My Sarcastic Reality: Stupid Snow Days

My Sarcastic Reality: Stupid Snow Days

Stupid Snow Days

I love sleep. I hate waking up at 6 am to get my kids off to school but I gladly do it so they are out of my hair for 8 hours/day. We have 1 more week until Christmas break. That means a whole two weeks of me trying to find entertainment for them day in and day out so they don't kill each other. This never happens though because nothing I find entertaining is fun for them apparently. I say lets watch a Harry potter marathon ( throw some blankets and pillows on the floor and make some popcorn and snuggle) They interpret that too 'lets have a popcorn-pillow fight and jump around screaming until Mom looses it and send us to bed for the day'. Or I suggest going outside to play in the snow that saved you from a day of learning. That is quickly followed by "awww mans' and 'I don't want too' but they will eventually agree because little sister still sees magic in everything and really wants too go outside. Turns out that it takes us longer to get on the gear than before someone will be in crying that they got face washed by their brother or their hands are too cold and their nose is running. So that turns in to a 20 minutes of making a mess of the back room for me to clean up..YAY that was fucking fun :/

So now I have suggested to paint on ornaments for their friends at school or in my boys cases their "girlfriends" *rolling eyes* (that is a whole nother post). I have not started this yet and I am concerned for... well for me and my house in general. I'll let you know

So yeah today is a snow day and maybe I am the only one crabbing about it but really a week before Christmas break??? Come on Mother Nature!!!

Hosting Thanksgiving?! Me Really?

Now I know the title sounds like this might be my first year hosting Thanksgiving but nope this would be either my 7th or 8th year and it still feels like a form of torture. A part of myself I have learned to hide fairly well from the rest of the world ( or at least here in my small town) is the fact that I have social anxiety or just plain anxiety but it completely heightens when there is a crowd of people in my home depending on me for shit. I love all of my family and friends that come over and My friend is helping with a lot of the load but I am not a very good cook ( i get by the turkey will not be burnt) nor am I organized with cooking for 25 people in my SMALL ASS KITCHEN. I have very little counter space. I have very little space to put the food after it is done. So I get a little flustered right about this time when I have to have my house spotless *rolling eyes* see last post and trying to prepare and shop for this. I have to clue, even 7 years later, how to cook multiple things in the oven and on the stove with out something being cold at the end.

I have been productive though. I did sew slip covers for my couch and even re stuffed and sewed some of the rips in the couch, thanks to my wonderful crafty friend that yells at me to get shit done. I love her. everyone need a friend like her. She completely motivates our group of friends to get off our lazy asses and Do this shit. I feel so empowered LMAO. Then I have another friend that went grocery shopping with me...notice a pattern here though she was the one who suggested shopping...just sayin'.

So this year will be no different. I will need plenty of alcohol to try to not freak out with the stress. My family will make fun of how discombobulated (is that a word? spell check thinks so) I am and I will somehow make a fool of my self for trying no to make a fool of myself. So yeah Happy friggin Thanksgiving :)

I am trying..but apparently I have ADD

I really want to update this more often. I also want to get more pictures done a lot faster. I am sure customers would appreciate that also. Then there are the around the house projects I need to get done. Like repaint and organize my kids rooms, make slip covers for the couch which is sporting a nice tear in the cushion that is due to my lovely boys. The list goes on trust me. I just can't stay focused long enough to get one of those tasks accomplished. I have tried every thing..yes including medication. All medication does is help me focus on the task I need to do the least ( but is usually want I want to do) Never what I NEED to do. Are you following me? just checking. Seriously I can't even write this blog with out my mind wandering to the next topic. So apparently this is ADD right? Add that with my OCD I am one flipped out Mom half the time. Not like crazy mad mom but just don't always got it together. AND it seems that I am pretty much alone in this fact too. All of my friends have these pristine houses and well behaved kids all the time. When they venture into my house ( which happens often because I am also quite the hermit and have no shame) I am constantly making excuses and saying don't judge me. LOL It is really not that bad..no hording and it not filthy but I currently have about 4 loads of unfolded laundry behind me and from what I gather from my friends there should not be a family Sock basket *shrug* who knew. Things like that.

To top off the shit that is my life, Never once since I have been living on my own have I gotten though the holidays with out a vehicle or major appliance breaking on me. Yep just got back today from walking up town to get my Van from the shop. When I got home my Lovely friend dropped off her Vacuum for me. yeah I know hint hint. My vacuum also went this month and of course I can't go buy a vacuum with money I don't have with out a van, So that was done first..where was I going with this?...SEE!

Whatever at least I managed another post before a year has past. One task down 50 more before Hubby arrives home :)

Have a great day!

Well crap it's been a year...and then some

Not sure what else to say. Thats is the reason it has been this long. I mean I have had things to talk about but who really cares. My life is like everyone else and others say it so much better than I. I have a ll theses great ideas, then when I go to write it all my brain just won't let me complete a coherent sentence. Then I am off rambling about something totally off topic... like now.

So Anyway... my Three spawn keep me busy as well as my photography..as well as my husband who may or may not have mentioned a few times that I should keep a spotless house. I don't believe that was in my vows but whatever. So alas I have no time to write either.

So much has changed in a year. My brother lives in Tennessee exploring a music career. All three kids are in school. Ava is still only 3 days a week but for the most I am getting more and more things accomplished by her being in school.

I would have thought that my baby going to school would have made me sad or bring out some emotional response but nope I am rather ecstatic to have time to myself..I love it! Okay I'll admit I had a twinge of sadness watching my last child board the bus that first day and was a little lost that first day but then they came home :)

Keegan is going to be 11 in January and is in his last year of elementary school. I think this fact may be more shocking to my system than Ava attending school. I have a fear of the end of the year, and not totally because I will have to endure 3 months of summer before they go back but because I am pretty sure I will be the mom completely making a fool of myself... crying and sniffling though the halls the whole last day, hugging teachers like I don't have two more children in that school and won't ever see them again, with snot and all. I am pretty much preparing myself for the last day since...well...the first day of school this year. I really hope I don't scar Keegan in the process. Time will only tell.

Now if I do all this, make a fool of myself and Die of mortification, Shane is the one who will have a hard time with out me. Shane is the poster boy for a Momma's boy. I love every minute of it. even when he was about 2 or 3 he was protective of me. He scratches my back and brushes my hair and at 8 still loves to cuddle with me. Though this is the same child who screeches and will run away from me if I happen to see him at school but that is besides the point. He is MY child!! Ava is Definitely Bryan's child...she lights up differently when she sees him vs. me. Keegan is loves us all the same. When Keegan was just starting to crawl we would put him far from us then both us us would call him to see who he would come too (don't judge you've done it) and every time he would either go the other way or just sit and cry. He could never pick between us. I do love that about him. Shane though will pick me every time, hands down. Ava will always pick Bryan. I think the reason why that kid tugs at my heart the way he does is because his is his fathers clone. Those two do whatever it takes (most days) to just make sure I am happy. I love them boys!!

Okay So this is at least an update and if I have time in the next year Maybe I'll post something else.

see ya
