Snowpants and Sunburn

So I have been reminded lately, by more than 1 person, that I am behind on the whole "blog"thing.
I say Pphhhhtt, Impossible.  How can I be behind in my blog?  Its an outlet. It doesn't have a due date!  OK maybe I need to purge some things.  Perhaps this would be good.  But the stress of writing and being grammatically correct is something I won't deal with at this point so I will give all my thoughts in the way they come to me.
R~A~N~D~O~M~L~Y
Ellie won't stop asking me questions.  Questions like: Why do we sleep in beds? Why does our yard have grass.  Why do we have to grow up? And so on. 
So the other day I finally asked her "Ellie, WHY DO YOU KEEP ASKING ME ALL THESE QUESTIONS?????"
And she replied (in a DUH MOM tone) Because I am a kid! We need to know things.
It was a good reminder

People complain about the weather a lot.  THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME.  Deal with it and get on with life. QUIT WHINING.

Grace is growing fast.  Also she is running fast. She has inherited Ellie's habit of running as fast and as far as she can from you.

Grace pouts more effectively than any of my other kids.

My kids will not stay in bed.

Mya is too excited for her all day field trip tomorrow and too sad for the end of the school year to sleep.

Jacob has been taking piano lessons for a few years so that he could take drums. Sign up for this was last week.  He signed up for trumpet.

I can't keep track of my own schedule and I am expected to keep track of everyone else's.

Mya is sobbing in her bed because I was not sympathetic enough.

My dishwasher has been broken for months and I refuse to let Greg buy another one until we got a great deal.

When Grace is naughty it makes me laugh. This is dangerous.

Jacob's meds are working great.

There is a ADHD medication shortage and every time we go for a refill I stress out.  Glad he made it through the end of school. Dear drug company's, WOW, SERIOUSLY?  Sincerely ME

I am enjoying digging around in my yard.  Thinking of adding some pretty big flower beds.  It makes me happy to see my kids all lined up planning and planting.  Something we all enjoy.

Its bathing suit season.

Grace is finally starting to expand her vocabulary.  New word this week WHHHYYY?  I think Ellie is teaching her after they go to bed before they come out 3 billion times. 

The other day the kids had Family Games day at school.  They were outside all day.  I told Jacob to put on sunscreen and he did not.  He said he didn't need it.
He was wrong.  It was in the 80s that day.  As I was checking out his burn, he was taking his backpack out of his locker and handed me his snow pants.
That is because we live in Michigan AND because its Jacob.

My job description is changing.  I like it. 

I love my husband.  ALL THE TIME.  He is Fantastic

My vacuum broke. That sucks.

The air in my van broke. That blows.

The vegetables are planted.

I really want a composter.  Not jewelry.  A composter.

My spirit? Not broke.
So there I blogged.  I feel better.  Thanks for checking in.
