The Grocery Store

While many of you may not understand all of you mom's should. Summer grocery shopping is difficult because no matter who well organized I try to be, with 4 extra arms helping me shop I always forget what I came for, yes even with a list, and get more than what I needed. While the boys went back to school last week, I also had to get some things ready for Cub Scouts so today I started working on our house. The first step was the grocery store! Yes, I went alone. I got everything I needed, few things that we can always use that were on sale, and still spent less than I did all summer. It was great. While I love to be able to take my boys places, the grocery store is just one of those things I enjoy doing myself! I was very thankful to be able to today! It was definitely a blessing.

Small confession...before going to the store I went a got a pedicure, and decided to get a manicure as well. I am really going to try to do this for myself at least once a month, I always feel so much better after the fact. We shall see how that goes.

The boys had another great day at school, which makes my heart super happy! I am hoping that all of my friends who had their kiddos start school today had wonderful days! They all deserve it! Mommas and kiddos alike!

Homework time was sort of wild, you would think Danny would be all for the routine, but he was the one making it difficult! John Michael has homework everyday too, but he thinks it is awesome, something Danny has never thought. It all finally got done, but it was not an easy task. Third grade is a tough year, and I plan to stay all over him, I even raised the amount he will get for straight A's on a report card. Let's see if we can keep it up. For those of you who do not know Catholic school has much tougher scale than public school so it is money well earned if he keeps it up!

Well, I am off! Prayers are with you all!

Seriously....TOO LOW

So today was a day full of many amazing blessings.

I woke up and had a few minutes to myself, then I got to talk to a great friend. Beth, thank you for making my day this morning and I am glad that nobody had to get run over!

When the boys got up they were in great moods and Brandon made breakfast! It was cinnamon rolls and orange rolls and they were very yummy.

We were getting ready to go to the water when my phone rang from a number I did not recognize. It was living social, the daily deal e-mail blast company. They were referred to my photography page and were interested in a deal. I was definitely interested. I will know Monday if it all worked out. This will be a great way to build some more business. Praying that it works out as planned and that when it runs it is a HUGE hit! If you do not currently get the deals please sign up and support this great company who wants to help my business!

Now for the TOO LOW. The boys and I went on down to the water while Brandon ate. I heard a plane that sounded a little too low, which is common with the crop dusters and what not. Well, it was a private jet of some kind and it was so low it had to do some fancy maneuvering NOT to hit the power lines that run from the Causeway to Coosa Island over the slough back towards our place. The maneuvering continued to get high enough not to take out the trees behind us. It was quite scary. Brandon even came out to find out what the heck it was. Get this, idiot did it again. I am going to write or call someone. That was seriously scary!

John Michael is jumping off the pier. He is even making up jumps, there is the Batman, the slippery, the sad, the flying pencil, the karate. It was so sweet. Danny was working on his dives. They are growing up so fast. All I can say is WOW!

Again, I am not actually posting this yet, because I cannot add pictures. I will post them all Sunday! I am about to head to bed. We replace the shower head, which I think has to be done yearly. We also put in a new bathroom faucet! Hopefully everyone likes it.

Well, I am off to bed! Good night everyone. Enjoy your weekend! Looking forward to tomorrow at the lake! Hoping for a pretty day and limited plane spottings.
