Entering the Blog World

So it's my first day as a blogger (as my husband laughs). It was another Wednesday in the Bowman house. Jason and I are getting over strep throat (we feel tons better than we did the last few days). Thank God for antibiotics. As usual I had to rush the kids off to school and then Aiden and I came back to the house to do a little house work, which is pretty much futile with him around. I was trying to get Jensyn's room in order for my parents to sleep in when they come to keep the kids while Jason and I go to Germany and Austria for two weeks. WOOHOO!!!!!!!! The kids went to AWANA tonight and Stephanie was so sweet to offer to bring them home since Jason and I still aren't feeling well. We have such good friends. For some reason Aiden wouldn't go to sleep tonight, it took him about 2 hours until he finally went to sleep for good. I hope he's not getting sick. He's always been our best sleeper. While I was on the computer setting this up I told Duncan he needed to get in bed (which he never does the first time I ask). A few minutes later I went looking for him to tell him to brush his teeth and go potty for the last time and I couldn't find him. I went to Jensyn's room, my room, the bathrooms all the while telling him he was going to be in trouble if he was hiding from me. Low and behold he was actually in his bed. I was amazed. I wish every night was that easy. Of course I felt bad for assuming he didn't do what I told him to do and thinking he was hiding from me. But all of us mom's know that we make these assumptions based on past experiences.

Now I'm going to get on my political soapbox for a minute. You are forwarned. Today was tax day and there are tea parties going on nation wide (I don't think there were any in Bloomington, but I did think about going to the courthouse lawn with a blanket and some Earl Gray). I really hope that it makes a difference, it really upsets me to see how much my children are going to have to pay for all of this frivolous spending. They didn't ask for this, they couldn't vote, yet they will have to pay. So there is my tirade for the day. Jensyn was more concerned with the fact that they didn't have Salisbery Steak when it said they would on the menu.

So now I must go to bed. I have an exciting day of vacuum shopping tomorrow. Oh the life of a domestic goddess, aren't you jealous?
