Can I ride my bike?????

That was the number one question that came out of Ginny's sweet little mouth the moment she woke up. It is hard to believe but it was just Friday when all the summer toys were strewn across the lawn and the kids were doing their routine laps around the block on their bikes. Today is a different story. In fact when we woke up Saturday morning our story began and has yet to finish. SNOW, SNOW, and more SNOW. I will add a picture when I am sane again and return from our sure to be chaotic drive into the city.

Kids, teens, mothers and Recruits

I think it is fair to admit "I am going CRAZY!" Here are some things that I have had to deal with in the last week. I hope you find humor in them because humor is the only thing that helps me stay sane.

Monday ~ Was just that...Monday. Kids were ornery. Erin almost missed her bus. I basically got attitude from the minute everyone woke up until everyone went to bed. was lectured by my mother for not being in Church on Sunday and how if I don't go to church my faith is going to slip and before I know it Church will be a holiday event. Need I repeat I missed church on Sunday. Not every Sunday, just one Sunday.

Tuesday ~ All plans were made and I was taking a friend out with me to visit my parents. Totally forgot I had to babysit. Got lectured again by my mother for being preoccupied with Blaine and my family. No comment.
Ended up that my parents must have felt bad because they came all the way in to take us out for ice cream to Dairy Queen. I ended up taking Erin to the doctor to show her by no means does she have mono. 1 hr later the doctor assured her 100% that she does not have mono. She still insisted that the doctor give her a blood test just to be sure. Let me also make a note that it was just 1 hr prior to the event that she asked if she could have a bite of my blizzard.

Wednesday ~ Went by in a total blur. Forgot about hot lunch at the school and that I was supposed to prep and hand it out. Took a friend to the doctor and babysat her 2 yr old. Yes! I confess, we skipped AWANA. One less place to go and one less late night. I am such a heathen and I am teaching my kids to be one at that!

Thursday ~ Erin almost missed her bus again! Flee market at school. Keegan and Ginny were very thoughtful and bought me great treasures. Blaine came home early so he barbecued, used his whole cool and collective "How does that make you feel" speech when I decided to finally rant. Went to wal Mart to buy Malakai a new rubber sheet and now pull ups since he is still driving me nuts with wetting his bed. Then was left all alone at 9pm while everyone else slept.

Today ~ Was woken up at 5:30 with Blaine washing up and some neighbors music. Got lectured by my mother yet again..don't ask. Had hot chocolate with my mother in law and Malakai. Went to pick up my sisters glasses and then.... the bomb squad came in.
Erin went to a friends house under the rules of "you are never to be at home with a friend alone at any time." BUSTED! Not only was she at a friends house with no parents for 2 hrs.... she was at a friends house with no parents with an older brother for 2 hrs. Let me say that Erin has not arrived home yet but when she does.....well lets just say parenting a teenager sucks. Any advise???????????? Oh, did I forget to tell you? Erin's results came in...Negative to Mono. Go figure.

I love weekends.

Don't worry about a thing

After going a few places from a few peoples blog I ended up on some site making a playlist of some songs that would lift us up on our not so good days.

Seems like I wasn't the only one out there thinking like that. Apparently, a guy in Blaine's class brings in some music now and then and one of the songs that they seemed appropriate as their "theme song" was one that we already had on our list at home.

Yes..it is true... I got it off of I am legend. I found it more than fitting. So, if for some odd reason you wake up on a Saturday morning and think to your self, I wonder what Tammy, Blaine and the kids are doing right now, think no more.....

Crank up the volume for this one.....
