Ok, for goodness sake..You really cant make this up.....And THE BOX

First off I just want to show a picture...This picture is of a box..A box I only open once a year..And today is the day...That is all I can say about it..But I just wanted to share it with you...Thank you:)


















ok...Now today the kids came inside and said there was a baby squirrel outside and that it lost its mom and wanted to know if we could keep it...Um...Yeah right...



















it was a cute little guy..I was stupid and picked it up..I just can not resist a baby animal...I know, I could of got rabies..LOL. He or she hung around the yard for a long time...It tried getting in our basement door..Thank goodness it was fast enough..That would of been a nightmare;)


Ok, the story I am about to tell is dreadfully embarrassing..I mean no normal person would ever tell anyone let alone a bunch of strangers...So we went to the park again tonight...With same said child from yesterday..This time ...I learned a shocking and most horrifying thing a mother could hear....My middle spawn had to go potty a while after we got there ..So hubby was walking her home...
I told the boys and baby spawn that we should head back too as it was starting to get dark...Oldest spawns friend asks where middle spawn was going..I said she had to go potty and her daddy was walking her home.

OSF(oldest spawns friend): "why doesn't she just go behind a bush?"
ME: " why would she do that..that isn't what you do when you have to go potty"
OSF: "um, well she does it all the time outside"
ME: " WHAT..SHE DOES NOT"
OSP: " yes, she does...And oldest spawn has crapped outside"

so now I am horrified..I want to kill both of them..Oldest spawn for doing it and friend because he told me..This is not what I wanted to hear..Not one bit..

OS: " huh what. No..No...I never did that"
with a smile on his face..
OSF:" yes you did, I saw you..Behind the bush in the neighbors yard"

ok, by this time I am running ramped with rage in my veins..I want to get this kid home and get mine home so I can kill him..

OS: " no..It was just a harmless deer..I never did that"
OSF:" yes you did..Don't lie about it.."

By the look on oldest spawns face and the look on my face...He knew this ment trouble...
We get home and I inform hubby of the new developments I had learned on our walk home..As I am telling him, I can not tell it with a straight face,I am really quite befuddled..I am not sure if this is horribly funny..Or awfully disgusting and weird..

At this point hubby is asking what is wrong with the 2 of them to make them think that going to the bathroom outside is ok...They both now go into tales of what they do outside...
Then oldest spawn goes into his famous lines..
" I wish I was in the graveyard"....To which I replied.." You go to the bathroom outside one more time, and you will be there buddy"

His next line was.."I don't know why everyone in this house hates me..I wish I was at school"

hmm...That must mean he is having a bad day...LOL

Anyhoo..This is my dilemma for the day....Go ahead..Have a good laugh at my expense....I know...I am the worst mother and I have the oddest kids... nuf said;)

Now I have to keep an eye out for middle spawn...Getting to know me

So I take the kids to the park Monday night. And on the way down we walked by their pal Noah's house. So of course they asked him if he could come along..Which I did not mind...The kids got dirty...I mean dirty..As I was chasing baby spawn around the park I had noticed something very disturbing in the grass next to the grassy knoll of a hill inside said park...First I saw a condom wrapper...uck and double uck..I paid it no never mind...Then as I am turning corner of said grassy knoll I spot the item that belonged in above wrapper....And it was USED...I about died as I stood there..How did it get in the park...Are hoodlums walking around have nukky in the park my kids play in??..Oh my gosh...Rewind my life back to the summer I was 13 years old...Hot summer nights, sneaking out..Heading to the park...Yup it happens and I am living proof of it...So I had to block it all out of my mind...

On the way home my beautiful middle spawn asks Noah if she can hold his hand on the walk home!! Ok..I am really dyeing now...My baby girl is 5..Come on now...Please..Slow down here..I have a hard enough time dealing with the 8 year old and girl kissing and what not...Please Lord..My heart cant take it...I swear..

I thought it would be fun and wise to list some things about me that you may not know..Probably don't really care...But I like to get to know the people...ya no...so here are 10 things you might not know..But will soon now..
1. I am addicted to Dt. Dr pepper, yes I know diet soda is bad for you and will likely cause cancer and kill me....But I wont be getting a fat rear from drinking it;)

2.I am an 80,s girl..Most music I listen to is from that decade..And no..I have no leg warmers..

3. I love club sandwiches...With no tomato...Oh yes..Good stuff

4.I started dating said hubby the summer before my senior year in highschool...And married 3 years later..

5.I never wanted kids....I mean 10 years ago...LOL

6.I gained 110 pounds with my first born...And only have lost about 60 of it..Plus have had 2 kids after that.....

7.I love working out..The treadmill and me are best buds..She knows me well..;)

8. If you are my friend..I will more than like be the truest most honest and loyal pal you would have...I take friendship very seriously..

9.I was a mean girl in highschool..I would make fun of others....I would make fun of all sorts of folks..I am reformed..And feel awful about anyone I was ever mean too..No wonder I didn't have many friends..LOL..Really though..I was nasty..Especially if it was over a guy..Oh man...The devil came out then;)

10. I don't drink..(well rarely) and have never smoked a day in my life..But I am convinced I will die of lung cancer..I grew up in second hand smoke...Plus all the pollutants we breathe in the air...Not looking good for me;)

There...Now you no...The rest of the story..
that's all I have for now...Keep it real...Toodles

Negativity...Yeah whatever

Yesterday the kids went outside to play with their friends after church..So it was about 10:30 am....They came in for brief periods to get popsciles and beverages...Finally around 6:45 we tell them it is time to come in.

