Punka!

Punka has been hilarious this week!



Earlier in the week, 2 hours after we had put her to bed, she came into the den and told me she couldn't go to sleep because their was poop in the toilet and it wouldn't let her close her eyes. I thought she had gotten up, gone potty and for some reson couldn't flust the toilet. So, I walked her back to her bed and went into the bathroom. There wasn't anything in the toilet except water. She was dreaming! I told her there wasn't anything in the toilet and she had been dreaming. She just giggled and went back to sleep!

Tonight she did something similar. She came in and told me she had been thinking of all the things that are in her body and falling asleep wasn't working for her. I said, "What?" She repeated herself and then I think she realized she had been dreaming. Hottie walked her back to bed!

At dinner, we were talking about Goldilocks's favorite show Phineas and Ferb. It's Hottie's as well. Punka informed us that she really did not like that show and it would be ok with her if it wasn't on. So, Hottie continued telling us about the episode he and Goldilocks watched today and it was pretty funny. Goldilocks told us about his favorite part. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then Punka piped up. She said, "You wanna know what my favorite show is? Well, that is if I had a favorite." Hottie and I lost it! She got so tickled. Hottie is still laughing about it. That and the Phineas and Ferb episode he saw today!

Well, this is me and my life over the edge! Laughing all the way over the edge!

My Obsevations.

Sooo.
The worm isn't worth all the early birds say.
Night owls have the most fun.
You can't be a night owl and an eary bird.
It is difficult to be a night owl in an early bird's world.
I know this from experience.
You may have thought I flew the coop, but I didn't and that's for chickens anyway.
I think I felt like doing that though.
This morning thing is tough stuff!

It takes me a little while to wake up in the mornings. Usually, I'm functioning at 70% by 7:15. Yes, in the morning. But, my family likes the whole early morning thing. They LOVE to sing. That's good...praising the LORD in the wee hours of the morning. They need to solve the world's problems before 7am. And they want my help. I tell them if the world would stay in bed until 7:30 the problems would be solved. Hottie likes to discuss his Patho class and politics. Great nasty disease. First thing I like waking to in the morning. And my favorite....our morning concert. Yes. The children love to practice the piano. LOUD. I think this explains a little about why my life is a life over the edge.

Goldilocks wants to officially change his name to TANK. Whatever. Could you see that on campaign signs. His opponents would love it. "Tank TANK. Vote Jonhson for President!" I told him no. Then he told me it was a good thing we had water squirters on the car with windshield wipers that wind shield wipe. I asked him why and he replied, "So if a mean kid throws his ice cream on the window, you can clean it." Hummm. Never thought of that. But good to know. I wasn't sure if he was thinking ahead to the campaign trail or if was just the next subject that was important for him to cover. Oh. And he really wants to have a sleep over.

Punka is doing great in school. Super loves her teacher. She says Mrs. W is great because she gives out blue points in which you can earn Jolly Ranchers. A teacher after my child's heart. She received her Kindle yesterday and has already been reading it. I downloaded her school books and a few free ones. She was excited to see Alice and Wonderland and Treasure Island. She is definately my reader. Punka also loves her Littlest Pet Shop collection. She saves up her money to go buy a new one every once and a while. She has quite a few of them. Oh. And she wants to have a sleepover too.

Gigi started in the pre-school program at our church yesterday. She was reluctant to leave me but really wanted to check out her "cool". Her teachers are really great ladies and we look forward to getting to know them more this year. She has had a successful run of potty training. A few accidents, but nothing too bad. She Loves her "mousey" panties. She does not like to get them ewet. That is a good thing. We are no longer using the M&M's as motivation to go to the potty. She has forgotten about that now. It did what it was supposed to do. Oh. And she wants a sleepover too.

I don't know what to do about the whole sleepover thing. If I had all of them at the same time it would definately send me over the edge if I weren't already there. Make sense? No? That's ok. I know what I'm talking about.

Well, I need to go review state abbreviations, Latin verbs, spelling words and how to form the letter G. I'll see you soon.

Over the edge in homework.
