Sleepy.

Sleepy. Tucker Ross is very sleepy today. He woke up with a fever of 102 and it has come down some however I am a little nervous he has only been awake a total of about 2 1/2 hours all morning. That is not normal at all and he just lays on the couch and sleeps. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. I am having a restful day of sewing and laundry, and possibly a nap.

As for Tayden he was pumped today, because he got to take his lunch to school for the first time. I am also a little nervous, he is riding a different bus, because he is getting off at home, not Denny's .

Hope you are having a great Thursday!! Tomorrow if Friday!!

Somedays

Somedays the students are great-but not today.
Somedays all of my students are clean and ready for the week.
Somedays my school days are very fun and wild- like Friday.
Somedays I worry what happens when some of them go home.
Somedays I wonder if they will eat supper or breakfast.
Somedays I think that it is a great job.
Somedays I know,that even the smallest things mean the most to them.
Somedays I think why even get attached.
Somedays I wonder why this year is so much more emotional bothering to me than last year.
Somedays I WILL JUST DO THE BEST I CAN and know it must work.
SOMEDAYS IT IS ALL OUT OF MY CONTROL.
-thank you god for giving me love and patience for all children in this world, not matter, race, gender, size, knowledge, or behavior.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the 2 cowboys. They called themselves cowboy and bull rider.

We are excited in the car!!

The bull rider is ready. He had is heart set.


As a mother of 2 lovely boys, I thought wow yes we can be Cowboy and Indian how cute, great costume, sounds great, until I asked who was going to be the Indian? They both said nope, and Tucker instantly replied with Mommy Tucker Bull Rider. Therefore I had to remember that Halloween was about them and it didn't really matter if they weren't the most creative, they were happy. Have a great weekend.

Beds

What a cute little boy sleeping in his newly formed bed.

I rearranged our bedroom today. It is amazing how different it looks and I hate to say it but, I think our bedroom looks smaller this way. We will see how it works for a while.

Yes this is the boys bedroom. I think it looks similar to an orphanage, however the beds were bunked and the top bed never got slept on. We are hoping that they will stay in their own beds and sleep longer, because they won't be wrestling each other.

Yes all of these things were accomplished today. I have had a productive 2 days at home, hopefully this family stays healthy.

Vacation

Yes I am on vacation, from school that is, I am home getting things done or well some things done. We have got Tuckers hair cut, sewn (a little), I am trying to decide what the next project should be other than finishing the quilt blocks yes all 3 of them.
If you didn't know SCR-1 is out of school until Wednesday due to flu illness. Hopefully we will go back and get the routine established again. Have a great day.

Friday

This Friday was better than most Fridays. We were told at the beginning of October, if we could get our Parent Teacher Conferences done this week then we would not have to come to school on Friday! Well, most of us took that to its fullest and stayed late a couple of night to prevent being there today. So instead of work, my mother, Tucker and I went to Kirksville to shop (well for groceries and others). We had a successful day- Thanks mom. She was helpful with the 2 year old and she bought lunch!!! I also took the plunge and was vaccinated for H1N1 today. Smart or not I do not know. Have a great weekend.

Rice

White rice, did you know it has a new purpose, well at least in our house, feed for the cows. Saturday morning about 6:50, boys got up and came to lay with me. Great so after a few minutes of giggling and fighting I said, why don' t you to go play in the playroom and I will get up in a minute. Ok says Tucker and Tayden follows him. Well when I got up at 7:00 they had managed to dump a whole box of white rice on the floor in the playroom, and loving Tucker says feed cows mommy, Tucker feed cows and Tayden says, "Mom Tucker did it he dumped the rice."
At this point I think- well they might as well enjoy feeding the cows, because there is already a mess. The mess only grew, because the rice got moved in trucks, gravity wagons and all kind of toys-and yes moved into the dining room, living room, and kitchen. They thought it was fun and after our weekly trip to town, we swept the house. Yeah, my cleaning for the weekend is done.
