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. :(

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I want wish everyone a Happy New Year.

I will be back to the blog on the 5th when my hubby goes back to work. Until then its family time. I have had a very busy past few weeks.



*Edit* My sisters twins are doing better now. My Grandfather passed away on the 21st. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Very Sad

I learned yesterday that my nephew is in the hospital with pneumonia(think you spell check). He is one of the twins that was born in October. Mommy has been at the hospital will Dillan while Daddy stays home with Devon, who is sick as well. :( I hope they both get better soon.

*Sigh* I mentioned before that my grandfather had a lot of fluid on his stomach. Well he has gotten alot sicker. Grandma canceled Christmas at her house which was supposed to happen today. Hospice has been called and they moved a hospital bed into their house so he could get some rest. He cant lay down because it is too painful because of all the fluid. They cant drain it again because his blood pressure is too low and his potassium is too high. They dont want help and Grandma is in denial. They are supposed to go see another specialist. When my Dad called yesterday he said it would only be another 3 or 4 days and that Grandpa wouldnt be here for Christmas.

I cant type this much less say this without crying. (Please dont call me to ask how I am cause I cant talk without crying and I think my kids are starting to worry.)

If you pray please remember them, may they get well and the pain ease.

School stuff

I hate the week before Christmas break and the end of school. There is always so much going on.

• I went to a band concert last night. It was the first. It wasnt to bad. The little ones were ready to leave about half way through though. That made the end of the concert really long.
• Today I have been baking Cinnamon rolls and had to buy donuts for parties later this morning.
• I was running late to the talent show because I was still baking.
• I thought I was only going to get to watch the first half of the talent show because I had to go to parties but when I got there at 9 I was told it wasnt going to start until 9:45. *Sigh*
• Didnt see any of the show I rushed around for.
• Got to the parties. Same grade but the parties were nothing alike. The first one the only thing they did was eat. The second one however they did presents, games , and ate.
• Went back to the talent show after that. Man those kids have some guts. Some of them were just awful. There were these 2 girls that sang a song that I think they wrote but had no music to accompany them. Man they made my ears bleed.
• 3rd place got $25, 2nd $50, and 1st received $100. The student council put this talent show on so I think they paid for the prizes. I still think that is alot.
• The best part of the show was the principal at the end. He did the skit about the pirate that wants to go find treasure and his son doesnt want to he wants to dance. He played both parts. It was pretty funny.

Blah Blah Blah...

• My internet was down for a few hours yesterday. Ugh I hate that.
• Hubby's Aunt gave the boys a snowman that climbs a chain and sings Jingle Bells. Its cute. Hubby hates it.
• I cleaned my youngest boys room yesterday.
• It was a mess. I through out 2 bags of broken toys.
• I am sacking up a few more today. Not for the trash though. I need to find a place to donate them. Anyone know of somewhere?
• They are really unhappy with me but I cant stand action figures without heads anymore.
• A Time To Kill came on as I was going to bed. I didn't get to bed. I love that movie.
• I am going shopping today. Yea me...yuck. Maybe I will get most of it done.
• I am going to be tired as hell.

Post Secret

So NOT my Mom! On the first time my husband went out to diner with my parents (he had been to Christmas but that was really the only time he spent more than a few minutes with them) we had only been dating for 4 months. My mom gave my sister and I The Good Orgasm Guide when our boy friends (my sister had been dating her bf for years) went to the bar/bathroom. She said she bought every copy the store had after she read hers and shared them with her friends. We quietly put them away before the guys got back to the table but before diner was over we were talking about the book she just gave us. She also informed them that they should read the book as well but if they didn't want to read the whole thing then they needed to at least read Chapter 6 (I think) because it was just for them. It really is a good book.

I LOVE MY MOM!

Cowboys

• I dont usually watch the Cowboys play.
• I did last night with the hubby.
• My oldest son decided to cheer for the Giants. He caught a lot of hell for it
• I like watching football.
• I realized last night I still do not know all the rules. I asked a lot of questions.
• It makes me wonder if I had any clue when I was younger. I used to watch football all the time.

Oh yeah, They won!

