1~Michele used my question as her daily question. Teheehee, that was a trip to see my name as I was scrolling down.
daily question
2~I booked a flight to Virgina last night for October. I am going to get to meet many online friends that I have *known* for over 4 years.
3~My husband, Mr. Fun, is really the greatest guy I could of ever dreamed for. He is making this trip happen by working a lot of hours/days and taking a four day weekend. And this after he had to rearrange his schedule for my Vegas trip. I think Mr. Fun ROCKS!
4~I have been to the gym four days in a row. Thanks to my friend Tiff that challenged me. I would link you to her blog but she forgot she started one ;)
5~I am so tired of all the useless papers that come home from school. And I get it times two. Such a waste.
6~I love the show Dr. 90210. Makes me want to avoid any type of surgery. It grosses me out. Its like a car accident. You don’t want look but you find yourself staring.
7~Have I ever mentioned I hate to fly? I get sick and anxious.
8~I will be taking T with me on this six hour flight with one stop. Any tips for flying with a twenty month old will be appreciated (HINT HINT)
9~I ate a big piece of chocolate cake from the Claim Jumper The MotherLoad
10~Okay , it was a huge piece of chocolate cake and it was yummy. I have no guilt. I swear I don’t. Okay a little.
11~I still need to find a babysitter. I am putting it off because, truthfully, leaving my kids wth a stranger frightens me.
12~I delivered a clients photos, she loved the storyboard so much she cried.
13~I have actually been going to bed before midnight this past week and waking up in a better mood. Imagine that????

Yes that is a shoe on his hand and he is sleeping. If you are wondering why the child fell asleep with a shoe on his hand it’s because he’s weird.

Daddy said his goodbye’s and told Wy to have a great first day. Wy questioned why daddy couldn’t be there and seemed okay with it but still a bit sad.
So when Wy saw daddy turn that corner in the parking lot his face lit up. He had a grin from ear to ear as he was yelling “daddy, what are you doing at my school?” Of course daddy couldn’t hear him over the rumble of his motorcycle. Wy watched him turn past the building and off he ran……

Mr. Fun leaving work and driving across town just to see his son off at school is why I fell in love with him………..he just keeps reminding me.

Okay enough of the mushy stuff. Wy’s first day went great. He walked in and didn’t look back. He said this year his teachers sing different songs but he can’t remember any of them. He doesn’t sit in a circle he sits in a half circle. This kid cracks me up. And he let me know that his school looks the same on the outside as last year but the inside is different.
I was disappointed to find out that he has a boy in class that scratched him on the neck last year. This is the kid that Wy said was mean almost daily. Lets hope hes gotten nicer and won’t put a damper on this school year.
I also got suckered into being room mom this year………………what the hell has happened to me people? First the PTO and now room mom……….quick feel my forehad I must be sick.

I am amazed at the amount of people that attend concerts and want to sit through them. Last night I went to see Tim and Faith (which rocked) with my neighbor and JJ. I was standing,dancing,singing, you know all the things you are supposed to do at a concert. The first tap was really light, I ignored it. The second tap was just as light and I just ignored it. I knew what was coming, the third tap was a bit harder and not so hard to ignore but I managed. Then I heard it, the dreaded words I hear at every concert I attend……Can you sit down we can’t see? Hell no I can’t sit down. I am at a concert not a movie.
I did sit for about five songs and during those five songs my neighbor says loud enough to be heard I feel like we are in TIME OUT. After that I stood and did not sit again. I recieved another light tap and if my daughter had not been there I would not of sat all and I would of had more choice words fly out of my mouth.
If you want to sit for a couple hours go see a movie.
____________________________________________________________
After said concert my neighbor and I did not one but two chinese firedrills. My poor daughter hid in the backseat. I told her that this is just the beginning of the embarrassing things I can do.

Kids packed in the car, one screaming for a toy. I am running back in to get said toy so child will shut up and my neighbor pops around the corner. Shes carrying what looks to be her mail, I say hold on and grab toy. As I am closing the door she says ” I’m just bringing you your mail” . Looking at her like she’s on crack. She holds up a mail key and says its been in the lock for two days so she finally got brave enough to open it and see who it belonged to. It was us *blush*. She asked me if it was my doing and if this is why I don’t check the mail (hahhahaha, very funny but so something I would do). It was actually Mr. Fun who checked the mail last. He tried to blame our oldest huckleberry for losing the mail key. She was so excited that it was daddy and not her. She said ” I knew I didn’t lose it” and lets out a big ole belly laugh.
This brings me back to the mailman…. He has put two days of mail in our mailbox. Don’t you think he should of brought us the key ? Is he really that lazy that he can’t bring us our key? Turns out we had some sensitive mail in there, gets me all pissy thinking about what could of happened if it ended up in the wrong hands.
So my question is, would you complain? And who do I complain to? Because regardless if you would complain or not I am complaining. I don’t know who to complain to though.

