Puppies

For those of you that don't know. I have to darling little shih-tzu dogs. Oscar and Jersey. Well on Saturday night Jersey had her first batch of puppies!!!! Of coarse she had to start having them at about 11:30 p.m. So I stayed up all night with her. The last one came about 4:30 a.m. They are so cute!! 3 boys and 1 girl.

Now hopefully in about 2 months we can sell them. All though my kids are already trying to persuade me to keep them!

The many faces of Monkey #3

So my youngest little monkey is spoiled rotten. No really, spoiled rotten. I know I shouldn't have done it but now it is too late. Mind you he is almost 4 and he is home with me all day by himself, so he gets to do pretty much whatever he wants all day. But just look at him. He is so cute.

Don't get me wrong I think he is adorable. One day I found him like this.......

I guess he couldn't find a blanket so he climbed under my bed. The brown is my bedskirt and the teal is the duvet. It was so funny.

It is not so funny though when he changes his attitude at the blink of an eye!!!!

This happens more often than i would care to admit!!!

The things you can do with a Cracker!

Have you ever wondered what you could do with a cracker? I was thinking about saltines today as I was watching monkey #3 pack his package around the house with him. Its funny to me that I can buy all the different kinds of crackers in the world and my kids always go for the plain old saltine. I remembered that when I was a little girl I would eat these with butter on them. It was just so good. So next thing I know out comes the butter and guess what it is as good as I remember. Of course I am of the opinion anything is probably good as long as it has butter on it. But I was just wondering what else people like to eat on these crackers? That is if anyone ever checks my blog anymore since I haven't posted for what 2 months.

What a week

Have you ever just wondered if your life is going to get better. I guess I really just mean calmer.
On Sunday my Great Grandma Huff passed away. She was 96!! For more about her visit my cousins blog http://rnbwilkinson.blogspot.com/ So we have a funeral this week. Then Yesterday we found out my dear hubby has to have surgery. A few weeks ago he was really, really sick. I know this because he has only missed maybe 5 days of work, due to illness, in our 14 years of marriage. This man goes to work while puking even. Three of these sick days were taken in a row in that few weeks ago that he was soooo sick. After many tests and a trip to the hospital, they have figured out that he has gall stones. My hubby does not like to go to the doctor. He does not like the fact of going in for surgery. It took some serious talking to get him to even agree to this. Even after the doctor told him that he had most likely passed a gall stone, and that it makes it a little more serious. I am sure we will survive. Well, he will at least. I am not so sure about me. Taking care of him is worse than having all my kids sick at the same time.

Remember that boy...

• Remember this boy..... Oh, yes its that Monkey #1 again. This is the conversation we had tonight.
  Me: Hey bud how was your soccer game?
  
  Him: Great!
  
  Me: Did you win?
  
  Him: It was a Metaphor!
  
  Me: (very puzzled) What?
  
  Him: you know mom a METAPHOR.
  
  Me: No, i guess I don't .
  
  Him: Metaphor means tie mom, you know, it was 1 to 1.
  
  Monkey #2: (he was observing all of this) "Yeah mom didn't you know that
  
  Me: Oh yeah I guess I forgot
  
  

What do you do..........

What do you do with a child like this?
He looks deep in thought but I am sure he is just coming up with his next form of motherly torture.

He can also look so dashing in his new school attire, but behind it all is my greatest trial in life.

Oh yes, he looks so innocent. I know all about this innocense.

This year my dear monkey #1 made it a whole week before his teacher called me. This is probably a record. If only the things she had to say were good. But no, she only had the words you never want your teacher to say. They are " Monkey #1 threatened to beat me up today." Now I know that this is a serious thing to do. I kept my laughter all in. It was hard, considering my poor Monkey #1 is seriously behind on the growth thing. He weighs in at a whopping 41 lbs. and he is in 3rd grade. So you can see why this would want to make me roll on the floor.

Come to find out he wasn't finishing any of his school work besides threatening his teacher. I am not the kind of mom that thinks that this is acceptable behavior. So my whole labor day weekend was spent helping my little monkey to finish all that work that he hadn't done. Let me just tell you how much patience that takes. Too MUCH!!! He is doing much better now, after a change in meds, and a few visits with the principal.

This morning, as I was dropping him off to school, all my hard work paid off as he said "Goodby most gorgeous mom ever!" Now that is the way all kids should be.
