Surpise Fall Giveaway!!

I love to decorate for Fall!! The only time of year that I think my house actually looks cute!

let play catch

Typical day here at the nuthouse.

You know we lock our kids in their room for most of the day, letting them out for a few hours here and there. Today during the windstorm I sent them outside to play. Not really, AllStar had escaped with no pants or shoes on, Miss America escaped with a scarf and tap shoes ( umm..no clothes) and Teenager was fully dressed.

I had groceries to put away ( as I type this they are still not put away) and slacks to wash, dinner to make so I Yelled told them to come in and get dressed. Miss America came running to me and got dressed right away.

AllStar not so much.

So as I am trying to get my Old Navy weekly site to upload so I can score the 65.00 off of 100.00 coupon ( just so you know here my priorities are) I hear a scream and then a cry. the kinda cry where you can't catch your breath.
I look out side to see Teenager holding Miss America. I run out there knowing something is really wrong. I see blood. Blood everywhere.

What the hell heck did you do? Knowing full well My dear son had something to do with this. Just cuz I know this stuff about my kids. I see his eyes. He is scared. He is scared of what he just did and what I am about to do to him.

Well, whadcha do!!?

We where playing catch.

Really you threw a football at her face from 2 feet away?

I needed her to catch it.

I lost my cool. I sent him to his room till his band concert. I said the dreaded words " Wait till your father gets home!"

Poor Jeremy

I forgot to say that he left Carter in his swing screaming ( after he pushed him so high) he picked up a stick and swung it hitting his sister in the arm ( not sure if meant to ) all before deciding to play catch with a football and a 4 year old.

I am not lying people..this is the story of my life...

Sleeping kids

I have sleeping kids. I should be taking a nap.

Nope, I sit here wondering what I should do. Tackle the laundry pile that seems to be swallowing my basement? Clean 3 toilets that seem to multiply grossness every night? Clean a drawer out considering you have to body slam the drawer shut after you open it? How about clean the kids cup cupboard, you know the one that requires a hard hat before you open it?

I know, I know wasted days seems to be the topic of my posts. How can one feels so bogged down by such nonsense? I was out the door today by 8:45 and returned home around 12. Kids had a great day and I had a great morning. Now, I just can't seem to bring myself to pick up the Walmart toy flyer that has been strewn around the house by Miss America , in the hopes she can get everything in it for Christmas.

Now on to more productive stuff.

Facebook

Grocery store, so these kids can eat.

A nice rest.

Or how about finding slacks for a certain 13 year old who informed me today he needs pants for his concert tonight? He must like his mom to go crazy, yell at him for being irresponsible take care of his every need.

Not so skinny

I won't be wearing stirrup pants this year and the not so skinny jeans will never make a comeback in my house. At least not on me. I wonder though what It would be like to wear them again. I kinda want a pair of the Not So skinny jeans. I really, really do. Just to watch my fat push up towards my boobs and have no definition of a waist. I want to see if I have to cut the seam so I can get my foot into the jeans just like in high school.

I had a girlfriend in high school that we had to "help" her get her foot into the damn jeans and then when we did she would take a coat hanger and attach it the zipper and lay flat on her back and zip up her jeans. Man those jeans looked painted on. Not one inch to move. We must have looked like robots trying to walk.

I am not the most fashionable girl and don't claim to be. I love zip-up hoodies with tanks underneath. I have a a few dozen hoodies and tanks. I like comfort. I like to look like a mom who has no time what so ever to get ready, who puts her needs on the back burner. The mom who takes no time to shower and has enough food on her to serve a 5 course meal I am trendy and comfortable.

So skinny jeans are NOT for me but if you can pull them off in your 30's,40's, 50's,60's I just want to bow down to you!! My time is over to wear them..

Black Friday ads are coming up. I am in search of a new TV , camcorder , surround sound and a camera ( yes, we actually need all of them) this year. We have been holding off so we can be one of the crazies standing in line to save a few hundred bucks.

I am hosting Thanksgiving here this year. Neat ( she said sarcastically) I love my family and I love eating but hosting is so much pressure ( your in charge of the lasting life time memories) and the pressure make me Crazy!! I am going to do it and I am going to like it.

So I go this nifty coupon holder from my Friend Jenn. It rocks!! I am a coupon junkie. I still have not got the 50.00 off of 100.00 yet from Old navy but I will be trying again this Thursday. Thinking of staying awake till 12am.

I had a great Birthday. Best I have had since becoming Jeremy's wife. Yes, He rocked the birthday this year!! Flowers, cards, perfume, pajama's and he watched the kids while I went out with my friends.

Back in May went I went the ER and the bill was 4200.00 and just found out today my insurance does not cover it. Double NICE. Merry Christmas to me.

So what else can I fill you in on?

Carter put raisins up his nose this morning. I freaked out. Really I did. I got them out but now I am curious if he has one stuck in there.

Halloween .09

Had a very busy Halloween weekend. Olivia made for a very cute Thumbalina and Carter a Chicken. Matthew went plain and called himself the American teenager. The weather was beautiful and made for a great night ( no crabby momma) of trick or treating. Liv had more fun passing out Halloween candy then actually trick or treating.

Babysitters are hard to get so we didn't end up going out. W tried to bribe Matthew into babysitting but no such luck he wanted 50.00.

This weekend we are going to Disney on Ice. We are Super excited!!!
