This is jake w/ his new black hair on homecoming night. I love him because he's brave enough to leave the house looking like this.

Suffer

Do you think Eve had PMS or did the big guy add that in when women started wanting to vote and work outside of the home? Every month since I've had Tessie I suffer from about a weeks worth of headaches just before my pyramid comes. I hate my head, it needs to go away. I got her back though, yesterday I took Tess for her shots and went ahead and added on the flu shot for good measure. That'll teach her to break mommy's head.

Jake had all A's and one B on his interrums. He finally decided to go ahead and push my promise of "if you behave and get good grades, I don't care how you look". He now has blue-black hair. I think he looks like a goth scarecrow.

Trevor went to a dance last Friday...with a GIRL. He's been floating around on clouds since then. It's too soon. Jake waited til highschool to like girls enough to talk to them on the phone. NO.FAIR.

Kendall is perfect...as always. That's all I need to say.

Hocktober

As I type this, there are 3 kids in my classroom talking to me about how they used to just LOVE NSYNC but now they're just SO lame. They are supposed to be typing a report for History. Oh well. I love this job. The days seem to be so full and I'm always busy with stuff I love. The kids aren't bad, the work is awesome and everyday I get emails saying how great I am.

We've had a full month already and it's just October 6. I can't remember the last time I had a chance to just breathe. Dan's folks have been visiting and we've had birthdays and just all sorts of stuff. I need to clean my house. It's a pit. I need to get back to studying for my CNA. I'm going to have some head-clearing alone time this weekend while the kids are at their dad's house. Dan and Tess will just have to suffer through (watch cartoons) while I get my ducks in a row and while we watch the 40+ shows we have tivo'd in our room. I adore my tivo.

Jake brought home a gynormous ping pong table a few weeks ago and it really does take up most of our basement. I've been thinking that maybe we should capitalize on this by holding ping pong tournaments. If each person pays a $10 entry fee in hopes of winning half the pot and a trophy (which gets passed to the winner the following week) then we could afford groceries in NO time!

We made cookies using fondant this week with grammy O'Brien. They taste just as great as they look.

Happy Birthday Kendallpops!

We had a joint party for Kendall and Tess on Saturday. Kendall wanted her party at the river so that's where we went. It was a gorgeous day and lots of our favorite people were there. Today Kendall's 11 so we're going to have to order pizza for dinner and maybe stick a candle in a halloween cookie or something. She won't complain because she raked in on the good stuff Saturday.
