Terrific Tuesday

So this morning we woke up on time, not as early as I would like, but on time. This was a nice change from yesterday. YAY for good things happening. The smallest of blessings can make such a huge difference in a day and that was certainly the case today.


While the boys were in school, I scrubbed the bathrooms. I have so much to get done, but one step at a time. I am determined to make progress everyday no matter how big or small. Every step counts. I spent the rest of the day down in the office. I have so many Christmas presents already and I have to get them out of the office so we can get our office back downstairs and off our dining room table. Right now the stuff is one and I am none, hopefully I can change that tomorrow. I honestly did not remember having so much already, which is good and bad. I might have a jump start on 2012's Christmas.
Danny had a great day at school today. He likes Tuesdays because he can wear his scout uniform, which is just something different. I can understand that. I am just glad that he likes to wear it. I am hoping that I can take it to the cleaner's tomorrow and get them to correct my mishaps on his patches.
John Michael had a good day in school, but ended up with another yellow face. I know that he can behave so I am not sure what is happening with him lately. I hope and pray that tomorrow is better.
After school we had soccer practice. John Michael was super pumped that his friend Chason was practicing with him. They are awesome.
We had spaghetti for dinner and John Michael added some Halloween bling to his. Thank goodness for sprinkles! He loves to decorate his food. At least he ate it tonight, which is better than the last time he made his spaghetti sparkle.
Well, they are in bed and I am headed there too. I wanted to be in bed at 9, but 10 is better than 11. Here's to hoping I get some rest. Falling asleep and staying that way seems to be the problem. It will get better though. Please know that I am remembering you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to send them up for my friend Cassandra.

Hello October

So I am super excited about October being here. It is my favorite month of the year. Mainly because it is just about fun. I love to be able to enjoy life and while October seems to be getting busier with each passing day it is just a fun month.
I have given Brandon his reminder about getting the Halloween stuff out. I love when it is out. When it gets put up the Christmas stuff comes out, which is even better.
John Michael had a soccer game this morning. They did not win, but he had a great time, which matters the most to me. He loves soccer and did really good today. Brandon worked the concession stand this morning, we all have to do it once, so we got our turn out of the way. I know that he was glad to be in there since it was about 45 degrees and he was wearing shorts.
John Michael has broken out in the most bizarre rash. I do not know what to do. I have talked to the doctor, they said Benadryl every 6 hours. So that is what we are doing, but I am thinking we will be at the doctor either tomorrow or Monday at the latest. I will keep you updated. I am hoping that it is nothing, but I am worried. Being a mom is definitely the hardest job, but the best!
Spaghetti and meatballs were for dinner. Danny was super excited, he loves meatballs but since I make them from scratch I do not make them very often. I will get better with that. At least I will try. The good thing is we have some leftover so we will be able to have it again this week. This makes me happy because it is one day that I do not have to cook and since I need to go to the store that is always a plus.
With John Michael's rash he and I stayed home while Brandon and Danny went to Steven's birthday party to watch the Alabama game. They stayed till about half time and then came home so that I could get some help with out itchy little man. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I will say we watched the Auburn game and while I wanted to throw something most of the time it was a great game! WAR EAGLE!!! It was so close, but sitting on the edge of the seat is somewhere I have a butt print on the couch from last year, might as well make it more indented. Weagle Weagle WDE Baby! It was a great game. As always I love seeing the boys in orange and blue take the field but when they leave with a W it is definitely even sweeter.
On that note I am off to bed. Hoping for a good night's sleep, especially for John Michael. Praying for all of my family and friends and even those I do not know.
