I sit here at my desk looking out the window at the cloudy Friday sky. It has been beautiful all week. Hayden and Ryan have been able to enjoy every bit of it at their nanna's house (my mom and dad). They went home with my parents last Sunday, after a day at Six Flags.
I call everyday, twice a day to check in with them. Not that they want to talk to me. Hayden tells me yesterday, "mom, can't talk now. We are working in the garden." Then he hangs up on me. I called back and Ryan told me he didn't want to come home because the dogs would miss him if he left.
Let's just say, when they are 5 and above, I figure I will never have another Summer or Spring break with them. They love it at my parents house. What kid wouldn't though? CHICKENS, COWS, DOGS, RABBITS, GOATS, 4 PONDS FOR FISHING, 4-WHEELERS, AND 30 ACRES ALL TO THEMSELVES.
They go out in the morning. Come in for lunch and head back outside. They come in as the sun is setting to take a bath, eat dinner, and go to bed.
I am so glad they will have that in their life. I think they will have the best of both worlds. A great city life here in Dallas and the country life in Oklahoma.

Crazy Tuesday
I never knew Tuesdays could be so crazy. I am so glad I took the day off.
Let me start by saying, Michael and a few of my customers complained because I was taking the day off just to take the boys to the dentist, especially since it wasnt until 1. Thank heavens I think things a little more thru than they do.
The morning started off bad because I had planned on sleeping in. Needless to say, that didn't happen. My body is now on that 5 am time clock. So I got up and got myself together, as well as a load of laundry washed and put away! Got the boys and Micheal up and off to work and school.
Now here is where we really go down hill. I had to make that miserable trip to the oral surgeons office. Needless to say, I have a great anxiety attack just before my consultation. Yes, I said consultation. Hate to see what is going to happen morning of surgery. I have to have all 4 wisdom teeth pulled as well as 3 others damaged during pregnancy. PLEASE PRAY! I have a feeling this will not go well. JUST MY THINKING! I know, put my big girl panties on!!!!
My next stop was a better one. I met with a friend for breakfast at IHOP. YA FOR PANCAKES!!!! I enjoy spending time with said friend!! We always have something to talk about!!! This particular breakfast conversation was trying to figure a way to work thru a few problems she is having. I have realized I am not as scatter brained as I thought. I think I was able to really help her out!
Now, here is where the day started to get really good, SURPRISINGLY!!!! Hayden and Ryan had a dentist appointment. Let me say I just knew this was going to be HORRIBLE!!!!!! My two little gentlemen walked into that office, sat next to me, and their visit was PERFECT!! They listened, they did not fight, they sat there perfectly for the dentist, and then we left just as quietly as we came!! I was so excited!
On the way home, they sat in their seats and talked with each other about what had just happened. It was the cutest thing ever!! Ryan has gotten to where he asks for Hayden's opinion or permission. I heard Ryan say "I was good at the dentist, right Hayden. Are you proud? " Hayden said"Yes you were. I am proud of you!"
I AM SO PROUD!

Finally Friday
Have you every thought about what it would be like if you said or did what was really on your mind? Would you choose one day and just release all of your TRUE thoughts and feelings? What would happen if you did?
I am a push over! I always have been. It has not been until here recently, that I have really thought about letting a few things out. With my husband, my boss (good luck with that one), the lady in the office that will not leave me alone, the car that cuts you off in traffic, and the dentist who tells you they just have to pull your wisdom teeth, even though they are not the problem!
But really, how do you go about doing it? If I think about what I should say, that would defeat the purpose because once again I probably not tell them exactly how I feel!! If I say what I really feel, I may end up divorced and looking for a new job with a very swollen mouth!!
Maybe this is the reason I was born with a very active conscious. I have gone for the past 27 years with a closed lip, maybe I should just keep it that way! But darn it, I sure would like to give it a try. At least for that one day!
