Laundry...How fun !

Well he is sleeping better ...he goes to bed and doesn't get up until morn ,but his time of choice is 4:00 ! We went out to the big overlook yesterday and looked at the caves that Jesse James use to hide in when he was around here. I have seen it lots but it's still neat to go look at every once in awhile. Then we went to the park, the park here is great for a small town!

The park has a big spot for little kids with tons of play things, it also has a train that you can ride for like 25cents I think ,they have never raised the price in the last 20 or more years. They have a big carousel that was built in the 40s and they still only charge 10 cents to ride it and it's just like new! Plus they have a zoo with a bunch of animals. On top of that there is a track,football field and tennis courts and a big water park!

I couldn't believe it the first time I seen it , I have never seen a small town with such a big nice park before. It makes it nice for kids since there is nothing else to do around here except golf or go to the lake and the park even has miniature golf too!

Well I have laundry,laundry and more laundry to do today! What are you all up to?

Two Good Things !

Brody slept until 5:30 ! Then when he got up after his bum change and bottle he was on his playmat and rolled over and I seen it!

Other then that the only thing going on here is a manhunt beside my mils house for some guy that got away from the cops yesterday!

My dh has a bunch of school work to do today after work so we will be stuck home for the day . I told the kids I'll let them each get a movie to watch ,so nobody is in here bugging him. So what are your plans?

No Room For You !

I thought sleeping was too boring, so I got up an hour ago to play with the baby. I think you all should try it as well,it's so much fun ! Why sleep when you could be up at 3:00 reading blogs and listening to your baby talk to his toys!
Just a little warning to anyone going to KC , I'm not sure how long things are going on there but there is some big youth thing going on and a wrestling thing. We had to go to the airport yesterday morning so we went up wed night and were going to stay at one of the hotels by the airport like we always do and get up and run over early in the morning.Well we have never had this happen before, the first one we went to was full and so was the second and the guy in there told my dh that all the ones in there were full because of something going on at the big complex thing out there. We drive away from all those and hit the next set of them try two more same thing. We got there at 8:00 and thought ,it will be so nice to sit in bed watch tv and sleep all night without someone (who stayed at his grammies for the first time over night ever) waking us up all night! So we drive and drive and he keeps running in and asking, everyone is full and most he asked would call a couple and see if they were too and yup of course they are meanwhile we are driving farther and farther from the airport through all the blocked lanes and road work going on that will take forever the next morning in traffic! At 12:35 we stop at one and you guessed it ...FULL, for the last hour or so I've been in the car with my dh who has turned into a crazy pissed off wild man making me fear for my safety as we drive on our search for a damn room! Anyways I see him in there talking and the woman on the phone like all the others I have seen come and go before her ,he comes out with a paper and OMG he has a room booked it's 30 minutes away and was one out of the two they had left. As we are driving to this place he tells me about what the older lady at the desk has just told him... it's pretty close to downtown and most people don't like to stay down there. As we drive I'm thinking I can't wait to go to bed and will our car still be there in the morning or will the gangs,hookers or other bad people have stolen it ? He also tells me that he had called aweek ago and tried to get our room at a very nice hotel,the one we stayed at the first night we were together for the night with the tub in our room and the 6 person shower in the bathroom and the granite kitchen and leather couch and fireplace and private deck and yard. He had it and then that day an hour before he comes home they call him and say there was a mistake and it was double booked and the other person had been first! I say oh honey that's alright we shouldn't spend that much anyways ,besides hasn't this been fun now we have a fun story to tell the kids about driving and searching for a place to sleep and then ending up in a part of town we will never go to again..... if we make it out alive that is! Meanwhile when we had stopped at the second hotel earlier some other guy went in a few minutes after my husband and I could see them talking and then my husband come out the door towards me after he had been told no again and the other guy was going to his car ,when he got in the car I said what were you talking to that guy about he said the man had his four kids in the car and they had a flight at 5 the next morning and couldn't find a room either,as we drove to our room that was being held for us ,I wondered if that poor man had found one or was he sleeping in his truck with his kids or in the airport itself ?

The Bib Says It All !

