Daily schedule for staying at home with boys

You are going to think I am crazy.  I am a planner.  I spend lots of time making plans.  Integrating that plan into my life is more of a challenge.  When you read this, keep that in mind.
 
Here is the daily schedule that I have come up with so far for me and the boys [...]

Big Brother and Baby Boy’s Last Day of Daycare

They finished up their last day at our daycare of almost 3 years.  (They will only attend parent’s day out twice a week starting in August).  We sent Big Brother and Baby Boy to school with gifts and homemade cards for their teachers.  I also recruited one of the teachers to come and babysit for [...]

School’s Out. For. Summer!

Yea!  I made it–even went through graduation today…for my seniors.  I was pretty sappy.  I cried way too many times.  I really am proud of all their work–not always hard work, but work nontheless.  Today was also my last day as a fulltime teacher.  I am really excited and even though I go back Monday [...]

Spaghetti, Anyone??

Baby Boy had spaghetti tonight.  It has been a while since we last ate this dish.  The boys both really like it.  It is actually Chicken Parmigiana (my style).  I like making it every once in a while.  Here is what I do:
2 Chicken Breasts, Shake n Bake Parmigian, oil, Classico Marinara sauce (I like [...]

Too Smart for his Own Good!!

Tonight Big Brother and I were working in some workbooks that I got for him from Ebay.  When he finished we put them into the folder that I picked up at walmart for his worksheets.  The folder has a bumble bee on it, so he calls it his Bumble Bee folder.  Anyway, before putting the [...]

He Finally Did It!

Today, Baby Boy walked!  And, ironically as it sounds, my camera’s battery was dead.  Needless to say, if he decides to walk tomorrow, I will have a video or some pictures to post.
Now, he will be into EVERYTHING!  Next thing I know, he will be climbing on the couch…hmm…I guess we need to work on [...]

I’m in Week 3 and still “Flying” Strong!!!

I think I have found my house-keeping-clean-and-organized regimen.  I have lasted 2 1/2 weeks using my version of Flylady.  I have a house that anyone can walk into almost any given time and I would not be embarrassed or walking around cleaning up at all!!!  Most of my laundry has been done for 2 1/2 [...]

He Finally Has a Playmate!!!

You know, I once had one cat.  She was beautiful–a long haired calico I named Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt).  Artemis would play and play and jump on my lace curtains and attack my feet with her long claws.  Needless to say, I got her front paws declawed and I got her a playmate.  It [...]

Eww!! Yucky!!

Today, while picking Big Brother and Baby Boy up from Daycare, I was greatly amused.  I had entered Big Brother’s room and he had spotted me very quickly.  His little friend (who is a girl), A, came up and said goodbye to Big Brother.  Upon hugging him, she planted a kiss on his cheek.  The [...]

…No PNS???…

Wow, I am shocked.  Doc has been on night float for 2 nights and I have not felt resentful at all!!!  This is pretty odd.  I have gone through this up and down awkward feeling for 2 years now.  I get ugly, resentful and impatient with him usually the day before night float starts and [...]

My Pint-Sized Little Guy

Tonight, while Big Brother, Baby Boy and I were in Walmart, we were in the sporting goods section to find an adult-sized baseball glove.  We were looking around and had not found it, so we got in line behind two men at the sporting goods desk.  Big Brother made me proud–although he did interrupt the [...]

Caught Him Eating Paper!!

Baby Boy got caught red-handed and full of smiles today eating paper!! The subscription flyer out of a parenting magazine no less! The worse part? I watched him doing it and didn’t “realize” what he was doing for like, 5 minutes??? Oh, well–A little extra fiber never hurt anyone!

Here are some rare pictures of Big Brother on his bike.  He absolutely hates his helmet and will not always go bike riding because of it.