Christmas

• I feel like I cheated. I got all of the kids in my family the same thing just different colors.
• I still havent done what I need to do for a few presents. I ordered the other part so there is no turning back. I need to get my butt in gear.
• Thats all the shopping I have done so far. Online.
• I have no clue what to get my kids.
• I missed the Breakfast with Santa here in town. I have to take my little ones to the mall to see Santa. :(
• The oldest 3 do not believe in Santa any more. They keep talking about it. I want to scream.
• We watched the Christmas parade on Saturday. Thats when the decided to have the above talk. With a ton of little kids around.
• One didnt understand why he got into trouble too because he was saying he was real. They just dont understand something shouldnt be talked about.

Man My Kids...

are accident prone. Today they were jumping on the trampoline and I hear one say owe and start whining. The next thing I know he is running through the back door screaming for help. I thought one of his brothers was after him or something. I come with the intent to tell them to knock it off. I turn the corner and see him. His hand is full of blood and his face is covered. The only thing coming out of his mouth is "Help me?" It was alot of blood. It scared me. He I am trying to calm him down as I am trying to hide that I am freaking out.

I pull back his hair and all I can see are globs of blood. I finally get down to the cut on his forehead.. He has calmed down enough to tell me that he ran into another one of his brothers. (in my head) He didn't just bump into him. Did you fall off the trampoline or something? Nope just ran into him. It turns out that he ran into his teeth and that cut is from his front two.

His head stopped bleeding altogether. We get it cleaned up and he is fine. Time to check the other one. His front two teeth are loose and hurt. I check them they aren't chipped and should be ok as long as he doesn't try to eat any apples for a few days.

Hours later I find out what really happen from the one that didn't end up hurt. They were playing football and he ran in between them and they both tried to tackle him and hit each other instead. They didn't tell me that because they know they aren't supposed to be doing that on the trampoline.

It was alot of blood. He had cupped his hand and it was pooling. It was all over him and his clothes (anyone know how to get it out). There was a steady stream from the trampoline and into the house. Seeing that much blood is what caused him to panic (me too, I hate blood and vomit).

Stuff

• Finally got the Christmas tree up. The pictures were blurry. I have to take some more.
• Kolby was extremely disappointed when I told him today was not Christmas. He had to wait 2 more weeks.
• I sent my kids Christmas List out to a few family members (grandparents and aunts). I wish I wouldnt have. I picked a few things off that I wanted to get them. I received phone calls and emails letting me know what the kids were getting for Christmas. I now have to start my list for them over.
• I can look in ads and online to find an idea for everyones gift before I go shopping. When I do I can buy everything on my list for everyone but my kids in one day in less than 5 hours. That is driving time too.
• I exclude my kids from that because I tend to buy for them first. There are so many of them that to get everything in one go for them is too much to carry.
• I also set a budget for Christmas that I do not exceed. If I go over on my kids gifts it comes from what I would have spent on someone else... I dont feel guilty for this.
• The people I find the hardest to buy for are going to be the easiest this year. My children took their place.
• My Grandpa is sick. He looked really bad at Thanksgiving. Grandma said that they took 5.5L of fluid from his abdomen. Thats 13lbs. They were going to make him wait almost another week before they did that. She threw a fit and they did it the next day. She is looking for a new doctor.
• I dont see my Grandparents as often as I should or would like to. I regret that already.

Post secret...

I have felt like this before. I am glad I dont any more. (The first part)

I havent posted a Secret from Post Secret in a long time it seems. They havent really spoken to me lately.

Yea Me

I am become Miss Fix it! Not to long ago I fixed my dryer. Well it wasnt working and I looked up what the problem could be and figured it out and now it works. I dont remember if I posted about it. There was a bunch of stuff in the lent filter (well past the filter that had been knocked inside by my wonderful children). I took it apart cleaned it out and put back together. It works great now!

Today I fixed the washer. It was taking forever to fill up. I looked it up last night. It has a screen the water goes through before it fills the washing machine up. It was full of dirt. I couldnt believe how dirty it was. That is the same water I drink. Yuck. Not anymore. Anyway I cleaned it out (not the way I should have I am sure) and it took less than half the time to complete the cycle!

I was going to ask for a new washer and dryer for Christmas but not anymore... whats next on the list for my hubby to fix. I am on a roll.
