My Weekend!

This weekend I decided to go to see one of my best friends in the entire world. I have known her since I was 6ish. The story is quite funny as to how we met that is. We both were on a soccer team and we decided we really did not like each other and we continued to fight and argue on the field. Our coach had enough of us and benched us. So instead of fighting we decided to make friends and that is exactly what we did. We have been the greatest friends to each other during some of the hardest times in our lives. I can honestly say I can depend on her for anything. She is not just a friend but a part of my family. Here is her family. Callie with Kaleia and Kamaya.

MORNINGS!

My mornings are so hard! I wish I had a better routine but it really doesn't matter what I do something unplanned seems to happen every morning. I try to send my kids to school on a happy note each day but I tell ya it is getting really hard. The last thing you want to do is being yelling at kids as you say "have a good day" while they are walking out the door.

Here is what I saw today as I am walking out the door with my keys in hand and about a minute to spare! I could not believe my eyes. A pile of clothes that were on a certain Kindergartner about a millisecond before. I am yelling HUNTER where are you?
This is the response I get "I am right here mom"! As you can see he was right there. My lovely son has an issue about when nature calls he has to remove all clothing right down to the socks!!!!

You hate to be mad so today i thought OK if it was me I wouldn't want someone yelling at me to hurry up. (Not that I ever have any more than a minute in the bathroom but hey). So I started laughing so hard and just decided to be patient and wait it out. It was definitely tough when you have two Girls 11 and 10 stressing out because they might not be at school in enough time to socialize. We did get there in time with no one being late and everyone pretty happy. I just wish I could remember to be this patient every day!

Finally something on the wall!

We remodeled our house in May of this year. When we did that I had to paint the entire living room to match because the walls were shared with the ones we tore down. So we took everything off the walls and painted, Moved the cable line and then it made it possible to have the T.V. on a different wall. It left this big space empty and I really had no idea what to do with it.

Now before I go on with this story I have to tell you it is no easy task decorating my home. First off I have no decorating sense to begin with. To add to that with regards to my home my husband has a opinion for everything. I am not exaggerating at all I mean the most opinionated in the world! I love it and hate it. It is great when I need help coming up with an idea however I can not stand it that we have such different ideas. Sometimes it is just so frustrating.

Soon after the remodel was done my husband and I went shopping and found this great rod iron "thing" I call a doily. I know it's not really called that but hey just another weird name. So we put it up and left it there with nothing under it for like 3 months. I went shopping at Sam's Club and found this great set of frame for only $6.88 yeah that's right so cheap. I had to buy them. It just so happens I had 6 5x7 pics one of each of my little munchkins. Julie printed this pic of me and my hubby off her computer for me. I told her to come by and look at the pics I put in the frames and tell me what she thinks and like an hour later we had this great looking wall! It was so frustrating trying to get them on the two little hooks in the back and Thanks to Julie it finally got done and looks great.

So after it taking so long and was a bit frustrating to put up i still had not even mentioned it to Steve. I was so anxious about him not liking it I never even showed him the frames I bought I just put them up and if he didn't like them I figured he could find a better solution right? He came home and loved it. He doesn't like the pic I chose of us but loved the idea and the look. YEAH! I leave for school come home and realize my picture is not centered anymore. He took it off the hooks that took us like an hour to get up and tried to be sly and put it back up! I told him last night how hard it was to get those up and he better have it done before I got home from school and look it was done. However he did tell me that Julie and I are dorks because those hooks are there to have string attached so you do not use the hooks for hanging!!!!!!!!UGGGGG. Frustrating but hey they are up and I love the addition. It is the only thing on all the walls other than a mirror above the couch but hey I getting there.

Homework already!

Today is my first official day of homework! I started my anatomy class last night and I am so afraid/stressed that I am not going to do well. I did this last semster too but actualy did great. I think I am more stressed out about this one because I have had friends fail this class and have had people tell me just how hard it is. So wish me luck and if I get on here and vent you all have to be patient. Back to the books for now.

Alex's Birthday.

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY ALEX

This was a package that came in the mail From Grandma Santos!I talked to her earlier in the day and she said I might be mad at what she bought her!

So of course when she opened a huge case of real adult makeup and was so unbelieveabley excited I had to put my opinion aside and be happy for her. I did say if I find this out anywhere anytime I will throw it away so let's see how she can do.

We have a history of our little girls getting into make-up and making a complete mess. The carpet in both their rooms have huge red lipstick stains on them right when you walk in the room! So thanks grandma for making her day and giving her the present she would never get otherwise! She loved it.

Fun!

I have Julie's girls here while she is at the doctor and Abbey asks lauryn " My name is Rapple Dapple what is your name"? Lauryn looks at her and says "I do not know" and has the funniest look on her face. In my family we have the weirdest nick names and the funniest words fro things that are really not what they are called but hey what can I say I have the coolest Hubby that always like to be a comedian and that's where most of the out of the ordinary names come from. Each one of my kids have 10 to 15 nicknames! Weird huh?

MORE HUNTER FUN!

I called the teacher today just to remind her to send Hunter to the nurse for a breathing treatment today and after we were done talking she said "did you know Hunter cusses"? I said NO! what did he say and she said that this kid had a gogurt and squeezed (Squozed if you ask Julie) it and it flew all over. It was in kids eyes, on the floor and on Hunter's arm. His response "What the HELL was that"? I asked the teacher if she said anything to him but she was having a hard time keeping from laughing and none of the other kids noticed so she said do not sweat the small stuff and went on getting the mess cleaned up!

Then I go to school do the normal drop off thing and see the principal. I start to tell him how unhappy I am with the procedures etc. and we finish our conversation i go to the office to get the POP crap and the principal walks in and asks, me if I walked him into class. I said of course not I was talking to you why? He then tells me Hunter is not in the classroom. My heart dropped and he asked me to go double check the room and I open the door and there he sitting on the rug in circle time! Apparently the teacher thought He asked if Austin was there not Hunter! Thank God! Yes I really was thanking God! no slang there! I wonder if this is how my entire year will be with this kid.
