I dont put up with shit from my kids and I am not putting up with it from others either.....

I have been subbing. Its kinda nice. It gets me out of the house and I get some money too :) The kids can get loud and sometimes not do what they are supposed to. I leave a note about them and go on with the day. No big deal. I am pretty laid back in the classroom. I dont say much when they talk and they can listen to their ipods as long as they are working. They get to use their phones to look up stuff as long as they arent texting on them I dont really care. I will be damned if those kids are going to get attitude with me or be rude to me. If I ask you not to say something that is inappropriate. Then just dont say it. Dont tell me you will say it if you want to and when I tell you that you will be sent to the office dont tell me you dont care, cause thats right where you will be going. I havent been subbing long enough to send kids to the office but I did today. Then the other kids were talking in spanish and I couldnt understand them. Grrr I hate that. I am subbing for the same teacher in a few weeks. Oh what a joy that will be.

  • I subbed again today.
  • It was my favorite day so far.
  • The kids are old enough to know they need to stay in their seats and quiet but still be scared of getting into trouble.
  • I thought I was subbing for an English teacher, didnt notice she was a science teacher till the end of the day. They were reading Time for Kids and she was my sons English teacher in my defense.
  • The faculty bathroom smelled like crickets. YUCK....I feel for those teachers.
  • The room I subbed in smelled kinda like bubble gum. Her room is super cute too. :)
  • I sub for her again in a few weeks.
  • Pissed at my hubby right now.
  • We let our oldest shower in the morning but he didnt get up and doing this morning so we were running late.
  • He told him he could shower in the morning again after I said not like 5 times.
  • When the kids get to bed we are having a talk. Jack ass. I hate when he does that stupid shit...
  • Not just the you can after she said no.. the I dont have to deal with it so you can stay up late and blah blah blah.
  • Ok so I got busy and didnt finish this.....sleepy...more later...maybe.

Life...

  • Ok its been a while. I have neglected all my online stuff. The blog, facebook, even my game. I wrote a post but never got around to finishing it so I will try again.
  • Football stuff...PeeWee is going ok. They lost the first one but one the second game.
  • The first game was a beating. The second was much better than the first but I wouldn't go as far as saying it was a good game.
  • Middle school is much better than last year. There are not as many kids playing football this year. I guess 7th grade kinda weeds them out.
  • My child had the option to play 2nd/3rd sting A team or 1st string B team. I am happy with his choice. I wonder if others were given that same option because some of the kids on the B team I would have thought would be on the A team.
  • Their first game (scrimmage) was rained out. While sitting in the car waiting for the rain to die down a little I called the coaches to see what was going to happen. It was 5:30 and his answer was "Even if we went out there right now we wouldnt start for 30 mins. If we havent started by six we arent going to play but right now we are waiting out the Tornado Warning."
  • Tornado Warning really? Geez. And if you arent going to start for 30 mins any way and its already 5:30 wouldnt that make start time 6. So unless that are starting now they arent playing but you still havent called the game because you are waiting on the Tornado Warning while a bunch of parents wait in the parking lot?
  • Ok no more rants about the middle school football coaches because I really do like them.
  • On the Team Mom front....Getting some people to turn stuff in on time (or at all) is a pain in the butt. I feel like such a pain in the butt when I call and tell people I need.... it was due last night.
  • I am also very surprised by how many people actually sold all of their fund raiser. Go parents. You did a great job.
  • We order shirts every year. Just t-shirts that have some football thing on the front and the team roster on the back. I got the shirts back and they were not what I ordered. :( They still look good just not what I wanted because our coach likes everything for our team to be different than everyone elses.
  • They offered to reprint them for me or discount the shirts actually they offered to do both. Instead at the end of the season party they are going to print the boys some shirts for free.
  • I feel like I have been a pain in the ass to this place and they have been nothing but nice and helpful so here is to Ink N Stitch. Thanks for all you help and hard work.
  • I have been subbing. Some of it I like some of it not so much. I love the half days.
  • One of the teachers I subbed for I will not sub for again. Not that I didnt like her or the students just felt like I was being taken advantage of by another (one of her aides)
  • Kids try every thing to get out of class and doing their work. I dont remember being like that when I was a kid but I am sure I was.
  • In the High School sub folders they need to add slips for writing students up and sending them to the office. I would have sent one or two yesterday.
  • I have learned that when the older kids ask to listen to music or work in pairs the answer is no.
  • One of the Ace teachers has no clue of what some of the kids are learning and cant help them at all. I feel for those kids. They are there to speed up the process so they can graduate early/on time.
  • I am trying e-meals.com. Sili posted about it. I love it. This is the first week still though.
  • I used the Walmart list even though I hate going there. The list was broken down into sections. The items were in order. I didnt have to go back and forth to different isles or even on the isle itself. It was in order the items were on the shelf.
  • I was kinda iffy about the dinners though. Heres what we have had so far

