Sunday, September 28

Just a checking in real quick before heading to bed...I've been staying up a little too late and am going to try to get myself in bed at a more reasonable hour this week. I've never been one to like going to bed (right, Mom?) ... but I'm not a classic "night owl" either. I just like to stay up until I pass out on the couch with Seinfeld on and have Matt get me up when he's ready for bed which is usually pretty late.


As part of my effort to take better care of myself I'm going to go to bed like a normal person and see how that works out.





We had a busy, busy weekend, but all good stuff. Early Saturday soccer, and then the bike-a-thon for Matt and Jonathan and Arthur's Picnic in the Park for me and Kate. Hannah spent the weekend with Grandma Sarah and Grandpa Mike. Then they brought her back with Laura and her 3 girls for a birthday celebration for Jonathan and Matt today. Whew! That doesn't include the shopping, cleaning or church. Are you like me and need a day off after the weekend to rest up before the week starts???





To start the week off.... tomorrow is my sweet husband's birthday.


I won't get to see him at all since he teaches a late Monday night class after his regular school day, not getting home until after my new bedtime ;) Well, I might just break the new rule tomorrow. Be on the look out for a birthday post. I'm getting pretty good at those.





One rule I can't break: posts must have a photo.


Go ahead, ask.

Is that the ear wax thing???? We've done that before! How gross and wierd is that!

Happy birthday to Matt! You'll have to tell him that Maddy and I were talking about him today and said let's do a loud blowing of our noses just for Mr. Matt! Don't you know Maddy CRACKED UP over it all. We wish we were there to help you celebrate both of the birthdays you've had. Love you all and miss you!

Well, that picture got quite a loud laugh out of me...I think I just scared Doug! I was not expecting that! Where did you dig that one up? I'm sooo happy to hear that you are trying to go to bed like a "normal" person now. You know how I feel about you taking care of yourself!! Since I didn' get to actually speak to Matt today, give him another happy birthday from me. Love you all!

Yes, my sweet daughter, you got that "not-ready-to-go-to-bed" from me! I too will sit on the couch and finally slip into the reclining position, and before I know it, Leon is taking my hand and leading me to bed. I have never liked having a "bedtime"--but it is true, when you get 8 hours of sleep, the world looks like a whole different place.
Love to you all,
Mom

I never thought you were supposed to candle yourself! You may burn your hair. PS did you know if you hold those things to a rock the same gunk shows up inside. Tried and true!
