Life and Stuff

  • This past week was beautiful.
  • Thanksgiving was nice. We had our cousin and her family show up this year. Their plans were canceled last minute. It was really great to have them back.  Its not quite the same with so many people gone.
  • One of my Aunts used to bring her own bowls to take stuff home. It had been a long time since I had seen her do that but she started again this year. 
  • Her sons girl friend is just like her!  I laughed when I made that realization the other day while talking about them. This was the first time we all had met the girlfriend. They were late. So everyone was just about done when they showed up.  We all started putting things away after they got their plates (because it was outside).  She stopped eating and made her togo plates. Did you see that s on the end?  That's because she used every cup we had to make her togo plates. The kids didn't have anything to dink out of after that.  In the middle of making her plates she also stated that she was so busy making the togo plates that she hadn't even finished her lunch!
  • I ended up with a ton of stuff to bring home. Not because I asked for it but because my mom put it in mu car.  She is great. I love her bunches!
  • The hubby didn't go to lunch because he was too busy playing golf. I didn't really mind.  Surprisingly.
  • The hubby's side of the family came over for the weekend. I love them. We had a good time. I was glad to have them but man they sure can piss me off.  Don't expect to come to my house and drink my beer for 2 days straight and not bring any. 
  • We always have beer in the house.  Usually alot of it.  They finished it off and I bought more. Just enough for the hubby and me though.  Then the hubby went and bought more.  Then the cousins asked me to go get more. I said sure but I wasn't paying for it.  They changed their mind.   I still ended up paying for more somehow.   Geezz people!  OH well.  At least I go to see them.
  • OH and I was supposed to go Black Friday shopping. I changed my mind before I even got out of bed. I didn't want to deal with that mess.
  • Oh and I have a question. Is it drinking if I put Irish Cream in my coffee in the morning?  I sure hope not because it is sooo good and that will be how I drink my coffee from now on. :)

  • So I had 2 kids with poetry projects last.  I say had because they have to be turned in Monday. NO late project will be accepted because they extended the due date by a week already.
  • One of them is complete for sure. I know because I had to hold a hand to get it done.  I almost feel like I did more of the work than he did.  Thing is, its all his words and thoughts I just helped him organized them. 
  • On a last minute thing this morning I remembered we still had to do the pictures for them and we never sent them to be printed.  I love one hour Walmart photo!  One of them didn't turn out the way it should have. The guy and I had a hard time understanding what I wanted. Once he let me show him what I was going to do with the pictures he gave me exactly what I needed!  Thank you Tim in the photo department of Walmart. You made my day.
  • They other project was not the same as this one. I know the writing part of it is done but I am not sure it is what the teacher wanted.  I tried to tell him that and I was going to show him a few other ideas he could have put in his project but he didn't seem interested.  He wanted to be outside playing.
  • Yes they both had a full six weeks to complete their projects. Both started only 2 weeks ago and had done very little before the holiday. I was mad, frustrated, irritated, and pissed off by that.
  • I hope that the teachers are still going to put in grades when they get back to school on Monday. If not 2 of my children are going to be in big trouble. 
  • We have a no C policy.
  • We will see.
I hope everyone had as wonderful and blessed a holiday as I have had.  It's time to get back to the grind..

So cool!

 
I love this!  I found a website that I could just type in words and it put them in for me. Then I got to play with the colors and other stuff too! 
 
BTW- I did this today rather than the ton of other stuff that needed to get done!

Life and Stuff

  • Short and sweet!
  • I have no idea what I really want to do for Thanksgiving. My husband wants to just stay home and do our own.
  • We are not. We are however going to go to my Grandfathers. I personally have not gone there in years.  I don't really have any desire to go though but I do want to be with family on one of my favorite holidays.
  • I do love my family.
  • Tonight I was in a baking mood. So this week we are going to have lots of stuff to snack on.
  • Sopapilla Cheese Cake, banana pudding, Cinnamon rolls (home made, I am doing them in the morning because it takes like 6 hours to do them right).
  • Then I get to start baking for Thursday.
  • The kids are excited to be out of school for the week. Me too kinda. I hope we get lots of stuff done. 
  • My youngest boys room has been clean (almost spotless) for over a week now.  I am completely shocked by this.  Getting them new beds where they cant hide stuff under was the best idea ever!
  • My hubby keeps pissing me off. He plays cards on his phone and keeps buying chips when he is all out.  That wouldn't be a problem except he is spending 20 dollars a day on something that even if he wins is never going to pay out any money?  What the hell is the point in that?
  • For some reason I am already in the mood to do Christmas shopping.
  • It might be because all but one of the kids have given me a good list to start with. I get so excited buying gifts for other people.
  • Thats it for now.

Life and Stuff...

  • So I was told I needed an update. Here it goes...
  • The kids are keeping me busy. 
  • Football is finally over.  The boys finished off with a win which was nice for them.
  • One ended up with more playing time the last 2 games due to an injury of another player. He played both sides of the ball. I was excited for him. The last game he had to tell the coach he needed to come out a minute for a break. I think it was the only time he was off the field.
  • Damn kids a school keep giving him a hard time though.  They keep telling him they are better than him and he sucks and they don't know why he is on the A team.  I feel bad for him but keep reminding him that not only did he start on A team with a starting position but also kept it all season and then when they needed someone to fill in they asked him. He must be doing something right.
  • Last night the other one told me some kids were picking at kid 1 and his basketball skills. Don't get me wrong I have no illusions that he can play but they still don't need to be picking at him. I think its past time for a talk with the coaches.  The kid takes all this stuff to heart.
  • One of the boys got into a fight at school since the last time I posted.  Geez my boys should know better. I have a no fighting policy.  For any reason.
  • The little ones are playing basketball and the 2 middle schoolers are trying out for basketball. I will let you know how that goes.
  • I have never watched a young kids basketball game. I know they slowly add all the rules to the game.  I don't think you can even block in the youngest ones age group. Who knows but I am excited.
  • They hubby is good.  He has also just finished up football (coaching).  I am truly glad it is over.  But I think he will be the commissioner next year which will be alot more work.  At least it will be the he wants it and I wont have to listen to him complain.  I hope he makes the changes that need to be made.
  • This is going to be me pouting so you can skip the next one if you want :)
  • He says he is going to take me out to see the new Twilight movie but I am not holding my breath. Then he tells me I need to invite one of our friends.  :( I just want a date with my hubby for once. It has been over a year since we went out by ourselves.  (and yes I haven't even been married a year)  He owes me a date :)
  • Oh! Oh!  I put together 2 loft beds for the little boys. Me all by myself without help from anyone. I must say they look good, there are no left over parts, no scratches, and everything is nice and tight.
  • Do you know why all that is true? Because I am a woman. I know how to read instructions and follow them.  I don't do things my own way just because I think they are right. I do them the right way.
  • Ok so maybe I did them by myself because my husband wont let me help him put anything together any more because I am a little bossy and give little suggestions of how to help.
  • Oh and I think I might be in trouble when my littlest one get older.  He is going to be a ladies man.  Not only is he cute and sweet, he knows it too.
