Blargh!!!

Today was worse then yesterday!! Hahahaha!! I didn't get to go back to bed because I decided the kids needed pancakes for their lunches so by the time I got them made and cleaned up the boys were up and there was no sense in going back to bed!! 

The devil lunch!!! Hahaha!!

I got everyone off to school and then ran to Dollar Tree to pick up a few things and then to JoAnn's to get another pair of skeleton gloves (because I gave C's to G this morning because his hands were cold) and then I went and parked in front of the school I walked up to the post office and mailed my swap cards out and then back to the preschool to spy for about 45 minutes! 

The little boy on the right in the blue shirt is C's best friend. He talks non-stop about his, it's adorable!! He is always saying "I love B!! He's my best friend!!!" *heart melts*

Then I ran home for about 45 minutes and then back to pick up C!! Came home and we had lunch and then I spent the afternoon working on my Halloween mini books!!! We had cowboy casserole for dinner and then S needed dropped off at school at 6:30pm for county chorus practice!! Came home and messed around online while yelling at the kids, trying to bath them and having a disastrous facetime with hubby!! I was (and still am) in a terrible mood and he has to take everything personal!! Of course I'm in a terrible mood, I'm stuck in cold ass PA with whiny bratty fighting kids and he's in sunny Cancun where everything is free and he has to answer to NO ONE!!! Blah!!!!!!!!! Time like this makes me wish I had friends that could come over and help me or at least keep me company in my misery!!!! Blah...........enough!!! Ok, so I managed not to kill anyone before we left the house at 7:45PM to pick S up!! Then it was in the house and everyone straight to bed!!! Then I sat down to write this and now I'm going to grab a bag of mini reese piece pieces that I was going to bake with but instead I'm going to eat the entire bag while I lay in bed and read my book!!! Hahaha!!! Later!!!

Up and at 'em bright and early at 6AM!

Got the girls lunches packed (ham/cheese rolls, grapes, cheese crackers and trail mix) and then headed back to my warm cozy bed!! 

Once the boys were up we started the process all over again!! I got them on the bus and got C to his school! I came home and worked on a bit of laundry!! Bent down to get a sock that had fallen t the side of the washer and saw this giant spider!! Thank god it was already dead....if it were alive I might of had a heart attack!! 

Once I got C picked up I worked on my 30 Days of Thanks album all day since S didn't have band practice, I didn't have to leave the house!! 

Hello Monday!! You can suck it!!!

Hahaha!! Ok, it wasn't that bad of a day really!!! T and I were up early and got breakfast for the girls and their lunches packed (egg salad sammies, energy bites, baby oranges - the boys got hard boiled eggs, one waffle left over from breakfast w/syrup, energy bites, and baby oranges) and then headed back to our bed!! 

After we got the boys going and on the bus C and I headed out in the rain to Goodwill to try and find R some boots for her upcoming field trip. Daddy hung out at home till he had to go to Little man's school for lunch at 11AM. C and I scored boots and shoes for R and momma scored two pairs of pants at Goodwill. Then we headed to the library for story/craft time - it was the letters M and N today!! 
While we were there I got a text from daddy telling me to call him asap he had good news, well I couldn't wait to leave the library to call so I just called then - his boss demoted a DM and gave daddy back two of his stores that he had given her - Indiana and Butler and took his farthest store - Uniontown - away and gave it to someone else!! So not only did daddy get his "home" store back he got an extra putting him at an 8 store DM - there are only like 7 of them in the whole company!! Woo Hoo!!! So happy for him and so proud of him!!! Then C and I headed home to have lunch!!! I got busy putting dinner in the crockpot - Beef barley Soup - and making cheese crackers for tomorrow's lunches! Then S text at 3:30 - she was done early but I couldn't pick her up just then because I had stuff in the oven so we had to wait till we got Little man and Gman off the bus!! Once home I got the drop biscuit whipped up for dinner and then we ate!! After dinner the boys played outside for just a little bit (30 minutes maybe) and then it was time to start baths!! Then I started making the ham and cheese pinwheels for lunches, but my mixer was being an ass and wouldn't knead the dough!!! Boo!!! So I had to knead it old school - with my hands!!
I finally wrangled the boys into bed a little after 8 and got to work on the pumpkin muffins I promised Gman for his snack day tomorrow!!! 
When I was almost done with them daddy finally came rolling in t he door!! I finished up the muffins while I sipped a mug of hot chocolate and then finally made it into my bed around 8:45PM. I relaxed and read for awhile and then it was lights out for me!!!