Afterall they had not eaten dinner yet, and they both needed baths and whatnot..Oldest spawn needed to get his homework for summer school done..(yes it is Sunday and I am just NOW having him do it..)
this is the point at which everything went way wrong...

On the second we told him it was time to get his homework done this is the situation that proceeded..

OS: " why does everyone in this house hate me?"
HUBBY: "noone hates you, its just time to get your work done"
OS:I hate school and I wish homework was a bad word"
HUBBY: " son it is very important you do your best and get all your homework done"
OS:" I am just sick of all the negativity in this house, I am just trying it live a life"
HUBBY:" son you have been outside all day and now it is time for baths and homework"
OS:" Ihate this, stop ...This house is just filled with negativity, I cant take it"

at this point he is crying and screaming...

then he says he is going to the basement to do the work because no one is talking to him down there and I guess there is no negativity down there..I tell the hubby you better go down and make sure he isn't watching TV..

Well to make a long story short...HE WAS..

HUBBY:" ok, you need to come upstairs and do your work"
OS:" I wish I could just be alone, I hate all the negativity"

So now hubs comes over to me and says he thinks this kid may need some counseling..To which I agree...When you ask this child to do something he has a screaming panic attach of sorts..Not sure why..He is basically a good kid....When he gets to do what he wants..

OS: " I am just trying to live a life..Just trying to get by..Trying to have fun..And you guys always wreck it..I don't know why you hate me"
HUBBY (says to me) " ok, now if they said he needed medication would we give it to me?"

ME " your kidding right"
HUBBY:" well would we..."
ME:" um...dah!!"

This kid really needs prozac...I know , I know what your thinking...Tom Cruise knows best and there is no reason anyone needs meds and there are no such things as chemical imbalances or whacked out kids....But seriously...This kid needs some therapy....Tom cruise may think he knows pyscology but he needs therapy himself...I am not wanting my kid to turn out as crazy as he is...So if he needs prozak or a lobotomy...He will get it..LOL

Ok....What is going on

So I hear my son outside playing..He starts calling for me...Wants something....The only problem is I didn't know he was calling for me...

OS: "hey mom"
OS:"mom"
OS:"MOM"

ok so where am I going with this..Right??...Well my kids NEVER call me mom...It is always "momma"...Yes my kids call me momma.

So when I hear my oldest spawn calling mom..I truly have no idea he is talking to me....
Later when he comes in to use the bathroom he says "momma"
A-ha...I have figured it out....He is too cool to say "momma" in front of his buds....Has to be cool and say"mom" or "ma"....

We got most of the girls bedroom done ....Well not really...We got the door way done.....But the hall is all done...I am just too tired to continue on with the project anymore today....So I have retired for the evening..

My hubby was a true plumber today....We have had this plumbing problem for 7 months...Everyday he says he is calling a plumber...Everyday goes by...And no plumber....Finally today he think he can fix it...uh-huh right...

Well My God he did....I no longer have to deal with the problems I was having in my laundry room....I told him as he was bent over fixing away.."You are a true plumber , because I can see your as$ crack.."

I don't think he thought I was all that funny...But it was true;)

well guess that is all for now.....Have a good Sunday and I will be get back to ya'll Monday
Toodles

oh yes and check out the pics below....I have one of a box of brownies you MUST try...and the greenist grass in the world...although today the grass didnt look nearly as green as it did the other day...But it is still greener that mine;)

my kiddies

The girl and the oldest spawn

So yesterday I did get one of my big jobs done..I pulled the carpet up from the hallway..The floor look so good...I had to put in a little elbow grease to get the job done..But I did it..I will post a pic later on..Along with the greenest grass Christina has ever seen..LOL

So last night at around 8pm we started a little fire in our new out of doors fireplace...Yeah....And the kids had a few friends over to make smores...And guess who the oldest spawn wanted to come...Yes the girl who kissed him...He got out a chair , set it beside him, and told her "you can sit here"...I am gagging over here.Truely I thought I was gonna lose my cookies....But I kept it all in....It was getting a little chilly out and middle spawn was getting cold...So the girl said to her." you can wear my jacket"..So what does oldest spawn do.."Oh, I can go in and get one of my jackets so you can wear it"...Ugh!!!....No tell me it isn't happening..Tell me my oldest and first born is not offering to go inside and get a jacket for her to wear....!!!

So alas 9pm rolled around and both the other kids left...The kids stayed outside looking at the stars and getting ate by all kind of bugs..I came in the house..(I hate being chilly..And I hate bugs..) I watched a little TLC took my bath...And yes I used my citrus stuff...heehee....Then I headed to bed...

Today I am gonna try and get the girls room all cleaned out and get their carpet removed....There room is a frightful mess...

