Ever Have A Day Like This?


Henry has been loving kindergarten.  He thinks it is awesome, he loves going to school, he loves playing with the other kids and he loves learning.  In addition to going to kindergarten Henry goes to work with me in the morning.  Where he does his perfect impression and is very well behaved.  He has no desire to go to the day care offered at the pool so he hangs out on deck with the lifeguards or he gets in the water and takes a lesson or two.


(Ok not a picture at the pool I work at, but a picture of Henry in a pool, it totally counts)

So do you know what happens to Henry when he has these full days?  He gets tired. Very, very, very tired.  But he is to cool for naps. He is to cool to go to bed before all the big kids go to bed. He is to cool to admit that he is tired.

So he does the following.  Be aware that I am spilling dirty laundry here.  I am letting you know that my perfectly adorable impression of perfection is ummmm not so perfect. He like other kids his age gets tired and then does this:


Last night I said go to bed or I am going to take pictures of you throwing a fit and post it on the blog.

He just kept doing this.



It was a tragedy you see that caused this.  Andrew had bumped into him.  I had Andrew flogged but this just continued. Until he realized that I was just going to keep taking pictures.  Then he ran away and went to bed.  Before the big kids. Happy Days

When he woke up this morning he looked like this.  


Perfect Henry was back. So people here is my first question, why is it that we spend the whole of our youth avoiding naps at all cost (even when we need them) and as an adult the only thing we can imagine is the bliss of a long undisturbed nap? My second question, why is it when I have long tiring days nobody makes me go to bed early? 

PS  I just have to say this I do have an awesome mom who puts up with the Krissi you don't meet much in this blog. I have to say she gets the raw end of the deal but I don't know what I would do without her.

It's funny how kids wake up and they forget how angry they were the night before. He is so cute!

You're right! There are so many days that I wish I could be sent to my room by myself and have no one allowed to talk to me. It would be so glorious.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...
