Meet...

my new niece, Emily! She was born Jan 19th 2010. She is so beautiful.
And this is just the cutiest little pic of her and her brother! There was another one that was sweeter where he was looking at her and patting her feet but you cant beat the looks on their faces!

What to do?

My kid brought me a progress report this morning. Said he drew on it and scribbled it out. It was on the signature line and just below. It was my initials. I could still see it through the scribbles. :( He says its not. YOU CAN SEE IT!!!!!!!! Grr. I am so mad. Its stupid cause all of his grades are good. 90+ His average is 99. There is a dance tonight and his friend is supposed to come over. I dont want to tell his friend he cant come now because he wont have a chance to make other plans for the dance and his parents may have plans now that he isnt going to be home. Any ideas for a creative punishment? For trying to sign the paper and for the lie.....I dont want to go over board but I want him to know this is not acceptable.

Something happen...

at the school today. A kid was hurt at BIS at the end of the day. I am not sure what happen but the child was going to be transported by ambulance. They blocked off the front of the school and traffic was backed up everywhere. Thats 2 accidents in as many months. Major ones. I am concerned.


****edit**** This wasnt an accident. It had to do with a child with a pace maker and it stopping.

Stuff...

• The kids are stressing me out.
• Hell life in general is stressing me out.
• I forgot to send my kids homework with him last week and now I cant find it. :( He is going to have to redo the whole thing.
• We got a new TV last week. Its nice but I thought it was LCD when I bought it. Its not its plasma.
• That means it uses more electricity and easier for the kids to rune.
• Its huge. The hubby loves it.
• That also means we had to upgrade the dish because we didnt have HD. We do now! We also had them fix our bedroom satellite so we get tv in there too now. :)
• The guy who installed the new Satellite took forever and did a crappy job. He even unplugged my dvd player and used the cable instead of just using one of the HDMI cables. I didnt notice cause well I was just ready for him to get out of my house. The hubby was pissed. At the guy that did it and me for not checking. Oh well we fixed it and I called and complained.
• Our old tv was in a built in so we had a big hole with nothing in it since we hung the TV on the wall. We Fixed it this weekend. It looks nice and now we have more room for our DVD's.
• My hubbys computer is in our bedroom now since the boys have a computer. I hate it. I cant sleep when he is playing because he pounds on the damn keys. I can handle the talking and the light from the monitor but damn it the click click click just pisses me off.
• Did i mention that the kids are stressing me out? I mean really really really stressing me out.
• I am going to be an aunt again on Wednesday :) The first girl :) I am super excited.

Crap I forgot...

A note from the nurse was sent home with my kindergartner letting me know I need to have his hearing checked. My thoughts were whatever he doesn't show any signs of having trouble. He talks well and is doing well with sounds and reading (well with school altogether). But I took him to the doc anyway cause they asked for the note to be sent back with the follow up info. Turns out he does have hearing loss. It is in the moderate range. I asked how much and its 50 decibels. Well how much is that compared to normal. About half. To me that is not moderate at all. That is a big problem. I have all kinds of questions but I am only getting general answers. I wasnt really too satisfied with them. But we did get some nasal spray and a allergy medicine. There was a little bit of water in his ear that may be causing a problem. We want it cleared up before he sees the specialist on the 29th. I am not real excited about this. I am nervous. I am making the hubby go with me to this appointment. I hope that this is not permanent loss of his hearing and that it is not progressive. Since the first appointment I have noticed that he ask what alot but that could just be me being paranoid.

NO F'in Way...

First off today was a bad weather day for my kids. Why? There may have been a little ice first thing this morning but by 9 the roads were clear. The weather people keep telling me its not getting out of the teens for the next day or so but it was below freezing when I was out this afternoon.

I cant believe they lost. I am not a Texas fan but damn. I got really excited and then was let down. They got so close and then just let it fall apart. I feel so bad for them. It was almost as if I could see the life drain out of them. Oh well better luck next time....Maybe more tomorrow.

I have something else to talk about but it needs a special post all to itself so it will have to wait.

I forgot...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

and

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here's my long list....maybe made short!

• Crap. Crap. Crap. I hit the back button by accident.
• My computer is still f'ed. I thought is was going to be simple but the one problem caused a few more.
• Where to start....
• The last of school I was going to Christmas parties at school. They are so cute when they are little and my littlest one got to join in most of the fun. He was really excited about it.
• When I pulled up to the next school there were EMT's caring someone out on a stretcher. I panicked. It was awful.
• I get in and get the boys and talk to a teacher who wouldnt tell me who was hurt (but another parent did). I cant believe that a locker fell on a student. One of my children got to see it happen. It scared him. I hope that they reinforced all the braces for them over the holiday.
• The kids were pretty good over the holiday. That is they all survived :)
• I finished all of my shopping about 4 days earlier than I have any other year. Sorta.
• Can you believe all the snow on Christmas Eve? It was so beautiful. It sucked to drive in though. We were at a family Christmas when the snow blew in. Good thing we were just going Moms after cause it took about an hour longer than it should have just to get there and it took my MIL more than 3 hrs to get from Azle to Bridgeport.
• We let the boys have a snow ball fight that night but it didnt work to well because the snow was dry and wouldnt stick together.
• Mom took a bunch of pictures only to come in and notice she didnt have the memory card in :(
• They tried again but it wasnt the same because the boys had run through everything.
• I managed to piss my hubby off and to get any sleep I slept on the couch on Christmas Eve....grrr him. He put the kids in bed with him.
• Everything was smooth going and we made it to another family Christmas for lunch, and one for diner, and then one in Houston a few days later. While we were gone it snowed again so we came home to snow :)
• While we were in Houston it was getting cold and we didnt do much which was fine with me because I was already worn out.
• MIL wasnt happy about it. Her and the SIL were kinda fighting but kinda not. I think the MIL was getting her feelings hurt. She had alot planned that we didnt do.
• All the kids have a cough. I think we gave it to my nephew. :( The SIL got really sick though and after we had left she had to go to the hospital. She is doing better now though. She is also off her meds to keep her from going into labor. She thinks she will still make it to her due date. I said no way.
• We had another family Christmas on Sunday. I am going to kill my step mother. She got the loudest toy gun ever.
• I just took down my Christmas tree yesterday. I made the kids help. We are missing an ornament that I know we had when it was put up. I think one of the kids may have broken it and thrown it away without telling me.
• All the kids are back at school now :) I am enjoying the quite. Well Alex is still here but he is quite (for now anyway).
• Yesterday I was talking to the hubby and he said he was glad to be back at work instead of sitting at the house doing nothing. ....I dont think we did nothing even one day of Christmas break. Crazy man.

Stuff the kids got for Christmas:

• Computer to share
• Cell phones -big boys
• leapster 2
• ipod docking station
• cameras - all of them
• wii games
• movies
• rocking horse -one of Alex's favorites
• toys
• clothes
• games -rock-n-sock em robots and others we have played them all now. I like them.
• itunes and money.
• I am sure I am forget some but you get the idea.

Still alive

I havent forgot you but my computer broke and I am just now getting it fixed. I have lots of updates. Should be up and running on Monday!
