Thank you Easter Bunny!!

Well I got lucky and the candy and eggs made it to the baskets... yippee!! We got yard work done. I fell off the brick wall in our back yard . We visited grandparents and family. All in all it was a very nice Easter break.

Hip to the Hop

Well life goes on. Easter is a week away and I still have no Hop in my step. Hopefully I am able to gather up a basket full of goodies by next Sunday. :) I keep thinking I will be better at updating this and uploading pictures but that too seems to go undone. I had a interesting talk (whining session) with Brian the other day and he helped me to realize a few things. All things we want can happen, if we just do it. So..... I think I will blog more. My kids are all in school now and there is no reason that I can't. It's only that I don't. I get caught up on other things that I don't really want to be doing ...... Anyway, stay tuned. I will let ya know next week how Easter turns out and by doing that I will also be blogging.. Yippee Two birds w one stone.

holy hell here we go again.... ok i know i said this before but this time it's real.. new blog new out look go follow me and Jt at "wearenotplayinghouse.blogspot.com" could be the funnest thing you do today..lol

Let The Wind Blow

For a month or so now I have felt pretty in control of things. I have my chores done (including laundry) and crap is just falling into place. Then it started happening .... oldthat slide back into the rut. I noticed it this morning as I moped from the couch into the kitchen to make school lunches and realized i still hadn't got bologna.... *sigh* " just have hot lunch" I told them Hayden was super excited about that good news.... I wandered back to my bedroom and found my better half taking a shower (lucky guy ) I thought as I envied his peaceful ALONE self grooming time... we have a huge mirror on the wall close by so of coarse I saw myself and the truth stared me back in the face.. " I can tell I'm depressed , look at me, look at the shi# laying around, things are starting to get lax again." "it's not bad"husband answer so he wont have to hear me complain " eew, yes they are.. Look at my skin. I look like crap lately.. seriously wth.. (pulling at my cheek and leaning close to the mirror) I don't feel like doing anything cuz I don't feel that woo woo I'm awesome feeling." "yeah I don't feel like that much either."

I was frustrated as I pulled on my Awesome sweat pants and kick ass hot pink t shirt to go drive middle school carpool... they better not judge me ... I made it back safely and was set on making this day amount to something.. I text JT and told her I suck and we need to fix it, so off to her house I went.. Shes a good fixer..lol

While there I got a call from a friend and we all talked about Boy problems... and how the wind just gets taken out of Ur sail sometimes.. Seriously sometimes ya really do think maybe jumping in and swimming might be easier.. hahaha Well after a long day of back and forth friendship fluffing I realized something very, very important... as i lay next to my other half on our huge (I can't see you from way over here) bed. (after having a few touchy topics come up/ that didn't turn out so great) I realized... He must feel like he is paddling up stream all the time. He must look at our house and not see crap laying around but instead see huge payment he needs to come up with.Or watch me sulk out the door to drive carpool and see me drive away in his dreams of owning season tickets but have turned into a gas fund... he must lay back at night and just wish the wind would blow really hard so he could rest his arms for a bit...

I love my husband. He isn't perfect. He fights with me over really stupid crap . He does however, paddle our boat and makes sure we stay sailing......... lets all pray for wind.. lol

Amazing new Friend Awesome New project !i!i!

The kids left me..... :'(
Having someone with you during every part of your day (even in the bathroom) seems overwhelming... till their gone and your alone.......
I floundered <<<<< big word usage there around for a Day or two, I really didn't know what I should do with all my time. I had looked forward to this day for so long. Thinking I would have so much time for my stuff (write my book) and fun things. (as you can see it's 1:30am so,not true) really tho I was like a cat that had lost her Kittens.. I wandered around my house .......went and saw a friend .....made it home just in time for Drake to come home... NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE DAY!
As you all know a house of Chaos is a house of Contention and a house of Contention is a house of Fighting!

Our house was in chaos. like the Amazing wife I knew I could be I figured out a plan to fix this BS......
lucky for me,my new friend Jennifer aka JenWow needed help with stuff too... so the next morning our MOMNESS was of the chain... we made a Homemakers Spreadsheet that is crazy organized ( I've read lots of books about it so we took a bit from each) lol
as we started putting things on paper we realized how awesome it would be to share this crap with other moms.. so Taa Daaa our Blog was born "My mom is better than your Mom" its been fun staying on task ...getting shiz done... life honestly has run smoother... things are clean in this house that haven't been in years... (that's sad I know) anyway, go check it out and follow us. It's gonna be fun!!! All the cool kids are doin it ;0)

Back to School

Summer went way to fast! The kids were all excited for school to start this year though so it must have been perfect timing.
We did have a very low key summer this year and didn't take any huge vacations..... but we had lots of fun together doing the simple things that made us happy.

Hayden started first grade this year. Davin aka SkinnyD is a big time 2nd grader. Beautiful Jayme is already in 5th grade. Time truly has sped up and only seems to get faster.

I didn't get a picture of Drake on his first day of 7th grade but he did look impressive... :O)

All in all the day went well. I am learning to be alone and how nice it is to get chores done and they stay clean (at least till everyone get back home) I hopefully will update this more often now and get back into writing. Someday I will finish a project I'm sure..lol... lots of love friends

14 down forever to go...

Time flys....... I am so lucky to have found a boy that liked me.. and turned into a man that loves me...









In our adventures so far I have learned so many things. I know this road can be bumpy. I know sometimes I want to run ahead or even grab Brian's hand and tell him to slow down . I know that I am lucky. I know that many times pot holes get the best of us. I know that this walk would be a ton less fun if Iwas alone. Nothing beats having a best friend to make this journey with.. (except having a hot sexy best friend ! which I do..) I am so glad Brian chose to be with me.. I am so glad that I have been able to watch him grow up. He really did walk into my life and had my heart the moment I saw him.I love you Brian Forever and ever..
