My Mom & Kids

Mom & Kids
Sunday, May 07, 2006

Today I was so tired. I didn't get up and walk like I was supposed to. I dosed off and on until 8. Odd for me. I am catching the boys' cold. They are nearly out of cold medicine so when I got up & dressed we went to the park that Ian had been asking to go to. Unfortunately, he wasn't feeling too well, so we didn't stay long.


Connor likes the swing because he says he feels like he is flying. Ian also likes the swing, but I think it is because it goes high! Faith starts out on the "baby slide" and then graduates up to the big ones. She is such a mix of her brothers. She is timid like Connor, but once she does it, on her own (she doesn't like suggestions), then she is daring like Ian! Imps. J {Some things never change! 2011}





See, not much different at home, just less clothes!


 
After that detour we went on to Wal-Mart to get some more cold medicine. We also checked out some items & found most had that blasted hydrogenated oil junk in them! Scary & sad! Jim would be pleased; I bought a lottery ticket & washed the van! Faith wasn't too thrilled. Connor used to be terrified of them.  She wasn't quite as bad.

I called mom & talked to her a bit. She had just washed Pest & was chasing him round the house for a dry! She sounded tired. I made her a photo collage with her grandchildren & her & a couple of Tess & I. I ordered her sunflower "wallies" for her kitchen from ebay yesterday. I think the boys are going to decorate a couple of containers (big cans) for her as well.

Connor has been having quite a streak of misbehaving. This evening I took his outside for two days. I hate it, but he is really on quite a streak. I need to watch & see if the cold medicine may be partly to blame. Being sick always makes them worse.

While they were eating dinner I went out & walked (back yard). I did 5 miles! Yeah! J I have sore feet, but hey! I was pretty pleased with myself. My legs felt like I just got off a ship!

Well, the boys have been getting yelled at. I wish I could discipline without yelling. That really bothers me. Connor isn't feeling well. It is almost bedtime for tonight. Yeah! And I know why I walk in the am's! The boys don't get in trouble when they are asleep! J

Love them! SM MacLeod
