Ohio again!!

T was up early and out the door because he had to go to Ohio this morning for a Marco's meeting - such a waste of gas!!! He then had to go to his actually "job" in Lower Burrell!  The girls fought all morning and I wanted to just CROWN them!! Ugh, they are so witchy sometimes!!! The kids did get in the pool for a bit after lunch! Scarlett was a pill today and had like 7 accidents in the house - major suckage!! I finally left the house after dinner - I just couldn't take it anymore!! I went to Dollar Tree and picked up some dog toys. Went to JoAnn's but didn't buy anything. Went to TJ Maxx and got like 3 new roller stamps!! Then to Micheal's were I got an album and some Project Life Themed cards on clearance. 

Then to the wine store to use my gift card from Laura and then finally Wal Mart and then home!!! Daddy got home fairly early - 7:30ish and it was a great rest of the night to end the work week!!!

Scarlett "slept" through the night again!!!

Yay!!! I had set my alarm for 1AM and 3:30AM but she was sound asleep both times I woke up and it wasn't until my 6AM alarm that she was awake!! So I took her out and she went #1 and #2, such a good girl!!! Then we went back to bed for a bit and once we all started getting up and moving daddy made me breakfast before he left for work and then the kids and I just hung out all day! 

I worked on scrapping week 25 for project life. I made mac & cheese for lunch and then after that the kids went in the pool for a little bit while I stayed in the house and watched Scarlett! The kids didn't last very long though and soon they were playing with Scarlett outside!! It was just more hanging out all afternoon until it was finally time for me to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner! I did get a call from daddy about 2:30PM and he called to tell me he was in an accident!! Ugh!!! A car slammed on his brake and a van hit him and then daddy hit the van!!! No one called the cops but daddy gave out his insurance info. His truck had 2 dents in the front bumper now!! After dinner we took Scarlett outside and played with her till almost 8PM, daddy got home a little after 6:30PM and played outside with us too!! We finally let her off her lease and she did really good and was having so much fun chasing the kids and even me a little!! Then we came in and calmed the kids down, gave Gman a quick shower and watched a little TV. Then we put the boys to bed at 9PM and Tim and I and Scarlett went to bed at 10PM!!! I was whooped!!!

Sunday

Daddy was up and out the door early, he had to go to Ohio to work Marco's (BOO)! Still no swimming today because it still cool and windy! I washed some towels today and read a lot! The phone rang at about 4PM and R answers it, it's my Aunt Verna and she proceeded to tell me how much we are missed and how we should come over next weekend for the reunion and blah blahblah blah for like 30 minutes!! Ugh!!! I was so pissed!! She mentioned she saw/talked to dad at church and I don't know if he said something or what but ugh....just leave me the freak along!!! So I was in such a bad mood that I decided the kids and I needed to go to Mickey's for dinner !!! Hahaha!! Then it was home to just hang out till bed time!!

This morning started off normally,

the kids watching TV and me messing in my craft room! I called T at 9AM and got no answer. T finally called at 10AM to let me know he had just left Ohio - ugh - I was kind of annoyed!! Then he texted me at 11:30AM asking if we wanted to do a late lunch/early dinner in Greensburg - I said sure! So I fed the kid early and told them to get dresses - however he didn't want us to leave until like 2PM - so we had to hang out, then he called and told us to leave at like 1:30PM. So we left and met him at Texas Roadhouse - the food was so good that it was totally worth the $100 bucks we paid!!! 

Then we headed to Target to see if I could find any good scrappy stuff in the dollar spot - they had nothing! The kids each picked up something small though! We left Target and I went to JoAnn's, T sat with the kids in the van while I shopped! I got a ton of stuff for like $15 bucks!! Three packs of 3x4 cards and like 10 packs of alphas!! Everything was on sale or clearance!! The we came home - it was almost 6PM. The boys proceeded to eat their lunch left overs and then wanted to go into the pool, but we decided to hit the drive in instead and see Maleficent! We got there at 7PM and only had to wait about an hour and once we were settled we got everyone popcorn! 

The movie was pretty good and we got out of there at just after 11PM. Then it was home and we put everyone to bed and then went to bed ourselves!!

