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.

New Beds

• We put together our kids new beds on Saturday.
• My back hurt after. I dont know if I pulled something or if its just because I was in weird positions for a while.
• They absolutely love them.
• Everyone played in their room most of the weekend.
• The oldest 2 boys were pushing and shoving in there and broke a window. Big trouble.
• I dont think they were going to tell me. I heard it and went to investigate. They werent headed my way. In fact that were talking about what to do. They blamed the little ones. They got caught.
• I have been worried about the one on the top bunk but he is doing just fine. I hate that I cant kiss him when I go to check on him. (even when I stand on a stool I am not tall enough)
• The youngest one still wets the bed sometimes so I put a mat under his sheets. Well he isnt the one who wet the bed. Sigh.
• The new covers are Iron Man and Cars (McQueen if you ask him).
• They absolutely love the new beds and the appreciate them. It is really nice.
• I was going to take a picture but their room is already a mess.
• I went through all their toys and got rid of some of them.
• I put their toddler beds out at the curb. Someone knocked on the door to ask if they could have them. It was a nice. I knew someone would take them (thats why I put them out) because they were still nice I just didnt know anyone to give them to. I wasnt expecting someone to ask first though.

*Edit* I know this is kinda out of order but I dont really want to move it around.

Post Secret

Ok, this got my attention because I play an online game that is kinda like Everquest. First of all shame on her for sleeping with other men. Second you should know there is a problem when your husband lets you sleep with other men. I wonder how many people are like that? That they would share something so sacred for a game.


What is this girl doing at her ex's house? What makes her think he is going to just do without a condom if he cant find them? Some people amaze me.

Friday

• Wow its Friday. Everyone seems to be in a good mood.
• I woke up in a really pissy mood, but it changed very quickly.
• It has been beautiful the past few days.
• We have a fenced in back yard. My husband say my little ones are too young to be out there by themselves. I say if I can see them and hear them they are fine.
• I have big holes in my yard where they keep digging.
• Sports are going to start up again soon. I am excited and dreading it.
• My kids have no idea how much work it is for me when they all need to be in different places at the same time.
• I hate leaving them at practice to go to another one.

*Edit this is was incomplete but I had to go.

Lunch

I ordered Pizza for lunch today from Pizza Hut. It actually got here. *Cheer* I love love love their stuffed crust pizza. My 3 and 4 year olds had to have the biggest pieces in the box. I laughed. They charge you extra to deliver now. $2.00. Are you supposed to tip the delivery guy still?

I hate when I go to a restaurant and they charge gratuity. I usually would leave more than that but if they are already charging a tip to my bill then I don't think I should leave another one. My parents would die if I told them that. I have always been taught you don't tip you over tip.

I guess the answer to my question would depend on if the driver gets the $2.00 or if Pizza Hut keeps it for themselves.

Just stuff...

• It has been a while since I blogged.
• I like the Diamonds, but when I left the other day I was really pissed. The sacker put my cans on top of my meat and it was busted open when I got home. I wouldn't have minded near as much if I hadn't told him not to put anything in with the meat.
• We have a new President. I didn't vote for him, but I am ok with him being the President. I hope that he does great things for this country. We need it.
• I haven't felt like doing much lately.
• I was rear ended yesterday. The lady felt really bad about it. I felt sorry for her. It scared me half to death though.
• When it happened the kids turned around to look and said hey that's so and so's mom. I laughed. They were told not to say anything to him about it.
• I had my oil changed today. It was way over due. I bought the stuff to do it a long time ago. I was going to do it my self and my hubby said no I will do it this weekend. That was over a month ago. I just took it to have it done.
• I bought a set of bunk beds for my littlest boys. They are soon to be 4 and 5. I am worried about putting one of them up so high(even though they play on the one in the older boys room).
• I still have to buy mattresses.
• I was very sorry to hear about the young girl from Decatur.
• I have already filed my tax return. I cant wait to get it back. I already have plans for half of it.
• I had a meeting with my sons teachers today. He isn't getting his work done and when he has to correct his work he gets really frustrated about it. He also didn't do his math homework all week this week(he got grounded for that). I think I am going to take him to see the doctor about helping him focus on what he is doing.
• While at this meeting I had to take my 2 little ones. They colored me a bunch of pictures. They had to show them to me as they went. Man who knew being so sweet could be such a pain in the butt. Both teachers thought they were just so cute.
• I think grounding my children is more of a punishment for me.
• My older kids all have ipods now. They all got itunes card for Christmas. Its a great gift. However, when they all get 2 or 3 $15 gift cards its a lot. It puts all the music on all 3 of them. So they are still trying to spend the $120 in itunes. Its burning a hole in there pocket so to speak.
• I still want to know the details of the county drug bust in Chico.
• I think one of my friends is making a big mistake. It not only involves her but others as well. She doesn't see it coming but there will be major damage there.
• I use liquid laundry soap. Its green. I pour it on white clothes all the time. How come it never stains? Everything else in the world does.
• I play an online game (WOW). In it you can join a guild. This is just a group of people that like to play to get and schedule to do certain stuff in the game. I changed guilds today. It was really sad. There are a few people in the other guild that I would consider my friends. Not just someone somewhere around the world that happens to play the same game I do, but people that I have come to know about their real lives and the people they are and the things they care about. They are people that I have talked to and shared many things with and have a good time with. I was sad to leave them behind. I compared it to moving to another state in real life and leaving your friends and family. You still talk to them and keep in touch, and you can visit them but you are not going to see and talk to them everyday.

