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 :)

Thursday, May 13, 2010

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....

Blah...



  • My friend put this on my face book. Isnt it the sweetest thing? Its Jacob when he was a little over one and that is her daughter.
  • We play a computer game called WoW. My husbands account was stolen. He has gotten it back but it will be another week before it is back to the way it was before.
  • He blamed the kids for down loading all the stupid little game and going to all the websites they do. Turns out that he is the one with the key logger on his computer.
  • The kids won their soccer game this weekend. They havent played the really good teams yet. The games at this age are good. I get excited when they play well.
  • I also have some new grass in the front yard! :) The hubby not only brought it home but also laid it out.
  • I didnt get to do what I wanted to do this weekend so I didnt do what was wanted of me.
  • I also have gotten to speak with some of my old friends. I am surprised at how just speaking with people that I know and love have changed my attitude.
  • A friend of ours is having a baby with a girl he has had an on again off again relationship. Most of his friends dont like her. Me I think she is a money grubbin' bleep adee bleep bleep. But really I am happy for them...
  • You believe me dont you?

Monday, April 19, 2010

Stuff....

  • I caved in and got a facebook.
  • They should ban those little games on there. I am already addicted to one. :(
  • I am not sure I like it. I cant figure out how to stop getting an update every time someone adds a new friend or comments on a picture of someone I dont know. It drives me crazy.
  • Other than that I like it. I have gotten to talk to alot of people that I havent in a really long time.
  • Soccer got rained out! I was excited. So excited I think it was wrong.
  • My kiddo (the first one I had, you know since we have the his, mine, and ours thing going on) turned 11 yesterday. I cried about it on Saturday.
  • I made it worse by thinking the oldest one would be 13 this year and the baby would be going to school in August.
  • Man I was a mess.
  • The kids were really loud and crazy being stuck inside this weekend. I sent them out to play for 30 minutes on Sunday.
  • Yes it was still raining. They weren't out there that long.
  • Ok long enough that their little hands were cold. And they jumped on the trampoline and there must have been a ton of water on it cause they were soaked. Nothing that a warm bath couldnt take care of :)
  • We didnt have birthday cake yesterday :( We had Root beer Floats.
  • Its the hubby's birthday today. I always make a dinner on everyone birthday but he doesnt want me to cook for his he wants to eat out. :(
  • Dont they know that my fun on their birthday and its the one time I will make whatever they happen to want. Even if its something I hate to make.
  • The kids were late to school this morning because I over slept. I dreamt that I had already taken them to school so it was a complete surprise when they came in and asked when we were going. Poor kids.
  • Ok off to do some paper work so i can take one to the orothodontist. Anyone know a good cheep one. I think braces on one kid is going to kill me and I know that at least 1 or 2 more are going to need them.

Sunday, April 11, 2010

Ok..

  • So I cant be as big of a bitch as I think I can.
  • I was friendly to someone who I swore to myself I wasnt going to be. All damn weekend. Things arent the same but I was still nicer than I thought I would be.
  • I also didnt go get in the car 2 hours after we got to the late family Easter.
  • My SIL's kids are soooooo damn cute. I just want to squeeze them:) but one is too little to be squeezed and the other wont let me :(
  • The kids came home with too much damn candy.
  • We had extras. Cousins kids. They are so sweet...well one of them. The boy can eat. He is 8 I think. Ate half of a large pizza for dinner and then ate 6 donuts for breakfast.
  • I would love to have a little girl but I dont want any more kids so I will stick with borrowing them and giving them back.
  • The hubby did something I would have never thought of for him. He brushed and fixed hair this morning.
  • I finally told my Mom about things that have been going on in my house and why I have been pissed and stressed and well when it comes down to it I guess unhappy. When I started she was ahh my poor baby. But before I finished she was pissed too.
  • My Mom is over 50. She is one of the sweetest people I know and loves to help others. She is always busy. And I do mean always. She is getting her teaching license this summer. She will start teaching in the fall.
  • Her friends say they need to give her some mean lessons. I agree..sorta. I know my Mom and she can get what she wants :) You know when someone isnt really wrong and you end up doing what they want you to do even though is not what you wanted. She is good at it and does it in the nicest, sweetest way possible.
  • Man I love her :)

WOW

Did you see the 18 wheeler on fire? Crazy stuff. Looking for a pic. It was a 18 wheeler, dump truck and a pick up. They were all on fire and the 18 wheeler was hanging off a bridge. Not sure about injuries yet....

