Ben was sick last week and now he is back to his happy, giggly, messy self. Sam is sick this week. I would rather my almost 5 year old be sick than my almost 2 year old. Not that I want Sam to be sick but he just lays around, rests, and is willing to be cuddled. Ben cried and was irritable, constantly. Any questions.
I went to the school this morning to get the Read-A-Thon daily prizes organized. The principal forgot to draw the winners and announce them. Tomorrow I'm going to do it for her and give her a written note to read and hope it gets done correctly tomorrow. If you want something done right....
I went to Brad's office after the school. I didn't have much to do. Tobie showed me the inventory list we have to do for tax purposes. I really hate stuff like that. We'll do it later.
We had someone come over tonight and talk about renovations on the new house. I wonder how we will pay for them? Cash or loans. Now or later. convenience or total inconvenience.
I miss Rochester's library. A LOT! My new one only lets me check out 50 books at a time. Can I get a gold card for the library. They don't know who they are dealing with. 50 books at a time; what a joke!
I reread Twilight. It was better the second time. Just like the movie.
I spent Monday cleaning my house. I got rid of all the little clutter piles that mysteriously appear around the house. Today you could never tell that that was how I spend President's day.
Yesterday Ben wrote on the wall with a pencil and on my computer screen with a pen. Brad said that he was lucky it happened while he was at work.
When Rick came over this evening he asked Emily what grade she was in. Her reply, "I'm in first but I read at third."
Ben loves to wear shoes. Especially mine, Brad's, Emily's and Sam's.
I took a nap today and I didn't even feel guilty about it. It was lovely. Unfortunately, the kids made a mess in my office. It was worth it.
I made dinner tonight (shock!) and everyone loved it and ate it (shock again!!). Emily even gave me a hug for making the best dinner ever. Hawaiian Haystacks: 2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed added to 2 cans of cream of chicken. Dilute with milk to desired consistency. Serve over rice. Top with Chinese noodles, cheddar cheese, olives and add a dash of lemon juice. Emily will have the left overs for lunch tomorrow.
I love Emily's lunchbox-sized thermos. It keeps food hot or cold. Makes packing a lunch much more imaginative.
Even though I had a nap today, I'm going to bed now. Thanks for reading my random thoughts. I should do more posts like this. So easy!

My family enjoys Hawaiian haystacks too. We put carrots, celery, tomatoes, pineapple, raisins, green onion, olives, and Chinese noodles on ours. It sounds weird, especially the raisins, but it is very good. I love to read about your life. Good luck with the library thing, that would be rough.
I agree 100% with the library complaint. Muncie only let us have 50 books too...it took some adjusting.
Tessa scribbled on our computer screen years ago. It wasn't a good day for Scott either.
Has Emily read "Half Magic" (Not to be confused with "The Magic Half" which I DON'T recommend)? Tessa's really enjoying it.
I always loved Hawaiian haystacks as a child. I should try it with my kids!
I have library woes too. Ours is so small my kids are even complaining!
I think it's fun to read your ramblings, not enough for their own posts, but something you just want to write.
We love our library, but have the same check out limits. That is why Abbi, Lily, Jeff, and I all have cards!
My random musings on your random musings...
Sorry to hear you still have sick kids!
I laughed out loud thinking about who the library is dealing with!
Amen to the wasted President's Day. Maybe you can put your house in a glass bubble after you clean it.
We need to have a Twilight book club... I can't believe you could take the movie twice. Did it really get better the second time? I had a hard time with it. But I do love the book. Have you read all of them yet?
I love Porter's lunch size thermos container too. So does he.
You need to do posts more like this. It's fun getting a random glimpse into a day in the life...
Great post Jenni! We were all sick the week of Valentines. No fun at all. It's really making the rounds. I still can't understand you Twilight fans. I have given that book 2 tries and can never get through it. Dreadfully dull and boring stuff to me. (I can relate to the pen incident...Check out my blog for our computer screen mishap :-)
