Well today was pretty uneventful. We got up and were lazy, just playing and doing whatever until it was time to get Ethan ready for school. Ethan went off to school this afternoon and Edward and I went grocery shopping. That's always fun. I can't believe how much things are costly now! At this rate no one will be able to eat healthy food and the obesity epidemic will just worsen. Seriously, I was shocked at how much prices have gone up. I don't usually notice but we are putting ourselves on a much stricter budget now (plus I blew most of my budget last week) and I just can't get over the cost of stuff. Ugh. If Ed and I weren't on this diet I would not have spent nearly as much but we have to get the weight off somehow!

While we were waiting for Ethan's bus to arrive the boys were rolling around in the living room kicking each other. I kept telling them to stop and they wouldn't so I got out my camera and started taking pictures and told them I was taking pictures of them being bad and not listening. They kept on for a minute or so then Edward jumped up and said "Can you take pictures of us being good now???". I laughed and told him yes. Unfortunately I only got one picture before my camera's battery died but it's a cute one.







Marisa is filing out job applications now. She was told that it is time for her to get a job and learn some responsibility. I take care of so much for them and they really need to learn to do things on their own, for themselves. I told Jessica she can get a job as well if they will hire a 15 year old.

Speaking of Jessica. She was supposed to be taking drivers ed this summer but every time I mentioned it she acted like I was telling her she had to take another math class (which she hates) so I told her tonight that since she doesn't want to do it we won't force her into the class. It is expensive and she would probably end up failing because she is not "into" it yet. Fine. Saves us money. I should have known though. This is the kid who still refuses to order her own food when we go out to eat. Can you see her DRIVING (yeah right!) into the drive thru and not being able to order??? LOL
