Long Time...No hear???

Wow, it's been a long long time for me...I'm a SLACKER...well let's just start this over and reintroduce everyone..

Well, here is everyone anyways..



Alot's gone on in our lives..we've moved from SC to Dover, Delaware..

The girls both are cheerleaders now (say goodbye to my money)

The boy still plays T-ball..but he's a funny funny lil dude.

Umm yep that's it for today...tomorrow the REAL fun stuff will start.

T-Ball

First let me start this out by saying I'm MAD AS HELL right now!!! Some, ok one..HI ED!!!) knows Connor is in T-ball this season. He is only 4 YEARS OLD. Well, the first game went ok..(they won). The second game however went to hell in a handbasket..

First, we had team pictures. NOONE bothered to tell me what time or where they were, I only heard through the grapevine (thanks JEN) that another team had to be there an hour before. I got there saw noone on our team there and A PARENT FROM ANOTHER TEAM had to point me where to go.. Connor and Hunter almost missed pictures. I was PEEVED. Fast forward about an hour and a half to after the game was done, and they had lost. The coach lectured them (chewed their little asses out) for losing, told them that 'he could accept it if they lost because the other team was better, but they lost because they played like they hadn't practiced'....another parent had to step in and say they played great, because he sure as hell wasn't...I was madder than a wet hen...I left and wouldn't even let the boys get snack for fear I was going to go all redneck on him.

Again Fast forward to Monday...it was thunderstorming and they were supposed to have practice, I called the team mom and said we weren't coming, she then called me back and said the coach was having an important meeting with the parents. So, I went..well the coach's meeting was basically saying that they were volunteers and that they felt disrespected at the game on Sat...blah blah blah..I pulled the coach aside and told her my feelings..(and I actually did it pretty nicely, no yelling at all)..told her that my nephew (7) had heard her team mom's talking about me in the dugout and I didn't appreciate it..she said "and you believe what a 7 year old tells you??" I retorted what reason did he have to lie..

Talked to her about what was said after the game and the way I felt about someone talking that way to a group of 4-6 year olds...she said they had NEVER had a parent complain blah blah blah..oh yeah well THIS parent was complaining...I told her my kids would NOT play on that team..so, I took them out and went to the director (?) of the league and requested they be put on a different team..he said to give him a few he would look around and see what he could do...well, that was Monday....this is Wednesday...I'm going to visit with him tonight and find out where the boys can play..I don't care if they win or not, I want them to learn and have fun..

gRRRRRRRR


***EDITED TO ADD*****

They have moved Connor and Hunter to another team and also 5 MORE players....

So, how am I ever going to live this one down???

Well, I think we all know by now that I have SMALL control problems about my car and driving..You did know that right?

So, I H.A.T.E. when Steven drives..he constantly makes me hold the door and slam on the imaginary brake.

But, I did THIS the other day..ran into the durn house. GAHHH

Happy Christmas Eve

from Charleston, South Carolina (for those of you snowbound..notice no snow, no ice, heck it's in the 70's again today..woohooo..GO OUTSIDE KIDS...sorry that was me telling the kids...

anywho..My sister and her man brought the kids to the Holiday Festival of Lights in James Island last night and they got to see Santa..(who upset Connor because Connor couldn't bring him home..yes I need something else in this house..2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 kids..~~did I say 4...wait a minute I seem to have another one..no I'm not preggers I think my nephew moved in when i wasn't looking..~~ and a Santa..)..



Anywho..back again Friday and a Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night.

Oh hear those sleigh bells ring-a-ling...

Ahh here it is Christmas time at La Casa Del Moore...and the kids are hellions sweet lil angels. It's Day one of Winter Break or as I like to call it.."the week of hell"..you may think these hellions angels are all sugar and spice blah blah blah..but I know the truth....

