Hello there! No, I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth. More like been running circles, squares & triangles on it! I have a lot to catch you up on, so let's see if my summer-fried brain can remember it all! LOL I'll start you with my do-list today. It's taken up the front side of a sheet of paper, and has spilled over to the back of it. Blanche & freeze 6 ears corn Wash, cut & flash freeze 11 bell peppers Take the newspapers out Make drinks for the week- 2 quarts of each unless otherwise stated- sweet tea, orange gatorade, lemon lime gatorade, cooking milk, yoohoo, orange juice, grape juice 4X4 laundry (known to most as 4 loads by 4pm) Make bed Clean master loo Wash linoleum (kitchen, HS room, laundry room) Clean desk Make copies of first week & 2 days of HS workbooks Dinner out to thaw (we're having pork butt steaks, brown rice & peas, maybe salad as well) Straighten & gather all library books Go through old mags, toss ones from HS room...

Their smiles Sebastion's love for reading Tristen's love for hands-on projects Keenan's gripping hugs Little voices at bedtime Their adaptability to change Giggles Laughter Kisses Little messes Big messes Their love to help me out in the kitchen Joy in the things they believe in

The boys' friends over to play, eat, etc... Painting the loo ceiling Painting and somewhat redec'ing the master room Cleaning up the kitchen cabinets to repaint them! (YAY!) LAUNDRY!!!!! Between lots of showers, playing in the pool and just plain sweaty..... you get the idea! Crafting Cleaning (thanks to aforementioned sweat, swimming, visitors, etc) Entertaining Fending squirrels out of the garden (ARGH!) Junk mail (all.year.round.) Decluttering Spending GOOD quality time with my wonderful family Praising, praying and thanking!

My Hubba has managed hero status 2 days in a row! Yesterday we went to a pool at a friends apt. complex. I happened to see out of the corner of my eye a kid jump into the pool. But something told me to look. It was a little girl, smaller than Keenan that actually FELL in the pool, unattended (I paused for about 5-6 seconds, kinda stunned but also sorta quick-scanning for an adult. I was not swimming and Robert was about 8 feet from her and I yelled at him "Go get that girl, baby. Robert, that little girl is under water!!!" So he went and rescued her. Then today, he rehooked the modem up thru USB instead of ethernet and HERE I AM!!!! We have proper DSL again. It's a tad slower, but I'm ok with that!!! LOL

After pouring a lidless cup of milk: Me: "Both hands, don't spill it." He after taking a sip: "It spill in my mouf, Mommy. It can spill in my mouf." ******************************* Keenan on glow sticks: "When a stick is gween, it's gween!" Keenan on rainy days: "When it's waining, Mom, it's waining!" ******************************* Observed- Keenan picking his nose. So I say: "Keenan, quit picking your nose." He says: "I'm not picking my nose, Mom!!! I'm juss cweaning it."
