Back to the Grind

Everyone was back to work and school today. It is always nice when we have some time together, but routine is what works best for us. As I am sure that it does everyone.
Our alarms did not go off, but the thunder at 6:10 this morning did the job quite nicely. While it is later than we like to sleep it was not too late.
I got ready and got the boys up while they got ready I fixed breakfast and Brandon headed out. While the boys were eating I got dinner in the crock pot. Roast and potatoes. Because both boys have basketball it is easiest to do crock pot meals on Tuesday nights.
I came home and managed to get three loads of laundry done. Danny's bedding changed from Christmas to Auburn, which made him happy. Now just two more beds to go. I was able to knock out some homework and got some photograph's edited. The time went by quickly and before I knew it I was heading out to get the boys. Then it was time for homework.
John Michael ended up with a yellow face, which meant extra homework that I make him do. He has to write an apology to his teacher. Tomorrow will be better. I am a little sad that we have this string of yellows that keep appearing. We will just keep working on it, I know that he can do it and will keep encouraging green and discouraging anything else.
Both boys had practice tonight and it came a serious downpour while we were there. It was pretty much done when we left but it made the ride home a little scarier than what I like. It was pretty bad but we made it safely.
Well, bedtime is here and I am glad. It has been a long day and I am beat. I hope that everyone has a great night. Do not forget a jacket tomorrow it is going to be cold.

Happy Birthday Blessed Mother Mary

So today was a much better day. I think having the bed to ourselves, and better having lights to get ready by seemed to put everyone in better moods. Of course there was some serious catching up to do, the blog is just one of those things. It will be tomorrow though, because I still have to upload pictures, and I am too tired to do them tonight. Just being honest! :D

Today is the Blessed Mother's birthday so the boys took flowers to put in the classrooms for her. It was such a sweet moment. They were told to pick them, not buy them, and they did! I was so proud of my little men. Of course I needed pictures.

Well, I had and still have a ton of laundry to do. I was able to get school shirts washed which was VERY important. I was very concerned about how we were going to go to school. I am still in some serious need of laundry doing, but I am hoping I can get it done tomorrow. We shall see.

I was also able to cook dinner tonight, which was great. We had pot roast. It was delicious, but I think at this point anything cooked at home would have been delicious. ;) Of course I had to go to the grocery store first. After cleaning out the refrigerator and the freezer upstairs there was nothing left to cook. 5 garbage bags of stuff. I was literally sick taking them out. So sad.

There is good news though, our freezer downstairs, the deep freeze that I had just filled up this weekend never got above about 10 degrees! YAY for dried ice and 2 wonderful uncles who got it for us!

Well, I am off to bed! I will get pictures uploaded tomorrow and be back on track. At least that is the plan, hopefully it will happen.