Actually today wasn't that bad...We got up around 7 a.m. (ok noonish) and proceded to clean sit on our asses and do nothing all day until Connor took it upon himself to clean the stove...(have to love my little clean freak) then they DEMANDED I cook dinner..hahahah so I threw some chicken nuggets in the oven and said..done..minions...done...

Now if I have time (can remember) tommorrow I'm going to post my Christmas letter to all of you that I didn't send out Christmas cards to this year and take a pic of me and the minions...you know if they haven't duct taped me to anything and set the house on fire..

Steven

So, I've decided that it's Thankful week at Casa del I'vegonecrazy...

First up is Steven...I am thankful for Steven because he is who he is. He saved me..seriously..I was leading a messed up life when he decided that I was no longer 'best friend' material...more like 'wife' material. He moved me and Kat from Charleston to Oklahoma. He got me out of the life I was leading and into a better one..hence becoming the beautiful person I am today...one who has a DEGREE hahaha...

Steven is currently serving in who the hell knows where, but he's safe..as a matter of fact he's meeting celebs..




this is him with Alex Quaid..she is a CNN reporter...hmm my hard working hubby.

Oh mio Oh my-o...

Oh lordy, lordy I'm losing my ever-lovin mind.

Today I came in from taking Kat to the bus-stop and 'thought' I smelled cologne, a man's cologne..so what do I do?? I dialed 9-1 on my phone and held it (you know so i could dial the other one if I needed to) while I checked my house out to see if there was someone here...

Walk upstairs..don't smell it..

Walk downstairs..still smell it.

Walk upstairs again..don't smell it..

Downstairs still smell it..can't figure out where it's coming from...the dog meanwhile is looking at me like I've lost my everloving mind..(I have)..

About 3 minutes later it occurs to me..duh..it's the plug in...

Scared the hell out of myself for nothing..SHIT.

Mama Mia...

Kat's chorus had their first concert tonight..They did a melody of songs from Mama Mia...it was really good and nice...long though...

(This was for Steven) :D...

My Weekend in Pictures...

Lizzie learned to ride her bike..only two wheels..woohoo..took her all of 1 min..seriously she just hopped on and went..



Went to a wedding...(notice Connor there 'posing')



Me and the kids at home after the wedding..please notice who 'caught' the bouquet..she actually fought and older woman for it hoo boy...




and the pumpkin carving..

Whew what a week...

This picture has nothing to do with today's post, The 13 year old threatened to disown me if I posted this so...go ahead sweetie..and don't fret I will save this one for your wedding day!!!!

Anywho's on Monday my dogs ran off (both of them. First of all I have a full blooded husky who's pure white and a heavy footed heifer...I mean Jack Russell Terrier. I couldn't find them anywhere...well I thought OK if noone picks them up and decides to keep them then they'll come home..No come home on Monday, the kids were devasted. I kept getting up and checking the door ALL night.

Tuesday they still didn't come home and I started to look for bodies on the side of the road. Tuesday night we got a phone call that a couple about a mile or so away had them. Picked them up and she even said that we were lucky she picked them up because someone else may have tried to keep them because they were so sweet and beautiful...Kids are Happy, I am Happy, Hubby is Happy. Worst week ever turned to Best Week Ever.

Now we have to bathe them ....good luck us..

DAMN KIDS

So, I've got a huge spot of RED food dye on my carpet (carpet in the house i'm renting...) anyone know how to get it out..or am I just SOL and have to buy a new room of carpet...


UGHHH

Bad Mommy day..

I was a bad bad mommy today.

I took the kids out of school early and took advantage of the beautiful day and took them to the beach!!! I figured it was probably one of the last nice days we were going to have this season..so I took advantage of it..Call it a MENTAL HEALTH DAY.


Here's Connor:



Here's Lizzie:



and Katherine:

My new house...

Here's my new house for those who care..it's so pretty and Big. I haven't lived in such a nice house since FOREVER... Only problem is the county it's in. We will HAVE to move next year before Katherine starts High School (OMG am I that old???)





