Mom called last night and this morning I woke up and got the kids out the door to go to mom's for Sunday breakfast on Tuesday! I love it and so did the kids. We got there just as she was finishing and it was great! After we ate I did the dishes and Uncle went shopping. After getting the kids school stuff all faxed over I sat and just hung out with mom. When she was done ( she had work to do) she asked me to play Wii with her and I am glad we did. We had a great time. I did realize that she loves to win and will not tell you all her secrets just to make sure she can still kick your but. I guess she played this game a lot and even beat it. It was so fun and I haven't laughed like that in a long time. Way too funny! Her house was like a refrigerator and I miss it. So here we were all bundled up in blankets and playing wii. I beat her once and then she pounced and killed me. H and her are so alike when it comes to this. We had a great time and I can't wait to play again.
After playing Wii I was all ready to go and then mlmm was taking her time and giving my mom all these kisses she really loves my mom. She was even telling my mom how she loved her more than me and my mom and her have this little secret it goes something like this...you can only keep my kisses you have to wipe off everyone's kisses but mine. So then mlmm told her that they are best friends and to not tell her mom even though I was sitting next to them. Then my mom told her she could keep my kisses too and then she said she didn't like my kisses. Not realizing the mlh was listening to all this he piped in and said "Mom I like your kisses better!" I now that my mom didn't like this but I LOVED it! I melted my heart! Since she has mlmm I will take all I can get from mlh! Because I know that they would chose here over me any day! "She has junk food and lets us eat in bed!" this is what mod tells me!
I slowly got the kids in the car and rushed home to get the kids to practice on time. If I had my way I would have stayed there all evening and night too! I love being with my mom and doing nothing it is great that the kids were good and let us play! The man came home and informed me that he thinks he is allergic to the sutures and that he is going to take them out even if are not ready seeing how they are dissolvable ones. I guess we will only see if he is and if the swelling goes down. I can not believe how crazy the last week and a half have been all because I said it was his turn! This is what he has told me the last two weeks. I can not wait until he is healed!

"Hey you're eating that, mom put oysters in there!"
I got up this morning and decided that today was going to be the day! I got the kids up and packed a bunch of fruit and some jam and even wrote a card. then we walked to the house and i sent mo over the fence and he knocked on the door. At first I thought this was a waste of time and then he knocked again and then she came to the door. I am so glad she did. We talked and we laughed and she even gave me the confidence I needed today. I talked to her about her choice in home schooling and signing the kids up for Awanas. She would even be mod's teacher. I didn't even think mod wanted to go until we got home. She is so excited to start school and wants to go next Wednesday. I can not believe how positive she is and how she really confirmed some things for me.
When we got back to the house mo and I decided to help the man out and weed eat the grass and pick up the front yard. I didn't think it was going to be a hard thing until I got out there and then I really had a stupid moment. The weed eater died and mo thought he could start it again but he flooded it. So we decided to get in the car and drag the property. We did that for a little while and then mlmm wanted out so we got out and ate lunch. The man came home shortly after we ate and he started the weed eater again for me and then he left for practice. When he was gone the weed eater died and i thought well he started it so easy it has to be a easy thing. Well I was totally wrong... I tried and tried and then called him and then tried and tried until pop out went my shoulder. I can not believe it... I am so sore and it hurts so bad. I will not be weed eating again for him. But at least the dragging I can do and I did it pretty well!
I made dinner tonight and when the man came home with the kids tonight mo rushed in and started in... that kid ate so much right before he was done the man came in and said hey you're eating that...mom put oysters in there! I thought he was going to puke up his entire dinner. He stopped eating put his food up and went and got into the shower. Poor boy I really think he is going to be a target for a while. I even explained that I didn't put that in the food but he wasn't even going to try to finish eating it.
While sitting here and typing this out I have decided that the next thing that has to happen in my life is I need to find a church not just keep trying new ones. All though I have decided that I could be a great church consultant (someone who goes to different churches and tells them where they can improve). I do feel like this is my calling because I have been every where and I have tried good churches and great churches big sucky churches and small good churches that are dieing. I really need to just jump in and get involved some where. Right now I feel like I am the person that is wadding in to the pool with 100 kids trying not to get my hair wet. With every step in it keeps getting harder and harder. I think I need to stop wadding get out and just jump in. When its hot outside and when there are all those kids once you do you feel so much better.
Things I learned today...my neighbor has a better garden than I...I think I can do this home school thing...and I have decided to become a church consultant! Anyone looking to fix their church? You should hire me!

