Funny sayings

My husband works for a meat company and brings home items from cuttings. He brought home several items yesterday in a few boxes. JT loves to build items with cardboard boxes and so he took those after everything was put in the fridge. At a concert later that night Paige gave JT a hug and said. "You smell like bacon?" JT laughed. "I put a meat box on my head." He did smell very good actually.

On the way home from visiting the Peters, the radio was on and the song, The Climb came on. The back was quiet until the chorus and then all four of them broke out in harmony. It made me break out in laughter.

Amazing, but JT was the quietest child in the car for the above trip. I know, it's hard to imagine.

Cenneidigh slept with me at the Peters and I fell out of bed from trying to escape her.

She kept rolling in to me and she was hot. I got up and went to the other side of the bed

and went back to sleep.

She woke up last night in tears. I think she was tired, but she said she missed Geekie

and wanted to know when she would see her again.

Books 61, 62 and 63

I thought I read this before, but I think I cheated and saw the movie instead. I loved this book and I cried and I love the fact that everyones life is important. Everyone is connected to every other story out there in some way. We are all parts of each others lives, our stories began long before we were ever born or even a thought in our parents minds. Lives that we don't even know touch ours in some ways and someday we may all find out just how much. Read this book its only about 200 pages. Well worth your time.
Listened to this in the car this last weekend on the trip to the Peters. Loved it, I love this author.
Sad, sad, sad. This was read by the author and it was good, but sad. Strange ending so I'm looking forward to the next one. Life for an Irish boy in poverty and rags.

Happy Birthday Sue

Happy Birthday Sue Peters, we love you!

Do what ought to be done.

A big huge YES!!!!!!
Another anti-procrastination issue. I have appts I need to make and go too. Cenny needs two teeth pulled at the dentist. I haven't been for a check-up in awhile and someone must need shots. JT will need to see the eye doctor in November and I haven't been in over three years. I'm fighting the need to see clearly(I think I'm winning.) I have a small sty on my eye that needs checking and my arm has hurt since August(I think the exercising is really helping here.) So maybe I really don't need any of those appts.(that is the way I roll, avoid the dr. office at all costs.)

I still have plenty of other things that ought to be done and I really need to stop blogging about it and get it done.

Destruction and tear down(what a mess)

Working on the entry hall and the stairs. Getting the plaster down and then the lathe. It is a huge mess and we took one truck full of plaster to the dump and two filled with lathe to the burn pile. This is going to take awhile, we are now deciding if we will rip out the staircase and put in another(spiral or elliptical.) Big decisions when we get the rest ripped out. The staircase isn't the original, changing it would give us more room in the entry which is pretty tight right now.

Getting things up and down will be more difficult, but we have another staircase at the other end of the house. Thought?

Crossing guard Twins game

Ezekiel and Cenneidigh attended a Twins game at the new stadium. They played the Tigers and WON. I've never been to a winning game, I'm jealous and so is Gunnar(he hasn't been to the new stadium yet.) They had a great time and Cenneidigh had made enough points for $20. She bought a pink Louisville slugger and then lots of food. Zeke had $10 and he bought treats.

Mothers Day 2010

Cenneidigh did this Saturday night for me.

Lots of beautiful flowers and a delicious dinner. My parents made us all dinner and came over with Amanda and Paige to celebrate the day. I'm very thankful for my five perfect(only when I think about how blessed I am) children.
