Thank Yous and Friday Fill-ins

Today I'm posting in a HUGE thank you to my Hubbie. He worked hard, he swore loud, he sliced his finger, and yes yes yes I now have my desktop working again. There will be rewards. I'll bake. Speaking of Baking.

AJ and I did our baking on Tuesday night for his project. The cookies turned out wonderful, we ate the the extra 27. The whole batch made 57 cookies. I'm sure I could have got the other 3 if I had been helped less in the Shaping department but many times I had to remind myself that this was not my project. I'm not being graded, AJ will be. What's funny about all this? at his age? or if it had been my project, I would have just done enough to get by. I likes to do that too, very much my child?

Today MJ is watching a DVD again, that I won! yes I won something, I won a DVD set of Charlie Brown's Christmas. I was expecting 1 disc, there were 3 in my Mail box. I'd like to thank Chez Rougie for these lovely DVD's. She's a great read. Right now we're working our way through The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Great classics!!! Thank you again Rougeneck, now I've got lots of blogging time today, MJ will be sucked in for atleast an hour. I can type/read/post a lot in an hour.

I'll also add in some Friday Fill-ins! seems I missed last Friday's? I remember doing the Beatles the week before, so here we go last weeks? Fill-ins This friday.



1. The lesson I learned yesterday was ___even if you the mom are working hard on a project, you can only achieve as much as the child is willing to put into it for his own grade. Mom isn't being graded, really__________.
2. __The island, over Christmas vacation is was_______ where friends and family meet. (Great Time BTW)
3. All these years _are shorter then I ever thought "all these years" would be? it's true, wasn't I just 19 and meeting my hubbie. The time goes fast________.
4. ___The kitchen was a disastor__________ when I arrived.
5. The truth is __I made the mess in the kitchen, walked away and had to go back____________.
6. __He wore Triple Dark Stone washed jeans, a purple labatts T-shirt and flowing locks of blonde hair ______ is what I remember most from that day.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _having my 3 boys home without homework____, tomorrow my plans include _convincing everyone after bowling and lunch that we should go outdoor skating, I will of course had to find the skates for all and see if they fit, if not it may include a trip to the second hand stores. Maybe there will be more drop offs as people look for more things to sell off so they can send money vs stuffs to Haiti____ and Sunday, I want to _get to my priorities set up. FB doesn't do mass, no there isn't an application or game for that____!

Random Tuesday Thoughts, death off a desktop?

Tuesday is here again and you know the drill go see Keely she'll get you an official badge and you can plop that on your blog and get to spewing forth your random stuffs.

This week my computer shut itself off. Yep typing away/clicking away at my silly FB games annd suddenly? I wasn't. I may or may not be diagnosed as death by dust. So that really meants it's time ot clean the back of my CPU more and uh dust my livingroom.

We took the boys sliding this weekend. It's a rerun really of last year,  accept the people that were at the hill were walking up the slide path and sliding down the walk way? uh yeah okayyyyyyyy...

I took MJ off for a walk after he got frustrated that his sled wasn't going fast enough. Any faster and he'd seriously need that bike helmet i had tied to his head. What? don't even ask me why the older two didn't have their helmets on? The baby is the last genetic chance I've got for world domination.. I mean he's my baby!

It was nice enough


DAMN  touch mouse, damn you, it almost deleted all those paragraphs. Thanks be to keyboards for the undo buttons.

Yes the weather was nice enough sunday, I didn't really need to wear the longjohns, pants and skipants. I wonder if anyone would have noticed if I skipped the pants? and just the skipants? Hubbie tried to killhimself I'm sure and went over one bump so hard he stopped to by meds and a hot water bottle on the way home. oops~!

Tea is done. brb

Ok, now it's morning, ok so maybe it's noon, I did some important things. I did over 1hour on the wiifit plus lastnight. I also did research on our clan for AJ's homework. Anyone have a good clip of anyone doing the Highland Fling? or perhaps some Scottish Step dancing? anyone??????//
come on help a mom kid out?

So far we are baking scottish shortbread cause I didn't want to squick the kids in his class out with Haggis and I think they might turn their noses up to porridge or oatcakes? I know I didn't like them.

TJ? and homework are having a big falling out. I blame last year's no homework policy. He goes down there to his bedroom and I sayy do your MMR,  music, Math and Reading? I didn't even hear the drums this week? He also has this "I'm too good to have to practice"' attitude? What???? oh wait I may have had that attitude too whe I was the same age? Maybe that's why I can't go and do the Highland Fling on Youtube for AJ's project submission. Bend and stretch up..... CUT!!!!!!

So TJ's bedroom? still a flurry of crap, his bathroom? ACK! and his homework? crazy. Today he has judo, seems he can finally remember his Gee? (sp?)

OK sorry this turned into Random Tuesday complaints, but well it's been a MOM kind of week.

BTW has anyone seen my bedroom floor. What do yo mean he learns by example?
