Seriously, if I stay all day I will be shocked.



The boss is out for two days. I am all kinds of pleased. Of course, I would have liked to have spoken to him about my proposal, but I can wait, especially since I am just pleased that I asked.



Yesterday afternoon was, well, you ever have one of those times in which you know that everything is good? Well, yesterday was one of those days.



I picked up Bobby, who was all kinds of happy about school still and chattered on and on about it from the second I got him until we got Dax. But before we got Dax, he and I ran up to the Dollar Tree to get a few party items so that we could have a “party” for Dax’s first real day of Pre-K. I found several books for them along with a couple of awesome Star Wars puzzles that are 48 pieces which means they can really work on these. Plus, Bobby picked out a helmet, sword and shield that he fell in love with. It was a good haul for $20. We also picked up a sword set for Dax.



When we got Dax home, we showed him the things, and he was jazzed. The boys promptly started their soldier games, which was fun. It allowed me to work on other things. I let Luna go swimming, which got Bobby to want to go in, and Dax was able to play in the yard daredevil style, climbing on everything. It was nice. So I opted to BBQ so that I could still keep an eye on things, yet make dinner.



Ken had gone to go pick up some toner and other things, so I cleaned up the kitchen and some other things. I felt proud of my cleaning and making dinner. The boys didn’t fight. The dogs were pleased. Ittles didn’t pee on anything other than litter. It was good!



We ate, and the boys actually ate what I made without complaint. What the heck??? And the food, seriously, so freaking yummy. I made rice and teriyaki chicken. So good.



The other good thing I did was that Bobby and I worked on his homework before we got Dax. This allowed him to not have to worry about it later. Granted, it was easy. He had to write his name 4 times, but still, it was something that needed to be done. While he worked on this, I straightened the playroom!



While I made dinner and cleaned the kitchen, I also made his lunch. I was so organized I also made my breakfast for today and prepped my lunch. By the time I sat down for dinner, just about all of my chores were already done.



Ok, perhaps my mood was enhanced by the Morgans and Cokes I had, but even without that I think I was great.



The boys took a bath, and when they got out, there were no complaints and they got dressed well. I even let them watch a show last night. We had stopped shows since they were not paying enough attention to story time, so we had to take them away. I gave them a cup of milk and some cookies, and after the show, without being asked, they put their cups away! I was so pleased! They fed the dogs, put away the table and we headed to bed.



During story, both of them answered questions about what we had just read. It was cool! They mostly did good going to sleep, but I can cut them some slack since they were great!



I got to bed early. No joke! Before 8:30! I was so pleased! It was truly an awesome night!



So the reason I won’t make it the whole day is that I feel kind of icky today. Nothing horrid, but it is one of those things where I am tempted to take the day and be home. We will see.



If I go home, I have so many things I can work on. I can pick up Dax from Pre-K, I can work on the playroom, I can hang out. At this point, I will probably at least wait another hour or so.



Ken has a doctor appt this afternoon at 3:30 for his shoulder. I am glad since he really needs to get it looked at. I am going to ask the doctor while we are there about my arm. I want to make sure the bruise looking thing from my TB test is nothing to worry about.



My ankle seems much better. Still a smidge swollen, even after icing it. It hurts sometimes, but mostly it doesn’t, which seems good. I am going to try to walk to get Bobby today. I am thinking that no matter what time I leave here, it will be early so that I can maybe watch Bobby on the playground. Sometimes they play right before they go home.



All kinds of distracted today. My head hurts. I have done some testing, but the things don’t work still. I know it is because they have not re-written the path yet, so I have to wait until they do.



Oooh, another thing I way have to do is go through the boys’ clothing drawers. They have a lot of things I can get rid of since their drawers are packed full. I know there are things in there that don’t fit anymore.



OMG, just downloaded an app on iTty that is a game in which you are this teddy bear shooting other teddy bears. Too funny. I may have found my new weakness.



My man just brought me flowers. I think I will keep him. YAY! He has today off, so I am pretty damn sure I will leave early to go hang with him a bit. Classes are in full swing next week, so our family is going to be in full busy mode starting Monday. Soccer, school, work. It will be crazy! So I think throwing in the towel at noon is my current plan.



I love geeks, I really do, but seriously, they cannot play in the general populous.



I have made the decision to go home at noon. I am sure I could stay the extra hour, and who knows, I may still go back on said decision. We will see.
