The bad thing about a long weekend...

For some reason you just really do not want to go back to work! Or school!

This weekend turned out to be really nice. The kids had friends over Saturday. I was NOT a taxi all weekend long, the friends SLEPT IN on Sunday for me... Ahhhh.

We went to my Father and Mother in laws house for Labor Day on Sunday. I always love going there. The kids also enjoy it. Takes them at least a couple hours before they decide they are bored. We ate a nice dinner and then searched for crickets and worms and went fishing in the neighbors pond. We did not catch anything, which made Bailey mad (lol) but it was nice anyway. The kids got to ride in the BACK of the TRUCK! You would have thought we just took them to the fair! On the way back the dogs tried to beat us and the kids just hooted and hollered!!! It was great!

Destiny picked Bills brain about Democracy for this report she has to do. If she is a winner, she gets a WEEK LONG trip to DC! She has been working really really hard on this. I hope that she gets it. The other kids are rooting for her to win it also, but only because she will be "gone for a week". Sibling love. Its a wonderful thing!

Today I went and got groceries, and Promise and I got our ears pierced "up top". Woot! The kids all got along fairly well this weekend, which was also nice. Tim worked this evening so I was "home alone" with the kids. I think I did a swell job. All in bed (asleep) by 9:30.

So I am off to start a new week. This week I plan on getting back on the short little track I was on with my running (well walk/jogging) So cheers, to a new, short week!!!

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