Friday, Friday!

This morning I woke earlyish for some reason- before 9AM. T is in Ohio so it's just me and the kids! Little man tried to make pancakes for the boys this morning - it's nice that he wanted to feed them but man did he make a HUGE mess!! Ugh!! We just kind of hung out till lunch and then after everyone ate we got in the pool! I floated for 2.5 hours and it was fabulous!! The sun was so hot and the water so cool!! The kids played in and out of the pool the whole time! Then after we got out we hung out in the house - watching TV and reading! After dinner the kitchen got cleaned and then we needed to run to Wal Mart to get milk and a few other things. Then I took the kids through Mickey's drive through and we got ice cream! Then it was home to hang some more till bed at 9PM. I laid in bed till almost midnight reading and then it was lights out for me!!

Day off for daddy!

Daddy's back is killing is that he stayed home from work today - well he went into Indiana for just about an hour for an interview but then we lazed around all day!!! It was yucky and gray (and cold) and the kids couldn't go out at all!! I scrapped most of the day and the kids played with T and watched TV most of the day! I grilled hot dogs for lunch and daddy grilled burgers for dinner and it was a pretty great day!!! The boys went to bed around 9PM and T and I soon followed! Me reading and him watching TV on his iPad!!

Saturday

It was so nice to wake up to T having a day off!!! We hung out this morning - T working on some of his laundry. I eventually jumped in the shower and so did T and then we left at noon to go on a lunch date. We went to Tres Amigos (Mexican place) and had some yummy food!! 

Then we hit Giant Eagle to get food for dinner. Once home we hung out and did lots of nothing - the weather was really crappy - cloudy and not warm at all!! Finally at about 3PM we decided to take the 3 boys for hair cuts! Then it was on to Wal Mart to get some laundry detergent for T and then he dropped me off at Michael's and I picked up some thin washi tape! Once we were home T started cooking dinner, the kids got in the pool and I worked on some scrapping. We ate and then I went back to scrapping and the kids went back to playing. Once the boys were in bed (like at 9:30PM) I got in bed and read and ate some ice cream and then it was off to dream land for me while T laid in bed and watched TV!

Hump Day!

Got up this morning and showered and got dressed, then CJ and I left to go to the library at 10:15am for story/craft time. Heidi and Chase showed up! We listened to a story and then make GAK, the librarian screwed CJ's up so we ended up just pitching it! Then the boys played for about an hour while Heidi and I just talked. Once out of the library I got a text from T and he was in town, I asked if he wanted to go to lunch with us and he said yes so Gman, CJ and I went home and picked up the other kids and we met T at McDonalds. 

Once we were done eating the kids and I went grocery shopping. Then we came home, put the groceries away quickly and got in the pool. I made grilled cheese and soup for dinner and T didn't get home till almost 8pm!!

I'm sleepy!!

Ugh, I totally didn't want to get out of bed today!! But I finally got up and started my laundry for the day. Then I messed around in my office for a while and finally sat down to make a menu and grocery list - but it was so nice and I wanted the kids to be able to swim that I didn't go shopping.

After lunch the kids all went outside and swam till we left for the library at 2:45PM. The girl's went to a teen reading program thing and made GAK and the boys and I hung out down stair!! Once back home the kids got back in the pool while I made rice krispy treats and pizza for dinner! Then we all ate out on the deck! I ran to Wal Mart at about 7PM to get milk, some pool chemicals and the stuff to make GAK at home. Once I got back the girls helped the boys make their very own GAK! The had a ball!!! Then it was a quick soak in the tub for Gman and then bed time for the boys at 9PM!!! It's now 20 till 10 and I'm headed into my air conditioned room to READ!! T is in Ohio just for the day so I have the bed all to myself - he'll be home tomorrow after a normal work day!

So cold today!

It finally stopped raining but the sun was still hiding and it was COLD!!! I did got outside for a bit and fix CJ's training wheels, then the boys rode their bikes for a bit! We facetimed with daddy for a bit, he went down to his parents to wash clothes and so we got to talk to him lots! He didn't have to go into work till like 2PM!! The kids and I just hung out most of the day not doing to much! Just as I was getting dinner ready Gman comes rushing in the house with blood just running from his hand! I got out of him that he ran his fingers across the metal slat part on the back of the air conditioners and it sliced his middle finger just to ribbons!!

