today...


Not much has been going on in the household here lately. The potty training is back in business and we are pleased to announce that he has gone potty twice in the toilet. Yesterday and today. Only # 1...but it's a start. I am loving work. I think I love my hours more than anything. I get off before 2 everyday. I don't feel like I am at work very long even though I get there at 6:15 am! Jill is doing good. Her and I are going to plan her 10th birthday today. Its not until the second Saturday in March....but I like to have things done ahead of time...and she can help plan. Josh was out with shingles last week. That was random. No one else caught them. And he returned to work today. All to have his foot run over...but he is fine. My uncle leaves this Saturday to go back to Africa. We will have a get together later in the week. He isn't sure how long he will be gone. My grandma is finally feeling better. She is moving around alot better and is back to her old self. I do need to plan some treats for the kids to take to school/daycare for Valentines Day. Although I am enjoying time in the kitchen and teaching Jill a few things and letting Jaxon lick the bowls....I have thought about going store bought.....but it's just not personal. Jaxon has a visit with his Dr this Friday. He is becoming knock-kneed. Not sure what that is? I have a picture for that! It may not be anything serious at all. I mean he gets around just great. Walks and runs like nothing. It's just something we have noticed and would rather the Dr take a look just in case. If something does need to be done...we would rather fix it now than later when he is older and maybe into sports :) That is all for my Sunday Ramblings today. I do have 2 very intense football games to watch. I would like to see the Bears go to the Superbowl. Since the Saints couldn't and I will take blame for that since I wasn't wearing my jersey during all of their games!! Happy Sunday!

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

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...

Johnson Family 2013 ~ Year Review Part 1

   This has been a great year of change, growth and accomplishments. Jaxon turned 5 this year and started Pre-K. Jessie is in the 3rd grade and she turned 9 this year. Jill turned 12 and is greatly enjoying the 7th grade. Him and Jessie love doing crafts at the table. Paint, color, draw, cut and paste! They are defiantly my busy bodies!    This was the year for wild and wacky hair. Jessie went purple at the beginning of Jan. They chose crazy hair as a reward for staying on the A or A/B Honor Roll. They are now back to their original colors and, even though the wacky colors were fun and exciting, I am glad they are back to their roots :)    I had spent hours in 2012 on Pintrest. And one of my Resolutions were to start putting my pins to use! I have the girls bookshelf a makeover. And even pinned my own work on Pintrest!    I became "public" about my Alopecia. Only family and very few friends knew of my new condition. And once ...
