Kids ....Sigh...

So my Question is what possesses a smart 10 year old boy to cut his own bangs all the way to the skin?
There are something’s your kids do that you will never understand. Two nights ago Zack got out of bed and came into my room when I was in bed too and asked me to cut his bangs cause they were too long. Seeing as we had spent the entire evening doing nothing and I didn't feel good I told him I would do it tomorrow but I wasn't getting out of bed to trim his bangs.
I guess I should have gotten up. :(
So when he got home yesterday I noticed his bangs were not in his face but I just thought he had pulled them back (he'd done it before), later I realized that he had cut his bangs himself, not all of them and definitely not well but just a chunk in the front all the way down to the skin. Can you say Pissed?
I ended up having to chop off quite a bit of hair all over his head just to make it look OK. I will put the before and after pictures up later.

3 DAYS AND COUNTING

Day 3 of blogging. Wow it's a miracle.
I am feeling much better than yesterday and hopefully I will stay that way.
Yesterday in light of my over all ickiness, I called Taryn and asked her to make at least the meat portion of Dinner. We have a Family recipe that we call Swiss steak but honestly I don't know what it is. We usually just brown the round steak on the stove then add Cream of Mushroom soup and cover and let it cook for a while. Unfortunately it can come out tough sometimes. But through a Store program I just got a Dutch oven so I decided to try that. I had Taryn brown the meat and then put the soup and a can of water in the pan then baked it at 325 for 2 hours with the lid on then another 30 minutes with the lid off to reduce the sauce. It was soo tender and yummy I don't think we will make it any other way from now on. Maybe next time I will add potatoes and an extra can of soup and make it a one pot dinner. The best part about the whole thing was that other than making flaked mashed potatoes I didn't have to do anything.

Other than dinner yesterday was a total blur of ickiness and since it is not yet 9 am nothing much has happened yet today. Hopefully I will see you tomorrow.

Sick and Tired

Well I am fighting a cold right now but it has much better fire power. Think Bazooka vs foam bat. I coughed so hard yesterday that I sent my back into spasms. But I am at work today miserable and exhausted trying to keep my eyes focused and my head up.
Taryn has Finals this week so actually she has today off school. She was complaining about being home alone but didn't want to come to work for me. Ungreatful kid.
Wish me luck got to go back to working.

Is anyone reading this?

Probably not since I really suck at remembering to right very often. So I will just say things are ok, not great, life is progressing at it's usual pace and crud level. The kids are fine and doing good in school and I am still at my hated job. My mom had to get a newer car and my haven't even gotten Tax refund is allocated for boring stuff already.

Now that was fun

Bye Bye
