Summer

July 31, 2009 – 12:26 pm

I will miss summer.
It seems it is coming to an end quickly.
I will miss the lazy mornings spent drinking coffee (now tea because I gave up coffee for green tea).
The relaxed bedtime routine which includes falling asleep wherever whenever.
Laundry that does not include socks…I loathe socks. Having three boys so close together all the socks start to blend and matching the right socks up gives me a headache (just thinking about it even).
I will also miss all the treats..I am a sucker for homemade cupcakes and JJ’s whole wheat chocolate chip cookies. There is less time for baking when you have school and homework and activities.

What I will miss the most about summer is the time to play in water as long as our hearts desire……

What is better than playing in the hose? NOTHING!!!

Dirt Cups…

July 30, 2009 – 5:41 pm

We didn’t have any plastic clear cups so we used Crown Royal cups..how kid friendly is that? We also use these cups for coloring Easter Eggs. We really do, they are very handy glasses to have around.

T didn’t care for the dirt part of it all….he did love the gummy worms though.

He is quickly becoming a fan of Sprouts and their candy selection.

I am too…though I resisted all the chocolate. Next trip we’ll skip the gummies and get the chocolate.
You should make them too…super easy DIRT CUPS! We skipped the cool whip this time but i highly recommend not skipping it.

Today…

July 29, 2009 – 11:48 pm

I was curled up in bed hoping I wasn’t going to pass out or throw up…I felt awful and it came on fast.
Not the way I want to start my day but luckily by three I was feeling well enough to get up and what did I find?
JJ cleaning her room, washing sheets and everything….. I also saw all the contents of the office closet scattered all over the living room and office floor…Mr. Fun was clearing it out and organizing…..I thought I was in the twilight zone. I thought about going back to bed and trying again but then why? The twilight zone isn’t all bad.

After dinner we decided to brave the heat and head out front where we got snubbed by our next door neighbors…whatever..they can kiss my booty. I never did anything to them. They were once cool and would hang out, not sure what happened but after their 3rd child was born they stopped even saying hello.

Mr. Fun got a bike down from the attic that was given to us by a neighbor a couple years ago. T has never been on a bike. Not sure he cared much for it though. He never went far and kept getting off. He said it that it was wobbly and going to make him fall.

Even with daddy’s help he wasn’t sold on it and got his trike back out after only a few moments of riding. It might of had to do with the fact that mom (that would be me) said “Oh it’s a girl bike”!!

Mr. Fun also got the thousands (might be a tad exaggeration) of beanie babies down from the attic for T. T has been asking for weeks but that attic is like 500 million(most likely another exaggeration) degrees so Mr. Fun has been putting it off. I wish he would have put it off longer for I am now stuck reading names off tags….even if I read it 20 minutes ago he wants me to read it again. I tried to convince him that he could name them himself but he didn’t go for that. So I can be heard throughout the house saying Iggy Mystic Bongo Quackers Bernie Knuckles The things you do for your kids…..

While outside I took this photo of JJ…really? are you fucking kidding me?

It almost doesn’t look like her…Looks like some young lady that went and grew up over night.

Cupcakes..

July 28, 2009 – 8:59 pm


I have been keeping busy lately. Ran into a friend at the mall the other day and ever since we have been hanging out.
Today we let the kids decorate cupcakes, my apologies for only one photo of that….i was busy holding a teeny baby.
I really don’t have much to say lately either. Nothing too exciting going on. The two boys are still in Cali and I am really starting to miss them and hoping that they are behaving. OH PLEASE for the love of everything let them have few out of control moments.
OH… I went to JJ’s school to try to get answers about her schedule. I wanted to make sure that after being bussed from the high school that she would go to 1st period and not study hall. I want her to get out at 2:35 opposed to 3:35. So I talked to two different women that are part of the office staff AND both of them did not understand what I was talking about. So finally it was suggested that I come back on the 3rd and talk to the counselor. That annoyed me…a tad.

And look at these two….we didn’t ask for them to hold hands, they just did. My heart melted.

Ace of Cakes…amazing stuff. I mean i can’t even imagine having that much talent.
Tori and Dean….still obsessed with them and I am hoping the library has her book.
My friend left a BIG bag of croissants here ( i am cursing her under my breath) and that is going to cause me to gain at least 2.6 pounds.
I am thinking of Stellan and his family.

A 4 year old addiction….

July 26, 2009 – 12:13 pm

T is still awake as I type this at 12:58 AM, yes that is not a typo… It’s 1 a freaking clock in the morning. He fell asleep at 5 on the way to dropping JJ off at a friends….slept until 7. He was awake but cranky as ever until 7:20 and then fell back to sleep until 9:30 or so. I even kept the lights and TV off hoping he would just sleep through the night. I tip toed around the kitchen hoping to find something to eat. All I found was a half eaten apple fritter, so I ate it. Not nutritious but delicious…WAIT! it has apples in it and it was only half so I think I did pretty well considering I was in the dark of silence. Holding your breath does not make the crinkle paper that donuts come with quieter….TRUST ME….I tried it. It just makes you light headed and gasping for air.
When he awoke the second time he demanded a frozen (straight out of the freezer) waffle and a glass of milk. You know because he’s four and apparently sits on some imaginary thrown of kingness.
After he inhaled ate his waffle he wanted a lollipop. REALLY KID? Let me go back……. T has had a lollipop or two every day this week. I think he is addicted and we are going to have to call up his preschool friends and the neighbors for an intervention. Addiction at 4 years old can be tricky, I am learning this the hard way. I suppose this is where tough love comes in and we search drawers and under carseats for hidden tootsie pops. He even saves the wrappers with stars on them. I believe it’s in hopes that if and when he is going through a withdrawal the poor cashier at QT will give him the free lollipop just like the stories his mom would tell him before he became a strung out toostie pop addicted crazed preschooler.

