"I quit!"

 I did. I quit today. Quit being a mom. Okay so it was only for 3 min. I think I might have made somewhat of a point though. I am TIRED of it. Constant arguing, the kids cannot, simply CAN NOT say anything nice to each other ever. Its just craziness. I've said it before, but I will say it again, I did not have siblings so this is new to me, this hatred you can have for someone you should love. Its nuts.

 This afternoon stressed me out with a call from Destiny from school. She did not feel good, but I made her stay in school. The nurse said she did not have fever so she could stay, so I made her stay. Mean mom.

 I had to stop by the "BOYSCOUT" store to get my boy his little outfit for his first pack meeting tonight! $80 dollars later, I have a shirt, hat, belt, hankerchief, and book to show for it. Heh. He better enjoy being a scout!























 I stopped by wal-mart after that, to get a stove top grill/griddle and also the stuff to make a roast, so that I can copy Stephanie my very good friend :) I have had her roast before, made by her and it was THE BOMB.I am hoping that I can come somewhat close, tomorrow when I try out her recipe for myself. Be sure to check out my food blog tomorrow for that. I am hungry just thinking of it!

 Got the kids from school, I was going to borrow my moms lawn mower, but realized it would not fit into the van, with the 90 bags of clothes that are back there, for donation. Heh. Then it started to storm big time anyway so it would not have done me any good to have!

 Once we got home, that is where it all began. The fighting. Computer time, who called it first Destiny and Bailey fought over that one, Bailey one, and then spent all of 4 min. on the darn thing. The other kids were upset to find that I have limited it to ONE time of 30 min. each. Again #2 for mean mom. Its "not fair" and its "retarded" both words I have banned, but that are still used, on a daily basis.

 Hannah had one or two fits over something. Promise got totally pissed off over picking up notebook paper, told Tim and I that we were "stupid" as she ran back to her room. Oh boy. She stayed there quite a while, but did come out with a changed attitude which was nice.

 Bailey and Tim left to go to the boyscout meeting. So it was just the girls and I. The little ones and I played Jenga until yet another fight broke out. I had told them when we started, fighting was when I was done. So the first time, I kept my word. I was done.

 Started cooking bacon on my nifty new girll. Burnt some. HA! I love it though I was able to make a whole pound of bacon in no time flat! It was super easy to clean as well! So upon time to assemble the BLT's yet another fight broke out. Over Destiny pouring soda. Promise did not want Destiny to pour her soda.  Whine whine, fuss fuss, argue, your dumb, your an idiot.... "I'm DONE". Make your own sandwiches! I quit.

 It was not until I heard the little ones crying that they could not make their own that I gave in, went out there and told everyone to sit down and SHUT UP and I would make them. I have never had such a quiet dinner. I think maybe, just maybe they realized I meant it?

 Nope. They were back to the same ol' same later on. This made for a stressed out, happy to see bedtime come mama. I fed them the angel food cake I had made topped with blackberries and they brushed and they all went to bed. All but Bailey, who wanted to stay up, and read his boyscout book. Silly boy.

 Hopefully, tomorrow is another, newer, better day!

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...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

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...