    • Dirty Rice and Sausage w/ Grape and Walnut Salad- it was yummy.
    • Mozzarella and Basil Pannini- These were good too but next time I will have
      to leave the basil out of the kids.
    • Delicious Soup- this was not so Delicious..at least to me. The kids ate it
      ok but it seemed kinda bland or something I couldnt really put my finger on it.
      I will replace it if it ever shows up on the list again.
    • Cheesy Chip Chicken- I was worried about this one. Who would have thought
      coating chicken with cheese pringles would be good. It was excellent. The kids
      and the hubby liked it. This was quickly added to the we gotta have this again
      list.

  • So these meals have be different than what we are used to but thats what I was looking for. I have stuck to the recipes even when they have stuff I dont typically like.
  • Tonight we are having shrimp. My oldest son has been waiting all week for this. He already asked what time dinner was going to be this morning.

***edit: I was going to make the e-meals thing a separate post but it wont let me paste and I am not retyping it :) I know this post is way to long.

It's Friday :)))



  • Its my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday Sister :) Thats her foot there in the picture. (I would put up the one with her face in it but she might kill me) Pic came from dfw.com.

  • She is 30 this year.

  • She also reminded everyone a few days ago that this is her birthday month.

  • In my family we females get a whole month for our birthdays. :) I do love this. Thank you Mom! Thank you Will!

  • See it took Mom getting presents early every year and Will being good to buy them for her and when her birthday came around still getting her a birthday present because you cant not open a present on your birthday.

  • I love my family, not just for the presents, they are really great.

  • Moving on..

  • I was a sub this week. I was nervous because I had never done it before.

  • It was easy. (Only because I was with another teacher and the teacher I was subbing for left a detailed list and instructions)

  • I loved the kids. I got to work with them more than normal because I only had 6 kids (max) at a time.

  • I dont know if it is because school just started but they were all good and full of information.

  • One of them was a triplet. Man I couldnt handle 3 at a time. I would have lost it.

  • My Dad moved this week. It was quick. I only found out they were moving about 2 weeks ago...if even that.

  • That means my step sister is moving there instead of here (when she gets to move). I was looking forward to seeing her.

  • Her trial is soon. Well Pretrial. We are hoping that this ends now and there wont be a trial trial.

  • We have our first football game this weekend. I am excited.

  • The boys are ready.

  • I am the Team Mom. I think I have mentioned that before.

  • I have been planning games, drinks, shirts, chain gains, announcers, fund raiser stuff (which is changing). Its not bad.

  • I love when parents volunteer for stuff. I did have to ask but I found a few to do what needed to be done.

  • Parents that help out with kids activities are the best. Makes me love 'em.

  • I am missing my babies right now. Big Boys...as one would correct me. He isnt a baby any more.

Grr..

When it comes to the school and teachers I dont complain about much. This morning however I am irked. I am not a mom who overly babies my children. Most of my children were great with being left at school. They were excited and ready to go back every morning. It only took a day or two and they were ready to be dropped off at the door and walk in on their own. The exception, my youngest son. He is super excited about school every afternoon and he loves it but he a little unsure about going in the morning. The first 2 days broke my heart but after that he was fine with me walking him down and he would sit with his class. I even tried just walking him to the hall on Friday but he wasnt ready for it. By the end of the I will have gotten him used to walking all by himself but he wasnt ready today. The lady at the door wouldnt let me in. She said I had to go to the front and sign in. The problem with that is I wont be dropping him off at the front door. It does him no good to get used to something that isnt going to be happening. I have five kids and this is the first year I have ever been told I have to sign in to walk my kids to class the second week of school. I wouldnt even mind signing in if I could do it by the back door that he is going to be dropped off every morning.

Today only worked because his teacher happen to be coming in the building when I was talking to the door lady. (Man I have some bad feelings for her even though I know she is just doing her job.)

