1st day of School

Well yesterday was the first day of school and the kids were so ready to go. They all woke up early, dressed, had lunch's ready and watching the clock. I should of been home enjoying my first day without them but I wasn't. The day before I had my infusion. Now on infusion days I am supposed to lay down and do nothing, the next few days do the same. The process of the meds hitting my body just wipes me out and I have to play catch up - so after my coffee date I just slept and stayed in bed. It was so weird without them here. Hunter cried, and it was kinda hard to watch the bus go away but the hardest part was realizing the boys are one year from High School and the girls 1 year from middle school. Sad how fast the years go.

The kids are watching the muppets take manhatten and I know every song in it!

Riplie

Two days ago we brought home 2 rescue cats. One boy - Riplie, and one sister - Daisy. They are both very lovable and sweet cats. They are 5 years old and they are just so cute. Tonight were sitting down starting to watch tv after dinner and the kids rush over, "We think one of the cats is inside the wall, stuck in there", Yeah right I said just kinda laughed and tried to get comfortable, then I hear the drill going - I jump up rush over to the dining room and see Chase standing up on a  chair unscrewing the grate for the vent that is on the wall. He opens it we look in, and see nothing. I am thinking that these kids have really just lost it this time when I hear a quiet, yet desperate.......mmmmeeeeoooowwwwww. OMG I jump into action - where is he, are we sure its him - we check the hiding place and only Daisy is there so yup its him all right. I'm short really short so standing on the chair to see inside the vent just nsn't cutting it, so I put Mia on my shoulders give her a flashlight and ask her what she see's. Nothing Nothing Nothing, but the cry from Riplie gets louder. Chase comes running down the stairs - I found her I found her. She's in your bathroom vent. We run upstairs and there's the vent with a tail coming out of it. Then wait where did it go? The tail is gone and a long cry comes from the vent. We were there for almost ten minutes calling her and trying to coax her out. I was out of ideas, the kids wanted me to go rent a jack hammer and open up the floor. Since that wasn't going to happen I did the next best thing. Had Mia run over to my friend / neighbors house. Get her, two heads are better than one and I had no idea what to do. I keep using a mirror to look and see where she was and she isn't getting any closer. Linda comes in and while I'm explaining what is going on there goes the tail again, out and waving around. I look at it look at Linda "Should I pull on it" "yes.yes. yes." I gave a few hard tugs, allowed for her body to turn and come out a quick on and out she came. Put here down and she walked around like it never happened. We made sure the vent was closed this time. Just a regular night here at the Boyer residence. :)

Date Night

Every week I have a date. Some weekends  its Saturday nights and and other's its Sundays but it comes like clock work every week. My date doesn't care what I'm wearing or if I'm on time. I don't have to put my hair up. I don't pull out my make up. I take my earrings out. I don't have special shoes or a favorite purse to match. My trinkets for the night are much different. My date doesn't care if I'm wearing perfume or if I'm ready. It only cares that I'm there. My trinkets are small but many. They range in color and yes some are fancy, but trinkets they remain. Do you know what trinkets are? Trinkets are things a lady has but doesn't really want. Now every female has trinkets, some different than others but we all have them. My date requests them. My date loves my trinkets or desperately hates them I haven't figured that one out yet. My trinkets come in a blue and white container. They are labeled and sectioned off into two categories. AM or PM. For every day of every week. My trinkets are my pills. And my date is with my Lupus. The pills that keep my wolf at bay are always close to me. No matter how many times I tell myself things are normal in my life, those two times a day comes. Then my lovely date that confirms it. Day after Day..........Week after week............

Helping Out

Watching a friends kids today. I find that I really do enjoy helping friends out but sometimes its just so hard to find the means to do it. So I'm excited that I can do it for today. She's helped me out quite a few times that it makes me feel good that I can finally help her out. Getting that warm and fuzzy feeling. Not for long ( you know me :) ) but its there for a moment!

Monday

You would think that staying home as a Mom Mondays wouldn't be so bad, right not like at a job you get back in gear and Mondays suck.. Well its the same thing at home! Only you have 5 kids that want to start the week instead of one boss. I have a case of the Mondays............

Church

Went to another church today. Not exactly what were looking for. Some parts of it are and some aren't. There is no Newlife here. I hate not having a church home. I need that foundation. I know Steve is Lutheran but he doesn't come to church but once a month with his schedule. We've tried out 5 or 6 church's now. Another one next week. :(

Gibberish

ok so I wrote these long messages today and sent them via my phone, now they are coming in as gibberish. I don't know what the hell is wrong with this thing but doing things from my phone would make things so much easier if they worked!

My tomatoes have grown in so well that I'm giving them away!