My son oh how I love him! Even when he wakes up at 12:00 and has a bottle then goes back to sleep . However that would be too easy so he got up again at 2:30 and I didn't get him back to sleep until 6:00! He got a bottle and a dry bum and I try putting him in bed to let him cry himself to sleep but there is a big difference between crying for 5-10 mins and going to sleep which I let him do in the day lots and screaming at the top of his little lungs with his hands up in the air like his calling Jesus and shaking them at the heavens with his face beet red and sweat and tears pouring down it! I know there is nothing really wrong because the second he sees one of us going to pick him up he stops! He talks to us and is happy like it's play time! I have tried tylenol and orajel and it does nothing for him. I think maybe he's teething and you just cant really see anything yet but whatever the problem is stops the second he knows he is getting picked up so to me he can't be hurting or he would be acting fussy when we are holding him too!

Well I have lots of cleaning to get done here , and I hear my boy yet again so ,off I go for a fun filled day! How little did I know how perfect that bib would be for my boy!

A Sleeping Baby and A New List !

I have seen alot of different people doing this now and I think I will too. I read alot of blogs everyday and not all of them are listed here since it would take forever to read through it. I don't use it anyways to get to the blogs I read they are all in my favorites list. So I think I'm going to change it up and do what others are doing if you have me on your list people see then I'll have you on mine. If you want to do that then let me know, and I'll add you or keep you on but fair is fair if you don't have me why should I show yours? I know some people might think it's rude but I think it's fair . So just let me know if you are down with it. Haha I'm so cool!

I don't know what is up with this boy but he no longer sleeps all night for the last couple weeks he is up alot,last night he went to bed at 8:00 he was awake at 12:30 had a bottle and went back to sleep. He was awake again at around 3:00-3:30 and was awake until 6:00 talking and yelling and he had a dry bum and two bottles in that time but didn't want to sleep and anytime I laid him down he played for a few then screamed his head off until I picked him up. I don't want him keeping everyone else awake all night and since my husband works all the time and has that damn phone ringing at all hours of the night he needs to be able to sleep when he can. I just got the baby to sleep now he had a bottle was sleeping and then he was wide awake again but now in there playing he fell asleep. I want my nice sleep through the night baby back!

Well I have laundry to get going ,so let me know how you feel about the list thing and I hope everyone has a good day!

My Life Is Boring !

Yesterday we were without the baby from 10:00am until 7:00pm! It was 101 out so a little too hot to be running around to stores since it's always hotter where there is lots of concrete but I didn't care! We moved into our house at almost the end of Nov and we started ripping things apart right after that. We (I mean my dh since I was very pregnant) ripped out a wall to make our room bigger and we painted the whole house and ripped out the floors in the hall, all the bedrooms and the livingroom and this room which was a dinning room. We made it into a more useable living space this thing is in here and alot of the baby's play things and my big chair that matches my couch set but won't fit in the livingroom and an old roll top desk that was my dh's great grandfather's so I spend alot of time in here and the baby spends almost all day in here playing. Anyways back to what I was saying ,we put new floors in and we had to rip down all the lights and get new ones since they were all big fans in everyroom that hung down way to far and took up too much room. We did all the other rooms except this one and the livingroom because we can never find ones that are big enough , we wanted to get something that matches the rest of them in the house but the ones we have for the bedroom would look to small in here. So we went to Home Depot and Lowes yesterday and once again nothing , he got a new bbq cover for his beloved webber. Then we went to BabiesRUs since he has never been and I'm not really having any luck finding hats for my boy. We ended up getting him some stuffed toy rattle things and a couple other things and we looked at about 15 different hats all too big like always then one was really cute and that was too small ...great now I sound like goldilocks anyways . I found one that would fit but it matches some winnie the pooh stuff , so of course then I had to get him one of the outfits to match it ! We ate at The Cheesecake Factory , it was soooo good! He got the Cuban and I got The Navajo sandwich he ate his whole thing but couldn't eat all the fries and I ended up taking the big piece of chicken out of both halves of mine because it was too big to eat with them in there and it was still good without ,then I was too full and couldn't eat them and maybe I ate 5 fries so I guess we will know next time the food you get is enough to feed an army or it was at this one anyway. I'm guessing not one person got dessert and ate it there because I think I seen to-go bags going to every table including mine, I wasn't going to go there and not try something... I'm not crazy! I got the Lemoncello Cream Torte and had it when I got home after the baby went to bed , it was awesome! We went to Sam's after that and got a few things his mom wanted and a couple things for the kids and that's it . We got home and I went to water my flowers and I noticed the stray cat that I see sometimes around the yard, and then I noticed somethingelse close to her and she had three kittens one black one gray with big blue eyes and one little one that looks like a male cat that we see all the time and this little one was just like him, so I run in the house like a crazy woman and get food and water and put it over close to where she was so maybe if I get her use to not running off then maybe those babies won't dive back under the shed before I can get a few pictures of them and grab them and see if they are boys or girls or what. This happened before we went to get the baby , then we come home and I look out and I see some other cat close to where the babies are and I run outside to scare it away which I'm sure I did, since all I had on was my shirt and underwear as I was in the middle of getting ready for bed when I spotted him....good thing we have very high fences or I guess I would have scared my neighbors too! I come in the house and my dh says well now that you have been out there enough maybe the mother will move them since you know they are there, I had already said earlier if the one I like is a girl I want it, and all I have heard since then is we are not getting a cat ! If I can catch the little thing without the mother attacking me and it's a girl then I guess we will see! So that was my fun day,what did you do on the weekend?

