Archie, I haven't always remembered your birthday but I'm trying HARD to remember everyone's this year ~ you should see the calendar I carry around with me! Have a great day!

Sick????

Topher is staying with me today because he has STREP. I picked him up at seven this morning. He doesn't have a fever but he DOES have an annoying cough. Kim sent along some "yummy" cough syrup. He and I agreed that he would read, play a game for a bit, then read, play, "rest", read and then play some more. He's going to try and get ahead of Jakob on the "JAK II" game (our new obsession)

Does this guy look sick?
"Read Acoss America" list.

Topher brought his Read Across America list with him and a few books. If the students at Lupton can read 1,500 books this week the vice principal will get a pie in the face! I think they can do it if everyone is reading as much as Topher.

Finally!

At last, an explanation as to WHY I can't lose weight ~ and I thought it was that pint of ice cream I ate for dinner the other night when Buck was late coming home. . . or maybe the sixteen OREOS I had after the boys were here and didn't want to take the left overs home with them. Good to know there is a "medical" explanation.

"I have metal fillings in my teeth.

My refrigerator magnets keep

pulling me into the kitchen.

That's why I can't lose weight!"

We have received our tax refund!

I woke up this morning with a crick in my neck and really wanted to just stay in bed. I made my way to the kitchen where I put Buck's lunch together and made myself a smoothie. Stumbling to the computer I sat down to check emails and bank balances and THERE it was. . . .our tax refund! Maybe it is going to be a good day, after all!

Now, where did I put that heat pad???

Happy Birthday!

Roll Tide!

A bird in the house?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush??? Is that the way the saying goes? What about a bird in the house? What's THAT worth?

Yesterday I walked to the door with Buck as he was leaving for work. I caught a glimpse of "something" as it flew by my head into the house. I thought it was probably a moth. . . .
NOPE it was a bird! When I headed back to the living room ~ there it was sitting on the floor.

What to do ~ what to do!!!!!

I opened the side door and "ushered" it outside with a blanket. Before it decided to take to the great outdoors it landed on a curtain, a plant, a light fixture, the duck on the wall, a chair. . . .well, you get the picture. As I was relating my story to Buck he said "you should have left it inside and maybe it would have eaten ALL the ladybugs" to which I replied ~ "and then pooped on your chair". He was okay with me getting it out of the house.

And how was your Sunday morning??