I finally got it to stop bleeding and got some bandaids on it! I was thinking of taking the kids to the drive in, but that caused me to rethink that plan!! Which was a good thing the kids were exhausted and kind of cranky!! It was bed time at 9PM!!!

So we woke up to cloudy humid weather!

It sucked! S and I had to be in town for a 9:50AM dermatologist appointment - we waited almost 40 minutes to be seen by the physicians assistant for 10 minutes! Ugh!! Come home and we hung out for about an hour and then T decided we should go out to lunch! We hit Eat N Park and I got these cinnamon roll french toast and they weren't that good! I was sad!! 

Then we headed to Giant Eagle to get S's prescription and T dropped me off at Michael's - I got a gray ink pad because I thought it was on sale but it wasn't so I'm going to return it and I bought one off Amazon instead! Then we hit Wal Mart to get my tire fixed - but they refused so T bought a kit and fixed it himself in the parking lot! I got the three boys new swim shirts and both girls got new bathing suits. Then we headed home and the kids played in the pool for over an hour (the water is freezing - it's like 68 degrees!!!) and then we just has PB&J sandwiches for dinner! Tim finished his laundry and packed and then we headed to Bilo to get milk and then DQ were we all got blizzards! Then I came home and read, T left for Ohio and the kids watched TV till I put them (the boys) to bed at 9:30PM. Now the girls are watching TV in the living room and I'm gonna head to my bed and read my library book!

First day of summer break!

We tried to sleep in a bit today but the kids were up early! Daddy and I ran to Taco Bell and got breakfast. Once we were home we headed outside and did work. T got the old pool down. I weeded and weed eated. Once the pool was down we decided to empty our money jar and buy a new pool so T and I took the money to the coin star at walmart and we had $125 dollars! We bought the pool and then came home and put it up and then started to fill it. Then daddy mowed the grass.

Hump Day!

T was feeling terrible this morning so once we were done getting everyone ready and out the door he headed back to bed! CJ and I headed to EP to help Laura clean out and pack up the PTA stuff in A7! 

CJ found this fake flower in A7 and put it in my hair for me, then he took this photo so I could see it!! Hahaha!!

We were there till 11PM. Then Krista invited us to GH's for a playdate so we headed there! We played till 1PM. Then CJ and I headed to McDonald's for lunch! Once home I started filling out CJ's forms for pre-k (Mrs. Bradley had given them to me that morning at the school). S stayed after school because she had graduation practice and so we went to pick her up after the boys got off the bus. Once we got her I took the kids to Dunkin Donuts to get a treat!! 

Busy day in store today!

I was up and at them at 6AM to get the girl's lunches packed and then headed back to bed! Got up again when my alarm went off at 7:30AM. Finished getting the boys lunches packed and T got them on the bus! Then I cut up watermelon and then planted 2 of the planters for the Spring Sing today but I needed more flowers. I text Laura to see if I could barrow her wheeled cooler and she dropped it off for me. Then I showered and CJ and I headed out the door. Our first stop was the dollar tree to get some utensils. Then Wal Mart for flowers, ice, cups and water. Then we picked up T and we went for lunch at the Thai place! Then CJ and I rushed home to load the van with the stuff I needed for the sing and headed to EP! We were the only ones there and started getting stuff ready! Finally one of the other moms showed up and then Sarah showed up and we were rocking and rolling! We got it all set up and Jenn finally shows up. Then at about 1:50PM we let the parents start coming in. The sing started at 2PM and we had front row seats right in front of Gman! He did a fabulous job!! Once it was over we had snacks and then when ever one was gone I cleaned up! We finally left the school at 3:30PM. I came home and dropped CJ off and then returned Laura's cooler. Once everyone was home from school I told them that if they did a few jobs that I would take them to Mickey's for dinner! They did them (half assed) and so we went! 

