Let It Snow

 

Of all the days.... Today my friend her 2 kids, my 2 daycare kids,  along with Eric, Sam and of course me were all going to load up and go to Underwater World at the Mall of America. It hasn't really snowed here any significant amount for a couple of months and low and behold there's a Winter Weather Warning until tomorrow. Periods of 1-3 inches an hour starting at noon today. The good news is that will make for fun sledding later.

In other news Sam says his mouth hurts, hopefully that won't turn into anything. Or at least I hope he feels go enough to go out.

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan.....sigh...

EVERY morning I hear an alarm.

 EVERY morning I hear the alarm get hit.

 EVERY morning I stop at his doorway, "Jordan you really need to get up, I'm flipping on your light".

EVERY morning I hear "Oh shoot look what time it is" ....DUH! (normal time to get up is supposed to be 6:30 but turns into 6:50, bus arrives at 7:10)

This morning at 6am,  YES I said 6AM, there is Jordan trying to tell me that he can't sleep and that once he gets woke up he can't get back to sleep! Smile 

He's so full of it. Flirt male

His darling sister woke him up, told him it's a snow day and his mind started twirling. I told him to stay quiet in his room until at least 7:30 as Mom would be grumpy without her quiet time, and then I went to my morning quiet spot  to find my darling daughter watching American Idol! There's a story behind that too but I'm going to leave that one alone. My rule... unless your sick you leave mommy alone until she has some coffee and a little chat with God! Needless to say patience was on my topic list this morning! Eye rolling smile

As I type Jordan's out in the snow, been there since a little after 8, hopefully a shovel has made it's way into his hands, if not we'll get to it later. I'm sure a day of snow forts and sleds will make for a good nights sleep tonight and no doubt make getting up for school tomorrow a little difficult! Winking smile

Heaven

Image
The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
