Another Blog From the Crazy Lady

My new name.

Today was a nice day. I did not clean the house, even though its Sunday (the day I clean house) The kids got along, fairly well, for my kids. We had a birthday party go to and Tim worked nights, so a bit of a change in pace.

My Aunt decided we should HIKE during the party. I was wearing flip-flops. This marks the second time I have been "hiking" and the second time I have worn the wrong footwear to do so. Fun. I fell on the way out, luckily NOT down the steep hollers we were nearby. I had Bailey on my back, and slammed down on my knee. I look like a 5 year old with the skinned up knee. Luckily though, I am counting the hike as my workout for the day. Especially since I lugged around an 80 pound 8 year old for 7 min. of the hike. It counts!

When I went to leave the birthday party, like mother hen I was gathering up my "chicks" one, two, three..... Where is four? Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaailey!!!! No answer. Bathrooms, no bailey. Creek, no bailey. WHERE is my SON??? Where was my son, well about a MILE away at the POND "fishing" He took a string, tied it to a stick and tied a feather on to one end. When we found him and I was wanting to get mad, his Uncle Joel just kept commenting on what an "Awesome job" he'd done making the pole... O M G.

So to the van, ready to leave, ready to go home and dye my hair, because another 45 greys have popped out for sure after that one. Son, who should be in trouble is having a fit, because he's never been fishing "his entire life". Well son, your LIFE almost ended without ever having fished. He says he asked, I said did I SAY YES? He says he did not hear me... Um then you DON'T GO!

Boys will be boys. My Aunt just kept saying "at least he's safe" and I said, yeah, until I get his butt HOME!

I made tuna mac. The kids begged for me to buy McDonald's on the way home instead. Upon serving the tuna mac, the kids nearly licked plates clean and had seconds, I had to grab a plate to make up for Tim to make sure there was some left! WTH? I do not get children. At all.

Oh I also sliced up a nice ripe tomato from the garden with dinner. YUM!




So why am I the crazy lady today again? Well I am in this challenge group on Flickr it is called Active Assignment Weekly This weeks assignment (and my first I might add) is machines in your daily life. For some reason this stumped me and I finally thought I would take a picture of my water spout outside in the front.












It is very possible this is not really qualified as a "machine" but darn it, its a cool picture anyway right??? LOL. And I am sure a crazy loon for being outside, snapping way pictures of a waterspout when the neighbors come home!!!

It started quite the conversation I can tell you that. HA! Kind of like the conversation around the water cooler. So now not only the lady at the gas station, but my own neighbors, think I am probably nuts. Its okay. I think I probably am as well.

On a higher note, I got all the kids to bed myself this evening. Tim worked until 10, so I had to do it alone. It was not too hard. I broke out a new game of "table tennis" I bought at Walgreen's for .69 and we played that a while to get worn out. It was a nice night. I got some "me" time after they were asleep and now I am ready to go to bed, after once again telling the world, or well "my blog" which is not really the world, more like what 7 people? LOL. Anyway telling 7 people, that I am nuts. Although they already knew too, I am sure. Its pretty obvious.

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
