Vida Loca

We have a ritual for every night when I get home. First I go into Her Highness' bedroom and tuck her in then we wander up to wake up Z and E for mid night potty break and I go and give A a hug and a smooch. That being a pretty much every night sort of thing, I think A has pretty much trained himself to a be a light sleeper for around the time of night because he is usually hard to wake up. So what do I do with a kid that is a light sleeper when he has lost a tooth and is expecting a monetary gift for said tooth? This is my solution:

Dearest Alexander~
I am sorry I didn't leave your treat under your pillow. Bruce and Abby wanted to play with my wings! :) Congratulations on losing your tooth! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. If you see Santa, please tell him I said hello.

XOXO

I am freaking brilliant. If I was smart I would have put a line in there about brushing and flossing your teeth but hey it was eleven o'clock at night and you are lucky I spelled everything correctly! =)

I cannot believe it is already the 11th of December! I blink and lose yet another day. Yes, last week was our anniversary and what can I say? These last few years have been amazing and I wouldn't trade a single moment. Well, maybe the time I fell down the stairs but really, ouch! =) I have come to think of my husband as one of those chocolates you get in the assorted chocolate boxes. He has a really hard crunchy outside but his has a sweet gooey inside, and he is REALLY good at hiding that gooey inside. =) What can I say, I love him.

Ok gotta get a kid out to the bus, in 17 degree weather. ~sigh~ I love winters in Maine. ~sigh~

Well.

Its gonna snow today, and the term crapload has been used a few times. Great fun.

The chickens were pissed and out of water this morning, well they had water but since it was in the form of ice, they were not pleased. And when chickens have no water they don’t lay eggs, the chincy buggers.

So today’s list included doing a lot of stuff outside I should have done when it was warm but I didn’t do cause I was to lazy and or busy doing other things. Guess the chicken house needed a heater huh.

Might also be a good plan to clean up the yard and stuff while we can still see what is there. At least I think all 3 snow blowers are running good, but I won’t really know till I blow some snow with em. I have 3 all old and tired but every fall I haul em to the shop and get em all running good and by spring at least one is still running usually. Not the best system, but I have about $50.00 in all three including yearly parts so beats the heck out of getting plowed at 50$ a whack.

So. Few more days till our anniversary. Sitting here I really do not know how many years it has been, I actually have to count. Sad but not sad. It has in the cosmic way of things only been a short time, but it feels like forever and in a good way. And except for the bimonthly full moons where the wife just goes mental for a few days she is the best thing ever.

Kids are so SO SO busy getting into things and bugging each other at times it is mind boggling. But they could be worse. In other words they are kids.

Ok well done my post a month I guess.. Amazing to look back at my life years ago and what it is now. Just amazing.
