"Mom, my back is peeing....and so is yours!"

Summer reading for the library came to close yesterday and what an exciting time it was! My 3 youngest children, (4,6 and 8) all read, or I read to them, over 60 books! Big sis read her required 5 but 9th grade brother was not interested.

Let me say that I do not embarrass easily but I looooove to embarrass my children when I get the chance ;) The librarians gave them a whole packet of goodies and played a pirate song up loud in the middle of the library (yes where people were trying to concentrate and read) and congratulated them as loud as they could. The 3 youngest girls loved it but I soon noticed that the oldest princess and the football player were gone walking around the library with dad! Oh well, we tried anyway!

I picked up a kids magazine on the way out because there is usually a few cute ideas. The kids looked through it in the van on our way to the most dreaded super store around!! (BTW, if you don't like where you work, quit!) This store can almost not be avoided as they are on every curb you drive by and call out your name reminding you that you forgot toilet paper and the kids had to wipe with tissue this morning :)

On the way into the super store (aka the devil's lair), my football player tells me, "Mom, my back is peeing...and so is yours!". Did he really say his back is peeing and btw, is that even possible? Wait, this is my son, of course he said that! The oldest princess confirmed that indeed, both our backs were peeing.

Thank you kids magazine from the library. You have not only taught me something new but everyone in the family that back sweat (really any sweat) is the same as you peeing! Think about that next time you wipe sweat of your brows :)

Nan :)

Beginning...

So, this is my very first post on my new blog and I'm super excited! In fact, I've never had a blog before but I thought I would give it a try :)

I am a mom to 5 children, one boy and 4 girls. I am trying to earn my degree in nursing and have been going for my 2 year degree since 06'. I love teaching CPR/FA/AED for  infant, children and adults and Basic HIV/AIDS Prevention and Education at a well known non-profit.

I absolutely dispise cooking and try to avoid it at all costs. How, might you say, does our family survive? Thankfully, my boyfriend is a really good cook and so we seldom have to eat burnt mac and cheese, crunchy rice or instant noodles ;)

If you are a parent, a wanna be parent, a parent to a four legged child, I hope you find my blogs interesting and usually humorous. Since the name is obviously referring to my children, be prepared for children to be the center of a lot of my posts.

Please feel free to leave feedback and post comments. I would love to hear from each of you ;)
