As if the kids aren't enough.

The husband has decided to join in on the big plot to give me a stress heart attack.

It is apparently mid-life crisis time. First is was the motor cycle, then the second piercing in his ear. Okay, I can cope.

However, I can only assume he is after the life insurance. Sunday is was the "oooooops, I layed the bike down in the gravel", resulting in major bruising to his arm and butt.

Last night it was "oooops, I got a speeding ticket"....................64 in a 40. 64 in a 40 that we are always yelling at others for speeding on. 170$ worth of 64 in a 40, not to mention how much our insurance is going to increase.

Heart attack time, I'm telling ya!

My darned internal clock!

Most mornings it is a huge struggle for me to get up at a decent time. This is so I can have the schoolwork ready, drag the kid's up, get ready for whatever gajillion errands need run, etc.

Today, Sunday, blissful Sunday. Nothing to do, no where to go until this afternoon. A perfect day to sleep in. No arguing the kids out of bed, no homework to ready.

Nope, not to be. For some reason I come leaping up at 7. Have coffee, shower, start a load of laundry..............all this before 8. Then surprise #2. 2 of the 3 kids are up, bathed, fed and dressed by 8:45. A feat that usually occures only with herculean effort on my part. And they did it on their own!

Some things are normal though, making me realize that we have not, in fact, been transported to an alternate universe. S is still asleep................whew.

No, I have not been taken by aliens.

Unless you count the ones I have to live with every day.

For my loyal 2 readers I have decided that I had better start blogging again. Cause everything I have to say is just so darned interesting right?

Skipped homeschool group today. It rained here overnight and there are some very large puddles in the road. I didn't really feel like taking the kids to the park that has lots of wood, mulch and sand. Sounded to much like extra laundry to me.

B gave herself a haircut sometime in the middle of the night:( Not at all a pretty one either. At least she stuck to the bangs. Or, what were the bangs. Now she just looks like she has a really high, stubbly forehead.
