Quirky things about me...

OK, quirk Number 1: If I hear a song that I know, even if someone is just humming it, I have to finish the song. It doesn't matter where I am, I HAVE TO finish it out loud.

2: I hate GEICO commercials with a passion.

3: When I cook, I talk with a french accent when no one is around.

4: I think catch and release fishermen are heartless bastards

5: cotton makes me want to vomit, thinking of it between your teeth... and it squeaks....and there is that....that... feeling of nasty particles rubbing..... puke, barf, retch.

And finally, I have an uneven problem. If someone touches one of my hands, I will do anything to get them to touch my other hand. If someone bumps into my shoulder at the store or something, I will run my shoulder into something at the store so that I won't be uneven.

CRAP, it's the first day of school

Me and JD decided that he would wake up at around 6:45 this morning because this would give him enough time to get showered and ready for school. Well, he ended up waking up at around 5:00, got showered and was ready for school at 5:15. He did this last year too, so I was kind of expecting it. Now, I am sitting here wondering if he dropped his lunch tray and had everyone laugh at him, or if the other kids noticed that he was not wearing a brand new shirt, or if he tripped on his new shoes because new shoes can take a while to get used to, or if he will miss the bus and if he does miss the bus what will he do, will he go back to class, will he go and call me, will he walk to the store, WHAT?? WHAT WILL HE DO??????? Oh crap, I can feel an anxiety attack coming one. Breath in and out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. and.......... relax
On a side note, Travis and Aspen,( Yes, I said Aspen), will be starting pre-school next week, so I am wondering what I am going to do with my time. Maddison is really easy to take care of, so if any one has any hobbies they would like to share with me, I would appreciate it. I know, I know, Janet is going to say blogging. Yes, I am a mind reader. It is one of my many, many talents :)

Question: If you make anything happen, what would it be?

I wonder....

You know, It is so hard for me to believe that I have 4 kids. Sometimes, I look at them and wonder where the time went. Before I know it, they will all be in school, I will be working, and I will be sitting there wondering where the time went. After what happened with Wyatt yesterday, It really makes me think about how precious time really is and how anything can happen at any moment that could change your life forever. Maybe it is not such a good thing for me to always expect the best from my children, maybe I am too tough with punishments, maybe I will always think that I can be a better mother than I am, but at the same time, I want my kid to learn respect, kindness, faith and love. I am so glad that Wyatt will be okay. I was so scared when Kevin told me what had happened, and I am so proud of Bobbi for keeping it together for him. I thought that she would be a mess, but apparently she held strong through out the entire thing. She is a better woman than I am because I would have been freaking out the entire time. Good Job BOB!!
We love you Wyatt, get feeling better soon

So I Here are some recent pictures of the kids. I love my new camera.

Jerri's New Gear

So yesterday I got me a new camera, which I have to say takes the best pictures, and I also got me a video camera, it was a package deal. I have been taking pictures all day, and I think that the kids are getting sick of me telling them to smile. JD finally told me that his face hurt too much to smile anymore, so I'm giving them a break. As soon as I figure out how to put the pictures on my computer i will so ya'll can see the chillen. B&B are coming tonight to get the kids. Normally, i would be releaved, but I am kind of sad. they have been so good while they have been here, so I guess I'll just have to adopt them.

Slip and Slide

The church is having their annual slip and slide party today at 11:00. The kids are so excited to go and get wet. I told everyone that they would not be able to go unless the house was clean, and you would not believe how fast they got everything done. I am the type of person that does not function well in a messy house, and I am glad that all the kids realize this. Morgan got up this morning and told the kids that they have to behave and pick up after themselves today because if they don't, Aunt Jerri's head-bunnies will start to jumpin and nobody wants to deal with that. He is so funny. I am glad that they are here, and I am going to miss them so much when they go.

French fries are POTATOES??

So, I was asking the boys what they wanted for dinner tonight, we decided on grilled cheese and french-fries. Morgan got a funny look on his face and asked me where I was going to get the fries. I told him that I was going to make them. He said that I could not make them because french fries are made in a factory. I told him that anyone could make them because they are just made out of potatoes. He got the funniest look on his face and said "French Fries Are Made Out Of Potatoes??? He did not believe me, so I had to show him how people make french fries. Wyatt couldn't believe that all this time he was eating potatoes and not even complaining. I was laughing so hard that my diet dr. pepper came out of my nose.

The Boys

Well, We have B&B's boys for the week. It is really nice to see them and get a chance to hear all the new things that have been going on with them. After a bag of cereal and a gallon of milk for breakfast, and a quick pick up job on the house, they are all playing outside because according to Alva, "nature is just where heavenly father wanted us to be, that is why we are so good when we are playing outside." He is a funny kid. He reminds me so much of Brian, born to be a leader.

Date Night

Kevin and I decided to go to the movies last night. We went and saw the new Mummy movie, which was actually pretty good. We took JD with us, and I spent most of the time watching him instead of the movie. He would get so exited, especially when the Abominable Snowmen came and wiped out most of the bad guys. It was fun taking him with us, and we decided that we need to spend time like that with each of the kids. It is funny to see how kids react when you spend time with them alone. We let him get whatever candy he wanted, and he kept asking the guy at the counter why they did not have apples and bananas for sale. He cracks me up.
