Well, as you can see by the pictures, we were not that busy Labor Day weekend but I created the video so why not share it. :-)
I will share two funny comments from Miss Thang....
Sunday on the way to church, she said that when she grows up she's going to drive a motorcycle. To that I said, well you will need to have a good job so you can pay for it. She responds, "I'm not going to have a job, I'm just going to ride my motorcycle to McDonald's, Nana and Papa's and then back home". Of course, I told her she would have to have a job but she wasn't buying it. OH KNOW!!!
She puts her dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher. Well, yesterday morning I told her to put her cereal bowl in the sink. She just started eating cereal so I didn't think to tell her what to do with her leftovers. Anyway, when I got home yesterday I had a nice hard layer of rainbow krispies at the bottom of my sink.
I called her over and told her that when she has leftover cereal she should put it in the trash or just sit the bowl with its contents in the sink. She looked at me and said "Note to self".
I say that all of the time but never to her. I guess she's listening to me.
In a previous post, I said that I let her brush her teeth in the shower and she doesn't whine about it. Well, now she's taking her daily vitamin and any medication in the shower. Soon, I'll have to move the dinner table up there. LOL Hey, whatever works and she thinks it's awesome right now.
Howework is going well but she's a perfectionist and loves her eraser. Glad I'm not like that or we could have a hard time.
Take care.....

Labor Day Weekend
We have been very busy this weekend. We went to SciWorks for a little while on Saturday. She finally convinced me to get in the Jacuzzi on Sunday. Well, she got in and I took pictures of her. Oh well, she had fun. Monday was full of errands and other fun things like that.
Seems like we are getting into a routine now. She likes school and thinks that riding the bus is fun. That will help both of us I think. I must say, I was so happy for the cooler temps this weekend. Neither of us are fond of the heat. Something else that we have in common.
We had our first family pics taken the other day. It was a little warm that day but I'm glad we did it.
Thanks to everyone for your continued prayers and support.

No, I'm just grumpy...
Last night was too funny not to share.
This week is Journey's first full week of school. She's very tired when she gets home and sometimes a little moody. Well, last night she was just outright GRUMPY!
Here's how my night went.....
Kecia - "Oh look Journey, you have a new homework folder"
Journey - " That is MY folder"
Kecia - "Look Journey, right here it says P-A-R-E-N-T so that means we are supposed to share it"
Journey - "Look Mommy, right here on the front it says J-O-U-R-N-E-Y so that means it is mine"
I then bowed my head, closed my eyes and said, "Lord, grant me deaf ears tonight and protect her". LOL
So, as she played with her fork (after she was asked to stop) and dropped it she started complaining that she didn't have a fork to eat with. I told her that she had one it was just on the floor. She said she couldn't reach the kitchen sink to rinse it off. I told her she could reach the bathroom sink and the same water comes out. Her complaint then was - how will I dry it? I said run quickly and you can air dry it. She didn't think I was too funny.
So to the shower we went. Guess what I heard....(Insert whining sound) I don't want to take a shower. She gave up on that one pretty quickly and got in. She loves to take a shower but doesn't like getting in and out and then brushing her teeth. My solution last night - let her brush her teeth in the shower. So if you come for a visit and your shower is minty fresh - you know why.
Then off to read a book, our devotional book, prayers and bed. The book was new so she loved it. The devotional was PERFECT for our evening. It was referring to the things that you say and do are evidence of what is in your heart. I asked her if she knew what that meant and she didn't so I explained it. I told her that when she says mean or rude things that it is a sign of what's in her heart. She said, well sometimes there must be mean in my heart. I said it happens to everyone but that we should try to be kind. I told her I'd pray for her and she said good and I'll pray for you. Oh my...guess I better step up my game!
Hey, no meltdowns just grumpy.
This morning was great and I thanked her for it. She said, I told you I wasn't going to be grumpy when I got up. That you did my girl....That you did....
So, I hope my evening made you chuckle.

1st Day of School
Well, we made it happily through the first day of school. When I asked her if she was ready to go back tomorrow she said "Don't You Know It!" I will take that as a good sign.
She liked after school care as well. She's eaten like crazy since we got home. She went upstairs to change clothes so she could ride her Princess Truck for a little while. She told Sophie that she could go to school with her sometime if she wanted to. Awww how sweet but I better start checking her bookbag just in case.
Who has time to write anything more than this. I have so much to do. I know, welcome to the "hood".

Hilton Head & a few extras
We had a great time enjoying our first trip to the beach. My parents were able to go and they played all day every day while I was working. Oh well, someone has to do it.
We were locked out of our room one evening and while we were trying to figure things out, her main question was "What about my shoes?". Oh know, I'm in trouble!
She started school today. She did fine, I was a wreck! LOL I'll post more about that later.

Hilton Head Here We Come
Journey has not been to the beach before so this should be a lot of fun. My parents are going with us and we are all looking forward to it. I'll be working for part of the trip but I'll be able to 
enjoy some leisure time with them.
enjoy some leisure time with them. I think I've created a monster though. When I was packing her clothes, she asked if she could take all of her shoes. I told her we would only take a few and she said that should couldn't know now which shoes she would want to wear! OH NO! Check out her RUBY SHOES! Thanks "Aunt" Jackie!
Journey and I have had a fun week. She stayed with Julie Monday and Tuesday and in her words, "Julie is cool!".
We went to the park Sunday and she was fine for about 10 minutes then had to let me know that she doesn't like to be hot. We kept walking and then she told me she was getting weak from the heat. We were able to safely make it to the shade and all was well with the world. Although she wanted to wear a dress to the park, she still enjoyed some play time on the equipment.
I'm sure I'll have some fun pictures to post next week. Have a great weekend!
