Kasey and Log on the job

Here's Kasey today waiting at her "post". This is also a picture of the bus loop where the buses go thru first, then the parents in cars to pick up their children. She opens the door for the children and tells the parent to "have a nice day!". Then she closes the car door. In the morning she patrols in the first grade hallway before the kids go into their classroom. She comes home and talks all about how she plays games with them to keep them quiet. Like the quiet game and heads up-7up. Which I remember the name of but have no recollection how to play! The good ol' days.

Lesson learned

We're sitting watching a movie on TNT" what women want", with Mel Gibson, when he hears womens thoughts...anyway...in the movie to get this gift, he accidently electrocutes himself in the bathtub. OK...commercial break
Erin says..."so that means you can't get the hairdryer wet?"?!!?!
me...Erin? You didn't know that? Have I never taught you that??!!
Erin...No.
me....Kasey, Do you know that?
Kasey....Yes.
me....Did I teach you that?
Kasey...No. I saw it on the tag on the hairdryer.
Good Lord....What kind of Mother am I ????
Then I proceeded to apologize to my 10 and 7 year old for not teaching them NOT to put anything electrical near the water. Jesus... How would they KNOW if I didn't TEACH them that!?!?!?!?
OK...I still have at least the next 10 years to raise them...I'll try not to screw it up : )

bowling last night

Took the girls bowling last night....

big baby

this is my 105lb dog hiding under the desk because it's thundering outside.

and his baby brother wondering what the hell the big deal is.....

Seriously

My Husband just asked me if he touched the oven racks with metal tongs.....would he get shocked?!?!?! Yeah.....Seriously!!!

Fay...such crap...but I'm getting stuff done!!!

We are stuck home AGAIN this week...school cancelled twice for Fay and it's barely drizzling here. We got the call last night at 9:30pm that school was closed for today.

My house is so clean you can lick the floors...wipe your fingers across my picture frames and I dare you to find a speck of dust. All the wash is done, folded and put away and hung. I even emptied out and organized the "bins" upstairs that hold all the girls crap....Polly pocket dresses, Barbie shoes, wallets, scrabble pieces, doll clothes, pens, lip gloss, flash cards, clips, barrettes...you name it...it's now in it's proper home. Yesterday I matched up ALL the socks. Erin and I took out all the puzzles and started putting them together so I could donate the ones that actually HAVE all the puzzle pieces.

The girls have been upstairs for 2 hours alone and I'm seriously afraid to go up there...I'll cry if they've messed it all up again.

While it's all perfect, and I will give her credit....Since Kasey got her new furniture about 2 weeks ago and I layed down the ground rules...no eating, no drawing on, no nail polish, no stickers..her room has been kept clean. So here's a picture of it.

Maybe next week I'll start making Kasey's cornice board for her window. I bought burlap about 2 years ago to finish the room and now that we finally have the perfect furniture...I'd better get to it!.
