Thanksgiving...

• was nice.


• We went to my SIL's. So it was her family, and our family and their parents.


• The drive was still long though. The kids were great though.


• The little one had to pee every 30 mins on the way back though. We finally just started stopping on the side of the road and letting him go. I figured what cop would give me a ticket for a 4 yr old peeing? right?


• Man it always seems like my MIL is fighting with one of her children. Well this weekend I got to hear both ends of the fight. Man she is just crazy about somethings but I understand her point. I just dont agree with it or the reasoning behind it.


• My SIL's new house is nice. Not too big (or small) and has a great lay out. Online it looked like it had a huge back yard. Its not.


• We took the little dog with us. He played with their dogs really well for not usually being around other dogs.


• I think I am going to give him away soon :( I dont think that we should have any more animals.


• I am really pissed at my husband. Not only did he build a fence this weekend and finish it (and he never finished mine) but he also hung up Christmas lights. Why can he do everything for other people but cant manage to do them for his own family?


• He also does his mothers breaks and oil when his father calls and ask. Along with other things, like fixing a water line for them after work one day (the same day it messed up) but it took him 2 months for him to fix ours when someone ran over it. I just dont get him.


• I sometimes wonder .............
• I was ready for the kids to go back to school and the hubby to get back to work.

Stuff..

• I took the dog to the groomer today. She did a great job.
• He got to pick the kids up with me today to. They all loved it and so did he.
• While we wait my little one and I went to the park and then visited my Grandmother.
• My uncle fell yesterday and broke the ball of his hip joint off. He is having hip replacement surgery. This is his second bike accident. He was hit by a car a few years ago. I think its time he put his bike up.
• My SIL is pregnant. She is due in mid(?) Jan. She went into labor early yesterday morning. It was not good. They kept her all day yesterday waiting on a high risk doc. He never showed. She was told to call and make an appointment today. She did and they havent gotten the referral. Sigh. I would say she needs to find a new OBGYN and a new high risk doc.
• I am worried about her. So is the hubby.
• I am not sure what we are going to do for Thanksgiving yet. There are so many places that we can go. It gives me a head ache thinking about it all. And well Christmas is even more to deal with.
• My aunt is getting married to a man that no one in our family has ever met. I didnt even know she was seeing anyone and I am not sure she was. I wonder if it is a marriage of convenience.
• We need to do homework now.

Rock and Roll Forever- How it all began

• That was the name of the school play I just watched.
• My fifth graders were in it. One of them was a dancer and the other sang in the choir.
• It was great!
• Up beat and of course the music helped keep the interest of the little ones.
• I didnt hear one baby/kid scream (well that wasnt part of the play) the whole time.
• The kids were great. It made me laugh and knowing more kids than just my own made it even better. We picked out the kids we knew and checked them out during the show.
• My favorite part was watching the kids that were really into the dances. I cant believe that they learned them all so well. They only had 2 or 3 practices and one dress rehearsal.
• The big surprise was that both sets of other parents came to watch. Grandparents too. It was good to see them so interested.
• One of the boys even got to out with them. He is supposed to be home by 9:30. (that wasnt my doing)
• Great Play, I am proud of my boys!

Stressed....

• I am extremely stressed out. So much that I couldnt sleep last night.
• I have a husband that doesnt understand that if you spend money constantly that you will not have any savings. It drives me nuts.
• The boys lost their last football game. They played really really badly. It was like they worked so hard all season to just give up for the play off games. I dont think this one bothered them as much as the last one did.
• On the bright side of Saturday, my other kido won his last soccer game.
• His coach did show up though. There was supposed to be someone else there to take his place but they didnt show up either and no one else knew anything about it.
• One of the moms took over and did a pretty good job.
• The kids played really really well too! I think it might have something to do with the fact that no one was yelling like crazy at them from the sideline. It was nice and I enjoyed the game for the first time this season.
• I thought last season was bad but this one was worst. It has discouraged my son so much that he has already told me he doesnt want to play again next year. I think I might try basketball with him or maybe even baseball.
• I dont know what my other children will play in the spring. I know that one wanted to play basketball but he never brought home the form for me so he isnt playing. When we asked him why is wasnt playing he said he wanted to.
• We are teaching our kids how to play Texas Hold'em. I am kinda iffy about it, because we are teaching them how to gamble but at the same time we are having a great time as a family. Well the older ones anyway.
• We are playing Gold fish with the little ones along with a few other card games. Kolby has really taken to it and loves it. Alex not so much. He is still a little young and loses interest quickly.
• I am really pissed at 2 of my boys. They made the A/B honor roll because they cant manage to do their homework and turn it in on time. The worst part is that on all the stuff I know about that was late they had it done just didnt turn it in. I mean how stupid is it to get and 89. Thats the only one that is a B and because he has been turning in his work late the teacher (not that I blame him) will not bump it up to a 90. GG son.
• Frustrated...really really frustrated with them.
• I have been shopping online for Christmas. My father in law , who doesnt even know how to turn on a computer, has instructed my MIL to start hers and do it all online instead of going to the store.
• I like going to the store to look for something as long as I know what I am looking for. I hate to go and just search for something that looks good to buy.