Lazy Day!?!?!

Lunch today: Pizza crescents, carrots, pumpkin muffins and then I added fruit after I took this photo - kiwi!

Started the morning off with L saying "We are suppose to wear pink today!", ummmmm we own like zero things pink!!! So I racked my brain and racked my brain and came up with letting the boys wear a pink felt rose boutineer!! So I dug into my craft stash and turned a piece of pink felt into two boutineer with the help of a CD, a marker, a pair of scissors and a hot glue gun!!! Super mom to the rescue!!!

Wearing pink for Grandma Jackie!!

Then I decided the rest of today was going to be a lazy day and I swear I wasn't going to leave the house, then I got an email that said October 5th was world teacher day (tomorrow) and i decided I'd make up a small/simple goodie for L and G's teachers - I'd send it to school tomorrow with the boys.....until about an hour later when I realized tomorrow was Saturday - Crap!!! So I still wanted to do something so I browsed pinterest quickly and found a little saying you stick with a coffee gift card. So then I searched the silhouette store for a mug/coffee cup gift card holder cut file and I found one!! Cut that out quick with just some papers I had on hand and then C and I ran out to Dunkin Donuts to get $5 gift cards and a doughnut for our selves (I got two because just as we were checking out they brought out fresh pumpkin pie donuts!!! Yummy!!!). Stuck them in the cards, sealed them up and went to drop them off at the school!!! 

Love our teachers, they are THE best!!!

Then we finally kind of did get to be lazy!! I spent the afternoon working on laundry and finishing up some Halloween decorations, then when R got home I had her and C decorate!! Our house is spooktacular looking now!!! Well at least the kitchen and living room!!! I whipped up some pumpkin doughnuts real quick and we enjoyed those as a snack and then we just had homemade pizza for dinner!! Daddy got home at about 7:30PM and him and I stayed up till after 11PM because SV had an away game. When she text daddy went and picked her up, then it was bed for everyone!!

Up and at em today as usual!!

Once we got every one fed and I got lunches packed (ham/cheese roll ups, grapes, apple bread and honey cinnamon crackers) daddy went back to bed because he was feeling terrible!!

He slept for a while and then got up and I convinced him to go to MedExpress!! C and I left the house at about 10:30AM to head to our playdate at B S Park with A & A and C and B. C was so shy and wouldn't play with A or B, in fact he was hiding for a while avoiding everyone until I called him out!!! We stayed till almost 1:30PM. B&A playing together, us mom's just talking and C playing by himself!!! :( I sure hope he warms up soon to them, it makes me sad he is so painfully shy!!! Once we got out of BS daddy called us and invited us to lunch - C choose Chinese - daddy was so happy!!!! Daddy let me know what all they did at MedExpress - he peed in a cup and there was minimal glucose in there, but there was lots of blood. They took 5 vials of blood and daddy started getting woozy even before the nurse started so they moved him to a bed!! Even then he almost passed out and they had to call a big male nurse/orderly in to help in case he started to fall out of the bed!!! The nurse said he looked terrible - like his skin was gray - so they made him stay there and lay down for almost an hour!!! They will call us when the blood work is back!! Then on the way home C was so tired he fell asleep!!

I left him in the van (I say out there with him) for a while but I had to go to the bathroom so I woke him up and got him in the house - but he proceeded to lay down on the couch and go right back to sleep!!! Daddy had to do a few things at the Indiana store but he was home in time for me to go pick up R from Spirit band at 4:15PM. Then we came home and I started getting dinner ready - Tacos. Once we ate it's the normal mad rush to get things clean and get baths and get kids in bed!!! Hahahaha!!! Then it was off to dream land for me and daddy!!!

I got such a surprise when I woke up this morning!!

T had to get up and leave early for a career fair in Pittsburgh at Robert Morris College, but before he left he made pancakes for the kids breakfast and put them in the microwave for me!!! What a sweetheart!!! That made my morning so easy!!! So the girls warmed up their own breakfast while I got their lunches ready: crescent pizzas, carrots, peaches (grapes for the boys) and oatmeal raisin granola bars!!

