"Not Today Zurg!"

The last 2 days have been kind of hard as a mom. Ghee I wonder why? Today I realized I did not do my daily dose of Book of Mormon. So today I read Alma 49 and 50. What/Why does the Lamanites wanting to battle Captain Moroni make me feel better? Because I am Captain Moroni my children are the fortified cities and Satan is wanting to battle up with my kids. OK, you have injured our legs for 2 days but not today!
ps "Not Today Zurg" is a line we use around here from Toy Story.

Wee 2 day 2

chore-trash from day before

Free movie with only "M"
Eye doc with only "G"
FIRE -punishment is the clean up. lets just say gas, deck and a PB jar
"G" got his learners permit!
Exciting day except for "R"

Why do I have to be the Mom?

Week 2 day 1

chore-trash, laundry
Library
lots and lots of mischief making and punishments to go around
not one of our better days

lets go out for dinner!

Week-End

chore-Saturday cleaning of house
Kent International Festival by myself though kids were invited. It was kind of small, and the fashion show started 15 minutes late. Kent Farmers Market was part of it and a bought white radishes. What is a parsnip?
I did the sharing time for primary today and was pleased with how it went. My "R" is never pleased with how it goes.
Females watched a movie "Return with Honor" thinking it would be Sabbath appropriate, it wasn't, the ending was good.
Went to an open house for good friends leaving our ward. Took 2 batches of brownies from scratch, ugly but delicious.

My 2 youngest are singing their hearts out together right now.

Boring Friday 5

Friday chore-FREE
Expensive day
Ran errands all morning including more family pictures and frames to mail to family $60. (if our new scanner was hooked up I'd post here, check out on FB). Cotton candy at the mall $1, Cash n Carry 90 hamburgers for $48, etc.

Skyway bowling for an hour, $16. "R" won twice and "M" won once. They felt bad for me and gave me bumpers for the last game. I broke 100! (I have tendinitis and my first ball killed me)

Another movie $1, "Extraordinary Measures", on my comfortable bed.

Boring 4

While waiting at a traffic light I was listening to the music coming from the car in front/beside me. Many foul words where coming out. So I looked at the light and saw that I had time. I got out of my car, left my door open, and went up to the guy and said something like, "Can you turn that down, it is offensive?" He said back to me, "Freedom of speech lady!", I said back to him, "it is offensive, turn it down!" I went back to my car. The music got turned down. My oldest son, who was with me, thinks the guy was just shocked.

We made 30 containers of strawberry and also raspberry freezer jam.

Watched a movie together on my very comfortable bed and ate strawberry shortcake for dinner.

Boring day 3

chore-vacuuming
I let the kids do something I NEVER thought I would let them do. "M"&"R" rode their bikes down to Soos Creek trail and ate the lunch they packed. They were gone for only 45 minutes and called me 4 times. (no accidents, no kidnappers, no problems)
"M" went to a friends house.
I worked on a quilt top
I finished up the day by going to the temple with my hubby and watching a cute family being sealed in the temple. There is something special about seeing a family together in white! I am grateful for the blessings of the temple!

Boring day 2

chore-mow & trim yard (I ironed shirts)
Free movie "Cloudy w/Chance Meatballs"
Renton Farmers Market
would have gone to the beach but someone has lost a swimsuit and won't clean up her room

Boring Day 1

We/I did laundry as I do every Monday.
Library
FHE miniature golf (just now I asked them what we did and they said, "nothing")

Boring Summer

I know when summer is over my kids are going to say,

"This summer was Boring! We didn't do Anything!"

I know this because they say it every summer. So this year I am posting what boring things we did.
I am also starting a new incentive program for fruit & veggies. If they eat 5 a day they get an ice cream novelty. I know that is counter productive but they already eat treats, now they learn to like fruit & veggies first.

FaceBook

How many times do you "ignore" a friend request? I am up to 3 for one person. I just got a fourth request. I know her from another ward. Am I awful? What is the harm? Am I the weird one?

Not boring Saturday

Jamie and I finally got to Seattle together on Saturday. She took me to a store she thought I would like, Anthropologie, Loved It! If I was skinny and didn't care how much money I threw at cute clothes I would totally buy a wardrobe there. But I'm not skinny and I would never spend that kind of money on clothes.
We watched the documentary "Babies". Very cute. I'm glad that I'm not at that stage anymore though. Cute to watch!
I love the city.

Boring

I sleep for 10-12 hours a night (medicine side effect). I eat and read scriptures. I do a few chores, I might sew. Kids come home from school and we eat a snack together for a half hour. I hang for an hour or so and then might come up with something for dinner. Hubby and I talk about our day and watch the DVR. Time for bed.

I have nothing else to blog about.
