Father's Day Meme! TAG!

Thursday Evening, I was sitting here all reading along and went over to visit Karen over at If I could Escape. (I know she understands me, she's got boys too!) She has started a Father's Day Meme and asked me to join along. I'm starting this typed up tonight but I'll get MJ's answer in the morning and update.

1. What does Daddy wear for work?  a jacket, glasses, that's it? oh Shoes, what kind of shoes? His Shoes.
2. Where does Daddy work?In the Orange Place
3. What’s Daddy’s job? WORK, Computers?
4. What does Daddy do at work?  computers
5. What does Daddy do at lunch?eat at work, what? Anything. (good point)

Hubbie works in IT, I call him my "personal IT guy" but really? he does a lot of everything for a lot of people with a Company here in town. I'm not sure just how much "info" I'm allowed to reveal. (snicker) He's that guy that everyone goes to when everything goes "crazy" and they say "Fix it" but he doesn't seem to get the gifts that I remember he used to get? Some of these guys did help put up our roof last Spring, so maybe that's the Thank You?

Now to pick 7 bloggers to do this meme?
Ann from AnnAgain
Mary over at A Simple Twist of Faith
Bex over at Adventures of The Griggs Boys
Casey, over at Half as Good as You.
Harmzie over at HarmziesWay <--2months? come on.. :p
Kooky, over at Hi Kooky
Lizzie over at Infectious Chatter

Happy Friday. 

That ww update, incase someone was wondering?

And I write this for me really, and to make it all accountable and Written!! I forked over my 15.00, jumped on the scale and got me a High 5!~!! from my scale checker. Yep! she got her lifetime status the same time I did 7yrs ago in Dec2003. So she knows me. hehe I'm so glad she's still there really. There are about 4-5 people in the meeting too that have been there since then as well. They come they go they come they go, we all do the same. Life gets in the way. I'm planning for this to be a GO GO GO for me, and stick with it. I'm not getting younger and I'm convinced I will continue to learn as I continue to go to these meetings as well as while I age.  Everything changes and I'll have to change with it.


Oh you wanted to know the results?  3.2lbs loss! for the week, bringing me to a total of 10.6lbs loss. That also got me 2 pretty 5lb stickers, anddddddd my 5% loss sticker, yes I know you can now do the math and find out where I was but know this, that's 5% + a bit more total loss.  So next stop? get my way to 10% loss! So in 4wks I've lost 10.6lbs! doing what I should have been doing all this time and writing every bite.

OK back to your regular Thursdays with all of you...


Oh on the way out, I bought my MJ a candy tomato plant, it's for "cherry/tiny" tomatos. We'll see how it goes. I even bolted it into his carseat to drive it home. It's just a baby plant!
 Since Ann linked me in to Linky! I'll add her badge too :)

Random Tuesday, it's all about ME being the Aunt

Welcome To Tuesday, go on click the button, go get one and link up to Keely's. 

Remember yesterday when I said I will never understand boys? well Boys they are Boys! My 5yrold just ran up to me hopped up on my leg with his butt in the air and FARtED!  BOY!!! I will never escape being a Mom of boys!  I Blame their Father! and the Reading of Captain Underpants (novels).

Another Boy thing just now "Mom Where's my pig?" huh~ oh piggy bank? Why? theres nothing to put in it. 


My Sister had a Baby Boy Sunday! YAY! She now has 2 boys, hehe My younger Sister says "My Rugby Team of Nephews is coming along nicely" I just laughed!

Little WDW looks exactly like his older brother, from the pictures I've seen. Poor me the Aunt, the important Aunt (not the younger sister and her dreams for Rugby domination) is not going to get to meet him until the Summer, when I again try my hand at single Parenting in the back woods of the Island.


Oh but with a bunch of boys around, maybe they should all learn to change tires? Yes I think this will be the summer or Tire Changing lessons.


My Niece is probably going to be the most excited,she's the reigning princess. She'll stay the princess! HaHA! !!

WDW didn't have a name Sunday, but now does, No they didn't name him Walt Disney World. Tempting though isn't it? 


It's raining again today. TJ is home "sick" Hubbie went to wake him for School this morning but he was coughing up a storm. I suspect he'll have Hubbie's sleeping problems. Apnea sucks!


Yesterday in Critter Counting, we were counting birds. Last Saturday we saw a Woodpecker, so I went off looking up pictures. It turns out there is 1 that is extinct and wow this guy looks like him. I'll have to invest hop off to the $ store for binoculars.

