Good Morning!!
Well it is morning now anyway. The boys need to be on the bus in 20 minutes so this will be a quick one.
I have a birthday coming up and most of the time birthdays are really fun and I don't mind getting older. However yesterday I had a little moment that said I am getting old but I am not old.
My BF has been having health issues lately and compared to me she hardly ever sees doctors. Any way the point is things get serious really fast and it doesn't seem like we should be seeing so many specialists at our age. The next thing that hit me was at the bus stop waving to N and my arm fat was a jiggling away..ugh!!!! So by then I was feeling old....and then someone at work was telling me about there 37 year old daughter having her first baby. I said to myself "Hey I can still have babies---stop feeling so old" So the point I am making is that I am getting older and that is okay. . . enjoy the "age" you are. So I am going to enjoy the age I am an celebrate with delight the fact I am here --even if it will be a low fat celebration (thank you gallbladder).
Enjoy the "age" you are today---

BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Well---let's try this again folks.
It has been nearly a year since I have tried this blog thing.
Too much to catch up on....so here is the short version. A is doing better with school but still not doing well growing. Nathan is growing and has caught on to the reading thing. The School Year ends in a few short weeks. I am still working at a LQS and have found that my body no longer likes fatty foods (thus a trip to the OR to have my gallbladder removed which will happen a few weeks after school gets out). D is still the greatest husband in the whole world and I am thankful he puts up with me.
So what's up....My cousin and his wife have intrusted me with their youngest child for the night while they attend an "adult" wedding. They recently did not celebrate their own wedding anniversary, so keeping a child so they could have this night seems the least we could do (and I do mean we) I worked until 4 pm and D. kept the little tyke from 1pm until I got home. A and N were his helpers though.
Yesterday was the second meeting of the Hand Applique Group at the LQS where I work. I am really glad Darlene made the suggestion to the owner. It is fun to see everyone's projects especially now that I have really gotten into Hand Applique after taking the class in February. I have several projects going. I will get with my hubby tomorrow and maybe finally figure out this whole picture in a blog thing.
Dinner: Papa John's pizza (one slice because that is all my gallbladder will take)

Monday Madness
I went away for the weekend. DH kept the boys Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday. My husband ROCKS!!! Not only were the kids alive and fed...but my house looked like I had never left and he did 2 loads of laundry, folks!!! He's mine---and I'm keeping him!!!
However during the weekend, the summer finally kicked in for the boys and they got "bored" and grouchy. They have bickered all morning long and I just sent them to sit on their beds. Holy Toledo-KNOCK IT OFF!!!
I went to a quilting retreat. 8 women, 8 sewing machines, fabric, food, and a fantastic retreat site. It was a blast. We played Left, Center, Right with "Fat Quarters" and that was a riot.
Well I think I will release the boys from time out and head to swimming lessons.
Monday Dinner: Chicken Tender Stir-Fry (thank you Ms. Davis for the recipe) and Oreo Delight (thank you Candi)

Fantastic Friday
It's Friday----and for most of you hard working fellows it means the end of the work week.
For me it means we are a day closer to the start of school. Yeah I know it is still 10 weeks away but any small movement towards the goal is indeed movement. The boys actually haven't been extremely terrible (yet). They are not real happy with the the fact that they still have to do "school" work. TOO BAD BUBBAS! I know I am the "MEAN" Mom, but I remember what the beginning of school was like last year and I am not going through that with A. again. "My hand hurts"---"I'm tired of writing". How about a little cheese with that whine?
So this summer is a little bit of work and a little bit of play and we will see what the rest holds based on the behavior of the Bubbas.
Today I took them out to do errands. While not trying too think to much about the price of gas for the trip....I warned them that they were to behave in each store and keep there hands to themselves (apparently this is a lot harder than I remember it being when I was a kid). They each got one warning and then some sort of discipline ensued. For N. it was a time out. For A. it is to copy a times table 5 times (because he is not memorizing his times tables). A. has figured out which of the times tables are the easiest and always asks if he can choose those (1's,2's, 5's, 10's, and 11's)--which I always say "No---because obviously you have those memorized and need to work on the others" . Any way A. is having a friend over this afternoon. So at least he will be excited about something.
A. had his weight check yesterday. He has gained weight but not as much as they would've liked and they are sceptical that his height from last time was correct because they don't think he could have grown 2 cm in 6 weeks. While he is looking taller--2 cm is a a lot for that period of time.
Friday night dinner---Tequila Lime Turkey Tenderloin and bean burritos. YUM!!!!

