" Go! Its green Woowhoo!"

Woke up this morning and the man was already gone to work! So sad he is working so hard so we can get out of debt. What a great husband! I am thankful for him and his willingness to allow me to stay home. I know I do not show my gratitude very often but I am thankful. So I got the kids up which wasn't hard because they heard where we were going. I was smart and didn't tell them that H and the kids weren't going to be there until we were on the way. So off we went and got our veggies and then off to moms for breakfast and swimming and fun.

When I got to moms she was making breakfast and it smelled so good. Ate breakfast and then sent the kids out to swim. Mom had told the kids that she made warranty and ethanol (this is a little joke! When I try to spell my nieces name on my phone it always auto corrects and makes it warranty and the same with my nephews name it becomes ethanol. So my new names will be these for my niece and nephew! Niece= warranty and nephew= ethanol! Too funny!!!!!) swim laps so they could win computer time or DS time or TV time. So 60 laps later for mo and 61 for mod she had to swim more she is so competitive later and they were in the house. Mlmm, mom and I went to my neighbors salon and she cut and toned moms hair. (I know that I could have done her hair but I am not in a salon and I know how nice it is to go, it is totally amazing!)I believe there is nothing like going to a salon to get your hair and nails done! It is like happiness in a can, a can of color...either color on your head or color on your nails. It makes ugly feel pretty and fat feel skinny! I love salons!!!

Then back to moms for some lazy time and she fixed my computer and I am so thankful she took the time to help me with all the parental controls and all the things I know nothing about. I am so grateful!!! thank you mom! I was nice to not do anything and just chill! I think it is exactly what I needed some down time. The kids watched a movie with my dad and uncle while we were at the salon and they were good. Yeah! I learned something funny about mlmm I guess she keeps taking things from moms house and says she is taking them instead of asking I find it funny but oh so bad. So we will be having the you cant take thing talk. I guess mlmm showed my mom her new thing she is doing. I also think this is funny! when ever we get to a stop light or slow down she always tries to tell me what color the light is then we say its red and when it becomes green she yells " Go! Its green Woowhoo!" I laugh and think it is so funny but I guess it could be annoying. But then I start thinking maybe I should have that same kind of excitement in life maybe I would be a better person!!! So its Woohoo! Its Green!!!

Got the kids fed and bathed the little ones so they could fall asleep in the car and I wouldn't have to wake them up when we got home. I worked for mlmm but not for mlh so the man stayed up late with the older kids and mlh and i went in my room and watched some TV. Mlh is sleeping and i am already missing my mom! Very busy week coming up! I am starting to get excited. Probably sleep at moms tomorrow so the kids can swim Monday morning before practice! yeah internet and lots of it! Will try to get my phone fixed on Monday!

Thank You Firefighters!!!!! You Rock!

This morning I woke up to the smell of fire at 3 am and I closed all the windows and then sat in bed and could not breath or sleep. I am not sure how everyone else slept in. So I went out side and I could see the fire right behind the mountain behind our house and then I decided to turn on the TV to see what was going on and then I was up watching TV and thinking man if the wind picks up we are in trouble. At about 5:30 the man got up and explained that the reason why I could smell fire is because the wind was still. So good for the fire fighters and according to the news the air assault will start a little after 6 am. So I sat in the house with all the smoke and kept thinking this could be really bad.

The kids woke up and I decided to lay down. I wish I could have slept instead of listening to the kids fight. I am really tired and I have so much to do. I have to get the house clean take the kids to VBS and have it all down before I pick them up at 12. Before going to VBS my hypochondriac let me know that he was sick and couldn't go to VBS! Ha this kid makes me crazy.So far this month he has had whopping couch, stomach virus, a cold, a rash, and of coarse he was dieing from all of these and none of them were true. I told him it was the last day and he was going to go no matter what. So off to VBS we went and mlh he makes me smile when I feel like everything is all crazy he always come to my side to tell me something so funny. While waiting in the car for the older kids to get in so I could take them to VBS he said "I am in the car all ready!" He is right he is also the only one ready to help. Even if his legs are broke. The only problem with him is you can't threaten to though his stuff away... He will do it for you.