And the kids in the 'pool'. This is their Favorite part of the house. Should be mine too with a good glass of wine, but I haven't gotten to get in it yet as I've been LAZY. Heck, according to some I "should" be totally unpacked but gah...why unpack until I need the item..or I might have to get off of my Lazy Bottom.

Maybe tommorrow I'll post pics of the dining room (haha it's the only 'clean' room here.)

Weekend Update

Ahh well, I've moved into the new house (pics to come when I unpack...you know Aprilish). I've discovered I have a lot of stuff...A lot...

Kids are doing good:

Kat is staying with ma and pa so she can go to a different counties school..(the school for this county is AWFUL...I'm afraid to send her to it..)

Lizzie is Lizzie..she is the little momma.

and Connor well let me tell you about Connor:

today out of his mouth comes: "My Penis is Big...My daddy's penis is really big"...needless to say we died laughing. Of course my hubs thinks this was the greatest..made him feel really good..wonder why???

I'll try to take an outside pic of the house at least tommorrow...ish

Oh so sweet...

Guess what I got today???



NO not that, Stacy get your mind out of the gutter?


And not that either...Jennifer I would like one of those..

I got a single Red Rose from Steven with the sweetest note that said "one month down"

Ahh...back to sniveling...

A tropical storm is coming...oh my

Gotta get supplies:

For me:





Oh yea and the kids...


I think we're good!!!

Any ??'s

The kids and Cats New TOY

So, I found myself in a precarious position the other night (hey Steven is deployed for a year don't judge!!) and found myself in one of those stores where I saw the cutest durn vibrator you EVER saw in your life. It was called a mini mini rabbit..Well, I just had to have it...not for me mind you, because I really didn't think it would do the job, but I thought it would be the greatest toy for the cats...and buddy it is.

You should see the when you put him on the hardwood floor and he hops across the floor and the cat (okay maybe just Buster as Boy Boy more looks at you like a fool and you bothered his nap).

Of course when you have a cat toy, it automatically becomes a kids toy, They seem to love it....they love to put it on the floor and turn it on and make it hop everywhere, they put it in the car and put it behind my back in the seat and laugh...and put it in the middle section near my elbow and think that's funny too.

Hey, it was a cheap fun toy...what can we say and ohhh so cute....

Well Hello...

Back by popular demand (thanks Stacy I missed you too..and honey I always miss you and those dreams I've been having wooo..let me tell you...OH MY)..anyway. I made it back to the states and feel 110% better lately. I've come to the conclusion I am a beach girl I NEED TO BE NEAR THE BEACH (or at least within 30 miles.). Other than having to deal with my CRAZY family..(and they are CRAZY) things are good.

OK so here's what's happened since I've gotten home..

1) Kat (13 year old) got her first period...and that really helped her attitude 300%..she is totally a different child. Before this she was a walking bag of hormones...

2) I rented a beautiful house..I move in Sept. 15.. I'll post pics when I move in and get my stuff in.

3) Kids started school..YAY!!! Quiet is not overrated.

4) I made Amanda's boyfriend cry...(might tell you about that tommorrow.) don't want to ruin your opinion that I'm all sweet and innocent and all...ya know..

Sick

I am miserable...utterly miserable with a 'summer cold' ...who knew..they knock you down worse than a winter cold. I think because it's so nice outside..(and yes it's nice here in Germany right now...I know..I'm surprised too..let's hope nice holds out until Friday when we go to Phantasialand where I spend way too much too get in..think along the lines of Disney World...and then Steven bitches about it (Don't lie Steven you know you will...)

I really really (have I mentioned really yet) don't want to go, but the oldest is going the youngest want to go and I kind of thought it would be funner to go with my troop however my troop isn't going now, it's only a couple of us..and my cheap gene has kicked in. I know I have a lot to pay for since I leave here July 1...



I think I need a drink and it's only 8 am..is that too early for wine?? My friend Jennifer would say no...so I say no..except I shipped all the good wine..shit..