Tomorrow I am going to sign in and then park by the door he goes in and walk him to class. I have a feeling she is going to give me shit about it though.

Better

  • The first days of school were great.
  • The kids are all excited.
  • The little one was really excited but when I asked him if he was going back he said "NO!" :(
  • He meant it. The next day he woke up saying he wasnt going to school.
  • I have never had one that did that and I have 5 kids. :(
  • I kept telling him he was and he kept telling me he wasnt. He wasnt getting dress, he wasnt getting in the car, he wasnt getting out. A strong "Yes you are." fixed all those.
  • When we got to his hallway he stopped. He was like dead weight. Would not move at all. When we finally were in the class and I needed to leave he cried. Not alot just enough to make me cry like a little baby when I got to the car.
  • Yesterday was harder than the first day of school.
  • Today he was just fine. Didnt mind being left at all and he was sitting outside the classroom with all the other kids when I left.
  • The big boys got to get out at the curb today.
  • I was stopped and said if you can get out in the next 2 seconds you can.
  • They were gone. Didnt even say bye or have a good day.
  • I still cant believe how big my kids are getting.
  • Why do they make us fill out all that paper work at the end of the school year if they are just going to make up fill it out again at the beginning of the school year? Isnt that a waste of time and money?
  • Thats all the school stuff for now :)

School...

  • So I have cried alot today.
  • Today was the first day of Kindergartner.
  • The first day of middle school.
  • The first day of the last year of middle school. Meaning this is the last year before high school. :(
  • I was worried about the big ones going to middle school. Finding all their classes, getting their books, and lockers, and lunch. Just plain old worried.
  • It got better. One of them needed to tell me they forgot their schedule at home. I told him to get another one from the office this morning. He didnt want me to go in :(
  • The first grader didnt even tell me good bye this morning. When we got to his classroom he just kept on walking to the end of the line. I had to call him back to get a hug.
  • The kindergartner was all excited until it was time to go to his class and then he didnt want to go to school any more.
  • As if I wasnt having a hard enough time dealing with him starting school he didnt want to go any more. He even wiped a tear away when I told him it was time for me to leave.
  • This feeling has just gotten worse all day long. I am ready for my babies to come home and tell me about their day.
  • Sigh.
  • If I find the cord for my camera I will post their pick. It was a good one. They were all smiling and actually looked like they loved (well at least liked) each other.

Stuff...

  • Going swimming with some family today :)
  • I have ever said I love my family? I do. They are the greatest :)
  • I have some school supplies but not everything. I need to get busy school starts in 2 weeks.
  • One of the boys is in trouble. Last week he twisted words around so he could have his way and got people ...for lack of a better word.....pissy.
  • My kids want braces. We are still waiting on some teeth to grown in.
  • The other one wants to whiten his teeth. I told him if he brushed for 2 weeks without me having to tell him he could. That was yesterday and we started over this morning.
  • Last week I drove half way to Houston twice to pick up kids. ( we switched the boys, she can only handle a few at a time).
  • It was a long drive and yesterday I had to change a tire :/ It wasnt flat but I ran over something (really small that he car in front of me ran over) and it took a chunk of rubber out of the tire.
  • Some ladies stopped to see if I was ok. They didnt offer to help though because they didnt know how to change a tire. Just wanted to know if I needed a ride or to use the phone. Nice ladies though :)
  • I had to change a tire by myself before my parents would let me drive by myself. Its a good thing to know how to do. I am surprised to know how many people dont know how to do it, women and men.
  • My kids are driving me nuts.
  • Why do they always have to say "what about.....?" Only one does it every single time he gets in trouble. It makes me want to scream. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Ok I feel a little better (because I actually just did that).
  • I am going to substitute this year. It will be a first for me.
  • I hope I enjoy it because its a great way that I can work but still do all the things I want to do with my kids.
  • It also allows me to go back to school when I get ready to. I have decided that I want to get my little one into second grade before I do though.
  • Its feels kinda crazy for me to have plans for 2 years in advance. I am not a planner. The only thing I plan are vacations (sometimes). Everything else just kinda get placed in the schedule where it fits.
  • We have 2 birthdays this week. I am going to have my first teenager. Ya ya just pass the box of tissues cause I have been crying all week about it.
  • Next week football starts. Practices are going to be 2 nights a week. Thank goodness thats all the league allows. I dont know how much more I could fit in. :)
  • I love football :) I find that one of the boys does better in school during football too. I dont know if its because he has a better attitude in general or if he does it so he can play either way I like it.
  • I really need to start writing all this stuff down because I forgot half the stuff I was going to say :(

life...