It’s been a year sice I ran across SPF but never felt cool enough to play. Today I say I am cool. Possibly cooler than most.

1. Stuff that annoys the living shit out of you.(this was a toss up…)

This stupid plant that I think is a weed in disguise. You can’t kill it if you tried. Its messy, prickly and only pretty if its in somebody elses yard far from mine. But there it is sitting in my courtyard….growing bigger and more annoying.
AND

People that don’t have common sense when dropping off and picking up their children from school.
And to top it off theres anywhere to 5-7 kids crammed in that car everday. Now thats safe. (please note heavy sacarsm)

2. YOUR space.

Sadly this is all I got. That archway is one of my favorite things about our house. Just through there is my bedroom. Unforntunately the kids think its a great room to play in.
One day this mom of four hopes to have a space she can call her own, in time…….

3. Something in your life that keeps the makers of Xanax in business.

My husband rides a motorcycle as much as he can. For awhile thats all he ever took to work….. my brother was killed in a motorcycle accident….2+2=4

1~School is going great. G is still not into it as much as I would of hoped for but enough to get us by for now. Hoping to hear less and less “I’M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL”as the weeks go by.
2~After driving Mr. Funs car a few times I figured out that I am not a car person. I much prefer a big tall strong truck.
3~Talked to the president of the PTO and I told her I was joining. So now I have to join. I am so not a PTO mom. What have gotten myself into?
4~I am typing this with a toddlers head on my right wrist.
5~I wish he would just go to sleep. GO TO SLEEP CHILD!
6~My opinion is my own and I own up to it.
7~If you don’t like my opinion that is fine but please don’t bitch about it to me. I will not change my opinion based on your opinion.
8~Joining the PTO could be a good thing, right? I always say I want to be more involved. But do I really want to be caught up in all the bullshit of catty women?
9~I ordered my postcards for my business. I hope they look as good as my business cards do. I also hope to get more clients soon.
10~Still looking for an answer to my babysitter problem. I really wish my mom would move out here already.
11~I hate housework and my house shows that. I blame it on having a large family in a small house. Its really just messy because I hate to clean the same thing over and over a hundred times a day.
12~I actually enjoy putting laundry in the washer and then the dryer, I feel accomplished with little effort. Then comes the folding/hanging and putting away. I don’t care for that part. So on any given day you will find clothes on my couch and my chair.
13~I say I am going to get this house in order and I have big plans to have this house looking as good as it did the year we moved in. We just have too much stuff. WAY TOO MUCH STUFF…………. and one more child then we did back then.

Mr. Fun and I went through a period where we didn’t open our mail. We found a letter saying that a check hadn’t been cashed and the company had canceled the check. If we wanted one reissued to call. So we had to call and I decided to go through the old mail where I found the check dated amost 6 month prior for $187. We also had our termite warranty due and we forgot about it because we don’t open mail or we open it and put it somewhere to forget about it. This was almost a year ago. Meanwhile we have termites eating our house. We keep puttng off the call because of the hefty bill that goes with it. Unless of course you have a termite warranty then its a free service.
Yesterday I get home and Mr. Fun hands me something and says “check this out”. It is a termite renewal bill. Are you kidding me? Do you think it will work? We are so paying this and when the check clears calling to get our house treated. It says our contract expires 11/23/2006. But I am waiting untill this check clears for the next year.
I feel LUCKY ! Maybe i should play the lotto or hit Vegas soon ;-)

I have a friend that has two kids that are my two older kids best friends. We try to do activities together since we don’t attend the same school.
The two girls have danced together for about a year and half. One studio that we danced at all fall doesn’t give us what we want for summer so we attend another studio summers program. This summer we were awed by the new studio they had built. The teachers also seemed stronger and more disciplined. We decided to stick with the summer program studio. Then came their fall program and WOAH….. we must of had some brain farts beacuse after the first class we remembered why we went to another studio. It’s crazy there. These moms are serious dance moms, their daughters are taking seven plus classes and dress like little tramps. I know it’s dance but no 10 year old should be running around with their butt cheeks hanging out and their belly showing. Don’t care if it’s dance wear,still trampy.
After the second class we looked over the schedule of the calm studio where girls dress in clothes that cover them up and the moms aren’t so crazed and pushy. We found two classes that work for us so we went to sign up. It was so refreshing walking back in there. The owner threw his arms up and says “yay! you’re back” as we walked through the doors. It felt like we were a part of the studio and not just another check to turn profit.
So heres to another great fall of dance and another fun recital.
