Wrapping up summer..

17 days and school will start. 16 more mornings where we can sleep in. 16 more nights of staying up late. 17 more days of the kids eating every thing in the house. I will be glad to be back on a routine. I think the girls will be glad for the early mornings, although Jessie loves waking up before 7 am during the summer, getting her out of bed at 6:45 am during the school year is like pulling teeth! I will be glad to have the house quiet again. My grocery trips alone and quiet and no need for all the extra crap they think they need to get by on the long hot days.

 We had a good summer. A relaxing summer. Concerts in the park. Friends birthday parties. Family Reunion. BBQs with family. A wonderful 4th of July. A week at the lake. Jill and I finally finished the 10 seasons of Friends. I finished a book! We had long lazy days at the pool. But I am glad its almost over. Jill is highly anticipating seeing all her friends, where as Jessie is already counting down the days to next summer. Jaxon...well...hes just hanging on to those lazy mornings and the summer mohawk! A few more beginning of school year chores to check of the list and I will be ready to treat my self to a massage and a pedi  drop them off at school! Happy Friday!

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 ...
