Why I'm hungry

Tator is a very creative soul. He loves to draw, paint, create. He is also very messy but that's a whole other post. I made baked pancakes a couple of weeks ago and he's been wanting to make some pancakes of his own for a couple of days. He asked me last night if he could make them for dinner. I asked if he had a recipe and he said he knew how to make the m already. Flour, water and eggs. Ummm.... We got online and found a recipe that I saw a while ago and wanted to try. He got busy on the Disney site and kinda forgot all about the pancakes- whew.
This morning I was cheerfully awakened by Tator and Daddyo with a HUGE plateful of pancakes with syrup and powdered sugar. I dug right in and Tator said to meet him downstairs when I was finished because he was going to eat his (and I think he wanted to watch his cartoon) Yummy? Well.... The only thing that would have made them better was a RECIPE. Turns out that he told Daddyo that he remembered exactly how to make them, NOT. I barely was able to swallow the first bite and Daddyo refused to even taste. I asked Daddyo how to hide them and he offered to throw them away for me, but I told them I wanted to be rid of the evidenc and thought I would flush them and take the sticky, empty plate back downstairs. Unfortunately they were not exactly flushable. Turns out I'm messy too.

Wha...Huh?

Where did the time go? I can't believe it's been two weeks since I last posted. Where do I begin? It's all a big, boring, blur.
1. The Professor went for allergy shots with FIL and ended up at the hospital for a stupid, stupid flu test - they didn't have any at the convenient care so they sent him to the hospital. I'm glad it was negative - but I'm irritated about having to pay for it (insurance will cover it, but still...).
2. MIL had a lovely birthday.
3. I finally convinced my doctor to prescribe Ambien - WhooooHoooo (those that know me well know what a big deal this really is)
4. Mom is home from the hospital and is doing well.
5. Baseball, baseball, baseball.
6. I have no idea how we're going to cover $400 worth of fundraising coupons for #1son's high school team, $100 in raffle tickets for #1son's Babe Ruth team, $50 each for The Professor and Tator's Little League Teams, $100 worth of chocolate for Tator and Doc's school fundraiser, plus the Coke and Krispy Kreme fundraiser for the middle school. Plus the cost of new cleats and uniforms for whole bunch and new summer clothes because they're all growing like WEEDS. Staggering!!
7. Daddyo called me at work last week saying that he had just heard from the school. Uuut Ohhh. Turns out that #1son took the qualifying test for the National Geography Bee (he won the school wide bee before Christmas). He did very well and has advanced to the state level - first student EVER from his school to qualify. He competes for the state title on April 3rd with hopes of going to the National competition in Washington DC in May. Needless to say we're very proud.
8. Please refer to #5.
I guess that's why I haven't posted as much as I intended to.
Take Care All
