Uggg

Something is wrong...

• I keep getting these really bad head aches on the left side of my head.
• My left eye keeps bothering me. I had it checked and it is inflamed.
• I keep clenching my jaw. It just makes it worst. I have to really think about not doing it.
• Any time I do something that put pressure on the left side of my head it really hurts and sucks since I like to sleep on my left side:(

I am seriously thinking about going to see the doc.

Grocery Shopping....

I hate it. I cant wait for the new Brookshire to get here.

I always shopped at Diamonds before it caught fire but there were many things I didn't like about it but didn't shop IGA because I could never find anything (they changed the store around like 3 times when I first moved here).

• The produce never fresh.
• The food always seemed to have dust on it, even if you knew they just put it out.
• The service sucked.
• People ate at the check out and then licked their fingers clean before they checked you out. Yuck. I always waited in line before I would go to them.
• The sackers needed to be trained. I am pretty much a whatever type person but man you just don't put cans with chips or bread. You don't put boxes on top of meat(really like my meat by itself), it pokes holes in the wrap. And when I ask where my bread is I don't expect to here I didn't know you had bread and then find it in the bottom of the basket.

It caught fire and I had to go to IGA. I liked it at first.

• The produce was fresh and looked yummy! My kids liked this because I always seemed to keep fruit in the house.
• Most of the time all checkouts were open.
• The sackers seemed to be trained.
• The store was a lot cleaner.
• And the people more friendly.
• All of this sorta changed after a while. The sackers and checkers started to slack a little and were playing around. The store wasn't as clean and they didn't seem to have the produce they had when I first started shopping there, but most of this is understandable. They all of a sudden had the business of Diamonds. It was never bad just slacking compared to a few months before. They also hired some of the kids from Diamonds. I think that was a bad idea.

Diamonds reopens! I waited a few days to go.

• The store is really clean.
• The service is great.
• The produce is fresh and looks great.
• There is more room and the products look really good.
• The prices are cheaper than IGA.
• The checkouts are open and they are packed.
• There are not any kids working at the store. I know kids need jobs but man this was really nice. It seems adults are better at service than kids.

Now just a few months later...

• They have a bunch of kids in there that like to f*** off.
• The produce doesn't look as good.
• And they hired back the worst sacker I have ever seen!

Sigh. Did I mention that I can't wait for Brookshire!

How could I forget?

I had a Mom moment this weekend! My oldest son went to his first dance.

• I was more excited than he was. There have been a few other dances this year but he has wanted to go to any.
• There was no girl. Just wanted to go.
• I asked if it would be too embarrassing if I came and took pictures. Don't worry I didn't.
• Laid down the law...DON'T LEAVE and NO KISSING. I really did say this but didn't really think he would do them anyway.
• He got ready, I gave him some money, and then dropped him off.
• Then I tried really hard not to cry on the way home to sit and wait.
• Picked him up. He was right on time.
• I asked him all kinds of questions.
• Did you have fun? yes
• Did you dance? some
• With any girls? NO
• Well when did you dance then? At the end to the Macarena(sp?) and one other one.
• Did you spend all your money? yeah.
• What did you get? Pizza, Candy and a drink.
• Then I got the whole I am tired of talking about this look and sigh. :(
• The next day I ran into some adults that had chaperoned the dance. They said he was great. No one really danced except to the group songs. They also said all of his friends are about a foot taller than he is.

Post Secert..

I really like this one. It made me laugh.

Rotten Kids...

My dirty, rotten kids sure do make me smile. :)

I have other pics with all the kids in it but can you see the bottom of his pants? He has been coming in like that for the past few days. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. And that rotten one pulled the petals off my roses :(

I signed them all up for sports this weekend. I made them all pick one. I have done the multiple sports thing and it sucks.

• Too many practices.
• Have to pic which game you are going to when the over lap.
• Practices too.
• I don't want to teach my kids to commit to something they know they can not do.

My MIL wasn't to happy about that but with them each playing one sport I now have 3 soccer teams (my youngest 2 will be together) and 1 baseball team. I am excited though, just going to be really busy.

