Girl's Shopping Trip!

Ugh, the first time I've had to wake to an alarm in almost a month!! But it was for a good cause!! It was our Girl's Shopping trip today!! I got up and showered and got dressed and then hung out on the deck till Laura picked me up at about 7:45AM! Then it was off to Grove City, it was kind of a long drive and was made a tad worse since there were 3 of us in the back seat, thank god Heidi and Cindy are both skinny minis!!! We got there at about 9:30AM and we literally walked and shopped till 8PM, only sitting down to eat lunch at about 1PM!! I was exhausted and my feet/legs ached!! The only thing that kept me going was all the texts that were passed back and forth between me and Chrissy and me and T!!! Hahaha!! T was doing all the "work" to get the puppy!! And Chrissy was as anxious as me wondering if we got her!!! Finally at about 10 minutes to 4PM T texted and said "we own a dog"!!! Yay!!! While shopping I finally bought my first Vera Bradley bag and my first Coach bag!! We finally left the outlets at 8PM and headed to the Iron Bridge for dinner! We had to wait about 30 minutes but we spent it at the bar drinking pina colda martinis!! YUMMY!! We finally got done eating and left at about 10PM! We got home LATE!!! It was straight to bed for me I was WHOOPED!!

We spent a bunch of time hanging out today!

T took all the kids out to lunch at Chinese and I stayed home and worked on Gman's album!

He brought me home a banana peanut butter fluffer nutter and bread sticks from Papa John's for lunch!! The kids swam and played outside! I scrapped all day on Gman's album!! Then daddy grilled out burgers and brawts for dinner and they were fabulous!!! Then after dinner he took S outside and showed her how to mow the grass, and she did it all by herself!!! Then before you know it, it was time to put the boys to bed and then I headed there soon after to read and then drift off to dream land!!

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!!

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!

Saturday!

So today started out with daddy and I lazing in bed till like 11AM!! It was so great!!! The kids were so good and just played and watched TV and didn't even really bother us! We got up and had some brunch/lunch and then messed around the house some - daddy cleaning a bit and messing out in both barns - cleaning them out and putting a long on the red one. Then I went for a walk at the track and when I got home we headed out for Greensburg! 

We hit Texas Roadhouse first and even though it was like 4:30PM we had to wait for a little more then 30 minutes! But the dinner was good and even though it was $88 bucks it was worth it! Then the kids and I hit Target and daddy took the trash/junk in the back of his truck to his Greensburg store to put in the dumpster! Then the kids and I hit JoAnn's and then we headed home! We didn't get home till after 8PM and we let the kids stay up for about an hour and then it was beddy bye!!! I watched the movie The Sixth Sense and daddy fell asleep out on the couch! I went to bed at about 11PM!

Margarita Time!

Took CJ to school and I did a bit of grocery shopping. Came home and put the stuff away and then headed back to Zion to spy on CJ a bit! Then daddy texted me and invited us to lunch since he was still in town. We met him at Ruby Tuesday! After we ate CJ and I came home and I made some muffins for the red & black games tomorrow but I didn't buy enough packs so once S gets home I run to Bilo and pick up two more packs and come home and make them. Daddy got home at about 6:30PM and took me into town and dropped me off at Cozemuls - I was meeting Laura, Shari, Krista and Cindy for a girl's night out! We spent two hours talking and drinking margaritas!! Laura brought me home and then it was bed time for me!!

Last day (well for this week) of momma flying solo!

Daddy comes home today! So I was up just before 6 and got the girl's lunches packed and then headed back to bed! I tossed and turned forever and then finally just got up at about 7:20AM. I just had to get the boys fed and Little man ready for school - Gman was off because the local preschools were coming in today. So I got him out the door at 8:30AM and then talked with daddy on the phone for a few minutes - he was already on his was to Lower Burrell (where he had to work for a few days). 

Then I headed downstairs to exercise. Once done I hustled the boys out the door and we made a few stops before heading to McDonald's for lunch. Then it was off to KCAC where we watched the fire department give one of the circus elephants a bath!! It was raining on us but we didn't care it was so fun and neat! Then we came home and messed around! The girls came home and then at about 3:30PM - DADDY pulled it!!! Hooray!!! We were all so excited because we missed him so much!!! Then Little man came home and he was very upset! A boy (a very not nice boy) in his class was super mean to him and pinched/grabbed him in the private area. I was IRATE!!! His teacher emailed me and then we talked on the phone for a bit and she let me know that she was going to pursue this further! 

Then daddy took us out to dinner to Dingbats and then we hit Wal Mart for a few things for lunches the next day! Then it was home and straight to bed for the boys! Then daddy went out and fix the air in my van and then it was time for bed!!!

Happy Easter!

