Big Fat Black Permanent Marker

Today we got back into the school/gym routine. A little late, but still. Noah did not want to go, so it was a challenge getting every one ready and out the door. Hoover didn't care for us being gone either. Miss Holly said Noah was "wild" and ran around the room all morning. Josh got home for breakfast late, but was done for the day, so he went with us to take Noah to therapy and then we went shopping for his birthday. We ended up getting him a Wii, since he gets the clickers and pretends he's playing against Luke all the time. He thinks about it alot and he's only played a few times... So, we know he'll love it. We just have to be sure the puppy doesn't get ahold of one of those clickers... those things are pricey!! Anyways, we are really, seriously worried about Harper. She is in a depression or doesn't feel good. She is not herself, won't eat, sleeps all the time, cries all the time, everything hurts her and she constantly wants to be held, which I wish I had more time to do. I wonder if she is hurting? or bored? or just sick? It's stressing me out and finally Josh told me to have her checked out-- and if he says it, you know it's noticeable! I guess our first step is blood work, according to Dr. Fred, so that should be fun. Say an extra prayer that she is fine.
After therapy, Juddson was asleep and Noah went out back to play with Hoover and I tried to do a project with Harper in hopes to cheer her up. We started to carve her pumpkin, but she went back and sat on the couch with Cat after 2 minutes and was no longer interested. So, that made me sad. She was so excited to go shopping today, and then when we got there she whined and cried and wanted me to hold her the whole time.
So, after Noah was inside and Juddson was up, the boys were watching "Yo Gabba Gabba" and Harper was sitting on the counter watching me cook dinner, and after a little while, I noticed it was too quiet in the other room. I went in there and saw the front door wide open and couldn't find Noah... so, of course, I ran outside in a panic yelling his name and I see him climbing up in between the box and the cab or Josh's big work truck. Scared me to death! So, back inside I was talking to him and noticed he had black marker all over his hands and arms and asked him where the marker was. He got down on the floor in between the chair and the couch and there it was alright, there with a ton of black marks (roads as Noah says) on the hardwood floors!!! Oh man...... I tried to get it up with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which got most of it, but you can still see it. I will let Josh notice on his own or read this. I did all I could to save it. These floors need redone anyways.... I still don't know where he found that marker.
The rest of the night was chaotic. The dog was wild, Noah was busy, Juddson threw a tantrum and was laying on the floor crying and lifted his head up and smacked his face into the floor as hard as he could (and it sounded awful, like he broke his nose and knocked his teeth out) but he is fine... (Little Bice temper shinin' through :) ) and Harper was tired and crying, ugh.....whose idea was a puppy again??? Anyways, everyone is sleeping, and that's where I am heading too.