On the way home from drooping the kids at VBS mlh and I saw like 15 fire trucks about two blocks away and my stomach just sank. I wasn't alarmed by the firefighter but I was by the sheriff cars. Mlh and I watched the fires crest the top of the mountain and then watched all the planes and I think he thought this was a great time.(to bad I do not have a video camera I think My nephew would have loved to see the planes. They vibrated the entire house it was like mini earthquakes. Mlh was so excited every time he saw the big one(the 747 I think that is what it is called. The one with the chemicals in it)he would yell with excitement "mom the fire!" But not me...I watch in fear! wondering if we were going to be in trouble. Why is it when your house is a mess you think I need to get this clean in case we have to leave in a hurry. I mean I do not think the firefighter are gonna care what your house looks like, and if it burns down it all looks like a mess anyway. But I am not sure what it was but after picking up the kids I could not stand to live in this mess any more. I cleaned the house and fought with the kids.

Then we watched the trucks leave and then the water trucks and then a bulldozer and I thought this is a good sign. Then the winds picked up and all I could do was pray for the firefighters and the planes! The man had to come home early do to a accident on the 5 and a fire on sierra highway. So here we are sitting and my house looks like crap. I know that the man works like crazy but I am so tired and just wish the kids would help and it seems like they only help when the man is around. The man and the kids watched the planes paint the top of the hills orange and I will admit it is awesome to see. Scary but oh so awesome!

Have you ever had one of those nights where you just flip out and you are not even sure why? Well I am sitting here all upset because that is what happened today and I am so sad. Sad that I flipped out and sad that I am not sure what set me off. All I know is I can not live in filth and I am to tired. I wish I knew what is wrong with me and being so tired. I had to cancel my appointment for today and move it until Wednesday and I just found out that, that will not work out either. So I will have to cancel that and with my doctor that means it will be September until I get in. AGGGGHHHHHH! I fell like today was just a joke!!!

This is a big thank you to all the firefighters that protected my house (and all the other houses) and kept that fire from coming down that hill. Thank you God for them!

Mom called I guess mlmm wanted to come home so thank you mom for keeping her one more night I am so grateful! If she would have come home so late I would have been up all night!

Fire Fire Fire!

Went to moms today after picking up the kids from VBS and drove to her house for lunch, hair, nails, and a little swimming. Finally got to see H and really talk to her it was nice. Then before I knew it, It was already four and I was gonna be late bringing the kids home for practice. while at moms Mo had a complete melt down and I am not sure if he is having a hard time with this whole rush here rush there...or if it is because he really is having a hard time with change...or if it is football. But what ever it is I am ready for him to stop having these episodes. I am way too tired.

So on the way home I passed one fire and thought man that is really close to the house. By the time I got home the man got a phone call saying that practice had been canceled and man I was bummed I could have stayed with my mom longer and avoided the crying and attitude that followed when I said get in the car. So there was another fire that was over the hill in the front of our house and that fire looked to me that it was almost out. The wind had picked up and our house smelled like smoke and there was ash falling like snow. Yuck! All I could do was pray and worry.

Before we went to bed we ate left overs and watched a movie and it was so nice to have the family home. Except mlmm she stayed home with mom to play with baby E. After the movie we went outside to water the non existing garden and that is when we saw that the winds have picked up and and that the smoke was gone. So yeah smoke is gone but not good that the winds had picked up! Opened up the windows and we sent the kids to bed. I am sitting in bed typing this on the laptop and wishing my internet was better. I also miss my phone I will have to get that thing fixed!!! It is a must. One day left of VBS and I am looking forward to Sunday so we can see the kids at church. So praying for the fire fighters and their safety!

"mom lets go outside and see what those nasty rabbits have eaten!" ... I do miss snow shack!

