Rain Rain Go Away

I know that some parts of our Country are under severe drought. But if this god blessed rain doesn't stop I am going to go insane. I should be thankful. But there are starving people in under developed third world countries but that doesn't make me want to eat icky vegetables either. It has done nothing but pour for days. I am stuck in the house with the bored kids. Not a good combination. I have a raging sinus issue, a aversion to driving in the rain, and I have no motivation since its dark all day. I must be one of those weirdo weather sensitive mood people. My dog doesn't even want to leave the bed. I don't blame him I am just jealous! So I am going to go home next week. I haven't been home since July. I really miss my friends. The flip side of that is that I hate how everyone has moved on with their life. Did I really think they would just stop and wait for me? Well hell yeah I did! I am that full of myself. It just sucks to talk to them and they talk about people I don't know. I used to know everyone they knew. It sucks cause I had to move here, and I don't really want to move back. I just want them. If they would just come to their senses and walk away from their lives and families like I did and be here with me things would be much better. Excuse me while I go get a bigger chair cause I am so full of myself I am too big for this one.

Another Holiday

So we survived another holiday. It really has gotten to me how much I miss having friends and family. I miss having that closeness. I have all the toys put up and the tree has been taken down and put away. I am ready to get this season over with. Mark ended up getting called into work and I had to take Kyle to Crestview on Christmas Day. Nothing like a Waffle House Christmas dinner, as if I was rednecky enough! Ryan was uber excited. He loves Waffle House. So today I went back on a diet. I like to feel like I got a head start on everyone else. I dont have New Years plans so why not. So I am tired of the hair already. Time to call the hair master and make some changes. I am thinking highlights?? Maybe go back blond? Who knows what craziness I will come up with this time. Other than that I have been on a cleaning and decluttering spree. Starting the new year off on the right foot. Yeah right! Actually I am bored and I don't want to leave the house so why not clean it. That way when the kids go back to school I don't have much do to. Speaking of school I am ready for it go back. I am ready to get back into a routine. Its hard for me to do that when they are home. Taylor wants to sleep all day. Plus I am getting tired of playing! LOL We have played with all the new toys so much I am about played out. When Kyle gets back we are going to continue our Rock Band World Tour. I cant wait till Kyle and Morgan are both home. We are so going to beat this game!! So thats about all thats going on in Christy World, time to call the hair master!

The Grinch

Today was the day for the Grinch, aka my husband to Christmas shop. This requires a trip to best buy. That is the only place the Grinch will shop. So he goes alone with the boys to best buy. Taylor and I go to Belk's, then we go over to Sams just wasting time. So he calls. I meet him back at best buy thinking he is done. Nope, he wants me to help him shop. Ok... So off we go back into best buy. Everyone should always shop the weekend before Christmas. To get to the point of the story the Grinch ponyed up this year for real. That's right I got a Cannon Rebel. My dream camera. Oh mama is a happy camper. The Grinch did good this year despite his hatred of the holidays. Then we had to mattress shop. The Grinch was not happy with our love nest. So we got new mattresses. Are we the only people who go through them like underwear? I blame it on the kids jumping on it and not anything we do on it. ;) It was a pretty good day today. Although I did get body slammed on the concrete but it was a accident. I am sore as hell. We were supposed to go out to dinner on the company but we didn't really want to get a sitter. So we got outback to go tonight. Its the niftiest thing, you order online and drive up and its ready and they bring it to your car. I love outback. Well we have one more day till Christmas Eve. The kids are so excited to open gifts. I am excited to see them open them. I will be taking lots of pics with my new toy.

Holiday Baking

Here are some pics of my holiday baking the other day. The first are my peanut butter thumbprints. Second are some white chocolate covered pretzels. Then is my mess, lol, not sure why the dawn is there? I think I hadn't put it up from my trip to the store.

So much going on

I don't even know where to began. That's why I haven't written. I start and then just don't know where to start. We are finally done with school till Jan. I have had a stomach virus 3 times in 3 weeks. Not sure how that happens but trust me folks it does and it sucks. The bright side to this is I can't stop losing weight. Its all good till I get too skinny, and I have a while before that becomes a issue. I am still loving the new hair. It rocks. I am all ready for Christmas. I am so excited about it. The presents are taking over my living room. We are now trying to plan another trip. We already have the race in Feb. We ended up getting quite a bit of money for the kids for Christmas, and I could not think of a single thing they didn't already get. So we decided to go on a trip with the money. YAH GRANDPARENTS!! My grandparents rock trust me. Although sometimes they like to call me while they are on there way here unannounced. Yeah fun times. But at least they come and see me, and at least they have sense enough to realize that they have no clue what to get their great grand kids, they were trying like hell to figure it out when I was a kid, at this point the admit defeat and give cash. So other than the very upsetting incident of Christy vs the school office, its all good. We will not elaborate on this incident, most of you have heard me bitching and I am tired of hearing myself whine about it. So anyway life is good as always. We are very blessed. I do worry about taxes but I can't change the outcome so I am just going to take it as it comes. Hopefully it will come out in my favor. Hmm what else has been going on? I can't really think of anything right now. There is so much going on with my everyday life. I have been busy baking up a storm, cleaning and playing with the kids. I will post some baking pics here in a few. Oh here is the hair pic. I tried my best to take it so you could see it but its hard when I am doing it myself.

5:30 pm

At 5:30 pm today I was done. Believe it or not totally done. House was clean, clothes washed and put away. We had ate dinner and I had the dishes going in the dishwasher. The world will be ending tonight, I hope you prayed.

I was a housewife when being a housewife wasn't cool.

I got to thinking the other day about this. I have always wanted to be a housewife. I didn't go to college. I didn't have a career. Its want I always wanted. It seems these days that its so cool to be a housewife or a sahm. So many women choose to stay home. They give up careers and stay home with their children, or just stay home period. I know women have stayed home for years and I am not the first by no means. I just felt like giving myself a little credit for doing the cool thing when it wasn't so cool. When my friends were going to college and starting their careers, I was reading what to expecting while you are expecting and doing laundry. Its sorta nice to be the trendy one. Yep that's me trendy!
