Stranded

This morning while.I eas running errands, I really thought about buying a new battery while I was close to Wal-Mart, but I decided to wait it out. Little did I know, next stop I'd be stranded in the parking lot of the Dry Cleaners. It doesn't help that I had some dental work this morning and half of my tonbue is numb. Every time I have to explain this situation, I am bumbling and lisping (think Daffy Duck) through the explanation.

Ugh... Car troubles ain't no good!!

Engineer

Tre: Mom! I'm building a ride! This is the harness. You throw this rope over a tree limb and someone pulls you up!

This is his third project in 24 hours that I have had to pull the brakes on. The first one was a breathing mask involving a plastic bag on his head. The second was a handmade snorkle made out of straws. If he survives these first 18 years, he will be just fine! We're halfway there!!

Just another day in paradise

It's nuts around here. Kennedy is so excited about ballet that her enthusiasm is catching on! Last night after i got off work, she taught her first ballet class with three students. About five mintes after they arrived, Deisha walked into the kitchen and threw up all over the floor. About that time I got a rare phone call, and of course Scarlette broke out into a hysteria. The same night while I was sitting with Deisha in the basement, the toilet gurgled a few times and shot water all over the bathroom floor.

Listen, I don't mind a little chaos in my life. I am learning that some things matter and some rhings don't. But the key to that is finding the good part in the mess. When the plumber arrived, I shadowed him the whole time. It was probably obnoxious, but I have a lot of traffic on those toilets! I need to know how to clear the lines. Thanks to Mr. Roto Rooter I now know how to access the line from outside and how to use 100 foot auger. Can't beat a lesson from a pro!

It's these crazy days that make the hard days more bearable.

A quick FYI here: If you you find yourself with a clogges toilet, don't trouble yourself with flushing dish soap and boiling water for an hour. There will be bubbles coming out of every toilet in the house, and the plumber will make fun of you!

Patrick and Spongebob

Lol did this whole thing all by herself! Yay for you!

Brothers

How much alike we are
We could be long lost brothers,
We even think the same
You know there may be others...

Can you name that tune?

Always something...

Deisha: Mom! I'm having a good time wiss my banana!

Me: What did you say, honey?

Deisha: Wipe that smile off your face.

You never know with this kid!

Halloween

I'm a little backwards, but here are some photos I took right before we went Trick or Treating.

We went out with three other families in an awesome neighborhood. There were kids everywhere, and with thirteen in our group we had a few close calls. I was glad when Deisha decided she was done so I could go back to the house and hang out with the ladies. Dale had the night off so he stayed with the rest of our crew until they each had way too much candy.

Every year I worry about missing houses on the other side of the street. Then when I realize the volumes of candy we acquire, I am appalled. Not the mention the volumes of candy that I consume...

Anyway, hope you are celebrating!
