Okay, I don't know what I did to deserve this week, but it must have been bad. The whole week has been like a black cloud is following me...so stay far away!
Here are some of the things making me crazy right now: After weeks of praying so hard for rain I got a surprise...2 windows that have let the water come seeping in and down my walls (imagine...bubbled paint, water spots on the ceiling, pot full of water), then I woke up the next morning to find that a spider(I think) has bitten me in a less than convenient place. Major pain in the ... hopefully you get the picture. Well it kept swelling and hurting so I went to the doctor and the meds are making me so sick. 2 calls (this week!) from the school nurse regarding my kiddos. This time it seems that Mason fell and they thought he had a broken leg. So another trip to the doctor. Thankfully he just pulled his groin. While driving to work today, the electrical things in my car went haywire. That means no speedometer, rpms, etc. AAAGGHH!!! So you can understand why I want this week from you know where to hurry and end.

Pitiful
Last night at church we did a mock Bible Bowl. I have never participated in the adult challenge before last night and boy was I embarrassed. I was seated across from both of my children and caught myself cheating off of them! I was actually watching them as the questions were being read and I could see which card they were fixing to hold up. Well, I was confronted this morning by Maclaine. The conversation went as follows:
Haley: Laine...I am so proud of how well you did last night in the Bible Bowl!
Laine: Mommy you did good too!
Haley: Thanks..I had fun watching you and Mason.
Laine: Mommy, why were you always staring at my cards?
Haley: HUH? I wasn't staring at your cards, I was just watching you.
Laine: No you weren't...you were cheating off of me!
Haley: What? I didn't cheat.
Laine: Then how come you always held up the same cards as me?
Haley: Okay..I was cheating just a little, but only because I knew you would know the answers!
Laine: It's okay...you did your best!
How terrible to be caught by my daughter! We laughed this morning at how amazing children are and how much they know (more than I give them credit for!)

Oh my aching bod..
This is week 2 of my attempt at running. As of now I am up to 1 mile running and 1 mile walking. Slowly but surely it is getting better. I have noticed that I have lost about 3lbs and that I have been so out of shape! My legs and butt are so so sore. Anyway, I got up this morning at 5:30 before work and ran and am amazed at how great I feel. Just thought I'd share what is going on in my life!!

Oops!
A few months ago at Maclaine's kindergarten check-up, her doc suggested that she might need glasses b/c she had some trouble looking at their eye chart. I thought the whole time...You aren't an eye doc and your chart is stupid and she has no trouble seeing. Well, I decided to get baseline eye check ups for the whole fam and ended up needing them myself. Yesterday was Maclaine's appt and boy do I now feel like the worst mom ever. It turns out that she is very farsighted and has bad eyes. Her prescription is so strong that he wouldn't give her glasses that she really needs yet b/c it would probably make her sick. So, now she has 2 cute pairs of glasses and I am having trouble looking at her and not feeling guilty. I tried to look through them and they are so strong that I couldn't see anything. Bless her heart. Who knew that parenthood could make you feel like the worst person ever. I asked her why she didn't tell me that she was having trouble seeing and she replied "Mom you are always at work" (double whammy.)

overwhelming
Well, today is Len's last day of summer and I think he is not very happy about that. I cannot believe it is over. We did have one of our best summers yet...I think. Between travel baseball for Mason, basketball camp for both, fishing, lake trips,and the beach we have been very busy. I am excited and overwhelmed about having both of the kiddos in school full time this year. I got my 07-08 planner yesterday and have been filling it out only to find that it is completely stressing me out! That is not good. On the other hand, how nice it should be to have my days that I am off work FREE!!! I have dreams that I will go to the gym daily, TRY to take up running (not holding my breath on that one) and keep up with the laundry and house work. In Len's eyes I will have no excuses. I have news for him...there are certain things mommies must do to keep sanity in the home. For example...manis/pedis, catching up on 6 years of missed tv, bubble baths, naps...you get the picture! Well, I must quit dreaming and get back to work.
