Strange and Wonderful All In One!

It's Monday and boy, let me tell you, my kids are SO ready for summer!!!  It was ridiculous how long it took for everyone to go off to the land of dreams.  My kids are usually  in bed early, compared to most folks.  Josh, 7 p.m., Zach, usually 7:30 is, Max and Jordan 8:30 p.m. latest  and then Sammy and Tyler are in by 9 p.m.  Of course there are exceptions but really this is something I am pretty anal about!  I know my boys need their sleep.  They play hard and so they need to be able to gather their fuel for the next day.

This morning was brutal getting them up.  How many weeks left?  Here's the thing, the remainder of the weeks are busy one!  Actually, they are VERY busy ones!!!  I think we have something every weekend.  Most of the things scheduled are for the school and a fundraiser of sorts.  Then there is graduation for my sweet Tyler!  Wow... that I am not ready for!  I won't go there today.  I need to focus.

I am home doing laundry, trying to get most of it done so that packing will be less of an ordeal. I am making a meal for a family that needs a break, of course my turns lands this week.  Hey, if you are going to be busy, why not be extra busy.  Actually, I didn't realize that this weekend was here so soon.  I thought that I had one week in between.  It's all good, though.

Thanks for all your comments and helpful suggestions regarding my cramps.  I found them very helpful and plan on looking into something effective before the next attack.

I had an interesting conversation with my mother-in-law last night.  It was just the two of us talking while I was getting supper together.  We ended up talking about funerals.  She was quite free with letting me know some of her wishes.  It was a weird conversation.  I am pretty sure this woman will bury us! lol


I really need to be off and get my mess in order... but before I go, here are some things the boys said to me these last few days.  I blog them to share because to me, they are funny.  I also blog them to remember down the road!


Josh:  "Mommy, you know when Jesus died, they put perfume on him.  How come?"
I respond with a mommy answer.
Josh: "Oh!  Did they put perfume on Michael Jackson too?"
This makes me wonder how his mind works!


Today because I was putter around, I put on jean cut offs and one of Sanj's tee-shirts.  I picked up the boys, gave them a snack and ran into the grocery store.  As I was walking to the van, apparently this was the conversation that was occurring in the van:


Max:  "Is that Daddy's tee-shirt Mommy is wearing?  (His brother agreed).  Max: "Well it will be kinda stretchy after Mommy wears it."  (Making reference to my boob-aciousness)!


Another one of my boys:  Mommy, do you want to know something weird?  My friends think you are cool!  That is so strange!"  

Have I mentioned how much I love my boys?  They are so funny and crazy and smelly and loud and strange and fascinating and rock my world!  How did I ever get to lucky?

Good... It's Good!

A perfect day... waking up without the rush of getting out the door (though I wonder again WHY can my kids not sleep in on the weekend)???  Reading my books and actually relaxing a bit.... then cooking up a storm for company coming...  (I was stressed as I was exposing them to Indian food for the first time... and felt the pressure!!!)... enjoyed the company...  now listening to my men all jamming it out with their dad.  Hey, it actually sounds like heaven here!

Sanj said to me, "Dear, our boys can play... I have more fun playing with them then I do on most praise teams!"

Note to my boys:  That is the ultimate compliment!

I love that this is the new evening relaxation mode.  So Backstreet Boys...  you have nothing over my boys!

In a bit, I am going to watch my movie, "It's Complicated" and then read some of my book.  It is that perfect reading weather, bit cloudy, breezy and cooler now.

Life is good.  I am so glad that I can feel the love.  There are many times when one of the boys are driving me nuts.  A few hours again, Josh was in his obnoxious form... I could have strangled him!  

Ah... I feel like it is as good as it gets... and there is still one more day to the weekend!  Wahoo!

Hope yours is a good one too!

Hockey, Skiing, Olympics!

Today I spent part of the day at the ski hill with some of the boys.  They had a great time!  Sammy was suppose to spend the day there with some friends, who didn't show up.  (That did not impress me very much either)!  So Sammy called to see if any of his brothers want to go with him.  Zach, who loves any time with Sammy, of course jumped at the chance.

I figured I may as well stick Josh in a lesson and stop Sanj from nagging me to do so.  Josh loved it!  The hour lesson was nothing for him.  I was sure he would be tired and stressed.  Nope!  Sammy took him up once and swore never again...  Josh just wanted to go again.  I stuck him in another hour lesson.  There went my wad of cash.  Not a cheap sport!

As I picked him up at the end of his lesson, he wanted to know if he could go every day?  I thought, "Hum, this is maybe how Shaun White started!"  (Did I mention that the boy does not stop talking)?

All in a day.  They are tired and tuckered.  They are eagerly awaiting the Team Canada vs Team Us hockey game.  Oh, the stress of it!

A new week!  Snow is in there forecast... hopefully it will make the place nice and white and take away the dirty look.  Nothing like the East Coast has though!

Sanj was cooped up in his office all afternoon after hockey.  Ugh.  Tests and class stuff.  I did not see him all day.  Mid April is the light at the end of the tunnel.  It is the end of his degree and the end of the hockey season!  Yah!

Yes, I know, then there is summer hockey and golf, and soccer.  I am good with that though.  It will be warm, sunny and nice!

I took Max to his game on Friday night.  I took a book and had hopes of reading, watching and resting.  I was still feeling under the weather.  Nope, his team is full of very friendly talkative folks.  They love their hockey.  They are forever in tournaments in little towns with a rink and nothing else.  They seemed appalled that I just realized we were in the play offs.  Oop, sorry folks.

Ah... it is all good.  Now to make it a perfect weekend...

 Let's GO TEAM CANADA!!!
