Food confusion

Owen has had some trouble identifying food. When Dairy Queen opened for the Spring (it's one that just serves ice cream so it closes in the cold weather months) I told the kids we'd go. They were excited and telling me what they'd order. Owen said he wanted banilla (notice the b) ice cream in a cup with a lid and a straw where you drink it. Oh, a milkshake!

Last week there was a sale at Kroger on all the Cheetos and Fritos. We got chili cheese Fritos (my fav!) and two kinds of Cheetos. The puffed kind and the crunchy kind. Because I'm all about healthy snacks. One evening Owen asked for some Cheetos. Then he said the kind that are a line, not the curved. Oh, crunchy!

Yesterday (a mere five minutes after dinner) he asked for those little square brown things in a bowl that he thinks are called Golden Grahams. Oh yes, Golden Grahams!




Totally off subject, but it's 11:00 and I am already totally stressed out. The two classes I'm taking are A LOT of work and requires more thinking than I have done in 14 years. I have fought with my computer for days to get important things to download and I just this morning FINALLY figured out what was wrong. (No thanks to the two computer tech people I've talked to for hours. Thank the Lord and Google for me figuring it out.) I have laundry and dishes to do, the kids are all in their swim clothes wanting to go to the pool, I need to do class work, and the house needs cleaned. So, I better get to it!

AND! Happy Birthday to my friends Rosie and Nellie!! Have a great day girls!

Movies are stressing me out

We got a free month of Netflix. We get up to three movies at a time and when we send those back, we get more. It's totally stressing me out. I feel like I have something else I have to do. I don't have time to watch them when the kids are awake, so that only leaves after the kids go to bed, or when Chloe and Owen are at school and Phoebe is napping. Today while Phoebe napped I tried to watch 27 Dresses. I laid Phoebe down and hurried and made some potato soup for dinner and threw some laundry in to wash, then turned on the movie. I watched a little bit of it and the phone rang. Then Phoebe woke up before it went off. I kept watching with her on my lap, but then it was time for the bus. I finally finished the end of it after dinner. I've enjoyed some of the movies, and I mostly stay up late to watch them, but then I'm tired because I have to get up at 6:00. I've rented a couple for the kids, one of which Chloe reminded me we already own. So the verdict is, I'm not renewing after my free month. It's too much pressure.
