- I'm so ready for Doug to be home.
- Last night at 11:30, I was chasing sleds down the street due to the ridiculously strong winds we had. They blew out from under the deck where they are stored.
- I'm sure my neighbors appreciated the woman in her pajama pants and son's snow boots running frantically trying to catch sleds. I know it was an exceptionally graceful show!
- My 11 year old sons boots are too big for me.
- I can't wait for Doug to come home.
- I bribed my kids today with a movie and sleeping in Mom's bed in order to get extra chores done today without complaints.
- I'm not ashamed ... you know you bribe your kids too. Don't judge!
- Adyson announced that her favorite chore is dusting.
- I would never want to be accused of not allowing my child to do their favorite chore. Adyson is now crowned "Queen of the Dust"! :)
- I can't wait for Doug to come home.
- Adyson: "Mom, my manners are stuck in my head so good." Me (out loud): "Good for you. I noticed that." Me (thinking to myself): "It's about time. It only took 7 1/2 years."
- Today Benjamin went from loving me and saying I was the best mom in the world, to telling me I was mean and not fair, to loving me all in a time frame of about 15 minutes.
- Joy ... teen years are just around the corner. Uggghhh ...
- I'm not sure of my current parenting status with Benjamin. Am I still cool and the best or have I fallen out of good graces again?? I'm so confused.
- I can't wait for Doug to come home.
- Benjamin got a new game at AWANA on Wednesday. Apparently, I'm not smart enough to figure out how to play it. Has anyone ever played Othello? I don't understand the strategy.
- I made my favorite smoked chicken alfredo pizza today with a homemade honey wheat crust. YUMMMMY! It's Friday night food.
- I'm so ready for Doug to be home.
- Benjamin just informed me it is no longer a cool treat to sleep in Mom's bed. He's moving to his own bed after the movie. (sigh ... there's that growing up thing again ...)
- Adyson, on the other hand, is pumped to get to sleep with Mom!
- Something tells me I should have borrowed someones football pads to sleep with Adyson. She's dangerous! :)
- Have I mentioned that I'm so ready for Doug to be home?

You are awesome, and you are correct, I do bribe my child now and again! LOL
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, Doug is just as ready to be home.
I cannot imagine having my husband gone as much as yours has been over the past several months...but on the plus side next time you go with him!
ReplyDeleteMan, I can so identify!! I wanted to leave a bowl of cheerios on the floor for the girls then lock myself in a room when I got the stomach bug while Phillip was gone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement that it gets easier when the kids get older...
Hey Dana! It's Jennifer from Pampa! We have a blog too!! Love yours...are you ready for Doug to be home?? :)
ReplyDeleteWe had an Othello game when the kids were little but I don't remember any thing about it. Are you ready for Doug to come home!:)
ReplyDeleteI love Othello! Spencer and I played it when we were little. I am trying to remember how that tricky little game is played... hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog. I can so TOTALLY here you laughing while doing every one of those things... from chasing sleds, to wrangling kiddos during a church remodeling, to crowning little Ady "queen of the dust." It makes me smile to think of you as a mom.