The kids got up and found their Easter baskets and promptly ate all the candy! They all loved their clothing they got and only S needed something different! So we headed out to Eat N Park for lunch! It was the best Easter dinner ever because no one needed to cook it! Then we hit Wal Mart to get S a new dress and to pick up ham and rolls for dinner! Then we stopped at Getty Heights Park for a little bit so the kids could play! Then it was home and to clean just a bit and then enjoy dinner!

Sunday funday

Let's see, today was such a great day to sleep in! Once daddy and I decided to roll out of bed at about 9AM, we headed out the door for a little breakfast date - we had the new breakfast at Taco Bell! It was delicious!! Then we ran to Bilo and picked up pork loins for dinner! We kind of just hung around the house, putzing around till lunch and then we took the kids to Mickey's. The we headed to Wal Mart because daddy need a few things for his up coming trip this week and then we went back through the drive through of Mickey's and got the kids .49 cent ice cream cones! Once home we CLEANED!!! We deep cleaned the boys room, the kitchen and the mudroom. I swept and mopped all the hardwood floors and S steam mopped the kitchen floor. Daddy cleaned the laundry room and I dusted the living room. Then it was dinner. Playing outside for a few minutes with the kids and then daddy was on bath duty while I ran back to Wal Mart to get him deodorant and advil. Then I stopped at the track and walked for about 25 minutes! Now I'm home and I'm gonna finish my water and then go read!

Olive garden

Totally normal morning, I got CJ dropped off at school and then headed to the track and walked for like 35 minutes! Ugh, I am so out of shape!! Then once I picked him up we headed to Greensburg to met daddy at Olive Garden for lunch! Finally using my birthday gift card! 

Then CJ and I ran to Michael's to see if they had anything new/good! I walked out with some 4x6 grid cards, that's it! Then we headed home. Daddy came home pretty soon after.

Thirsty Thursday

Woke up and plowed through our normal Thursday morning routine! Then once I got everyone off to school I ran CJ into town for school, he cried of course - even before we even went into school, just sitting in the van he was bawling! I pushed him up the stairs and left. Then I ran to Wal Mart and picked up some nail polish remover and some new nail polish. Then it was home to color my hair and shower real quick before I ran back into town to pick CJ up. T was working in town today till just 11:30AM so we picked him up and headed to Eat N Park for lunch! 

Then it was home to hang out for the rest of the day! T started feeling bad so he actually took a bit of a nap. I worked on my project life! Once T got up he fixed Turkey Kielbasa and Perogies for dinner! Then it was time to shower everyone and get them in bed!

Hello, Saturday!

Daddy was up and out the door early today because he had a meeting in LB. I left most of the kids with S while Gman and I went out shopping for Jocelynn's birthday present! We saw Heidi at Dollar Tree and she let us know Ashley (Gman's teacher) was in labor! When dad got home, I took Gman to his party and dropped him off and then headed back home to pick everyone else up, we had lunch at Ponda-gross-a....oh I mean Pondarosa and it freaking SUCKED!!! I think I ate 2 bits of my salad, a dinner roll with fake butter and 12 pieces of banana bread (the only decent thing in the whole place)!!! I vow never to go back there again, ugh, totally should not have let the kids talk me into going!! Then we hit Petco and let the kids look at all the animals and then back to Jocelynn's house to pick Gman up, just as we got there Heidi got the text that Ashley had the baby, a little boy! The rest of the day was spent just lounging around!!!

It's a Sunday!

There was much lazying about this morning, it was nice!! But we finally got up and I grabbed a shower and we headed out to breakfast at Eat N Park!! 

Woo hoo - I just love their banana foster!! Then it was straight home. T needed to look at his car because it was making "a sound" and he needed to see if he could find it and fix it - he couldn't so that meant he was taking my van to Ohio! Boo!! I worked on getting old laundry folded and put away. I also laid around a lot and browsed Pinterest! T left at about 2:30PM. I made the kids chicken nuggets and tater tots for diner - some of them bitched - imagine that!! Then I spent the rest of the evening editing photos for project life and then surfing the web! It's now 9:30PM and I think I'm gonna go climb in bed and read till I can't keep my eyes open any longer!!!

What a day!!

For some reason I am so tired right now - I have been yawning since like 4PM and I can't stop!!! So anyways..........today started off with T leaving at like 3AM to head to Ohio for pizza, so when my alarm went off at 6AM it was just me!! I got the girl's lunches pack and they fed themselves. I headed back to bed till my 2nd alarm and wouldn't you know it, all 3 boys were still sound asleep!! I hated to do it, but I had to go in an wake them up! Well the 2 bigger boys anyways - they needed to eat and get ready, but I left CJ and I think he slept till almost 8AM!!! So 8:30AM rolls around and we head out to get on the bus. Then I stayed downstairs for a bit and straightened up. Then I got some laundry started and then I finally finished up my week 10 project life!! The rest of the day was spent doing who knows what - messing around I guess!!! Hahaha!! CJ was particularly whiny all morning so I finally set him up at the kitchen table with some painting supplies I bought for him and he loved it and ended up painting like 3 pictures!! 

