all is back to normal again:)

Well the hoolagins have returned!!! It is no longer peaceful in my home. I love it though. Seems to me that when they are gone yes it is quiet and yes i do love it but its just not right. Today our cousins from Kansas have come to town and are staying the weekend with us. They have a little boy that is 5, perfect for easton to play with and a little girl that is a month younger than loagin. They are good together as well. The kids are abesoulutley elated to have them here. They dont get to see them very often only like maybe twice a year so its good for them. We went to moms today and picked up the two older kids and went swimming with Tisha and Marissa They had so much fun today, I think we got to spend a total of about 3 hours with them today and it was great. Also john and i got our first big investment yestarday A NEW 2007 HHR LT!!!!! I am sooooooo excited about that. i love it already. we have been driving a piece of crap neon that was in good shape when we got it, but man has it had the miles put on it. it was fixin to hit 100,000 and it was running very sickly Although we have been together for 7 years now we are just now investing in a vehicle and it feels good. Neither of us have EVER had a new automobile. so this is a first for us both and were ecstatic about it. I just pray that it holds up like it should for us and our family cuz we needed it!!!! well on that note i will go and good night.

last day of quietness:(

Well this is it, my last day of peacefullness. My two older hoolagins come home tomorrow!!!:) Loagin has been so great this week. He has ohhh sooo loved the attention of being an only child for a full 4 days now. I think sometimes he wants to be an only child. I am going to go get the other two and go swimming with them before we come home. I hope they had a good time because school is fixin to start and it will probably be a while before they get to go to Grandmas again. :( They will survive though. We have been cleaning our apt all week, we have the family from kansas coming down to stay with us, Tanner who is a little older than easton but yet they are so much alike is coming and i know that Easton is soooooo excited about that, he also has a baby sister that is loagins age but i think addy will have much fun with her. They are gonna stay here with us so it should be intresting. I am so tired of cleaning but it seems to be a never ending job around here. even with only one child i think he makes just as big a mess as all three of them together. well i guess i will end on that note and finish cleaning my livingroom before the company comes tomorrow.

Kidless (well 1/2 way) :)

Well today we stayed home. Yestarday the kids and i took the trip to my moms house. Latisha Dedra and Marissa as well as Sally, Chris, Aiden and Brianna came over to visit. I really enjoyed getting to see them.. I am pretty sure i have not seen sally except a couple of times right after we graduated. It just seems like it has been forver. the kids played in the pool and i think chris enjoyed it the most:) of the 3 hours they were there i think he got out of the pool only twice. that boy loves the water. but i hope they enjoyed it . i know the fun kinda went down hill, when loagin fell off the deck but hes fine. Acts normal eats and most of all still throws his fits when hes mad. He just scratched his head a little and i think it just scared him falling that far. No broken bones YET!!!:) How i have acomplished that i am not sure. My kids are not really the safest:) But i hope everyone had a good time and i just wanted to let them know i enjoyed the time i got to spend with them. On a good note i left the two older kids at moms. right now loagin is napping and its so peaceful and quiet her in our little bitty apt. I only have 4 more days and i am sooooooo loving it. Better soak it up while i can:)

Only the 2nd day of the week!!!

Well like latisha today has not been my day. I of course thought this was Monday so you can see how baaaad my kids have me screwed up. John decides hes gonna go play golf after he gets off work and i unfortunantley have been cooped up in our 1000 sq. ft apt all day with the three hooligans. Not a good day. The fighting well its no better than it was last week. Of course if i do decide to take them somewhere they try to be good. But that never ends up working for them. Today we tackled Target while john was at work this evening. Yeah he worked then Golfed then they went back to work. He seems to think that he can just pick up and go golf or hit little white balls into the open field, whenever he pleases as i just have to sit on my already "fat" butt at home. Not gonna loose weight with no help from him. Not like he dont need to loose a few pounds here and there as well. I hate being overweight and its starting to really weigh on me and bring me down. I however am glad to say that i have been the same and i mean the exact same since i had loagin almost two years ago. I dont know how but i have not lost nor gained and its unreal to me. But its starting to get on my nerves. Of course its not nice to tell people they are fat but it seems to me that easton has learned to say "Mom your fat and daddys not." Dont know who would have coached him on that one. LOL I know he dont mean anything by it cuz he hears john and i joke with each other but it brings me back to reality. And then theres the traffic up here. That has really begun to make me sooooo mad. I hate even going down the road to the Post Office. I can never go by stamps that of course would take at least an hour. we have a machine in our PO but it never works. Maybe because all of the people who cant read or speak english dont know what to do and they screw it up. Yes i think thats the whole problem with this "at one time not so crowded of a town" sprindale, there are a few to many hispanics here that just need to return home. Anyway on a good note once again only 5 more days until i am 2 less kids. Woo Hoo

well today is now Monday. The worst day of the week for me cuz it seems like the longest. However maybe since we have a t*ball game tonight it wont be to bad. Yeah right. like i could get that lucky. My kids cant seem to go for like 5 minutes without starting in their fighting with each other. I never imagined having kids like that. i had always hoped for the good kids. man was i way off. Mine just seem to get worse with the age. I am not real sure if anyone else has the same problem. I am sure you with boys have some fights but i think its even worse when you throw a girl in the mix. she seems to be the whiney one and i am just almost to the nervous breakdown point if i have to hear that whiney, crybaby voice anymore. For the most part we had a pretty good weekend. Took the kids to the Lake on Saturday and went swimming with them. Today we took them across the street and let them ride their scooters. They enjoyed that, well they did until Addy started with the whinyness once again because it was HOT outside. She is not used to the heat i guess. Well I only have to tough it our for about ohhh lets see 6 more days and then the 2 older ones are going to grandmas house for a week of VBS. I am in need of a break. I was telling tish that i have only been kid free 2 times in the last 7 years and i am soon to make it 3 that is just not enough breaks for me. I could use a couple more sometimes it seems. But on a good note. only 4 more weeks til school starts back woo hoo!!!!! i am so excited and i dont even go to school.:) well hope everyone has a great week. talk to you all later

