Thoughts of the day...

I love blue skies, especially when it's relief from smoke. We can finally go out and play and not feel like we're breathing in toxins all day long. My kids are on the mend from having strep throat but I need help. Andrew is a very sweet boy... most of the time but tell him no or if the kids take a toy he is out for blood. I've never had such an aggressive child and I am disciplining and staying on top of it but it's only dealing with the moment and doesn't seem to be sticking. He says sorry after I put him on the naughty chair but I'm kind of stressed about the long term behavior. Hopefully it's just a terrible 2's thing and will taper off as he gets older but if you have any ideas let me know. I'm open for criticism, advice, whatever!
In the meantime we are in full swing of summer with our garden producing delicious veggies and finally tomatoes that are just mouth watering. We had BLT's yesterday and they were excellent. Even Tyler who hates tomatoes had some. He made a funny face as he was doing it but he still ate them. If you have any ideas for me on the Andrew issues let me know, and as soon as possible would be better than later!

Under Construction!

Don't mind the the pattern clashing going on. I'm just havinga little bit of fun. We got back from our trip to Disneyland today so I'll be posting all the fun sometime this week. I just have to get Trev off to scout camp in the morning so after that we should be back to normal. Happy Father's day to everyone!

How To Play This Game of Tag:
Post these rules on your blog.List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog!

3 Joys
1. When I pick up my kids from school they run to me and jump and I have to catch them or else I'd get plowed down, it's dangerous but they are the light of my life.
2. Going on a date with my husband.
3. Helping someone that really could use the help and they are appreciative of the help. I've been there in most cases.

3 Fears
1. Having someone close to me die. (Parents, siblings, spouse, kids, a little morbid I know)
2. One of my kids getting hurt. (ie Grace breaking her leg)
3. Failing as a mother. ( At least in a marriage you can almost always work through it, w/ kids the smallest most insignificant thing could happen and it would affect them forever)

3 obsessions/ collections
1. Having cleanly groomed eyebrows.
2. It used to be biting my nails but I recently kicked that habbit
3. Cleaning, I don't mean for it to be and you wouldn't know it, but when my house is dirty I can't function.

3 Goals
1. Run a 5K. (Just did that on memorial day)
2.Go back to school some day and get my degree
3. Lose weight, It's gonna take a whole lot of dieting because exercising alone is not working out too well.

3 random/surprising facts about myself
1. I love musicals, theater, rocking out with my kids to music.
2. I live for vacations, we have one coming up but it's a surprise to my kids so I'll tell you after it happens if you can't allready guess.
3.I am a Dental Assistant ( not working currently do to my lifelong full time job, mom)
