Yes! Finally Addison slept through the night again (something she has been doing since she was 2 weeks old) and she took longer than 1/2 hour nap since we had our little hospital adventure.
It is a little unsettling to have the smoke alarm in your girls room go off at 4 am. Thankfully nothing was actually on fire. But it was a little freaky. I made Steve check downstairs and then feel the ceiling to make sure there wasn't a hidden flame somewhere. And hey, we are all still alive and well this morning!
Ahhh....Labor Day. No school. And Zac and Emily starting off the day by waking up ready to kill each other. And it has only gotten better......Thankfully they are going 4 wheelin' with Steve and my dad today. What time were they leaving?
Every dentist I have gone to in my adult life has been an idiot. And the one I went to on Friday was the biggest one of all.
I asked Steve this morning if he would consider going back to school to become a dentist. 'Cause as far as I can tell (oh, I can hear Zac and Em going at it upstairs as I type) all you have to do is go to a 3 week seminar and then pay someone a couple hundred bucks for a paper to hang on your wall. (no offense to any dentists reading this) And guess what? Steve said he had been thinking the same thing. He said if that guy I went to was such an idiot, surely HE could be a dentist too. If we were both thinking it, it must be meant to be. I wonder if I can change Zac's mind from paleontologist to dentist. No, I want my son to grow up to be smart.
We set up a folding table in our kitchen last night for Zac's B-day dinner. I am taking bets on how long it will be up before we take it down. Last time it went up it was there for at least 2 weeks. I am betting this time it will be up till Friday.
I ate so many strawberries last night, part of me wonders if it will come out through my milk and if we will end up in the ER again.
I was getting Em Frosted Flakes for breakfast and for some reason I really wanted some. Nasty. I will never make that mistake again.
I think it is a cruel trick to play on mothers. Have kids start school and go for a week and then give them a 4 day weekend. Yeah, they are off tomorrow too for some reason unbeknownst to me.
I would really just like to have 1 day off. One day of not cleaning, cooking, laundry, washing 100 hands and faces. breaking up fights. You know what, I would even settle for 1/2 day. Fat chance.
So, it has been about an hour since I typed this and I feel the need to come back and clarify my last statement. I don't want anyone to think that I am not grateful for the life I have. I LOVE my life. It is the life I have chosen and the life I want and I would not trade it for anything. I just want to do something for one day that doesn't HAVE to be done. Sometime I feel like everything I do is something that HAS to be done and not something I WANT to do. But than that is my own fault for not carving out time for things like that. Anyway, we are getting a little deep for Monday Morning Musings so I better go now. Have a GREAT holiday.

I think you have bad dentist because you live in Utah. See, another reason not to live there. Seriously, I have never had a bad experience at the dentist.
And why do your kids have TWO days off? That is weird and mean.
And there is nothing wrong with wanting a day off. Heck, I want a day off from my job just about every day.
And I wish I could get Gabe to eat cereal for breakfast. He hates it ever since I was pregnant and we ate it every night for dinner. No kidding. Now I have to fix him eggs, or pancakes, or something else every day.
I got to do something I wanted to do today I went 4 wheeling up in the mountains . you know doing things you want is not all its cracked up to be , for some reason I wished instead to be at a craft store shopping for really neat projects , oh darn I never can seem to find the time for such " just for me " activities oh well back to the salt mines.....
your hair really looks so cute on you , you get cuter as you get older
Ok, but all the dentists here go to Dallas to school so explain that.
And ok, I got to have a day off for part of the day today and go shopping with my mom for stuff to make Addison a blanket and other various things for her bed so I guess I can't complain.
And thanks for the cute comment weirdo.
I cannot believe I didn't know about the skull fracture. I remember one time when Priscila was walking (like she wasn't suppose to be doing) with Joey down our hardwood floor hall. She dropped him and he flipped over. He must have been 6 or 8 months old. I made David come over and check him out. He must have just missed his head.
Also, Farrah is always looking to get you to move to Dallas, huh?
I get that way too. Wanting a couple hours where I can do whatever I want. I always plan on going to Walmart by myself and always end up taking the kids. They start crying to go and I give in. Go figure. I always regret it when we get there.
Dad you know you really wanted to go crafting.
and I agree with the weirdo! You look good.
