School started two hours late today because our city pretty much shuts down when it snows. I stayed up extra late last night thinking my kids would sleep in. Every morning I have to drag their ass out of bed. I listen to them complain that their to tired to brush their teeth and their to tired to get dressed. Not this morning they came down like spring chickens ready to rock and roll. This really put a damper on my sleeping in, like I said before I'm no morning gal. I found myself having to entertain instead of sleep. I tell them hey go take your I-pod touches upstairs and play. I kick back to chillax alittle on the sofa, I start to doze off a bit and all the sudden it sounds like they are bowling upstairs. Well enough said I couldn't get their asses out of here fast enough so I could lay back down. I don't get why I can not fall asleep at night but I can fall asleep in a minute during the day.
LADY AT THE BANK
I finally get up at 11 and drag ass for awhile. I find myself torn between TV, the computer, and my David Sedaris book. BTW, David Sedaris writes some seriously funny books. I had one thing to do today before the kids get home and that was go to the bank. Don't ask me why but I decide to go in the bank instead of the drive through since I'm doing a few things there. I walk in and there is no one behind the counter. This overly friendly girl walks up and says " can I help you" and lures me into her office. Now I know this is never a good thing she is going to try and sell me something and I'm a huge sucker. She takes my checks and she goes in for the kill. She says "are you happy with your checking and savings account?"......Yes, I am. This is when I think umm I'm going to play stupid. She says "what do you do for a living?"......NOTHING. "You must do something" she says....NO NOTHING. She then says "are you married?".....yes. "Well then what does your husband do?".....he's in furniture. She asks "do you keep these amounts in you checking and savings consistently?"....I don't know I have no idea whats even in there. So I end up getting out of there with just my deposit slip. She must have gotten in trouble for not selling me because my phone rings 10 minutes later and its her. She now wants me to sign up for overdraft protection-credit card. I tell her I'm not allowed to have a credit card. From now on I will be using the drive through at the bank.
PICKING UP THESE PEOPLE I LIVE WITH
I go from the bank to the school to pick up two of these people I live with. My friends daughter is coming home with us. Cole has had a crush on her since we moved here. All the kids get into the car and Cole in the most dramatic voice is telling her that she is the love of his life. I look back and give him the Mom stare that means shut the hell up! I'm afraid he is going to embarrass her. I'm kinda starting to think I'm raising little love sick puppies. He then goes on to tell her that he will date her when they get to HS and after college he will marry her. Now I have to admit I'm glad that he has listened to me on dating in HS and marriage after college, see I'm not the worst Mom in the world ever. Then comes the big one in his very dramatic voice that I couldn't even begin to describe he tells her that she is the one. I'm laughing inside myself at this point thinking I should have not let him grow up watching "One Life To Live". We get home and I ask him if I can have a word with him. We go to my bedroom and I try to explain that I know he is in love but I think he might just be making her uncomfortable. "OK Mom but let me tell you LOVE is a strong word and should not be used lightly, I know that and I mean what I say" he says. I'm thinking did this kid just drop down out of a Hallmark movie?????? I blame Blake his older brother who also thinks he is in love, Cole wants to be just like him.
WHERE ARE MY GLASSES
Hubby walks in from work and I'm cooking bacon spaghetti. Now when the bacon comes out of the oven all these people I live with start circling like sharks. I find myself guarding the bacon so I can get it in the sauce before they eat it. One time when I was making this same dish I made the mistake of leaving the room when I came back half the bacon was gone. Hubby says "have you seen my Oakley's?" Now this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I can't even tell you how many times these people I live with ask me where THEIR shit is. I give him the look and say "how would I know where YOUR Oakley's are?" I don't know if any of you others find this most annoying but I think why the hell should I be in charge of all your stuff???????
FLUORESCENT LIGHTING
Anyone who has read any of my previous post know that I hate fluorescent lighting. So hubby every time a light bulb blows out changes it and replaces it with a fluorescent bulb. He says this will save us money on the electric bill. People look like crap under fluorescent lights, this is a fact of life. I personally have no problem living with the soft filtered lights and paying an extra five dollars a month. I have never understood why they put fluorescent lighting in dressing rooms. I know longer try clothes on in there, I'm a huge believer that ignorance is bliss! My sister always gets on me for not trying stuff on. Sorry twisted sister but if I never had to look at my ass in fluorescent lighting again I would be a happy camper. If I owned a clothing store I would serve wine and have soft lighting in the dressing rooms.....I would make a killing!!! BTW, once hubby puts florescent in the bedroom I'm moving out! Anyway another fabulous day with these people I live with.
This is the story of three jack ass boys, one anal Hubby, one very close 2 insane Mom, and one perfect dog.