Woke up this morning and I am still so tired. I yelled at the kids which totally makes me mad at myself. I really just wanted to sleep in. I was up late last night with a stomach ache and heart burn which made me sit up and run to the bathroom. I hate having that happen it is so frustrating. I am not going to be able to eat spaghetti for a long long time again. I just wish mlmm would sleep. I need sleep!

Drove the kids to VBS and then drove the long drive (it is only long when I am tired) to moms. I forget how much the kids love to swim. Mlmm packed her bag before we even left and I made sure there was chonies in there. There is nothing like having your daughter pack her clothes and forgetting underwear. I did peek in the bag and she did an okay job for being only two she even packed her night times. I am so proud of her. She woke up and told me that she is staying at my moms and she wasn't taking no for an answer. She is too funny!

Got to moms and got to finally see H. Since my phone bit the dust and since we have bad timing I haven't been able to see or talk to her for almost two weeks. Way to long. So the kids went swimming even baby E got in the pool. She defiantly does not like the pool or swimming or my mom. Man I forgot how much we have missed out by not living in the same town. I have enjoyed seeing my niece and nephew everyday last week. Now I even get to see my baby E and I must say it is so nice I cant wait until they move here.

So I got mlh out of the pool and then made him lunch and drove to the church to pick up the kids. Got the kids and I guess I am still tired because I can not stand listening to them. I need Sleep!!!!! So I got to the house let out the dogs and then off to the neighbors to color hair. I only wish I could have gotten paid for it. I do miss doing nails, I miss the conversations, the friendships, and the noise. I love being home but there are some days I really miss talking to adults. So I talked to the neighbor and I still haven't talked to the church goer neighbor but soon!!! I loving hearing how people react and how they see life. Some people I think live in a big bubble!

Since the man was home early doing paper work I let the kids clean up there mess and after a short nap on the couch I woke the man up because his phone was ringing. He got the kids out the door on time for practice and then went by subway and brought mlh and I dinner. How awesome! No cooking for me! Yeah!!! Kids are at football and cheer and mlh and I water the garden and it looks like we will have some cauliflower and maybe we will have some new pumpkins grow. I am so hopeful for some new pumpkins and praying that the critters stay away!!! Before going outside to water the garden mlh said "mom lets go outside and see what those nasty rabbits have eaten!" After looking at the garden I have decided that the squirrels are the ones that are making the mess now and I am so not happy about it. I am angry that the fence we bought the one that said it would keep them out is a piece of junk and they lied. Stupid Lowes!! so I guess I will need to look at more options.

Still no phone and no internet. We will see how this week plays out. Mlh prayed over dinner tonight and prayed for our garden, pumpkins and for snow cones. I do miss snow shack! Mo said that his legs don't hurt so bad tonight and mod cheered for us tonight. she is way to cute! I believe that the shotgun will be coming out in a few short years. The man is still praying with her every night and I am very grateful that he is continuing it. I think this will help us in the years to come.

"Come on Rabbit Stew!!!"

Well today has been a great and busy day. I took the kids to VBS in my pj's so I could still clean house and because I am still so tired. Thankfully I did not see any one and did not have to get out of the car. I decided that today is gonna be a great day with or with out a phone! I am now using the kids phone that can only call like 5 phone numbers. I am still praying for a miracle with the phone. I do not want to send it in and I can not afford to get another one! Got home and started to clean but I still am so tired. I wish I could lay in bed!Picked the kids up from VBS and I am totally ready for some rest. Ha I have 4 kids!

"I shot that rabbit in the foot and it got away." this is what the man said to me today he has been trying for days to save our garden by shooting the rabbits and squirrels and crows and what ever he can. On Friday there was a dead rabbit on my steps that had been dead for a day or so. Yuck! I thought I was gonna be sick. It either came from the puppy or the cat that is trying to stay on our property. Then the man sat out side and said "Come on Rabbit Stew!!!" After shooting and yelling ( I guess he needs a new gun, bummer more money)and shooting some more he came in and said "Bummer no rabbit stew!" Ha if the man thinks I am making rabbit stew he is crazy!!! I do not care how easy they are to skin and I do not care if they taste like chicken. But the man is determined to catch me a bunny and to kill all those squirrels that are eating all my food. I went out tho the garden and we have no more pumpkins. We started with 5 and then we were down to one and now none. What a bummer my kids are totally praying for a miracle they really wanted to grow there own pumpkins this year. Well we can only hope.


