Little Boy's artwork for his sign

Baby is a princess. Little Boy is a soldier, of course.

Monday, Monday

So glad it's not Sunday.

Ha.
Sunday's are rough on us. DH is on last shift, and when I woke up yesterday and looked at the clock I about freaked. 8:10! Why didn't he wake me up! Then I realized he wasn't home yet. He had to work over and got home about 20 minutes later.

So I rushed us around getting ready, and walked out without my Bible. ugh.

We made it through the morning, and came home. We are trying to do something new. Instead of stopping to get McDs on the way home, we come home and make our own sub sandwiches. WalMart has some yummy wheat rolls that we use. Chips, applesauce, a couple little cookies, and I think it's healthier than McDs. And I think a little cheaper, but I'm not sure. I do splurge a little and get some different cold cuts and cheeses. It's a switch, anyway.

Then it's naptime, and when we all woke up and ate supper (Baby is SOOOO slow!) ran out the door and got to church, I was exhausted. I took the kids next door for "class". We worked on some things for the Christmas "program". ahem. It's going to be so small, it's almost pitiful. But I think the kids need to get up in front.

We got home and Daddy was awake. The kids about tackled him. I love it that they are excited to see him. We watched AFV, and it was bedtime for babies. :0) Daddy left for work and I had 2 hours of me time.

That 2 am alarm clock is a killer, though. I was almost out of bed when I realized what it was. I checked Little Boy. 66. sigh. Gave him 2 glucose tablets and waited 15 minutes. Called DH and fell asleep on the phone. He woke me up. Checked son again, and gave him a pretzel. It's amazing how he can eat in his sleep. His number was 213 this morning. Like DH said, this all falls under the heading, "It never makes sense."

It was a little after 5 when Little Boy climbed into my bed. His bed was wet. He flopped for awhile; I really wanted to knock him out, but I was too tired to lift my hand. DH got home at 7:20 and LB got out and DH got in. And I got up. @@

I drank some coffee this morning. I don't usually drink coffee. But I think this morning it's essential to functioning.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Macy's parade, yummy turkey, cranberry sauce, carbohydrates out the ying yang, pumpkin pie, kids, husband, in-laws, Prevacid and Wellbutrin.

Yep.

It's going to be a great day.

It's in the oven

I fixed a crustless pumpkin "pie" for Little Boy's sake. I reduced the sugar and substituted brown sugar Splenda. I was about to pour it into the baking dish and realized I had forgotten the eggs. Yikes. I was told I didn't need to bring anything, but I need to make sure LB has dessert.
