RTT August and summer and only 28days left

RTT, yep that's today Random Tuesday Thoughts, I'm sure you've seen if all over the blogosphere cause well it's popular, have you seen that list!! Keely's site?
So go on over there pick up a badge, start randomizing and then when your don't, slap your link onto her comments/ linky thingy and finally read some other random thoughts. Tuesdays aren't Tuesday's without some random. Cool she's got naked in there this week... wait it's Casey that's naked and running to the potty? great now I know where my child get his "can't go to a different potty" from; he's been reading my blogs?

randomtuesday

you know it's great to see when someone goes on vacation and asks someone else to fill in that they DO it! Remember that Hubbie Random Tuesday that didn't? I'm still wondering what exactly he'd say.


Well the beach was great and warm but when the beach is warm everyone and the parasites want to swim too, ick! so they are advising you to towel off quick as you get out. PASS! This maybe why Aj has a bit of a spot on him, he had a cut, put a sticky bandagey thing on it and I guess the water got stuck in there because the spot where the sticky was is now red, I'm treating with neosporin for now. The cut part healed, the sticky trapped water part didn't. ugh!

Probably wouldn't be a good idea to swim there naked, see I fit in now;got that done.

Maybe the ocean is called for, might be time to hit the ocean beach. Some nice salt water to stay a float on.

The boys got a tent for grading from my parents, we picked it up on the island, and now we're missing a pole I called and they can either send the pole with a guy that commutes a lot from there or not. I said don't worry about it, I'm not outdoorsy enough to go all silly about it, they wouldn't last out there by the crop circle for more then an hour tops! ha!

Sleepless nights, then again maybe it would get AJ to sleep earlier if I told him he couldn't have the tent night if he didn't go to bed in it? He's been getting up and dragging out bed time. He's that child that tries every single trick in the book to get things his way. It doesn't matter that I don't change my mind or that he doesn't get his way, he's still going to keep trying. Isn't that Kyoot? no!

We haven't seen any critters lately, nope no sign of them? Maybe they are busy bunking down for the winter? it is August? I'm noticing it's a tad cooler at night, the leaves on my first flowering tree of the year are 1/2 gone,Wahhhhh!

28days! (not that I'm counting) until the boys are back in school and I enter my last year of having a preschool kid home. ACK! I may have to solve this.

Abandon Chair was having a bit of a time out this week.


So when discussing cars with some of my commenters, Ashlee, clued me into this gem, her car? has a "anti-hit me shield". She had suggested this after the previous suggestion to put all the kids in the 3rd row of seats. I like this idea so much that now 3rd row of seats is a keeper feature. Maybe an invisibility cloak would be handy too?

Right now we have TJ back there in the 3rd row in my van, with his lovely puke bucket, paper towels, fridge and pillow for when the gravol kicks in. I wonder if the others would like to join him, and I'll stow all the stuff in the middle. Well we've also added a Journey to the list of "maybes?". We had a Magnum home but there is no 3rd row and the battery is in the back with the spare tire. I liked the spare tire inside the car, much better, no need to Beat the poop out of the car to get it to drop down when changing your tire at the side of an abandon road. For some reason I gravitate to dodge, I don't know why, I didn't grow up in a dodge home, I grew up in a GM home.

Ford didn't show up but I hear from the Headless mom's that they've done some work on their cars and their assembly. There is a huge ford Dealership here so I may take the boys for a drive. Field Trip?

When I was on the island I found it very useful for 2 adults and 4 kids to travel. TJ got to keep the youngest child company and was the most helpful for that. Maybe I should just add more kids so I have to have a bigger car?

It got quiet here? wow they all have their noses stuck in a book? Maybe they are all ready for school to start? hehe hhaha YAY~!


Today i'm removing tape from the painting that was done on the weekend. I love how well "let's paint" worked. I did 3/20 pieces of chair rail and 1 foot long of baseboard.


Words I'd like removed from my kids vocabulary... stupid, idiot, and moron!

oh and what kind of critter is this?



found this in google. This is not a daddy Long Legs, I'm still stumped!

Is that a daddy long legs?

The parasite alert at the beach is kinda freaky. That doesn't make me want to get in at all.

Is it just me that keeps getting a Twitter API pop up box sign in whenever I visit your blog? It's been there for about a month or so and I just ignore it but it seems odd.

omg - school starts THAT late. some schools start tomorrow here. I totally think you should drag all your kids on test drives. it would get rid of the salesmen way quicker!

Jealous of the beach, NOT jealous of the spider!

Suzy said...

I totally agree ~~~~ when they are throwing around "Parasite Alerts", we just don't go to the beach. Thanks but no thanks.

The leaves are juuuust beginning to turn a little red on a few trees around here. I say, come on summer! Hang in there a little bit longer!

28 days can go by so fast when you do not want it to or too slow when you don't want it to.
Have a Wonderful Tuesday!

I'm hoping a good cold night will fix the parasite problem, and then get warm enough again to go back to the beach! Or another beach.

The Twitter is now gone

I've got THIRTEEN sleeps till mine go back to school!!!

Sprite's Keeper said...

We have a dodge caravan. Love it, the space, and the spare is right under the front row. It's actually pretty easy to get it out, the screw is inside the vehicle! John says it's easy and he's the one who changes it so I believe him!

Casey said...

It's probably a daddy medium legs. You guys still have a ways to go for school to start, I keep forgetting that you get out later than we do. I wish it would cool off here at night, it's still hot as balls outside (balls are usually 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

Oh, and I'm "officially" representing Keely today...consider her represented.

You may have to solve the no kids at home? As in, have another kid?!
