The end is near.

Five, count them, Five days of school left!! I am more excited than the kids. I can't wait. I can sleep late. I don't care if uniforms are clean. I don't have to worry about lunch money, science fair projects, or a million other things they always need all year long. I am so glad to have some freedom. Even if they are home all day driving me nuts. I am taking the alarm clock and putting it in the bottom of a drawer. This whole school year has been one thing after another. I am glad I survived my first year with the Alabama School System, for awhile there it looked like I wasn't going to. You would think moving from one state to another would not be like moving to another country. Maybe it's not, maybe it's only Alabama. In other news my husband is coming home for a visit! I am excited. I really miss him. It's hard all the time, but it seems hardest on the weekends when everyone else has plans with their hubby's and you are just sitting home alone thinking this sucks and I know it sucks for him. I got a little something, something planned for him when he gets home. *insert evil grin here* Let's just say Victoria's Secret had a hell of a sale and they have 3 day shipping. So that's pretty much my big news. Ryan got his stitches out and it looks great. He is all healed. He is going to have a scar but that's to be expected. I had a pampered chef party this weekend and imagine this I had compliments from everyone on my home decorating skills. My bathroom was a big hit. I am actually becoming a real honest to god housewife. I know I have been one for a long time, but I am becoming a typical one now. LOL I haven't helped worked on a truck or been covered in mud in at least 9 months. Not that I think that is something to be proud of. I really miss getting dirty and working on things, I just don't have the chance to do it. Anyway I am proud of my newly acquired decorating skills. I am off to watch a movie with Ryan. Peace out Homies!

Slumber Party

Taylor turned 10. Well technically she turns 10 on Mothers Day, but we had her party this weekend. I tried my best to bribe her with a party anywhere she wanted, Libby Lu, Sassafrass, anything. But no she wanted a slumber party. So I spent Friday night with 6 little girls. We had dancing by disco lights in the living room, pizza, ice cream sundaes, cake, chips, a bellyache, let balloons go and made wishes on them, and makeovers. We watched movies, drew outside with sidewalk chalk, and opened presents. We had alot of fun. I hope that she remembers this years from now. I am going to refrain from whining about how much work and how tired I was. Well other than that sentence, lol.

I dribble!

Yes I admit it. I dribble alcohol into my drinks. I went to a play date today and it was oh I don't know not even lunch time so I didn't want to get drunk. So I just dribbled a little into my cup. LOL I would say it wasn't a virgin but it had been to second base! I am such a lightweight. So it's good sometimes to drink before 5:00. It was nice today to get out and talk to another adult. I really do love me some shake shake, my friends back porch paradise for those of you who don't know the Queen. So my hubby is coming back home this week, I am inspired to cook. Since I haven't cooked since he was last here except for maybe twice, I figured it was time. Yeah that's right, I don't cook when he ain't home, vote for me for mom of the year, I am the one opening the lunchables boxes. I am excited to see my hubby. It's Taylor's birthday party. She is having a sleepover. I can't believe my baby is going to be 10! Where the hell did the time go? It seems like just yesterday that she was born. It's crazy how life ends up, all the things you thought you life was going to be and it ends up totally different but better than you ever could have imagined. Well I am off to do some stuff around the house, my big kids will be home any second and then it's referee time for the next few hours. C-ya!

Today was the greatest

Today was a blast. This morning I took 4 kids to get haircuts. That was not the fun part of my day. Then we went to Blu Rabbits. After that chaos I decided it was time for some retail therapy. So I took the boys to a friends and me and Tay spent the afternoon at the mall. We had a blast. We got pedicures and makeovers at the make up counters. I spent way too much money on makeup. We shopped for clothes. We literally shopped till we dropped. I got some good deals at the gap. Then we hit the disney store. We found a cell phone in the Dillards dressing room and did our good deed for the day and turned it in. We then went and ate at the Santa Fe Grill. It was so yummy. I am so going back next time I am in the mall. We had a really great time. It's so nice to spend time one on one with my kids. Tomorrow I am going to Florida. I have been sticking to my diet, and have lost almost 6 pounds already. I have really been doing very well. I am proud of myself. I will update with some pics when I get back from Florida. peace and chicken grease!!!!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

Catchy title huh? Well I started my diet today. I had to figure out what was going to work for me. I finally figured it out what do I really want. Well let me tell you its a new wedding ring and a coach purse. So I set myself some rewards for losing weight, with hubby's permission. For every 10 pounds I lose I get a treat of some kind. When I lose 25 pounds I am getting a coach purse, and when I get to my goal weight I am getting a new wedding ring. Nothing like a little bribery to get me going. I am committed to this. I didn't cheat all day and there is a hot pizza sitting on my kitchen table the boys talked me into. And I am in here drinking water and blogging. Yep that's right no pizza for me. I ate 4 hours ago and I ain't eating nothing else. I am just going to suck it up and stick to it. I am sure once I start seeing results I will be really motivated. Mainly I just want my purse and ring. LOL What a materialistic bitch I am. But hey whatever works for me right? At least I am doing something about being fat. I could have just stayed in denial its not just a river you know. Well anyway wish me luck, hopefully soon there will be alot less of me.

Clean Houses

Today I stayed home all day to clean. I cleaned for hours. My house sorta reflects this. Has anyone ever noticed that the more you clean the messier it looks. I cleaned out rooms and closets and I have bags of stuff for goodwill. I have done a million loads of laundry today and I still have to put it all up. It's the never ending laundry cycle at my house. It's like gremlins, remember that movie? Well someone is feeding my laundry food after midnight and getting it wet, cause it just multiplies and gets nastier. Tomorrow Mark is going back to Shreveport. It's hard with him back and forth. Well I have to cut this short because I have carpet to clean and kids to supervise. Kyle is cleaning out all his outgrown movies and toys, ha! We shall see if he really throws anything away, he is a total pack rat. C-ya! OMG I just have to add this, I just spellchecked and there were no misspellings found. Am I getting smarter? Hmm there is some food for thought. Finally recovering from my Mommy Mush Brain?
