Dear the Queen of tooth fairies...

This morning I woke up after only getting 4 hours of sleep. Mlmm crawled into bed crying for food at 4:45am. "I'm hungry wake up...I gotta go pee...I want milk". This is how it started. So up I got and got her some cereal and milk turned on a movie and made coffee. After the movie was over mod woke up and sat with mlmm while she started to fall asleep so I could pull out some Bacon and sausage to thaw out for breakfast. When I sat back down mlmm was sleeping on mods lap. Mod looked up at me with the sweetest face and said "she is so cute when she is asleep but when she wakes up the turd comes out!" Although I tried not to laugh at his I knew in a way she was right. So I said "you're right she is cute".
Not really acknowledging the turd part. It really surprises me how smart and over emotional she is at eight. I mean when I was eight I didn't act like her. That happened when I was eleven.

So I made breakfast and laid on the couch wishing I could sleep for an hour but I had laundry and I wanted the man to collect rocks for the rock garden. I am on a mission to get the front of the house done. Probably so I can enjoy our porch.

Today is the last day win mods best friend and I met the dad in gorman at 5:00pm which was crazy you should have seen all the cars. She is like a daughter to me so I too get sad when she leaves.

Tonight mod wrote a letter to the Queen of tooth fairies. Mod found her tooth this weekend and that tooth fairy must have not been told because she didn't come again last night.
Here is what it said.


Dear the queen of tooth fairies,
I would like a better tooth fairy like the one I had in Bakersfield. She never forgot and always paid me.
Love, mod

I have a good feeling that he tooth fairy is coming tonight. Keep you informed.
Today is also memorial day and I want to say thank you to all of our vets and service people. I also want you to look at your flag you are flying and if it looks like crap show some respect to all who served or lost there life for that flag and get a new one. I mean come on people! If you took the time to put one up take care of it. A new one costs what 10 dollars.

So thank you super chef, GPA, papa, gma, up, b in-law,all my uncles and anyone else in my family who sacrificed to keep me safe. Thank you to my friends who's family members have served. Mostly thank you to my cousin, kt, and everyone currently serving knowing where you are going to go and still signing up to serve.

I also feel like I'm getting sick. I hope its just lack of sleep.

happy birthday mo

Happy birthday was the theme for today. So I woke up first and tryed to keep mlmm from yelling and waking everyone up. So I made coffee and watched a little TV. After the birthday boy woke up I saw the mood he was in and realized that I needed to take a shower which means maybe a little alone time so I can pray for the day and for his already bad mood. So the man made cream of wheat for the birthday boy. When I got out he seemed a little better and after getting crappy news I decided that I needed to change my attitude. So after yelling at mod because she refused to get up and get dressed so we could go. And Since I am such a nice person here we were all in the car and off to the Walmart to get some put door games and a new kite for mo. Then off to the racing store to get a new clutch for the gokart. Then up the hill and a hour and a half drive to the in-laws house. So although I am irritated right now I did a good job at keeping my cool.

So hung out with the mans family and listened to the stories. It's not like they all bother me its just the situation. As a matter of fact my sour face only came out once when I caught someone talking about me while I was in the room. As for the birthday boy is concerned I do not think it was too bad. But not the best. They definitely do not get him.

After all was said and done I think that we will really be reconsidering home school for mo. I heard it said that sometime kids who are talented have a hard time socializing. Also to all the know it all's we tried several things and they didn't work. But its Also like we aren't trying to find a solution with him. So I am now looking into homeschooling. I do wish we had the money to put him into an arts school. I believe this is where he would sore.
So up late again and wishing I could have gotten to sleep in. But because we were not here I didn't cook and I feel like I need a maid for tomorrow. All and all a pretty sunny day with a lot of driving and mlmm and her music too funny. Also the man was in a fairly good mood and is deciding to look at the positive...we only have him for eight more years. Sad but he was trying for funny. At least for today he is looking for positive.

On a good note I figured out the phone blog post thing. But I am not sure that typing with my thumbs is the answer either. Also h remember I am only happy when you are around. Thank you for all the wonderful wishes for mo's birthday and thank you for the prayers.

