not much

Not much going on here.I have been sick ,hacking up a lung or two .Yes i am taking my medicine .Still sounding like i have been smoking for my whole life . J has had a runny stuffy nose too but it seems to go away with allergy medicine .So i think it is all these lovely ozone days we have been having.CJ has been fine so far we stay inside in the afternoon and go ride bikes in the morning and then in the late evening after dinner . They have been taking swim lessons ,going to movies and the library with the day care kids .we have just been keeping busy .Yes i have been the mean mommy and made them do school work every day . I just keep seeing that Sylvan commercial over and over in my head ,about them loosing 2 months worth of information over the summer . J is done with track it was too hot.It was from 6-8 monday -thurs and between me being sick him getting sunburn and the heat it was a pain to get him to go .He was sad at first ,he wanted daddy to bring an umbrella and keep him in the shade all the time,because he really liked it.When that was not going to happen then he didn't want to go .
CJ starts golf in July so i will let you know how that goes .tiger woods look out !

track star

Here's our little track star .He is staying in his own lane now so that is a plus .

late news

The "guys" went out to ride bikes this weekend and found a turtle under my car .I guess that with all the rain he got washed away from somewhere .We took him to the creek behind the school and he dashed off.Happy little turtle again .

here are some pics of how bad the storms were here

not so lonely

I am not so lonely

I do not miss the noise

the slamming, banging

running, barking ,yelling hooting and hollering.

the smell is gone

the peace has come

I know its not for long

I know it will end

someone will come

tears and runny noses will flow

the camp out will be over

about the time I lay my head down to rest

the back door will open someone will yell

MOMMA!

or Mrs.Humphrey!

I want to come in!

make up the cots

pile up the blankets on the floor

find the snuggle buddies

settle down once more

then I'll stop and look around

nope not here

then I'll go look and there he'll be out in the tent all alone

lucky Mr Humphrey

Kids fest

so today was the first field trip we took with the daycare kids .we went to the kid fest the city put on . they had booths, games, bounce houses and food . i don't know what i was thinking it would be like but all the people that were there was amazing .i was hoping that all our buddies from school and the block could go around with us ,but there was just too much . i think we will have to have a more controlled environment to make that a success .so they just went with their parents and had fun . i gave everyone a calender of things we will be doing all summer in hopes that they can come along so they can all keep up over the summer .even if they don't get to go with us at least they know the fun free stuff to do. it was fun to see how many of our friends came out to play i hope that we can have several come along for a lot off our things .we have 2 friends from pre k and 2 from kinder in the daycare and any friends that come along is bonus .

one of the moms on the last day said it would be neat if they were friends all through school ,i never thought of it till she said it . big C grew up like that, i didn't get to .i made a life long friend in 6th grade ,we still get together ,but never from kinder.it would be neat
