Warm Comfort.....

Today all my boys are either sick or getting sick. So what better that a big warm pot of Soup. Soup always reminds me of my Mom. It's one of her favorite things. Nothing better than a house smelling of soup on a rainy fall day.

"Soup is cuisine's kindest course.  It breathes reassurance; it steams consolation; after a weary day it promotes sociability, as the five o'clock cup of tea or the cocktail hour."
Louis P. De Gouy, 'The Soup Book' (1949)

Bleck!!!

So this little complicated , crazy,roller coaster that is my life.....bleck. Having a blah day. Last couple of days  with the boys have been  particularly difficult . Arrrggg!!! We do so well for so long and then, HEY road bump!!!!! Why? Who the heck knows.  

Hudson is still refusing to go poop in the toilet, he wet his pants twice yesterday.(which he doesn't do usually) I think in the last 5 days I have been bit 6 times. And the constant screaming and demands are about to drive me to my early grave. I hear him at night twisting and turning and grumbling so I know that he is not sleeping well .Again why? Today he cried and didn't want to go to school. Had to put him on the bus. He loves school and the bus. What gives?

Hayden on the other end of the spectrum has been a little booger also. Yesterday I took him to  pioneer park to see his friend Nicholas, that he has been bugging me to see sooo much lately, what does he do?  FREAKS on me at the park. Full fledged meltdown screaming flaying on the ground, crying like I am the worst mother in the world. Why? All for his current obsession for the little monopoly tickets at his favorite place-Mc Donalds. Good Sweet Lord!!!  What triggered this meltdown that lasted at least 30 mins in plan view in a public park. Nicholas had a Happy Meal from McD's. Oh holy Hannah the water gates were opened. Did he recover? Well as good as Hayden usually does. Whole night.....we were on edge!  Last meltdown of the day, he closed himself in the closet refusing to take his medicine. 20 mins of negotiations. Ufta! 

What bothers me the most. The unpredictability of what my day is going to contain. I'm I going to have to be in full fledge Mommy Combat today or are we going to functions fairly well? If I knew, then I could prepare my mind. The constant uncertainty from day to day or even hour to hour is exhausting.  

 But hey what are ya going to do? Bleck!!!! 

 P.S-  By the way I am just joking with the pics. ;)

Mother ,Daughter Date

My Mom and Me in front of the Doll Museum

 So a couple of weekends ago, my mother and I went on a Date!! Yea, adult conversation, Doll museum tour, little shopping, good food and a GREAT 70's tribute concert , ABBA! WaHoo!!!! Got to love the 70's. I know that I do. Had a blast. Thanks Mom!!! 

So I introduced my mother to my new obsession, Blogging. So you know once you start you want to take pictures of everything. I mean everything! I love people watching anyway, but now I want to take pictures of all the great characters out there. I love how everyone is different and unique. And sometimes pretty "special". ;) Josh always has said that I am going to get shot one of these days for staring, (or what I call people watching). But know that it is on a whole new level involving a camera, well......he could be right. Heee Heee Hope not. Just call me the Billings Paparazzi. lol So I am now going to share some of the wonderful people I saw at the ABBA concert. I am so excited!!!!  
                                                         

ABBA's  Biggest Fan

                                                                     

      Here is my new Friend I meet  that night, he LOVES 

ABBA and he has all of their songs. He was really 

hoping to meet the performers to get autographs.  

My mom and I wondered about him all night ,

      wondering if he was dancing and enjoying himself.    

Loved him!  Too cute.

This Grandma was definitely a Dancing Queen...
Tooo Cute!

Some Groovy Gals

          Now I love his outfit and attitude. CLASSIC!
           Bet he was quite the swinger/stud in his day.
                          Rockin the baby blue suit! 

All in all a great day with my Mom. I will post more on of the Doll Museum later. Happy Blogging.