Smoked Oysters, Anchovies and lots of puking!!!
Woke up with a hang over headache with out drinking a thing. I think it was because of the long day in the sun with little water and the long drive there and back. I also think it has to do with the lack of sleep do to getting up to drink a ton of water and then getting up to the restroom! Yeah! Thankfully the man helped me out by watching the kids while I slept in until 8:30. I am so glad that I have a great man. Mom called and asked us to come over but due to the headache and the mans swollen parts we stayed home and watched TV and hang out with the kids.
I can not believe how cold it is it feels like a cold winter is coming and we haven't even started to cut wood. I think we are going to be in trouble with having to buy propane and with fires and wood. I guess we will only see how cold and how much snow we get. It definitely feels like football season already. Between the cold and now games on Saturday I am sure I will be hating football by the time the Superbowl comes around. I can not get over the fact that today's high was only 69.
The man decided to go to the market and get some brauts for him and the kids because of the Steeler game this evening and too the little kids with him. When they returned the came with some gifts. He bought the kids some ice cream and the brauts and then he with a grim showed me what he got in the bag and then said well if they can eat fish eyes then they can try these. So off to the kitchen he went and called the kids in and I wish we had a video camera because man oh man. First he showed them what he got then he started in and i thought i was going to puke just by the smell. I mean YUCK! He had smoked oysters and anchovies. My brave daughter went first and she is defiantly her dads kid. Mod ate both and continued to eat. Mo got suckered into it and put a small bite of the oysters in and then ran to the sliding door to puke outside. At this time mlh can already put in a mouth full and seeing mo puke made him run and he started puking. At this time I am sitting on the couch laughing so hard. I can not even breath. Then everything calms down so I thought when mo runs into the kitchen and starts puking again. He is totally pissed off at this time because i am laughing so hard at him. Then he tells us what happened and why he is puking. I sent him to the bathroom to take a shower. While in the shower he started yelling for the man ( I guess he needed his tooth brush and tooth paste). I must tell you that the reason why he started puking again was because he snorted in and i guess a piece of the oyster he threw up earlier ended up in his mouth and that was all it took. While all this was going on mlmm came in and said YUCK you guys smell and left the kitchen. way too smart. So lesson for the day mo doesn't like canned oysters and mlh will puke when seeing someone puke and I was smart for sitting in the living room and laughing.
After a lazy day I am sitting in bed and I am so full of doubt and I just wish I could have someone tell me what to do. I know that I really should home school the kids but I am not sure if that is the thing i should do. i also am not sure if I can do it. i love mo but, I just do not know if i can do this. I wish I had a direct line to a decision maker that gave me all the answers. Maybe I should get an eight ball. Ha! that would be so funny. I think the kids would freak! they would think I was crazy! I could just see it know eight ball should we go out today?
Well I guess tomorrow i am going to meet the neighbor. I am going to finally do it wish me luck!

Look mom its snowing outside!
I woke up this morning with out a sign of the man being off all week he needed to get somethings done this morning. He was out the door before I even saw a light on. This never happens I always see him before he leaves. When I finally got up I heard mlh and mlmm looking out the sliding glass door with that look of excitement on their faces and then mlh starting screaming "Look mom its snowing outside!" I haven't seen them so excited in a long time. Then I walked over to the slider and saw the fog and man it did look like it was about to snow. I think that the kids really like the winter up here. Unfortunately it was just fog and mist and a nice 40 degrees outside. I do find this weird because it is supposed to be the hottest month in the year and it looks like winter outside.
Got the rest of the kids up and we picked up the house and got everyone ready to head out the door to go to Ventura for some football. I think because my growing up years did not include sports i think this whole football thing is totally crazy! So for the rest of the year it will be football on Saturday in the heat and then football on Sunday! Marring a sports man has its up and downs and I am not sure where I stand. Got a call from the man saying that he would be able to go with us so out the door we went and I decided to pack lunches which was a total smart thing! ( I even feed another mom's kids who did not know it was a all day thing!)
We got to Ventura and because our team is completely unorganized we were the first ones there and looked like fools waiting for everyone else to show up late. they gave mo the wrong size pants and thankfully another mom called the coach and complained so the team mom brought him the right size ( and her kid the right size). So off went the small ( so small I couldn't even get them over his pads and laced up) and on went the new I thought he was going to freak out changing in front of everyone. If only he knew how many times mod has had to do that. So three 40 minute games later and I am a tired, tired mom. for the most part the little ones did okay. Mod kept them entertained and thankfully there were other kids. Mlmm played dead and laid all over the stands and I just kept thinking this is going to be a long season. I think next weekend will be better, a real game and cheerleaders! At least I hope so anyways!
When we got in the car I realized that I completely failed as a mom today poor mlmm is so sunburned and man does her little noise look bad. The drive home was great all the kids rested and mlmm and mlh slept the man put some ice on and I cranked the radio to keep me awake. I defiantly need to get a team shirt so I can fit in with all the other moms. I was the only one with out one. I will have to succumb to this kind of peer pressure I guess. Ha! When we got home my little ones decided to put on a cheer performance and I think that mlh singing R-O-W A DY! is going to get really old even if it is totally cute (mlmm says C- colts! and throws her arms on a high V) I really need a video camera!
So we got home after stopping off to get some trees from a craigslist posting. I got over 20 yearlings for $45. I cannot believe it I hope they all survive the winter. I can not wait to plant them next weekend. When we got home because of being so tired I just wanted the kids to all go to sleep. I really need sleep, not sure if its because of being sunburned or the lack of water today but I am drained! Hopefully a great day tomorrow!

