Not so glamorous

April 29, 2009 – 12:23 am

I have dishes from lunch piled on the counter. Yes, LUNCH. It was a half day so we had grilled sesame turkey, green beans and a salad for lunch.
Dinner was nothing more than popcorn, apples and frozen waffles, WHY? I didn’t want to do the dishes. I can’t cook in a dirty kitchen. So I didn’t cook. Seemed reasonable to me.
I have three loads of laundry waiting for me tomorrow because I couldn’t stay on task today.
There is dried up mac n cheese under my kitchen table..i haven’t swept since the relish jar..not just any relish jar but a not even opened relish jar met the tile sunday afternoon…..the mac n cheese will be there tomorrow…no worries.
I need a pedicure like nobody’s business but the only way that is happening is if I give myself one. That is so not as fun.
Add manicure to that list….never given myself a manicure though. Can’t imagine that is any fun.
I should be up doing some wii yoga…instead…i think i’ll go tackle the dishes so i don’t wake in a bad mood and snap at innocent children.
oh but the real housewives of new york is on…maybe i’ll watch their glamorous life and pretend i’m one of them for awhile.

Mom’s Day Tea..

April 26, 2009 – 11:44 am

Yesterday was a day for just T and mom. What fun we had. He was a little disappointed that there wasn’t any games like on dad’s day but he got over it while he crammed a cookie in his mouth.
On the way there we had a conversation that went like this.
T~ I forgot the words to the song
Me~what song
T~ the song we are supposed to sing for you
Me~ that’s okay maybe you’ll remember them with all your friends singing with you.
T~no, i don’t sing (looking really sad)
Me~that’s okay T, you don’t have to sing
T~ but it’s going to make you really happy if i sing, i don’t want to sing.
Me~ assured him i am happy just to be spending the afternoon with him
and he DID NOT sing one word while standing up with his friends.

He also got a chance to play with his best buddy at school.

I also took this opportunity to get a photo of him with his teacher…..

Of course there is not one photo of T and I from yesterday but oh well…
All the moms were asking each other to take photos of them with their child…i took a few for others…nobody wanted to use my camera..really?
T even made me an awesome bonnet…..maybe mr. fun can take a photo of us today.

Everyday life ….. with us…

April 25, 2009 – 12:59 pm

I enjoy my kids so much when we are doing nothing but hanging out. It’s that time of year that we spend hours outside. By the time the sun goes down and we drag our butts inside the kids are filthy. Heads covered in sweat, feet are black from top to bottom, hands are covered in dirt. Yesterday was no different.

The boy on the run….

I swear he’s not throwing down gang signs… he’s “what upping” his brother. This 9 year old sure is challenging..I am thinking I don’t care for the age 9. So we got age 3 and 9 that aren’t so pleasant for me.

The girl….the girl that giggles…the girl that is almost 13..the girl that is becoming social. She went to the play GREASE at the high school last night with neighbors and today shes at an A-Team Event this morning and she has a birthday party tonight.

The boy that reads…even outside…he loves his belly button book. If you don’t have this book hurry, go get it…i’ll wait….BELLY BUTTON BOOK

He loves it so much he rides and reads…

Our neighbors came down to play…as they always do when we are out. Sometimes its one sometimes its more. Anyways, one of them brought a pickle in a bag from QT….everyone loves QT…they couldn’t of picked a better spot to build that store. Its like heaven in a lit box with doors or something like that. AND they have pickles in a bag….who could ask for more?

oh you know i am getting a pickle in a bag today..you KNOW it!!!!!

This is what happens when photographers are a few drinks in and they turn the camera on each other

But don’t they make a cute couple? I think they do

Ever wonder?

April 24, 2009 – 3:13 pm

I know this girl…she is an idiot…says the most idiotic things. How do you tell someone they are an idiot without it sounding rude? Is that possible? Maybe if I say it with a coffee and pie?
Dear Suzy, you are an idiot. Here’s some coffee and your favorite pie…..don’t hate me.

If you can’t have a screen door, how do you keep flies from coming in your house? Besides keeping the doors closed? I want them open but hate the flies. See, we are surrounded by horses and cows. We live on the corner so the flies like to stop here and don’t feel the need to move on, just invite friends.

Why do birds fly into windows? My windows are not clean by any means…they have circular marks from a million nerf darts hitting them all.day.long…

I also wonder if my two older boys switched bodies yesterday….look at this photo…..what isn’t right?

QT plus Thursday equaled Funday..

April 23, 2009 – 11:55 pm

A QT opened up a few blocks from us today!!!! We HAD to go get Freezoni’s!!!! Oh yeah we did!!!

They couldn’t contain their excitement as we got closer….Oh Summers are going to be so sweet…oh yes!!!

