Many times my mom had told me to make sure I write down the funny stuff that Matthew would say...and of course I thought that I being the supermom who was madly in love that little boy would remember everything word for word...well, because I am not supermom I have forgotten a few " funny" things and maybe a few embarrassing things..
So the main reason I blog is to to keep my sanity now that I have my own bunch of crazies ( they are MY crazies!) living with me. I enjoy blogging even if none of my posts ever get comments. The second reason is to try and record our everyday lives. I am the lady who purchased over 500.00 worth of " stamp,scrap and crap stuff and SOLD it all. So, if my children move out and NEVER get a photo album of themselves and their baby books are filled only to 3 months, they will always have this blog to read. You might take offense to some of the "funny " stuff my children have said...but my friends this is for them not you...
I went to the bedroom last night and it smelled like throw up from last week! I mean it was sick..I gagged and my eyes where watering! what could that horrible smell be!? After I started to sniff every nook and cranny of the room I found her backpack! That was the smelly culprit...a Strawberry shortcake cup with Milk had been hidden in a pocket for about a month! YUK! I put the bag outside and had Jeremy open up the cup ( This my folks is one of the reasons I married this man!)and dump it out so I could soak it. Olivia noticed her bag and said...
Oh, man...the boys put my bag outside! I am taking it in! EWWW! what is that smell!? I know mom, the boys farted on it! the stinky boys farted on it! gross boys!
Just because they are 12 does not mean they do not say off the wall stuff...here is Matthew's week...
He comes flying up the stairs yelling...MOM!! MOM!!! I got it! I got it..I am so happy..
Son, what did you get? Calm down!
MY first 4 armpit hairs! They finally came! Look! FEEL!
That's cool..you have been waiting for them for 5 years...
Hey Mom? when do you think my voice will change?
And one more...Friday he informs me has his first girlfriend..I simply ask if he feels he is old enough for this. He gives me that " oh, don't be so dumb look"
Today he walks in and tells me has broken up with this girl. Why,I asked? She was already dating Ben and girls are weird anyways.

One of my many trips...
and falls...No seriously, I woke up happy to start the day as a family! we had a wonderful breakfast and where heading out the door to church. I had my purse and diaper bag in hand as I proceeded down the last step my leg gave out and WHOOP! I fell on the cement. I could feel the sound if pain and at that point I swear I could taste the pain! I layed there and cried...sobbing. I knew if I had not broken my ankle then my leg. It hurt so bad..pain shooting up my leg and to my toes! As I looked up there is my sweet girl Olivia telling me that I would be okay, just wait for daddy he can fix anything! Not wanting to ruin her thoughts I kept mine to myself...
I finally got up and crawled up the 3 stairs to the porch..holding my leg and telling them to go to church. Carter was screaming in the background , dog was pouncing all over me and Olivia was talking a million miles a minute. I could not gather my thoughts...Should I go to the ER? Should I give it till morning? Would the pain settle down!? The chaos around me was out of control and that my folks led me to the ER...Yes, I needed to go there but more then anything at the exact moment I need a "Break"...I called my mom ( good thing she lives 3 blocks away!) to come and watch the kids for us. Within 10 minutes she was there.
On our way to the ER I had Jer stop a the store to get me a drink...nope, not a Mikes hard ice-tea ( I really wanted a drink!) but a boring plain pop. We arrived and got checked in and 3 hours later we were in the room waiting for x-rays. During our little " date" we had the privilege of sharing a room with a few crazies...now, don't get me wrong..I love everyone! We did talk to these people but you could tell they were there for drugs. It was kinda sad and not very funny a few times.It was sad to think they lived everyday of their lives to get drugs and more drugs. I could see how their story was changing and how story after story was bigger then the next. Over hearing them talk about their precious baby boy brought tears to my eyes. My heart was heavy, the thought of Christmas coming and how cold it will be for this child when he is drug from one house to the next so these people could score dope. I listened as they talked about the babysitter he was with was not good and they did not trust her to care for him. How when they got home they would be at Walmart buying him something. Oh, my heart was breaking and some how my ankle was not important anymore. It hurt and it was throbbing but not they way my heart was breaking. I could not help but ponder why Jesus had put me in the room...I began to ask him what he was wanting me to learn. What kind of Divine plan did he have? I could only go back to Mikey...here we are with him 6 months later...how he has become one of us and how he loves it here. We consider ourselves lucky to be able to share in his moments, all the little moments that will lead up to the incrediable story of his life.
The doctor came in and told me that the x-ray was boring...I more then likely messed up all the ligaments in the ankle and may require a follow up with a specialist Doctor. But for now it is swollen, purple and green and hurts!
I was on the phone tonight with a friend and she had made a joke about how Jeremy and I find our dates in the hospital..I couldn't help but think over the last year I had been there over 5 times and 4 have required a stay.
Here is what my best fried sent me..
I'm glad that your foot isn't broken! Not that it's any consolation when you are hurting but at least it's only a few weeks recovery instead of months. We wouldn't have been very fast on Black Friday with you in a cast! :)
You have to love her...always thinking ahead!

Look what I made!
Olivia still is posting her Christmas desires on the fridge..ripping up whole magazines so Santa can see what she wants. We have ran out of magnets for her to hang all her wants.
As I was taking the picture I realized that the magnet I had used to hang up Carter's picture had read " Look what I Made" I thought...Yep, I made him alright and for 17 weeks I could not get out of bed so he could be perfect!

Nite..Nite
Here is how I found Carter John yesterday morning...He is such a stinker...I tried to lay him down for a morning nap. He was not going for it. I let him cry for 10 minutes because I knew he was tired from not sleeping at all the night before. I proceeded to get him up , put him in his jumper so I could sweep the floors for the second time that morning. I had just finished sweeping up the pile and walked into the living room where I found him...asleep. Good thing he stayed asleep as I carried him to bed.

Veterans day
Veterans day is not just a day that your life is put on hold because the post office and banks are closed. It is not just a day off of school. It is a day that we Honor the men and women who have fought for our country. The men and women who graciously signed up to fight for our rights and freedom. Our rights to travel, vote, wear what we want and they have fought to help other countries in need. No matter if you are Democrat or Republican or an Independent you have that right because men and women have fought for it!
We live in an amazing country no matter how messed up things are right now. So as you continue your day PLEASE stop and remember the solider who is fighting or the soldier who has lost their life serving for this great country..The United States Of America!
Cookies...anyone!?
After church on Sunday I went home to put on my pajamas..after a long night on Saturday I was tired! Jenn and I had signed up for a class at Treasury of Memories to make different Christmas crafts..yes, I need a class and step by step instructions along with a friend to help me!
Jenn came over after I had planned to do nothing all day with a big bag of cookie making stuff for the girls. I had to have 2 more cups of coffee before I could get into it..I know, I am a bad mommy for not wanting to make cookies..I was tired!!
The Girls had so much fun and even wore their matching " bakering" outfits as Olivia would say.Olivia loves to wear bakering aprons everyday to help me in the kitchen.
The cookies turned out good...when we let them decorate the cookies each girl went through 3 bottles of sprinkles for 3 cookies! YIKES! The sprinkles where 2 inches thick but Olivia is certain that Santa will like them in exchange for her presents. This Christmas will be very interesting..she is already consumed with presents...looks like I will be reading the story of Christmas to her starting NOW so she can somehow understand the real meaning behind the season.
Olivia is constantly changing her outfits..the Christmas dress was bought at the consignment store only because she wanted to put it on right then and there...she has worn it everyday since!
