Trip to little brother's wedding

It was wonderful to meet his wife and stepdaughter, but the trip to Wisconsin is so long. On the way back, we drove through lots of wind and rain, courtesy of Sandy. If I would have known earlier in the week what the weather would be, I would have left Wisconsin Saturday evening, right after the wedding, rather than Sunday afternoon. Oh well, live and learn. The kids had fun, especially my lego lovers, as Uncle Mike let them build with his legos. They were not allowed to put them away, as he has them organized his way. Once they were done, he had them put all the legos that were out in a container, so he could sort them. :)

I need to get more organized?

It would be a nice change to know where stuff is before I have to tear a room apart to find something... My kids drop stuff where ever, as do Hubby and I, thinking we will get back to it soon and put it away properly. That never happens. I finally found all the parts for 1 small dome tent, so we could go the the webelos woods last weekend. I have 6 other tents, but only know where the poles are for three of them. :P The 2 cabin tents pole bags are big, so very hard to misplace. The dome tents, the poles hide under stuff. Time to go finish the dishes and sort more laundry. Maybe I'll find the bottom of the clean laundry pile, which covers the dining room table.

ARGH!

I'm losing my mind? Got a $100 bill back as change this am, can't find it anywhere... I thought I put it in my wallet with my atm card, Card is there, no bill. Receipt was still in the car, no cash.

School time

It's really weird with only 1 child at home during the day. #9 started kindergarten last week. He reminded me last night that we need to make sure he gets to school everyday. He likes riding the bus and gets mad if he misses it. ;) Poor #10. She likes the attention, have 2 older siblings to watch only her while I work, but misses having people near her own age to play with. Maybe I will sign her up for preschool this spring?

They are driving me crazy!

#4 decided to clean her room properly, as we found out the darn cat is pregnant when we took her in to get fixed tuesday. While pulling all the crud out of the closet, she knocked the large mirror that was in her closet on to her foot. It is supposed to be on her dresser, but the wooden brackets and screws to attach it were misplaced 6+ years ago when hubby and his family were cleaning out his parents house in Florida. I could have taken her to the ER, but hubby is not home and the kids are wired as they slept late today. I will call the dr in the am if she is still hurting. She has ice on her foot, took some aleve and is vegging on facebook, her usual occupation. :P

It's hot!

Thankfully we did not lose power last week, like so many others on the east coast. However, when it is already 97 degrees Fahrenheit at 10 am, it is too hot for me. If I get up really early tomorrow, like 6 am, I may be able to go to 7am Mass and still work in the garden for a few minutes. The weeds are over powering my very small garden (6 ft by 15 ft). The tomatoes and cucumbers seem to love the heat. The poor lettuce and carrots are not happy and the sweet peppers are not doing much. They are still about the same size they were when we planted them 3 weeks ago. :P

Sons

Do they always have to argue and fight? Is it a requirement? It's getting old and annoying.