Enjoyment...

  • I have enjoyed the past day or two. Nothing much special going on just life.
  • We have been going to the park everyday while we wait for the bigger kids to get out of school.
  • They seem to love it and as long as they leave when its time I think it will be a daily thing for the rest of the school year.
  • I had my first snow cone of the year today!
  • The oldest is getting braces. Well maybe if we can afford them.
  • I really like the orthodontist that we saw today but we are going to try a few others before we pick one.
  • Only because I was told the price I was quoted was really high and well with 5 kids we need to save all we can.
  • My SIL might be going to Disney with us :) I am excited about it. I really do enjoy myself when I am around them.
  • I really need to talk to my uncle about this since he is going too! :)
  • I still havent had to speak to that person I was talking about before. I think that may be why the past few days have been good.
  • The hubby asked it I was mad at her. I am not. I am over it, its just not going to be the same anymore. I am surprised he even noticed.
  • My yard really needs to be mowed. I think that will be tomorrows goal.
  • My neighbors dog/cats keep getting in our trash.
  • The city tagged all their cars to tow next month if they are still there. He is always working on them and they are never there long so I dont know why they did that.
  • I think I am pissed about what they are doing to the street downtown. I dont think it looks very good. I also dont thing the street was bad. I dont recall pot holes in it(maybe a few but not many). I dont know that the streets on the side of town I live on are really really bad and I do mean really bad.
  • After the last rain I thought I went around a new pot hole in the road but didnt quit make it around it. It was so bad that I bottomed out on the damn thing and it was a new one. The city's way of fixing the streets over here is to put gravel in them. They put asphalt in the holes sometimes but as soon as it rains it washes right out. They need to be redone completely.
  • TAKS test were this week . I hate those damn thing and cant stand that for the last six weeks(at least) that is all that my children have done in math class.
  • Ok I have to figure out what I am doing with the pork chops I thawed for dinner. Have a good night!

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Its been a while...

  • Things at home have been...rough to say the least.
  • I am not 100% sure that life I as I know it will survive. I am certain that life will not be the same.
  • Easter was ok. We do a family Easter on Saturday. That way everyone can come.
  • We didnt stay long. My husband decided he was tired and went to sit in the car.
  • Well that was my family Easter. We will have one with his family this coming weekend. I plan on returning the favor.
  • All hell broke loose this weekend.
  • It really annoys me when I take the time to tell my kids to do something and even go to all the trouble to ask them several times if they did it and they tell me yes, yes I did it but then it turns out they have really done it.
  • It happened this weekend with shin guards of all things. They needed to be taken to practice. It didnt happen and then late that night I got a call they would be coming to get them in the morning. (Thats when things got really bad) The kids ended up coming home. When they were getting ready for the game he couldnt find the damn shin guards. The whole reason I asked about them the day before (not to mention practice)
  • One of the boys got detention last week. Well then he called yesterday and had 2 more days of detention this week for something else. He got it on Friday.
  • As part of all hell breaking loose this weekend the hubby is going to deal with it. His way of dealing with it.....telling him it better not happen again.
  • I am not happy about it.
  • More talking about this weekend needs to happen. I have been half ass avoiding it because I am not sure what the results will be.
  • That being said, I am looking for job and a sitter for my young one.
  • I also think that damage to certain relationship is beyond repair. Not that I really care much right now but it could cause major problems later down the road since its within the family. Being civil will only get you so far.

Stuff...

