Donuts with Dads

Rozzie's sweet kindergarten teacher, Mrs. N, posted this message and pic on my wall today.

For Rosalind: Rosalind, we were so busy with the Firefighter and Donuts with Dad..will you PLEASE read your story to the class on Monday? You can do it RIGHT when you get to school! SORRY and I'm SUPER EXCITED to hear both of your stories!!!

COOKIE HIDING UPDATE

But first: The spirit is willing, but the flesh wants to stay cozy in bed.

The cookie-hiding has gone really well this time. It's 24 hours later and I had cookies for everyone's lunches today, and have cookies for lunches TOMORROW. 

Wooo! Go me!

Also: I'm sick of cold and damp. I had to actually WALK in it today. With an umbrella! 

Normally I can handle our crappy cold wet winter weather, when it doesn't last into June.

Conundrum

I'm skinny enough to put my old garnet ring on my finger, but still too fat to take it off.  Hubby offered to take me to the jail and use the ring cutters.

Speaking of losing weight: I'm making cookies and hatching plans to hide them. 

It's hard to find effective hiding places with this group. I had to play "cookie police" today. It helps when I make them while they're away at school.

Shopping in the Hawthorne District

There was also a toy just like this called Nun Chucks. Good stuff.

Coziness

The Carpenters' "Superstar" is on the "grandma" radio station on the way to school. 

Me: The lady singing is dead.  

B: I bet.

(I love this radio station - it's like cozy slippers.)

Also: Neenaw left today. Happy travels, Neenaw!

Later: Bed sounds like a groovy idea.

I Hurt

Sad face. I have a stomachache and headache.

Kudos to my main man for getting everyone to church on time by himself this morning. I've been too busy writhing in pain. I'm trying to rest but this is one yucky bug. I think I have what R had.

Bella had to give a talk in Sacrament meeting today, and I'm sad that I missed it.

I had everyone's church clothes ready for today, so that helped. I hate being rushed on Sunday mornings and we're trying to turn over a new leaf in that department. We now have a "church box" for the three little kids' shoes and ties and stuff.

Later: I was feeling okay enough to visit the relatives at Willamette National Cemetery today.  Tomorrow we're going to Park Hill, and hopefully I won't be weakly shuffling around like your Great Aunt Mamie.

SCREAMY FACES

R and me

Today I'm in "throw stuff away" mode.  I'm tired of superfluosity.

No gym today.

Kid/school conflicts. I'm bummed, I did so well yesterday and wanted to get back there today.

The Humanity!

I despair of ever having a school day without a sicko child on my couch, again.  My gym peeps must be missing me by now. (Because it's all about my gym peeps.)

Sicko #2 is home from school.  But R is off to school for the first time in a week!  Hooray! And I eventually ended up at the gym. Hooray again! 

Later this evening: I'm freezing my can off at C's baseball game.  Shivering burns calories, shivering burns calories...

The game went well. He got on base both times he was at bat, and the second time he made it home.

I'm wearing a very darling jacket. What I should have invested in was a parka, a pair of snow boots and some of those little "hot hands" things.

The baseball game was cancelled

....so C and I went to McDonald's on Mill Plain and had a fun time.

Love my cutie boy.

"you look like you've been on a bender"

Thanks, Neenaw (hee hee) 

Love this rainy place.

Plan

Heading out to blow some of my hubby's hard-earned cash.  I enjoy being a girl.

Birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese

Oh we had ourselves some fun.

Here's H:

R:

And now it's ticket time.

Look at those!!

My feet vs H's - soon I'll have another kid overtaking me in shoe size

And here's my dinner
