last 20 min of my life

Too many good things to post, and a mind filled with so much it is on overload. So here is the last 20 min of my life while I try to accomplish something:

Izzie

I am not tired.

Why do I have to go to bed?

Why doesn't Jake have to go to bed?

Mom, I can't sleep.

Why do you make me go to bed?

I have tried to sleep but I can't

Can I read?

MOM!!!

Why do I have to go to bed?

Why doesn't Jake have to go to bed?

Mom, I can't sleep.

Why do you make me go to bed?

I have tried to sleep but I can't

Can I read?

Answer me please?

Mom, I can't sleep

MOM, I Can't SLEEP!

All of this after 10 minutes of me trying to reason with the unreasonable and explain why we need to go to bed.



p.s. She just saw the post and is now crying...........it never ends..............

p.s.s We agreed that this was punishment enough if she would just go to bed. She is now asleep and the mom is happy..........

Magnolia and the bee

One thing I noticed while looking for houses and running through neighborhoods prior to moving into our home was the absolutely beautiful magnolia trees. I was so excited when we moved in and realized that we actually had one of our very own. We missed most the blooming in the spring because since we have been our home and it has been "Summer in Texas" or really hot. The other morning I noticed that we had a bloom out on our tree and went out to take some pictures. The poor bloom had seen better days, but I didn't care. Even better is once I got out to the tree, there was a bee having his morning breakfast. Pretty soon I couldn't decide what I liked better - the bloom or the bee. Here are some photos, hopefully you can see why I was so easily entertained.

Bottomless Pit

Tonight we had tacos for dinner and at our house and the house I grew up in, tacos are an institution unto themselves. We all LOVE taco night. I had been cooking while everyone else was eating and when I sat down next to Jake - here is what I saw.....


This. His plate full of rice. This picture show it diminished by at least 1/3. I asked him if he had any tacos and he had 4. I am sure he was only full for about 30 min before complete famine returned.

Daily Affirmation

I had a couple of other posts planned for today but came across this on Facebook and we all can use a little of Jessica's views on life.

Enjoy!

Rangers Fan

We have quickly become Rangers fans. We love going to the ballpark and have taken advantage of coupons books we were able to purchase through my work. Our first game was against the Cubs, and even us die hard Cubs fans were conflicted. I was excited to go see them play Tampa Bay on Friday but it had been a very long week at work and I lived up to my reputation of being able to sleep anytime, anywhere.

You know you are jealous ......

100 degrees

Here it is! First week of June, school gets out today and we are going to see 100 degree temperatures this weekend. LOVE IT!

Have a great weekend!

Body by Gilad

Do you remember this? Last week I missed my run so I worked out to whatever was on FiTV and it was Body by Gilad. Brought back a lot of memories from many years ago. I felt the burn and followed all his instructions and actually might try it again if I am in a bind. I also learned that I really missed these guys....



With YouTube all things are possible, and I just might be transported back to the 80's, my parents basement and doing Hooked on Aerobics with Andee and Toby.
