slacking on the blogging

I am guilty of it. Lots of excuses I could list - work, kids, sleep, laziness....But you probably figured that out anyway.

Cooler weather this morning when I let the dog out! I had no idea it was coming. Mostly b/c we have not watched the news this week I suppose.


The kiddos rocked it at the dentist this morning. We have not had the greatest luck at the dentist. I blame Jamey, of course, as he has always had tooth issues. The dentist blames me, I am pretty sure. Well, not really.  I am exagerrating. He is actually a really nice dentist - the kids love him - and he is good at what he does. I just get a tad weary of hearing the "happy foods, sad foods" speech which we mostly follow anyway and we still seem to come out with the same results every 6 months. Sigh. Anyway.

Ansley had a tooth pulled today so the tooth fairy will be visiting us tonight. The tooth fairy was prepared for this tooth pulling and made the appropriate cash withdrawals at the tooth fairy ATM. I think Ansley would have been fine going to school after her appointment , but she asked to go to her great grandma's house where she will spend the day cuddling, eating soup, watching cartoons and doing a little sewing. These are important things when you are 7 years old. Heck, sounds like a fantastic day to me and I am 31! So I left her cuddled up in the rocking chair with Mamaw Jo and then took Stephen to school. Normally he would have never allowed Ansley to stay without him, but today is Grandparents Day at his school and so a very excited Mamaw Judy, Grandad (Steve) and Nanny (mymom) will be joining him for lunch today. He was thrilled in the way only Stephen can be thrilled. A smug little half smile and holding his backpack straps on his chest, he tells me "see ya, mom. Its not mom's day for lunch."
Well, alright then. Guess I know my place.

Happy weekend, everyone!
And GO JAGS!!!!!!!
