You bet your butt!

 Oh so once again my bloginess has been lacking. I have had times, when I think how that was so funny and I need to blog it, and then the evening comes, the kids are in bed, and all I want to do is crash myself. What can I say, I am just not a good steady blogger. I am trying.

 So this week, its been a good week. We went to a park for a picnic on the windiest day in history. Played soccer and football and had a pretty good time, all of us, together, getting along. Amazing, I know right? Tim got a call from his old boss, asking him to come back to work there. Its more hours and a little bit more money, its also night shifts....

 So I suppose I will be back to feeling like a single mom during his work days. This time though, the kids are older and I think it should be easier. Its not like if I need to run to the store, I have to lug all four with me every single time. It also makes this summer SO much easier on us! Yes Destiny and Promise are both old enough to baby sit, but lets face it. Its summer, they want to have lives, and its their siblings so they are not always nice. My house is also destroyed daily... So Tim working evening shift, not going in, until I get home... Is really a blessing I do believe.

 We got a few things for the garden, a new fence to go around the little plot in the back yard. Tim wanted to buy the 5 foot fence,  I am more than certain that the 3 foot one, which was cheaper, will keep out our stubby basset hounds. So certain in fact, that I placed a bet with Tim. Now and then when he is certain he is right, and I am certain he is wrong, I will make a bet with him, a favor that he likes to have done, that I do not so much enjoy. I only bet it when I am sure, but twice I have bet, and been wrong... This though, I am sure of. They will not jump the fence. I can just see Tim in the back yard, T-bone steak, LURING the dogs over. LOL.

 I went grocery shopping this week, without a list. A sin nearly in my book. I mostly got meats, I figured if we have meats to last the month, I can afford anything else without issues mostly. So I bought a bunch of meat and other things at Sams Club. I love that place!

 Destiny is going to PROM next weekend. I can't believe it. She was invited by a Jr. She does not really like him, but he asked her and she wanted to go so she said yes.... I am actually happy inside that she does not feel head over heels for the boy... I mean its PROM and all.

 Anyhow we got her dress, at a boutique store, but its a new dress, store tags still on it... We got it for 15.00! It was half price! Pretty awesome. All in all for a dress, shoes, nails, bra and hair clip I am out maybe 50 dollars, and she can wear this all twice, because she has a formal dinner for choir later this month. The dress is adorable, and she looks fantastic in it (Of course)

 So that has been life. Same ol' same ol really. Got too many kids over for the night. Can't keep the house clean, too much to do, too little time. All my seeds I had started, I left outside when it got REALLY cold... and they died. So now I need to start new ones. I am excited to get a garden going again... MMMM Fresh tomatoes!

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...

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!?" ...
