I looked on a chart and he is within
normal for height and weight for his
age So I wont worry too much,
I just remember before when he lost a pound
and the dr made a big deal about making sure not to let him lose weight

it's official I am the worst mother ever

when we were at the zoo, I noticed my boy jumping around in the water of the sprinklers

Gosh he looks pretty thin

So when we got home I made him stand on the scale.
It was Shocking! I truly gasped out loud when I saw how much he weighs

apparently he has not been eating food, and hiding it! I did notice that he has not been asking for seconds
I did notice he was thin, but how thin?


So I took him off his ADHD medication and I put in an email to his Developmental Pediatrician, it is so hard to get in to see her really


Now today I am looking over pictures of the summer and Man I didn't notice how thin he was way back

*sigh*

What the heck is wrong with me?

:(

The electric company

I wish it was still on tv

they used to play it on one of the nick channels at night and I would tivo it

my kids love it!

about Mosquitoes and a recipe for Mojito chicken

in an effort to rid my yard of mosquitoes the DPW is trying to increase the flow of the water


Ok it didn't work before


if there is something blocking the flow of the water at the bottom of the yard, then digging holes at the top of the yard will only increase the flow into the yard, will it increase the flow OUT of the yard?
no, just like it didn't increase the flow out of the yard the last time they did it. :(

should you tell them about the laws of gravity or should I?

meanwhile I am here the mosquitoes are everywhere

what is a mom to do, but have "cook out/eat ins"

Oh here is my


fantastic mojito chicken recipe

1 bottle of Bacardi mojito Malt Beverage
McCormick grill mates Chicken rub
Some dried mint leaves (optional)
salt and pepper to taste (there is salt in the rub so be careful)

a pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts



marinate the chicken in 1/2 the beverage

fire up the grill

sprinkle on the rub (you can rub a lot on it, but my kids find that too much so I just sprinkle a bit on each side)
sprinkle on the mint


put chicken on the hot grill and pour a little of the drink on the chicken (be careful rum is flammable) or you can just be safe and drink the drink while you are grilling the chicken, that works too :)

I'm telling you my kids gobble this up
don't worry the rum cooks away :)

enjoy!

pbj and Moo

Dh left tonight for a short business trip

it's always so hard on Messy
she was screaming at me to make her daddy come back home :(

I told her " instead of screaming you can draw a picture of what you want to say to daddy and I will email it to him" oddly enough she did

Now I did help her with the letters here, she told me what to say and I told her what letters to write..her "H" looks like a sidewards "E" LOL

Oh in the world of paper and crayons
does anyone know if paper with crayon drawings is compostable? I did some searching and I found one site that said it was ok, and one that said it wasn't :)
any idea?

thanks

well here I am a new woman

I have my new glasses
I will not give up on them, but my first reaction after two hours is that I HATE them LOL

but I will give it some time
I am an old dog who has trouble learning new tricks

OK reading from the bottom of the lens
computer from the middle of the lens
far away from the top

can I write the cheat sheet on the back of the new glasses?

kidding :)

I have not dared to use my camera

as a matter of fact I have that queasy feeling you get with new glasses sometimes
only more because I keep looking out at things the wrong way :)


here is a pic form the zoo last week
Messy loves the seals and they seem to love her :)

too bad I messed up most of the pictures

---------------------------------------

the rain zaps my energy
I wish I could take a nap

You know I was curious after getting some not so nice comments at the zoo when my kiddos were jumping the puddles.

Do you let your kids jump in puddles?

or do you think it's disgusting?
I have always let my kids jump in puddles

but now the therapist lady from Messy's school wants to work on getting her to stay away from puddles..I can see where she doenst understand the difference of my letting her play in a puddle and her running to a puddle on the play ground

but it will be hard to say NO!


The lady form the school says it's unsanitary and disgusting

when I was a kid you jsut jumped in puddles
everyone did it and you all got muddy and your mom gave you a bath
the world is different now
