A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts. |

Lindsay- As I drove with the windows down feeling the heat I was thinking of you... thinking this must be like half of what she deals with! Liz- Hugs momma! Go you and hubby for volunteering!! Tracy- That's cool and ugh about the class letting out. I always had mixed feelings when a class got out super early... like don'tcha have anything to teach me? I'm here to learn! I'm a big ole' school geek though.  We hung with a fabulous friend and her lil' 3 month old... Micah was enthralled! Maybe the transition won't be so bad..... crossin' crossables!

Liz - I'm glad that you guys had a nice walk:) Sorry about the heat and glad that you had those movie star sunglasses good and ready. Hugs! Yes, I fully understand this and I'm so guilty of it too. I catered, I aim to please, and it's now kicking me in the rear. I'm a bit more conscious about how we have been doing things at home as we obtain services for one of our kiddos. SOMETIMES I feel like my brain is slowly turning into mush if I do one more kiddie activity. You rock for going to the gym:)
Tracy - I heard ya'll got some weather coming from FL. I wish we'd get some. We had some monsoon-like weather earlier in May, but none since. July and August are usually the weird rain/monsoon months.
Lauren - So sweet of you:) Oh how sometimes I wish I could escape the heat. The pool and A/C Lauren. That's what's saving us. I too worried how the one kiddo would react to younger baby sibling. You'll find your groove and Micah will learn even more patience.
OT person came yesterday for eval. Haircuts for both boys today. Do you ever feel like you're running to the grocery store everyday (even though you did write a list)?

Lauren~ I'm sure Micah will do great with his little little bro or sis!! My friend's son was barely 2 when the new baby came and he has done wonderful!! Lindsay~ Yes, yes----for 3 straight days it rained!! Not just a little bit either....a LOT!! We definately needed it though. I chose a "wellness policy" for my insurance this year. It gives additional benefits if you choose to live a healthy lifestyle. (They can't see how much my butt is on the couch!!  ) Anyway, one of the criteria is to get BMI, BP, cholesterol, and glucose checked. No problem....off to the dr. I went today and guess what----all numbers were great except for my triglycerides--which were extremely high! Needless to say, the finger prick wasn't enough at that point so they sent me across to the lab for a full blood draw. I'm still waiting on the results from that one. I think it's a flub, b/c all other numbers were in the "desirable" range, but who knows..... Do I have a sign on my back that says---"I'll go through it!"

Tracy - I heard it was a lot of rain for you guys:) I look forward to watching news (when it's quiet is even better) so that I can get a glimpse of the rest of the country and beyond. Got to love news:) You rock for signing up for those wellness options. Hoping there are some cool incentives/points too coming your way.
Lauren - Donovyn was 20 months when we had Tristyn. He did great!!!
Round #2 of pool time! Haircuts at 4 p.m. Got to gear up (and maybe have a cocktail/spritzer or something first).

Ugh, T had his 2 year checkup today... off to the allergist we go. It seems he may have a shellfish allergy. Poor kid has to be tested for everything since his momma also has food allergies. Tracy, I'm hoping the abnormal bloodwork was wrong and your triglyderides are really in a normal level. Make sure you call the Dr office, sometimes they don't call you if the lab work is normal. OK, I'm off to update my blog

Laura~ My favorite comment from the nurse today was, "Dr. M. MAY come in this afternoon."  Really?? I wish I could just NOT come into work when I didn't feel like it. No wonder it's hard to get an appt. for my annual physical! Lindsay~ Did you cut your hair too??? New style or just trimmed?? I so wanna cut my back to the shorter style, but I'm trying to grow it out for a change. ....dumb idea!! Day 3 of VBS brought even MORE kids and seriously wears me out!! Remember, summers are my time off from kids.  How long is Katie hanging out in Vegas???? Katie~ The saying is, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." NOT "Go to Vegas, stay in Vegas!!!!"

Laura - Sorry that T is allergic to shellfish. Urgh, another doctor's appt.
Tracy - I'm sorry that the results are coming back the way they did. Geez, you try to do the right thing and whamy! Hoping it's nothing when the other results come back.
It was just haircuts for the boys. I never know how Mr. T will do, but he did very well yesterday. He's getting used to going. Trying to get him in there every 2-3 months. Air conditioning tune-up today.

