The Story of Bob

We have a lovely new pet. His name is Bob. See sometimes I'm a good mother, sometimes I actually do extra things with my kids. Bob is one of those things. This is Bob as of this week (ignore the date on the pic, as I haven't figured out how to update the date yet). Bob is a dirty ole sock, stuffed with dirt and grass seeds. Bob is growing grass hair. Good grass not the marketable type, naughty people! Bob is the only plant type thing I haven't killed, ever. It might be cause Princess is soley in...

Dare You To Make This!

I don't do alot of cooking now that the step-dad from heaven has arrived with all his chef-ly skills...However, I did make them beautiful bad boys for a recent gathering of friends. I'm rather proud of it. In fact, I've ordered a blown up picture to hang above my bed. So here you go: Fruit From Heaven Recipe You'll need: -bananas (at least three)-apples (six Gala apples are my preference)-kiwi (for garnish so just two)-strawberries (small carton)-one package crystal light orange flavoring-water...

On The Road Again...

It seems that the road to work is where I spend most of my time. It's where I smoke three cigs in a row before I get to work, where I can't smoke. It's also where I call and check on my girlies while sitting in traffic leaving work. I have a bitter relationship with this horrible stretch of road that has three useless red lights (why put a red light when there is no intersection?) and only 2 lanes to accommodate a thousand cars in one stretch....However, this morning, all was forgiven. As the sun...

Sunday Morning Coming Down...

Sundays are a good day in our house, except that The Man has to work. So us girls have to find ways to entertain ourselves. Lately, we've been following a good schedule. Get up, have a big ole breakfast...go to church...grocery shop and then nap the afternoon away. Followed by a bike ride if we have the energy.Today was no different. Except, those lovely children that I gave birth to (another story completely) were absolute angels. Twice I had to check... what's your name and who are your parents?...

Memories in the Making

Well we have almost settled into the house. Finally, the house feels used and full. When we got here, we weren't too sure what to do with all the extra room, well. We figured it out. My mom and step dad are settling in well downstairs. Plus, twice this week I've come home to find dinner already cooked.....HEAVEN!My tulips are blooming. Turns out the yucky looking brown stuff in the front of the house were roses and tulips. Who knew? I have such a horrible black thumb. I've promised not to touch...

I can't help myself...

There are days, everyone has them I know, where you just have to throw a tantrum. Sometimes this may be in the middle of Wal-Mart, personally I love doing it there, people just move out of your way for the rest of your shopping trip. Then there are times when it may be at home. However, I seem to have a thing for restrooms.Public restrooms.At work, I make it a policy to never scream, yell, curse (okay, ya got me there), throw things, belittle or bite. However, I will make an exception. All the above is totally okay, if it's in the confines of a bathroom.So after having a very very late morning,...

Sleep Sleep and More Sleep

Since I'm out of school for now, what do you think I've been doing with that extra 2 hours each night?Sleep, Sleep and more Sleep. Yawn. Personally I think I look much better for it too! Plus, see the above proof, I've been getting up early enough to actually feed my children before they leave the house for school. I rock!!!!Otherwise the mom and step-dad are enroute people. They are expected in less than 2 days. I'm finishing up their rooms downstairs and trying to remember to buy more groceries....

CatchUp

I know it's been almost a week since I've posted, I should be shot and drug through the streets but I thank you for your patience. Whew, things have been really crazy here, as usual. Where do I even start? Oh how about I go in order of events? Okay....deep breath....I finished my English class....the last one I'll ever have to take. I kicked it's butt. I got a 96 for the entire class however, the butthead, I mean professor gave me a B on my final paper on ADHD. What a jerk, he said I didn't cite...
