. It seems that there are new and exciting flavors arriving each week at the stores that I go shopping at!
I am in the best of moods today. I have only some computer work and one load of laundry to do today. I scoured the house yesterday, and believe it or not, it is still clean. Hooray for me! Now on ward’s and upward today. Have an awesome day people, because I know I will.
Fighting Kids
Oh today has been one of those days where the kids just cannot seems to get along. They are flat driving me up a wall. I have tried everything to get them to stop, but even sending them outside to play has not helped. The smallest one is very whiny and the older ones just keep antagonizing him. It is enough to drive a sane person completely nuts.
I am going to have to separate them soon, if for no other reason then to get some peace and quiet. I am even thinking of sending them to bed a little early. They are definitely not going to like that, as the weekends are when I allow them to stay up late. I do that for two reasons. The first reason is so that we can watch movies together and have our movie night. The second reason is so that they will sleep in a little longer and then I can sleep in longer as well. There is a method to my madness. Believe it. Now to go separate them again.
Got My Girl Scout Cookies Today
What a great surprise to come home and find my order of Girl Scout cookies were waiting on my porch. The girls and their mom must have spent all afternoon driving around town and delivering their cookie orders.
My favorite is the Samoas – they have chocolate and caramel and coconut. I try to only eat two each day, but they are very tempting. If I didn’t have any willpower I could easily eat the entire box in one night!
Music in the family
My oldest son has decided to take up music as his life’s ambition. I will support this dream because I love my son and I love music. I have bought him a Reason Drum kit and it seems that Reason drum kits are the top of the line and that is what he wants to fill his dream.
All of the musicians that I know here in music city are talking about the royalty free music sites and this has gotten my son to talking about royalty free music and I am not sure if he know a lot about it or not, I love the music sites here in Nashville and I hope to see my son playing there someday soon.
Back To School
Right now we are being over loaded with commercials about Back To School. All the supplies are on sale in an effort to make sure all of the little kiddies will have everything they need to wear and use while in school for the 2014-2015 school year.
It is hard to believe that in just a few short years we will be watching our daughter climb up the stairs that lead into the big yellow school bus. That bus will be taking her to school and away from our 24/7 watch. It will be exciting but scary for all of us, not something that I’m looking forward to at all.
