School, blowouts and rain

It is a Friday and the day started out with a rush. Running out the door to get Jakob to his first zoo class on time. For him it was his first day in a "preschool" setting and this is the look he gave me after he hung up his coat.

This look says this:
"You aren't leaving me are you? You got me all excited about going to zoo class but failed to mention the fact that you were leaving me. What kind of mother are you, just dropping off and leaving your child. You should be ashamed of yourself."

But he survived, made a coffee filter butterfly, got to go out and see animals, and fell asleep 5 minutes after getting in the car. I even got a "Me wubbed ew cas"

After what seemed like forever, we made it home.
Want to know the difference between a girl and a boy? When a boy has a blowout in his diaper, he has items of his anatomy that keep it from pushing to the front, onto his belly. The girl does not, so it goes up the back, up the front and out the sides. So fun...note to self: don't give her so much grape juice.

In my pj's I will spend the rest of the day.
The rain is pounding down, and I think I just saw a mouse.
I have to finish up because Jakob wants to play.
By the way, how many people live in this house?

The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me. Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car. The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to wr

the color yellow

I LOVE the color yellow. It is sunshine, happiness, bright, and fun. For the past couple of weeks I have been updating my kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls and re-doing the counter tops. The color scheme I picked is yellow, black and cream. Today was the day I finally got to paint the walls with the "applesauce" color I picked. YEE..OWZA. I have never put a color on my walls that made me doubt my sense of design and decision making in my home. This color is doing that to me. I love yellow, but is it right for my walls? I am unsure. I need to place the second coat on and live with it. Beginning to think I should have picked a very light warm grey color instead. Yellow is definitely Yellow...

So today is Friday. It is the day I have to rush out the door with Kadence and Jakob so that Jakob can go to zoo class. (I live an hour away from the zoo and he has to be there by 9.) Well, this morning everyone was tired and didn't want to get up, we have been getting over being sick. I have 10 minutes to get out the door and Rick decides to make pancakes for Jakob. But...we make it anyway. Jakob off to class, Krischan at school, and Mom and daughter together by ourselves. Let's go buy shoes. Which I did...for her. I can't buy shoes when someone is with me, kids or adults. Shopping for shoes is like picking out a good book, it takes time and you can't do it when you have a little one with you, or big one with you taking up any of your attention. Although, I do enjoy buying Kadence shoes, so it isn't too much of a big deal. Do I really need a new pair of shoes anyway? Hah!(big bellowing laugh while I throw my head back) who am I kidding, of course I do, even if
