Tuesdays are so .... so...useless...


I really don't enjoy Tuesdays. They are that little waste of space in between the beginning of the week and the middle of the week. No one ever plans on doing anything on a Tuesday. You have lunch plans on Mondays to "get you thru the dreaded Monday!!" or the "lets do something Wednesday, its hump day!" Then of course you have your Friday plans. They kick off the weekend. For me, here as of late, all my days run together so everyday feels like a Tuesday to me. I have a mental list of to-dos. Tuesday is the day that Jaxons room gets the complete over haul. Bedding changed, clothes washed and put up, all his toys put up and organized, books back on the bookshelf. All for him to come home today and turn it all upside down. So much for an organized room for "hump day"! Last Tuesday I put his room cleaning off a day, so he was home to help me. Which by the way nothing really got done. His idea of helping me is doing things like in the picture over there. The fact that the washer hasn't spun out of control and walked out the back door blows my mind. I have to check his laundry basket regularly. He puts his shoes in there, books when he doesn't want to read them anymore, toys, balls, puzzle pieces to his books, his sisters headbands. So I have to remind myself every time I take his laundry out that I need to check for those things. I guess the next time the cat goes missing I will look for her under the sheets at the bottom of the laundry basket! HAPPY (dreaded) TUESDAY :~)

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