Decided to send save the date cards for next year!

As I sit in bed and type my blog in the dark on my phone I wonder why? Why are there moments in life that take our breath away followed by moments of blah... Tomorrow is Mo's birthday and although the birthday I plan will not be taking place everyone is willing to throw him a party. I know that my feelings right now are not rational. If you were to ask most men they would say they are crazy. But they are my crazy feelings. I feel like saying screw you to every one who couldn't make it to his party. I feel like my party wasn't good enough so since I can't throw a good party everyone wants to throw one for me. If they knew mo and the problems we face with him they would have come to his party and they would not have asked us to change his day. There is nothing like having your kid crying in your lap saying I wish I had friends. The anger that he has about this saddens me. I can not make friends for him and I can not make my family come to a party. But I can send out save the date cards for next year so they wont get confused on the date. So you are invited to mo's 11th birthday party next year memorial day weekend 2011.

Besides my feelings of disbelief I am not sure what we are doing tomorrow. I do not have anything planed and because of all the tears I want to do what he wants. To bad he is so expensive!

We finished one side of the rock garden. The man surprised me and flew mo's kite with him. Then took him to a car show leaving me with the girls and little ones. We watched a movie and they played outside. Made beer battered fish and salted fries for dinner. We watched another movie thank you H. Now I am gonna pray about tomorrow. I know if I go anywhere with this attitude it will be a crappy day.

Did I mention that tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a 10 year old.

allergic reaction and family night

Today has been one of those days which envolved mlmm getting in the shower with me and letting me know how "lucky" she was. To having a crying kid for an hour because of her ouchy.

Today I thought I'd be the cool mom and let Mlh and mlmm put on the temporary tattoo that Mlh got for his birthday. After putting one one mlmm and then putting one on her other hand mlh came in and I put two on his arms. All of a sudden mlmm started yelling get it off get it off. She was also crying and I thought this was some weird mlmm thing and she was faking or it was just her realizing that it wasnt comming off. Then I looked at her arm and got a wash cloth and started whiping it off. When it was off I looked at this red mark and realized we had a problem. By the time I got off the other one this one was worse than the first. It was all red and you could see the imprint of where the tattoo was. So she cried herself to sleep and took an hour nap on my lap. When she woke up it looked the same and I gave her some allergy medicine. I guess I will see how it looks in the morning.

The man came home followed by the kids and I decided to order pizza for diner. We haven't had that at our house for a long time. So ordered pizza and thought it would be awesome to hook up the computer to the TV and watch a movie... so 30 minutes later and we were watching a movie and besides mo non stop talking durning the movie it went great. Mlh fell asleep within the first 20 minutes followed by mlmm. Next to go were the girls(mod and her best friend). Mo stayed up until the end and we were all in bed by 9:45. This is deffently something I will be doing again.

Besides the occasional crying fit and little messes...today was good. Also Sil called and the doctor never read her xray...her foot is broken in two places.

"I want peace and quiet!"

Today has been a crazy day with lots of cleaning and laundry. The man returned tonight and I needed to get the house cleaned for him and our friends that were dropping off their daughter for the weekend. So, I woke up and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned! After getting the house done and helping SIL get her stuff cleaned up and ready for her to leave tonight I sat down and got a movie started for the kids so I could try this shower thing again. It worked this time.

When I got out of the shower and all ready for the man to return I heard a funny conversation between mlmm and SIL. So SIL said " I want a million dollars" then mlmm said "I want a million bucks" then back to SIL to say " I want a million dollars" again mlmm said getting louder "I want a million bucks" after a couple more times of this I think that mlh had enough because he chimed in with "you know what I want... I want peace and quiet!" I find this so funny because first this is a great line from the movie What about Bob and also because The man says this to the kids all the time when he is watching TV. So here is my four year old becoming the man by saying I want peace and quiet during his TV show. It amazes me daily to see how much my boys are like the man at times and other times its like a stranger has invaded there little bodies.