My Parents Love Me!

I don't know why they are so happy for the first time in three months,I'm going to spend the day with my Grammie all day sunday! What will they do without me ?
Sleep? Go out to eat? Get a movie? Go to a movie? Sleep? Go shopping ? Do work around the house? Go for a drive longer then and hour and have nobody screaming in the back seat? Sleep? Miss me and come get me early? What will they do?

Great Mom Spots

It's Early ! Please Forgive My Rambling!

It is 5:45 I have already been up for an hour! Last night we were both falling asleep before 10:00, my dh said boy we are old going to bed at 10:00. I'm nice and let him sleep till 7:00 but I'm always up with the baby so if I stayed up late at night I'd never get any sleep!

We went to see my fil on sunday for a bit and he gave my dh one of those memory box things that hang on the wall with his Little League uniform in it that he wore when he was a kid.He had saved it all this time to give to him on his first father's day! We are going to hang it in the baby's room. I thought it was funny on it ,it says VFW and now my husband is in that . I know this might sound silly but at the end of the year I always let the kids pick whatever meal they want and that's what I make for supper that first week , this year my youngest daughter goes first then the other two pick theirs for the next couple days. I asked her and thought she would think about it for a couple days and get back to me but within two seconds of asking she said Sheperd's Pie so I guess that will be first and then the other two yell theirs Chicken Enchiladas and Lasagna which is fine and I love it all but since it's always so hot you think they would pick other things . I find in the fall and winter I like big meals that you have cooking in the oven for the afternoon but in summer I can live off bbq and salads so it's not so hot in the house! I love Steak and Broccoli Salad ! What is your favorite thing to have on the bbq ?

Off to the dentist this morning, if I make it out alive....I'll let you know!

Now You Show Me Yours!

Trailboss showed me hers ! I'm showing you all mine! Now I want you to show me yours! I want to see your spot you blog from and don't clean it all up first, I want to see the real deal! Notice all the papers and stuff on mine those belong to the dh, it's all his school work stuff.
The baby got up from his nap in the morning and he was fine the rest of the day thank goodness and it rained so the hubby couldn't do his golf thing for work....oh well !
Ok now leave me a comment so I know who is going to do it, and that way maybe someone new that has never been to your blog will go see too!

Movies and Screaming !

The baby did so good getting his needles, just a couple little yells and by the time I picked him up he never made another sound. We got home and he had a bottle and went to sleep for about an hour then he woke up screaming! I listened to him kinda fuss while I held him for an hour and then I had to put him down to go do something (what now I don't rem) he screamed until I picked him up again. So I had to hold him until 8 when his daddy got home then he gave him his last bottle and we put him to sleep. He was back up screaming at almost 12 and since my husband was still up doing homework he took him and let me go to bed. He put him back to bed around 1:30 and I was back up at 4:45 with him screaming again. I just got him back to sleep now about 20 minutes ago. He never got a fever and didn't even feel warm but I guess his legs must be hurting . I hope he feels better when he wakes up, if not then you know what I'll be doing all day ....Holding my Baby....so he isn't screaming! Well I'm off to read as many of my blogs as I can before he wakes up while I eat the rest of my blizzard because there's nothing like chocolate icecream at 6:00 am ! Has anyone watched any really good movies lately? We got a couple on the weekend but I didn't think they were that great we got.....In The Name of The King and Jumper if I never watch either of them again it won't hurt my feelings!