  • I havent posted in a while. I have been busy....or lazy. You pick.
  • We went to a birthday party on Saturday. It was at Paintball Paradise.
  • They boys always have a blast when we go there. It helps that I really like the people that own it and work there. They are always always nice and helpful.
  • The only bad part is the bruises that come with paintball.
  • My little ones have big nasty bruises. One has on right in the middle of his umm upper body (not really the stomach but not really the chest either). Its a nasty one. The boy that shot him was called out for shooting to close.
  • The hubby plays too when they play paintball. Because of him we played for an extra 2 hours. Sigh. I was ready to go home. Good times.
  • Because we played to long I missed my class reunion. :( I wasnt to bother at first but now I am. I was excited to see all the people I havent seen in years.
  • That makes both of them that I have missed now. The one I went to school my whole life (but one year) and the one I graduated from.
  • Cleaned out the little boys room today. It took a few hours with help from the big boys. I kicked the little ones out every time they came in. They want to keep everything.
  • They are not allowed to run around with paper made toys any more. I found a ton of them. Lots of clothes too. No wonder they never have pj's and shirts.
  • The kids are almost done with their summer projects now. I am making them work on them for several hours a day until they are completely done. The oldest one is not liking it at all.
  • It could be because I am picky picky about them and think they need to be neat and look good.
  • My little ones have discovered spending the night with friends and family. The older ones (11 and 13) are just now starting to ask to go places with their friends. I always said that was weird because I stayed with friends when I was the little ones ages (5 and 6).
  • I had some more but my mind is wondering soo....

Friday, July 16, 2010

Stuff...

  • I had chicken fried steak at 9 o'clock this morning.
  • It was left overs from last night and it was good :)
  • I was kid less last night. I enjoyed the quiet.
  • I will have 2 extras this weekend. I am excited about it though.
  • Taking the little one to a pool party this weekend. He is excited to see his friend. He hasnt seen any of his friends since school has been out.
  • We have been busy.
  • We went with Sprint for the boys phones. It was like $10 more but it came with more air time and we will be able to add our phones without upping the plan when the our (my hubby and mine) current plan runs out.
  • Turns out the reception for Sprint sucks. They can text but cant talk on them. I thought maybe it was just here but the boys are elsewhere and still can not talk. This is ok for them cause they just text anyway but not for me cause I am a talker.
  • The phones are going to have to go back. They are going to have to get a new number again.
  • We had Orkin come out and spray our house for bugs. We signed up for a contract with them for a year. Its what the recommend (of course). We only pay when they come out so I figure why the hell not cause if we dont need them I can just cancel the appointment. The lady never called to set up the monthly visit so i dont even have to cancel. :)
  • I am tired of laundry. I hate laundry. Well I dont mind the sorting and moving it around part just the folding and putting it up part.
  • The Skeleton Key was on this morning. I hate scary movies. I knew better than to watch it. It gives me the hebbie jebbies. Yep. I am a chicken.
  • I need a nap.

Life is hard...

