WTH????

• Where did the rain come from?
• My yard looks like it snowed.
• My neighbor has a Cotton Wood Tree. I want to cut it down.
• We have one but it doesnt produce.
• I think my other neighbor is joining in on netflix. She came to talk to me about it after her daughter was here and amazed we had it on our tv.
• The local movie store is closing.
• I really do like Netflix.
• My husband has been wanting a movie but I forgot to send the other one back and now I cant find it.
• SHH...I havent told him. I reporting to Netflix when I am done. I wonder how much they are going to charge me for it?
• Today was the last day of School!!!!!!!!!!!!
• The kids are already driving me nuts.
• They keep bickering and one keeps whining. I sent him to bed for a nap. That didnt go over so well.
• We are having diner way early tonight. Well for us anyway. Its a quick one...fish sticks and french fries. Good diner, huh?
• Sometimes easy just has to do.
• The boys have a soccer game tonight.
• They told me last night.
• I dont expect to be home before 9.
• The rain came quickly and left just the same.
• Damn. My yard needed some rain.
• I love the rain. The sound(even better with a little thunder) the smell and the green that follows.
• 2 weeks until we are headed off to Disney World :)
• We are having family pictures taken at my Mom's house on Saturday morning before we head off to Houston.
• That was the solution to me over booking my weekend. I am ok with it. My hubby not so much. It took some talking him into it before he would agree to leaving on Saturday.
• You wouldnt believe the Transportation Parade. There were all kinds of stuff. It was beautiful.
• Kolby's truck didnt quite make it though. They were in and out and the trip to the school didnt help it I am sure.
• It worked great at home but not so much there.
• The back end was carried by a friends son. He is a good kid and always helpful.
• Did I say my kids were driving me nuts already? They keep picking and picking and picking.
• If I freak out and yell my head off they might straighten up. I am hoping its just excitement that school is over. Well see soon.
• I have a lot to do tomorrow. Including get my tire fixed, well really buy a new one since they told me it cant be fixed. I keep putting it off though. Sigh.
• That is all for now. I have a soccer game to get ready for :)

Finally.....

Its done! It took longer that I expected and I am sure will only last a day or two but it was fun and Kolby and I had a good time :)

Crap. Crap. Crap....

• I over booked this weekend.
• We are supposed to have family pictures on Saturday afternoon.
• We are also supposed to go to Houston this weekend.
• Cant do both. My hubby is not going to be happy with me.
• I order some contacts for my son but they still havent arrived. It is getting annoying.
• Tomorrow is the last day of school.
• The awards over lap. I cant go to everything and they boys are not happy about it.
• I finally finished the 18 wheeler box. Well all except the decorating it. It is painted we just have to draw on it.
• I am excited about this summer and all the things we are doing.
• I am also frustrated with some people who dont know how to mind their own business.
• I have company now so I will have to do this later.

Weekend...

• Sometimes people I love really piss me off. Sometimes people that piss me off are only tolerated.
• I had a pretty good weekend.
• I didnt get the kids 18 wheeler finish like I had wanted but it will be done before tomorrow night.
• Everyone keeps telling me there is no way it is going to making through the Parade.
• Its going to have a test run just to make sure.
• I went to the OHV park this weekend. I had never been there before. We were in jeeps. It was a good time but man it scared the crap out of me sometimes. I had to close my eyes.
• If you dont know what an OHV park is, it the Off Highway Vehicle park.
• It was time spent with family so of course it was a good time :)
• Then the kids went to the MIL's house. They had asked to stay the night on Friday she said they could on Saturday instead.
• The hubby told me he wanted to go out. I was excited at date with the hubby :)
• Not so much :( We did go have dinner and then went bowling with friends. I really really wanted a date.
• It wasnt bad though because I ended up having a really great time. I got to meet the hubby's cousin's new girl friend. I like her but worry that he will be attached to a relationship that isnt going anywhere, and doesnt have the potential to go anywhere. She is planning to move out of state when she sells her house.
• There are other things about her that cause me worry for him to get attached but hey she is making him happy so that is what counts. Right?
• I have been doing laundry for what seems like weeks now. I am almost done but I know as soon as the boys clean their rooms it will be like I never even started it. Sigh. I hate laundry.
• My oldest son is giving me dirty looks because I am making him work on his school project. Its due Tuesday and its only about half done...if that. He has had it for several weeks.

Nap?

I so did not get a nap.....

Its been a while...

• My baby is 5 today. I am happy and sad about this.I have cried alot about him getting so big.


• This week was rough with his birthday and registering him for Kindergarten.


• Field/Play day was today. The note said they may get a little wet. They were sliding down a slide into a pool of water. A little ? Really? Come on. I felt bad for all the kids that had to stay at school the rest of the day.


• My little man said he wanted to stay so he could eat lunch and watch the movie with his class, half way through he changed his mind :)


• I have been making an 18 wheeler for the Transportation Parade. Well sorta. I have come up with the idea of how to make it and we have the boxes and all the stuff I need (well except the paint).