Babies and Needles !

I just got back from taking Brody in the rain to his 4 month well baby ! He was 25 1/4 long and he weighed 16lbs,8oz. Everything was great but, I take him to get his needles later this afternoon which I'm sure he won't like. Last time he got them he yelled for a minute and as soon as I picked him up he was fine,he never got a fever and was fine that night and the next day. I usually find though if they are going to get fevers or be cranky it starts with the 4 months ones. I hope he doesn't but I guess we will see tonight, and lucky me the dh has a golf thing for work all day tomorrow and won't be home until late . Daddy came with us the first time and took these pictures with his phone. It will be only me there this time so I won't take pictures ,since I will have to rescue him after the mean nurse makes him scream in pain!

I love Pizza !

The dh is at work like always. I have laundry going and the baby is playing , today once the hubby gets home he needs to work on stuff around the house and I still have 6 bags of mulch to put out but haven't because of all the rain. We got pizza last night and it was really good, which was great since the last few times it was awful ! I like mine with pepperoni, Italian sausage, canadian bacon (or ham as I call it) mushrooms and pineapple. He doesn't like the pineapple being on it but he still gets it so I'm happy isn't that nice ! So when you get pizza what do you like on it? Yes I know the picture has nothing to do with what I was talking about , I just like them and it's the first time I ever had any bloom !

Ok ladies....do I got one for you! Now these are my feelings and some of you may agree and some of you may not , but I want to know either way and why!

My ex husband and I ... DO NOT... get along .. big shock there ! There are lots of reasons and here is one of them and to me it's a big one , after all he is the father of my three older kids .

His girlfriend is young as in too young, he started dating her when she had just turned 16 which also means my oldest had just turned 12 there is two months between their birthdays. So at the time he had a 12 year old girl a 10 year old girl and a 8 year old boy and a 16 year old girlfriend and he was 33 . If the girlfriend happened to be there over night at the same time as my kids were then she went on the bus with my older daughter to school , this did not make my daughter happy at all . She said she didn't like that people would say stuff to her about it and lots of people would see him with all 4 of the kids out somewhere and they thought that the girlfriend was his oldest daughter. She told me how he would let her boss the kids around and how when he wasn't there she spent all the time talking on the phone and on the computer to boys and wouldn't let them watch tv in the livingroom and made them watch the little one down stairs and if they said anything to their father when he got home they got in trouble for saying anything bad about her. It even got to the point a couple times where her and my oldest daughter got into fistfights. My daughter who has never got into fights with anyone my daughter who if someone says something mean will cry because it hurts her feelings ,because she's a big softie like her mom. She said her father said right in front of her at the mall to people or wherever they happened to be ....I wish I was 17 again it would be great. She said that's nice if he was 17 so he could go to school with his girlfriend I wouldn't be born !

Now he's still with this girl and she just turned 20 and still acts the same way towards my kids. In fact she moved in with him when she was 17 . When something is going on that I don't agree with I say so, and he gets angry and tells me what he does is none of my f**king business , and I tell him I don't care what you do ever unless it involves my kids then it is my business! I tell him the different things I have a problem with and I do ask him as nicely as I can if he will say something to her about it or do something about whatever is going on at the time.

Any time I bring up the fact if she was older, she wouldn't do most of the things that get me so angry ( I do realize she is just a kid after all ). If he dated someone his own age then they would treat the kids different because they would be a grown up. Then because he is flipping out by then and yelling at me which I do not like, I add how sick I think it is and how many parents from school have made the comment after seeing them together how awful they think it is. He always says well that's just you , like what he's doing is normal and there is nothing wrong with it. Now don't take this as in I'm jealous , trust me I'm not . It was me that had , had enough of his bs and wanted a divorce and never gave him another thought from that moment on. That tends to happen after years and years of anger and hatred for someone. I could care less if he has a woman I just wish it was a woman and not an older sibling for my kids! Since now that I'm yapping away I have also said in my rant at him what kind of parents allow their 16 year old to date a man in his 30's and think it's ok ?

