Sometimes you feel like not doing something and people should just accept it. After all it is my choice.

Registering FOR THE LAST SEMESTER!!!!! YAH

Registering for the last semester. What a feeling. We, ok I survived living in a college town. I had apprehensions about returning to school, will it work out, income, how long, etc? I graduated earlier and now it was my husband's turn. I had a right to wonder what would the outcome be, still not sure but I have been doing a monthly count down since December 2011. Yep and now I only have 6 1/2 months. What I would like to see is a decision, are we contenting on with more education or employment. If it is employment I would like a quick hire, not dragged out. Not sure where, but I know where I do not want to go. And so the wondering continues. Where will be be in a year from now, no idea. I clean a new set of cupboards and closets every week. Why, helping others moves motivates me to de junk, and I know I it is easier to gradually dejunk than to have to make a quick decision. That and really after helping people move and seeing all of their stuff ugh.

However, it will be a long 6 1/2 months. So many reasons but I don't want to share them all. I am excited for the next adventure. Not sure what all it may entail, if I did know I probable would not want to take the ride. Here is to adventures and come what may. I have realized that everything has two sides awesome and not so awesome. Sometimes it takes a while to find the awesome when it seems as if nothing positive could come, however if you look you can find something positive.  Example: We took the kids to Green Canyon, and the boys rode bikes, we drove around, A. chased butterflies. Then we drove and coming back A. wanted to ride his bike, C. fell asleep in his car seat. Well, A. was going over 15 mph, we were driving behind him, going down hill and wipe out. He was going to fast lost control and over the bike, got his forehead, fat upper lip, bloody gums, cut his thumb, got road rash on his cheats, got his knees. So lesson learned bring the helmet.  Positive--> he wore pants and a long sleeve shirt his choice. Then driving back C. woke up and was crying and yelling my tummy hurts. Well I said to Eli I hope he doesn't, "PUKE" I spelled that. Well he said it again I stopped, and let the puking commence. I was getting backspaced on my legs so I grabbed him and moved him to the weeds, let them absorb that nasty stuff right. Then after what seems like eternity he quit. Back into the car only now laying on the seat like he was dying. Then home, what an event. Positive --> The puking happened outside the car. Not sure what caused it.

Decisions

Have you ever been faced with choosing the correct multiple choice option, only that choice would effect the rest of your manhood? Trying to choose companies to possibly apply for, for my spouse, and the location. It is like a double multiple choice option, pick this company your options are to live here, and so on. So what company and where. I don't know it is like high school  all over again during a huge test and your massive brain fart no, aneurism.  Well, not everyone will be happy about the decision, good thing we live in the era with electronics, gas, and airplanes then people can come and visit. However, we know how that goes people always say you should come and visit, well last time I did I knew I would take the same road home, and amazingly enough when they build interstates, highways, back roads, they always have a way to return to the place you started, which means the people whom tell you to visit can also travel to see you. Astounding concept. This concept blows Einstein out of the water, because when people realize they can travel outside their living area WOW!

So, I was looking for pictures of job sites, Eli needed some transition photos and I found many other photos that I forgot I took. Oops. So when I figure out how to use a new program I will be updating a couple of years of old photos. That is why I carry the camera to trigger my mind that forgets to upload the photos. I realized that I need to update the way I store photos also. So I may find many others that I forgot about.

"That is a naughty word, do you want to eat soap the next time you say that?" C.

So C. has been saying some not so wonderful words. To be more specific idiot, hate--I can live with but trying to get them/him to think out of the box and choose another word. Other words shit, ass, dam. If he hears any word it becomes engrain in the little brain of his. He said shit the other day, so I said what did you say, "Shit Mom" C. I relied we don't use that word that is a soap word, "Well dad said it so it is ok" by C. I said no adults/big people say things they should not and that is one of them. "Ok mom"C.

A week before he would not stop with idiot. Yelling idiot and everyone was an idiot for doing anything. So I said you don't stop you will get soap in your mouth. Well, he didn't so first I caught him he was running away and then I grabbed dove, I figured that would be better than irish spring. And I stuck it in his mouth. I didn't make him bite and chew. But now he says "That is a bad word,(any word) I hear it again you will get soap in your mouth".

C. has nonstop talking. Going on the toilet we hear him singing. In the car jabber, jabber. It is total randomness and nonstop. Sometimes I say stop talking I need some quiet. If the radio is on he tries to sing with it, making up random songs. Crazy little boy.

Fun Websites & more

I don' t know about you but January tends to drag on. So I decided to post fun things to try to record it and if you want try it. My kids love art, experimenting, painting, making messes and pretty much anything to stay busy.  So some fun sites I have found are coolmath.com, abcya.com, and starfall redid their site--which is not tons but if you subscribe it allows you to do everything.

If you have time and printer ink, check out http://www.kellyskindergarten.com/ for younger children. You can change the words to sight words your child is working on. I liked the games. Very easy to use. Check it out.

I am looking for my resources to find more stuff. The next post will have a hands on activity and possible photos so you will try it.

Catch up

So it seems that I am just slow to post anything. I have taken alot of photos which will be aired later. For Thanksgiving my Aunt Mick, Mom, Dad, and Ken came up. They stayed in a Hotel Wednesday night, Thursday night and left early Friday morning. The boys loved it, my parent's hotel they resided in had a huge pool that the boys loved. They swam for several hours Wednesday night and then over three hours Thursday night.

For Thanksgiving dinner we ate the usually food except for sweet potatoes, yams, giblet gravey, etc. For dessert we had 4 pies chocolate frozen one, chocolate pudding, lemon mereinge, and razzel berry. She were all good, we all had little slivers of each, better to have a little of each.  Then after we ate, cleaned up and then looked at maps we left to check out the civil defense caves. We drove to see the caves and then got in, and it was crazy pitch black, we had flash lights, and you could see cracks in the ceiling above us and the floor was rippled and rough. We saw frozen ice balls that looked like snow globes. It was awesome and weird when you see all of the large boulders on the ground, you begin to think will the cold weather make the rock around you crack and fall. Then you forget what you are thinking about and begin on to see what is around the corner. Then my child C. decides that he wants the flashlight and you run into the rocks on the ground and trip. Kids.

I dropped out of school I realized that it was too much working, going to school, and trying to raise kids while Eli is in his 2nd internship.  He finished that internship. So now he watches the boys, they dont like daycare, A. says mom I just can't do it today, meaning daycare. We have done some fun classes with fun experiments. I think I will start sharing what we do, with the ideas so you can also do some fun things with your family, or relatives.

Some fun classes are crayon art, wacky lemon science, world safari, etc. I love the Crayon Art. They peeled crayons, broke them and placed them in silicone molds and cooked them at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, then cool and they pop out of the molds in shapes of a circle, gingerbreadmen and snowmen.

I just watched 60 minutes and the homeless and families living in cars and it made me grateful for the small place we have that is out of the elements and not in a car.

My job has opened my eyes to many things. I enjoy it and love watching kids grasp a concept and have fun while learning.
