The weekend begins August 18, 2007

Last night was another doozie!  But I’m mentally ready to try mind over matter.  I did some yoga this morning and I’ve done some laundry.  Feeling productive always boosts my spirits.  I’ve got an awesome family that is great for distractions.  I’m up for a day trying to just ignore my back and this cold that is plaguing me.

Now for funny things my kids do:

Adam yesterday asked me, “do reindeer really fly?”  Russ and I had just talked about not lying to the kids so I was circling the question.  I said, “Well Adam what do you think?”  He said, “well I think Yes.”  I said, ” ok then that answers your questions. ” He said,  “Mom will you answer me?”  I again said well Adam what do you think.  Then he said, “Mommy this is getting complicated!”  So I discovered my 4 year old can’t be fooled.  He knows when I avoid questions.  I have my hands full with Adam and Tyler and there deep thoughts.  Tyler has lost, I think 6 teeth now.  The Tooth Fairy has consistently with every tooth forgot to leave money under his pillow the 1st night.  We have chalked this up to Tyler sleeps different places every night so she has a hard time finding him.  Last night the Tooth Fairy came and thought she had left 4 quarters.  But I was informed by Tyler this morning that the tooth fairy left 3 quarters and one nickel.  He laughed a little as we discussed that the Tooth Fairy probably thought the nickel was a quarter but it was a nickel.  I’m really happy Tyler is very forgiving of the Tooth Fairy.

Enjoy your weekend!  I’ll be fighting the mental fight and hope I win.
