Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was way to short. It seems like it flew by. I was planning on this being a slow and lazy weekend, with me not doing anything more than just going to Colton's game on Saturday. It started out with my Mom coming by my work on Friday afternoon and asking me and the kids to ride to Winnsboro with her. I thought that would be ok, but then Taylor had a spa party (aka kids Mary Kay party) so that put a little bit of crimp in our evening. We ended up just going out to eat. I had been on call all weekend so I was tired, and just wanted to go to bed early. I got home and was in bed before 10pm but then Michael was out drinking so I could not sleep. I finally sent him a text at midnight and he rolled in about 45 minutes later. So then I finally was able to rest and go to sleep. Colton's game was late in Lindale so I did not have to get up early but then my sister sent me a text that she needed a babysitter so I just got on up and got in the shower. While I was getting ready for the game Kamdyn broke our TV. It sucked big time. Really sucked. So today I went and put another one on layaway. we will get ours fixed but we need a new one. It is time. Michael bought ours 5 yrs ago so even though it is not old it is not new either.
Colton's game was good. They won 16-0 against the other Lindale 5th and 6th grade team. It was rainy off and on but the sun came out right when he started playing and it was nice the rest of the day. That evening we went over to Tim and Angie's house and played cards. Kam spent the afternoon over at Kelli and Greg's so when she came home she was tired. I probably got another hour out of her then went on home. She and I were sound asleep by the time Michael and the kids came in. I made vegetable soup, it was soooo good. That is all we have ate for the past couple of days.
Colton went out and bought himself a new bike for his birthday. He was so excited about it. Sunday we did nothing. I took the girls to church and bought groceries but other than that not a thing. No TV the kids played outside all day long and I was inside reading. The perfect day.

Ear Piercing Sunday!

Yesterday both my girls got their ear's pierced. This was actually Taylor's 4th time. Poor kid. She has such sensitive ears, they get so badly infected (or her father takes them out to soon) and they end up growing back up. I have been kind of pushing her to get them pierced again, she is getting older and I know in a few years she is going to be wanting to wear cutesy earrings. All of a sudden Saturday she decided that she wanted to get them pierced. So we went to Wal-Mart Sunday after church and got them done. Kamdyn decided that she wanted to get hers done to. In February she said that she wanted to get her ears pierced, we got all the way to where they marked her ears and she changed her mind. So yesterday when she said that she wanted to get them done, I was skeptical. But I did think that if she saw Taylor get them done and see that it was nothing, then she would get them done. She watched Taylor and then all but shoved her out of the chair. She was ready. She jumped up on the bench, pulled her hair back and was ready. They marked her ears and then got the little guns ready. I just knew that once they actually did it, she was going to loose it and freak out. She hates shots! Cries when we go to the dr, just in case she might get a shot. That little girl was AWESOME! They pulled the trigger, she jumped down and said that she was ready to go get her barbie that Nana promised her. Never even flinched. Such a big girl now. So now she has pink earrings, she loves showing off. I love my sweet kiddos, they are so awesome!

Colton had a game on Saturday. They won 39-0. Those boys were on fire.

It's so hard...to say goodbye....to yesterday

Yesterday I went to Taylor's first pep rally. I am not ashamed to say that sitting in those bleachers, I sooo wanted to go back to high school. I even teared up. I was a band nerd, through and through. I am not athletic. Can't play any sport, pretty much don't want to. But I could play the clarinet. I was pretty darn good if I do say so myself. I loved being part of something like the band. In Whitehouse, the band was it. Our football team sucked, but the band....we ROCKED!

I can remember the excitement of the football game, of marching on the field. Watching Taylor starting all that, I really can't describe how I feel. I understand the mothers who live vicariously through their kids. I wanted to walk over there where the band was sitting and be a part of that again. I took Kam with me to the pep rally and she hated it. She hates loud noises and pep rally's are loud. They are supposed to be :) She cried, put her hands over her ears and finally went to sleep.

In going to the rally it made me think. I hope that Taylor and Colton thoroughly enjoy their school years. Once you get out, nothing ever compares to it again. I did not have an exceptionally great high school career. I wasn't popular, but I did have great friends and had a wonderful time in school. I would not trade any of it (well except I would try to do better grade wise) I had an absolute blast.

