Wisdom of the week

Things have a way of working themselves out.

Be patient.

Do the right thing and you'll get what you want eventually.

Have a crying session with a good friend...she will make you feel better.

Go to people's special events.

Have lunch with someone battling cancer, they will unintentionally help you put things in perspective.

Mommy tantrum

Do you ever wish that you could have an all out tantrum like your kids do when they don't get their way?

Not even that.

I would settle for it being acceptable to just cry when someone makes me mad or hurts my feelings.

For just one day, I wish I was 3 again.

Introducing the newest Tiger Cub

My little fisherman is officially a Cub Scout.

He is going to LOVE it. It's right up his alley! We had a potluck tonight at the park where they had to build a boat (which he asked every man in sight for help but never me - wonder why!) and then race them. He got his first patch and doesn't have a shirt yet.

They had all the new Tiger Cubs get up and introduce themselves and who was with them and they also had to say "I will do my best". He did a GREAT job.

If you see him, congratulate him!

Seriously?

Bubba: Can I have that squirt bottle?


Me: No.


Bubba: Why?


Me: Because you'll squirt it.


Bubba: No I won't. 


Me: Then why do you want it?


Bubba: Because I want to squirt it.


Me: Seriously?

Ummmm hi.


Hello!? Is anyone out there?? Where have you been? Oh...where have I been?? I'll be honest...I used to use this outlet to share stories, pictures, and one liners from my life and now I primarily use FaceBook for that. I know that not all my peeps are on FB, so I will try harder at blogging! I just feel like I'm repeating myself sometimes and repetition is sooooo annoying.

So, what have we been up to?

Wow...well....Peanut has a few more weeks of school. He just finished soccer, which isn't his greatest love, and t-ball is now starting. He was supposed to have his first practice tonight, but since we are busy building an ark, we didn't have practice. He is looking forward to summer although I don't think he realizes that he will probably get bored. Trophy Hub will be home during the day with them so I'm sure there will be lots of fishing and other boy stuff going on. He will also be doing a wildlife camp in July.

Bubba is right in the middle of the terrible 3's. He is cute as a bug and  rotten as an egg. I can't help but smooch on him every chance I get though. His vocabulary still amazes me. Hearing a 3 year old use words like "actually" and "ridiculous" and "appropriate" in the correct way cracks me up. He got back last night after spending 2 days with my parents. I think they all enjoyed it.

Trophy Hub is finishing up spring semester at the U. He is taking a 3 week course and then taking the summer off from classes. He deserves the break, although I know he's anxious to get these classes knocked out. No doubt he will be spending a lot of time fishing this summer.

And me? I am off to fold laundry. More tomorrow!
