Remember the other day when I was saying I was behind on laundry and Megan didn't have any underwear. (Ok, she has some, but she refuses to wear certain ones, so I really don't feel sorry for her.)
Today I heard, "Courtney, can I go borrow another pair of your underwear?" Courtney responded, "Sure!"
Good thing they wear close to the same size! Made me feel TERRIBLE, so I said, "You know Megan, you have some clean underwear in the dryer, why don't you go find some of your own?" And she did!
Geez!!

Quote of the Morning
"Courtney, you always let Christian have his way, that's not how he learns!"
Said by Megan to Courtney when she was sticking up for her brother again!
Here's the story: Christian was sitting in his chair eating out of a bag of cereal that was on the table. Megan took the bag of cereal to eat some, so Courtney got mad at Megan because she was making Christian mad. Courtney doesn't like it when Christian gets upset and is always sticking up for him. Courtney was taking the bag of cereal back away from Megan to give back to Christian. Hence, Megan let Courtney have it!
In the end, it was Christian's fault! He doesn't need to get so mad about things! And Megan is absolutely right, he will not learn if we keep letting him have his way!
(He definitely has a problem with this lately!)

Too busy!
You know you have too busy during the week when:
1. It is Friday and even though you have 4 day lesson plans, you have an entire days worth of lessons to do yet on Friday afternoon.
2. Groceries, that you got on Monday, are still sitting on the counter and need to be put away.
3. The girls are out of underwear! oh wait, am I behind on laundry? They can just do what my dad always told me to do- put them on inside out! (Hi Dad!)
4. Even though you pulled the containers of clothes out of the attic to see what you have for this abrupt 80 degree weater, the clothes are still in a big pile on your bedroom floor. The girls have been going through them, so it's quite a mess.
5. After buying the kids new sandals on Wednesday and then they took them out of the boxes and sacks immediately after you got home, the sacks and boxes are still laying on the floor where they left them. In the middle of the piano room floor.
6. Every inch of kitchen counters is covered with something! and the island is about a foot high!
7. Something is beginning to smell in the kitchen sink.
8. My grandma has been in the hospital since Tuesday and I haven't found time to call her.
9. My grandpa had surgery on Tuesday and I haven't found time to get a card in the mail.
10. If I don't clean up the kitchen floor soon, we'll have every inch of that covered too! As I sit at my computer desk here, I see 7 pairs of shoes, a paper plate, an easter basket, a magazine, a berenstein Bears book, an empty ice cream cone box, an empty craft box from Sunday, some little people toys, a straw, a dump truck, a jacket, a blanket, and some matchbox cars. really, this is not my mess!!
11. Toilet paper that I bought about two weeks ago is still sitting by the back door- why don't I just put that away?
12. Contacts- oh yes, I was supposed to order new ones about a month ago, haven't gotten there yet!
13. There is a play this weekend at the Rose theatre that we can get free tickets for- maybe I should give them a call and reserve some.
14. The suitcases that we took to Des Moines last week are still out and sitting in the hallway.
15. Bills, Bills, Bills! I wonder if we're past due on some of them. I should dig them out from under the pile!
16. We made some cool treasure map craft projects on Monday- they are still on the counter and need to be finished. Wait, I think they are buried under dirty dishes!
Eventually I will get caught up on the housework and everything else. Someday. :)

Who wants a good laugh before bedtime?
Last night Megan brought me her book of knock-knock jokes to read before bedtime.
She actually has two books, so I had one and she had one. We read jokes back and forth to each other. Some of them were pretty good!
If you ever want a good laugh before bedtime, bring out the joke book!
PS They were nice and clean jokes!

Viking Adventure
ok, so you know the kids listen during history class when they start playing "viking adventure" in the dining room.
They have the chairs blocking the doorways and this is their pirate ship
These is what I am hearing:
Get undercover, they are shooting their canons at us!
Where are our canons?
Quick, row to shore. It's only 100 feet yet.
Jump from the ship.
I need to get my sword!
Lower the anchor!
We're at the beach!
Let's get off now!

Sunny Weather
Today it was about 80 degrees out here in Omaha.
The problem at the Ruwe house is that the girls, mostly Megan, have NOTHING to wear!!! (with exasperation!)
I pulled out some old summer dresses from last year and all I heard was, "those are too short" or "those just don't fit me anymore!"
Well, what do you want me to do? go to the store RIGHT now and buy you some new summer clothes??
I could've went into the attic and maybe found some, but when I opened the door, I saw wasps nests, no wasps, right by my head. I didn't want to go in there.
I found a few dresses for Courtney and they still fit her.
It made me laugh because there were two certain dresses Megan was complaining about, so at one point, I threw them at Courtney and said, "these will probably fit you now." Wow, that made Megan mad. But she had just said they were too short.
I guess we'll go shopping sometime for some new summer clothes!

Trains at 3 am
Dear Union Pacific,
I just wanted to let you know that it is not cool to run your trains at 3 am, especially the heaviest ones you have.
When you run these trains at 3 am, they shake our house. The heavier the trains equals the more the house shakes. When the house shakes, you wake my 20 month old up.
Not only did you run your heaviest train last night and woke him up once, you did it again about 10 minutes later. And woke him up again. I am not happy with you this morning.
Sincerely,
A tired mama with a tired son.
