KIDS!!!!

I want to ask sometimes "Why do we have them?" When they are little they give us hugs and kisses, we are their world. Then they turn into TEENAGERS with hate, know it all, love you one minute, stab you in the back another. Where do we go wrong in those years of 8-12 WHERE!!!

If I live through this I should get a badge of honor, every mother should!!

Bathrrom is almost complete. We are having trouble with the tops, but hopfully that will be resolved soon.

Off to gets some scrap stuff so it is a happy day.

Back to the grind

Kids are back in school, but I have one home sick today :( I plan on cleaning up my scrap room and start something new today. I have the sheets in the wash and it is cloudy and cool (great day to scrap).
Spring break was fun we went to the Rodeo with my dad and the kids ate and drank until they were going to blow. They only wanted to go on 2 rides which was enough for them. Remember the fun houses, Tyler and Payton went in one and said it was the best. Funny!
Dad left yesterday for home so we back to the same routine which feels like we are normal again. Something about routine that makes the house run better and the kids act better. 9 weeks left a school then they are out for the summer WOW! this school year went fast.

People who you think are friends NOT!

I am hurt and just don't understand how things got so out of proportion. I sent a box with the Zutter Cutter, wire tag, smaller paper and instructions, 4x6 red bracket book in one box. This box was heavy and mailed it separate since the wire was so big. I sent the second box a couple days later since i had to buy a new box to fit is all. The second box contained 12x12 Tersea Collins paper and tags, 9 boxes of wire (which contain 6 wire each) 8x8 bracket book in red.
Well since this person I do not talk to on a regular basis I just mailed a quick e-mail through Facebook the box is coming. WELL, I get a nasty NOTE to where is the stuff that was in the AD? I took the AD offensive since I thought we were friends and it was not a AD. I mailed more than what was in the picture. Then on FACEBOOK she wrote how a "friend screwed her" I took that hurtful which I did not at all. It cost me almost $30 to ship the darn thing and only asked for $50 total for the all of it and shipping. I would never screw anyone over on anything! I have always paid my fair share and given even more to make it easy!
I guess this is my therapy and close this up! Done!

Dana Buol have fun with your Zutter and extra stuff.

Well I am not on a role this year uh? It has been busy gutting the master bathroom. I never knew it would take so long to pick out a tile for the floor and the shower, so many decisions. I will have to post a before and after of the ugly to beautiful bathroom.
We have so many other not finished projects it boggles my mind why we started this one. DH gets a little bored and something in the house gets torn apart. I guess it gets updated every so often is the good thing.

I have one comment on the housing bail-out "WHERE IS MY BAILOUT!" We pay our mortgage on time, we did not buy more house then we could afford (we bought under!way under) we don't spend money we don't have so "WHERE IS MY BAILOUT!" Why should we pay for other peoples mistakes. I am NOT saying the people that are working 2-3 jobs, taking care of kids, lost their jobs and just can't make ends meat. Where is the moral commitment when you sign that paper. What do you think? I know of 3 people that make mistake after mistake and do not want to change their habits to make it work. SO Why should we bail them out! MOP

Just Frustrated!

Way to long!

I can't believe it has been over a month since I have been on here. I thought I would be better after the first of the year and NOPE! I will try to be better. Well since December it has been busy, but being so cold out for here we have been staying inside.
Tyler spilled some bad chemicals on his hand and it is not pretty. Jack has been sick for over a week with the flu. Let's all pray he will go to school tomorrow PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Payton is my little social bug haven't seen him much lately. I went to family movie night at his school and he took off to be with his FRIENDS. Well I thought the FAMILY would come with me, but no they did not want to sit through Kung Fu Panda. I sat all by myself on the cold, hard gym floor all by myself eating popcorn. What a mom would do for their kids. Now tonight he is at a basketball game his friend is in.

Well I will check in tomorrow the hot tub it HOT! YIPEE!

What a last few weeks it has been from driving to dads for Thanksgiving, which my sister and I spent it in the emergency room with Nik and a cut finger. MEMORIES! Jack turned 14, then Payton turned 11. Now onto Christmas and the kids just want a TV to play their games on and not just a TV a 47" Plasma. The trampoline is going to last maybe one more day ,so that is one present since they use it everyday. The boys got a X-box 360 for their birthdays. It is so hard when they get presents just before Christmas, but my nephew has his birthday on the 24th so he really gets jipped.
We went on a dinner date with friends last night and I really did not want to go, but so glad I did we had a really good time with them all. Steve and I are really home buddies, so to go out it is a treat.

I think I will do some shopping today NOT the mall, but maybe Kohls.

Off to dads house

We are getting ready to go to Dads house for Thanksgiving and it already has been a trip. My sister called and said they could not make it until Thursday night, so dad gets his shorts in a tivey. I mentioned to make Thanksgiving on Friday and he thought I shot the bird right then and there. Well, after much thinking instead of eating in shirts when people come in we are going to eat on Friday. It is a long drive for us 16 hours just for 3 days, but I LOVE my dad and since we won't get to go for Christmas I want to see him for Thanksgiving. I have learned take any oppurtunity to see family when ever you can.

I spent the day with Kris we had a good time. I did not get to see her new house since i needed to get back to the house to pick up the boys from school. It is touch since it is a 1 hour or more depends on traffic each way.
I got a new Bind- it- all so I got some O-wire at the junkie. I only spent 19.00 I was very proud of myself. I am keeping our spending on the low before Birthdays and christmas hit.

Happy Thanksgiving see you next week.