Oh and my wonderful cat..The one who catches bats and has never done wrong a day in her life....Well guess what she is doing now...Something she has not ever once did....She has peed on my rug I have under my table....The rug I paid about $100 for last year when we re-did our old house...I cleaned it...I even got out steam cleaner out and tried to get the smell out....I think she is still peeing there because it smells even worse..Now I have to toss it out...And I really hate doing it...The table and chairs scrapes all over my wood floors...Man I want to ring that cats neck..I don't know why she is doing this....But she better stop..Or she will be on the fast track outta here..I tell you what;)

Oh and the friend I broke up with...She emailed me yesterday...Not looking good....I don't want to take her back......But it is just looking like I may..Please someone shoot me.....

I will post some pics later....I know how much ya'll look forward to that...Tee hee

Toodles

Sorry, but I am over it now..;)

Ok...About my last post...Don't mind me..I am crazy:) Thank you though for your comments..LOL

Why don't kids flush the toilet when they are done?..I swear sometimes when I walk into the bathroom it smells like a freaking porta potty..Which is not a good thing. I take the time to scrub my toilets once a week so the kids have a clean tank to piss in...Yet they cant do me the favor and flush it when they are done..Kids, I think they are missing some very important features in their brains..Called common sense.

I have figured out something I want...You ready for this??? I want an Irish or Scottish accent..How are you going to get one of those Christina when you are from the Midwest of the USA??..Well that is a very good question..I may start pretedening I have one..Not many people around here no me..So they would never no..Right??..Only thing is.I suck at doing accents..I can do a pretty good Australian one..But I don't want to be an aussie...I know what your thinking...The blue wiggle is an aussie..I would move there for him..Not in the outback though...Nope..

last night I got absolutely no sleep..So what I am doing today?..Nap?..Nope..Ripping up carpet in the girls bedroom and the hallway...Then mow my grass...

The hubby for some reason decided it was a wise move to buy a little fireplace for the outside...Have you ever heard of such a thing?..They sell em though...Last night while he was putting it together oldest spawn and baby spawn and I went for a walk to the park..Middle spawn was over running and giggling with her 2 little girlfriends...Anyhoo, we were at the park for bout 15 minutes then baby spawn was wanting to run away..So we decided to head back home..Well on the way home I decide we are going to try and walk a different way home..BIG MISTAKE..We ended up walking for close to 30 minutes trying to find the way back home..My oldest spawn kept saying.."Mom, thought you said we was going on a short walk..I am definantly not going to be home in time to go play with the girls"....hmm..Playing with the girls huh?..So I decide to walk another block out of the way..No son of mine needs to be wasting time with the girls...
We get home and hubs is sitting on the deck with his Bible and his little fireplace in front of him with all the mosquito candles going..It was going on 8:30 so I put baby spawn to bed..Then sat out there for a brief period..I do not enjoy the out of doors when I am being eaten alive by the biggest most frightfully looking skeeters...Him and the kids sat out till past 10pm..What freaks.

Oh..Also on our walk I spotted this lawn...I was thinking in my head..Not out loud.."Holy crap that is the darkest greenest grass I have ever seen..Wonder what kind of chemicals are polluting my water line from that grass"....And my oldest spawn says out loud.."Look at that grass..I have never seen grass so green"...Great minds do think alike...I am going to go do a drive by and take a pic...Show you what I mean..Really it is quite amazing..LOL

Well gots to get moving..Toodles

Caution : you may want to skip this post;)

I know what you may be thinking, what crap does she have to tell us now..Problem is, I have none..But I do just want to vent and maybe spill my guts for a few minutes..This is basically a post for my own benefit and I do not expect anyone to make it through the whole bit..

Today was not a bad day..Really nothing much to complain about, kids didn't fight..(much anyway) the baby spawn did not get into too much trouble..All and all not much..

Do you ever wonder why anyone reads your blog?..Like why do they keep coming back?..What is it you did today that you may not do tomorrow? Does anyone really enjoy it?...The blogs I read, are mostly mommy blogs..Which I find very entertaining and funny..I like to read what I know about and can relate too..There are some I read because they are wonderful writers and spark something in me..Some just make me laugh..Heaven knows by the end of the day I need a good laugh...

I feel very close to most of my blogger friends..I even comunicate with them in others ways than blogging..And I like that..Feels more personal and more friend like...And we all know how badly Christina needs friends..lol...I think most of you have site meters on your blogs..Do you ever look at them?...I never really did till recently...And lots of folks stop by..Only a very few number ever leave comments..So does that mean they weren't interested in what you had to say...They are too shy...WHY NOT LEAVE A COMMENT??.. If you read my blog frequently..You no I need to have feed back...wether you tell me you think I suck or just want to say Hi...I don't care..Really I don't...I have this one from San Jose Calf who comes everyday....Sometimes more than once a day...Why I have no idea...Makes me wonder who they are...I know where most of you live..I have one buddy from Calf...That I know of...So who are you and why don't you leave me a comment...I am the most insecure person you will ever come across...Why?...No idea..I never use to be...Only recently..Last maybe 6 months..I don't even try to explain it to myself..Because not much I can do about it...Just something on my mind...I love feedback..I love connecting with folks...Weather by blog, by phone, by email, by real mail...Whatever...I love having friends and I really miss that...