  • My grandmother passed away Saturday. It was a complete shock. She was at work on Friday. She just had the gastric bypass surgery a few months ago. Just bought a new car and was working hard to improve herself.
  • I have for as long as I can remember thought of my grandmother as being in her late 50's early 60's. Over the years her age never seemed to increase in my mind. She aged well. When she passed away she was just 3 months short of 73.
  • At the funeral home the director told my mother and aunt and uncle that most people are the widest at the elbows but that wasnt the case for my grandmother. She is widest at her hips but she would still fit into a standard coffin, she would just be a little snug in the hips. My cousin told me this and she and I rolled laughing. In my family we lovingly call this the "Spiker Ass" and we all have it.
  • I already regret not spending more time with her. I have that same regret with my grandfather on the other side. I am too young to have regrets in my life. I am going to work to make sure I dont have any more.
  • A few weeks ago my step sisters husband attacked her. She tried to get away from him but when he broke through the door (the second one) and she had no where else to go she shot and killed him.
  • CPS took her children and she went to jail. Things are a bit better now. Her children are with her husbands parents and she is out of jail on bond. She is also staying with her in laws.
  • She and her children are doing ok. Evidently that was not the first time that he attacked her but the first that I had heard about it.
  • I am still not sure of all the details. At the end of the month I should know more. I am stressed, worried, frustrated, confused, and sad all at the same time.
  • My kids are bickering and fighting almost all the time (it had gotten better the past week or so).
  • My children just got new cell phones. They had the go phones, now they are on a plan. I am not happy about it but its a battle I fought and lost.
  • My littlest one starts school this year and I already started crying about it.
  • School supplies list are ridiculous. I have 5 boys and not only am I buy their supplies. I have to buy the teachers supplies too. Dry erase markers and erasers, tape for tape dispensers, full package of red, black and blue pens(my 7th grader wasnt allowed to use pens). Really? Why isnt the school supplying that stuff?
  • My hubby continues to hound me about going back to Disney for Christmas. It was next Christmas now its this one. Disney is expensive. Our family is not small and we cant stay in the smaller hotels unless we get 2 rooms and doing that cost the same as the bigger nicer hotels. I want to go back but not till the little ones are big enough to do everything and want to ride the bigger rides.
  • I think it is the stress but my back and sides are killing me.
  • On the bright side of things. I have lost 8.5 lbs in the last week.
  • Sigh.. It has to get better.

Happy Independence Day...

well its still the 4th for me cause I am still up :)

I have a drink for you to try. Its really great:)

Texas Tea/Mexican Punch (two names because my hubby and I disagree about what the name of it was)

1 can frozen Limeade mix
3/4 can Tequila
3/4 of a Mexican beer...we used the green Dos Equis
2 limes - squeeze one, add some slices of the other
ice

This stuff is super good and easy to make.

Life...

  • I am ready for the weekend!
  • Took the boys swimming today. I am pasty white so I thought I would get a little sun.
  • I am burnt. :( It hurts.
  • I dont know what the deal is with my kids but at 8:30 every night they think they need to be loud. I am not talking I have five kids loud. I mean hurt my ears loud. Its got to the point where I have to make the go to bed to keep them quiet.
  • I hat that cause its summer and the oldest one hates even more cause he is going to bed way earlier than he did during the school year.
  • This week has been a long week. A week of worry and waiting. Today I got somewhat of a relief but I would have preferred a phone call myself.
  • My step sister is doing ok and is handling things well (as well as can be expected) and she is with her kids tonight so that makes me smile inside.
  • I have made about 10 post about what is going on but non of them seem right and the one that did just felt like I was sharing more than I should.
  • On a brighter note its almost the weekend. :)
  • I am up right now because when my hubby went to bed he asked our 6 year old if he wanted to go with him. I cant sleep with both of them. We have a king size bed and I only get about a foot and half as it is with him added I dont even get that.
  • I took a picture but got yelled out when I did so I dont think I will be posting it.

Monday, June 21, 2010

Life...



  • Something extremely tragic has happened in my family. I know better but I keep reading the news about it and the comments people have.

  • The worry and waiting is killing me. I want to know what is going on and what is going to happen. I have been promised a call as soon as they figure anything out or know anything. I know the call will come but.....sigh.

  • I have thought of a few thing to add about our trip but I keep forgetting to post them and/or write them down.

  • My hubby at one point during the ride home looks in the mirror and says "Damn. I am good looking." I dont know why this cracks me or or that I am even surprised he does stuff like that. He is very full of himself.

  • My kids keep picking at each other. It is driving me crazy.

  • The oldest is well...I guess driving me crazy would work here too. Every time I even mention their summer projects its an argument. Either its not fair he has to work on it or its not fair someone else doesnt have to do what he does. It got him sent to his room today. All because I wanted his paper so I would know which book to order for him. GRRRRRRRR......

  • I think I have an ear infection. One whole side of my head is killing me and has been for a few days. I am avoiding going to the doctor. I might break down and go though.

  • Have I mentioned that I am stressed. Its summer its supposed to be all happy and swimming and hanging out.

Home again, home again gig-a-ti-gig.

