Root Beer, Organization and other Tid Bits…

IBC Root Beer….it’s a terrible thing. I’ve become addicted. I’ve always been a fan of root beer. Barqs is usually my favorite. But there is just something about the IBC bottled root beer that pushes Barqs to the back shelf. Sigh…I just wish it wasn’t in a brown glass bottle. Looking into the recycling bin is just terrible at first glance. So now I have to ask myself….do I really want to break the addiction….??…. I’ll let you know when my stash runs out. HA HA HA!!

Next order of business…..Organization. I love it…I’m just not very good at it. I get to the point where the clutter just drives me absolutely crazy, and I go on an “organizational” cleaning spree. I love it when things finally get all organized and I know exactly where everything is. I just wish it would stay that way. I start out with good intentions and even have the kids helping to keep things all nice and neat…but it just seems that after a couple of weeks, things start getting a little less organized until finally I’m back to square one again. Sigh….Is OCD contagious?? Cause I’d love to catching the OCD cleaning bug from someone.

School is going very well. The kids are learning and getting less and less help from me. It’s very nice. I’m able to be there for them and yet I can still do some small household chores off and on during school hours. So you’d think my house would stay clean, right?? HA!

Glorianna is starting on her “blends”. She’s really liking it. She will probably start putting words together within the next month or so. If she follows in her brother, Zion’s, footsteps….look out world. She’ll be reading by the end of Kindergarten and then there’s no stopping her.

For those of you who can’t comment on my blog…I don’t know what the problem is. Trevor has tried to fix it but so far, nothing. Hopefully we can figure out the problem soon. I miss all of your comments.

The kids started soccer yesterday. They had their first practice last night. So from now until the end of October, all of my Tuesdays and Saturdays are going to be revolving around soccer. If it wasn’t for the fact that the kids loved it, I’d just as soon not do it. It’s nice and very laid back but it’s so time consuming.

It was cold last night. The poor kids had to practice in the windy, chilly winter like weather. What happened?? It was around 100 all last week. Rain moved in on Sunday and now its only in the 60’s. We went from having a heat advisor to wearing long sleeves and jackets. All in less then a week!! Crazy Indiana weather!! But it looks like things may be moving back up to the 70’s later in the week and into next week, so we may still get to enjoy a bit of Fall before Winter sets in…

Well, my kids are emerging from their cocoons of sleep, so I need to go be a mommy again. I’m sure you’re tired of my ramblings by this time anyway. TTFN!!
