What's up with that?



Do you see what LB is eating? Do you notice what is on the table in front of him? Yes, freshly baked, homemade, hot, melty, chocolate chip cookies with a big glass of milk. When I called the boys out to the kitchen for my -proudly being the best mommy- cookies I just got out of the oven, LB points to the pantry and asks for "Chips?".

Honestly, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

Hooray for flushing!!

That's all I'm saying about that.

Yes, we are back in our own house with electric and running water. We went to stay with Hubby and family for a while until we could get back to our routine. It was a nice visit. The kiddos had a good time being refugees. LB was happy to go home as long as the TV was working. BB missed a couple wrestling shows because the DVR didn't record. But just like Days of our Lives, he got right back on track watching the next one that played this week. So we are all back into the groove.

It was kinda funny camping out in our own house. I totally feel for those still without power and water. I guess there are still a few in our area. And who knows how many down south who are still struggling. Lord, help us all!

So the kids had a whole week with no school. I don't think they minded. School was closed Mon-Wed and I took them out of town Thur and Fri, so they got another extra vaca. I hope the school didn't decide to do any major grading projects in those last couple of days. I hate playing catch-up with my (yes, MY) schoolwork. I only claim it because it's true. When kids go to school, so do the parents.

Well, today I will be playing catch-up on more fun things like laundry and cleaning. And of course, unpacking. I will also be thanking the good Lord above for those flushing toilets all the while I am scrubbing them. It's the little things, you know?

One quick last post for a while...

Well, here I sit with just a few minutes left on my computer battery. We have had no power or water since Sunday night at around 7pm. So I will not be on here too much till things get back in order. The power company gives a time range of any time from now till Friday to when it should come back on. On the news, they are saying maybe this time next week. Who knows! So I will be packing up the kiddos and taking off for a while. The school doesn't have power either so the kids can't go anyway. Hopefully, we can get it straight soon. Call me crazy, but I like to flush and shower. Silly me!

Later taters!

Take a pause...

Make sure you take a pause today to remember our fallen and thank those that have and are still fighting for us. :)