Quick question~ for those of us who are teachers Where has this summer gone. It seems like it's flying. Lauren~ the home depot project sounds like fun. I keep wondering who would learn more Maddie or my hubby? Also I gave my hubby a new drill. Hope I haven't given license for destruction and holes  But in reality it's to get some projects done that I want. The gift that keeps on giving. All jokes aside he's a very good daddy to his little princess. She has learned if I say no go ask daddy. *sigh* isn't 2 too young for that yet?

Oh Laura~ I feel your pain on the allergies. We might be heading to the allergist for Maddie. She is like your little man T with shellfish. We think she may be allergic to nickel as we have had sun screen trouble this year along with eczema trouble.

Allergies for these young kiddos is so unfair!! Ansley seems to have some respiratory allergies to Bradford Pear trees, but that's all.....for now. (I'm saying that quietly because.....well, my blog has mentioned the sign on my back!! ) Lindsay~ I definately think an A/C tune up would be a good thing in your area!!  Heck, it's a good thing in my area today!! Sheesh.....it's sweltering hot today! Yes, the summer is flying by!! My professor mentioned today that we're halfway done with our class today!! That's good and bad for those who have been in grad school.... Hey---JUST GOT NEWS FROM DR'S OFFICE!! I'll update in my bloggedy blog!  What??? I see Katie logged in!! Welcome Back Katie!!!

Seriously ladies, tie me to the whipping post, maybe I'll be able to keep up now that I'm almost settled back in at home. Lorena: I kept him away from the business end of the animals, no bites for my boy except the ones he gives to himself! Lauren: Yep, five minutes after I posted that he was up! Laura: No way is Trevor two!! How in the world did that happen so soon? Liz: Hugs!! Ok, like I said almost settled back in. Did all my necessary shopping but still couldn't find new shoes for Elim! His feet are too chunky! Not even stride rite had ones that would work for him, and I'm nervous about getting him just plain old wides since he's in extra wides right now.

Tracy; ouch for the blood sample, I hate them.... Don't worry too much about that triglycerious (sp?) so much, once my Dr. told me that most people have it high, it is almost impossible to have them in a "good" numbers, only if you eat all boiled.....
Stacy: glad you are all settle back home...... ugh shoe shopping for kids is impossible, I had the same problem with S he had chunky feet, I think shoe makers just make smaller design of adults shoes, and they do not consider that baby feet are chunky.....
Liz: so glad you had a nice walk....
Katie: welcome back, glad you had a nice trip.... hey I received a strange e mail from you, I did not open it, since it didn't had a topic, just a link as a topic.....Did you sent it??
Lauren: I love when kids interact with babies, is so lovely..... I am sure Micah is going to be a great big brother.....
Laura: Happy belated Bday to Trevor.... oh hope he is not allergic .... didn't know you were seashell allergic..... hope Trevor did great in his 2 year check up.....
Lindsay: glad your plants survived..... glad you had a nice haircut appointment..... pool sounds so wonderful..... how is T doing with his ear infection??? is he better?? I hope so......
work is fine.. kids are great, 2 more days and they will be on vacations for 2 weeks.....
2 days for S Birthday party and I have nothing done..... I think we will need to rent a van... 10 kids already say yes to the invitation, I am still planning the treasure hunt, I just pray that it doesn't rain that day.... 12 kids inside my house is not a funny thing.....
Happy Wednesday.....

Katie - Welcome back:) Did you catch any shows while in Vegas?
Tracy - Glad that some levels are down and that you got some other bloodwork done. Yay, for the class being half over:)
Lorena - A treasure hunt is such a good idea for a birthday party! S and his mates are going to have such a great time:) So sweet, yes Mr. T's ear is all better, and he took all his medicine. Most of my plants survived, but we lost two. I'll hope that it doesn't rain for you:( That is a lot of kids on one's house.

Katie~ I got the same email, but glad you have it all fixed now. Such a pain when folks have nothing better to do than bother innocent people. Lorena~ I hope it's beautiful weather for the treasure hunt!! If not, give them umbrellas and keep the plans!! Jessica~ I do the same thing when watching the news. It's like we have family in the different areas that we have to watch out for. Hope you're feeling well!! Stacy~ Glad you're getting settled in. Never had to worry about fat feet with Ansley, but I do have to worry about long feet! I swear, she almost wears the same size that I do!!! Lindsay~ Any news on a job for next year? Ansley is watching Blue's Clues and Backyardigans.......  Really??? She's almost 9! Oh well, I guess we all like to watch "old school" shows from our childhood. LOL!!

