Hotness!

Ok so not so hot but sexy! I am not sure when men loss their hotness and just become plan sexy but he achieved it along time ago.

Something else I would like to see...


This is the Millau Bridge in France. It crosses the Tarn River Valley.

Could you?







I know that this was going around a few years ago. The first picture shows you can not see inside but I still dont think I could do it.

Childhood Memories

Just thought of something that my mom did to me when I was younger for being a brat. ( just read llflodq about the guy leaving his kid at McD's)

When we were at Six Flags my sister and I were fighting and wouldnt stop, wouldnt mind and my Mom had enough and told us she was going to spank us. We laughed at her and said it wouldnt hurt. She marched us to the car and beat our butts with her flip flop!

It made me laugh when I remembered it.

Things that made me think WHAT?

13? Really?
State District Judge Alan Mayfield accepted a 15-year plea deal Monday for a
13-year-old Waco boy charged with murder. The action came two weeks after
Mayfield rejected a 10-year plea agreement.

Not so close to home but 11 years? Thats all?
They say 2050...I say alot sooner more like 2020. In some schools districts like Fort Worth already.
Is the air really that bad?

Wow!

I am glad this didnt happen to me. Congrats to the new parents.

Hotness!


This man is so good looking. He is real too. Not some celeberity. Well not really yet. He will be on "America's Toughest Jobs." His name is Steven Hopper. He looks really young though.

What?

I dont get the point of this. Why? Is there really a need for these. I think they are just wasting time and money.

Its about damn time!

UP TO 70 - The speed limit on U.S. 380 between Decatur and Bridgeport has been
raised to 70 miles-per-hour. It had been set at 55 m.p.h. since the road was
opened several months ago.


I just read this in the update!

The Olympics are over


and I didn't watch any of it. We didn't do to bad. We as in USA because I could never do half as well as those athletes.



  • Gymnastics are my favorite. I didn't even watch that.

  • Who knew how much stuff they compete in and call them sports.

  • China got a lot of Gold medals in there homeland. Good for them!

  • I wonder since China takes the children and start training them at such a young age, what their family life is like and if they even know them. I wonder if they would be scared of their coach for messing up or not doing well.

  • Did China cheat with the whole age thing? If so, do they have to give the gold medals back and someone else receive them?

  • Would getting the gold be the same and would you feel like you really earned it if someone else was better than you they were just too young?

  • I agree with many in saying Michael Phelps looks like he is wearing a halter top in this photo.

  • I missed the opening ceremony and the closing. I hope that I get the chance to see them sometime. They will be hard to outdo in 2012.

First Day of SCHOOL!!!!

I like the whole meet the teacher night and get you schedule before school starts thing. They give you most of the paper work that needs to be filled out and sent back. It gives you the weekend to get it done. (I still did it late last night because I forgot) There were few mishaps before left this morning. Pretty good for my bunch.

The dogs water got spilled on one of the boys so he had to change.
The dog ran out so the boys had to chase him down. Took about 5 mins.
and last but not least...
the little ones didn't want to put there shoes on.

The oldest started middle school today. I am having a hard time with it which surprises me. The other two in school are in 4th grade. There is nothing new for them but teachers and they have already met them. Not worried in the least about them and how they will do today but man. Huhhh. I was talking to the oldest one about where everything was and if he remembered his first class and had his lunch money. He was fine and ready to go. I drop him off and I am expecting him to go in and do all the stuff we talked about. Nope. Not him. He stops at the first group he sees and starts talking to all his friends. He is confident and not worried at all. He is excited to be there.....I cant wait till the end of the day so I can hear all about their first day back to school.

Its that time.

I dont know if its because I am a mother or not but this is so true!

I just saw this

FUNERAL for Taylor Parsons, 15, of McKinney is 10 a.m. Thursday at Jones Family
Funeral Home with burial in East Bridgeport Cemetery. Family visitation from 6-8
p.m. Wednesday.

in yesterday's update. I always wonder what happens when I see that someone under 50 has died, especially the younger ones. It is so sad that they never get to live to joys the rest of us have.

I want...


....to go to Ireland. One day when my children are grown I am going to travel the world and see all the places I can imagine.

Sexy


Just found People's sexiest men alive page. I like there #1 pick but a few of the rest I would change around. Where are the other 85 pics????

