All I have to say is, "Ouch!"

I wonder if he makes enough money to pay the dentist bills?

TGIF!!!

I live for the weekends! No, not because I'm a party animal-------I can't even imagine what a hangover would feel like at my age----but, because I love for my children to be home. I like lazy Saturday mornings. I can't wait until its cold enough to have a fire in the fireplace. I have a fireplace in my kitchen and it's so nice to have breakfast there on a cold morning. Friday evenings are for high school football----John over at Catholic Packer Fan will surely be proud that I've softened my stance on football. It is actually enjoyable, and since it is chilly now, the cheerleaders are dressed modestly, so I don't have to worry about that. Things like that bother me--mid-drifts, bellybuttons, and too much thigh showing. I like to teach my daughters to be an attraction, not a distraction. I love this little saying, don't you "an attraction, not a distraction." I heard this from a talk given at a modesty fashion show last month. Modesty is something that is not easy to teach this day and age----skin is everywhere!!!

As I sit here, I feel like a kid trying to get out of her chores. Everytime I hear Hubby's footsteps coming down the stairs, I jump off of this chair and act like I'm doing some much needed chore. I have managed to fold all of the laundry this morning, but I still need to vacuum and do the breakfast dishes. I don't want to be caught loafing this morning. HA! This is because he's getting ready to paint the back of the house and I feel guilty with him working and me typing. If the house was spotless, I wouldn't feel guilty, but of course, it isn't.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Sunday at My House

Today was a very nice day here. The temp held in the 60's.
First, the family and I went to Mass at 9:30am, then we all went to RE (Religious Education.) I co-teach the 2nd grade, like I've said before, and at the same time, some of my kiddos attend their own classes. The boys (Hubby and our two sons) went grocery shopping while the rest of us were in RE. We all met back at home for a quick lunch, then it was off to a soccer game.
Next, we returned home and the kids played, some of the family watched the NASCAR race, and I decluttered the computer desk and a bookshelf as I was looking for an important paper-----never found it. Then, we all went outside to play. I surprised the kids by getting my bulk onto the trampoline. I am POSITIVE I helped the neighbors have a good Sunday, too!! I was laughing just thinking of what I must look like. I actually think older people, (anyone above age, let's say, 14) in general, look absolutely idiotic on a trampoline. The bounce and the motion to move the legs just don't coordinate anymore. There's sompin' 'bout it, just ain't pretty. We had a family football game----4 on 4. I think my team won, but I'm not sure. Hubby prepared some things on the back of the house. He might start painting it tomorrow. We found a dead snake and caught a huge spider in a jar. A GREAT day!! After we grabbed a bite for supper, the two oldest kiddos went to their RE class. Finally, it was baths and bedtime.

Time to start another week! Here's what I have planned for supper this week:
1) Taco Salad 2) Grilled Salmon 3) Vegetable Soup 4) Hamburgers on Grill 5) Chicken 6)Potato Soup 7)Sunday is the meal at Grandma's. These are in no particular order. My true desire is to have meatless Fridays, but that doesn't always happen.

I have a luncheon on Tuesday and besides that, it's just crazy as usual.

What's up with you this week?
