Jacob and Rileigh are SOOOO Different!

With the beautiful weather today, I had the windows down, the sunroof open, and Zac Brown Band playing on the radio....wahoooo!!! Rileigh has her hands in the air and says "Mom, this is AWESOME, it's like a roller coaster"...........Jacob on the other hand has his hands over his eyes and says "can you at least roll up my window!?!?!"

"Mommy, how does a baby get into your belly?"

Well..........Rileigh..........ummm....let's see........ummmmmm, well.....when an adult girl and an adult boy fall in love and get married they have so much love for each other that their love makes a baby grow.....And with that she walked away....but then she came back to ask "mom, why did you grow 2 kids? and ms. Alisa growed 4 and pop pop Marks mom grew at least 3....and at this moment she is sitting there staring at me......yup...still there....still there...shew she finally left! So, there you have it....love grows babies! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

The thing about having 2 children.........

is that when you want them to share they WON'T, but when you don't want them to share they DO! Rileigh now has the funk that Jacob had last week :( Jacob is back to his normal self, so hopefully Rileigh will bounce back just as quickly.

On another note, we've got Rileigh all signed up for soccer for this fall. She has been the one asking for it forever and this is the first year that she's old enough. However she will be 'double dipping'. Soccer is late Aug-Oct and dance will be late Sept-May......and Jacob will probably be doing fall baseball. Holy Moly! We do enjoy the sports, so while it will be crazy, we love it! Sign ups for sports always sneak up on me. You have to be a planner, the cut off for soccer sign ups is June 15th for the fall, dance will have sign ups in July for Sept and at this point I don't know when baseball is........summer camp sign ups start in February for some....it's crazy!

lemon # 233 or something like that

We got up on a nice relaxing Saturday morning, watched Gnomeo & Juliet, then decided to go for a swim before showers. They had fun in the pool for about 2 hours then we headed in for showers.....Jacob done, now Rileigh...just as we were finishing up her hair I noticed a big black BUG!!!! RILEIGH STAND UP!!! finished rinsing her got her out and let the BUG go DOWN THE DRAIN!!! GROSS!! So, the worst part is that when I was combing her hair, there was a trace of blood in her ear canal..........OMG do you think that BUG was in her ear biting her??!!! Simply GROSS!!

Now let's see what the rest of the day has to bring!

I'm Back!

Besides keeping my wonderful family and friends up to date......the purpose of this blog was to help me remember life's little moments or the lemons that life throws my way. So with that said, I am going to do my best to post something each week or more often...depending on the amount of lemons that are delivered to my door. I just hope that if the house fills with lemons someone might visit me with a BIG bottle of vodka to enjoy those lemons with me!


The lemon of the day was needing to pick up Jacob from school :( Rileigh had been looking forward to having a friend over to go swimming for a week! So, they finally get here right on time, but if I had to hear when are they getting here one more time.....well you know. We were swimming and my cell phone rings and it was the school telling me that Jacob had a slight fever and needed to be picked up. All I could think was 'damn, Rileigh is going to cry like a baby when I tell her I have to go', but THANKFULLY the mother of her friend could see my panic and offered to stay and watch them while I picked up Jacob. THANK YOU!!! So, I brought Jacob home got him set up with a sprite and the baseball game and went back out to the pool for just a little while and finished the playdate. After they left, we went to patient first and he had a fever of 102.9 and a slight ear infection....but no one can explain why he keeps complaining about a belly ache. Target for medicine and home to cook some quick dinner, put away the groceries that I bought at target to save myself a trip tomorrow and now finally crash. I did let Jacob ride in the cart at target and wow is he getting big!! It was a chore to get him in, push him, and a chore to get his 61 lbs 4'3" self out of the cart!

Too Funny

Today while Jacob was at camp, I let Rileigh play with Jacob's trucks and cars that he left out in his room...........well boy oh boy was he MADDDDD!! He said a whole lot, like Mom I can't believe you let her do this..blah blah blah...but the funny one was to Rileigh "I'm so mad I could eat you" Rileigh's response "Jacob, you know you won't be hungry until it's dinner time". I had to leave the room!

Another Repair!!!

I don't think I'll ever get a new kitchen! The well pump went kaput!! $1,700.00 and the nice man in the wife beater t-shirt said "you won't want to take a shower or wash clothes here for a few days............about all you'll want to do with the water is flush the commode"........Well, Thanks!! Hope to NOT see you for another 10 years!
