I had so much fun yesterday. Yesterday was hubby’s and my 5 year class reunion from the school in which we graduated from together. College that is. We had a lot of fun…though there was only three of us. Hubby and I made two and a close friend who just happened to decide to also come that morning showed up. Another guy from our class who had decided to come was unable to attend the festivities . Just as hubby and I were getting ready to leave he showed up. Apparently one of his younger brothers had had a stroke that morning. He was Ok but that being said he belonged with him. The downer for the say was that the school has had a hard time attracting the likes of the younger alumni…well there is a huge reason for that…No day care…It tough when you travel lots of miles…there are no baby-sitters to be found (they pick an awful time for reunions…Friday afternoons….anyway so we ended up having a friend who is very pregnant watch our two youngest while we took Tornado with us. He did Ok but it is tough for a three year old who was in the car for 3 hours then to sit for a chapel service then through lunch and a reunion time…. But still we had fun!

My Husband Rocks Friday
This I why my husband rocks…..He absolutely loves doing crazy sweet things with our kids…Like building houses out of mattresses..ALL of them that are in our house..That is including ours in there somewhere. Yes that is a wardrobe and yes that is the ceiling and yes they are really that high…And they love every minute of it!!!
Daddy is superman in their eyes..And in mine too…Sometimes to a fault. I have to remind myself that he is only human…Who needs forts when you build such great houses!
The NEXT Survivor
THANKS RUTH FOR SHARING!!! However i must note that i am not one of those types of women. I can’t do it all..Hubby and I work regularly together as a team..Which has made us so close. I also think that Hubby could beat the pants off of most men. After all he has been known for his time management abilities, I guess that is why he could work 12 to 4 am…go to college full time at one school with24 credit hours and take 6 credits in correspondence courses and still get a 4.0. All the while being an RA in the guys dorm, being engaged and oh so much more!!! I am so proud of him and I know he would succeed! THIS IS A RIOT! THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks. Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes. They will also attend cubs, brownies, sea cadets or similar. There is no fast food. Each man must: take care of his 3 children, keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, also, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of ‘pretend’ bills with not enough money. In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week. Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time–no emailing. Each man must also take each child to a doctor’s appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment. He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to A & E He must also make gingerbread men or choc chip cakes for a social function. Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times. The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done. The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn themselves with jewelery, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed. During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal pain, persistent lower back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings, but never once complain or slow down from other duties. They must attend weekly school meetings, concerts & plays, church, and find time at least once a week, to spend the afternoon in the park or a similar setting. They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am. A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child’s birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size, teachers name, best friends name and doctor’s name. Also the child’s weight at birth, time of birth, and length of labor, each child’s favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up. The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if… he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment’s notice. If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be called Mother!
HMMMM…
This really caught my attention this morning!
“The definition of maturity is the ability to delay pleasure.”
This becomes more apparent when you have a toddler and that toddler does something he is not supposed to do. Then when asked why he did it he says “because i wanted to”!!!
What a perfect picture of the quote above!
Hey Did i mention!
Mostly out of sheer forgetfulness I have failed to mention we have hit a major milestone with our oldest tornado…He is Potty-trained! And he’s been so for a while now!
We are so proud of you little one!
