You know what I like about me? I am a "do-er", usually, and I have to say usually, if I say I am going to do something, I do it. You know what annoys the crap out of me? When you get an e-mail addressed JUST TO YOU but 5 other people are on it too. When it says more or less, are you doing what I asked you to do? See, I have no problem with you checking up on me if you addressed that e-mail just to me, but I have a HUGE problem with you addressing it to me but CC: five other people. My response: I said I would do it, I am doing it, I have one other person to help, it is getting done. I pretty much stay true to my word, and if I wasn't going to do it, you'd be the first one to know. So today during nap time I called 30 people, then after the kids went to bed at 7, I finished calling the other 80. What I want to say is:

DEARFUCKFACE I did what you should've done.

Peace, love, & happiness

And now my public vent is done...thanks for reading. I am off to do the laundry, the folding part because I said I would do it, and I am a girl of my word....98% of the time anyway.

It is THAT Good

There are some things in life that you take the time out to post. This is one of them. Yesterday, I was called out of class to receive a certified letter, opened it and saw a much needed $25 check along with a subpoena to appear in court.....today. So last night I am getting my things in order to appear today and ran across three notes that I needed to set aside. They are all from September and here was my thought process, these are pretty sorry notes trying to excuse unexcused absences and then I looked closer...no way! How did I not notice this in September?
Now, if this is your only paper to write on then you cut that part off, lick it off, scratch it out, something, you don't send this to your child's teacher, let alone with a child that can read cursive. You don't send this to your child's teacher at a Christian school! TWO TIMES I have notes like this. I did laugh, a lot, I had to send the text to all my teacher friends, because who gets a note on stationary like that? It is so out there that my good friend of almost 11 years called and said, that's funny, did someone create that and send it out? I had to convince her that it is real and I actually have to take those notes to court. Worth the time to share & worth the five minutes of laughing at it, not to mention the stress relief. This morning as I sat in the courtroom a nervous wreck I thought to myself, dearfuckface and I laughed a little and relaxed.

Dusting Off

As I pull myself up off the ground I take a minute to sit up and breathe. Things have been much too busy and the fact that it is bright outside is throwing me off too, I feel I have a ton of time, but the reality is no, I only have a few more hours of my day to get things done. Sustaining attention to do anything seems impossible here lately, but things are getting done. Who doesn't have stuff to do, who am I to sit here and talk about how busy I am? I don't know one person that isn't slammed to the ground most of the time. So, here I go, breathing, breathing, breathing, dusting, dusting, going back down now! :)This kid was one of two that was very tired this afternoon, but after he was finished crying over his plate he asked for a hug, caught me off guard, I was too busy reminding myself, "He is tired, he is three, he is tired, he is three, he is one, he is tired, he is tired, he is one, he is tired, he is three, one and half hours until bed time." Oddly enough, I wasn't so stressed after that wonderful at the dinner table hug.

100th Post

I didn't realize that this would be my 100th post, I need to think of something great & wonderful to say...nothing is coming to mind. Here's a funny story for the books:

Today we will be attending a skate party, I am being brave and taking a three year old skating. So we went shopping for the little girl who is turning four yesterday at the Family Dollar because Ryan wanted to go to Jackson, so it was the Family Dollar, Piggly Wiggly, Ingles, or countless fast food places. We went in looking for coloring books & crayons, Ryan beelined to the girls clothes section. He found a white with red polka dots sundress, very cute and said, "This would look really pretty on her. It would look good with her brown hair." I was impressed because it was a cute dress and at $7 he could buy it for her. (With three parties this month everyone is getting a $15 limit). We looked down every aisle until we found the perfect gifts, Disney Princess markers, 2 coloring books princess themed, Disney Princess sandwich holder, Disney Princess playing cards, Disney Princess water bottle, & a pink bouncy ball. We were off to the register and while waiting in line Ryan is playing with a box. He said, "We should get this for her too mom! It is purple!" Oh yes, purple & black any girl is sure to love it! I am sure her mom would love us giving her

I said, "You know, there will come a day when she will need to buy those, but I don't think four is that age. Actually, honey, there will come a day when you will need to buy those as well, but hopefully not for another 15 years." Oh, it was a great laugh, I had to tell Nick when we got home, part of me wanted to put the condoms in the bag and pay the $2 for something we would never use just to see Nick's expression as we showed him everything $15 could buy!

Ignore the solemn girl in the back, I was trying not to bounce around.

We Love It!

We love it when Alex comes to visit. Ryan always says, "Now we have three brothers!" I have a sneaky suspicion he thinks we are okay too! I had the opportunity to see how close they are all becoming, Andrew was crying and Alex ran to him and said, "It is okay." Very sweet! I had to get a picture of his fabulous outfit today. ;) There is a Spiderman shirt on underneath the moose sweater.

Everyone In Georgia

Everyone in Georgia will be blogging about the snow yesterday and the no school today. We Southerners freak out over a little snow, we get excited, we have it for a day and that is it and to me that is the best snow.
