Hookup

I know, I know, I have lots of catching up to do, but here's a quick little story I had to get in.
Yesterday morning, we were doing our usual dash for the door. I was all over the kitchen fixing lunches and getting everything together. Mason was taking his medicine. Out of nowhere Mason says, "Mom, I had a hookup." I stopped dead in my tracks. "What did you say??" I asked. "I had a hookup" he says. I'm standing there with all these thoughts running through my head. We are not really having a 'hookup' discussion already are we? And what is that boy at school teaching him?? Finally, I took the easy way out. I asked, "What is a hookup?" He says, "You know momma, (he makes a little noise in his chest) when you swallow sometimes and you make that hookup sound." OKAY, Hiccup! Gotcha! I can deal with that!!
So I explained to him the proper way to pronounce hiccup and off we went. I'm sooo not ready for hookup discussions yet!

4th of July Weekend

What rain? Rain didn't stop our firework show. It actually helped! We ended up shooting fireworks at our house, right along with everyone else in Lakeside! I think everybody was relieved and felt a little better about lighting fireworks once the ground was wet. The boys had a blast. We had tons of bottle rockets from the past couple of years and since it was raining, we didn't mind setting them off. The boys just loved them. We ended up just staying home all weekend. The boys swam all day Saturday then we cooked out hot dogs. About the time it started getting dark was when the rain hit. I thought Mason and Kooper were going to cry. We just waited it out and set off fireworks in between the storms.

The downside to our weekend was that our air conditioner went out about 6:00 Saturday night. So it got hot. Luckily the rain came through and the temps dropped or else we probably would have had to go stay somewhere else. We were able to get someone to come out and repair it yesterday.
It was a long tiring weekend but it was fun.

Woo Hoo!

I got in!! The program starts August 24th. Mason will start Kindegarten and I will start nursing school on the same day. Funny, huh? I told Molly yesterday that's it crazy how I am excited that I've just guaranteed the next two years will be the hardest ever! But it will be so worth it for our family.
So now off to study for my patho test that I have this afternoon. Still have to pass that class to get in!

A Text You Don't See Every Day

Received this text message from Mason's teacher this morning...

"Hey girl, Mason shoved a rock in his ear but its ok we got it out. He was crying alot he said it didn't hurt though. I think it just scared him. But he's ok!"

Nice.

Waiting

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Waiting for the school to post the list of students that got into the Fall RN Program. Supposed to be posted sometime today. I keep refreshing the page every few minutes. I'm not very good at this waiting part...
