Off Thursday

I really look forward to my "off" Thursdays and having a little me time.

I dragged myself out of bed a little after 7 before the kids were wake.

I walked down the stairs and laid back down on the couch with a snuggy.

Not even a minute later Jordan came stumbling down the stairs.

He walked around the corner with tired little eyes and his blanket.

I asked if he wanted to watch a show.

I put one on for him and fell back asleep.

That one ended.

He asked about breakfast I said I would get him something at 8.

I was not ready to be awake yet. 

I just wanted a little bit more sleep.

I started another show and sorta dozed off.

That show ended to quickly but I dragged myself up and got him breakfast.

His favorite thing these days cereal.

I like that when he has cheerios he lets me add some banana slices to it.

I started my coffee.

Headed upstairs to get ready for the day.

Jordan finished came upstairs to to hang out with Josh and I.

Michelle got herself ready for school and then practiced people.

I drove Jordan to preschool today.

Then headed to Little Red Wagon to drop off a box of clothes and browse.

  

Then headed into Bellingham to Wal-mart.

I needed snacks for my trip, quick & easy food for the family while I am gone, 

and a few household items.

I ended up with more things then on my list but that happens every time I go to any store.

I even got brave and snapped a few pictures when I thought no one was around.

Of course as soon as I was taking these a lady was behind probably wondering  why 

I was taking pictures of my cart.

Oh well....

probably never see her again.

I didn't have the drive to shop anymore after that so headed home.

I unpacked everything.

My beach bag for trip is a little full.

I haven't even put my lap top or books in there yet.

May have to lose some snacks.

I just wanted to be prepared because I get very agitated when I am hungry.

I am not pleasant to be around and it happens fast.

You can ask Josh.

{I was just saying I needed a beach bag for trip and that night I won this one at Bunco!}

In other exciting news from my day my new battery for my laptop came!

My current one doesn't even last a good 20 minutes before it needs to get plugged in again.

That is not going to help me on a 6 hour flight.

My new battery should last 5 to 8 hours!

Yeah!

  

I decided I should dye my hair today.

One I had free time with no interruptions.

Two I wanted any dye I got on my arms, ears, and forehead to be gone by the time I left.

I always manage to get it everywhere.

I still working on my self portraits.

After all that I went to the store.

Cereal, hamburger helper, rice, pasta, and eggo waffles were on sale so I stalked up for when I was gone.

Trying to make it easy for Josh who doesn't normally do breakfast or dinner for the kids.

He usually just gets himself up and out the door.

Now he is going to have to get the kids ready too.

Should be interesting.

I try not to think about it or I stress.

I am used to do everything and it feels weird for to know I won't be there to do it.

I worry that he won't do the way I do it ect.

I am sure it will be fine.

I am writing everything out for him.

Step by Step.

Probably at little over the top but it makes me feel better.

Anyhoo.....

After the store I picked up Michelle to take her with me to get Jordan.

My brother is home visiting from college for a few days.

I tried to get some pictures of them but John is no help in that department.

He is a big kid himself.

 

 

Jordan and John played a few games of Mario Kart before we headed out.

 I asked him to smile and look like he was having fun!

Looks like fun to me....sorta.

 

When we were hugging goodbye Michelle made the great suggestion that he pick me up.

Ummmm....NO!

So of course I had to run away from him.

I tried curling up in a ball in the corner but that didn't work.

He sat on me and tickled me.

I DO NOT like to be tickled.

I hate it.

You laugh uncontrollably even though you are being tortured.

People don't listen when you are yelling stop and laughing at the same time.

My mom finally got him off of me.

Oh....John......

Got home put groceries away.

Ate leftovers.

Watched American Idol.

Put kiddos to bed.

Picked up & vacuumed.

Watched a show with popcorn.

Went to shake my drink thinking the lid was on and soaked myself, the couch, and floor in Vitamin Water.

Cleaned that up.

Finished show.

And now I am finishing this post.

Good Night!
