Preschool

Well it's official Zachary is signed up for Preschool! He has been in a neighborhood co-op preschool this year which has been fun for him. We signed him up at the same preschool that Alex went to and after telling Alex that Alex said "He is going to learn SO MUCH!" I just wish it was more then 2 days a week but oh well!

Library money

Yesterday we got home from church and Alex found a dime on the floor, he picked it up and said "it's my library money!" So of course I was confused and had to ask him what "Library Money" was. He said "it says library on it", now I don't spend a lot of time staring at coins but I was pretty sure that the dime didn't say library on it so I had him hand it to me. I realized he was reading "Liberty" as "Library" so I told him that it said liberty and he got all frustrated with me. "No mom I don't hear a 'Y' in liberty it has to be library so I was trying to explain the y sound at the end and he wouldn't believe me. I am not real great with the whole "phonics" thing so maybe I wasn't explaining it right so for now liberty is library.

Ah man...

So I am morning the loss of my Apple headphones, they have magically disappeared and I am devastated. Why is it a big deal? It really shouldn't be but the fact of the matter is there is this nifty little button on the cord that allows you to pause/play your music (or in my case audio book) and also lets you to change the volume. This feature is very nice when you are cleaning and don't want to have to pull your i-pod out of your pocket, unlock it, go to the i-pod menu and pause it. I mean really! (yes I am that lazy). Sigh... well off to clean...

P.S. looking at the photo I grabbed I realized this is the picture of the nicer Apple headphones. I wish mine had the squishy stuff on them.

What happened?

Alex came home from school yesterday and he had ovbiously had a bloody nose (Zach is my bloody nose prone child so I wouldn't have though anything of it if it was him) Apparently he "fell down the bumpy slide" he didn't seemed to tramatized by it. His teacher did message me later to ask how he was doing. Ah boys...

Patience is a virtue!

Which I do not have. This is one of my biggest tests in life! I have gone to the temple looking for answers and many times have come home with the simple thought of "Patience". This whole subject comes up because I have been sick for what feels like weeks from one thing to another and some of it probably self inflicted (trying to stop drinking caffene, change in medications etc.). My new year started off with a "ugh" instead of a bang. All of this let up to a series of thoughts last night in the middle of the night, when I was lying there trying to decide if my brain was going to explode right out of my skull (sorry for the graphic image but thats how I felt). Why does everything have to be so complicated for me? Why can't A+B=C? Why does everything have to be a series of complex calculations? The answer... patience. Now I don't have major problems and I am greatful for that, my "problems" are simple and are not even on the blip of most people's radar. I don't mean to complain, just venting out of pure tiredness (odd considering I spent basically the last 21 hours in bed) and frustration. I know this too shall pass and things will get back to "normal" hopefully sooner then later but until then, I just have to keep reminding myself... Patience.