Ok so nostalgia is over. I can go back to being a grown up and working now *ugh*

Weekend Wrap Up

We started the weekend off with a family reunion. If you know my family then you know that we have a family reunion with one side of the family every month. Probably every week but I don't make it to all of those. Saturday's was with my late papaw's family, so it was very nostalgic to see all his look alike brother's there. Makes me miss him more. Kamdyn got to see Eli and Levi who she loves! So we did family reunion in the morning and then in the afternoon.....FOOTBALL!!!! We love football at our house. Especially our little eagle #66. Colton had a game that was supposed to start at 5:45 Saturday evening in Brownsboro. We had to be there at 5. Games were running late so the game before his, did not start until 5:45. Needless to say, we did not get finished playing until 7:45ish and did not get home until 9pm. So poor Kam was a hot mess by the time Colton's actual game started. I am not sure that I am going to be taking her to all of his games. She is just getting to hard to handle sometimes and since Michael is helping on the field, I am doing it all by myself. Colton's team won 19-0 or 13-0 we are not sure. There was a late TD made but they said it was called back but the score board never reflected it. But either way, a win is a win and we were soooo proud of our boyz!


Sunday we had a joint party for Colton and Keaton. Colton's birthday is 8/18 and Keaton's is 9/13. They love doing the joint birthday so we had everyone at our house yesterday for lunch and Cake. They had a blast and it was fun.

All in all we had a really great and busy weekend. Hope everyone else did too!!!

Wits End

So today I am at my wits end. I might be crazy at the end of this week, who knows. We got Kam a new bed (anything to get this child to sleep) and thought that she would love to sleep in her new bed! NOPE. Not Kamdyn.

Monday we put her bed together, got her room all set up and cute, hyped up sleeping in the new bed all day. So 9pm rolls around, I put everyone in bed, kiss everyone good night and go back to the living room. Here come Kamdyn, "Mom, I need to ask you a fuestion" I ignore her. Super Nanny says to just calmly walk them back to bed, don't make eye contact, just put them to bed. So that is what I did. 2 minutes later, here come Kamdyn. MOM I NEED TO ASK YOU A FUESTION! I put her back to bed. MOM I JUST NEED TO ASK YOU A FUESTION!!! so I give in and say what? She goes into some long drawn out conversation about Rex. So I lose it. I spanked her and put her back to bed. She is up again in 5 minutes but this time she is behind the couch hiding. I look behind the couch and tell her that if she does not get in her bed right now she is going to get another spanking. Needless to say, she got beat and finally was asleep by 11pm.

Tuesday night, I start at 8:30 and this time I go lay with her. We lay there for about 30 minutes and she tells me, I don't want you in my bed. Go to your own bed. I get up and tell her that is fine, she can lay here and talk to herself, play I don't care. She just has to stay in her bed. She doesn't. I am trying really hard not to spank her or have another night where it ends in a fight. So I get Taylor and she gets in the bed with Kam. About 9:30 I am tired, been a long day and I was up late the night before so I go to bed. 15 minutes after I get in the bed, I feel the bed shaking and here a loud thump from under my bed. I turn on the light and yell at Kamdyn to get out from under my bed and go to sleep. She leaves crying and goes back to the back of the house. After about 15 minutes I get up to check on her and look in her bed, no one there but Taylor, then look in Colton's room. There she is sound asleep. Why does this child not want to sleep in her own bed? Who knows but at least she was in bed 1hr earlier. Tonight will be bad because she will go to church with mom and not get home until 8:30. Lord grant me the patience to deal with this willful child, otherwise something has to give.

Settled Down

Things have settled down here. Which is a very good thing because I can't take to much drama. I still don't like my job, my bosses or anything about this place but I come here every day and do my job to the best of my ability. I have never blogged about my job because the internet is not safe, my computer here is not safe (yes I am blogging on work time) I hate to put anything out there that could cost me my job or make things worse for me. For instance, my boss R goes through my trash to see what I have been eating, doing and whatever else you can deduce from the trash. Gross right? How do I know this? The other day he called me about lunch and asked me what time I was going. I said it doesn't matter I usually bring my lunch so I will just run errands while I am out. He said, oh I saw fast food bags in the trash. Now tell me, why would he say something like that? I do bring my lunch almost every day but I also will stop on the way to work and pick something up for breakfast. What kind of freak is he? ugh the worst kind. Another instance of his craziness...one of our former co-worker's mom died. In lieu of flowers they asked for a donation to be made to a local charity. He said that they were going to give a donation and asked if I would pick up a card. He also said that I could go in with them on the donation. I never said yes or no, just that it was a good idea. So I went out and bought the card and left it for him. Yesterday I get a note on my desk that said, I have never received any money for ____ donation. You need to give me an answer or pay $25 for your part. I love this former co-worker and have no problem with doing this for her. I do have a problem with him, but I did it anyway. I wrote the company a check for $20 because it came out of the company's account. Today I get a note asking me to make the check out to him. Sounds really shady to me. Now I am paying him? I have to find another job.