OH ME OH MY~!!!!

Well today is almost Wed. Lets see it rained most of the day here. So unfortunatley the kids and I stayed home all day. John however went to drive golf balls into the wide open with his boss. That would be a good thing for most people to be buddies with their boss. However in this case John and his boss have been friends since high school. So they have always been chummy with each other. We got to go to the wonderful world of Tball where my daughter, (one of the only two girls on the team) seems to enjoy playing in the dirt. If i had known weeks ago she just wanted to play in the dirt I could have saved my $40.00 and just gotten her some dirt. I dont really think she likes tball. Next year will be eastons year to play so she will just sit that one out. Well we finally lost tooth #4 the second one on the top. She has a really big gap there now. She knocked the other one out with her brothers forehead and still doesnt have one grown back in. You can only imagine how goofy that looks. well not a whole lot happened today. Tomorrow is library day for me and the kids so that should be fun, for them anyway. Oh and yes JEN i think i have some of the same outlooks on driving as you. I hate driving in the rain b/c of the big rigs and well i dont really have the 3 lanes of traffic but i do have all the mexicans that dont know how to drive here and that seems to put me in the wrong mood. I think they should have to be able to speak our language and have a valid DL if they want a vehicle. Upsets me dearly. well i will go on that note. later

The Fourth is over

The Fourth is over
Well today is the 5th and the 4th was quite an eventful one for us. We spent this year with mom. I have never spent the 4th with her in the past 21 years so it was time. The kids had been down there since Monday. They love going to grandma tonyas house. When we got there it was so nice outside. The sun was out and PERFECT for swimming. I was so glad it was warm. John actually went down there with us this time as well. We actually shot the fireworks at Todd and Angie Micheals house, thats also where we ate. Grilled burgers and all the good fixins that go with it. Yummy!!!! No one got hurt which was a plus. Loagin did really well to with the noise. we werent sure how he would react to them since he was so little last year. I was very pleased with all of my kids.They behaved fairly well for having no naps that day. I hope everyone else had a GREAT Fourth and a safe one.

ALMOST THE 4TH

Well its almost the 4th. Today has been a pretty boring day around our house. Loagin and i stayed home all day. We played trucks and cars and also we fixed our computer. We had router issues but finally we got them resolved. He was such a big help turning the computer on and off as he likes to do, but he only likes to do it as it is not needed to be done at the time. We are now watching Joel Osteen hes a wonderful preacher, however at the moment his wife is the one doing the preaching but i enjoy watching either of them. They seem to make it enjoyable to hear the word of God and i for one can understand him a little better than some of the others. We went outside for a bit to watch some of the other kids shooting off their fireworks. Mostly to see how Loagin is going to do tomorrow. He didnt cry so i guess thats a good thing. I sure hope so. This will be his first fourth that he can actually enjoy it. He was a little to young last year (only 7 months old). Well that is about all for today i just thought i would write a little i hope you all have a Safe and Happy 4th of July. God Bless and Take care.

rain rain and more rain

rain rain and more rain
Okay well today is july the 2nd and it has just been a really gloomy day here in the big ol town of springdale. I think it has rained for most of the day. I only got to look out the window a couple of times and it was not. I would like to say that reading all of jens blogs has really inspired me to write. i have always wanted to keep a journal but never found the inspiration to do so. So i would like to say thanks Jen. You are truly my inspiration now. I know that i have lost touch with most of my old friends and honestly i don't have any here. i have lived here for almost 8 years now and i think the only people i know now that i didn't know then are my inlaws. Pretty sad huh. I think my kids have more friends than me. Actually i know they do. I don't mind though. As long as i have my kids and my John to talk to i get along okay. I have recently started talking to Latisha again and i am so thankful for her. She has brightened up my life alot in the past few months. I feel like i really have a friend that i have always had. I know that any time i would like i could call darla, but now that shes found her a man i prefer to let her be with him and not bother her with my issues of being a stressed out mom. seems like i am only stressed bc school is out and all 3 of my children are home. They do okay but Addy seems to be the bossy one. She likes to think she can just tell Easton what to do. And of course he wont take any bull from her. Loagin well he's still a little bit of a crybaby. i mean i guess he can be he's only 18 months now and he seems to be getting bigger every day. I saw my mom today, she brought addy and easton back from her house but then she took them back. addy had a tball game but unfortunately it got rained out. so we will be going down there for the fourth and then they will come back home. well i guess i will leave on that note. now that i have peace and quite i just like to watch tv and enjoy this time to myself to recoup from my days of kids and toys.
