Is it bedtime yet?

Well here it is 7:55 p.m. I am ready to fall asleep but my boys are going strong. I didn't get much of a nap today. I don't feel like I got a lot done today. I don't know where the day went. I helpd Abbi move her stuff into her apartment this morning. The boys and I came back to Robert's and I warmed them up some lunch. They had a short nap. I had to take Cameron to the doctor today. He has been complaining of his head hurting and last night he was pulling on his ear. I thought he had an ear infection. Dr. Young said the ears are fine but thinks that maybe Cameron has sinus infection. (Poor kid) He has 2 medicines to take. We were going to go wash the dirt off my car but the car wash was closed. We came back to the apartment and I tried to pick up some stuff and then I thought that I had better run to Wal-Mart to get some milk. Of course I didn't get just milk. Found some other groceries too. For Wal-mart being so close it sure took me a long time. I dropped off the rx's at Walgreens and came back to the apartment and it was after 6 and Robert had just gotten home. I didn't have supper ready:( We decided to warm up pizza for the boys and Robert was going to go get us Taco Bell. I told him I wanted the steak supreme chalupa. Well of course he ordered the meals and they gave him the change and our drinks and he took off. He came in the apartment with Cameron's medicine and our drinks. I asked where our food was. He thought he forgot it in the car. He goes out to get it and he didn't have the food. He had to go back to Taco Bell for our food. When he came back he said something about my chicken chalupa. I said I ordered steak. I thought he was just messing with me the way Bob always did but no he had ordered chicken. I guess that's one way to get me to try new things. I think the poor guy is a little stressed. He had a rough day at work today. Tonight he has a basketball game. I thought about going but I don't think I could run after the boys at the game. In fact I think its only about 10 minutes away from their bedtime. It is so cool having so many places within a mile of you. We have Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Office Depot, Quiz-nos, Burger King, Taco Bell, Dairy Queen, Hy-Vee, Applebees, Kohl's, Lowes, Dollar Tree, just to name a few places within such a short distance. Can you tell I'm from the country? I'm used to driving 30 miles to Wal-Mart. Well I guess I better get these boys to bed. I might not be to far behind them. In case I don't get any more blogging done before I leave here - I am planning on leaving by 1 p.m. on Saturday. I want a chance to get home and get my mind in order before going to work on Monday.

A week in KC

Wow I can't believe I have been in KC for a week. Time flies when you are having fun right? I thought I was going to have time to relax. What was I thinking? At least I can find time to post to my blog. I thought I would be snapping a ton of pictures but I have only taken a few. Last Thursday Abbi and I had to take Bo to the doctor. They thought he just had bronchitis but the radiologist said on Monday that it was pneumonia. So I have to give Bo medicine 3 times a day. Friday was a day we could actually stay at home. Grandma was pretty rough when she said it was nap time. I had to use some Super Nanny tips. Bo wouldn't stay in bed so I ended up sitting outside the door until he learned he was staying on the bed. Of course Saturday and Sunday was not normal routine since we went running around with Daddy. Bo got his build a bear. He picked out a bunny and his name is Bo the Bunny. Monday when nap time came Bo kind of threw a fit even though he stayed on the bed. I picked him up and showed him how Cameron had laid down on his flip couch in the living room. I put him back in his room and had no more problems. Yesterday he had to go back to the doctor for more x-rays. He is improving but has to finish his medicine. In the afternoon when it came to nap time he went laid down and did not cry or anything. It is so cool to get lots of loving from both of the boys. I don't know who is going to miss who more when I leave. I should not think about that. I don't know if I will go home Saturday or wait until Sunday. I have to be at work on Monday. Well I guess I better get busy and get some things done around here. The next thing you know it will be lunch time.

I don't like Mice and Snakes

I hate mice and snakes. The other morning I got up and Pole was playing with a mouse. I was able to lure it away from him after I gave him a can of tuna. I was able to scoop the mouse up with the broom and the shovel to the wood stove. Later before I went to work I was at the computer and looked down and there was another dead mouse. I had to scoop him up too. Well today I was talking to Michael and Amy on the phone and I was standing out by the addition. I was trying to put away my Christmas tree that I had outside. All of a sudden I saw under the table out there a dead snake!!! Uck! I tried 3 times to scoop it up and I just could not do it. I finally ended up calling Chris and left a message on their machine. Mel called me when they got home. Chris was my knight in shining armour and came out and picked up the snake. What a relief to get that out of here.

New wheels

Well most of you know that I got a new car!! I am so excited. I can't wait to go somewhere. I am trying to be very sensible and not run all the time. I really could use a Pepsi but I am trying to resist the temptation to run go get one. It is going to be difficult. When I did my budget I didn't budget for car washes. I think I am going to have to do some changing as I can see it is going to need washed from the dirt roads. I wonder what Bob thinks right now.

Today I talked to Mikey. He wanted to talk to Grandpa. I tried to tell him Grandpa was not here that he was in heaven with Jesus. He told me to go get him. I was at such a loss of what to say to this child. He just didn't understand why I couldn't go get Grandpa. When I tried to tell him that Grandpa died he said "Did somebody shoot him?" You can really tell that they see the news after that remark.

Well I guess it's time to try and figure out how to put a picture on this blog so you can see my new wheels.
