Proud Mama Moments

 I am horrible. I will get on here and gripe or complain until I am blue in the face but when my kids are AWESOME then I never speak a word of it.

 So let me just say my kids are AWESOME. I had Hannah's parent teacher conference, and was not only told how smart and helpful she is in class (which I already knew) but that she catches on SO quickly to the new lessons that the teacher is going to start teaching her somethings and letting HER teach it to the class, and help them to better understand it! She is simply amazing. Her benchmark scores were all in the advanced areas, well above meeting standards. That little girl is smart.

 Promise is doing so well with Volleyball she's always going to practice and working hard. She doesn't complain at all and she is just amazing too. She has all A's and B's so far this year as well which surprised me with all the extra things she's doing I am impressed that she can handle it and keep up with her grades. She's also been a lot less mouthy but I think its just that the couch wears her ass out before she gets home, which I am fine with, and thankful for!

 Bailey is still adjusting to the new school. I think he managed to find his way around and all that very quickly. Finding friends I guess is not going as well... Although he knows some kids and doesn't eat alone anymore... I think he's missing the old group he hung with... He even asked to go back one day, to his old school, but I think he just had a bad day that day... He has not mentioned it again. He wants to try out for basketball, which is the end of this month, hopefully he makes the team and then friends will come along with that.

  Destiny has been job searching for nearly a month and today, SHE STARTED HER FIRST JOB!!! She interviewed and took a drug test and started work today. 5 hours of work. She said her feet hurt. My mother in law told me that now is when she will start realizing how the world works, and about earning a living and all that, and I am glad, I know she has matured about so many other things this year, and I am so impressed with the young woman she is turning out to be.

 I am so very proud of each of my children and impressed with them all. Its amazing how different they all are, even when raised together in the same household.

 I am so proud this week, of ALL my children

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
