The Boy That Turned Nine!!


He is silly, sensitive, caring and always wanting to do the right thing. However, he is a boy that turned nine!
He likes to sulk when he doesn’t get his way. He doesn’t whine and oh how I love him for that. He pouts silently in his room when he’s not happy. He does try his best to be the best big brother and tries even harder at being the annoying little brother. He’s rather good at both jobs.
He loves all sports. Hockey and Baseball being his favorite. He loves chocolate cake and apples…not together though…ewwww!
Out of all my kids he is the one that least likes the camera. Its hard getting a natural smile out of him. He likes goofy faces and goofier poses. Little does he know all those photos are my ammunition when he’s a teen.

Tonight I took the kids to G’s picks for eats…he picked sonic. I really didn’t have to ask him but thought just maybe he might say In-n-Out and make his mother, the one that carried hm for 8.5 months and pushed his big head out happy but nope…he picked sonic.
He is always asking to eat in the back of the burb and I always so no. Tonight I let them, it is his birthday after all.

Happy Birthday G-man, our little gorilla. I hope your last year of single digits treats you well.

Things need updating..you think?

The nurse from the boys school tried my phone, it was in the truck. She then tried Mr. Fun’s phone, he didn’t recognize the number so he didn’t answer. She then tried our emergency contact number.
As Mr. Fun is calling the school back after realizing who was calling the nurse was on the phone with our emergency contact. Who? you are wondering?? It would be Uncle Schlepy who happened to move to the ass cold north they like to call Montana three months ago.
Mr. Fun hangs up with the nurse as he’s getting another call, it’s Schlepy telling us about the nurse calling him. So just maybe I should update that contact list, not only at the G and Wy’s school but at JJ’s school along with T’s school. Or maybe I should leave him on that list so he can feel guilty for leaving us in this hot ass desert. The main reason we picked this city to move to was because Schlepy was here and they were never going to move away. See, they are year round flip flop wearing people like us. So after almost five years of living just a few blocks away from them they up and move to the ass cold north,what the hell? They are trying to get us to follow them but there is absolutely no way I could survive in a place I can’t walk out of house in flip flops no matter the time of year without one or more of my toes falling off from the instant freeze. I would have to wear socks and we all know socks and flip flops doesn’t look good…. not to mention coats??? Coat is a four letter word. I can handle wearing a coat in New York but i’ll never live in New York.
Since we are missing the Schlepy’s I am going to share a few photos from our last session together.


Today she turns forty something :)


We are sorry we can’t be with you but we are thinking of you. Hope you had a great day.
Happy Birthday Grandma Liz…. I will be adding more photos but dinner calls.

Fast Drivers and Potty Mouth Mamas…oh yeah….where’s my trophy?

SLOW DOWN….. Idiot

As those words flew out of T’s mouth, I looked at him….. He immediately put his hand over his mouth as I put my hand over his hand. I was so shocked. Where could he have heard that word? Not from me.. NEVER okay sometimes..okay a lot. Is it my fault that this world is full of idiotic people? No, so I think I should be forgiven.

I asked my neighbor that was walking home with us if she heard it and she didn’t. That is when Wy blurts out he said the I word!!!! Lets pause there…….. how does Wy know this word starts with an I and did he know that was bad word before he saw my reaction when T yelled it to some idiot driver speeding through a school zone? See…only idiots speed through school zones SOOO at least T knows an idiot when he sees one.


doesn’t he look so innocent?

It wasn’t whipped cream….

I don’t want to go!! was heard several times throughout the morning. T was having too much fun playing out back, watching bits of Star Wars and playing little guys with his brothers.
I told him he would regret it and showed him photos of Wy and daddy at Dad’s Day. Told him they would have so much fun. He still wasn’t buying it. Just at this moment Wy walked in from outside. I asked Wy to help us out and tell him how fun Dad’s Day was….. Wy so stepped up. He told T all about Dad’s Day and how he got to shave dads face and dad got to shave his face with WHIPPED CREAM!!(i knew this wasn’t true but i kept my mouth shut like any smart mom would) That got T running to the shower to join dad so he could go to Dad’s Day!!!

When they arrived back home T brought presents for his brothers. A deflated balloon for Wy and toilet paper roll binoculars for hunting dragons. Mr. Fun came through the door wearing the best tie ever.

I mean really…..look at that thing….it’s full of love and personality.

My favorite part of these events is what our kids have to say about us.

As T and I continued to talk about all he did he blurts out AND IT WASN’T WHIPPED CREAM! YOU COULDN’T EAT IT So i said that it must have been shaving cream and he simply nodded and moved on.

I have so much to say?

I don’t know how to say it though, gosh darn it.
Like the idiots on the roads that don’t know how to merge…. drivers ed people!! Maybe you should go take another course. Not saying I am the perfect driver but i know how to merge and use my blinkers!!

Running out of toilet paper is never good thing, thank goodness for Walgreens on every freaking corner.

Diet Pepsi should be classified as a drug. It’s addictive. So is malibu rum and diet 7up.

Private Practice should have put a warning on their show last night… may contain big blubbering scene half way through.

I don’t answer my door when strange men come knocking on it..do you? If i don’t know you, i’m not answering.

Keeping chocolate chips in the house for pancakes and waffles is NOT a good idea when you are trying to not eat that kind of crap. They start to call your name around 10 PM after the kids have gone to bed. During the day they are easily resisted because then I would have to share. I don’t share chocolate well.

It’s a shame that HBO is not free..It really is a shame. I miss Big Love something awful. I want to know how the wives are getting along and if that 4th wife ever came around. And that oldest daughter..she so growing up and never getting married.

I am behind on my 365 project of the kids because I keep forgetting until my beautiful natural light is gone. Tomorrow I play catch up.

Today is the day…

I am so serious about getting back into shape. I hate that my clothes don’t fit right, that i don’t like the way i look in them. I miss putting on an outfit and saying to myself”damn, you look good girl”. I now look like i have had 4 kids and i so don’t want that for myself anymore.
Yesterday I did really well with eating….i know i can do this. I have done it before.

Today is also the day i put the computer down and focus on the kids and this house. I have wanted to be super organized for years and i can never get there. I try and it never works out…i am going to do more than try..i am going to do it. My office was a good start. Now i need to get some filing shelves for the kids papers and stuff. I have all kinds of things in my room that are behind a broken photo screen that we never use..so goodbye to all of it!! I want to hit some garage sales in hope of finding a dresser for my room. I am so tired of not having any place to put all our clothes. They get piled up on top of our ONE dresser!!!

so watch me… here i go….. up and at it adam ant…..

Chucks!!!!

Everyone deserves a pair…Just Sayin’
