Romeo, Romeo Where For Art Thou.....

Well, the date wasn't like that!!!

my shirt wasn't cut that low and he wasn't wearing tights!! (I think, or hope anyway)

It was fun but more like an outing instead of a date. Since we went with the old babysitter and her hubby. I did realize how much I have been missing by not going out ever with friends or otherwise. It was fun to actually get to sit down at a restaurant and have a meal without having to threaten little boys to sit down and behave. I, for once, didn't feel like I had to be on guard or was walking on egg shells. We talked, laughed and messed with each others cell phones. Then there was the bashing of the people in the restaurant that weren't keeping their children under control or paying any attention to them for that matter. It was good to laugh. I do have guilt because I left them with AJ, but I think they had fun. I hope so anyway.

I was the only one at the table without alcohol and it didn't bother any of them. Which was cool, I don't give into peer pressure so my not drinking usually pisses off whom ever I am with. The teen stayed with the little boys for 2 hours while we ate and then we all came back to my house (the heard of teens immediately vacated) and the adults watched "Blood Diamond".

Well part of it anyway. It was late and they left around 1130 pm.

Because the old baby sitter was there and the two other guys, the little boys didn't really do the whole "are you gonna marry my mom" thing. Thank goodness. Alec is on a "I want a sister" kick and I can just see him asking some guy if he will marry his mom so he can have a little sister.

5 year olds are so wonderful.

I have guilt about him paying for dinner. I have guilt with anyone paying for stuff for me or the boys. I know one must work hard for their money and I just hate for their hard work to be wasted on me. So I told him that next time I will buy. I don't know what else to do, it doesn't seem fair that the guy always buys.

This was the only date I have ever had where I didn't get a kiss.

I must be getting old or losing my touch or something.

Anyway, the Bunny was good to the boys. But no candy, they got sidewalk chalk and bubbles.

oh, and this is Alec's new bathtub toy....

Every time she hears water running in the bathtub, she finds a way to get in there. I now have to put her outside while Alec is taking a bath. When he is done I let her in and she jumps into the bathtub and plays with the wet tub. Silly puppy.

How was your Bunny Day????

I TRIMMED MY BUSH

Yes, Folks it's true...and in some spots more than 4"!!

But why PeeBugg, you ask....Let me tell you why....

While I was taking this

to get groomed.....

ThisBit this
And there was blood every where!!! But she is fine now!!

Why would that cause my bush to be trimmed??? and more than 4" in some spots...you ask...

Well, this picture should explain it all (don't look if you're not up to it)

I TRIMMED MY BUSH

I HAVE RETURNED!!!!

I HAVE JUST HAD THE BEST,

I MEAN VERY BEST,

VALENTINE'S DAY EVER....

Where to start......

Due to semi-icky weather, two very talented contractors were free for a few days for inside jobs. So YEAH!!!! I am getting the hideous front bathroom redone!!!! Here is the so far...

Ripped out the 70's toilet and way too big for the bathroom sink......

Are we in Arkansas????

And I don't care how good of a planter the toilet would be.......

IT'S NOT STAYING THERE!!

The bottom part of the sink vanity....black window's egg sacks....eeewwww

oh and water damage

Merlin is chewing on the old caulking in the tub....I honestly don't know how they got the tub out, but they did.

Now for the ultimately cool part.......but explanation first. Why I, in the past, disliked Valentine's day is not because I might be alone--but because of the past methhead memories that revolve around most holidays--Valentine's Day is just a little more outstanding.

One of the contractors is a guy that I have a HUGE HUGE, did I say HUGE, crush on--so it was really really, I mean really, fun to stand outside the bathroom and watch him. (I think the other one was in there with him....but not real sure.)

Anyway, the boys got to meet him and I pretty much got booted out of the picture. Alec just adores him and even waited outside the bathroom for him. They watched cartoonnetwork, talked, read books, played catch with the football in the house, sneaked fruit from the platter I was making for Ashton for his Valentine's Day party. Then when Ashton got back from karate---he had two shadows. I have never seen those two boys happier.......it brought tears to my eyes (just like now) to see them having so much fun and me not having to worry.

Here is a picture of him

This is a picture of the candy bowl creature that he and Alec made. Alec had to put bunnie ears for the picture. It's play dough, the play dough lids for what Alec called the "pimples" I think he meant pupils and then different colored play dough and a plastic knife for the mouth.

I hope everyone had a great V-Day,

I know I'm still smiling!!!

I HAVE RETURNED!!!!

What a Freakin' Week

I've been a bad blogger......I've also been a busy bugg...

It all started last Monday.....biker chick threw a fit at work because someone answered her "direct line" which she called her "personal line" HELLO!!!! It's a work phone.....nothing personal about it. Anyway she made a huge drama scene in front of her boss then went on a 2.5 hour "walk". Then she clocked out for lunch and took about a 2 hour lunch. Upon her return, her boss sent her home for 2 days without pay. Then she did the crying thing. Harley chicks everywhere should be ashamed of her behavior.

Anyway, Thursday she came in and turned in her resignation. She spent like 45 minutes in the president's office doing the crying, whining BS stuff and then came down to get her stuff. And our redneck HR guy (aka her boss) let her clean out her own desk....And she took about $300.00 worth of company stuff.

Then the previous post "bead nose" thing happened.