MONDAY MONDAY-MEMORIAL DAY
Well we could try this again---I totally dropped off the face of the earth.
Just to busy with life. A. has been to multiple specialists to see why he isn't growing. Turns out there is no "medical" reason. However through an endcrinologist, a gastroenterologist, and a nutritionist he is gaining weight.
Feeding him is a full day..... 3 meals, 3 snacks, 1 to 2 supplement shakes---good fats, lots of proteins, calorie dense food. Now that school is out for the summer it should be a bit easier. School was also a chore for him this year and hopefully we will keep on track with "summer" work this summer so that the flow into 4th grade won't be as hard.
N. is now a 1st grader. Sadly we are done with Kindergarten. I had a very hard time saying goodbye to the kindergarten teacher. It was the same with the preschool teacher.... we know that we are done with these things . There is no child to follow behind N. Very sad.....but I still don't see another Moore in the future.
Well tomorrow is the first full day of summer break.....A. has Karate and N. will go to tomorrow nights class. We will tape Deadliest Catch to watch the next night.
Monday Dinner- Pork Chops (from the Pork Shop), seasoned potatoes, green beans and watermelon.

Scattered Saturday
Holy Toledo---How long has it been since I posted???
Well I've been ill and we've all been a wee bit busy. I finally caught the virus that has been going around. It seems to be stuck in my sinuses and ear...which means I will probably get an ear infection. 32 year olds aren't supposed to get ear infections.
A. seems to be doing a little bit better at school. At the PTSO meeting the announced "SnapGrades" which essentially the teacher's grade book is now online and I will know what A. is doing and what assignments he has or has not turned in. A.'s teacher will also know when I have checked to look. Can any one say "BIG BROTHER"? Actually I guess I don't mind this. I think it is going to be more stressful for teachers than less stressful.
A. also started Karate this week. The class is really late. He will be up past regular bedtime. But he enjoys doing it and I feel like that it should continue so lateness will be excused this time and only this time.
N.'s teacher "got me" when I took in snacks last Friday. I ended up with 2 projects when I left. Crazy!!! But totally fun. It is so fun to get into the Kindergarten class.
So my parents are on their way to NEBRASKA for a week. My brother is going to sell his place and he needed help getting the place cleaned up sooooo this is how my parents spend their vacation time.
My cousin Val's boyfriend died this week suddenly of heat stroke. They were having the viewing today. I was torn between going and not going. The drive was long and since my parents are gone I didn't feel comfortable staying at their house. I know Val will understand but still I probably should have ditched the birthday party to go today. But seeing as how I wasn't feeling 100% and the list of things I need to is a mile long we decided not to make the drive. It is incredibly sad when someone young dies. 44 years old! TOO YOUNG!!
Today's Dinner Plan--Frozen Spaghetti sauce (sorry but dinner out last night, don't feel up to cooking---resorting to freezer meals)

Wacky Wednesday ...Already???
I can't believe it is Wednesday. N. was truly sick....I took him back to the doctor Monday morning. Diagnosis: Croup. So he has been home the last couple of days from school. Apparently he wasn't the only one. When I exchanged emails with his teacher yesterday, she mentioned 6 kids were out. (Note on the side---email is a beautiful things. Keeping up with teachers is so easy. What did people do in the dark ages???)
So what else has been going on???? My sewing machine decided it didn't like me trying to make buttonholes. It had a fit and when I took it for repair....my trusty repair women is away for a week. So I am out of commission for the week. Oh well! I can catch up on hand sewing, quilting on my Handiquilter and read.
I am going to volunteer tomorrow in A's class...although it is likely he will have a substitute as his teacher had to leave class today.
What I am reading: Dark Tort by Diane Mott Davidson
What was for Dinner: Orange/Adobe Pork Chops (from the freezer) and Rice Pilaf with peas.