It rained off and on all day till about 2PM. The kids started coming home at 3PM and by 5PM it was snowing!!1 Ugh!! The wind was wiping so bad!! I really didn't feel like cooking so I piled everyone in the van and I got the kid's McDonald's and I got Taco Bell!! We came home and I sat around editing photos. Then as I showered the boys I prep lunches for tomorrow - made pudding, cut up pears and also made the mac & cheese (because I HATE doing that in the morning!!!), of course I mentioned to S that now we'll probable have a two hour delay!!! Then it was 8PM and time to get the rugrats in bed! Then I called T, he was on his way home and needed to talk to me about some stuff that was discussed with him today - his company wants him to move to Canton, OH and run 7 Marco's!!! He gave them some things that need to happen for us to even consider that and we will probably know something in a few weeks! Then I came back in my office and finished up some edits on CJ's old photos and now I'm gonna head into my bed because as I said I am so tired!!! T said he'd probably be home about 10:30PM, but I just don't think I can stay up that late - maybe I'll try and read but I don't think it's going to help!! Hahaha!!

Sunday Shopping!

I got up and got a menu and grocery list made and then I left the house at about 9:45PM to go shopping. While I was gone the rest of the family cleaned. I hit Aldi's and Wal Mart and then I booked it home so that I could get there before 11:30AM because we were going out to lunch! I got home and we put the cold/frozen stuff away and then we headed out! We quickly decided on Pizza Hut and once we were there we all ordered what we wanted and enjoyed our lunch, even though CJ whined through the whole thing!!! Once we were done we hit Wal Mart again and got a bunch of "stuff" including a new TV stand! Then we hit Michael's because their cubes were on for 40% off and I had a 25% off total purchase coupon - 3 cubes for $50 bucks!! Then it was time to head home! The rest of the afternoon daddy put our TV stand together and moved all that crap around and I sat in my office and put my cubes together! Then we just had left over lunches for dinner! After dinner I finally got around to making the banana bread I've been meaning to make for a week!! Ugh, it was a good thing I finally got it done my bananas were almost too ripe for it!! 

At 7PM we started getting the kids showered and then by 8PM they were ready for bed!! I laid in bed for a while and read, but I was soon pretty tired and I hit the hay by 10PM!

Weekend!

R was still at Alyssa's this morning so we left S at home to wait for her and them T and I took the three boys out to breakfast! We ate at Eat and Park. Then we headed to Wal Mart and then it was time to head home. We got there at just a little after 10AM and R had just been dropped. The rest of the day we just hung out. The kids playing/fighting and T and I in our bedroom catching up on The Walking Dead, we got all caught up and can now start watching it "live" on Sunday nights! S had a party to go to tonight so she started getting ready and then her and I left at about 6:50PM to take her. Then I came home and we put the boys to bed and just hung out till I needed to go back and pick her up at 11PM. I left the house at about 10:45PM and I should have left just a bit earlier because I caught a train! Boo!! 

Thankfully it didn't last too long and I was only about 3 to 4 minutes "late" picking her up! Once I got her we came home and I went straight to bed! T is still suffering with the kidney stone so he was kind of grouchy all day and in lot so of pain!

So tired!!!

Ugh, I so did not want to get out of bed today!!! C ended up in our bed again this morning, thankfully he fell right to sleep and I didn't have to sponge him! Eventually the kids were up and being rowdy and loud and I got out of bed! I ate some leftover pizza for breakfast and then daddy was like "let's head out"! We went to Wal Mart, but left after only a few minutes because there wasn't anything we wanted. Then we headed over to Staples and daddy went in and bought a new computer. Then we hit the mall to eat at Dingbats but it was kind of a disaster! Poor C was just miserable and just got sicker and sicker as we were there. He wouldn't eat and he hardly drank. He wanted yogurt but they didn't serve it so I went into Kmart and all they had was some with fruit on the bottom and he about barfed - then he just whined the whole time - so we just got our bill and left! He came home and got in my bed and went right to sleep. 

Then I headed out the door to Michael's and bought some scrap stuff and also 2 baskets for the bench/coffee table I bought last week and that daddy finally put together yesterday! They match perfectly and fit perfectly!! Once home I putzed around and then at about 5PM, daddy went out and got us Thai food for dinner. Then after dinner I headed to my bedroom to watch The Walking Dead on netflix - I'm almost done with Season 3, but the battery went dead on the fire so I'm charging and sitting here writing this! Now I'm going to hit submit and watch the rest of the show and then hit the hay!!!