Maybe it’s my fault for this addiction…I let him start too young and straight to the big lollis!!

and as he grew I continued to fancy his addiction with all types of lollis…..


So yes, I blame myself!! This lollipop addiction is out of control and we are going to fight it!!!
Oh and I really do not care for the word sucker….it is a lollipop.

Thirteen….

July 25, 2009 – 12:07 pm

When I held her for the first time I didn’t think of her as a young lady or even as a toddler. I thought of her chubby cheeks, round fuzzy head and tiny fingers.
When she blew out her candles at her 2nd birthday I didn’t think about what she would be like in ten years.
I thought about her curls and big blue eyes with long lashes.
As I sent her off to her first day of school I worried, will she be liked? Will she get teased?
Then Middle School arrived and all those thoughts came back and I thought about what she will become…..
Now she turns THIRTEEN and IS a young lady. I never thought it would come this fast….Thirteen years ago seems like yesterday.

She has amazed me all the way. The journey to her teenage years has been nothing but awesomeness.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!!

Thoughts..Opinions

July 24, 2009 – 1:02 pm

Jimmy Fallon is funny!! Last night I laughed through the whole show.
Coffee must be sweet…black coffee drinkers have it all wrong.
I don’t think God deserves credit for Brad Pitts success, especially since he doesn’t believe in God.
The couples on House Hunters don’t always pick the right house.
Mailboxes should NOT require a key.
The actress that plays Bella in Twilight is such a bad actress, she makes me tense.
Jacob is so NOT cute…at all..not even a little bit.
The thought of becoming a minivan mama again doesn’t frighten me….. I like change. I didn’t realize how expensive they were though, even used with too many miles. Who wants to buy a vehicle with over a 100,000 miles on it when the vehicle you drive has less than 40,000 miles on it. That wouldn’t make sense now would it?
I LOVE LOVE Ikea and wish it wasn’t so far away…and by far away I mean 20 miles, I am so spoiled with my 7 mile driving radius.
I have my wish list which includes THIS is black for the hallway by the garage door. and THIS to put next to it
I also want two or three of these for island But our island is a weird height and the shorter ones are too short and the taller ones are too tall. That is why we have lived here 5 years and still no stools for the island.
I also want 2 of THIS one for my bathroom and one for the boys room.
I would also like to pick up two more dressers for our room and one for T when and if we ever turn the office into his room.
I also need to find window coverings for the two windows in the living room…if I knew how to sew I would sew my own.

Tomorrow I become a mom of a teenager……I am so not ready for this. Stay tuned for a birthday post with photos….

Mr. Fun turns 33….

July 20, 2009 – 7:50 pm

This means JJ will be 13 in a few days. YIPES!
As each year passes I think, dang we are too young to be to this old. He’s younger than I am…by two years. So as he turns 33…I have a month left to be 34. I might as well be 40, right? JJ says “MOM, YOU ARE NOT 40….yet”
I did get carded today buying adult beverages for our little celebration tonight. I blame it on the frizzy hair and no make-up….

YEP, I made Mr. Fun’s birthday post about me….I went there….I guess I should get back to the reason of today.

Happy Birthday Mr. Fun!!! I hope despite all the struggles of today it’s a good day for you. I love you and thanks for being you. You rock my world.

Stick a fork in me…I’m done!

July 18, 2009 – 10:56 pm

This is it….I am done…It is too hot here for anyone to enjoy it. I mean really, the sun is down and we still can’t go outside. When we first moved there was a monsoon almost every night. It cooled down enough you could get a few hours of night time play in. I am not even going to attempt to let T play outside. No monsoons or cooling weather in sight. He is miserable too. He threw his shoes as he said” you are so mean..I just want to play outside”, my heart breaks. I so wish I could pack this house up and head west before school starts. It’s bad enough he’s alone this weekend when he is used to having a house full of siblings. He has watched more TV than any child should in a given day too. It’s even too hot to let him swim in the ghetto pool, the water from the hose is 100 degrees. Even the stores aren’t cool anymore, it’s weird. You used to walk into a store and almost freeze, lately I am thinking of warm these stores are.
So I am going to think of a way to get us out of here….HAHAHA! <------- that is me laughing at myself. First off I am not a planner and second how in the world could I do that? It's not like I am going to go land an awesome job in cali. I have never been unhappy with where I live, ever. Not sure what has brought this strong urge to move on but its here and I am having trouble dealing with it.