Yo, Yo, Yo!!!
All sorts of stuff going on at my end.....I wanted to blog about it, then looked over my vacation bible school stuff....What the What? I've been busily setting up scenes and buying decor and conducting short stories of the bible, like a stage director, all week. This is where I've been all week....I can't wait till tomorrow and it is over, I'm literally sleeping by 10pm. I've done VBS for a few years and don't remember it being this hard. I think I signed up for more than I can handle, only two nights left...I can do it!!
Things are good...I want to get pictures up of the Pittsburgh walk but haven't even put them on my computer yet....I promise it's coming!!!
Ps-my fattymcfatty butt has been on a diet for 8 days and have lost 4 pounds. Slightly exciting, yet, not satisfyingly exciting.

Liz - Yo GO on your pounds lost!!! I know the diet thing must be a drag, but got to be excited when you step onto that scale and see results:) I might be back to cucumbers and tea here real soon myself.
Katie - That's so cool that you got to meet Penn and Teller! Garth Brooks, does he do Achy Breaky Heart?
Jessica - I do the same too. Think about all the peeps I know across the country when I watch the news:)
Tracy - Blue's Clues, Mr. T's favorite!!! You don't want to know how many NOTEBOOKS we have in our house! It's his thing:) And when we can't find a particular color, oh man. Funny you should mention the job search. I got a call yesterday from the highest paying district . . .
We have a part or something to replace on our air conditioning unit. We got an estimate anyway, but I want to hold off. It's not broken or anything, but wear and tear. The thing is under warranty for 10 years and we are in year 9. It's always something, huh?

We had many notebooks back in the day too, but now we just have larger notebooks that she calls, journals! Liz~ Yay for 4 lbs.! I feel ya pain on the VBS exhaustion!!! That's what I've been doing this week too. Thankfully, tonight was our last night! Phew....if only I had as much energy as those kids do at 9 p.m. Ansley and I went to the lake today to hang out with my bestie and her kids. The weather was great and no sunburn for the two of us. (Can't say as much for my bestie You know---put it on your kids, but forget yourself?? Yep!!  ) Tomorrow I'm heading to Hobby Lobby. I love that store---hardly ever buy a thing, but could spend TONS of money every time if I just had it!  Gonna see if I can find some great things to help organize our messy, messy house!

Checked it out! Hooray!!!
T-VBS, is over tonight...my poor husband has played the role of Jesus so many times this week, he can't wait! The lake sounds so relaxing....I love sun, hate heat! And we have a HobbyLobby about 15 minutes from here...love it! I can't wait till Tori is old enough to start doing some of the stuff in there(science creations, building doll houses, kaliedascope's(sp))
Off to jiggle as I wiggle my way through the park. I will attempt a 3 mile jog while the temperatures are still at a decent rate this morning.
Lindsay-totally jealous of your pool and your margarita like drinks by the pool. And, Imagine that, the warranty runs out at the 10th year and you are on year 9. Isn't that how it always works?

Tracy - Ooooh, the lake sounds nice too! Hoping you find some good stuff at Hobby Lobby. What a fun store! I know, I see so much too and sometimes leave the credit card at home on purpose.
Checked out a little camp this morning for Mr. T. He liked it and wants to go back. He misses school. Going to see what we can work out for him. IF he goes there, then it will give us some one on one time with just D. He's been waiting (for years).

Okay---Hobby Lobby is officially not for the ADD.... I've learned that I need to have a list of items needed and THEN (and only then) if time allows, I can look at all the other goodies!! I picked up a few items for Ansley's party and that's about it. I'm going to make an attempt to be crafty again for Taylor's flower arrangement. All crossables crossed please!!!! Invitations are printed and must be mailed.....
Father's Day is checked off for her dad, but not my own yet...
House is still a wreck....
Homework for next week is to be done..... Anyone else wanna come and get this done for me??

I feel the same about going into teaching stores like Lakeshore Learning or Teaching Tools. Lots of ideas and fun stuff in there:)
Just trying to do a few loads of laundry and then we're off to see Madagascar 3. It's with some other kiddos on the spectrum and we might see some friends from SARRC too.

Found some shoes for Elim, I bumped up a half size after looking how his current ones fit him and found some stuff on sale at stride rite! Still more than I'd like to pay, but what can ya do when they're literally the only brand of shoes that will fit your kid's chunky feet!