Then I didn't go back to bed, but instead cleaned up my inbox and messed around online a bit (uploaded my latest Zoe layout). Then it was time to get the boys going. Once I dropped C off at school I went grocery shopping, first Aldi's and then Wal Mart, spent about $190 bucks total for almost 2 weeks worth of groceries - not too bad!!! Rushed home and put all the cold/frozen stuff away and then I headed out to get C!! I wanted to run to JoAnn's since we were out ( found a fall paper pad to use for my 30 Days of Thanks album I want to do) and then we ended up at TJ Maxx (the didn't have anything I wanted) and then the dollar tree to find C some chalk!! It was already 12:20 by then so we just went to Mickey's!!!

Then it was home to get laundry done and get dinner in the crock pot (sausage and beans over rice). Finally about 2PM I was able to lay in bed and read a bit!! Once everyone was home we had to run out and get S from band practice, we ended up waiting almost 20 minutes later then usually because I wasn't getting her text and she wasn't getting mine!! Ugh so frustrating!!! G made this adorable hat at school today and I thought he just looked awesome in it!! What a cool dude!!!

Came home and got the rice on and then we ate!! Read so more after dinner and then once S was done with the kitchen I made (this) apple bread for lunches tomorrow!!! Got the boys showered and in bed at 8PM. T called at about 8:30PM and he was finally done and on his way home - to bad he has like a 2 hour drive ahead of him!! Once I finish writing this I'm going to head into bed and read until he gets home and then I think we are going to watch Pacific Rim!!! We have been wanting to see it forever!!

Busy but fun day!!!

All the usually morning routine stuff happened: I sent scrambled eggs, sausage, cinnamon sugar pita chips and fruit in the kids lunches (pineapple for L and Kiwi for everyone else).

Then C and I headed to the track for a walk and ride. Once home I got us ready for our playdate at Mike Park (KG had text me last night and invited us), we were gonna eat lunch there too so I packed us a "picnic". We headed off and there was K with E & C, A with A (from C's class), C and B and another mom and her 2 kids that I was never introduced too. Poor C did want to play with any of the kids!!! He played by himself for a while and then found a "friend" in a little boy that wasn't in our group....he had a good time with him so I guess that is all that matters, right!?!?! We stayed and played (and talked) till about 12:45 and then we headed home, C did not want to leave!!

I worked on some laundry and then at 3PM we left to go to EP, I volunteered to help sort their Market Day stuff. We were there about an hour and C was so shy!!! He colored a bit and then helped me sort a bit, but mostly he hid under the lunch tables!! We were done at 4PM, but L and G didn't want to ride with me they wanted to ride the bus so I sent them home for S to get off the bus. Then C and I stopped at Sheetz for drinks and then headed to the Jr. High and waited to pick R up from Spirit Band practice, she was done at 4:15PM. I was at a loss at to what to make for dinner - nothing was sounding good - I found some chicken nuggets and fries in the freezer so that is what I made!! Daddy made it home at about 7:30PM and it was a mad rush to get kids showered and in bed!!!

Payday!!

Hahaha!!! Best day of the month!!! Daddy too today off!!! Hooray!!! So we got up and got all the morning school/breakfast stuff done.

Tuesday's lunch!!

Got the two older boys on the bus and got C to preschool!! Then daddy and I snuck in and spied on him a bit and then we headed out to spend some time together!!! We first took daddy to Great Clips for a hair cut and while he was there I ran next door to Starbucks and got a salted caramel hot chocolate - it was freaking GROSS!!! I got a slice of pumpkin bread for me - it was "OK". I got a slice of iced lemon bread for daddy - he said it ROCKED!!! Then we ran to the Michael's and I got tons of stuff. Then we went to the kitchen store in the mall and daddy got a new potato masker! Then we picked up C and went to lunch at Eat N Park!

Enjoying lunch!!!

Then to Wal Mart. Then we finally got home and momma worked on getting her new block shelves together so we could change my desk around!! Daddy made dinner for us: Chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy and stuffing!! The I went grocery shopping all by myself!!! Then I came home and finished up the dishes that daddy started and then I made Mac & Cheese for the kid's lunches and granola bars!!

All the lunch stuff!!

Lots of water bottles!!
