No Printer :(

Yeah my printer won't work with my new operating system... at least not to print. So It's been relocated while we search for a HP that will work. That means no photo updates... which is irking me as much as it will you all.

On a positive note I started yet another job this week, I like it... hate the catty crap, and it's really bad there, but I'm trying to take the mom approach and not really talk to anyone except my main man Kevin who got me the job. I'm a receptionist at an eye care place, training to be a tech. I work normal hours which seems to have put me into a normal sleep cycle, and makes me much more awake and energized through out the day... and this is with me being sick for the past 10 days. I've actually accomplished stuff... like today, I weeded the front walk, clipped three batches of lavender, took the kids outside to play, and took them for a brief outing in the car. Weird... now if we could only have the jobs at the same time and weekends as a family... that would be just perfect!!!!!!!

Aug 19th first day of school for the little man

 
 
 
The little man was very excited about his first day of school, although not too impressed with the time of day it starts... me either. Hopped up on the bus with no problems, off the bus with no problems... no tears not even a look back. We were allowed to meet the bus at the school for pictures and to get the little ones settled, which was probably best for me... I didn't want him getting lost or anything... he could have cared less.

1st day Continued

 
 
 
I made the little man take me from the front door of his school into his classroom, he got us there with no problems, then hung up his backpack and started coloring... well complained about coloring more like it... definitely not the artist his mama is... in fact he hates coloring! The day went great according to him, according to us parents who missed the bus and had to go pick him up... it wasn't so good. Yeah we missed the bus. The schedule said 3:18, we got there at 3:10 eagerly waited 25 mins before a kind couple said the bus had already been there, he'll be back at the school if you weren't here. Great and cause it's only 1.5 blocks from the house guess what we neglected to bring... any of the 3 phones that were ringing off the hook. When I went in to get him, he was patiently waiting in the office with his teacher... no tears, Mr Independent.

The little dude of the 1st day of school

 
 
 
I want to ride the bus, I want to go to school, I want my brother!!!!!

Back Blog from July Hmmmm...

 
 
 
 
... how can you get an extra 20 mins in the water at the lake, make sand angels and have to rinse off all the sand AGAIN!!! I found it cute, the frustrated T-man not so much... needless to say they both HAD to get back in the water for a rinse, then dry off... about 20 extra mins gained.

one two three four...

 
 
 
I declare a thumb war... ah passing time in the backseat of the car, all is fun and games until the little dude wins then someone is bound to lose an eyeball, or maybe even the whole head!