I recently broke up with a friend I have had for some 17 years..We became friends way back when..Her brother dated my mom for a long while when I was like 13..And her and I have been friends ever since..She knows things about me no one else on this planet knows..And I about her as well...But I can only take so much...Long story..But the point is I am done with the lies and the bullcrap..I really should of broke it off years ago..Now that I am away from her..It is easier to let go because for some reason she could always suck me back in with her lame excuses..Not anymore..I can not waste what time I have left on Earth on a friend who doesn't respect the special bond friends are suppose to have...I am done..nuf said:)

And now my hubby complains about my blogging...Says I should be talking to him about these things..Well crap I write about stuff that goes on under his nose..Its not a secret..I have only been doing this blog thing for like 3 months...I am still a newbie...And I consider this a hobby.. I use to paint and what not..Now with a 2 year old its hard to do such things..Plus I had a bad experience with my painting and it just kind of turned me off of it..I wont even get into that one..LOL

anyway I guess I have said enough for now..Sorry for the boring crap..This is what a mother who stays home all day with 3 kids and has no outlet to vent says...I also suffer form a pretty severe sleeping disorder that prevents me from sleeping nearly every night..That is also another story all in itself..LOL...So I am tired, cranky, feeling like I am just about as useful as a rock caught under my lawn mower..

I will try to end on a funny note..Oh forget it...I got nothing tonight..Toodles

Well gotta go get some work done...Yeah right...toodles

Future mommies

The girls were playing with their dolls today and fighting who got to push the stroller...ahh..Those were the days...When the babies didn't cry, didn't eat..(unless you wanted to feed them) didn't poop, (unless you had one of those dolls that pooped..And I did..LOL)..And the babies slept all night and never needed a darn thing !!











Baby spawn and I were coloring tonight... Can you tell what page she colored??...LOL ..

Why does Blogger make it so darn difficult to post pictures and words at the same time...It wont even let me move the photos over now..My words and pics don't look right...crap anyway..Toodles

Mouthy little sucka

So I picked up my oldest spawn from his day at summer school..We are in the car and this is the conversation that proceeded

OS: "this is just the best day I have ever had"

ME: "oh really , why is that?"

OS: "if you cant tell I was being pacific"

ME: " pacific?...Huh"

OS: " you no, when you say something you don't really mean..Don't you no anything mom ?"

Me: " seriously kid, I have no clue what you are talking about..Pacific is an ocean my dear"

OS:.." Oh, I mean sarcastic...You no what that means don't you..Like when I say your the nicest mom in the world"

ME: " You keep it up and you will be in your room all day..And I am NOT being sarcastic"

OS: " nuf said mom"

I don't think she likes her new haircut..Just my guess

Ever since poor Ellen has come home from the groomers, she has been laying in spots she has never laid in before..Not sure why, but she is just not herself....I found her laying in a baby cradle full of old stuff toys in the basement play area...Then this morning I found her laying in my dirty clothes basket under the laundry shoot in the laundry room..I think she may be mad at me..LOL...









I am sure she will get over it...I think she is embarrassed cause she is bald..:)

that's all I have time for now...Maybe more later,,Toodles

Am I going to die..Or be bug free??

After my nice workout..20 minutes on treadmill and 20 minutes doing weights..
I was all hot and sweaty, so I decided I should maybe take a hot bath and enjoy some alone time..I grab my little spongy thing that I put my body wash on.. Grab my soap and get it all lathered up..My hubby had bought me some new body wash that I hate the smell of...Smells like a darn orange peel..I hate the smell of citrus unless I am eating an orange:)

Anyhoo, as I am all soaped up..I am thinking to myself..Boy..This smells pretty good...Not so citrusy..I am liking it...Not really thinking about it...Until I start getting a little tingly..And not a good tingly..LOL

I look, and notice I have just bathed myself in my dogs flea shampoo..I am all in a panic...* warning DO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH SKIN AND OR EYES..IF CONTACT OCCURS FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WARM WATER*...Crap and double crap...Well I am in warm water...Crap..How do I flush it????...I am dying..I know it...I am being poisoned..I know it..Crap , darn, shucks ...I am planning my funeral in my head..I want a big production..A band, a nice meal, crying..Lots and lots of crying..I want close friends and family to tell stories of how wonderful I am Or was rather....I want a big display of baby photos and childhood photos..A shrine of sorts..
For the meal I want my favorite dishes prepared..Club sandwiches with no tomatoes, nachos, Caesar salad, cottage cheese..Cheesecake..Lots and lots of cheesecake..And this raspberry desert my grandma makes..
Diet Dr pepper and ice cold water bottles..And other varieties of soda and beverages..Maybe lemonade, or some kind of fruit punch..

I want my head stone to say something witty..Maybe something like.."When your dead..Your gone for good.." Or " here today, might be dead tomorrow"

Ok sorry got of the beaten path there...Anyway I am still alive, for now anyway..But I don't have a single flea on me:)

Question...Maybe I am the one who is nuts

So nearly everyday when I go outside there is a woman way down the street..And everytime I see her..She is using a leaf blower to blow the dirt out of her driveway..WTF??...

have we come so lazy or so dependant on things that we cant sweep our walk ways or rake our own leaves?...When I see a leaf blower..With a person behind hit working it....I wanna slap them...I wanna go to Ace Hardware , by a rake, and throw it in their face...

