Psalm 73:28 : Just a Monday

Well today was a nice day...NOT - or that's how I could see it I guess. Cold, rainy, late start to the morning.

In all honesty, I LOVE the rain, and having two little boys to enjoy it with sure makes it nicer!

So, last night..

I went to bed, or should I say got in bed at about 8pm last night... yes I rock! However, I did not go to sleep until about 10ish or so, dang Pinterest, Groupon, Facebook, Zulily, Woot, Hanging with friends...Man, I have a problem. That I guess could be another blog post.

Anyhow, woke up having to use the POTTY, and then back to sleep I guess about 10:30... So still not too shabby.

Matt was still up playing video games and our nephew was still up as well, when his bed time is 10, so that is never good.

So today Matt and the boys didn't get away as early as they usually do. Me telling Marc to get up at almost 7:40 and him not getting in the shower until 7:55 is not my idea of a good start. But, hey.. they got out the door, and everyone was on time! Praise God!

Micah and I went back to sleep. I was surely grateful for this as well as he sure was perky when he told me he wanted to stay up with me when I was getting Mason ready. Once we got up, about 9:30 or so I got us ready and we headed out the door to get to the grocery store before going to get Mason. Today was the day that the Nestle (Ozarka)

man was coming to set up our water dispenser.... We are basically trying to save the world... No more plastic bottles for the Hejl house. Oh, and yes.. there is a water dispenser on our fridge, the water tastes like a swimming pool, so I object!

So, anyhow... back to our perfect day... Got home from getting Mason and putting away the groceries. This right here is a hard lesson in patience for me with the kids.... The kids asking for EVERYTHING they see me putting away when we get home. I have to tell them to get out of the kitchen until I am finished... that's patience right?

So got them all put away, started laundry, all 77 piles of it and then began to do the dishes. While doing this, I heard the cry from the littlest child of mine that means business. As a mommy you know these different cries. I stopped what I was doing to see Micah coming in the living room with I guess I will call a little dent in his nose. It was not bleeding, just a dent and bluish under. Looked painful, and his scream said so too. I called Mason in and his first response was "I did not do anything" ah, poor kid...

He gets in trouble quite a bit for doing things to his brother. I assured him that I knew he did not do it, but I wanted to know what happened. He said he hit it on the baseball thing that we have (yes in the house). It only shoots balls out at about 20 miles an hour... where else should it be but in the house. :)

When I asked Micah though, he said he hit it on the TV table, which makes more sense because the baseball machine is plastic... by the looks of the "dent" on his nose, this was not done by plastic. So we got that worked out, he would not let me clean it, or put anything on it.

Just after this occurred... a few whimpers still in play from Micah when he felt or thought of his nose, the Water man arrived. In the middle of the dishes, again, I stopped to put up our ferocious dog Molly, and her sidekick Emmy Lou... ferocious I tell you!!!

The water boy (ha) brought in the water, managed to knock off a cross from my wall (straight to hell he is going) JUST KIDDING, but did a great job installing (plugging in) the water dispenser! :) Again, we are saving the world!

Finished up the day with dinner.

By the way, did you know that if you put a wooden spoon on the pot it will not boil over?? I had seen this or heard this from somewhere and tried it out tonight... The potatoes were just about to boil over when I decided to try it... and KAZAM, no boiling over. Cool dude!

Well I had my bedtime snack, and I am off to dream about it. Not before I leave with a funny of course from my oldest of children.. Mason. First however, let me give you a brief vocabulary lesson.
