Blog Vacation!

Posted at 6:13 PM on Jul. 1, 2008

free glitter text and family website at FamilyLobby.com

hee hee hee!!! I wish!!!

Actually, I'm just going on a SHORT blog vacation. I hope to be back on July 9th for Wordless and Weblink Wednesday, but if I'm not I will definitely be back on July 11th for Friday Show and Tell. I figured with Hubby having a 4 day weekend, many of my friends on vacation, and the holidays, it was a good time to take a break. I have a lot to do to catch up on.

Here is a sampling of what needs to be done:
1. I'm working on making a spelling book and math workbook for Little One.
2. My school room needs some reorganization.
3. I need to work with Little One on some school stuff.
4. I have blood work this week.

For the 4th we are just spending time as a family and hoping to go to fireworks if it does not storm. Hubby is wanting to make homemade ice cream and grill out.

I plan to pop in and out on my blog some so feel free to leave a comment (hint hint!) or a blurb in my chat box (hint hint!!!!). I also hope to get around to a few blogs so I don't get too far behind.

So while I would love to be doing this

I guess I will be doing this

. lol!!!

Hello! I hope everyone had a good weekend! Monday is my Wedding Anniversary!!! Yay!!! We will probably go out to eat tonight with LO and then go out on a date in a few weeks. PC came over on Saturday and it was very good again. PC and LO spent time together and that was really important to me. LO was crying on Friday because he missed his brother. He was in PC's room playing and then suddenly he burst into tears. It was really heart wrenching to see. Part of Saturday PC was playing on LO's computer a Lego game and LO sitting by him watching, but they were happy and getting a long and that's what matters. Then they had a water gun fight with some of the neighbor kids and they were soaked!!! PC had wore some old sneakers here and they were soaked and unfortunately he had an open sore on his ankle. So I didn't want him wearing his shoes back to the grandparent's wet, so he wore my clogs there. lol!!! The scary part is thinking about his foot being about as big as mine (I wear an 8- 8 1/2 size). Sunday was pretty slow for us. I did get some grocery shopping done. LO went out to play with his friends, but he seemed to be having a bad day. One of his friends actually told him he needed a nap!!! lol!!!

Hello! I hope everyone had a good weekend! PC came over on Saturday and it was really great. None of the kids in the neighborhood were home so PC and Little One played together for awhile. I was so thankful for this. Little One has really been missing playing with PC, so I was glad he got the opportunity. Sunday was pretty slow for us.
