Hosting Dinner

I am so excited! Tomorrow night, I am having my mother and father in law over for dinner. To repay them (somewhat)for all the help with us getting, and fixing up our new house. I am not sure we could have done it without them. They were there from the loan process, giving advice, looking at the houses we liked best before we paid for an inspection, helping us by fronting money for a fridge so we did not have to live out of a cooler for 8 weeks. I know I have mentioned before how awesome they are, but its worth mentioning it again.

So for dinner I am making "Roast Picante" glazed carrots, and Hot Crash Potatoes. I hope that it is good. I am a bit nervous as I don't normally invite people over and cook for them. Only my family who just complains, and picks :OP I just hope everyone can behave while we have company and I can get (and keep) the house clean before they come!


This weekend is a pretty busy one. What with them coming over, Tim working in the evenings leaving me alone with the four. Destiny wants to have a friend over... "It will be like having a second ME here!" as if that is supposed to talk me INTO it?! FRISCO FESTIVAL is also this weekend. The rides (which I will NOT be riding) are all free. Its pretty awesome. Sunday I think I would like to attend church. I say that all the time and then Sunday rolls around and I look at my messy house and tell myself I need to clean it, and next week I will attend church.


So I am sure I can find time in this busy weekend, to let everyone (all 7 of you) know how my dinner party went, and the festival, well you KNOW there will more than likely be photos :) Stay tuned!


Oh and just for giggles, here is the nifty picture I took on Monday!

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
