Daily Life

I love the bullet format so much I just may post a little more regularly.

* Ethan is playing with a shovel in the cat's food bowl as I am typing. And weirdly I am cool with that. Last week I was talking to Caryn while cooking dinner and I lost power to everything in the kitchen. Shocked I walked out to the garage to see Ethan on a stool flicking off all my breakers! So the kitty bowl is really no biggie..the litter box on the other hand....


*We had a full day of school, we are on the tail end of the civil war going into reconstruction. We just finished "Behind Rebel Lines" and "Shades of Gray" These were both favorites, we didn't want to put them down. Liv is ging to start 5 in a row this week. I used it with Maddy her kindergarten year and forgot about it until Julie mentioned it. Well since Liv is just hanging out doing random K stuff I thought we would add it for the summer. She will start Sonlight Core 1 in the fall when Maddy starts core 6.

* Ethan just said dammit when Mike hung up from talking to him. I said what?? He said the phones not working dammit... (apply soap to mouth, rinse, and repeat). Ethan- "Daddy says dammit." Me- I will wash his mouth out when he gets home, too...

* I have felt yucky for the last 2 days, kinda queasy and tired. Hope I am not getting the stomach bug.

* We went to the new park in Umatilla yesterday. It is like Disney in the middle of the boondocks. And can I just say that this will soon be known as heat stroke park in another month. There is NO shade anywhere. They built the park in the middle of the prairie, which is good for keeping track of little ones, but not good for 90 degree florida sun. So I think this will be a evening, and maybe the winter time park for us. It definitely was neat. Although park day is not really fun for me at this moment. I can't sit and chat because Ethan is on the move! Is it totally selfish to leave your kids at home so you can go to the park and socialize???

* My sis is coming home tomorrow.

* I am trying to decide if I am going to freak out over the swine flu. I have a whole pantry of rice, so I should be okay. I just don't feel like freaking out right now...Rhonda overheard a Walmart employee saying (in a southern accent) "Yeah that flu is the bird flu,the swine flu, and the human flu all put together" I am glad there is no misinformation going around! I would hate to catch this birdswinehuman flu, that would surely kill you!

* ok I need to start dinner, maybe we will have pop tarts.
