Mylan has been grounded so naturally he's been pretty bored. Today he actually asked me if he could mow!! Can you believe it! So gladly I told him he could. He did a pretty good job for it being his first time without supervision.

Baseball Season is Here!!!!
April 9, 2010.
This weekend is the Jaguars first tournament of the season. Although there were some issues with two of the boys getting injured before the game even started the Jaguars pulled through and ended up winning with a run rule of 16-1 for their first game! Way to go Jags! They play again on Sunday and if they win that game they will play in the championship later that night. I have been looking forward to baseball season so that I could play with my camera! I didn't have a whole lot of fun the first day because I found it frustrating having to deal with a lot of wind and not being tall enough to see over the fence. I ended up sitting on the back on a friends truck in the outfield so that I could see over the fence.

Parenting
Sigh...Parenting...Step-Parenting....whatever.
It's all hard.
I've got a huge headache.
Mylan's been having some issues at school and a few at home.
Although I think we're making progress and he is learning his lesson, as all kids must do at some point in childhood, it is still just as hard on the parents.
I am pooped.
Mentally.
Physically.
Emotionally.
Sigh.
Stick a fork in me because I'm done.

Why You Act The Way You DO
Sometimes when I need a change of pace in the murder mystery books I like to read I just walk the library and scan the book titles til I find one I think looks interesting to read. Today I picked up: Why You Act The Way You Do by, Tim LaHaye. If you haven't already guessed, it's about psychology. I just love psychology! It's always interesting. This book talks about people's different types of temperaments. Chapter One: Temperament Influences Everything You Do. That is so true. It goes on to talk about the different types of temperaments in different situations. I found some of mine to quite funny! Those of you who really know me will find it funny too!
Eating Habits:
I am a Sanguine: I eat everything in sight. (If I'm not careful it'll start to show too!)
Driving Skills:
I am a Sanguine: I am a erratic driver...sometimes speed then for no apparent reason drive slower. (Larry! Keep all comments to yourself!)
Shopping:
I am a Choleric: Like most men...I am not fond of shopping. I prefer to go to the store to get what I need, purchase it and get the heck out of there.
Yard Work:
I am a Choleric: I hate yard work but if I must do it I do it with a vengeance. I get it done and get out.
Study Habits: (This one really cracked me and Larry up!)
I am a cross between a Choleric and a Sanguine:
Choleric...I am clever but not brilliant. I am not a good speller and mostly skim over things. I have a curious mind and I want to know the "why's" of things. I love charts, graphs and diagrams. I want to know how everything fits into the whole scheme of things but I have a hard time concentrating.
Sanguine...I am not usually a good student unless really motivated to be. I have a short attention span. I am restless and easily distracted by simple things such as a bird flying by or a picture on the wall. (That part really cracked us up because it's so true! Sad but true.)
Communication Skills:
I am a Sanguine because I am overly expressive.
Hmm...in Chapter Two I have to take a Temperament Test. I wonder how accurate that will be?

Easter 2010
For Easter we went to Grandma Sue's house where Mylan and Larry had an egg hunting contest to see who could find the golden egg first! Then we ate til we felt like bursting!
Larry hunted and hunted...
They are both very competitive so they even raced to some of the eggs...
Where are all they eggs Mylan?
Mylan ran this way...
And that way...
Mylan found the golden egg!!
And won the special prize that Grandma Sue had for the winner!!
Grandma Sue...
Grandpa Woody...
Mylan hanging out...
Grandma Sue got Mylan his own special desert (does she spoil him or what!). Isn't it cute? It's a bunny stuck in a hole with his little tail and paws in the air!
Sometimes Mylan gets a hold of my camera to take some pics of his own. I always enjoy seeing what's on my camera when he's through with it. Funny boy!