• A little girl is going to be riding with my son. Her mom said she wasnt making one. I am taking the box 18 wheeler up on Monday so she can help decorate one side of it.


• I still cant believe someone would tell their child they are not going to do a school project. She told her she would have a headache. Sigh. We have known about it 3 weeks before it needed to be complete. It just makes me mad every time I think about it.


• Some Friends asked if I would be going to my High School Reunion. I am not. We will be coming home from Disney. I cant say that I am too upset about it either. :)


• We have made arrangements for us all to get together. That I am super excited about.


• I cant believe I have been out of school for 10 year already. It seems like it was just yesterday and yet so long ago.


• I have a hang over. I never get hang overs. Mostly because I dont usually drink enough to get one but even when I do drink to much I dont get hang overs. Grr.


• Yes I know it was the middle of the week and I should have had so much but damn it I was having a hard week and decided to have a beer after diner and chill out a bit and well it tasted sooooo good, so I had one or two more :)


• Ok its nap time for me. I hope anyway.

Rain, Rain, and more Rain!

• I love the rain!
• Practice and Games have been canceled. I am not sure how I really feel about it. I have been feeling lazy so didnt really want to get up and get moving but I really like watching them play.
• Got the boxes to make the 18 wheeler. Going to get started this weekend. I have to figure out how to make it where it can come apart and be put back together easily.
• I have to help my oldest put together his classes for next year.
• Most of the electives for 8th graders are FHA related. I dont really like that.
• I had to call the school to figure out what some of the classes were. Pre Ag (which is wood shop), Ag Communications, Personal Skills, Wildlife Management, Livestock Production. There is also Band, Spanish, Video Tech, Yearbook, and Office Aide. Those last 3 the kids had to turn in an application for.
• I think that he will end up starting high school with 3 or 4 credits.
• That being said I am worried about how much homework the Pre Ap classes along with those going to give him credits will be. He hasnt been one for doing homework this year.
• I have to get my youngest one registered for Kindergarten. :( I have been shedding tears just at the thought.
• Instead of a birthday party for my little ones they have decided they want to go see Iron Man 2.
• My MIL is not happy about it. I told her to talk to the hubby about it but on her own time and not when he is home because I dont want to hear them argue about it.
• We are having family pictures taken at my Mom's house soon.
• I really like netflix.
• I keep forgetting to return the movies though. I watch alot of them on the computer.
• My hubby keeps watching scary movies. I hate scary movies. I had to put my foot down about a few of them because he watches them with the kids. They dont seem to bother them but it does me.
• Thats all for now because I forgot everything else :)

Hmmmm...

• I absolutely hate it hate it hate it when my children tell me things last minute that they have know about for days sometimes even weeks.
• This is happening alot lately. I dont know if it because they are getting lazy and not remembering or if its the end of the year and more stuff is going on.
• I made a rule about that kind of stuff at the beginning of the year that I have now brought back full force. If I dont know about it the night before its not going to happen. It will have to wait till the next day. This includes lunch money, meetings, and extra things for school (like chips and dip and drinks for parties).
• My son had a math problem that I wasnt sure about last night. That has never happen before.
• I noticed how dark it is outside. I hope we get some of the rain to go with it this time. It has split and just missed us for the past two days.
• Allergies have been recking havoc around here.
• We have a new post master that keeps sending all of mine and my sons mail back. It really pisses me off because we have been getting mail at the same po box for 7 years up until about 2 months ago. I am still getting all the stuff that has to be paid for but not the bills and birthday cards.
• My Grandma mail birthday cards on April 15th and we just got it yesterday. Almost a whole month later.
• My hubby was off early yesterday. He cut tree limbs for me until he broke the chain on the saw.It looks better sorta. He is not so graceful in doing stuff so some of the limbs he cut are really ugly.
• I will be fixing them of the next few days.
• Our neighbors were looking over the fence to see what we were doing as the trees that have grown along the fence line disappeared. A year ago there werent any trees there and now there are a bunch. They are all going. I kinda feel bad because they shade part of their year but I cant stand them (the trees not the neighbors).
• I have an acquaintance is that I have discovered is extremely racist. I have know her for a few years and it is only very recently I have heard any kind of racist remarks. I am not sure what to do. It disturbs me to no end because our children are good friends and play sports together. Her kids are very well behaved and nice kids. :-/
• On that note...I feel that people in general are good. I trust almost everyone until they give me reason not to. I feel very naive.
• We have to make a form of transportation for the Kindergarten Transportation Parade. This is what we do instead of graduation. Basically you start with a box (or something light weight) and make some form of transportation and paint and decorate it. This is supposed to be done as a project with(not for) your child. On the last day of school each child with walk with their transportation in a parade.
• It is very cute and has become very creative. There are army tanks, planes, jeeps, boats, motorcycles, and all kinds of things. My son wants to make a 18 wheeler. I am thinking that he can carry the front and we will put moving wheels on the trailer part so he can just drag it.
• On child has already come to school and said her mom said she wasnt making one because "She is going to have a head ache and her Grandmother wont help." This ercks me. She still has 2 1/2 weeks to do it and she is going to have a head ache the whole time? Sigh. She can ride (walk) with my kiddo. We might just make an extra one for her. :)
• My sons teacher has been really great this year. I would like to get her something to show our appreciation. Anyone have any ideas for a good gift for a great teacher?

