Had quite a start to my Monday today! Thought I was doing great....kids were a little pokey but I was able to keep them moving along...I was ready early....we got loaded up and were starting out of the driveway...my heel caught on the floor mat, which made me look down to see what caught my shoe....and guess what I saw????????????????????????????
LOL I had two different black shoes on! ROTFL Lucky for me I saw it BEFORE I got to work and had someone else tell me!
That was just the CRAZY start....it was a typical CRAZY MONDAY!
One great thing about the start we had.....it gave all 4 of us something to look back on all day and laugh at!! We giggled all the way across town and they all had something cute to say as they got out of the car!
Glad it is almost Tuesday!
G'night everyone.

i love my pjs
Oh my- I just do not feel like parting with the pjs today! I woke around 8am- read the paper in bed with a yummy cup of Sunday morning coffee with yummy creamer- in my pjs!! Then I made biscuits n sausage gravy- in my pjs. Laundry (multiple loads so far!), dusted, vacuumned, cleaned kitchen, scrubbed some muddy shoes.....all in my snuggly pjs! It is 230 in the afternoon and I am still in my pjs! The boys have all been up, showered and dressed and I cannot seem to get out of my jammies.
Oh well- off to make some yummy Peanutbutter Nanner Bread- my Grandma Spence's recipe. YUM! ( I bought a bunch of nanners to help us get over that BUG- and we all ate enough and couldn't seem to finish this bunch...they are ripe and ready for bread!!) Can you smell the yummy smell??
Sorry my post today was less than interesting- just a plain old day here. Cooking and cleaning.
Happy Sunday to all.

Chicken Foot
On Sunday we went over to Grandma's for a visit. She loves to play games. We tried to teach her how to play UNO and she kept us all giggling as she continued to attempt to play a yellow REVERSE or 0 on everything...it was FUN. Then she decided to show the boys how to play one of her favorite games...Chicken Foot. It is played with colored Dominos (the colrs make it easier to see the patterns, says Gram- but it can be played with black and white ones too. The boys had fun learning and playing...Lil Steve WON! Last time we were over we played Scrabble another favorite of Gram's and Mine!Thanks Gram for teaching the boys how to play Chicken Foot...a memory they will never forget!

Brain FREEEEZE
Yes, my hair did FREEZE in the hot tub!
We had a great time...it was so nice to just sit back and and only hear the SCREAMING of the music NOT KIDS! We attempted to talk one another into cancelling several times throughout the day due to the single digit temps and below zero wind chills....even on the drive over we talked about calling....but we went and actually were glad we did it. It was GREAT!
Now on to my Sunday morning ....haircuts for all, made a pan of brownies to take to Grandma's for game time, and LAUNDRY!
Kids do not have school tomorrow so that helps my Sunday routine be a little more relaxed! No uniforms, lunches etc.
Happy Sunday to all.

http://www.blogthings.com/whatdoesyourcandyheartsayquiz/
Anyone that KNOWS me, really KNOWS ME- knows that this is a FALSE reading! LOL So NOT me. LOL You try
finally...made it out of my bed
Recoving slowly...day #2 of the ugliest flu I have ever had in my life! I spent from 1a.m. (Sunday/Monday) until about 2pm yesterday running from both ends....then Steve came home from his field trip doing the same....this morning we are both still running temps, weak and just running at the lower end.
YUCK! Two days off work...it is driving me nuts...just not me...I am losing control...HELP! How ever can they continue without me...LOL Yes, I know ...let it go. However, it is truly driving me nuts!
To the Hamlin family- I surely hope that I did not pass it on to Cory who brought it to you all...however, I am clueless as to where we picked it up? Sorry!
Maybe I can get enough energy built back up to scrap a little today? Yesterday all I did was 'run' and lay in bed...finally with Tylenol PM I got some sleep.
Happy Velentine's Day to you all....wishing you loads of love and bushelsand bunches of Xs and Os!

wisdom to share
I was IMPRESSED by the wisdom I heard come from my backseat last night after the WILD Miskegon Fury hockey game -
Three eleven year old boys were talking about the game on our way home....here is what I heard.... "Fighting never solves anything UNLESS it's in hockey!" stated Cory!
This coming from the wild child standing on his seat yelling at the other team "RED SUCKS!" every time a fight broke out! Gotta love that sweet young man....he is a HOOT!

hockey? or WWE?
The boys were entertained themselves between the excitement by the little bags that the toasted almonds came in...presto a hat! They were a HOOT!
Seventeen of us went to a Muskegon Fury (UHL) hockey game yesterday evening to celebrate Jake's 11th birthday! It was a sad game...my first ever where Muskegon was getting STOMPED ON! They played Kalamazoo Wings...and there is no love between the two teams. Then again, by my photos you may think otherwise...we saw a whole lot of 'hugging' going on.
Thanks for allowing me to borrow the kids...and thank you to those of you that joined us...

tooth fairy?
Big Steve is home hoping that the tooth fairy will bring him a surprise tonight while he is fast asleep! He did well- the dentist was amazed that he had actually been able to eat with that tooth as bad as it was. He is hanging in there- mashed potatoes for dinner and a Lofthouse cookie or two. Oh and a snitch or two of bacon...
He opted out of the Vicodin they wrote an RX for....decided Motrin would be plenty....I am thinking he is now wishing he had listened and just got it filled. OUCH!
So....we will let him rest and wait for the tooth fairy!

Candles in Waffles?
Happy Birthday Jakob!
He asked to have a candle in his breakfast about a week before....we trie a candle in a waffle....LOL It melted the candle. He wound up with a waffle that looked like a donut...we had to remove the middle---it was waxy!
This was taken at 6am- he was blowing the candle out....or snoring not sure?!!

So many happenings and it is only
....................WEDNESDAY!
Jake's basketball tournaments have been cancelled...hate to say it but we were very happy! Jake's birthday is Friday so now we will head north and catch a hockey game on Sat! I called today and got 17 tickets....Jake is bringing 2 pals with us from Jackson....and then a friend from up north, a couple uncles, aunts and cousins and Grandpa will join us!
Jakob jammed his index finger good (BAD!). It is purple and very swollen! But I believe we are only jammed. OUCH!! His coach felt we may want to get it looked at...Grandpa looked tonight and said he is good to grow! :-)
Grandpa joined us tonight- he had the opportunity to see the boys shoot. He thought it was cool and the boys were very happy to show off!!
BIG Steve is having a wisdom tooth extracted next Friday morning. It started to cut through, got an abscess pocket and now is a MESS! His face was very swollen yesterday....now he is taking 1000 MG Penicillin a day until surgery!
I am scared to go to sleep and see what happens tomorrow.
G'night friends.

sick day
Ok- today is my sick day! Didn't get much rest last night....I do believe I have been poisoned by Wendy's chili. I was feeling ucky from the cold stuff I am fighting yesterday so I decided maybe warm chili would be good for lunch ...a few bites in to it -I stated to a co-worker that it tasted 'yucky'...then I tried to cut a larger piece of burger and saw it was RED and raw inside. I threw it out immediately BUT....felt not so good all afternoon (assumed it was the cold), got home....AND wow....my stomach started hurting like never before.....that's it!! Just a stomach ache with severe coming and going stabbing pains!! all night long.....finally fell asleep around 4AM! I was walking, rocking, laying, sitting, pacing.....ugh it would not stop! Steve thought for certain it was my appendix or gall bladder but I am truly thinking it is just the chili or a bug. NO MORE CHILI FOR THIS CHIC!
So, on a happier note...going to try to grab a nap...clean a little and work on a few crafty things.
Heading for a weekend.
