LivisMom, I'm right there with you. Only I didn't have a nap today, but I was almost asleep and my husband started typing on his computer and totally woke me up. Grr...
Now I'm wide awake.

I can never sleep at a decent hour
Lily went down for a late nap earlier today after hours of trying to her to take one and I was exhausted so I decided to take a nap with her and no sooner than I shut my eyes, the phne rang for me apparnetly and hubby came in there and woke us both up. ugh. All my hard work trying to get her to take a nap. Oh well. She seems to be sleeping pretty well right now. Maybe I will try to join her finally. Goodnight!

Oh no, Will has figured out how to unlock the dishwasher! And he keeps trying to turn the dial that turns it on and selects the cycle, too... but he hasn't figuered that out quite yet...

We did it, we got my oldest on the bus for the first day of school. I am excited, but nervous. I can't wait until this afternoon to hear all about the first day.

I took my oldest to school today as well and I am devistated!!!! He is so shy but luckily he didnt cry or throw a fit. We was really excited but nervous also. I still got butterflies in MY tummy and I will prob be the first one in line to pick him up. I didnt think his first day of kindergarten would do me like this, I thought I was gonna be happy that I didnt have to pay $ for day care for him anymore but that isnt the case, I think I am more nervous than he is!

yeah, I didn't think I would miss my son as much as I do. He went to two years of preschool and I was fine, but it was only 3 half days a week. My middle child is really missing his brother. We are trying to play and he keeps throwing fits. I am letting him play on his own right now to calm down until he can play nicely again.

Awww I know your LO's first day of school had to be sooo tough. Hopefully they came home full of great stories and lots of big smiles

We had the most boring day here. Olivia hasn't been feeling good because she is teething so I decided we needed to just stay at home today and rest. I am glad i did though because she seems to be in a much better mood.

I can't believe it. My son gets off the bus runs right past me to go in and change into play clothes to play with his friends. I had to call him back for a hug and tell him we were going in first to look through his bag, then we would play. My little man is growing up, and I'm not ready.

So what is everyone doing this weekend? We dont have any major plans... I may go get groceries tomorrow morning and then we have a Birthday party tomorrow afternoon. I really wish DH wasn't working all weekend, but I am trying hard to not complain. I would just love to have some family time.

LOVE'n this cooler weather! Woohoo!! I'm starting to get itchy for fall now. My tomatoes are reaching the end of their season. Now I have to get the garden cleaned up to put out some broccoli. I'm afraid my DH is gonna plant me in the garden if I bring up the subject of planting anything else. lol. My lo Nikolas has been a hoot lately. He has a new dance where he puts his hands behind his back and bounces/walks on his tip-toes grinning the whole way. Cracks me up. I must get video of this to hold over his head when he's 18.
And note to self: if child is not underfoot then he is definitely up to no good. Case in point-yesterday he was in the living room laughing away and I see him run down the hallway chasing the cat and carrying a bottle of Gold Bond powder. ok. I go and see what's going on, only to discover he has been powdering the cat and I now had powder on the recliners, the couch, the floor, the bed, the nightstand, the dresser, the back pillow, oh and the cat. thanks kid. Nothing like cleaning up powder. Today is another day and it's going to be a great one!

Woke up this morning at 3am with tons on my mind and couldn't go back to sleep till 5:30am. The thing is it was all stuff that I can't possibly change. I started worrying about my first grader, hoping she could cut the mustard with the work she'll have this year - then it went to her entire schooling life - to finding a good job - to what jobs there will be for her - our new president and education issues - me and my retirement - and finally if I am coming down with strep or not at this point (the last day of summer vacation for us around here) and the sucky timing if so.

It's like the random thought dam broke and I had a belly washer all night. Weird!

So, today I am tired and at peace, nothing I can do to change the entire world today.

This morning I had a pleasant surprise when I woke up, my DH made me breakfast in bed. He really is so sweet (most of the time) Ha! We have been spending lots of time together and having some much needed family time. This weekend has been great, I only wish I felt better. Oh well, I suppose something somewhere has to be a little off. For now, I am going to let my DH and LO sleep and work on making blankets and new projects.

PP- Your post just make the smile.

GHM- I worry like that occassionally. It is usually best to get it all out at one time. How is school going so far?

Ashley- I am sure that was a very nice suprise

Well we are having a nice day at home. I did a little grocery shopping this morning and then I have been making pizzas this afternoon. My bread machine does doughs so I am making up some crusts. DH has requested pizza and a movie for his night of rest friday night, lol. Our house smells so yummy right now.

LM - going well thanks. Our students report back on Monday the 18th and I am ready for mine! We already had talks of our Fall Festival today, which I love, cider, cool weather, me face painting 800 kids in full costume and moonwalks - - I just LOVE THE FALL!

I love the fall too!
Good luck with teaching, grndhogmom! I know you'll do great!

PP - ROTFL!!!!
Ashley - sounds like you have a great hubby over there!
Livismom, sounds like a nice peaceful day at your house. Good for you.

Today was a tough day for this mama and I'm drinking a glass of wine and unwinding. Jack was on a rampage today. And of course it was a busy day workwise for me. It's like someone turned a switch. Where did my baby go? He was so ... wild today. I'm just not used to it. Better get used to it, eh? I sense the terrible twos around the corner. He's cutting his eye teeth so I know that's bothering him. But he's just such a wildman lately. And the little tantrums! A new phase that I need to adjust to. He's been mostly a quiet child until now.

Looking forward to heading out Friday night!
