This Minute


Home tonight ..
Everyone is a wee bit cranky.... I am talking about the short people { otherwise known as my children }. They did a lot today while I was working ( ever so peaceful at my store .. don't tell JIM;) ) They went Fishing ... apparently Sophia caught 9 fish , Ryan 8 ... and Jakob who apparently hates fishing sat in the truck for a solid two hours listening to a modern rock station ... venting in his own way.

Jakob wanted to go to New Hartford .. to participate in a YU-GI-OH tournament they have every Saturday. Well it IS a holiday weekend and there was no such tournament today.. He did not believe me ..even after the phone calls ..explaining what happens sometimes on a holiday weekend .. like people go away .. businesses close early ..
Nope.
I am the worst mom ever. The title has been passed to me today .. thank you very much.
Soo .. ok , I will live with that the next 24 hours.
So after fishing and a FUN filled journey to Walmart .. Jim took them on a kite adventure. The wind was perfect .. the kite was high everything was like a magazine I am told..
or not..

Mind you , I wish I was there with my camera .. But work got in the way today.
So Jakob hates kites .. hates fishing .. hates everything but YU-GI-OH Tournaments ..
Sophia and Ryan apparently got sick of one another's competitive spirit ... Even had a few sparked slaps ..
So they came home .. as did I .
Jim had to " Go Lay Down " as he put it " ...because I just can it take it anymore.. "
Now they are all on the couch .. One asleep .. one keeps burping .. and one is waiting to go to New Hartford for YU-GI-OH...

I Love these days ... really , they hold those moments that unless you jot it down ..or take a picture .. you forget . Because the are the little things in our day...and we forget those very special things sometimes..
I think they are cute and worth an entry .. they build character and show us what makes us real :)
The little things ARE the big things after all.

I am soo happy right now.

Moments Today ..

If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
