I feel......................

Restless, whiny, bored, cranky and sleepy. I think old aunt flo is on her way to visit me. I've got to think of things to perk me up. I think I'll have Parker help cook dinner. Play some play-dough with both kids. Read some in my book. I don't know what else. I had a really good morning. Bobby decided to get up with the kids. He even gave Parker a bath first thing. That was so nice. Then he cooked breakfast for us. Talk about winning some points. I told him it was my day to get up with the kids but he said he was already awake. Lucky me! I need to go get a dirty shirt out of the dryer. Parker spilled his drink on it and then said it needed to go in the dryer. I told him to put it in the laundry basket. Next thing I hear is the dryer door opening and closing, lol. What a silly guy!

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!

Parker just ate some golfish crackers! A new kind at that! I am so excited! He is holding the bag and eating them like there is no tomorrow! I cheered and clapped! I am also so thankful to God that he may be adding a new food to his small list! Yay!

New background!

I just love it! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

A scary site to Parker....

Today he is going to a dairy farm with his class. He is terrified of farm animal noises. He likes to be in control of noises and of course you can't control an animals noises. Last year he was happy to go but was scared to death once the baby cows started mooing. He was fine with the quiet dairy cows being milked, but once those babies thought it was time to eat, he wanted out of there. There was nothing I could do to comfort him. We couldn't really leave so we just had to walk around and try and get away from the noises. His teacher thinks he will do better this time because he is excited about it and because I won't be there. She thinks he has more anxiety when I'm around, because I'm his mom. She said she would call me when they got back to the class and let me know how he did. I'm betting that he plugged his ears the whole time and wanted to leave. We shall see. I'll let you guys know.

Don't talk about this much....

Molly has mild ocd. It comes and goes in different forms. The form it comes in quite a bit is a germ or getting sick phobia. With the new tomato issues, she has been really worrying about certain foods. She didn't want to get ketchup or taco sauce yesterday. I told her that we'd had the stuff for a while so it was fine. I guess I might need to look it up on FDA website to reassure her. When her episodes come, they are big and last a couple weeks. One time she washed her hands so much they were raw and red. We got through that and I feel like it's something in the past. I just don't want this tomato thing to bring up old issues.

On a lighter note, I got up early again today. Didn't get a lot done but at least started the laundry, read the bible and picked up the living-room. Bobby stayed home from work today because he had a flat tire. It's always nice when he's home. I hope everyone has a great day!

Molly tried out for our county's talent contest...

She did it last year and this year she got in again. I'm so proud of my little girl!

They don't have a ton of people in it, maybe 15, but it's so much fun for her. Last year she got an award and roses. She didn't win, but really, it's how many people you bring with you. The audience votes. This year she is doing, "What time is it?" From "High School Musical 2". She even uses a basketball in part of it. It's nothing fancy, but it's cute. It's not going to be until Aug 9th. They have a great dinner before it too. Where did I get such an outgoing girl? She is the total opposite of me. The pic above was from before she left today. My niece did her hair and taught her some dance moves. She is so nice to Molly. I want to do something nice for her.

The other rooms in the house

I decided to take a pic of the kids rooms to share. I typed over a pic of Mollys because she had shorts on and she looked like she was posing. You don't know what weirdo's are reading your blog so I didn't want to leave the picture like it was. The kids rooms look nice but they still need to be decluttered. They have waaaaaaay too much stuff. Heck, you should see their closets!

Here is Mollys room:
Her bed has a slide but we took it off for a while.









Here is Parker's room.







I couldn't take the best pics because their rooms are small and it was hard to get a good angle. Thanks for looking.

Morning to myself...

I got up a little after 6 this morning. I got dressed, made the bed, and did some laundry. Then I sat down and read the bible for a while. I even memorized a bible verse. I said an uninterrupted prayer and had some time alone. I'm proud of myself because I went to bed early and made the choice to get up early. Usually I sleep in until 7 or 7:30, depending on when Parker wakes up. I even had time to read Parker a book and sit and cuddle with him. It felt really nice. It's 8:40 now, the house looks nice, aside from some vacuuming and sweeping, and Molly is still sleeping. I can tell it's going to be another hot one today. I hope we can keep the house cooler. Last night at 10:00 both kids still couldn't sleep so we stood outside in the backyard for a while. Turns out Parker didn't like Molly's door open and t.v. on and Molly was hot. I wiped down Parker's hair, shut Molly's door, sprayed her with water and turned off her t.v.. They both went right to sleep. Luckily it had cooled down by then some. It was cooler than last night, at least a little. Here's hoping today is cooler. Everyone have a great day!