Leaf blowers are loud, disprupitve, bad for the environment, makes the operator look lazy and stupid...And serve no seen or said purpose..

GET A RAKE OR A BROOM..PLEASE...I AM BEGGING YOU..AND MOTHER EARTH IS BEGGING YOU...FOR GODS SAKE...PUT DOWN THE LEAF BLOWER!!

Now for those of you who use them...I am not talking about you..LOL

Another thing making me wanna blow....I have one soap opera I watch and have watched it for 25 years....Really..No joke..

and right now they have 3 guys..Who are or were the same character....WTF..why..I know there can only be one Roman..but why does Marlana have memories of the roman who isn't on the show..But is back as a Dr...Her husband now, was roman..But turns out he was brainwashed some years back by Stephano and his henchman..And he is really John Black ...You follow me?..LOL....Now her ex husband roman is on...Married to a witch....Now the first roman is back...But not as roman but as a Dr....Yet she is having flashbacks of him...You follow me??..LOL

Oh I give up...I will stop talking about it??..!!..LOL

ps...sorry for all the curse words..:)

Bugs,dogs, basketball:)

Well last night was not lawn dice, but rather basketball..I knew it had to be one or the other..LOL...The ones who played enjoyed it..I think..I also went around and gave most of them a hand massage..They really liked that..LOL...No funny stories to report..It was a pretty ho-hum night:)

I have discovered that my dear ole pup Ellen, has FLEAS..I am not a happy momma...I gave her a flea bath yesterday..Wednesday she goes to the groomers to get her hair shaved (she is a Lahsa Apso..So she has long hair) then off to the vet to get treated..I had a run in with fleas at our old home...My cat who was not suppose to go outside...Got outside...He was out there for like 3 days before he would come in the house...(his name was Sir Elton BTW..LOL) Well he brought in all his new friends and infected my other 2 cats...So before I realized there were fleas...They were everywhere...We had to tear out all the carpet in the house..The fleas bit up my son so bad the school would call and think he had chicken pox...Yes it was bad...Now when I see them on my dog..I kinda wanna ring her neck...She only goes outside to go potty..So being she does not spend a whole lot of time out there, I did not worry..Well I was WRONG..!!I am giving her another flea bath today...I do not want this becoming an epidemic:)

So far the plans are Jen is coming Sept 10th thru the 12th..So come on ladies..if you wanna join...The clocks a ticken..LOL..Not really sure what we are gonna do...And it doesn't really even matter..I have only known her for like 2 years..And Her and I have taken a trip to Chicago together.(we went this past spring)...And now she is coming here...And my friends I have had for nearly 20 years...Have not even made an effort to come..Seems Jennifer is more of a friend than my oldest friends..Anyway..I cant wait for her to come..

My house still needs much attention...It is very mad at me for neglecting her so badly...I am an awful house keeper these days...I really should think about hiring a better one..LOL...Oh and hubby broke one my kitchen drawers while I was at work...I am not impressed..Not one bit..

Also my lawn is ready to overtake the yard..And shoot..I just don't know when I can do it...Bible school all week..So hubs is gone from 6:30-8:45..And I cant leave baby spawn alone in the house...If she would do some cleaning..That would be ok..

well I am off..I need to get the kids dressed..Oldest needs to get ready for summer school....And it has come to my attention that he really is a very odd child...:0

Messy house, mowing lawn and moving

My gosh has my house been neglcted over the weekend...It is going to take me all day to get it looking half way livable...Crap, darn ,dang it anyway..LOL...

We had a very busy ,yet enjoyable weekend..I am tired and I have a mountain of work to get done...Plus I have to work today..Yeah for me..LOL..Actually that isn't so bad..It is the chore of having to do the laundry so I have clothes to wear...That is the kicker..LOL

My lawn is in desparate need of attention as well...I have not had time to get her hair cut..It is getting a little shaggy...Plus my mower has been giving me some trouble last few times...Please..Please...Act right..I do not want ot have to buy a new one....

We have decided that in the next year or so we are going to sell our house and move...We want to live closer to hubbys work..Right now he drives about an hour to get there...Traffic here is totally nuts...Really..If you are not a drinker...Driving in the traffic here will make you one..Well hopefully not while your driving..LOL..
When we moved here it was kind of a rush thing..We needed to get a house and get one pretty fast...I like my house..And if it was closer to the city...I would never leave..(unless I were to win the lotto..Then I am buying my own tropical island somewhere ..And I am not going to give out the address..LOL)..So anyway, by next year or maybe even the next year..(we are not going to rush it...We just moved and its a pain in the butt)..And we want to find the right house...And be able to sell this one for a good price..Since we own 2 homes right now..I don't think the bank is gonna be willing to hand us another home loan until this one sells..LOL..Just a guess anyway:)....If our first home would have sold...It would be no trouble...But since it didn't and we are renting it..Makes a big difference...And they have a 2 year lease...And are suppose to buy it after that...So we may wait until that happens..