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

GrrRRRR

My boys woke me up fighting about everything this morning. I am making them get up early so they will be ready to get up for school next week. The list of things they haven't fought about is shorter than the other. Now the oldest seems to think he can argue with me.....when will that boy learn that for now he is not going to win. I hate having to get on to them but I hate the bickering even more. It makes my day horrible. I feel like I am on a rampage now seeing everything that needs to be done all at once and telling them it all has to be done in an hour.

Few Questions

  • Did I miss this on the news this weekend or did they just not report about it?
  • When are the Olympics over?
  • Did we (USA) do well?
  • How much is average for electric bill? I just noticed that mine was 454.82!!!!!!
  • Am I the only one who doesnt have a cell phone and not mind it in the least? My 11 year old keeps asking for one. What the hell does he need one for? He doesnt even use the house phone now.
  • Do most women have sex toys? I was invited to a party for them. Sounds fun.
  • I cant decide if I feel guilty for not going or if I am sad that I didnt get to go to a family (well it was my cousins bday party....more than just family, always a good time)party this weekend. I was having problems.

Wow I just noticed...



that on some of the secrects on Post Secrect you can mouse over and it will show the otherside of the card. How long has that happen?

Time for a change

I think I am going to make a plan and stick to it. The list of things that I dont like about myself and my life has become a lot longer than the list of things I do like. I think the hardest part is that I am not proud of who I am any more. I cant decide if I let someone take that from me or if I lost it in all the mess. I have lost so much of myself I dont even recognized me any more. I am more than I have become. (Its so bad I know this and no one even had to tell me).

I am taking life back. I am taking me back. I want more than I am. Watch out world I am on the loose (for those that actually know me you might get a phone call soon).

Pee Wee Foot Ball

3 of the boys started football practices yesterday. Wow at least one of them will have practice evey single night. They all worked really hard. I hope they keep up the good work because they did alot better than I thought they would. A pic of all their equipment is to come because I know its going to take up all sorts of room I dont have.

Post Secret


I had a hard time picking one of these this week for many reasons.


  • Too many that I could relate to and I almost posted one of them but I don't think I am ready to tell that secret yet.

  • Some that were easy to understand. I don't know if it is because I have felt that way at one time or another or if I have that much compassion for someone I have never met in my life.

  • And others were just how I wish I could feel sometimes.

So here it is. I picked the funniest one. Well at least in my opinion.

Birthdays!

We had a birthday party this weekend too. It was for 2 of the boys. One turned 11 on Sunday and other will be 9 on Tuesday.
It was fun. I got to relaxe more than usual. I guess because the little ones are getting bigger. We did hot dogs (because it was so late in the afternoon). Its not something I usually do but I liked it. The boys were happy. I did notice that they are not getting a many toys as they used to because they dont play with them as much. They are getting hard to buy for now.

Busy Busy Busy!

OK so I have been really really busy lately.
We had a family reunion this weekend. It was great. I got to see all of my cousins that I never get to see. It had been about three years.

Thing I learned there:
  • I couldn't tell who all the children were.
  • I wish I could see them more often. I want my kids to know them. I realized this when one of the boys said "That boy over there in the brown shorts hit me in the face with the ball." (it was one of those balls that you play with in the water so it was soft) They should at least know one another well enough to know each others names.
  • My cousin had another baby that stayed home with daddy.(She is one now)
  • The same cousin had a stroke a few months back. She is too young for that only in her early 30s. Worried me.
  • My grandfather seems to be aging health wise now. I want to start spending more time with him.
  • I am really interested in my family history. Where we came from and what they were like.
  • My grandmother used to drink beer. ( Evidently my whole family did. They had wine and beer set out every day and that's what everyone would drink after work.)
  • When my great-grandfather died the whole town shut down for his service. I want to know about that man who was so loved.
  • My step mother and uncle sure know how to slip-n-slide!

I forgot my camera. I was sad. :( I will see if I cant get a few from someone else.

How Redneck Are We?

I just heard my 8 year old say

"We're going to get some beer. Jacob you want to come?"

My response "WHAT? What did you just say?"

His "We are playing we are going to go shoot some stuff?"


I am trying to figure out which problem is bigger. The fact he is going to get beer or the thinks beer and guns go together.

Here the Head line

Ohio inmate says he's too fat for execution (wish I could figure out how to get a picture of the head line)

Who cares? They are killing you and you are worried about pain? It wont be too long and maybe you can remember what got you there in the first place and how much pain it caused someone else.

I mean I dont think of my self as ever being on a jury and handing the death penalty down but someone did.

