B has never been in daycare before. Since he was a baby we've been completely lucky (and grateful!) that my mom has watched him since he was born while we worked. This past summer my MIL took care of him too. This is his first year of school and he's in kindergarten. While it's been good for him to be around kids his own age and get into a routine, there's one thing I'm not excited, or prepared for...
THE GERMS!!!!!!
B started school on Sept 2nd. It's now October 7th. He's been sick a total of 4 TIMES ALREADY! He was sick enough that he missed 2 days of school between his first and second week of school. He's sick again! Poor little guy is sneezing and dripping and coughing all over the place. I was so not prepared for him to be sick ALL THE TIME when he started school. Someone tell me that his little immune system will get tougher over the next few months so he's not bringing home every germ that he comes in contact with!?!?!
I can't handle THIS. MUCH. SNOT! Seriously. It's everywhere and on everything. I'm going to have to start wearing a slicker pretty soon if he doesn't get better. And the funny thing is that his K teacher is one of the most germaphobic people I've met. B's come home with no less then 4 pieces of "germ" artwork each week since school started. You guys have heard of dream catchers right? He and his classmates made a "germ" catcher. A big thing that looks like a persons head and upper body with arms. The arms are holding a picture of what a germ looks like in one hand. The other hand is holding a tissue for "when he needs to cough or sneeze to catch the germs." How funny is that? I'll take a picture tonight of him and his artwork and post it here so you guys can see it.
I better be going so I can get reading for work.
BTW, Ms Peabody is still peeing and crapping EVERYWHERE!!!! How the hell do I get her to stop? We've tried everything and can't get her housebroken. J's ready to give up and send her packing. Someone please tell me how to break her of this bad habit before J wraps up all her things in a hankerchief and ties it around a long stick and sends her on her way!

WTH??? It's 4 AM!!!!
I've been up since 4:00 this morning.

Normally, I am the type of girl who lays her head down on the pillow and I'm down for the count. Other then sometimes waking up to use the bathroom, I'm a goner all night long. Sometimes I'm out even before laying down. I can fall asleep at my desk (shhhh don't tell my boss), in the car, sitting up, sitting sideways, bent backwards (don't ask) and yes, even on the potty. I guess that has something to do with me having Narcolepsy huh? But for some reason the past few weeks, sleep keeps escaping me. It's RIGHT. THERE. but I just can't grasp it. I'm reaching for it, stretching out to grab it but at the last second, it moves away.
I have had a lot of things going on lately, some of which I haven't even shared with you guys, my three readers, so I guess that could be a big reason for the long sleepless nights. I'm so tired at night and sometimes I can fall asleep like normal. But then, in the middle of the night, I wake up and can't go back to sleep. Of course, then I'm completely exhausted and fighting to keep my eyes open around now, 6 am, when it's time for me to get up and ready for work. Doesn't seem quite fair that I'm ready to fall back to sleep only when it's time to get up again!
I have Saturdays and Sundays off of work but J works on Saturdays so it's just me and B today. Our new favorite ritual is to go to Einstein Bagels after dropping my mom off at work. So we'll do that this morning for breakfast. Then the rest of the day will be spent cleaning up this house. Its not messy by anyones normal standards but J is a neat freak and is not normal! So it's messy for us. And I have a bunch of laundry to do. Guess it's been all the hours I've been spending here on the couch playing on my laptop that's been affecting the housework. Who knew if you were constantely screwing around, reading blogs, that your house would look like a bomb hit it? On the upside though, I've made some new spidy friends in all the cobwebs that have grown in the corners of my rooms. I'm telling everyone they're Halloween decorations and then won't have to deal with them until November...
I'm off and running to start my day. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Goodbye summer! It's been nice...
I think my little blog has gotten too serious these days. Obviously when you find out your husband’s been cheating on you, your life gets a little, shall we say, INTENSE?!?!? But I don’t want to bore my readers to tears, all 3 of you, so let’s talk about something else huh? (Update on me and hubs… We’re working things out, rebuilding the broken path, kissin' and makin' up and all that good stuff that’s supposed to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside).
The mornings and nights here in Utah are getting cooler and cooler. The afternoons are still as hot as ever (can you say HOT FLASHES peeps?) but the mornings and nights are getting down right chilly. We have the heater going all night and all morning but then the air conditioner needs to be on full blast during the day. I'm so ready for fall. I love the crisp air, the way the air smells kind of smoky from all the fireplaces being used again after the long hot summer. The leaves on the trees are starting to change to golds, reds and yellows. But, if you blink you'll miss it. For the past few years it seems we go from a long hot summer to a long frigid, cold winter. in between there's about 2 minutes of beautiful fall weather. it's the same with Spring. We get about 2 minutes of gorgeous, cool weather before it gets too hot to be outside.
While I will miss the bbq's, outdoor parties, drive inn movies, and yes, I'll admit it, the YARD SALES, I am looking forward to bundling up, baking goodies, soups, stews, and warm socks. Of course, if you tell me I said all this 2 weeks into winter, I will deny, deny, deny! I'm never happy lol... And I only love the snow when I can stay inside my nice cozy house and don't have to go out in it. Driving in that kind of weather is only for those with a death wish, which I thankfully do not have.
Well it's getting late and I am so exhausted that I'm starting to think this post will come off as smart and intelligent, so I better go.
P.S. I am soooooo angry! We went out to dinner with my sister to Applebees tonight, while my DVR was SUPPOSED TO BE recording my favorite shows. We got home and it had run out of space!!!! So instead of me settling in to watch the latest episode of Lipstick Jungle, it only recorded 5 MINUTES of it! Now what do I do?