Another day to just wake up slowly,

today was a little earlier then a normal Sunday since it seemed like all the boys were up and loud at like 6AM!! Tim and I lazed till about 8:30AM and then he needed to get up and get ready for work!! Boo!! He had to go work in Somerset today because he had to work pizza on Friday and he didn't get down there and his boss is coming there on Monday! So once I was up and functioning I worked on putting the stuff from yesterday's shopping excursion away and working on Little man's valentine's! Then at about noon I decided I didn't want to make lunch so I told the kids to get dressed, I wanted to head out earlier but no one wanted to go with me so this way I didn't give them a choice!! We headed to Eat N Park and the roads were terrible, so slick! We waited like 45 minutes for our food and it was just - blah!! I mean the kids were good and what not but we all just wanted to eat!! Then we headed to Wal Mart and I got some new yoga pants and some new sports bras. I got some groceries for lunched this week! Once we left the weather was even worse and I had a tough time getting out of the parking lot, once we were on the roads it was only like one lane, but at least the lane was semi clear! We made a quick stop at JoAnn's and then headed home! I spent the rest of the afternoon sorting sequins and finishing up those damn valentines! Finally they are done and now all 3 boys are done!! 

At about 7:15PM I was griping at Gman to get in the shower and he was whining and belly aching and just being a crab (like he had been all day - his stomach hurt, his throat hurt, his nose was running, he was coughing, he was sneezing, he didn't eat dinner) and as I was hustling him in there I check him for fever and he was burning up - 101.3 fever!! No wonder he was a crab all day!! So no school for him tomorrow and I'm sure we will be heading to the doctors!! Now Tim got home at 7:30PM and went out to snow blow the driveway, he's in the room now working on some work and I'm gonna hit publish and head that way too!!

Such a happy day today!!

First off we didn't have to wake up to an alarm, then as we were laying in bed I made T get his phone and check the bank account to see if out tax return went in and IT DID!!! So we gave the boys oatmeal, grabbed quick showers and headed out the door to enjoy our day!! First we stop at Mickey's to get the kids a snack and get us food. Then we headed to Greensburg! We hit the mall and as we were walking in S noticed that T's pants had a big rip in them!! Hahahaha!! So after the bathroom break we headed to JC Penny's to get him some new pants! Then we just walked all around the top floor, I got some new tennis shoes, I got some new candles and then we went back to the food court to eat lunch. The 3 boys got Diary Queen and the rest of us got Chinese, it was disgusting!!! I think I ate like 4 bites and throw the rest out! After lunch we headed to the downstairs of the mall. The girls got new shoes and we went into the toy store and Old Navy! Once we were tired of their we left and I went to Michael's and got some scrap goodies and Tim headed to this store he loved called "Cash In Culture" and got some old video games. Then we surprised the kids by taking them to see The Lego Movie! 

It was so so good and we all loved it very much!  The theater was super packed and we ended up sitting almost clear at the top because of the number of seats we needed! The kids enjoyed the kid's popcorn pack and I just had water and some sweet tarts! It was so funny and we can't wait to add it to our collection! Then it was off to JoAnn's and Target and then to try and find somewhere to eat! I wanted Texas Roadhouse so bad but the wait was 45 min to an hour and we just didn't want to wait in there for that long with the boys - well we should have just waited - we spent the next 45 minutes driving around and stopping and asking every where what the wait was and they were all an hour - so we ended up at crappy McDonalds!! Boo!!! So we ate and then piled back in the van for the hour ride home, both little boys fell asleep and slept the whole way!! So we got home and got all 3 boys in bed and it was nice to sit and relax! I did a little online shopping and then I headed to my bed to hit the hay - I was one exhausted girl!!!

GNO!!

So nice to lay around in bed this morning!! I love lazy non rushed days!!! Once we did get up I grabbed a quick shower and we went out to Eat N Park for breakfast! I had banana foster and it was delicious!! Everyone else got the breakfast bar. Then we headed to Wal Mart to get some milk and for Gman to spend his gift card from grandma Jackie. He bought a 3DS game. Then we headed home!! I got out all the stuff to make my veggie pizzas and once that was done I headed to my room to take a little nap, I in fact fell asleep and slept till like 3PM!! 

Hahaha!! It was nice, but I had trouble "waking up"!! So I jumped in the shower and washed up a bit for my girl's night out!!! I dressed and then straightened my hair. Then T took me in town and dropped me off at The Artist Hand! It was such a fun night!! Eating, drinking wine and painting!! 

We were all laughing and joking and being silly! It was awesome!!! We were there from 5:30PM to 8PM. Then T came and picked me up and we headed to Mickey's to get him something to eat then home and put the boys to bed!! Now I'm writing this and once I hit publish I'm headed to bed!!!
