Remember When...

So today has been interesting. My nose still hurts and has started to itch like mad. Hopefully tomorrow it will even be better. I did at least feel human today and managed to make some progress in our office. John Michael seems to feel a little bit better, still not 100% but hopefully a good nights sleep will make all the difference.

So did you have those little colored pegs that you put on the plastic sleeve and then ironed to make shapes and what not. Well, the boys found one it is Spongebob and they decided to get it out today. It was so funny to watch them make a crabby patty with these colored pegs and then I ironed it for them. They were excited when it was done and could not believe it. It brought back a lot of fun memories for me too.

Danny came home from school, his last Wednesday by the way, and did his homework. No fighting, no arguing just did it and was done by 4. It was great, he even said so. Why did it take him to the last day to get it figured out? Hopefully he will remember it for 3rd grade. Heck hopefully he will remember it tomorrow.

I have worked on pictures on and off all day and still have a ton to do but I am getting there! Hopefully soon I will have even more done. We shall see.

Well, I am off to bed, I hope that you all have sweet dreams. I will say a prayer for each of you. Remembering back when things were simple seems so hard to do but then a silly activity can bring it all back. Memories are great and should be cherished, they are even better when you combine a good memorywith the present to make more!

Noses Know

Well, I did not know what a broken nose felt like, but I do now. After not sleeping last night, but tossing and turning I finally got up to see two black eyes. They are not bad, but definitely there. The throbbing is a lot of fun, but I will deal. Doctors are just not going to happen. I thought about it and talked to several people. Since it is not visibly crooked, and I can breathe the pain that would come from the doctors office is just not worth it to me.

Most of the day I was trying to stay focused and awake. I was just so tired, and still am. I am hoping that tomorrow is better. I have way too much to get done to feel this way.

After Brandon got home we got in the truck and headed to my mom's. John Michael started saying his tummy hurt and then he decided to throw up everywhere. We came home I brought him in and Danny and Brandon went to moms. I hated that we did not go, but honestly I did not feel like riding in the car. My head throbs from my nose and I am just yuck feeling. We will get by there this week though.

John Michael seems to be feeling better. After his bath he laid around while Brandon and Danny were gone. He has been and still is wild as he can be since they got home. In fact the picture is some of his silliness! Needless to say Brandon and Danny are asleep and I am up hoping that John Michael will be asleep soon. Nights like this I would normally put him in our bed, but he tosses so bad and with my nose that option just is not going to happen.

Danny started bringing home things from second grade. A few stories that he has done, the state stars, his Spanish folder, a few other things. It was kind of sad to know that it really is the end second grade. At least for a few years. I am sure that it will be here before I know it with John Michael.

Amy and I made a scrapbooking date for this weekend and I am super excited. The boys are just as excited because they said they are going to have a party in their room to celebrate summer. Works for me. This is scrapbooking month and it just seemed wrong not to actually scrapbook! Now to get a few pictures printed.

Well, I am off to bed, I hope! I will say a prayer for all of you before I go to sleep. I hope that you have a great night and that tomorrow is productive and full of amazing possibilities!

Mini Movie Night

So this morning we woke up late, but we had enough time to get to the school without being late. I felt bad though because Danny really wanted waffles this morning and that we did not have time to do. Aiming for that to happen tomorrow morning. We shall see.

Today was Danny's last Monday as a second grader. WOW! I know that I have said it before and I probably will say it several times this week. He got his yearbook today, it is great. They really do an amazing job putting it all together. Next year I guess it will be 2 so that each boy has one. Definitely worth it though. They each should be able to capture their memories. They got to have their friends and teacher's sign it this afternoon. Now it stays home.

After school it was time for homework. Only 2 things, so it did not take too long, but was still a fight. Then we went to meet one of the mom's from John Michael's baseball team so that I could take her baseball pictures. They were not able to make it to the last games so I needed to get them to her.

We came home and the boys wanted to watch their DVDs from school. Danny brought the DVD of his First Eucharist home and John Michael brought home the Q and U wedding DVD so we had a mini movie night. I cried when both of the events were live and I cried again first it was emotional and then physical pain.

I tickled Danny, which turned into Danny tickling me and john Michael and me tickling them. Well, it was fine at first then I told them it was time to chill but it was not that simple. It ended when John Michael's head came down on my nose. PAIN! That is the best that I can say. It is still killing me and this was hours ago. I have taken some meds and am hoping that it feels better tomorrow. Going to the doctor is not something I care to add to my to do list. It feels really weird on one side. We will see what tomorrow brings.

We finished watching the movies and then they went to sleep. Well, I am off to bed myself. I am hoping that the pain meds will kick in soon and let me get some sleep. I do not figure that the fact I can see my nose easily is a good thing. Praying it is better tomorrow.

Well, before I go to bed I will say a prayer for all of you.
