Here it is May 10th...and it is SNOWING outside. We had some nice rain showers all day long yesterday which we really needed..then as forecasted the rain changed over to snow. When Noah and I went to bed it was lightening and thundering outside but SNOWING instead of raining. Very odd...but I have seen and heard that here in Colorado before. Snow storms in MAY is NOT uncommon out here either...just weird. Anyway...we are under a winter storm warning. May end up with 6 to 12 inches. Looks like there is at least 4 inches out there or more already!!

Had a productive day. My back felt better as the kidney stone moved down closer to passing it out...so I did all the laundry. Swept the floors....cleaned the bathrooms and picked up a bit. Now today I would like to clean our bedroom and closet if I can get around to doing that. I am still finishing up spring cleaning and stuff.

Noah sure does like to take care of you and help out where it is needed. YOU DON'T ever hardly even have to ask him to do anything...he THANKFULLY has a built in sense and can see when something either needs done or someone needs something and he DOES IT. He will grow up to be a DREAM MAN for sure if he can keep that going on!!! For example....if he hears you having the hiccups...he will say "you need a drink of water mommy" and he will run and go get me his water cup so I can take a drink. Last night he had no water cup handy but he had a cup of milk so he looked at it and said I could have a drink of milk instead. I made some popcorn the other night. He won't eat any but we had on a movie and I popped me some. I sometimes drop in a few M&Ms in the bag and I guess he has seen me do that. He saw me bring in the popcorn and looked inside the bag and said "you need a little candy" and ran to get me some M&Ms to dump in the bag. I had not put any candy in the bag because A...I did not have any and B...I don't really need any as the popcorn was enough. He found some M&MS HE had and brought them to me and dumped them in my popcorn bag. Was cute. He is good about doing things like that all the time. When I clean he gets up and helps me clean. He will help put things away or into the dishwasher...helps me put clothes in the washer.......clean the bathroom...etc. He is amazing for 4 YEARS OLD...hahahh. I know of men 40 PLUS who don't behave that way. SO...hopefully I can raise him up right and he will know how to cook and clean and manage money and do things on his own and be able someday (IF we are all still around in the world-GOD WILLING) to handle a relationship as he will already know how to do things on his own and not expect someone else to do them for him.

Not sure what I will WHIP up for breakfast today. Right now I am actually not even hungry. I AM going to go make a pot of coffee though. Just opened a new can of coffee so it should taste and smell really good!!

Got a great pitcher at Target the other day. Looks like glass but it is actually plastic. Loos RETRO like something from the 50s....almost the shape of the Koolaid pitchers! Has summer stuff on the outside of an etched area around the pitcher. Very cute. MAKES ANYTHING you put inside it taste even better including water! I fill it with ice and then water and leave it out and pour me big glasses to keep sipping from. HOPING it will help me pass this one kidney stone I have been working on now for a few days. I am beginning to think it must be a larger one as they normally pass quicker than this. SO...we will see I guess when it finally comes out.

Well..I should get back to work. Lots to do on this end of things.