I have asked him if Taylor (15) came home and said she had a boyfriend ,that was some 35 year old man with three kids would you say that's great dear .....because let me tell ya I would not! Anyways now that I have written a book here (sorry) ranting in my anger. What do you think ? Is he right and most people think this kinda thing is ok ,or am I normal to think no ...

most people would think it's sick and sure wouldn't want their kids around it and wouldn't want their daughter to do it.

Let me know how you feel and why ? Since I knew it wasn't going to be a nice post a stuck the flower up there taken on a day when there was sun out! I have been up since 5 with the baby because the thunder was so loud it woke him up...lucky me ! It's dark and raining and thundering here again! I hope you have sun and it's a nice day where you are !

Just so you know, I have said to my dh I know lots of guys think it's cool to get some young girlfriend , do you think that it's ok and I should never say anything. He said I think it's wrong and even worse because of how close she is to the kids age. I'm 33 and I wouldn't want any girl younger then 27-28 because to me they act young and we wouldn't have anything in common.

I love him !

My boy is 4 months old today ! He is getting bigger and bigger ! His mommy is not getting smaller and smaller ! I take him to the doctor on monday so we will see how much he weighs and how long his is now. Both of the boys weighed 7 lbs 15oz but he was a week early since I told the doctor I didn't want to chance going into labor on the weekend when she was away. I just think it's weird 11 years between them and they both come out the very same size. However I'm not the same size . I went to get a bike this weekend so I could be biking my butt off whenever he goes to sleep ,and of course walmart didn't have any in . I need to lose 60 pounds ! The weather says thunder storms again later today,I guess one day of sun is all we get per week! Does anyone watch Army Wives ? It started again on sunday ,we watch it in summer and Ice Road Truckers started sunday too ! I can't wait for John Adams to come out on dvd so we can get it. What shows do you watch in summer ?

When you are too busy to bath the baby ..... give the job to someone else !

The baby was up at 2:45 he never does that ! He's been sleeping from 8:30-9:30 to between 5:00-6:00 for the last month and a half or so . Last night he woke up then and I listened thinking he will go back to sleep like he always does if he's making his little sounds but I was wrong! He started off with little sounds and it turned into......... I'm hungry feed me now woman ! He had a bottle and did go back to sleep but I think he talked to himself for another almost half hour first. Then he was back up this morning at 5:45 ,so I have been up since then .

When I got up I noticed my dh wasn't in bed and found him sleeping in the spare room. He didn't get home from work last night till around 8:00 and after he ate he was doing homework , I went to bed around 11:00 and he said he still had a bunch to do so I guess it was really late and he didn't want to wake me up. He is going to college at night and online to get his degree .

I just looked at the weather and it says we are under a flood warning still , it's not raining and it says partly sunny today so that's good. I like hot and sunny all the time I don't mind it raining in the night though for the lawns and gardens and flowers . I like to hang out clothes in the day, to me there is nothing as cute as seeing a line full of little baby clothes. It is also a nice little get away from the kids and since you are doing that and nothing fun they don't come near you wanting things. I also like to mow the lawn and that's why haha. Other then the baby sleeping that's the only break I get. Now it's your turn....... what is something you do to get a little break from the kids during the day ? Let me know and once I get the baby to sleep or at least playing for two mins I'll come back and see if I can learn something new I haven't tried yet !

It's raining again today ! This is from a couple weeks ago , when it rains for a few hours really hard after it already has been raining for a few days our road looks like that! The water gets so deep you can't see the road and if you drive past my house then by the time you are at the next driveway the water is up past your doors if you are driving a car and the longer it rains the deeper it gets . In these pics it's in the other people's yard alot but I have seen it go all the way up to their house so you can't see their drive or any of their grass. I want a new house in a new town in a new state and I want one I never have to worry about it flooding again ! Last year at this time we lived in a different house and it flooded here so bad last summer that the water was up past our knees on that road and the police were making everyone leave at 10 at night. Our house didn't get any in it then either but the lady right beside us got lots. There were around 150 homes that got flooded so bad in town they had to be ripped down. Down in the ball fields the water was as high as the backboards of the basketball nets! I want to move ! I hope where you live it's nice out and sunny and warm and you all have a nice day and be thankful you don't live here !