Mr. Fun didn’t make it home in time to walk with us but he met us as we were on our way back….

They never come running to me when they see me…but whatever, i don’t hold a grudge.

and how could I ?

they crack me up around every corner…

thursdays without warrick and grissom will never be the same though…CSI almost sucks now.

When the phone rings….sometimes you know it’s bad news…

April 23, 2009 – 12:30 am

My doctor called today…I knew it had to be bad news..i just knew. The results i got the other day were JUST for my neck..these results i got today were for my brain….i have been referred to a neurologist..it could be MS..it could be cancer…it could be nothing. My doctor is not happy with the health care system…she doesn’t understand why another doctor got the results from my MRI and it was only of the neck..she has yet to get my neck results. So here we go…for a ride. My worst fear is leaving my kids without a mom…..or a mom that isn’t fun..i mean really….i am mrs.fun..really?

So i am feeling a little pouty today…..

Ice Cream Headache!!

April 21, 2009 – 1:56 pm

I got a call yesterday saying the MRI showed no signs of MS….WOOT!!! can i get a WOOT WOOT? I do have an injury to my neck, what? Never been injured so what the heck? It’s mild and should go away on it’s own..still waiting for that to happen. I can move my arm above my head and roll over in bed without wanting to scream so i suppose it is getting better.
Now we are onto blood work and trying to figure out what is wrong with me. Maybe I am just CRAZY! It is a good dang possibility. The symptoms I am having could be symptoms for many things so we are narrowing them down.
Back to the ice cream….we celebrated…I had rum, the kids got ice cream. After all it was 99 degrees out yesterday. Mr. Fun had rum and ice cream.

So it went like this….

April 20, 2009 – 4:20 pm

Where should we go today?
Sedona, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Scottsdale, downtown????
We didn’t know where we would end up. We got in the car with the clothes on our backs and cameras…..
2.5 hours later we found ourselves in Kingman at In N Out….so now what?

I suppose we could just go to Vegas…its closer than home. We hit the road again and headed towards Hoover Dam. As we were sitting in Dam traffic the kids got a kick out of using the word Dam like Damn…silly!! There were some good ones in there. Then there were some where the word dam just didn’t work and you knew it was damn,tsktsk. So much fun though.
We messaged our good friend Leah and secured a place to crash since UFC and the Miss American Pageant were in town and rooms off the strip were $200 or more.
After we arrived and visited with Leah for a while we hit Kohl’s for extra clothes, then dinner out. We headed towards the strip and the kids were amazed. JJ much more than the boys. We parked and walked through Paris, Miracle Mile, watched the fountain show at Bellagio and walked through the butterfly exhibit. By this time the kids were tired and it was 10 PM…..the amazing thing….. There was ZERO whining…from anyone….ZERO!! We had so much fun and enjoyed each other immensely.
On the way back to Leah’s house we stopped for toothbrushes and breakfast food at a 24 hour walmart…..YES I KNOW!! i went to walmart and survived….the the girl walking around making her sneakers squeak about met the back of my hand though. The cashier was a robot…i heard her say the exact same thing with no eye contact before it was even my turn to check out.
We got the kids tucked in bed and with JJ in charge Mr. Fun and I headed out to PT’s Pub to meet up with Leah and Marcy. Good times!!!!
6:45 came early though…Wy was up and wanted to go downstairs to play with the dogs….he wanted to bring one of them home..oy!!

It only took 5 years….

April 13, 2009 – 4:37 pm

We made it though…we can say we have been to Sedona. (why does firefox spell check say Sedona is not correct?)

It was a spur of the moment trip, like most of our trips. I think every Easter should be spent in Sedona. We drove through and walked through the beauty in awwe!! Oh and it’s a beautiful place to take photos. My camera battery died or I would have a lot more to share…lucky you I had to stop taking photos.

This one is for Grandma Roxie and Ally….PEACE!!!!

It is so peaceful up there. If T would of stopped talking for a mere 30 seconds we might have been able to enjoy the silence…..

Of course he never did stop talking..until he fell asleep on the way home….

The boys were not cooperative when it came to taking photos though..they wanted nothing to do with it so I’ll share two I got of my willing model.

Things I learned in Sedona
~The food is overpriced but yummy…service is slow….
~Sedona does have a neighborhood that I would classify as the hood of Sedona, complete with dirty children running barefoot with saggy diapers.
~There are also “horror movie” houses out in the boonies of Sedona…scary looking houses that gave me the creeps.
~I want to go bag for a long hike.
~Just because the outside of a place looks really nice and almost new doesn’t mean the bathrooms will be clean…oh how i hate gross bathrooms.
~It’s beauty is breath taking.