Yummy..

I ate Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries for lunch :) (dry too) Why? Because they are yummy and if I dont eat them now I wont get any cause the kids love them too!

Blah Blah Blah

• We lost the football game last weekend :( I was disappointed. Not with the boys but just in general. You know when you really want something and then it doesnt happen? That kind of disappointment.
• The whole team was really really upset. Nothing like watching 10-12 year old boys cry.
• There were no TD's until the last quarter. They played their hearts out, but it wasnt the best that they have played.
• I felt really really bad for them. They have worked hard this season.
• We also had a soccer game this weekend. We lost it too :( I am used to that though and he doesnt really care win or lose. We only have one more game and then its done. :) I am ready.
• I wanted to be done with my Christmas shopping by the end of this month. I wont be. :(
• We have started though. The problem is we ordered it online and we havent gotten it yet. I have been on the phone to all the stupid people trying to find out what is going on.
• When they say they are going to deliver it FedEx or UPS then I expect it to come to my house not the post office, SO I put my house address on the stupid delivery. Well they both now have services that they drop the package at the local post office and they deliver it. The problem is since I dont have a mail box in front of my home they will not deliver anything to the house (even if it wouldnt fit in a mail box anyway). Its really annoying. I dont know how much more I can take.
• The hubby called yesterday and let me know they were firing people at his work (ON A MONDAY). I freaked out cause I thought he meant they were laying off again. They did last year about this time.
• It turns out that some people in the company were having an affair. The lady's husband came in looking for a fight on Friday. Both people involved are married. The owner was there and was pissed.
• There are rumors that she was involved with more than just one man in the company and one of them talked to the husband to calm him down about the one he knew about and was looking for. That man has some balls if it is true.
• They were to both be fired, but things calmed down and she may be allowed to return and he got to stay.
• The company does (did) business with the husband.
• This situation is nota good.
• I have more football team talk but thats for later.

Little Different...

These are ideas for the cheerleaders on the boys football team....

The first two are from Bath and Body works.

This one is $20.00 but only come in 2 different Japanese Cherry Blossom and Warm Vanilla Sugar. These are full size bottles.


This one is $15.00 and comes in 4 scents (scroll down and it shows the other scents in the recommended area) but the bottles are small.

These are from Bed Bath & Beyond.

I thought this was a cute idea and maybe we could get pics from Tammy if she has any of the cheerleaders and if not we could get her to take some the last few games. The bag itself was only $5.00. I would want to go look at these to make sure they dont look really cheep.

These last two were $20.00 each and from Bed Bath & Beyond. They are both cute and there were 4 that had the same stuff in them but the bag/box they are in are completely different, so they would have to be exactly the same or completely different (2 of them doubled).

Halloween...

• wasnt great for me.
• We stayed in Bridgeport. There werent as many houses with lights on this year.
• When we had finished the boys were not even tired yet. :(
• One of them asked if we were done. When the answer was yes he pouted and said next year he wanted to do what we usually do. (That would be trick or treating with our family in Saginaw)
• I felt bad for him.
• We saved the MIL for last. She filled the buckets the rest of the way up.
• They got a bunch of crappy candy. Very little of the good stuff.
• After we had gotten home and eaten a very late dinner our porch light was on (we leave it on over night). We got trick or treader's at 9:30.
• I was surprised and a little put off. That is really to late for trick or treating. We had candy and still opened the door. It was 5 kids and a Mom that looked very tired and still in her work clothes. They got extra candy in hopes they would fill up fast and get home.
• I threatened not to take them at all because they fought all damn day !!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrr.
• We got a late start because the hubby and one of the boys went to a football game. It was a great game so I hear. It went into double over time. I didnt care because I was to busy being pissy about not getting a head start on the Trick or Treating. (and not getting to do what i wanted)
• They boys were very cute and getting way to big. I didnt get a picture of them because I need a new camera still :(