MJ is addicted to NickJr games online. He's singing the songs without the page being booted up! Right now he's trying to crack my pass word on my laptop.

You know if I died or got hit by a bus today/tomorrow any day? What would be out there in internet space without passwords? What would show up? Would anyone be here reading? Oh yes the Zombies as noted by Keely would.


So we're at the end of the grocery run here, I've got to get more tomorrow. Yesterday, the boys were due home, they are always hungry, so I made cinnamon buns. 3 boys from 5-10yrs old, ate 9/12 buns, I managed to barely save one for hubbie. Where does it go? oh then i found their school lunches from yesterday, sandwiches still in the bag. ugh!


Burn is almost back to regular color, just 4 pinker then usual and stripey. Is Stripey a word? wait spell check on Firefox says... Firefox is wrong.... and Stripey is  stripy... okay now we know. It also doesn't like ok, OK is fine and Ok is not, and okay is great. oh boy.

Darn it Boys again! will I ever escape Boys? oh but the cat is girly, she's lazing on the bed waiting for someone to come pet her, that's my girl!

(Behave)


Been reading that The Tales of the Beedle The Bard. (spin off from Harry Potter?) and it's borrrrrrrrrrring, no wonder it was only 94cents!

yawn, even I'm yawning... I guess I should just stop typing. It's been 2 days in a row, maybe I can pull off a post tomorrow too?  BTW did you know that it's a short week? Thursday AND Friday off! what happened to school?

Words from MJ,my MJ not that other dead guy.

So the older boys are away at Daycamp this week. (cue the chorus) They have having a great time. They love it. I think these boys would actually enjoy daycare if I was out working and making enough money to pay for MORE then daycare, but here? no I've not worked 'outside the home' for 11yrs now, its' hard to go back. VERY hard.

Today I've got my favorite part of being home with the boys, I get to listen to what's on their minds and hear what they are thinking. I asked MJ what he wanted to bring to the cottage to eat.

"what do you want to eat at the cottage?, what should we bring with us?"

MJ:"Cereal"

Me: "OK what kind?"

MJ:"Honey Nut" note he didn't say the name of the stick figured hiker or the Bee cereal because we buy store brand, they are trained well the don't know the name of the real stuff, LOL

Me: OK so we'll bring a box of that, what else?

MJ "Hot Dogs?"

Me OK, yes they have a BBQ there we can do hotdogs,

MJ " Do they have a George at the cottage?"

Me : no honey no George,

"ohhhhh" Low disappointed voice. So it's not just me that likes my hotdogs sans previously cooked food off the BBQ, he love that George Foreman Grill as much as I do. I had to laugh though, the way he said OK well now it's not as cute as it sounded when he said it when it's all written out.

on to the more amusing.

sing songy voice "I'm walking on nothing" tiptoeing across the livingroom.
Still singing with hands in bunny position "I'm jumping on nothinggggggg"

We canceled cable about 13months ago, we have No TV here, we used to get some antenna stations but since all the stations went digital we can't even get the CBC. I guess there will be no Hockey Night in Canada this fall. There have been some pluses, he's got a lot more imagination and I can see that MJ is using his own imagination for make believe play more then the older two. We have DVDs and the Wii and they do suck up a bit of time here and there so I can make a few meals, but right now the only extra sound in the house is the hum of my CPU tower (yeah I'm married to a tech, I don't get "new" stuff, I get "I can fix it" and "oh I'll just modify it" but the wait? oh the wait),and MJ making car noises and little conversations for his imaginary people in the cars. It's quite the story. Today they are all lined up waiting to get on the train. They all seem to be going on vacation and one guy is going to pick up his boat but his trailer is hauling a car that he hopes to trade in for the boat? (seems like a great deal to me, I want to live in his economy) There is now talk of the beach and the cars thinking the train will take them to the beach. It sounds like it's possible as I would think the boat would be easier to pick up at a waterfront sight at the end of the journey. I wonder if this train carries cars like a ferry?

(insert waiting for the camera to charge for uploading picture)





This reminds me we finally got our cuccumbers planted in the box that I built with MJ for his seedlings.



I'll post that picture too. He's very proud of the box because he got to use the cordless screw driver(I held it steady) and to fill the box up with dirt.



! We he has have blossoms now! poor seedlings are tiny still though. It's raining so he's told me he doesn't have to water them today.