Valentines Day....

was not romantic, but I did enjoy it. I signed the kids up for sports (more on this later). Then the hubby used some equipment from work to level out the driveway. Thank you honey! The little ones really loved this because he let them have a ride. We will soon be getting a load of rock to finish up the drive. The neighbors walked down to see what was going on. I wanted to see a movie but the hubby put down a big fat No. He didn't want to. My Mom stopped by to drop off some stuff and to give the boys a hug. She is so sweet. She also brought chocolate for everyone.

I was going to make a phone call and noticed that the florist had been calling. I didn't order flowers, so I ask the hubby. He didn't order any. Well what could they want then? I called them back thinking I would just leave a message because it was already 6. Nope they were still there, got directions to the house and delivered a dozen roses. They are beautiful and smell so pretty. You can smell them as soon as you walk in the door. The card only reads "with love". Really you didn't send them? They were from my step father. He was out of town last week and was thinking of all his girls(Mom, sis, and me) so we all received flowers this year. Thanks Will. Love you too! That's it! A day with the kids and hubby with a visit from Mom and a nice surprise that evening. I wish every day could be so nice.

And theres More

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY - A homeowner east of Decatur came home to find two
suspects in the process of burglarizing his home around 1 p.m. Tuesday. Matt
Little and his brother, Mike, saw the suspects leaving the house with their arms
filled with guns. When the suspects saw the brothers, one fled on foot and
another jumped in a car. The one in the car attempted to escape, nearly running
over one of the brothers. The brothers shot at the car tires and the motor. The
other suspect ran across a field to a road where David Barksdale was fencing.
Barksdale had heard the commotion and had gotten his rifle from his truck. When
the suspect approached him, Barksdale pulled out his rifle and told him to wait
for police. The suspects, identified as Harrison Sanders, 55, and Charles Ray
Baker, 57, from Denton County, were arrested and charged with aggravated
robbery.

Man there has been a lot going on in this county the past week. There are a lot of guns in this story. First the robbers had their arms full of guns. To me that means at the very least 4 one for each hand but sounds like more than that. The brothers shot at the car(they could have killed them, I think the car was the better choice) so theres 2 more. Then there was a guy that just happen to be there with a rifle in his truck. Thats a lot of guns. Maybe just to me because we dont have any guns.

Its almost Valentines Day....

So I made a post and had to redo it. I was being to bitchy. I dont know what we are doing yet for Valentines Day. We are going to have all five of our kids. I would like to take them to see a movie. I usually get them a small box of candy and I get the hubby something too. Nothing big, something very practical and a big box of candy. I havent gotten any of this done yet.

Now I love my hubby but man he doesnt ever know what to get me for any present any time of the year. I am not all girlly and I never wear jewelry, so buying it for me is pointless. I would much rather have something I need or would use. Flowers are very pretty but they die so I can see that $50 going to something useful. My gifts from him are usually nothing or a day to go get it myself with friends and without the kids. I am happy with either.

I have to make 2 Valentine boxes tonight or tomorrow. I wish I knew they were having a party before the weekend. I picked out the kids cards on my own. They both wanted the same box so I split them in half and they each have a little of both. My little ones were very upset with me that they didnt get one.

These are my Kids!

Aren't they Beautiful?!?!

I took some individual ones of them but I figure putting that many pics in one post might kill some of shock.

Stuff

• My Dad bday was last week and I forgot to call him. I thought about him all day too. I feel awful.
• My kids want everything they see.
• My neighbors dogs never stay in their yard. Our big dog in the back yard doesnt like one of them anymore. I am not sure what happen.
• Our dog got out of the fence once. The kids were out side and came running to tell me. We looked for him for an hour and couldnt find him. I came home and called the dog catcher. She had already picked him up. Granted he is a large dog and while friendly some would be scared. Why is it that he can be out for less than an hour and she has been called and found him and picked him up but my neighbors dogs run all over the place and dig in everyones trash for months and they still have never been picked up? Oh they have dug a whole under my fence too. I am not happy about that.
• Hubby got his new computer put together this weekend. He loves it.
• I was supposed to get the van fixed today but I still didnt take it. I am tomorrow.I hope.

Oh My Goodness...

This weekend was a weekend for accidents. I feel very sorry for the families in our area that lost their children. I have a few thoughts on both of them but I am not so sure I should post them so I will tone it down a little as my heart truly aches for these families.