Now that I am thinking aobut it I dont know if I am "An eye for an eye" person or a "Turn the other cheek" person. Maybe it just depends

I Cant wait.


I love these books. I just found out this one is out (like a month now). These always have some kind of mystery, romance and are always funny. I think this series was the first to ever actually make me laugh out loud. I think most of her novels are.

School rant

  • The Intermediate School has had it list and dates up for this years starting events for a while now but the Middle School I have no idea what is going to happen yet or what my kid will need the first day of school. I have alot of questions for the people at that school cause this will be my first child there.


  • Ok here is the list for my kids school supplies. Well 2 of them anyway.

It is short a few items that I normally see on the list such as dry erase marker, construction paper, paper sacks and a few others.

I dont know why they need all (60 pencils) of this stuff at the beginning of the year. I guess we always had to have it we just kept it at home and would take it as we needed more. My real complaint is Why the hell can we not put our kids name on things? Are we buying school supplies for those who dont bring it? Cause I dont have a problem helping when I can afford it but this puts a strain on my family if I dont have help with school supplies and cloths and sports (no mater what age they are this still has cost) all at the same time.

A lot has happened lately.

A little of everything has happened lately.
  • Death, unexpected very sad.
  • Birthdays....4 Mom turned 50!
  • Jail, Dont really need to tell about this do I, except it wasnt me!
  • Births, I have a new nephew. He is beautiful. I cant wait to hold him. I will post a pic of him it the new mom ok's it!

and yet there is more to come soon.

  • Lots of Birthdays....5
  • Family reunion
  • Back to School and all the shopping that goes with it
  • and I think I am going to have a little drama and unhappy people to deal with soon. I hate dealing with things that I know will make people unhappy or uneasy.

Yuck!



I am never using anything that touches my mouth in a hotel again.

Post Secret


I love Post Secret! It publishes new secrets every Sunday. I am going to pick my fav every week and put it here. I cheated last weekend. I looked on Saturday night and they were up! I was excited. I didnt relized that it would rune my Sunday. I wont be doing it again.

Whats the big deal?

People mag snags US rights to Jolie-Pitt twin pix

Thats the head line from the Star Telegram. They had twins. Its a new baby (well 2 this time). So what there are thousands of them born every day.

A pic will be up on the net on Sunday and the mag out on Monday.

Todays Solar Eclipse!


I love this kind of stuff. I wish I could have seen it.



Youth Sports $$$$

Wow I just found out that sign ups for Football are $75. Thats not too much if you only have one kid but I have 3 that want to play and 2 that want to play soccer. Sign ups are this weekend. I can already feel the paycheck sliping away and I havent even got it yet. Why is it that I always see Decatur/Chico/Boyd/Paradise in the update about sign ups but never Bridgeport? I had to call about it today...which is why I am not prepaired.

I am scared to let my kids play. They might get hurt :(

Hotness!

I hope this will be a weekly thing.....maybe more.

Random Morningness.....

I am ready for the kids to get back to school. It seems like I cant get a schedual down. I have started staying up really late and sleeping most of the morning. I hate that cause I never get anything done.

Bright side is we were out of dog food and the kids didnt tell me so My big outside dog got alot of left overs this morning until I can get to the store. I warmed them up so I dont feel so bad abouto it.

When I was kid I always had chores that I had to do every day and one or two that I did on the weekend. I try to enstill the same idea for my children but they always seem to complain about it and most of the time it doesnt seem to be done right. Its my fault but man I hate staying on them about it cause it makes it a bad day. I think I am going to make a change. They arent going to like it.

I am writing a list of stuff that I am thinking of putting on here. But I am going to do it slowly so I dont run out of stuff to put up.

When do most parents start getting stuff for the new School year?

I actually have most of the stuff on the school supplies list for my 2 youngest in school. (Thanks to some very wonderful Grandparents) But have no idea what the other one needs yet.

I usually wait until tax free weekend. I dont really know why for the actuall school supplies. It doesnt save enough to fight the crowds or going to 10 places just to find a certain color folder. I will rant about school supplies list later. But the clothes it is worth it because I have 3 in school and I can get stuff for the whole family tax free! In all I would say it saves me at least $30 and all the stores have everything on sale. (I love JC Penny on this weekend) So by the end of one day I tend to save well over $200.

New to this!

Ok so I am going to try this for a few weeks and see how it works out for me. I have a few blogs that I read one everyday and other once a week or when something is going on. Well see how it works.
