Go Scouts!

They won! Go Scouts! Here are some pics of Tyler and one of David. It was a beautiful day.

Merry Go Round

Wow what a whirlwind past two weeks. I love working and the people I work with. I don't love to rush home and get things ready for the evening. The past month has seemed to spin out of controll. I can't remember much of whats happened. Other than the basics. Oh wait nothing has happened because I've been too exausted.LOL . I work all day tomorrow and Tyler has a football game in the next town tomorrow after school. Poor Jenny I had to get her a dog sitter for the day because we won't be home until after 3pm. And then back out the door for another 2hrs. I couldn't kennel her for 8hrs during the day. She doesn't even sleep there at night anymore. Only when we're gone. My friend Denise said she would take Jenny for the day.
Darren and I cleaned out an ugly pine tree bush thing in the back yard today. It looks much better back there. Except I did something to my hip. I'm tellin ya I am falling apart here. LOL
Well hopefully I will update more often. But don't count on it. We still have everything else in the evenings. So if you see a new post then I've had time to sit here and actually think. LOL TTFN

All grown up

Well today is the day that I no longer have to do anything for David. He gave himself a bath tonight all by himself. That was the only thing left I had to hold onto with him being my baby and all.
I worked out at the gym this morn for an hour and a half. Went to wally world to pick up lunch stuff. And then off to Migun massage place. It felt soo good. But now I am achey. My joints hurt. I better not be getting the bug going around. I get to work again tomorrow. Six more hrs at the high school again. And Wednesday I go on a field trip with Davids class to the zoo. I'll have some pics hopefully from that later on.

Wow what a week. I finally got called into work this week at East High school. I was so excited to be there I didn't care what I got to do in the kitchen. So dummy me says, " I can do dishes." Wrong move. Holy crap cafeteria pots and pans are heavy. After an hour of washing dishes BY HAND my shoulders hurt so bad. Then it moved down my back... UUUGGGG. I won't be offering to do dishes ever again. Although, I will do them if that's the only thing left to be done. The rest of the week I was incharge of setting up the salad bar. Which wasn't too hard. I use to do it all the time about 13 yrs ago. LOL not much has changed. Except the kids HAVE TO HAVE thier cookies n cream pudding crap. BLEK it was grose. And I got to take instruction from an asian woman who spoke poor english. You, Kitchen, ICE, ICE IN KITCHEN. OK where? So she had to physically show me. Because I couldn't understand 90% of what she was saying. Also public high school kids are spoiled! They have a snack shack, hot food line, pizza and hotddog line, sub sandwich and wrap line, and the salad bar line. It's hard work but I actually like it. I want to stay there for as long as possible. Because that's the school the boys will go to when they're old enough. After a week of bustin my rear end I will be excited to see my first check on the 15th of next month. My first real check since I quit Fedex.

Thursday was Tylers second football game. His team did better than last time but they still lost 3-1. As long as he is having fun, that's all that matters to me.

September 11 Has another memory

Today David went back to schoo! Praise the Lord! And I got to do everything I didn't do for a whole week.

Today was also Tyler's first football game of the season. He got to play is dream position. QUARTER BACK ...... You know your the cool kid when your the QB..LOL...... So before his head gets too big here are some pictures from his most humble days.. LOL or day.. HAHA

The game was called due to lightning. Thank God because it was pouring rain. We were all soaked. My friend Shelly was kind enough to share her large umbrella with me thank goodness. So anyway here's some pics before I ramble too much longer.

Sick and Tired

Ok David is sick and I am tired of him being sick. I thought he was doing alot better. I had a Dr. appointment to night at 6pm and I had made his dinner to go. As he was eating I happen to look back. UHH mom I don't feel good. And litterally 2 minutes before we could get to a bathroom or stop somewhere. He vomited all over the back seat of my expensive pretty truck with CLOTH seats. He was a mess and so was his seat. GAG... I got him cleaned up best I could and the gals at the Dr office managed to squeeze him in. And they were booked. So anyway he has a "virus". I hate that word. And all I could think of when I was cleaning up the truck is that I have cleaned Jakes, Davids or a dogs vomit in my truck and old van probably a good 10xs. And I really miss leather seats on days like today.

No Sugar Added

Can you believe that there are people in this world who don't give thier children cereal with tons of food coloring and sugar? Well I do! But my kids think otherwise. Buying cereal today was frustrating. I clearly stated they could have these types of cereal with dried fruits in them or plain. And they kept bringing me boxes of Capt Crunch, Coco Puffs, Trix and whatever else they could find. I think the grocery stores should have to put all that junk up on the top shelves.LOL Even if it's just for my sanity. Once I figured out D had issues with sugar in the mornings I cut it out almost completely. Not even Nutrigrain bars because of the sugar content. He gets syrup on waffles and that is about it. For his morning intake of sugar that is. And we clearly have seen a difference in him. Now I know what my mom was talking about when she took my sugar cereals away when I was little. I just don't know why it has taken me almost seven years to figure out this boy. Oh well better late than never.

Sleep is overrated

Well, I finally decide to fix our bed yesterday afternoon. It has been squeeking for hmmmm probably a good 3 years. And I just couldn't take it anymore. I kept waking up at night when Darren or I would roll over. It sounded as if the mattress was going to drop to the floor. So I took the mattess and the box spring off and wouldn't ya know there was about 5 screws missing. I took the bed apart and added new screws and tightened the ones that were left. WAAALLAAA! It's fixed. So I was planning on getting a good nights sleep. Well David started throwing up about 7pm last night. So I left him on the couch to watch tv until Darren was ready to take him to bed. I had gone to bed around 10ish and was almost asleep. And I hear a whimper... man that sounded alot like David. So I hollared out.. DAVID IS THAT YOU!? No answer. The mom in me decided to get up and look anyway. Because I thought he was still downstairs. Well the boy was in his bed curled up into fetal position groaning. I look closer at him and he's gagging in his sleep. Next thing I see is him puking and thought OMGOSH grose D. He is the only person I know that can vomit and keep it all in his mouth. BBLLEEECCCKKK!!! At that point I'm yellin at him to get his rearend to the bathroom. (Makes me nauseous to even think about it. So I had to share... TMI sorry for those with weak guts). I figured if he was going to be that mental about getting to the bathroom then I would make him a bed on the bathroom floor. And that's where he slept all night. Unlike me up and down all night to make sure he was ok and had a little bit of fluids to drink.
Darren left for Colorado Springs this morning. He was bummed that he had to take himself to the airport. Because, right before he left David puked again. And I am not taking a sick kid out for an hour car ride.
Sunday morning has been pretty uneventful. The boys are entertaining themselves with video games because they have been grounded from them all week. And I am tired and cranky. As long as they're not bothering me or making too much noise we will have a great day. LOL Hopefully I will have more exciting news during the week. I have my weigh in on Tuesday evening. Crappy time I know. But I don't think I've lost much. Even with going to the gym almost everyday. PPFFTT! Tyler has his first football game on Thursday after school. That's the excitement here for the week.