CHILD DEATH - A 15-year-old Aurora boy was found dead in a small field in
the Aurora Vista community just after 8 Saturday morning. Rowdy Robles' body was
found lying next to a fence on Aurora Vista Trail with a deep puncture wound.
The Wise County Sheriff's Department along with the Texas Rangers are
investigating the questionable death. Authorities say at least three children,
ages 13-17, had broken into vehicles close to where Robles was found just before
midnight. One of the children, the brother of the deceased, was caught by a
homeowner. Walker said at least two others escaped, and that charges will be
filed on everyone involved. The victim's body was sent to the Tarrant County
Medical Examiner's office for an autopsy. Funeral for Robles is 2 p.m. Wednesday
at Anderson-Clayton Funeral Home in Mesquite with burial in Roselawn Cemetery in
Seagoville. Coker-Hawkins Funeral Home in Decatur is handling
arrangements.

I would like to know what the press release actually said. I read that stated more than what was reported at the time. So I am not sure this is all or if there is more. I am not sure what to think about this. If this were a grown man I wouldn't feel a bit bad for the man if this happen due to an escape from a crime(the family i would but not the man) but it is not this boy is still a child.

FATAL ACCIDENT - One child was killed and three others were injured Sunday
afternoon in a one-vehicle accident on Farm Road 2952 in Bridgeport.
Six-year-old Allison Hamner, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected and
killed when the vehicle rolled on the northbound shoulder. Tiffany Renner, 33,
of Bridgeport was driving southbound on FM 2952 when she drifted onto the
shoulder. DPS troopers said she was on the shoulder of the road for at least 200
yards before getting the minivan back onto the road where she overcorrected and
rolled onto the northbound shoulder. Three other small children - Macie Hamner,
8, Madeline Hamner, 10, and Malory Owen, 9, all of Chico - were taken to Wise
Regional Health System with non life-threatening injuries. Renner was not hurt.
Funeral for Allison Hamner is pending at Hawkins Funeral Home in
Bridgeport.

This is extremely sad. I cant tell if the driver of the van was the mother of the children. I only have one problem with this. Why was she not buckled in? My children are always buckled up, even just to drive 2 blocks to Maw maw's house. They were even more snug today.

Hubby

I am mad at him sorta. He ordered parts for his new computer last night. I think he was sneaky about it. I was doing something and he says This is what I am ordering and names off a bunch of parts. Where I was sitting I couldnt really see what everything was nor how much each thing cost. He then tells me the total price for the computer. While its not over what we had discussed he has already bought a video card in December for this computer. He just purchased it early because his went out. So that adds about $500 to the price which is $500 over. I was says thats a lot what did you get and he tell me about everything but the most expensive part. I am saying all the other things are to high already. Then last night he tells me what he paid for a single part of the computer. It was way over priced because it is the best they have out right now and wont be in 2 months. I am really pissed about that. He knows I would never approve of that kind of price. Since he could get one that is almost just as new and will run just as well for several hundred dollars less.

With all this being said there is nothing really wrong with his computer, its just not the best that is out there any more. I am not really happy about this purchase. I am the kind that would rather save it or use if for something for the family. He on the other hand would spend every dime on what ever he wanted.

Stuff...

• Sigh, I am not sure if its relief or from being just plain tired.
• We received our Tax return already. We have already started spending it.
• The kids still love their new beds.
• I hate making them. Its so damn hard to make the top bunk because of the side rails.
• I am on a cleaning mission today. The kids are going to hate it.
• I am taking my van to the shop tomorrow. I get a rental but it just not the same as having your own.
• I am making new recipes every night this week. We are tired of the same ol thing.
• I am even cooking with onions! (I hate onions.)
• Everyone seemed to like last nights dinner. It was kinda spaghetti but different. It had corn and a few other things in it, as well as different noodles. I was excited because it was something new.
• I double the recipe last night because it said it was only 5 servings and there are 7 of us. I shouldnt have. It was way to much food. I will be eating left overs for a month. Or the dogs will have a nice treat in a few days.
• If you have any good somewhat easy recipes you would like to share I am all ears.
• Our little dog chews up everything in sight. It seems like he is always in trouble. I feel bad for him.
• My hubbys dips snuff. Yuck. Every time I go to Walmart I buy it. Here in town it is $6.00 a can. There I can buy 5 for $20.00.
