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!

Ahh a fresh new week.

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 ...

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.

Tea Party Time

 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...
