Woke up dragging a little, but the first cup of Emerils coffee is starting to clear up the fog. I am so in love with the Keurig coffee maker thingy. My kids and their cousin Kyle are now outside "Ding Dong Ditching" some of my poor neighbors. Even Tyler is participating in this adventure. I am already prepared for the knocks at my door, "Do you know what your kids are doing"?
Due to the Gulf Oil Spill, I am a little leary of buying Oysters and Shrimp. Both of which I need for my Thanksgiving menu. Oyster dressing and my moms Stuffed Mirlitons with Shrimp, her recipe. I am so thankful I have her recipes in her beautiful handwriting, I think one day I will have them made into a hard bound book as a gift to my sisters and sons and whoever else I think worthy. I do miss her especially around the holidays when families take time to spend with each other.
If anyone who reads this and I seriously doubt anyone reads this, as this is only my second blog post and I have everything to learn about blogging and no clue as to what the hell I am doing yet. Anyway, if you would like the Mirliton recipe, I would be happy to send it to you. Just ask.
Loads to do today, a pile of laundry, downstairs floors and stairs need a good vacuuming, a grocery trip, lunch, dinner, keeping my kids from being arrested. It's all good.

Todays Thoughts
I have taken the time today to reflect on how great my life really is. I have a wonderful husband and the most amazing two boys. Lil Jayson 11 and Tyler 9 are really growing into awesome young men. I have to give my husband most of the credit, he is so consistant with them as far as discipline. I very much lack in that department.
Despite Tyler having "high functioning autism", he is blossoming. He has taught me alot. Lil Jayson is extremely bright and has the soul and wisdom of someone much older.
We have alot going on the next few months with the holidays and school projects, we will be "busy bees".
Lil Jayson is doing his first social studies project, "Who United Upper and Lower Egypt" and Tyler will be doing his first book report. Tyler will only have to write a few sentences, but I will need patience from above to help him with that. I think he would rather have his teeth pulled out slowly one by one than to have to write. It is not his thing. I'm not sure if it has to do with autism and the whole "processing" thing or what. Math, he loves and we usually glide through without any major drama.
I just ordered pizza for them. Not the most healthy food choice, but they probably don't eat it as much as the "average American kid". Tomorrow I must visit Whole Foods and stock up the kitchen. Pizza is here and I must admit it looks yummy.
Looking for to the Vikings game tomorrow (Brett Favre, I apologize) and also the Titans game, I really hope Randy Moss finds some humility, awesome athlete but terrible attitude.