Even though work is way more happy and I actually don't dread going there, it's a lot more work on me. We are just finishing up remodeling our office and I got the great project of organizing the office supplies that biker chick used to be in charge with. Let me tell you, we could supply every person in the US with a pen, pencil and ink jet ink. CHEESE AND RICE!!!

But the extra work is way worth the happy atmosphere.

I was so tired on Friday night, couldn't wait to get to sleep...yet I didn't sleep at all and this is why......

Yes, beasties took over my bed around mid-night and I slept none. But the morning brought this.....

About 2" of snow. Basketball games were cancelled.

The teen took the little boys sledding and no one got hurt!!! I was shocked.

My mother is being overly controlling and tried to demand that I tell her everywhere I go and what I will be doing. Needless to say, her demands have not been met. I do talk to her, but I told her that I have my own house for a reason and it's so I will have my own life. She still isn't very pleased with me, but she ate the dinner I took over Tuesday night.

Do to this creature....

Ashton has decided to either be a NBA player or a fry cook!! What diversity!!

However, the most wonderful and spirit lifting words I am dwelling on

"loving, learning and living"

have kept me going.

I am striving to get by every body's place tonight....so don't give up on me or blog friends.

How's YOUR week going?

What a Freakin' Week

NOSE BEAD

I'm working away at work and at 2:15 pm the phone rings. It is the nurse at the boys school. Today is early out and they had been out for about 30 minutes and she said she had Alec in her office with his teacher from "latch key" (after school program). Alec was trying to be cool and stuck a bead up his nose. She said she could see it with a flash light but it was so far up there she was afraid to attempt to get it out. I am trying to hold in my laughter. She was relieved I was laughing and not yelling. Anyway I head that way to get him and we went to immediate care.

So....as we are driving to the doctor I ask him "What were you doing?"

"Well, I was trying to do a magic trick. I put it up there once and it fell out so the next time I stuck it way up there so it wouldn't fall out. I made the bead disappear. But I can't make it reappear, I don't know how. Megan liked my trick"

We get to immediate care and sign in and wait about 45 minutes, Alec is actually being good and playing. We get called back to go to a room and we get the "minor surgery" room and it takes everything in me not to freak out. He is bouncing all over that room waiting for the doctor. Finally he said "It feels like it's gonna fall out" So I have him look up and I can actually see the bead so I have him blow his nose and out it pops just as the doctor walks in. She laughs and checks him out just to be sure.

We head home and for dinner we have.......STAB FOOD!!!!

Chicken, green beans, piorgies from Schwans all eaten with wooden k-bob sticks--NO SILVERWARE ALLOWED.

and for the games last Saturday, they don't keep score till they get to 5th grade but for those who counted Alec's team lost by one basket and Ashton's team lost the score was 22-12. But they had a blast.

How is your week so far???

GAME DAY PICTURES

There is only one of Ashton because it's kinda hard to take action pictures when you are the coach. I was a sideliner during Alec's game!!

Another Friday Night at Home

Not totally alone, I have the little boys and a mountain of laundry that is almost as tall as I am

(the teen finally cleaned up his room)

*****

First off.....slick answered an age old question of "What women want" and he didn't even use porn or batteried operated devices.....click HERE

*******

Received the first garnished child support check from methhead. $78.00 woo-hoo!!! I'm not trying to seem ungrateful, but we have been separated since 2002 and the divorce was final in March, 2004 (yeah the lawyer loved me). He paid $300.00 in May of 2003 and then nothing since. . okay...enough bitching about the loser I married...

*****

I'm on the teens computer for this post cause I haven't set up my laptop yet and I felt the urge to blog!! I check my e-mail and the bank and then I start looking for the check picture and I, of course, have to save it to the hard drive to post it. Being the mom that I am....I had to look at his pictures.

One of Alec in the teens hat...very dougie if I do say so myself. AND I DO!!!

The Burger King Crown.....

That was taken in our old front yard!!! No wonder the neighbors looked at us weird!!

One of his myspace girlfriends took a picture of him and did this. I think it's cool!!!

Okay...I have invaded his privacy to a point....but oh well....all of the above pictures of him are on his myspace anyway.

Our first basketball games are tomorrow. I will post pictures after Ashton's game which starts at 4:00pm Alec's game is at 8:30 am--so no sleeping in for us tomorrow.

HAPPY WEEKEND !!! ANY PLANS??

After thought

This is the only time my daddy smiled over the holiday...

My eyes have been filled with tears for the last 3 days.

My brother has now seen how it is here, and he understands. The one cool thing between us is that we really don't have to talk about things when we are together...WE JUST KNOW..

His wife still doesn't have it all understood but I am sure he will explain it to

her when they get home.

I've come to the understanding, that it's not anger I feel towards my brother, it's jealousy and the overwhelming feeling of not fitting in. It's not his fault my parents are happier when he is around and it's not mine either--it's just the way things are and I need to suck it up and just accept it. My place is to take care of them and his place is to bring them joy.

Either way, we are family

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

We are having Thanksgiving dinner at my parents with my brother (visit going way better than I expect...so far). But since I have a new house and a new stove, I cooked a turkey at OUR house as well. I was going to cook more, but the move is kicking my butt--so just turkey.

Ashton stuffing his first bird

The "Big Ham" and a turkey

Alec getting in on the action...

In the new oven.....

POKE IT WITH A FORK....IT'S DUN

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and makes lots of great memories this year...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!
