Green Grass + Red Go-Kart = Ruts!

With all the rain we have had, the

yard is nice and green . . . .

then, here comes Jarett. Can't

make him understand that a nice

steady acceleration would not put ruts in the yard so bad.

I know he's doing it on purpose!

I walk out the back

door and see this.

Good Lord, help this

boy!!

Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo!

It was suppose to be cool,

but was 91 degrees! But we had fun

with the our Friends.

It was a fun, exhausting
trip!

Another 2nd Thursday

Today I used my 2 hours differently.

1st, I went to a furniture store and walked around looking for, hopefully soon, new furniture. I never made eye contact with the sales person and explained I wanted to look.

2nd, I went to lunch by myself. I went to our sushi restaurant and had lunch. I have not had a restaurant meal by myself in a very long time. It was quite and I was upset when the lunch crowd started coming in and sitting at tables near me. I had thought that maybe I was being selfish, going to lunch by myself, but they were having Easter party lunch and I overcame that feeling.

Then I went to pick up the boys and felt the 'LOVE' again. I actually had a moment to miss them - a little.

I think that this was the last day this school season, so my 2 hours alone are over. I can't wait until Sept. :0)

Well, I did sign Jarett up for summer camp 3 days a week. That will be 4 hours, 3 times a week soon!!! :) :) :) Now I just have to find one for Kyle.

Aunt Lydia Update

Thanks for prayers . . .

Aunt Lydia came out of surgery sore but okay. Dr's took lots of lymph nodes and sent to pathology. Jill states looks good. She got into a room late last night and will be coming home today.

Jarett Strikes Again!

Jarett has a Dr's appt today. I told him to take a bath. He had already been outside and in the chicken pen this morning.

I don't know how those of you with boys decide if yours are clean, but I smell my boys. Ha! Ha! Yes, I smell their hair, hands and stomachs. (that enough to know)

Well, I told Jarett again to take a bath.

He calls back, "I DID!"

I never heard the water, usually Jarett fills the tub with a lake three times and had bubbles to the ceiling. So, he had to present himself for the 'smelling'. His hair smelled like shampoo, his stomach was neutral, so I said, "lift your arms". Jarett gives me this funny look.

So, I stood, gave him a stare and said, "Jarett, you had a 'hit and miss' bath, didn't you?"

Jarett puts his arms down and walks away saying, "they are not going to look at or smell my pits!"

God Help Us!!

Aunt Lydia

Aunt Lydia is having a thyroidectomy today at Duke. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and it has scared me. I stopped taking my medicine (RN, bad patient!), but will be making Dr appt.

Please keep Aunt Lydia in your prayers.

Thanks!!
