Fun with boys...

At the mall with my boys before school started.

Darndest things...

Two things.
David came home from school today talking about how he wants to be cool...
He said he wants to get an earring? :)
So here is a quick note,

Dear Parents at Spring Creek Elementary,
Earrings in little boys who attend Elementary school are not cool.
In fact I'd have to say I do not think they are cool in boys at all, but after 18 it is not my choice.
I just wanted to say that for the sake of my children.
Sincerely,

Concerned mother.

Second, David was just in the bathroom and I walked in. He proceeded to say,
"don't you hate it when the poo splashes water all over your bum?"

Being a parent is so fun.
Something new everyday.

In response...

to Mondays post, things are ok.
The results came back and there is nothing to worry about.
I was told to come back in 6 months so they could do another ultrasound and make sure everything still looks fine.

On a lighter note... I made home made pizza today for dinner and I think it was delicious! :)

First day of school

I took pics, but can't figure out how to get them on here right now.
I took David to his first day of second grade, Tuesday.
Before we left the house he said do you have to come in?
Can you just drop me off?
I was like heck no! Why?
He just looked at me.
Are you embarrassed?
He said yes
I said is it because I kiss and hug you?
He said yes
I said what if we kiss and hug at home? Then can I take you inside?
Luckily, he said yes
And luckily because apparently it was just for me to take him inside. Sometimes as mom's we do things "for our kids", but they are really for us. ;)
I wondered, does this ever get any easier?
I started crying again, like last year, after I left his class of course.
My kids are growing up, and it is sad. Happy, but sad too.
Being a mom is a crazy thing.
I love my David.
Joey starts Kindergarten September 7.

Mind Games

I had a biopsy today.
I was not nervous when I got there because it was just for an ultrasound on my left breast.
(I have had two others in the past)
After the ultrasound the Dr. recommended a biopsy, so I said ok.
They (Dr. and nurse) said there would be a prick and some burning and then I would not feel anything.
They were right, except for the fact that I did not even feel burning.
I think it is all a mind game.
I turned my head and closed my eyes, heard a few clicks when the Doc told me I would and then I was done.
They put a marker in there? Kinda weird, but ok.
So I am done now, with an ice pack in my bra :)
I'll keep y'all posted, should know results by Thursday afternoon.

Whose problem is it?

Good question.
I really like those little ah-ha moments I get that are learning moments in life.
Today the one I had went something like this...
I guess I am a pretty judgmental person because...
When I see someone with messy hair or acting in a way that I think is inappropriate in public, I wonder "do they realize how stupid that is, or do they realize how dumb they look?"
Well today I was walking around with a towel that had some bleach spots on it and I thought " I wonder what people would think if they noticed my towel?"
(Even though I realize we are all so focused on our own appearance we do not notice others, normally)
Then the ah-ha moment...
I realized I do not care about my towel.
So if someone notices it, and judges it, then that is their problem.
And more ah-ha.
If someone notices my outfit and judges it and has a problem with it, that is their problem.
If someone notices my kids messy faces and judges them, that is their problem.
If someone notices my house is not as clean as it could be and judges me because of it, that is their problem.
So you see what other people think is their problem and we/I do not need to make it ours/mine.
Just thought you'd all like to hear.
Now all I have to do is apply this learning moment and not let what others think bother me ever again. :)

Life is Good!

I woke up this morning naturally early.

I love mornings!

I thought to myself I should go running.

I had enough energy to jump out of bed, pull back my hair, get dressed, put contacts in, and get a drink of water. Then I was out the door.

(Besides the fact that I went running a few days ago with my nephew Hela, I have not been running outside for quite some time. Tred mills, spin classes and the stepper have been my routine the last few months and it is summer. How dare I not enjoy the beautiful summer mornings :( )

With the rain and everything from last night the air and ground were particularly clean this morning.

The run was refreshing.

I feel rather healthy and rejuvenated today.

I slept 8 hours and got a nice beautiful run in, followed by a shower, which also feels oh so good!

So just thought I would say

Life is Good!