Then we hit the mall so the girl's could buy a book (but they didn't) and then we hit Wal Mart to see if they had it (they didn't), but I picked up my photos. Then we stopped at Get Go so S could buy an Amazon gift card and then I took them to Mickey's drive through for ice cream cones and a hot fudge sundae for me! Then it was home where they watched TV and T came home a little after 8PM. He ate his taco bell and then put the boys to bed for me! Now I'm gonna go hit the hay because I am beat and I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Daddy left for Ohio and is going to be there all day through tomorrow! CJ wakes up and he still has a fever of 103.2! I drop S off at Memorial park around 9:30AM for a band performance and then I come home and start switching out the boys winter clothes for summer clothes and I start putting away all the laundry that has accumulated all week!! Picked S back up at 11:45AM and spent the rest of the day doing the clothes! Laura picked me up at about 7PM and we went to The Coney for drinks and to discuss PTA stuff!! We were out till a little after 9PM!!

Up and at 'em!

Alarm went off bright and early this morning at 6AM and I just wanted to cry!!! Ugh - I need summer vacation NOW!!! I got up and got lunched packed and then headed back to bed and was even more whiny when the alarm went off at 7:30AM!! In fact no one else got up so I laid back down and we didn't end up getting out of bed till almost 8AM and then we were rushed the whole time! Once the boys got off to school I headed down to exercise! T got ready (packed for Ohio) and then left. Once I was done I showered and ate a snack and then worked on my project life for a bit! CJ and I had lunch and then headed out the door to hit Wal Mart to pick up some stuff I forgot and to get the supplies to make Gman's snack. Then at 1:30PM we met Kristi, Laura and Tanja at the bank to open the new account for the new PTA! We were there till for over an hour! CJ was good though and we got it all taken care of! Then CJ and I grabbed drinks for Mickey's before we headed home! I got some laundry in and worked on my PL a bit more, then it was time to start getting dinner ready. I had R put the fries in the oven and then I grilled the hot dogs out on the grill. Then we ate and cleaned up just smidgen and then headed out the door! The girl's had practice at East Pike for the alumni vocal ensemble from 6 to 7:30PM. I had a PTA meeting at 6:30PM, the boys stayed with me and colored and played with playdoh. The meeting was over at 7:15PM and then we waited just a bit for the girls to be done and then we headed home! It was showers real quick for everyone and then I got the boys in bed! I made granola bars and then I made the dirt pudding for Gman's snack! But I used all the milk so once I got them in the fridge I had to run to Sheetz to get some - I hated leaving the kids! Then I came home and cut out flowers for the snack and now I'm writing this and them I'm gonna hit the hay!!

Awwww, finally a day that I didn't have to get up!!!

It was freaking glorious!! I lazed around in bed till almost 9:30AM. Got up and ate some oatmeal! Then went outside and watched T mow the grass some. 

Organized the mess on my desk a little bit. Then at noon we went to go out to lunch but Little man had been complaining that he didn't feel well so we took his temp - 102!!! Looks like I wasn't going to be going to lunch!! So I laid in bed and surfed my phone for a while and then at about 2PM I promptly fell asleep and took almost a 4 hour nap!! Woo Hoo!! T had gone out and brought Pizza Hut cheese stuffed pizza home for dinner so I got up and ate two small sliced and then went to the track and walked for almost an hour! It was so nice and relaxing!! Came home and laid around for just a bit - it was almost 8PM so I just relaxed with the boys a bit and then it was time to put them to bed! I had an ice cream sandwich and now I'm gonna finish this and go to bed!! It was a great relaxing day!!

It's Thursday!

So we were up and at them at 6AM this morning and we didn't head back to bed :-( T had to leave for Ohio by 6:30AM and I have so much going on in my life right now I need every spare minute - so I cleaned until the boys got up!! So once I got everyone fed and out the door, CJ and I headed to town to drop him at his school! Then I came back home and Jenn came over and we spent an hour chatting and filling goodie bags. Then I spent the next 45 minutes typing up some lists for the 3rd grade party that I needed to email to Mrs. Bradley and then the last 15 minutes before I left I hurriedly packed a lunch for CJ and I!! Went into town and got CJ and then we headed to Mack Park! We ate lunch with Laura, Chase, Elle, Joshua, Chrissy, Braden, Amy and Alicia - well Chase, Elle, Joshua and CJ ate - the other two went off to play. 

