It’s time for a review of what’s been happening in our house this week.

I’ve been working A LOT lately, and I am still hacking up a lung. I just read though that honey is a very good cough suppressant. Unfortunately I’m not a huge fan, so I’ll have to figure out how to make is palatable.

James is also recovering from a cold. He got to take a day off of work and got to take a 3-hour nap. Can you hear the jealousy dripping?

Speaking of jealousy, our Jumpshot got his first taste this week. A girl he’s liked for over a year has a boyfriend. He spotted them hugging. He said the sight of them tortured my body. Poor guy. He now refers to her as the girl he used to like. We’ve all been there, buddy. I got him an Icee to help take his mind off it.

Diva is planning a toy garage sale. I agreed to it one of those moments I was saying yes to everything because she was talking incessantly, and I thought she would forget. I was wrong – again. She’s also reading! It’s all so very exciting. She gets so proud of herself, and I’m proud of her too. And the day has come that she has dreaded for years – homework has begun. She’s actually enjoying it – like I told her she would.

Manchild has a new favorite word – underwear. Apparently it’s the funniest word ever. He uses the word all the time and just laughs and laughs. He’s also getting a little sneaky. He hid half his sandwich behind his back and made me believe his finished the whole thing.  Everyone else saw it and laughed at him, which is the worst thing you could do. Now he thinks it’s funny, and he’ll keep doing it.

Jumpshot has started track practice, and the first meet is next weekend. I’m booking my scrapbook day on the 20th, so I’ll have some more layouts to show you.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward an hour next week. It’s my least favorite day of the year.

Have a great week, everyone!
