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.

Happy 12th birthday to R!!!

The morning started out just like every other Thursday morning! My packing lunches and getting the kids off to school! Once I got the boys out the door I ran CJ into town to school. Then I needed a little break from my mother so I got breakfast at Taco Bell and then headed into Wal Mart to get paper plates and a few other odds and ends!! Then it was back home to work on cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry! Then it was off to pick up CJ and another little break! I came home and mom was trying to get Grant and Gavin's DS's working and it was just painful! The boys were trying to play with them and she was being a total bitch and just being plain mean to them! It was driving me UP THE WALL!!! I was in the kitchen trying to clean a little and get lunch ready - mac & cheese! Again after lunch it was more of her bitching and moaning and more of me trying to just avoid her!! T called at about 1:30PM, he was in Pittsburgh but his truck had no breaks - it was going to need to be towed home!! The kids started coming home and it was looking like daddy was going to be late and it was just a terrible time! But we had hot dogs and fries for dinner and I had make and iced cupcakes for R's birthday! She opened her present and loved the new Kindle we got her!! Then mom put the boys to bed at about 7:50PM and she was just being a total bitch to them - I felt so bad and I just wanted to run away! So I was thankful when T texted at 8PM for me to come pick him up! I got him and then took him to Burger King for some food and then McDonald's. Then it was home to put our kiddos to bed! My mom was very cool to us and then went to bed shortly after! I was not looking forward to spending two more days with her!

Super busy!

Well daddy was up and out the door before any of us were even awake so I was flying solo this morning! But thankfully I had pre-packed most of the lunches the night before so I was back in bed before I knew it. The girl's just ate cereal for breakfast! Then the alarm went off at 7:30AM and I gave the boys cereal for breakfast too. They got dressed and then I finished packing up their lunches and back packs! It was so cold this morning and raining and it was terrible! Once the boys were on the bus I headed into town to drop CJ off!! Then it was off for some Easter shopping. I hit the Dollar Tree and got a bunch of stuff, TJ Maxx for an outfit for R and then JoAnn's for some scrap goodies! Then it was off to Wal Mart to get a dress for S and some food for lunches for the rest of the week! Once out of there I ran through Taco Bell's drive thru for "breakfast" and then to CJ's school to spy a bit. I was happy to do this because the kids got to see a real live bunny!! Then CJ and I headed home for lunch! I worked on Gman's hat (It's finished!!) and then everyone came home. Gman was crying and fussy because his right ear is hurting - I think he might have an ear infection - I don't have time for this crap - so I dosed him with advil and am hoping for the best!! Then at 5PM we headed out the door to eat dinner at Mickey's! Then once we were done it was off to EP for the 3rd grade party planning meeting. Which was a bust - there was only 4 people that showed up besides Jenn and I!! Two of them were Chrissy and Laura! Ugh!!! We were done at 7:30PM and it was rush, rush, rush through showers and teeth brushing the next 30 minutes! I got 4 of the kids in bed at 8PM and S went at 9PM. Then I added a few more things to Gman's hat and listened to a bunch of Youtube videos! Now it's 11PM and I'm off to bed!!

Such a busy day!!

I'm so beat and here is why!! We ran through our morning routine for all the school kids and then CJ and I were off and to the track to walk! 43 minutes later I found Taco Bell in my van from dad - love that man! Then I stopped at Sheetz to get CJ a go-gart snack and we headed to the library for story time! Then we grabbed a few books for ourselves and then headed to see daddy at work, he was in town today! Then it was a quick trip through the drive through to get CJ a happy meal and me a tea and then off to Wal Mart to pick up some odds and ends! Then it was off for home! I cleaned up the kitchen, boiled eggs and then worked on Gman's hat and made the kids chocolate chop muffins for snack! T called the doctors because he is having trouble with his big toe and the doctor declared he has gout and is now on a steroid for a bit! Then the girls started coming home and R brought a friend with her and she was one rude kid plus she had the stinkiest feet ever!! Our whole house smelled! Boo!! She was here till about 5PM and then the kids and I had ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner! Then Laura picked me up at 5:55PM to head to the PTA meeting. We were there till 8:30PM and then we (me, Laura, Krista and Cindy) headed to Brunzies for drinks! It wasn't too late of a night so I was home by 10:30PM! Then I peeled eggs and made pudding for lunches and then it was off to bed!

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!

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!!