The world is a much happier place when you figure out if you are the pin or the cushion...
The man is still not up to par and now has a new something going on down there. I can not believe this is happening. Really can not believe it. What bad luck! I attempted to clean the house and it is not going like I planed. But that seems to be the status around here. Maybe I need to stop planning. So for the day all I can say is...The world is a much happier place when you figure out if you are the pin or the cushion....I think this sums it up for me today! I know that we all have choices but I think some people really are the pin and some are the cushion and I wish to not be either. I can not even talk about my day because I am having one of those UGGGGH days and maybe tomorrow will be better. Football in beautiful Ventura! I can not wait!

Hanging out with the my sleeping man.
I can't even talk about my day today because I feel so selfish I feel like just saying a couple of words like I am sorry. Sorry I talked you into having this done. I really am! I hope you get to go back to work soon. No you will not always look like that. It's not that bad! I will get you ice, just sleep, just give it time. I am sorry your work doesn't understand. I love you! I think this is how most of my sentences went today.
For the majority of the day we hung out and watched the man sleep. The kids kept to there selves and I am glad they did. I knew that yesterday was to good to be true. He for the most part has been a grouchy bear and is totally mad that he is still laying around and wants to be at work. He is very uncomfortable and I really do feel sorry for him. I know that after this weekend it is going to be all good. I just know it.
I took the kids to practice and made dinner and the whole day was all about the man! Please continue to pray for him!

Surgery and an audition!
Woke up at the crack of dawn so we could get out the door. Uncle showed up and got the kids to take them to my moms house. I am glad he did I am not sure if we would have made it on time seeing how we needed to drive to Encino in 7 am traffic. ( I do wish mom would have come though mlh wasn't having any part of it and didn't want to go, if mom would have come he would have been in that car with out a tear). Mod went with us and I am glad she did. She kept me company and she really knows how to keep the man smiling. I think that she is becoming a pro. I am so proud! Well we got there right on time and seeing how none of us ate I thought we would have been able to get some food but I was wrong. Good thing I brought some crackers. So I bought mod a soda and I got a coffee in a can and we ate wheat thins and waited by the surgery exit and ate. It was fun to see everyone leaving all drugged up.
They were changing out a suit in the building and they had put down plastic wrap on the floor and mod walked up and down the hallway. It was like her very own bubble wrap hallway. She would walk slow and then fast and then do the running man in place. I just sat and laughed and laughed. In between all this we practiced her lines. The doctor was late and that is when i thought he better slow down and not rush this. I almost tripped him he was running into the surgery suit so fast. Before I knew it the doctor was out and let me know the same thing ice...ice...ice!
The man came out about an hour later and gave me this get in the car look. So I went and got the car mod went and got him some juice and off we were. After exiting the parking lot I asked him what was that all about and then he proceeded to tell me he was completely messed up and he just wanted out of there. ( the last time he had surgery he couldn't wake up and it took him like 6 hours to wake up, this time the doctor listened to him and he lightly sedated him. He also told me that while the were waiting for the doctor to arrive the nurse asked him if we took pictures. I think this was a weird thing to say, but we did take pictures just in case something else went wrong and they will be deleted as soon as he heals. Or as soon as he scares all his friends from ever having this done!
Mod did okay at the audition (I love it when she auditions for film they are always on time and oh so wonderful) I think they wanted younger but she did have the right look! I really wish she would have nailed it but oh well. Maybe with some new pictures things will get better. On the way home we stopped off and went to lunch. i really love Mexican food and so does the man. My little white girl wanted french fries that she didn't eat because she ended up eating part of my food. I swear she is so blond sometimes. When we got home Uncle brought the kids home and I took the kids to practice made dinner and then picked them up again and I really wish he felt better I do love how he takes them to all there practices. I can not believe how well he is doing tonight. I guess we will see tomorrow.
On a funny note I guess I could keep the pictures and use them for blackmail! HA
