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..

I have an AWFUL class this semester...it's a history of women in the arts class...I really thought I would enjoy it, and I took it because it is out of my realm and was something I was interested in, however the teacher is a BITCH...

My Bad Mother of the Year Day

So, anywhere where was I, oh yes..my bad motherness..drinking wine at 8 am??? --well..it's 5'0 clock somewhere..get off my back..seriously

Yesterday...we had pre-op for Connor and we go to the German hospital..I thought we'd be in/out in an hour..didn't make contingency plans for the kids...and 5 flippin hours later I was calling everyone we knew to find someone to pick up Lizzie from school and keep her until we got home. Well, the person we got misunderstood and thought we meant today and let her walk home with the neighbors child who thank goodness let her stay and play for a good Hour and a HALF..MEANWHILE the 13 YEAR old was missing..(OK with her friend but still I had ASKED her nicely to be home..and the kicker her (ok kicker 1) I PAY her every time she babysits her brother and/or sister)

Kicker 2: I had to cancel the surgery because he was running a fever last night...

Kicker 3: He is FINE today.

March in like a lion....out like a snowstorm???

Just a few pictures to indulge you to what we woke up to this fine March 26 morning..

How was everyone's Easter..Mine was so-so...It SNOWED here in Germany so we froze our tootsies off. But everyone had a good day. I wish I got shots of the baskets the Easter Bunny left before the kiddo's got to them, but alas the kids got to them first.

The shot above is of the Easter tree I decorated when I was supposed to be hiding eggs for the squadron's Easter egg hunt. I got a little bored hiding. There just wasn't enough hiding places, so I went to Easter egg decorating.

My car goes to the Dr. tommorrow as the German Weasels got into it and ate something so they have to check it out..wish me luck...

Nuff Said!!!

Diamonds are a girls best friend ???

Call me a brat, call me spoiled rotten, whatever..but hubby and I are sitting here arguing right now because...(sit down) he wants to buy me diamonds and I DON'T want them. I'm so picky about my diamonds and to be honest I wouldn't wear them anywhere. He thinks I'm being selfish and I should think about my children and leave them something to hand down to them. WHAT??? Buy something so it can sit around until I die and then give it to my kids???

I'd rather spend the money on something I actually want..a new couch, a new dining room table???

A day at the spa with no kids by myself--with no kids -- quiet --have I mentioned no kids yet??

So am I being absolutely unreasonable because I just don't want diamonds...oh and I think I hurt his feelings because I told him that the pair of pearl earrings he bought for me I didn't like...because I just don't wear earrings. He expects me to pay attention to him and what his likes and dislikes are but he doesn't even notice I hardly wear jewelry and when I do I like to wear unusual kinds not sparkly glittery stuff.