  • We made it home :)
  • The trip there was better than I thought it would be. The kids were great.
  • We took two days to get there. We stopped in Destin to play at the beach. It was still clean and oil free while we were there but on the way home we heard that it was getting close.
  • We had a blast at the parks.
  • Day one was at Animal Kingdom. We walked all over that park. Back and forth. Back and forth. We were trying to make sure we got to do all the things that everyone really wanted to do.
  • We took a break everyday about 2 o'clock. We went back to the room and had a nap. Well sorta. My kids didnt really sleep so as much of a nap as I could have.
  • Day 2 was at the water park. Blizzard Beach. We split up for this one because well big kids dont really like little slides and the little kids cant ride the big ones...not that I would have let them anyway.
  • Day 3 was at Magic Kingdom. I think this was my favorite park. Most of the lines here are shaded and half maybe more of them the lines go through building with ac.
  • Kolby had a fit on one ride that wasnt really a ride. They had to let him out in the middle. The hubby wasnt happy at all.
  • The rest of the rides were uneventful.
  • All the parks had a fast pass. Everyone can use it. You slide your ticket and it gives you a time to be back and you get to go to the front of the line. You only get to use it every 2 hours or after your time has arrived for the previous one. So it works out pretty well.
  • My legs and feet hurt. Bad.
  • It was hot but too bad.
  • We took lots of pictures and video. Pictures will but up on fb soon...I hope. The hubby already put them up on his but me I am feeling kinda lazy so it may be a day or two :)
  • The fire work show at Magic Kingdom was great. I was surprised.
  • That place has changed since the last time I went, but that has been almost 20 years now soooo I guess I should have expected it. I dont know why but when I am not around things when they are changing I expect them to be the same as last time. That typically goes for children as well. I guess in my head time stands still when I am not around. Go figure.
  • The drive there and back were beautiful. Well the parts I didnt sleep though.
  • I have lots more in my head but I am going to have to write them down when they pop up cause I cant remember them right now. :)

Edit:

  • We didnt buy any food while we were there which was a big plus. We had a quick service meal plan added to our tickets. One of the best things we did. I was worried the food wasnt going to be enough or that it wasnt going to be good. I was wrong. It was plenty of food and it was all good. We even had some left on the card that we didnt use.

Busy!

  • I have been super busy lately.
  • We are headed to Disney World :) I am so excited and cant wait.
  • We are driving. We are taking 2 days to get there. I am hoping that it goes well.
  • My Uncle and his family are going as well.
  • So we are driving to his wife's house first and then starting our journey the next morning.
  • Yes they are married and are still together they just have 2 houses about 4 hours apart. Its complicated but works for them so....
  • I am still have laundry to do before I am completely ready. I hate laundry and I am out of soap so its going to be an early day tomorrow.
  • The trip is all I can think about right now even though lots of stuff has happened in the last week or so :) Oh well I guess that stuff will wait and I will forget before I get back so the next post will be all about my trip too :)

I love family time....

  • Had a great weekend :)
  • Everything seemed to work out. My scheduling conflict was resolved by doing pictures earlier in the morning (thank goodness because it was sooo hot) and then heading off to the SIL's after.
  • Family pictures were at my Mom's house. We all wore white shirts and blue jeans.
  • I am amazed at how well it went. We started at 8 am, which means we had to leave the house by 7. Yea that was fun.
  • We manage to keep the boys white shirts clean and everything :)
  • It was humid as all get out though. I dont think I have ever sweat that much before 10 am.
  • The Sil's was fun as usual. We hung out when swimming and played cards. I love her little ones they are so darn cute :)
  • We forgot the kids birthday presents that she gave them though. They werent too happy about it but we didnt have time to go back for them.
  • The kids started swim lessons this yesterday.
  • The aunt that gives them sold her house and doesnt have a pool this year so she is renting one from a friend of hers.
  • It seems like its farther out in the country because this place has lots of land surrounding it but its not really. I love the pool here. It is beautiful.
  • Did I say I won a Tom Tom last week? I did and we played with it this weekend. That thing is awesome. I have figured out if I can make it take certain roads or not yet, but it changes if I take them anyway.
  • We are making the last of the plans for our vacation. Getting the neighbors to take care of our dogs, and figuring out where we are going to stop on the way.
  • I am getting really excited about it.
  • The kids wanted to know why we were not flying. Gee it only cost an arm and a leg for 7 people to fly.
  • We mapped it out and since we are taking 2 days to get there we should only be in the car for 8-10 hours. That leaves plenty of time to stop and stretch and move around.
  • Thats all this early in the morning. I need to get back to bed :)

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 :)

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.