I need to start thinking about what to get baby spawn for her birthday..It is on the 29th..I know lots of time still...But, I like to be prepared..LOL..

well I better go do some laundry before I end up having to go to work in my "unmentionables"..LOL

Have a rockin Monday:)

Baby spawn is so smart..And I spent too much money

So the weekend has been kinda busy. Friday night we went to the fair for a few hours where we consumed cotton candy and other useless crap..(pics posted below)

Saturday we went to the Science museum..At more useless crap..(pics below too)

Today we did some shopping..School clothes and what not..Between Sears, Marshall Fields, and Target..We spent over $600.00...Normally spending this kind of money would mean I was sure I was winning the lotto the next week...Alas..I am sure have not..But we have made some smart finicail moves and are nearly out of the wrath of credit card debit..So we had a lot of extra money this month...(and my kids have been in desperate need of new clothing..I mean it was bad..)..So all three kids got a bunch of new clothes...And sleepwear,caught a bunch of deals..So it is all good:)..And again I ate crap...

Baby spawn will be having a birthday at the end of this month..She will be a whooping 2 years old...So after that day, I will no longer refer to her as baby spawn..But as spawn who is too big for her britches..LOL
Since she seems a little "slow" sometimes.I figured I had better start her on knowing her age...I ask her how old she is , and she says."chew"..That is two in her language..She caught on real fast..So I hope when her birthday comes she doesn't think she is really going to be 3..As I tell her she is 2 already..yikes..LOL....She also will tell me her name when I ask her..And she kinda looks at me baffled like.."Lady..If you don't know my name..Then we have problems"..

I get to work tomorrow night...And we have vacation Bible school this week..So gonna be a busy week...And what Bible school goes from 6:30 pm till 8:45 anyway...??..??..Seems a little late to me...So I am gonna see if I can get out of work half hour early so I can pick up baby spawn..Hubby is going to have to take her along..And she will not be happy of she has to be up till 9pm..No way hosa..LOL

Oh..And hubby found a note under oldest spawns pillow with the name of the girl who kissed him on it..Along with a heart...I hate that girl already..My son doesn't write love notes..He writes comics...He is a comic book writer for goodness sake..Not a freakin poet...Look what a kiss will do to a young boy...Crap..What am I gonna do??..LOL

Hope everyone had a good weekend..Toodles

We came , we went, we had puke

So we get off and and the road this morning..We are half way there and oldest spawn says he isn't feeling so well...He asks if we have a bag so he can "puke"..I quickly toss back a plastic bag that happen to be near me..And sure enough..He tosses his cookies..We pull into a McDonald's..Get him a drink and some napkins..And we continue on..(I know, a normal parent would not of went on..But dang it..We were almost there..I could smell it)....
He felt much better and had no troubles rest of trip...LOL

Here are some random pics..Most of the museum..We were right by the Mississippi River...Very pretty...St Paul really is a pretty city...For those of you who have never been..:)




































So there is are trip in a nutshell..I know the one photo is on three times..I don't know why..And I could not figure out how to remove them..My apologies:)
Sorry for boring ya,ll with my pics..I just have nothing good to write about today...Tomorrow we are going to the mall to do some school clothes shopping...Fun fun:)
Have a good weekend everyone..I will check on are your blogs tonight..

Never again will I get on

All I can say is...I have a headache....I was not made for going in circles..I can handle roller coasters...I can not do Ferris whoelse...Nope..Not this gal..





we had a good time though..Well the kids did...They got to pet baby bunnies and baby chicks....How is it that baby chickens are so fluffy and cute..And adult chickens...Well lets just say I have no problem eating them:)





Even baby spawn had a good time :)



They got their cotton candy, rode the rides, saw the animals..What more could a kid want on a Friday night??..LOL

I just wanna thank my good blogger pal Gab for the nice post he wrote about me today...Made me all teary eyed...You can find him on my blogroll under Gabriel....If you have not read him yet..He is a very wonderful writer and poet..Easy on the eyes too..LOL..:)..I would link him in here..But I can not get it right..http://psychnerd3.blogspot.com
I think that is right..If not forgive me..Anyway...Thanks for the wonderful lies you told...LOL...Really it was nice and made my day:)

In other news..Lets see...Do I have anymore news...Going to the museum tomorrow..Than mow my lawn...Sunday church..(maybe if I can get going early enough)....

Funny middle spawn said to me this morning..

MS.."Mom where is.."Baby spawn".."

ME "I don't know..Where is she"

MS "Well she is upstairs, tough luck , the gate is down"

She is a little mouth...But she is cute..LOL

I ended up having to go into work today...We took some of the ole folks to the fair...I think most of them had a good time..Of course the one I was in charge of wanted to leave 10 minutes after we got there.I walked her around the whole fairgrounds..Went to all the buildings..Than she told me to stop walking in circles and take her back to the bus so she could go home..LOL...Needless to say I had to sit and listen to some live polka music for about an hour while we waited for everyone to get done..And that was even too loud for her..LOL...It was fun though..:)

Well I better get off to bed...I am tired and lazy..Have a good weekend everyone..

It is Friday...The midget...And other stuff

It has been brought to my attention the bigger font is easier on the eyes..LOL...So there you go Bethy..:)

yesterday I played a little trick on moms midget..I went on my yahoo messenger pretending to be a single gal looking for love..To see if he would take the bait..Because I just did not trust him..And let me just say..He took the bait...In the 5 minutes of the conversation he was wanting to have kids with me and move in with me..Not a good sign..So here is hoping he is gone for good..

