Ok I know all you people out there who know me are going "it took you this long to figure that out".. seriously I think I need to go to BA ( bloggers anonymous) .. Ok stop laughing I am serious. Last night I was dreaming of what I was going to blog today. How weird is that.. and here is the ting I only remember snippets of it so I can't even use what I was dreaming about. Which really stinks because I know I was on a big ole soap box about something but don't remember what..
so If any of you other fellow bloggers out there ( and you know who you are) want to join me in this endeavor come on... Hi, My name is MeLissa and I have a blogging problem.

4 day weekend and its cold!!!
Ok... just to set the record straight I was so looking forward to a 4 day weekend. We had it all planned out. Friday we were going to play and go to the movies and pack, Saturday we were going to go to Landry's basketball game and then head out of town for 3 day of mud running and good old fashion family fun. So the first kink in this way to thought out plan was when our friends called Friday and said they had to skip.. Why you ask.. Because the kid ( who got the Flu shot) now has the flu... YUCK... Yep your right your not going with us. ( that is me being a supportive, loving friend) .. Not to be too foiled with our plans, we said ok no biggie we are still going. Then what do you know the weather man LIED to us.. Out and out LIED.. not very nice Mr. Weather man. Have you ever tried to tell a 7 year old his trip has been cancelled because the mud he was sooooo looking forward to is now frozen mud... Not fun!!!
Ok so super mom to the Rescue. That's right she can think fast, she can modify, she can cram a lot of crap into a 4 day weekend!!! So here it is......
Thursday ... Kids get out of school at 1:30.. Toad ( that would be the husband) doesn't get off work until 8:00... hmm what to do what to do... movie nope too short... hmm BONKERS.. yep BONKERS sounds great ... SO 4 kids loaded up and we are off to Bonkers. First stop half price book so mommy can get a book on what to do with boy #1 .. Then off to Bonkers..
This place is AMAZING!!!!! we LOVED it!! It was a huge indoor playground. We were there almost 4 hours. Yep 4 hours of entertainment for $5 a piece!! gotta love that!!! It is their new favorite place. There was maybe 10 other kids in there. I got to sit and read and they ran until they were about to fall over. Ok they ran until 6:30 when they decided they had to eat. So off to cici B/c where else can you feed 4 hungry kids for $15 !!!
Friday.. Time to build the dendrites...
Those of you who know me know I am obsessed with learning/teaching my children. If we have an extra day of school we are off to a play, the symphony, doing some type of science experiment or at a museum. Friday seemed like a good day to go to the science place. Its a Children's Museum in fair park. We love the ft. Wroth Children's Museum but they are closed. So Off to fair park. It was ok .. not great .. I was very underwhelmed. Landry did learn a little about gravity and light. Luke not so much. Landry figured out that the "reason airplanes fly is the air goes around the wings and pulls the airplane up instead of air going under and pushing it up."
They both had a great time with the monster bubbles, so did daddy.
Saturday... Basketball game... They won!!! they always win!! ( It's Upwards.. They don't keep score) Off to the boat show in Ft. Worth. It was fun. Made us want a boat. Gave us some ideas to do with our/my dads motor home. Home to go to church ( yep on Saturday night, I'm still under the delusion we are going 4 Wheeling in the morning)
Sunday... Wind Chill of 19 degrees.. hmmm .. Rethink the whole getting wet and going fast in the weather concept.
What to do ... EKKK .. What to do.... Grandpa is here to go 4 Wheeling .. What to do... BONKERS !! Yep load up 4 kids, 1 teenager, 1 Old man and off to bonkers. ( ok so my dad is not THAT old, he did get in the playground and play tag with the kids and myself and actually caught me several times. Not real sure what to say about that.. We play another 4 hours!!! go home and watch the game.
Monday... Take kids to Dr. Ear infections. 3 out of 4 .. not good... Oh well.. Run a few errands and home again home again. That's it in a nut shell. So next 4 day weekend better be pretty weather b/c this entertaining them all the time stuff.. not so much....

The day of Appt. and answers.
So seriously .. why is it when you schedule ( OK maybe your smarter than me and don't do this) back to back appt. that no one is ever on time and they all run late!! Parent teacher Conf. we could have talked for another 30 minutes. The good news all is well with the world of school.. YIPEE!! Off to the new head shrinker.. I really liked her, she made since She said things that made you go aha. She helped us understand our sweet, precious,adorable, hard to understand little boy. Yes!! someone to help!! YIPEE!! Ok get out of there late b/c we had a million questions and she actually had answers.. WOW ! what a concept. ( this is shrink #4 since May) and she gave us a book to help us understand our little boy better.
So From there off to grab said little ball of joy from school.. we are headed tot he ENT. First most important stop, We NEED a milkshake. Ok so we can be 5 minutes late no biggie. We NEED a milkshake. (anyone wonder why he is the way he is needs to see exhibit A, me)
So Milkshake in hand we run into the office, ignore the sign that says no food or drinks and sign in. The long and short of that was we get to have tonsil and adenoids out. YIPEE!! 10 days of recoup time!! UGHH!!!.
Then we rush from there, Said little joy is thrown his Karate pants and we speed down the road to Karate. We get there 10 minutes late. They will not let him join class. We look at the schedule. There is another class in 35 minutes. Off to McD's b/c the milkshake could only go so far and it is 5:00 by now ( this all started at 11:30). Go back to Karate and breathe. We did it the day is done. Everything accomplished. WHoosh. now lets plan Thursday.

NBA here we come!!!!
Ok maybe not.. Today was Landrys First Upwards game of the season. He did a good job. He had an Asthma attack after the first 6 minutes. In Upward they play 6 6 minute quarters. We love Upwards. Landrys favorite part is when they call his name. They have all the kids line up outside the gym then they play some music have a fog machine and strobe lights and call each kid out one by one and they run across the floor to their team. Its a great program that is centered around learning and Christ not around competition. Landry always thinks his team wins. They get stars for sportsmanship, and memory versus and trying not for points. The stars they put on their uniforms. Not to brag on my hubby, but last year my hubby was first time coach for this and he won coach of the year!!! I think 2 straight might be pushing it.
Side note: one of the parents doesn't want to have snacks after the game?! I want a vote, do you think snacks after a sporting event?
Yea or Nay.. I'll let you know the results..
