Vida Loca: November 2007 Archives

I don't want to play anymore.......

You know there are days when I swear I want to run away to Ireland, live in a castle with someone that strikes a STRONG resemblance to Bl@ke Shelton who will feed me bon bons and make sure my tiara is always on straight and the big bonus? No kids. ~gasp~ Oh the horror. Yeah, today? I don't want to play anymore. I want to take my crayons and go home. I am usually really low key when it comes to the kids. It takes A LOT for them to get to me. Unless of course you are my husband then all you have to do is breathe in the same room I am in. ~grin~

Want to know how my day with the kids has gone so far?

~Grace and Eli have decided that I don't feed them enough and felt the need to sneak into the kitchen to steal apples and then hide in a corner to partake of their booty~ What is it with them? I hate that they act like they don't get fed and instead of asking for an apple they sneak into the kitchen for one.

~Zachary, mad because his brother won't give him something decides to chuck a toy across the room making it bounce off the window. Yes bounce, lucky for me it didn't break the window. He got sent to his room.~His response at being sent to his room? Scream at the top of his lungs that no one loves him, I am never fair with him and he wants one more chance.

~I receive a letter from the high school letting me know in their lovely "We regret to inform you" tone that the eldest is in danger of failing for the year.~ Uh hello, we aren't even done with the first semester yet. Great. No matter what you tell the kid, he knows better and every damn thing. All I can say is, No more summer school for you bucko. Sucks to be you.

~JJ decides to stay after school but neglects to let me know. Granted he came home on the late bus, but would it kill him to make a freaking phone call to let me know?~ Seriously, can I have some common courtesy please? With a glass of wine to wash it down? If you are going to be late, freaking call!

~Alex has just been in my face all damn afternoon. Can I? Will you? Did I? May I?~ *Throws hands up in the air* Oh my gawd just leave me be for a bit!

Little people all around me!! ARGH!!!!

Not only am I taking my crayons but I am taking my ball too. Ya'll can sink or swim without me. ~sigh~ My kingdom for some "me" time. ~kicks rocks~

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Today is also Chuck's birthday. I am trying really hard to refrain from making the Happy TurkeyDay Turkey, jokes. So far I have only said it once. I am sure I will same at least one more time. =)

Live, Love, Laugh and most of all be Thankful~

Uh, yeah

Some ideas for Chuck's birthday gifts this year:

an Ip0d
a welder
another clock :as if we don't have enough we have a clock in every room sometime more than one:
a NEW CAR ::what? Do I LOOK like I am made of money?::
a new TV
a haircut ::Ok this one is really funny!::
A gerbil ::yeah, NOT::
Another chicken
A kung fu sword ::Zach Zach Zach, not everyone wants to be a Evil Genius Ninja Warrior like you do my love::
A call into P1mp my R1de to have them "redo" the van ::someone save me these are my children::
A cake maker ::wha?::

And these are just SOME of the ideas. Don't worry I am not ruining the surprise. His gift is no where on the list but some of those ideas are hilarious!

As for yesterday's faux paus, it was one of those moments where you go, "Oh shit, did I just say that out loud?" HA!

Conversation tween my children and soon to be divorced wife.

How old is Daddy going to be mommy on thanksgiving?

Daddy is going to be 48 this year.

My revenge will keep my old body warm on cold nights.

You are kidding me right?

3.15$ for regular unleaded. What.the.hell.

Monday night I paid 3.09 on the way home, on the way into town for an appointment on Tuesday morning it was already up to 3.15$ a gallon. ~sigh~ AND I don't drive a huge gas guzzling tank. I drive a C@mry. COME ON! And it takes close to forty bucks to fill that sucker up. ~sigh~

Halloween has come and gone and in two weeks is Turkey day. Some one stop the ride, I want to get off. It is going way to fast for me. ~wanders off~

Long due update

Yeah ok.

I agree we really have sucked at posting.

And its mostly my fault, but darn it if I was to use an excuse the kids have hit fun stages, even the grumpy teenager.

But here, some pics and so forth...

This is the young ones on a cow at the Fair a month or so ago.. man, we were there for a day with Granny, and the WORST thing the kids did was be loud for like 10 mins in the car on the way. The behaved like angels. No whining, no gimmi gimmi, no running around, they were awesome. Fun day fr all.

We have one branch that always turns first. i really want to remove the tree, but not gonna happen cause it always goes vivid first. This is not it, this is an other tree, but point is there.

This is the tree that does the first leaf... Also first without leaves...
