7 days without D

Good day today if you dont mention the word Walmart.
I already hate the place, why cant I remember I hate it even more with 4 kids along?
No mental breakdown unless I think of that part of the day.



Regret:I cant even think about it, dont want the breakdown.



N,Z,T, &S: Enjoyed a free lunch at the nearby middle school cafeteria. N. calls it the cafeterrible. He better get used to it, theres no lunch like a free one(including the cleanup). Started the local library summer reading program, snagged some DVDs and played some Magic School Bus on the computers. T. ate 3 tacos for dinner, he must be growing or something.



T. playing with his buddy. I love their body language. Cant you just see the dissapointment on the red heads face that T. wont play her game, but the standing straight forward telling him she is mad? Also T.'s shoulder, arm and face turned to tell her he is ignoring her pleading but still wants to play? They agreed on "dead man come alive" as the name of the next game but were actually playing crack the egg. Funny.


S. should be totally happy, she has two plugs for goodness sakes! I guess she needed 3.



Showing off their movie choices. S.'s was whatever the kids didn't rip out of her hands. She didn't care, just that she got something.

N. has outgrown the kids computer games(although he still peeks to see if he can help) and is more interested in silly or strange looking books. He has been cracking us up the last few days with his giggle. We watched a baby animal documentary movie that had a chapter on "killer mice" , he must have laughed for 10 minutes. He had us all laughing. The best is when he thinks things like the koolaid puddle S. made by getting her own drink from the table is funny and can get mom to admit its humerous instead of a big sticky mess.



Loving our life even without daddy.
T. saves him some food everynight just in case he comes home sooner than we tell him.
We all wish it were sooner.