So after the kids went to practice and then came home we had leftovers and watched wipe out!!! Then we sent the kids to bed. It is nice how tired they are they aren't even fighting with me. I think it is because of the practice and then I am making them get up early to go to VBS! Busy day tomorrow!!!

VBS, Football and Cheer!!! Oh My

This day has been a crazy upsetting and tiring day! I woke up the kids and got them ready for VBS. After signing them up my little ones cried all the way to the car they wanted to stay and play. So this is a good thing for us going to church! I think I need to just go and see how they do.

Then I drove to Palmdale got gas and then Starbucks. I am not sure why I keep getting Starbucks I think I need to go to you are a complete idiot school and maybe I will be able to learn that Starbucks and kids is not a good thing. Mlmm is always making the biggest messes. So we got to Walmart and then decided to spill chocolate milk all over my purse in my purse and all over the cart. Then she decided to spill mine all over the floor cart and mlh. So the only person who got to enjoy Starbucks was mlh. He drank his so fast. He drinks his fast so that no one else can drink it (and because mlmm keeps spilling them). So I made a mess for the workers to clean up and I from that point on was a piss off person. Did I mention that my phone now has a black screen and says something about boot and using a usb cable. So no incoming and no out going. no text and no internet. I have the crappiest luck with phones! so much for spending $300. I think I really need sleep. I am not sure what is wrong with me but I am so tried. I feel like I just cant get enough.

Got to the church just in time to pick up the kids and then drove then home made lunch and tried to make mod happy but I just can not seem to. She is also very emotional these days. I know that she needs more socializing and misses R so much. So after lunch it almost seemed to fly by and I needed to get the kids to practice. The man was still at work. So off we went and got there right before it was time and I am sure that this practice thing is gonna kill me so hopefully the man is gonna help. So after squeezing through a small hole in the fence which is hard to do when you are fat! I must say being thin has its advantages. if I would have seen me do this I probably would have laughed my butt off. So practice started and the man showed up. Since we only have one car I drove home and he got in the car and went home! I made dinner and you are not going to believe it I made spaghetti. We haven't had spaghetti since leaving my moms house. She had it like 2 times a week. So I made homemade sauce and man was it good. I even ate way too much. Unfortunately since the kids eat at moms still they weren't as impressed as I was. So when the kids got home they ate and went to bed. Hopefully I will wake up and not be tired.

Lazy Sunday!

I am almost to tired to blog. I woke up more tired than usual and I should have napped. Cleaned the house and wondered how this day could have gone any better. Sil left for home this evening after I cooked dinner and now I am sitting here trying to keep my eyes open. watched a movie with the kids today and for the most part just had a Lazy Sunday which was most needed. I can not believe how crazy tomorrow is gonna be and I am so excited. The kids are going to VBS tomorrow. The neighbor called and left me a message asking me if the kids are going to VBS and I jumped at the opportunity. I know that it is gonna be hard and tiring but oh so worth it. I also am thinking this could be a great opportunity for me to get to know her and picking her brain. we have decided to home school our oldest this year and i have no idea what I need to do. I know that she home schooled both her girls and i could use some guidance. Hey if any of you have done this home school thing please let me know your ideas.

While praying over dinner tonight mlh prayed for Super chef, H, and baby E! Then he said "I miss them so much God!"

I am praying for a great first day of VBS and for finally getting to fellowship. Also hoping to get all the things I need to get done in the short time I have tomorrow. I need to go to walmart for milk and stuff. I also need to get my stupid phone looked at! Sorry so short just too tired!!!