We are going to the fair tonight...Cotton candy here we come:)..I am not much for riding fair rides..I much rather hit a roller coaster..Anyone ever been to Cedar Point?..Now that is what I mean..LOL...(some folks here have never head of Cedar point...Huh..How is that possible??)

We are headed off to the Science museum tomorrow to see Grossology..Take in a dinner and maybe walk around the city for a while..So if you don't ever hear from me again..That means that walking around the city was a bad idea:)

Oh last night the kids come in from playing with the kids down the street..The first thing middle spawn says was that a girl kissed my oldest spawn...Huh..Can you repeat that please..You can never go out and play again..That's it..Nope..

Well I am off..Have to get breakfast for all the spawns and to some picking up around here..I have been a bit lazy all week..And it is starting to show..LOL

Have a good one

how do people really see you?

I took this quiz I saw a bumbling bav....this is how people see me.. if you want to take the test visit here www.http://quizilla.com/popular_quiz.html


People view you as a Loner Artist. Loner Aritist
are exactly as their title says, loners and
artist. Now you are not alone by choice but
many people find you odd. This only bothers you
when you're in a public place like a dance club
or a crowded lunchroom so you tend to steer
clear of those places. You might have a friend
or two but they're either Loner Artists like
you or Truly Dark. Fear not! So many artists
are not appreciated in their own times!

What Do People Truly See You As? (lots of outcomes and stunning pictures)

Never again..I don't care how many feet its growing

This morning I decided it was time I cleaned out my fridge..There were starting to be some strange smells and various odors that were unexplained coming from the general area...So being the brave lady I am..I decided to tackle this feat alone..

First I tried getting the crisper things out..Which that was a chore in itself..Then the things I found in there..HOLY CRAP...I think something even had legs..I swear..LOL

I get the crisper soaking in hot soapy water and I try to tackle the rest of the fridge...Which was easy enough...It was messy..But trust me..I had seen it messier..LOL....

My problem came when I went to put everything back together..Things were falling apart..Pieces were falling off...And I could not not figure out how the heck it all went back together..So needless to say parts of my fridge are in my sink..As they have no place to go because I cant make them fit anywhere...And I know I saw them fall off part of the crisper holder..But I will be dog goned if it does not fit in there perfectly without it..LOL

I have a clean frigde...Only its missing some pieces:)

Bananas, peas, water buffalo and peanut butter sandwiches

all of a sudden my baby spawn has decided that everything she once ate, is some form of poison. I do not know when it happen exactly, not sure where I lost her. But she has become a form of anti-food human. She would rather eat crayons and dog food.

she once would eat whatever you put in front of her..Now I am lucky if she takes a bite of anything...Although she loves her fruit ( I cut and peel apples for her, she loves bananas, and oranges) but she will not eat any form of a veggie..She once ate corn and green beans...Now nothing....She refuses to eat mashed potatoes..To her it is some form of play dough..Not sure where I have went wrong..

My oldest spawn has a very serious eating disorder..I have never mentioned it before..But I thought what the heck...It started when he was about 6 months old..It started out being he would not eat his baby diced pears..By the time he reached one year old..His main food staple was yogurt..That was the only thing he would eat..And I am not kidding...Up until he was probably 2 and half that was his own form of nutrition..I am very lucky..All my kids love milk and take their vitamins with no problem...
When oldest spawn turned around 3 he moved to eating peanut butter sandwiches...So now at 8 years of age..Breakfast, lunch, and dinner consists of him eating peanut butter sandwiches..My Dr always told me it was nothing to worry about..That he would grow out of it...He will eat cheez its and bananas..That is it, He does not eat candy..(well sometimes peanutbutter cups) pudding, any form of kid heaven....

Last spring we took him to some food therapy class....There were about 5 other boys with the same affliction...But the classes did not work...I still have a kid who wont eat...I wont go into the whole long detail of it...But it is some kind of mental condition with him...He is healthy..Tall and good weight..

Now back to baby spawn...I am about to knock her block off....Even my middle spawn is a picky eater...WHY ARE MY KIDS MESSED UP???

I would love nothing more to sit down to a meal and have all 5 of us eat the same thing..With no complaining...

Anyway...Anyone else out there with picky eaters?...I know my son is an extreme case and I do not expect anyone out there to have the same ordeal...But baby spawn..And middle spawn....Any suggestions??

I am so glad the week is almost over....I need a day off...Oh wait..Moms don't get days off..Sorry..My bad:)

Weird Wednesday

I know its not even 9am..But boy has it been an interesting morning.

First of all baby spawn slept till 7..And she NEVER sleeps that late..So I had to rush around getting kids breakfast and clothed so we could drive oldest spawn to summer school..Because he will NOT be walking..LOL..

As we are getting in the van, I see a small dog in our yard..A minute collie..And then..I saw a little boy in my yard..This kid could of been no older than maybe 16-18 months..I swear..He was in my yard had a dog leash in his hand..But the dog was not attacheted to it..And the boy had a pacifier in his mouth..I thought the parents should be around somewhere...Maybe they were just a little ways behind him..Anyway I didn't think much of it..

