The oddly normal life of Clorie

 Really, honesty is almost always the best policy. If you lie, you normally get caught in that lie. So just tell the truth. Don't make an excuse, dont dilly dally around. Just say what you do or dont want to do, say no and say it without explanation. then you don't have to make up some damn excuse. Its much easier.  Anyway on that note, after a week off of school I am super happy the kids go back tomorrow. YAY! I am ready for work again too. I think. I say that now anyway.  I am starting the Couch to 5K thing tomorrow. I found an app for it on my phone, and I am thinking that is pretty awesome. I don't really believe I would or could ever run an entire 5K but this program says I can, and I really really want to. I see people jogging down my road in the spring/summer and I actually feel JEALOUS of them. I want to be the one running past THEIR house!  Got the carpet out of my bathroom finally. Tile is down, well linolium stuff that looks like tile. I still need t...

 You know. I think even the best of moms have tantrums. After a full day of kids having them, being treated like crap, cleaning the same thing 20 times and it still being dirty again when you leave and come back.... Well its stressful and I think I am allowed to feel, stressed.  So today the stress hit. Christmas is almost here. I want to be able to get my children everything they ever wanted, and more. I know this is not possible. I want them to be able to appreciate that I do what I can do, and above. I want them to realize Christmas is not about presents, but about giving and sharing and love and so much more.  My kids thought throwing things would be awesome today. They threw a permanent marker and then it got on my wall. This set me off. My living room was trashed, after I had it vacuumed and picked up, my kitchen looks as though no one ever cleans it although I had been in there 10 times or more today. I just lost it. I have that right to lose it now and then. I...

   Sometimes my family drives me crazy... Sometimes they make me laugh. Sometimes they make me do both at the same time.  Lets see. Over the weekend we watched "The Wizard of Oz" Somehow my son, has never seen this show. He's seen "parodies" of it on cartoons and such, so he knew the just of the movie, but had never seen it. I am depriving him I suppose.  Anyway were watching and Hannah keeps saying how she likes the show when it turns color "It does turn color, right?" Yes. It turns color :OP~ Then were at the part where the Scarecrow needs a brain, and the Tin Man is wanting his heart... Bailey says "who do they meet next, the lion?" Yes, the Lion... "What does HE want from the Wizard.... A KIDNEY ?" That was some good stuff!  The weekend was a busy one, and Sunday... My housecleaning day was interrupted by Pam, needing me to take pictures of her kid... Well first off pretty much ANYTHING can distract me from house cleanin...

 That is what Tim always calls me. Never no Clorie. I let myself get lured into things I don't really want to do, because I feel badly saying no. I have gotten better, honestly I have gotten SO much better... I still have the nickname.  I was supposed to have tomorrow off, think I blogged about that. Yeah. I am working now. She begged, I need the money anyway, I will probably be bored.... at home... with no kids or husband... Yeah, sure I would have just been bored, and I need the money anyway! So I said yes. Blah.  Went to Kohles today and got some really good deals :) I love that place. They picked up my trash, finally. I have had this ANNOYING twitch in my eye, off and on ALL day. That is annoying. So there was my day. Hannah was feeling better today. That was good. Hopefully she's all on the mend.  Bailey and Tim leave tomorrow afternoon, so I am praying for a safe trip, and being thankful to the best father in law ever, for the use of his more reliable, tr...

 I guess you just cannot understand it. I have tried to understand it, and I think I have only made myself go crazy in the process. So I will stop trying to understand it, I will also try to stop walking on eggshells to avoid crazy from going off though. If crazy goes crazy, then that is what happens. I do not understand it, I do not control it, and I cannot prevent it. I will also NOT make myself crazy over it. So there ya have it! My baby girl is under the weather today. Well she was stuffy last night and this morning, Tim asked her if she wanted to stay home from school. Her response "NO!" LOL. That's my girl! She's not feverish, just stuffy head... So I thought she was fine to go anyway. She came home and pretty much crashed, now she has a tummy ache, and that means, she wants to waller all over mommy. Nice kisses and snuggles from my sick germy baby.  I get a day off this week. My boys are going to Little Rock for an ENT appointment. I took the day off sin...