I love this little face.........even when it gets up at 4 am for three mornings in a row !

You know it's going to be a lovely day, when this is the last thing your husband says to you in the morning before he gets in his car to go to work. If it gets real bad grab the baby and get the hell in that hall closet ! Ok dear , I'll see you tonight.... if we don't blow away that is !

He always wakes up happy !

I love my oldest , she is the one of the two girls that is more softhearted like me. She has lots of friends of all shapes and sizes, and if anyone ever picks on one of them she is the first one to say ,well I think you are pretty or whatever. When she was in grade 7 she was in a school with around 1500 kids or so just grades 7/8 were in it, at the end of the year she got an award for top female student in the school and top student in her grade. This year she is in grade 9 and on her own decided she wanted to join SADDwhich I was very happy about since I have always harped at the kids about how wrong it is to drink and drive,or ever get in with someone that is doing that. What I'm getting at is , she is a good girl and has never gotten in trouble at school ever or at home , other then the normal fighting with her sister and brother some. So this weekend I don't know what was worse ,what she did or the fact that I was so disappointed in her and angry .

This year for Christmas I got all three of them a really nice video mp3 player it holds 4000 pictures and 8000 songs and then it has like 16 hours of movies or something and nobody else in the school has one like the one my kids have. Her father got her and her sister each a nice digital camera . I don't buy my kids stuff all the time they are not spoiled and we are not rich , but this year they wanted new ones since their old ones were cheap and crappy and I don't mind getting them one nice thing they really want with all their other odds and ends . So Saturday I get a call from my crying freaking out 15 year old. Her mp3 player ,camera, wallet were all stolen !

I was so angry first because she knows better then to leave her purse out and not locked in a locker or wherever( she just happened to be at the pool for a party) she was there with a friend and her mom and then another friend was meeting her there and that girl was having her birthday party there ,then all the girls were going to stay at her house. So her stuff was in her friend's moms car but then they had to leave, the other mom had left to go get something and Taylor had her purse with the stuff in it and her sleeping bag and instead of waiting for the other mom so she could move her stuff to her car, she set her purse in the locker room and put her sleeping bag over it. I yelled and yelled she knows better then to do something like that! She was crying and said well nobody was in there and I thought it would be ok until her mom got back.

They are all swimming and having fun and then ,they go into change and leave and she goes to get her comb or whatever and sees her stuff is gone. While the party group were in the pool they had seen a couple girls from school that are bad come in and hang around a different area but they didn't think anything of it. So Taylor is pretty sure it was them that took her stuff since I guess they are kicked out of school at the moment and have already been to jail for stealing, which I wouldn't know anything about since they are girls she's never been friends with.

I wanted to call the parents and say my daughter's stuff went missing from the locker room on sat afternoon and since your daughter was there I was just wondering if she might have seen anything that might help us find it. That way I'm not blaming the kid but then her parents know if they see her with the stuff to ask where she got it or something. However Taylor freaked out and said no don't because she said I don't want them to beat me up . So now we are pretty sure we know who has her stuff but we can't really prove it and of course I don't want my daughter getting hurt. Yes they are just things and she said there was no money in her wallet just her student id and since it's the end of the year that doesn't really matter but my parents never gave me anything ever and anything I got as a present from whoever I always made sure I kept care of it, so I felt hurt she didn't bother to do that and I was angry because it was alot of money . Mostly though I think I'm angry and upset that there are so many kids today that just do whatever they want. I don't get why their parents can't be bothered to teach them right from wrong. In most of the cases these parents act like their kid is perfect and never does anything bad. I just don't get it I don't know why anyone would want their children to grow up and not care if they are good people or not.

Some people try to use the excuse in some cases oh the mom had her when she was really young and alone so she didn't really know how to raise the kid and never had help and whatever. BS I say , I was 15 when I moved out and was on my own and I was 19 when I had my first baby, I didn't have any family to help me and I had a husband that always was away for months at a time working ,and I taught my kids right from wrong ! Anyways I'm over it now I know she feels bad , and maybe someday those bad girls will get what's coming to them !

So how was your weekend , I hope it was better then mine !
