Thanks

After going to church yesturday, I remember that it is okay to do something wrong as long as you admit and ask for forgiveness. Whew I am okay, for yelling at my students (every other minute), screaming at home for the fast footsteps running (sprinting) through our house, for saying mean things about others to entertain myself once in a while, for eating two pieces of chocolate cake yesturday.

The message at church talked about how it was okay to do these things, we all can be this way and the correct thing to do is notice and ask for him to forget those things and above all that Jesus Loves Me.

And yes I will be okay, I will try not to yell from 8-3 tomorrow then when I get home, does it really matter if the kids run through the house.

Beaters

There was a small problem this afternoon. I made a chocolate cake. (My goal is not to eat it all by myself. ) When it was time to lick the beaters, guess who didn't have one to lick. Tucker. Tayden really likes to lick them along with their father who enjoys licking the bowl and spoon also. So the softy mother chose to let Tucker have the spoon. That way I felt it was even!! Plus the big brother did offer to share.

Holy Cow

SEWING!!

Literally Holy Cow, I am beginning a new quilt, well actually two. This is the story. A new year of sewing club, so a new project. We are doing a block quilt as a club therefore we will two 9 blocks then conform our own quilt with our own material. It should be fun, however I chose the material to do a farm quilt (hint the block above) then realized that should be for my boy #2 and that isn't fair boy #1 should have a quilt first, therefore I will do two at a time. Wow and the cows in Tuckers first block may be a bit toooooo much. Let me know your opinion, I am going to go get started on Tayden's outdoor quilt. More pictures at the work unfolds,hopefully!!

Thank you...

Final Stage of Pizza Sauce.

Thank you Dickie and Lisa for the tomatoes, we will be able to have homemade pizza this winter. 10 pints of pizza sauce and 5 quarts of whole tomatoes. YEAH!!!!
Also thank you to the workers who helped load our barn full of 250ish bales of hay today. The equipment that was used and labor!!!!

peace

Something that doesn't usually happen until my two energetic boys at home go to bed. Well it is 5:49 and I am in peace or should I say quiet. My husband is mowing hay, so therefore both boys wanted to ride in the tractor. He took them about 45 minutes ago and I have gotten some things done, along with I believe the last sweet corn of the year picked. I believe it is about time to disc the garden and start begging for some fertilizer.
Happy fall,
evening to all.

By the way I also enjoy this time of the year!!!

Pound, pound, pound

When we got home today we were getting a new roof. The crew of odd looking people were on the roof, they just finished a little bit ago. Good news it is done, they are gone, it is quiet. We are glad it got accomplished. Bad news- the dish has been turned a little and in my husbands sake, lets hope it works after bit. Well we made it through another day at school and the boys seem as good as gold tonight!!!

Snotty

Everybody at this house is snotty, not sick just sniffling and plugged in the head.

I get a free day today, because Tucker the wonderful child ran a temperature last night until about 10, plus I didn't have a babysitter today = mom taking the day off. I had prepared to do the normal, doctor visit and rocking chair all day, but that isn't the case. The fever broke and we are in full swing today.

Also thank you Grandma Chuck for helping me can 12 quarts of tomato juice and 7 pints of salsa last night, she truly is a champ!!!!

We are headed to town to buy medicine, vitamins and stuff to get rid of our %$#*!!!!

1 more

yes one more person I am thankful for my riding partner - she does listen well to my kindergarten problems. ---some times laughing

also 1 more is what I said when I had 3 potty accidents in 1 hour at school----wow --- glad it is friday!!!!!!

Thankful...

I spend a lot of time complaining about my well behaved students at school this year. (for those of you that don't know that is stretching it.. BIG TIME)
Therefore I am going to be thankful for the things I have instead of complain.

a loving and happy husband,

I have been positive and thankful therefore have a great next couple of days!!!!
I am going to try to be thankful everytime I think I have a challenge.

R & R

Rest and Relaxation is what has been going on at this house over the long weekend. I think that is maybe what we needed, we haven't done a lot other than rest, relax, laundry, dishes and yes I cleaned, but not anything to overwhelming, we are ready for a new week (good attitudes and caught up -for now.) Hope for the rest of you to have a great week.

Zucchini

Why is it that Zucchini is so plentiful. I have numerous amounts, and I have gotten rid of all but one this morning. I froze some shredded, froze some cubed, froze some blended and froze some Zucchinisauce. Applesauce but zucchini instead of apples. I think it will be okay, but I will let you know what the boys think soon, they could think I am crazy. I am questioning if it will all be okay when I thaw it, but then again who really cares, it is no different than it going to waste right now. I think I have completed my green bean canning and I have a total of 44 quarts I believe. Sadly I haven't been able to do any tomatoes, oh well I can buy them I guess. Well that is all for now, HAVE A GREAT RESTFUL 3 DAYS!!!!

Did the bus forget us?

The answer to the question is yes. As we stood out at Denny's on this chilly morning we watched the bus go by, hoping it would stop on the way back bye, nope it sure didn't. Good new mom made a call to transportation and the bus came back. Tayden Lee Bish had his first day of preschool today. He didn't even look back for a wave, he was to excited..

Please pray for my Aunt Lori's sisters family. My Aunt Lori, Uncle Jimmy's (dad brother) wife sister had a heart attack Tuesday night in her yard and she is no longer on earth as we know. She was the mother of two young girls I believe 9 and 4.