  • There is some animal making a really weird noise outside right now. Its driving me nuts.
  • Soccer is in full swing now. I really do enjoy watching my kids play (when I actually get to watch them and not constantly look for and keep up with the others and their many little fights).
  • One of the boys keeps asking if they can walk to the skate park. They (2 of them anyway) have before but the last time they got in a fight (you know the actual push and hitting kind). The answer is no. no. no.
  • I know people think I am harsh with my boys but I cant stand to see kids running around misbehaving. I dont want my boys to be one of them.
  • I am having a hard time getting my little one to eat anything but junk food. I dont mean just cookie and cokes and candy. I mean he wants hot dogs and chicken nuggets and fish sticks. He wont eat veggies hardly at all and most meat we have to make him eat. He tells me it disgusting. Thank you Honey. Once he starts eating though he likes it. Grrr...
  • I am not ready for Easter this year. It seems weird that its already here.
  • I havent talked to my Dad in a while. I have tried to call him the past few days but no answer. I wonder if he went out of town.
  • My middle schooler had detention for not bringing his book to class. He says this is only the second time and it doesnt happen often but his idea of often and mine are not the same.
  • I started walking this week. The little ones love it because they get to play at the park while I walk. The older ones not so much because I picked them up late yesterday. Opps.
  • My hubby wants me to order him some boots "like the ones he had last year or was it the year before?" He has no clue where I ordered them from. Me either hun, me either.
  • My mom got me a new camera for my Birthday. The boys said it was like theirs. Kinda but mine is a different brand and alot nicer, so really nothing like theirs. Hehe.
  • That damn thing is still making noise.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

  • I just received some really beautiful flowers :)
  • I have had all kinds of phone calls today.
  • I love that.
  • I get to talk to some family that I dont talk to one a daily (or weekly for that mater) basis.
  • I told my littlest one today is my Birthday and he said no he wanted it to be his birthday.
  • The hubby told me happy birthday yesterday. I told him it wasnt my birthday and he said "Today is the 23rd right?" Yes honey it was but thats still not my birthday.
  • His response was well he told me then so if he forgets today it will be ok.
  • Not so much.
  • I am going to make my own cake. He is sweet enough that he would go buy me one but I like home made better unless its pie. I cant make pies. I suck at it. Either they burn or the filling gets under the crust.
  • My older kids the ones that should remember my birthday since I have been saying for 2 weeks my birthday is this Wednesday, didnt remember this morning :( But thats ok I will remind them again when they get home :)
  • I never know what I want for my birthday (or Christmas). It drives people crazy.
  • Thats all...today is beautiful!

Its Over....sigh....

  • Spring Break was fun. Busy but fun.
  • Surprisingly everyone was in bed on time and got up easily this morning.
  • We started Spring Break with a trip to see my SIL.
  • Then the kids swear they had soccer practice on Monday.
  • We rushed around Monday after noon trying to get new soccer cleats and get everything done before practice. There was no practice and I was pissed.
  • Tuesday the kids got new shoes. All of them. It was stressful.
  • Just taking all the kids into a store all at once by myself is a beating but then trying to find them each something they like that fits is almost impossible.
  • Kolby was easy. He found a pair of shoes that came with a comic book. They had his size and he was done. I dont know if he even knew what the shoes looked like before we left the store.
  • That caused all kinds of problems with the littlest one because he wanted ones with a comic book too.
  • I tried a pair of shoes on him and he hated them and they hurt his feet until he saw the comic book in the box. I tried every other pair of shoes I could find that he might like and he wouldnt have any of it. We ended up getting the pair with the comic book that hurt his feet but they cant hurt to bad cause he wears them all the time (as in never takes the damn things off) and doesnt complain about them hurting.
  • You would think the other would be easier because they are older and can pick them out and try them on with out my help. I just needed to check them once they were done, right? HUH. They were the worst ones.
  • They couldnt find any they liked and when they did they couldnt find it in their size. The deal was I would pay $50 for them shoes, if they cost more than that they had to pay for the rest. They managed to find shoes for less. I knew they could do it :)
  • I hunted shoes and hunted shoes only to find them and they not fit. He was looking for 2 sizes to big.
  • The other one kept getting shoes that were to small. He stated with a 5 1/2 and ended up getting a 7. In his defense there wasnt much of a difference in the shoes.
  • The other one did ok. He just picked the ugliest shoes in the store. But hey thats my kid for ya.
  • The older kids went to spend Wednesday with their other parents.
  • Thursday they came back or I picked them up on the way to Chuck E Cheese.
  • I ended up trading kids around before I came home. I got one that was scared of the dark. I mean really really scared of the dark. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be.
  • Friday we spent the day at the park with my family. It was fun. When we got home the youngest ones wanted to know why the big kids got to go to the park down the road from us but I wouldnt take them.
  • I wanted to yell "because I am worn the fuck out" I didnt I used the because I said so thing.
  • I always hated that when I was a kid.
  • Damn it I got up to pick up the kids and I forgot what I was rambling about.
