Mid Week Almost There

Almost where...? Sure it is the middle of the week, what does that really mean... A long time ago that meant weekends.. fun... going out.. coming home... sleeping all day... Almost there now means, more of the same with a different twist. Yes we still go out but instead of going out at 10 - 11 pm, we are going at at 7 -8 am for some sport, school, (___) fill in the blank event. Most weekends this time of year we don't see the couch until late in the evening.

Today is April Fools Day, the big prank from last post was not pulled off this morning. A few small ones between the kiddos and me but nothing big. ( I hope to have the big one pulled off by the time I close out my day). I did get one of my whiz kids with the premise that Vets have discovered away to make dogs talk... Addressing the age old question of why are you barking... This specific off-spring was amazed and asked" how it was done"... My response was simple, that they have to insert something into the dogs brain... too which I got.. "gross... no but really how do they do it"... Wonders of those tuition dollars...

Morning was rather uneventful... Ran like a well oiled machine everyone was in place doing what the General instructed... Showers, clothes, dishes, teeth... all washed and accounted for... Several minor infractions around manners and attitude but nothing that erupted into any significant level of noise. I did notice Big Sis rolling her eyes a lot... each time she does it I realize what fun we are in for as she moves from a tween to a teen....

No sewing machine today... at least for most of the morning and mid-day... Toots has a Dr. Appointment to check on Dot. I did not attend because I had to work... Type and talk.... Looks like I have the kingdom to myself for a few hours, Toots will be off shopping and picking up must have items for this weekend ( no food). Taking a late lunch today to meet up with her and the little guy, to watch Big Sis play in her opening day on Varsity Softball. The quite in the house is almost deafening... only noise is the clicking of the keys.... I know... I know... .enjoy it cause in 46 days... Reality is I need to enjoy it now...because in 4 -6 hours the tranquil atmosphere will be shattered by... I want... Food, friends, you haven't done that yet and TV..


Update on the DR. Visit... all is good both mother and child are fine. Baby continues to grow putting a few pounds since last visit. Everything is still on track for the the countdown. Dot turns out to be the only happy female in the house today.

No softball canceled because of rain. Big Sis had a friend over and Little Guy and I went to Game Stop to replace yet another DS. The last victim was placed on the back of my car by someone and it went flying off into the highway... Great story for another day.... That was a few months back.. Toots and I decided that we would replace it yet again for his birthday. Trying to get an old DS before the new DS came out meant we had to buy it now.

Big Sis got her nose all out of joint because her brother got yet another DS and she still has an old ipod. Toots got her nose out of joint because Big Sis was upset. I told Big Sis both Mom and I understand how she feels, we have been on both the receiving and giving side of getting or not getting something. She sulking in her room, Toots is upset because she feels Big Sis doesn't appreciate what she has...Little guy is playing his DS. It will all blow over by morning... I remember feeling the way Big Sis is... So the calm that I knew was going to be distrubted after school was not only disturbed it exploded... eyes rolling continues...slamming doors... heavy feet...

So in 46 days, little guy and I are going to be living in a house with 3 females.. all three have the propensity to cry, scream and demand... only one needs a diaper. I get the feeling the Little Guy and I will be spending a lot of time in the bunker.. um basement to avoid the woman folk roaming loose upstairs.

Bedtime was a piece of cake... Little Guy fell off to sleep while we read... Big Sis, sulked her self to bed and now Toots is upstairs drifting off.

Good Night... Good Day... Keep the cards and letters coming....
