The oddly normal life of Clorie

 Bailey recently has taken a liking to skateboarding. Tony Hawk has been his jeans type for quite some time now. He wants to go to the skate park and there is even a girl there he wants to meet up with and "Ride" My son, however, is not a dare devil. He is afraid of falling, and hurting himself.  So Saturday he was able to get a helmet, knee and elbow pads with some tickets from the game place. Now he thinks he is indestructible! This helmet must allow him to do anything and everything! He started talking about this steep hill he wanted to ride down, and now he could, since he had the helmet!  I had to remind him that he still has ankles, and wrists and a neck that is not fully protected. ACK. I have enough gray hairs thanks to that boy... NO MORE GRAY bailey!

 I am so ready for summer! I want to start my garden plot again. Think I am going to do just buckets this year. Its so much easier. No having to weed, less watering. Yes I have a nice little plot out there and I had talked about expanding it, but it does take some money to do that, and I just want to do what I know I can keep up with. So I think bucket gardening it is.  I want to do cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and onions and potatoes again for sure... I am going to start to research what might do better in buckets. Oh summer, hurry up and come will ya?!

 I can do it, and I am able to get on my phone way more often than the laptop here lately.  My days have consisted of working cooking, dealing with kids until I drop into bed on a soft pillow and dream of doing what I had already done all day, waking up feeling like I never slept. Welcome to motherhood!  Hannah finally got over whatever it was she had, I think the flu but the dr. said it was not. Regardless now Destiny is feeling badly. It never ends. On the bright side she stays in her room and I don't have to hear her teenage mouth when she is feeling badly. I am a horrible mother! Oh and her boyfriend, whom I have yet to meet, has given her a RING. For Valentines day. Wow little dude, does he not realize she dates, and dumps boys in like a months time?  Promise has been making up for Destiny feeling badly by taking over the teenager mouth. Its great. Plus she argues about every.thing. and is always right so its much fun. SO much fun! She is doing well in school and has bee

 No. I am not talking about my husband (HA!!!)  TGIF. I don't really feel that way anymore, Friday's are now my long day, where I either work a split shift, or just straight through, 12 hours. Either way it makes for a long, and not so thankful Friday. Regardless of all that.  Tonight we did not get very busy. Were not taking many delivery orders due to the snow, and not many people want to venture out I suppose, to go and eat pizza. I did however get 2 tables almost at one time this evening. First table and elderly couple. Second, a woman, with her mother and 2 small children. I took the order for the older couple "Large thin, DOUBLE peperoni, and make sure the peperoni's are ON TOP of the cheese, not under... I am not sure how you make your pizza, but I want the peperoni on top ." I assured them  the peperoni would be on top, and then asked if I could get them anything else tonight. "Yes, you can tell that woman over there, to get her little BOOGER MON

 really. I guess I don't.  Its funny. I have left my life on the line, made sacrifices done all the things that all mothers do for their children. I am there. Day after day. I am there. When a ride is needed at 2am. I am called, and I come. When they need a year book, I am asked and I buy it. When they have shoplifted and are getting in trouble, I am there to tell the police the good side of the child. I am there. Day in and day out. No matter what, I am there, I have always been there, and I always will be there.  Other people don't even get gifts to them on time, make empty promises about taking them somewhere and it never happens, send cards that don't come, post cards that don't get mailed, phone calls and text messages even seem to be far and few between. Those people though, they are super man. They do not get accused of not caring.  Maybe if I tried harder NOT to care, it would seem that I cared more? I care. I do care. Does that mean at the drop of a hat,