Happy Mothers Day!

• Happy Mothers Day to all!
• This weekend has been great.
• I went to a birthday party for a cousin. It was fun.
• Everyone stayed around and had a big people party after.
• I love being with my family.
• They make me happy and I always feel at peace around them :)
• They are good for my heart and soul.
• My Mom and Will sent me some flowers for Mothers Day.
• They are beautiful and smell wonderful. The whole house smells of fresh flowers :)
• My mouse is messed up so I stole the one on the boys computer. I have had it about a week but they really really really want it back :( No more computer for me until I get to the store for another one.
• Happy Mothers Day. I hope you all have a wonder day!

Life....(cant belive I didnt have a title up here)

• We have ordered some ear plugs for my son. (the one that got tubes put in his ears) With baths and swimming over the summer and vacation coming soon I think they will be worth the money. He isnt old enough to do the disposable ones on his own and I am not sure he would notice if they came out anyway.
• One of my 5th graders got Taks results back (for the ones they took in March) but the other one didnt. I wonder if he did and just didnt bring them home.
• How does the school not see a problem with a kid missing one period in the middle of the day? I mean they know if they are signed out and have left. So the attendance has to be wrong, right? I mean my kids are too young to be skipping school.
• I am so glad they didnt have the grades and attendance on the computer when I was in school. I love it as a parent but as a student I am sure I would have hated it.
• The hubby wants to start looking for cars for the oldest one. He will be 13 this year. Option is get one they can work on together or get one that we would drive for a few years first.
• I dont really like either option.
• My hubby never finish any projects around here. Either I have to finish them or they will sit undone.
• Something that I would want my son to drive wouldnt have enough room for the family. I mean the hubby could drive it but I cant see him going from his (big ol') truck during the week to a small car on the weekends.
• I have been up way to long this morning. My little one woke me up just before 3 and with the snoring bear in the bed next to me I couldnt get back to sleep.
• Its Cinco de Mayo! My son said they are learning about Mexico today.
• I went to a band concert last night. The sixth grade band was good. Better than the second band, which made me want some ear plugs of my own...no it wasnt that bad. They did still need a little work on it though. The last band was good. They played a superhero song and had people dress up as the super heroes. It was cute.
• I have been doing laundry like a mad woman. I hate laundry. I think the kids are going to start doing their own. They already know how....
• I wrote this at six in the morning but forgot to post it...silly me. I guess thats what lack of sleep does to you :)

Stuff...

• This weekend was good.
• We had a great day at the zoo on Friday. It was my sons birthday. My mom met us at the zoo so my littlest one could go with us.
• We also met my cousin and her daughter on their field trip. I was nice that they were both the same day.
• We had cupcakes and all the kids , well most of them, scraped the icing off them. Whats wrong with those kids. The adults didnt get one cause there were more than expected with us.
• I never thought keeping up with kids at the zoo would be so much work. I think if it were just ours it wouldnt have been a problem because we could have just threatened to beat them if they didnt mind.
• I had one of the sweetest boys go with me and took lots of pictures of all of them together.
• No soccer this weekend :) I dont know why but it seems like a beating this year.
• I am stressed is an understatement. I am always sleepy, no mater how much sleep I get.
• We kinda just hung out all weekend. Watched the kids ride their bikes in the road. One of them is almost ready for training wheels to come off. :) He is getting so big.
• The grass in the front is looking good. I just hope I continue to remember to water it. I have also been picking stickers out of the yard. I am hoping to get them all before they get a good start. I hate stickers. I like to walk around with out shoes on and I cant even do that in the house cause the kids track so many in.
• Kids say the funniest stuff. Its so random.
• The older ones are picking some stuff up at school that I dont like at all.
• I know its because they are getting older but I still dont like it....Speaking of getting older. Our neighbor has a crush on one of the boys. She was talking about it but not saying who and he was naming the characters in Twilight and she asked him for a last name cause his name is the same. He said "Not me. Ewe gross!" Poor girl. As she rode off she said "I dont like you anyway."
• Every time I see a Police Officer with someone pulled over I think to myself what an ass, but in all the times I have been pulled over not once have any of them been an ass or even just the slightest bit rude.
• I need to get invites out for the boys bday party. We always do it in between the two birthdays. Its just easier to do them together.
• The post office is starting to piss me off. They keep sending some of our mail back. My son and I dont not share the name as the rest of the house. I get half of my mail and they sent all his birthday cards and presents back. It hasnt always been like that. It just started in the past 2 months or so. I am making a special trip to see the post master in the morning. I am not looking forward to it.
• I guess thats it for now....