So after a some what of a peaceful evening our friends showed up after getting lost and backing up on a on ramp. We made coffee on off they went back to Bakersfield. I am up late and wish I was in bed sleeping. When they left the sound woke up the little ones and now I am waiting for there little eyes to go to sleep. Watched a sad movie and now I am grateful. Grateful that I know what real peace is and although I am waiting for everyone around me to also find it I wouldn't trade my crap for other peoples crap! Thank you God for my suffering! So for tonight I will be happy and grateful for my crazy dysfunctional family!

Lube vs. My Little Mess Maker!

Today has been a great do not much hang out with the little ones kind of day! I did not have anything planned today so I watched a movie with SIL since she is still gimped up on my couch. Watching a movie with a two and four year old involves pushing stop 100 times so a hour and a half movie takes over three but that is okay I understood the point and the kids had a good time not going any where today. I think!

Today is violin and guitar practice so before I went I thought I would clean up around the house a little and take a shower. So, I got in the shower and after only being in there a couple of minutes I heard mlmm in the bathroom. After peeking my head out the shower door and asking her what she was doing she disappeared. Which I new was a bad sign. Mlh was out watching TV on the couch with SIL so I thought maybe that is where she is. A couple of minutes later here she was standing in my bathroom saying "I'm Lucky all Lucky!, Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!" Then she said "I'm getting in the shower too." So off with the clothes and in the shower she went. I cleaned her up and got out. Got dressed and put our clothes in the laundry room. It wasn't until I came back in the room and started to look at some stuff on the floor that made me start to really look for the yucky mess she got in to. Then to my surprise I found it and man oh man I wish i had a picture of my face.

The man does air conditioning for a company and he goes from job site to job site. One of the jobs he works for manufactures Lube. They are trying a new line and gave him samples. Ha the story is getting funny right. Well we got them and I didn't think too much of them and stuck them in the top drawer of my night stand and they have sat for months now. Well she took the tops two of them and tried to use them like lotion (which she is obsessed with... the lotion I mean). So, on the floor next to my bed is a hugh pile of lube, a towel and her shirt. Next time she says she id Lucky! ( Yucky!) I better get out of the shower and see what she has gotten into.

The rest of the evening so far has been great. Fell asleep on the couch and SIL wake me up to send me to bed but before I go I am writing this great FUNNY day down. Looks like rain out side!

Choking in the thorns!

After driving to one way and then another only to be sent back to the first place today we still do not know if the foot is broken but she has a awesome looking shoe on her foot and we were told they would call us tonight but that didn't happen so maybe tomorrow. I will say this at least the nurse was funny she asked SIL to chase her and told us that the shoe that she has was in high demand and we should not tell anyone where we got it.

While I was out with SIL and her foot before we had to return home to pick up the kids I stopped off at the walmart to get milk and while I was there they had Justin Beiber posters for a dollar so I bought one for MOD and put it on her door. You should have heard the scream. After her hugs and kisses she asked if I could get one of Shark Boy!(Taylor Lautner) Ha I still am laughing about this one. If you do not know what I am talking about then you must not have kids or watch Twilight. So I will have to start looking for a poster of him. I think it is so funny how my 8 year old wants posters in her room. I sometimes feel like I am back in high school!

So the majority of my day was sitting in the doctors office and then this afternoon I didn't have to have everything in order so we got homework done. Dinner which was leftovers and we watched Deadliest Catch! Or as my kids call it crabs! We had very little fighting with mo and it seamed to go pretty smoothly. After last night it was a breath of fresh air. After I put the kids to sleep I watched some TV with SIL and then she went to bed. I am totally GAGA for GLEE, will be sad when the season is over.

Sitting up tonight I was reminded of what was said in my TV program and it got me thinking.... Seeds fall in thorns and the seeds grow, the thorn chokes the plant order for it to bear fruit. You are choking in the thorns. This was like one of those light bulb moments in cartoons! It made me realize that this is where I am in my life I am choking in the thorns. This also gives me the strength to hold on because I know that soon I will bearing fruit.

To all my friends who left me such wonderful messages yesterday... Thank you! Oh did you see I have FOUR followers!!!