 That is all I have for today. A big fat Whatever.

 Life. That is how it usually is. Crazy. There might be some down times, but they are usually far and few between. Life is crazy but you still need to make time for the important things, the things that really matter.  I will always take the time,  to hold your hand when you cross the street.  There will always be a moment,  To hear about things you think are pretty neat.  Life is never to crazy,  To hear what you might have to say I will never be too busy, to not talk to you today. its never to late, For another kiss goodnight  I will never regret,  doing what is right.  Taking the time,   to watch you sleep and dream  So many of the moments,  forever ago they seem.  Time passes to quickly,  to not make each second matter.  Ill never be too busy,  to hear your pitter patter.  As long as my heart beats,  love for you will flow   And as each day passes, ...

 Oh this time of the month. I know that 90% of the reason I feel this way is because of the time of the month it is. I know this. Does it make me feel any better? Nope.  I am bitchy. Why? Because I am a mom. I love being a mom. I love my kids. I love my husband and my life, animals, house, yard, job ect. I do. I honestly with all my heart do. Sometimes, however I do not so much love being a mom. Not today.  Mom is the one that everyone comes to. She (I) can be doing 12 different things at once, or heck She (I) does not even have to be HOME and she is supposed to somehow solve the problems of the world in the household. WHY does it always have to be mom? Why can't we take care of it ourselves? WHY cant we ask DAD for once?  I swear there is a button on my butt, as soon as I sit, the button is pressed and my kids MOM me. It never fails, it always pushes in, every time I sit... Sometimes it does get stuck in, and I get MOMMED even when standing, but it never fails...

 Today was the school mother daughter tea party. I took miss Hannah Bear. She had a good time. A few of her friends were there. They got to get their nails painted, some make up on... There was a stack of dresses to try on and then model on a "runway" oh and of course some tea and snacks! (my favorite part of course)  The kids school had a scare today. It was locked down and police were called after a man was seen just wondering around the playground at recess time. Again it makes me SO glad they go to a small school where teachers know parents and know when someone who does not belong, is there. No one was hurt, and the man just walked off when a teacher asked him his reasons for being there... Scary anyway.  This week has been slower than the last, for that I am thankful. I am still busy don't get me wrong, but I am able to keep my head above water with just a minimal tread. Not having to do the backstroke all week is nice!  It is nearly "my time" S...

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

 People have just been crazy!  I had my nurses group at work today. They came in when we were quite busy, or I was anyway... Took me a while to get back to them, but they were kinda rude about it, and then when the food was done, they had to have it boxed up and leave... She told me that they waited FIFTEEN minuets for me to get to the table... They did wait a while, but there was NO way they waited 15 min before i got to them... Not to mention the one who got rude, was not even there first, others sat down before her. NO way did they wait 15 min. I told them about our call ahead option, although I wanted to say STFU and don't go to a DINE IN restraunt when you have a limited amount of time for lunch... At least not if the place is busy... I mean HELLOOOOO???  I did not make it to the gym AGAIN today. That makes all week. No workouts. I was on a roll last week, but that roll has now, well, rolled down hill. I wanted to go, I did, I honestly just did not have the time ...

 I might just lose my mind this week... I thought I was going to be busy but I really had NO idea how much so.  All I can really say is it REALLY only Wednesday???  I am super mom, was able to be 2 places at once (nearly) today. I have worked a double this week, already got in the hours I normally have a whole week, in just the last 3 days... Hurt my foot, fell and banged my knee. Thought I lost my 2 youngest children for about 30 min yesterday...  To put it quickly I have been so busy I have forgotten to eat. ME forgotten to eat. You just don't understand. I am headed for a shower, then bed. Night night. Sweet dreams dear neglected blog o mine.