I drop the boy off at school and when we get back this same baby is not in my yard..But in the middle of the road rather...A SUV was barreling down the street and had to swerve and honk to miss the boy...I grabbed the girls and got them in the house..Then I went to my front door and was going to go out and get this baby and call the police..

Just as I opened up the door a big ole lady (who looked like she had just woke up) came running out of the door 2 houses down..(next to the Mexicans..This house is another story all in itself..But these folks are white..LOL)..By this time the baby had run a good block from home..ACROSS the road...She grabs him and starts beating his butt..I yell out.."He nealry got hit..I was just going to call the police"
She didn't say anything back just grabbed the baby and went back into the house..

I take my shower and leave my middle spawn in charge of baby spawn..I get out..I hear honking..So I am thinking this baby got out again and is in the road..Then I look down at my baby spawn and she has my keys in her hand..And she had pushed the panic button and it was MY horn blowing..Gosh I hope it was honking the whole time I was in the shower..Than I couldn't get the darn thing to stop..So when I get the figured out..Well...That is as far as I am today..LOL...

I am so looking forward to the weekend...We are going to the science museum this weekend..It should be fun...The kids wanna go see Grossology.(it is an exhibit of gross things..farts..Burping..Bugs puking on your food..All the stuff kids love..LOL)

Well have a happy Wednesday..And I am hoping I have no more run ins with babies in the road..

So the Spanish saga continues

I have wrote about my son and the Mexican kid..(he calls him Spanish because he speaks Spanish..LOL)..Today he had another run in with him..This time the "Spanish" kid told him he could not go play with the girl who lives next door to him because he..(my spawn) speaks English..And the kids started throwing balls at him...And my spawn came home and got his knee pads and elbow pads and helmet on because he was going into battle..The Spanish kid and the English spawn war...We told him that we did not like him conversing with this kid..

Now my spawn has compiled a list of kids who are his friend , those who are not...The only kid on the not friend list is the "Spanish kid"..LOL

I don't mean to make fun of people, but these "Spanish" kids look like they rarely bath..Have potty mouths, and just look all around like what the scuzziest kid you ever knew looked like..Really I swear..

There home is missing windows..And as I have noted in a previous post..The yard is full of litter...I mean it looks like maybe the garbage truck rolled over in their front yard...

And this little "Spanish" kid has also broke the chain off my middle spawns bike..The one day I told him if I ever saw him on her bike again I was gonna take a jackhammer to his scooter:)

I generally like other peoples kids..I have any number of kids in my yard playing on any given night...But I can not stand this kid..And he is the kind of kid the other kids in the neighborhood follow because they are scared of him....I wanna go knock his block off...

Please I don't want any hate mail about Mexicans or Spanish folks..I am just stating the facts as they are in this case...He IS Mexican..And I DO NOT like him...He is a dirty, potty mouthed, little $**@

That is all I have to say about that..:)

Ado , ado..Parting is such sweet sorrow

Well after 9 months it has happened..I knew it would..Eventually.
I just was hoping it would be scooped out by the time I looked inside..I hate seeing it..I hate getting it out...I hate it.. Hate hate it!!

What am I referring to you ask?..The death of one of my Angel fish..He/She is face down in the bottom of my tank..(I have never had one go belly up..I am not even convinced that do float to the top when the croak)..So now I have one angel fish and 2 whatever there tank mates are..Not sure what kind they are..Don't really care either..:)

***********************************************************************
I picked the oldest spawn up from summer school..He gets in van and he asks if he can walk there tomorrow..I am like NO WAY!!..It is about 4 blocks. maybe a little longer...But he doesn't go to that school, nor do we ever walk that way..And I don't feel comfortable having him walk alone..No how No way..
He is in the van and gets a napkin from his backpack..I ask him what he is doing..He says he is making map on how to get home so he knows the way tomorrow...HELLO...YOU ARE NOT WALKING..HELLO ANYONE HOME??
He will go to that school next year (it starts at 4th grade) I told him MAYBE by then I would let him walk...And that is a BIG maybe..
********************************************************************

I was just reading on a friends site that her little baby is sick..Not sure what's wrong with him...SO please send a prayer out to Angie and her little boy:)

That is all I have for now...

Today I ponder these

Some things I have been wondering:

Why don't kids flush the toilet when they are done?
Why does summer ever have to end?

Why do kids tattle on eachother?
Why do they make diapers a baby can take right off on their own?

Why aren't babies born potty trained?
Why does Winnie the POoh get on my nerves so bad?

why do some woman settle for a man who is a dirty dog?
why do I worry about these things today?

Today my oldest spawn starts summer school..He goes for 2 weeks to brush up on all the stuff he learned in 2nd grade..Some of his friends are going..So I think he is excited about going now...They offer it to all the students...I think it is a good idea..

Lat night after we tucked baby spawn in to bed...I went in to check on her..There I saw my baby spawn standing in her bed with all her blankets and her pillow on the floor.

and she was standing there NAKED. Her diaper was also laying on the floor..When I got closer to her I could see she had piddled on her sheet...So I had to remake her bed and waste another diaper...I am going to start potty training her after school starts..I do think she must be ready...She never leaves the darn thing on anymore..

Well I got to go wake up the 2 other spawns so we can get the boy dropped off at summer school...Lucky him:)

talk to you later......toodles
