Today started out normally. Ruby wasn't up during the night last night, so that rice must have bound her up....YAY!!!!!! So I wasn't up with the dog, BUT...did I ever mention that my dear hubby has sleep apnea and has to wear a mask at night? Well, he does, and some nights his mask, or his mouth, make the most annoying noises. Last night was one of those nights. I feel bad 'cause he can't help it, but MAN!!! I kept poking him in the back to try and fix it. Of course he thinks I'm CONSTANTLY poking him all night...even though I did it, like, twice. sigh.
Tanner and Ashley woke up with tremendously sore arms. They could barely brush their teeth. :( Tanner thought he should stay home......good try, son) and doesn't know how he's going to play lacrosse tonight.
Today is 'crazy hair day' at Mitch's school. It's the elementary's equivalent to 'Homecoming' week. Here is a picture of Mitch's CRAZY hair.....
Did I mention he HATES doing anything different to his hair? So much like Tanner that way.....come to think of it, they're both like their Dad that way. :) No crazy hair for him...
I was off to work early today. We had a busy class...but fun all the same. While cleaning up the room I receive a phone call from Ashley. "I'm so sick, Mom. Can you come get me?" She sounds terrible...probably a reaction to all those shots yesterday. She aches all over, possibly from the flu-mist?? I take off to get her. I finally get her home, fix her soup, and within minutes she's out...
Poor girl.....
All I'm thinking about is Tanner. I wonder if he's feeling bad at all.....
Well, the answer to that was a resounding NO! When he got home from school he said his arms were still a little sore, but he was pumped for lacrosse. So, after a snack I dropped him off at lacrosse practice and ran to the grocery store.
My hubby was home when I pulled in.......
My love....
I have to tell you my insane Mom moment today. After school was out, I was waiting for Allison to come home. I waited 20 minutes....no Alli....so I called her to see where she was...no answer. I thought, "O.k. she'll call any minute, like usual." A half hour went by....no Alli, no call....so I called again, no answer. Forty-five minutes went be with nothing...and I'm starting to freak out a bit, thinking of running up to the high school to see if she was just 'hanging out'. I'm calling every 5 minutes at this point. AN HOUR comes and goes with no call or sign of her....I call Chuck to see what he thinks I should do. During this whole time I'm leaving increasingly angry messages. My last one to her was, "Alli...BE PREPARED TO GET IN TROUBLE WHEN YOU GET HOME!!!!...click" As I'm talking to Chuck Ashley pipes in from the couch, "Hey, Mom, maybe she's still on her field trip." ........that's totally where she was the entire time. They had gone into the city for French to see Les Miserables. Needless to say, I left a very sheepish and apologetic message to Alli after all this. She calls me back when they're done, I pick up the phone and all I hear is..."Mom, you're a dork." I'm glad she has a sense of humor.
Within 5 minutes of getting home she has her jammies on. (A girl after my own heart) Here she is eating her latest favorite snack.....caramel rice cakes.
After a spaghetti dinner with pesto bread, Mitch and I sat down to do his homework.
After picking Tanner up from lacrosse practice.....
feeding him a plate of spaghetti......
and helping with HIS homework.....
I snuck downstairs to take a picture of the girls doing their favorite thing....
Watching a movie with their favorite actor...
Will Farrell---can you guess the movie?? ....answer at the bottom of page....
It is now 8:00p.m. Time to do the bedtime routine. Chuck is down in the basement with the furnace guy. It is just not working right...and believe me, we need the furnace at night.
The troops are getting crabby....mainly because I said no bedtime snack--due to the fact we JUST ate spaghetti and I'm still burping it up.....and because I'm so 'crabby', as one put it, because I got mad that he was sticking his stinky, smelly, just-from-lacrosse-practice feet in his brother's face. I have to go 'crack the whip', I guess. ;)
Good night all.....

OK, Caramel RICE CAKES. Barf city. This little project makes you realize just how much we moms fit in a day, doesn't it?!?!?! Aidan had a wild freak out moment when I told him he was getting flumist like his cousins. Holy crapoly, I'm talking FREAK. OUT. Wish me luck with that one.
Oh I wish you luck, Dan! Hopefully he doesn't blow out rather than sniff up! Mitch goes today for his. Don't worry, I'll post it! :) I hope he doesn't feel crappy afterward, like Ash did. She was so ill. :(
Yeah, I agree, caramel rice cakes?? What's gotten into her? I hope she's not dieting.....yikes....never thought of that until now. I'll have to investigate.
I LOVE caramel rice cakes! Have you had them lately-delish! This is a great reminder that I have to get mine in for their flu-mist-Jonnie is going to be thrilled-I hope he doesn't react like Aidan (: Glad Rubes is feeling better!
Oh YAY! You're doing the "day in the life" thing too! Man, kind of makes me want to join the fun... except I worry that it would be depressingly boring. :(
And I have to stick up for rice cakes, too... Call me crazy, but I like them! Haven't had them for a while, but they are good. :)
O.k....I snuck one of Alli's rice cakes, and they aren't that bad! Kind of addicting. I think they sell them at her school, so she gets them every day.
Maja---please blog your day! It's kind of fun...except when you forget your camera at home and miss some awesome shots. I don't think I'd find it boring, and I'd love to see your day.
