Observant blog readers have noticed that I've not really said anything since Thursday.....::snort:: But I can fill up space saying nothing with the best of them, can't I?
Friday - HECTIC is the only word to describe Friday a.m.'s. I'm enjoying my class at the Health and Wellness Center, but it does take away from the fun of having lots of folks in the house in the a.m. I miss putting the kettle on with the stragglers.....ah well....
After class Jared and all the rest down to Stacia and I went and picked up a balloon bouquet and took it to the mall. We delivered it to Chick Fil A. Yes, we agreed not to celebrate birthdays until Mike got home, but 18 is a big one and we simply couldn't let the day go without some sort of recognition.
Saturday - The older boys had a birthday party to attend. It involved paint ball, pizza, Risk and such....I had the little ones at home. We relaxed.
I spent the a.m. creating a new food/exercise log that reflects what I'm currently doing. I think I'm happy with it. Right across the top I wrote my new motto "1200 calories is NOT gluttony". I also filled out two more FAFSA forms.
Sunday - Church. Zander's birthday. We hadn't planned to do gifts...but he kept mentioning today was "his Christmas" and I thought it would be good to get him some sort of gift. I don't think he fully understood what he was agreeing to when he said he'd wait for Mike to be home for his birthday. I think he meant Dad would be HOME. He actually talked to both Mike and Krista today - that's a good day on the phone for him. I gave in to his sensory issues since it IS his birthday and let him wear sweat pants to church. I did ask him to turn his shirt the right way and promised he could turn it inside out again when we got home. ::snort::

Goodness it sounds like you have been a bit busy.
Uncle Ole., Jim Brown, Willie, put in a fisher stove for us yesterday. It is one Walt and Nancy's brother had taken out of a remodel they did. So now we have a nice wood burning stove. Almost ran us out of the house lastnight... but sure felt good this morning when I got up and the house is not cold.
These 3 front yard trees are still losing leaves so (out of season) I raked the entire front yard (big) yesterday. People just can't believe these three trees still have leaves. They will start their new leaf growth in March/April. Last year one of the stupid trees was still losing leaves and also putting on new leaves.

I love Zanders comment . . about this being his Christmas :-)
