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!

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...