I am Stressed...

• I had quit stressing over some stuff I really shouldnt have. Well its all back now. I feel sick. I am going to have to do something.
• I had a crazy dream. I had a break down in my dream. I woke up and felt exhausted as if I had really been crying. I knew the whole dream at the time. I should have written it down because thats all I remember of it now.
• Sometimes I really hate life. I just want to run away and never look back. I dont because of my kids.
• I really love my Mom.
• I miss my sister. She hasnt gone anywhere but I just dont see or talk to her the way I used to. Either she is busy or there is too much stuff going on here.
• I havent made my New Years Resolutions yet.
• I always the the normal ones that that never happen like lose wait, exercise more,..etc. but I try to come up with something that will make me a better person.
• I have decided I dont want to win millions playing the lotto. I only want to win about 250 grand. (yeah I know that is still a lot). That would pay off our house and car with a little left over to plan for our kids future.

Bitching and Moaning...

you really can just skip this one its just me with a few rants...

• My children received under armor shirts for Christmas. They wear them every time they are clean, even if they dont match. It drives me nuts. I have stopped washing one of them.
• I didnt get to see one of my cousins for Christmas. I wasnt very happy about that. I miss her! (she did try to call me for days though and I didnt answer the phone all week)
• My sons father only had him for a few hours on Christmas(he had him the whole last week he was out of school). He says he didnt know but I know I said it the first time I talked to him about it. He then complained when I picked him up about it. My only problem with this was I started asking him about Christmas right after Thanksgiving. He never would tell me what he and his family had planned. Never would tell me when he wanted our son. In fact I was the one that finally said hey you can have him for lunch on Christmas day. I will pick him back up on our way back home. I mean hey if I have to make the decision then its going to fit around most(i say most because we had something going on at lunch too) of what we have planned.
• I really hate it when my kids are gone for a long period of time. I miss them.
• One of my kids thinks it is going to help when he stomps his feet and grunt and growls at me when he gets in trouble. This really gets under my skin.
• Why do people always go to the store and stock up when it gets cold and wet. They act as if it is going to be too icy to get out for days. I had planned on getting groceries for the week yesterday.(This kinda changed when my kids got out of school early but I still had to get some stuff) OMG No. There were so many people there. I got what I needed for dinner and breakfast and got out of there. Then I had to go back because I for one stupid little thing. The second time there were more even more people. I had to wait in line for 15 mins. It was crazy.
• I want my hubby to work all day and my kids to stay at school all day. I needed my time yesterday.

Christmas was Good!

• Man Christmas was busy but I love Christmas. It is one of my favorite. I didnt feel as rushed as I usually do so it was really kinda nice. Still busy but nice.
• Kids were really happy. They didnt get as much as they usually do. (only one was so ungrateful to mention it though) We spent almost the same but their stuff is getting so expensive.
• I cut way back on all the stuff I get for other people though.
• I got 2 shopping trips for Christmas. One for storage because my Mom didnt know what kind I wanted or would fit in the house and one just for me. My hubby gave me this one. Its supposed to be a day of shopping for myself without the kids.
• I havent used either one yet.
• My favorite thing I got for Christmas is storage bags. The kind you vacuum all the air out of. (pic to come soon)
• I am slowly opening all the toys my little one got. They get a new one everyday(almost). They are almost all open.

OMG ITS MONDAY......

and the hubby just left for work and the kids go back to school! I will be doing several post today about:

• Grandpa
• Christmas
• Family stuff
• The kids
• New Years Eve
• and maybe just something random
• Oh yeah and some New Year Resolutions

*Edit the hubby came home early so everything I wanted to do yesterday didnt happen. :(