We were there till just after one and then we came home! I sat and typed up the form stating that school district does indeed acknowledge our new PTA and then I called the Administration office to see who I could get to sign it for me and notarize it! I got a quick answer and they were willing to fit me in so CJ and I headed up there! Then we went into East Pike to get some slips from the PTA box and then we came home! The boys got off the bus and then I had to run into the Jr High at 5PM to pick up R. I came home and made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and then me and the boys ran S to the high school for Madrigal's practice at 7PM. Came home and rushed Little man and Gman through their showers, got all 3 boys in their jammies and then back to the high school by 8PM to pick S up! Once home I sent the boys to potty and then put them straight to bed! Then I sat on my office floor watching Youtube videos and making paper plate "paddles" and blowing up (by mouth) 23 balloons for Balloon Badminton tomorrow!! Now I'm writing this and gonna hit the hay! I am whooped!! CJ and I have some running to do in the morning so I'm gonna turn in!!

What a LONG day!!!

I'm gonna be tried just recapping it again!! So today started bright and early at 5AM! I was up and showered and got lunched pack and the girls up! Then I got the boys up and got them all dressed and fed cereal and we were out the door by 6:28AM. I threatened the girls not to miss the bus and then I headed to Laura's to drop Little man off!! Then Gman, CJ and I were off to Pittsburgh! It was smooth sailing until we hit just past the Zoo exit and then there was so much traffic, but thankfully it was short in distance even though it was long in time!! But I had left in plenty of time so we still made it to the hospital with plenty of time to spare! We got an awesome parking place in the parking garage and then took the purple elevator to the 4th floor! We had to wait just a few minutes until we checked in and then we waited about 15 more minutes before he was called back! He had to p.e.e in a cup and then we waited about 15 minutes for the CNP (certified nurse practitioner) to come in and see us. 

We talked for a bit and discussed his "symptoms" and how long we had been dealing with them and then she did a physical examination of his mister p.e.e.pers and said that he has meatal stenosis. Basically his p.e.e hole is closed up but for a tiny little pin prick of a hole! So then we talked about how to fix it and there were 2 options - in office with local anesthetic and in the operating room with general anesthetic. Obviously I choose to try the office route first so we are going to get a call to set that up. Then we were done and we headed out - we were there for less them 3 hours. Then we got in the van and headed home, but after a few minutes of driving I decided to try and find the Hobby Lobby to see if I could find the Aqua core kit, so we followed the directions and found it, but no such luck - BOO!! So I bought something else and then back in the van we went and headed home! We got home right at lunch time! Once I got home the hospital scheduling lady had already called me so I called her back and we are going to the Dr.'s Monroeville Office on June 16th to have the procedure done! Then the boys and I just hung out till everyone else started coming home!! S made dinner and then I headed out to get a gift card at Dunking Donuts for Laura (for baby sitting Little man) and a tea from McDonald's before the 6:30PM PTA meeting when my phone rang and it was Jenn asking where I was, it was almost 6PM and the meeting was starting at 6PM!! ACK!!! So I rushed there and was only a few minutes late - it was the longest meeting ever - there was some much contention it was just UGH!!! I was elected president but one of the girl's that was elected vice president I really can't stand and the funny thing is she is my neighbor - she literally lives like 5 feet beside us! Once the meeting was over it was a whirlwind of signing stuff and getting information - my head was spinning!! Eek!! Then after we were done Laura, Kristi, Cindy and I headed to Brunzies for drinks and talking! We were there till 11PM and then I had to come home and make crock pot potato soup for the teacher's appreciation lunch the next day!! It was probably 12:30AM before I got into bed!!! I think T got home just before 8PM from Ohio.

Sunday

I went grocery shopping. Tim left for Ohio at about 2PM, didn't even wait till I got home to say good bye - dick! Took the kids to Dunkin Donuts for donuts and a coolatta for me!