On the road again!
So I'm not a morning gal at all and never have claimed to be one. I can never seem to get my ass in bed before 1 or 2 in the morning, this is my down time. I love to FB and watch all the crappy tv that I dvr. When the kids are in soccer season it means 10 weeks of hell for me. We not only eat fast food, which there is not much to pick from out here or we eat out of the crock pot, which is hard to be creative with for 10 weeks. So sleeping in on a Saturday morning is un heard of at this time. Last night I went to bed at 1 and tossed and turned because my mind likes to play tricks on me about all the TV I could be watching at this time. I got up and got Aidan to his 9am game. This may seem late to you but you have to remember I live out in the middle of no mans land, so I have to go at least 15 miles to get him to his game. This is no easy task to get three up and ready plus myself. So we drive to Aidans game, drive 15 miles back home, eat something and get ready for Blakes 12:30 game. Get back in the car to go another 15 miles to his game. Blakes game gets over and I have to drive back to my house to drop a few off at a birthday party. I drop them off get back in the car and take Cole to his 2:30 game. Coles done drive him back out by the house to drop him off at a party. Drop Cole off back in the car to go 12 miles to the grocery store, at this point the only thing going through my head is "on the road again" that damn song is playing over and over again in my head. Back from the grocery store and I go to pick them up from the party. We get home and Aidan and Cole want to go overnight at their friends house......great I say since I was going to have to take them to Dave and Busters for their B-day.....this is a good way to put that shit off. So were in the house for 2 minutes and I hear Aidan from the bathroom say "my doo doo is back and its not good." F@#k I think! He comes out and says I can't go to someones house with doo doo problems. No, you can't. Anyway we end up meeting some friends at the stadium. This is a sports bar in our neighborhood where you can bring the kids and even your dog I think! We get there and there is a dog running through the restaurant, only in Texas! Were leaving to go home and Cole is going home with the friend to spend the night. As were walking to the car Aidan says "Mommy I can spend the night" I say No honey were going home. Aidan says "I just went doo doo and it's all good now" That's great honey but your coming home with us. Alittle crying on his part and alittle bribing on my part and we go home together. So needless to say these people I live with caused me to go through a half of tank of gas in a matter of hours!
So while at the stadium Blake wins these stuffed animals! When I look at them the only thing I can think of is vaginal disease. I know I have a sick sense of humor. So I know hubby is in the mood, so when we get home I say look honey my womanly parts are all itchy, bitchy, red, and just plain mad! I really don't think you want any part of this! Of course I'm the only one who finds this funny at all!

Why me?????

Are those stolen flowers for me???


Sleeping through the Austin plane crash.
So got the kids to school. Went back to bed because I'm a slug at heart. Got up at 10, well maybe 11! Got on FB and my friend Sharri messages me that she is reading about the plane crash in Austin! WHAT???? I hate flying so I hate to hear about plane crashes. Every time I have to fly I stress for weeks before I even get on the plane. I dream about stressing about getting on the plane. I go though every "What if" in my head! It sounds ridiculous but I drive myself almost to the point of insanity. I have imagined my plane going down in every way possible and then I read the secret and freaked myself out more thinking that it will happen cause I'm picturing it! I know I sounds crazy but its a very real fear for me. Well this crash did not freak me out since it was some dude who was pissed at the IRS and crashed on purpose. Well we made the national news here in Austin, keep it weird...I guess!

I didn't sign up to be a referee
I'm telling you after these last two days I think I'm going to go on line and buy myself a referee uniform along with a loud ass whistle! I don't know if any of you other people feel like your more of a referee than a parent, well that's where I'm at! I spend my days breaking up fights, trying to get kids to listen, and helping kids with homework that I sometimes have to google to figure out myself. The madness has started with three boys playing soccer.......this means practices almost every night of the week....which also means three games every Saturday. Not to mention hip hop for two and guitar for the other. I feel I have no time for me since I'm either driving someone somewhere or breaking up a fight. I'm thinking of putting a padded sound proof room in my house, maybe for myself more than them so I can go in there and yell F@#K!!!! I find myself saying all the things I swore I would never say to my kids like "When I was your age" Well guess what they don't care about when I was their age just like I didn't care when my parents said it. How about the famous one when you have run out of steam to argue anymore and you say "because I said so"....I always hated that the the most! I have had to take everything away from my 12 year old because his grade is slipping in a class. I don't know how to get through to him....drives me nuts. I caught myself saying "this hurts me more than you" now it really does.......but I remember being a kid and thinking my parents were full of shit when they said that. Kids just don't get it. I keep my cool for a long time and after I tell them to do something five times I find myself yelling. They are like why are you yelling???? Hello people I wouldn't be yelling if you would have just listened to me the first five times. Once again they honestly have no clue. Then in the end they say something that makes me laugh. Aidan tonight says " I feel OK but for some reason I have doo doo" I don't know why but I found myself laughing at that. All I know is I hope I'm around to watch them raise their own kids, I'm going to sit back and laugh my ass off. Especially since mine have a bad habit of telling me that when they have kids they are going to let them have anything they want and do anything they want. Yeah buddy good luck with that and let me know how that works out for you. Anyway sorry for bitching tonight but life has been alittle tough with these people I live with lately!

40th Birthday party 70's style












John Travolta shows up at the party for alittle dance fever, I think he brought Sandy from back in his Grease days. We also had a couple of 70's gym teachers stop by in hopes that they could do the hustle. John promises to keep this party "stayin alive"











Now these are some Afros, almost kinda makes me wish I was older in the 70's. I would have enjoyed the Disco Days.
