Day in the Life with Grandsons

I sit here with my coffee, its almost 8:30 am. I've been up since 5:30. I think my coffee is cold.
 The tarp we put the kiddie pool on is hosed off, little feet collect grass and other objectionable  materials.
I came online to see if I could level up in the one game I'm determined to get out of. (bubble safari after reading it will cost money later to level past 80 ugh.)
  My net wouldn't connect ohh nooo. So did the trouble shoot, the router had gotten disconnected, unplug and replug in, where IS my router? UNDER the sofa how it got there with two little boys running loose lol.
 Oh found the lost binky stuck to the back of the couch (it's leather, the binky is sticky).
 Van couldn't find his deodorant, he leaves it by his chair NOT in the bathroom safely in a cabinet right? So it grew two feet and ended up in his boot.
 I woke up to an odd dream, Jodee was trying to tell me in code to pray for mom.
 (We tell each other all the time, don't hear to my words... listen to what I"m telling you when we have to discuss mom in front of her. It saves a major melt down.)
  Let me give you an example.. Margaret doesn't like the water, we've been trying to get her to go swimming, I think she would enjoy it once she got in the water.  That is saying mom needs a bath.

   Rowdy (michael) and I had the afternoon just the two of us, we rode the 4 wheeler.
 When we got off, he said" that's really hot mimom.." and pointed to where his leg was near.
 I said oh goodness that is hot DO NOT TOUCH IT!
 He reached down and said "this is hot" and touched it!!!
 15 popsicles later (i think it was way more) he felt some better. it kept the finger cool and his mind off it. Yes it blistered right up.

 

Embarrassing my Kids (or myself)

12-22-04

  My kids are here for the holidays! yay!

 Oklahoma City here we come... last minute shopping we live for it.

"Hey BASS PRO SHOP! Can we stop?" Rob called from the back seat.

why not I thought.

 Blinker on.. we zipped through four lanes of traffic... only to realize the exit is to the left.. we zipped back across traffic.

" MOOOOOOOM  WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

"No we're not.. I used my blinker!"

 "Are those ducks?" Rob was like a kid in a bass pro shop without a gun. oh yeah that's where we were.

 "They are decoys" I said as I make sure he isn't actually going after the ducks.

  We pull open the big heavy doors, walk across the lobby, go through the turnstiles.

 "Hey I know you!" The greeter says to me.

  My kids are staring at me like what did you do Mom? Ya said you were only there once over a year ago.. what did you do to this poor man that he would remember you?!

 I smiled and shook my head like mistaken identity.

'No it's really YOU!" He says as he comes over like my long lost cousin.

 Brandy poked me, "Come on Mom tell!"

 I mumbled something about I'm sure he's mistaken.

 "I will never forget you two." He just wont let it go.

 "Okay you're right. It's me, Last time we were here, we saw the turnstiles, all the beautiful displays, we wondered how much  we had to pay to get in. He motioned for us to get our butts in. He asked what was going on, I asked how much to get in. he laughed and said he'd heard everything, Pay to get in Bass Pro Shop. he Wanted to know where we were from.
