I have to say, I have very much enjoyed my 2 1/2 hours to myself each day this week,
*****
Heyyyyyyy, it's Friday! Looking so forward to the weekend, it's supposed to be in the 70's.
Hoooray!
Now I need to pick up the house, do dishes and get back to my Ten on Ten though.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
And remember....
"If the Devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack...ouch!...sit on a tack....."
That song has been in my head all week, courtesy of Vacation Bible School.
Do you know this one?
The first year Wyatt went to VBS and came home singing this song I was a little surprised/disturbed,
The other night the kids got in trouble for fighting (hitting) so I made them sing this song and let me record it. They didn't want to do it but as you can see, they got over that quickly.
Charlotte thought it was the perfect chance to show off her mad ballet skillz and Wyatt is
relishing in his brief opportunity to be a comedian on film.
And me? Oh Lord. I almost didn't post the video for the sole
reason that I cannot stand to hear my voice on video. I look and sound like such a dork.
Wait--do I sound like that much of a hick in real life?! Sadly, I think I do.

that's a verse we didn't learn back in the day. But it makes me laugh every time I hear them sing it.

First they had to go to their rooms and think about why they were hitting each other, then the video.
Neither tactic seemed to be real effective on this particular night though, so much for punishments.

I have to say, I have very much enjoyed my 2 1/2 hours to myself each day this week,
I'm not gonna lie.
I have ran errands solo, browsed the shelves of the library while actually able to concentrate and
look for books without hushing kids. I went to Target and looked around, no hurrying,
looked at bras and shoes and just took my time. It was nice for a change.
I got myself a mocha Frappucinno, ran my errands and then drove around taking
pictures and enjoying the quiet for just a while.

The truth of the matter is (and no eye-rolling, please) as much as I love the little break
I have been given this week, I am not ready for it full-time, or even part-time really.
It's one of those grass is always greener things I guess....the breaks are great and yes I want them
and need them for my sanity but I don't really want this time to be coming already, ya know?
Small breaks here and there? Yes, please.
But my baby in preschool in just a couple short months? Ouch.

This week has been so hot, like 98* and up a few days.
We have spent a lot of time here at home this week in our little pool and sprinkler and
we are hoping and praying that the cicadas move on out of here so my parent's can get their
pool up and running. Have you been invaded by the disgusting
13-year cicadas like we have here in Illinois right now?

Oh man, they are bad. Loud and gross and everywhere. I wouldn't say they are that bad at
my house but across town at my parent's they are horrible.
Like you cannot walk outside without being bombarded by them....so nasty.
