Morning Madness

Why is it that as the bus is pulling into the drive thats when someone says " I cant find my mitten" ? Like you didn't notice you were short one when you were standing at the window for 10 minutes waiting on the bus?? And of course, the other mitts offered arn't as good as the missing one, so you send a blubbering child out to the bus. Seems that happens here often, and this morning was no exception. It isn't like they don't have a special place to put there stuff. Each child has a hook by the door, under each hook is a basket. This basket is "supposed" to be for mitts, toques, scarves, all the necessities of a Manitoba Winter. Do things make it there? Of course not, well apperantly half of the things make it there. It isn't like the basket is hidden in the darkest corner of the basement, it is in plain site. Makes me wonder if Clay is really the only one that should be wearing glasses LOL

Just as my kids were a little slow on the uptake today, so were the dogs. I swear, they are out to get me. walking out of the laundry room with a load of clothes, and true to Frank form, he tried to trip me. He thinks he is a cat, winding in and out of my legs. After I got my composure from almost having my neck broke, I noticed that Ozzy was chewing Rachaels pencil under the table. I crawled under there to take it away....he growled at me. Hmmm little pint sized dog thinks he is a rotweiller. Not happening bud, Im Alpha around here LOL

As I mentioned earlier, Clayton now has glasses. They sure change his look. More and more like his dad everyday...poor kid. He got them Friday, this is Wednesday. So far I have found them, in his backpack, under the couch, in the fridge, in the microwave, on the dog food pail, and beside the wood pile. He says he likes wearing them.....but apperantly they need to be cooked and cooled first. Hopefully he gets used to them soon, I'm scared of where I will find them next.

Jhordan and I took a trip with Dad Shannon today. We went to Deloraine to see Mom. She has moved to the home there. She seems to be settling in alright, she says she isn't, but thats expected. There is a resident cat there and Mom enjoys playing with her. Mom and Jhordan were fighting with the kitty today, it was a good laugh. Kitty is declawed, but as Mom and Jhordan found out, she still has teeth.....sharp ones LOL. I took a set of family pictures down to Mom. When she was looking at them, she stared at a picture of Matt and Rachael for a few minutes, then said "funny looking bugger ain't he?" I laughed and said a face only a mother could love.....she replied with " Well I don't know about that" LOL. I guess I'm not the only one that thinks he is goofy looking. Thats my Mother in law for ya, always good for a giggle.

Well I think that is all for me tonight. Time to read to the kids and put them to bed. I hope all is well with you and yours. Have a great night wherever you are.
