Lifes Like That

Normally when I pick something to read it will be a historical romance novel of some sort. Last night I wanted something different to read, so I picked out a New York City travel magazine at the store. I have to say I was highly impressed with the articles that I read in it. I enjoyed the magazine so much that before I went to bed I had read this magazine from cover to cover. Normally I don’t really enjoy magazines, but this one surprised me. I enjoyed all the pictures and the articles and when the new issue comes out, I will definitely be making another purchase. But since my magazine has been read, I guess I’ll go find a novel to read tonight.

Finally after a month of trying, I am able to post that we did in fact go camping this weekend.  Well your probably wondering why I am able to post this on Sunday.  We had to come home early today as my son had a birthday party to go to today and I am posting this while I wait to go pick him up from the party.  Although we did get to go, the trip wasn’t really that great.  It was seriously cold and windy yesterday so you really couldn’t enjoy yourself outside.  And this morning it was raining so we packed up and left and bought breakfast on our way home.  But still it was nice to get away and the kids had fun.  I’m sure we will go out a few more times this summer and hopefully the next time the weather may be a little nicer for us.  But at least we finally got to go.

Having two small children at home who have no clue as to what time is suitable to get out of bed in the mornings can be quite exhausting for a parent. Trust me. I know. My two kids are usually up before 6:00 am every morning (even on weekends) thinking it’s time to get up for their day. I really need to purchase them each a Teach Me Time Clock to get all our sleep patterns back on track. This clock is really cool. Not only will it teach young children how to tell time, but some of the other features it has is a must need in any household with children who don’t want to stay in bed.

This clock is a talking clock and will also turn green when it’s time for the children to get up. Although I never had the opportunity to purchase something like this when my oldest son was younger, I do have the opportunity now and I can’t think of any better way for me (and the children) to get our much needed extra sleep every morning.
