random crap. also could be considered updates on stuff.

the swing set. is done for the most part. the swings are on, the slide works. the roof is on, whats left? the anchors holding it to the ground, AND the telescope, and steering wheel. and the tarp thing over the top windows. pictures will come when I'm good and ready damn it! kidding, i feel like it has to be all the way done and the yard picked up and kids dressed with semi clean faces. last night, they were playing in their nightshirts, and Pierce had a snotty face. so i didn't take pictures. plus it was dark. there are boxes all over from the packaging. i am making Lance take care of those too so after that , pictures will be posted.

i feel like the neighbors can hear me yell all the time at the kids. i can see the swing set from the computer chair so i just yell at them to stop fighting or to get out of the baby swing. seriously 7 year olds shouldn't be in there. the windows and doors are open. since the weather is dreamy.

um. dr. today. she wants me back there in 6 months for another freaking ultra sound. i thought for sure it was over. but i guess not for a while longer. dang it. but i will be switching DR.s and got copies of all the labs and reports from this office today. whoohoo on that.

the weather here is delightful! seriously it doesn't get any better. well I'm sure it does but i am loving it. warm afternoons, clear skies. i could seriously start laying out in the afternoon already.
not that i lay out anymore, but if i was thin i totally would. i try to avoid at all cost appearing like a beached whale. and that is the look i'm sporting. HOT HUH? tan ?why bother? although I've stated before fat and tan is better than fat and white. but in the end fat is fat. pretty for sure.you're jealous huh?!

AND it's spring here in AZ. i'm feeling springy. and feel compelled to buy spring apparel. Easter dresses are on my mind, and sandals too. how about you?
i've been looking but haven't found anything i super love.
i need dressy clothes for church and the standard Easter family picnic, cute casual outfits.

oh, hating the water fountain and the 18month old set on emptying it onto the floor. i took away the cup he was using and he started using a shoe FABULOUS.

the 9 yr. old forgot his homework folder today. and also had ELP so no class time, and called for his homework assignment, i and i ended up reprimanded. RAD . are you freaking kidding me?
poor guy and i'm feeling the stress too. i hate 3rd grade. oh wait i graduated from school. hmmm. still hating teacher induced stress. not looking forward to the next 12 -18 years. in that respect.

oh and genius that i am is teaching a hair bow class. for enrichment mini groups , stressing about that for no real reason except it's at my house maybe. we all know my house is a DUMP. i need to go clean and overhaul and drywall and paint, i did do the old man shuffle to mop today after the 5th spill on the floor. that's something right?

and my bed is calling me, i want a nap. why am i stressed?
i think its nothing a little baby cuddling couldn't cure, too bad my baby reeks like a dog, and outside dirt with a crusty booger face. i don't feel good about cuddling with kids that reek like dog. and dirty ones at that. EWW.


he's back to dumping water. gotta run. hope your day is fab.

I think crappy days are going around! I hope it get much better for you. I want to learn how to make hair bows! :) I think you should do an online tutorial too! And you don't have to have a clean house. You should see my house about now. Looks like a tornado hit!

I love that Pierce used his shoe to catch water. The kid is a genius I tell ya!! ;)

Andrea said...

YAY!! I bet the kids LOVE their new swing set big play thing!! You guys are so sweet for buying it & enduring the long labor hours to put it together.

Hair bow class?? I wanna come. When are you doing it?

Sarah said...

I saw the swing set and teeter totter at costco on Saturday and totally thought of you!! AND I so wanted to get the teeter totter, but I refrained.

I am always horrified when I've just yelled at my kids and then realize every friggin window in the house is hanging open. We don't have an exciting backyard, so it's rare to have to yell at them out there, but it has happened. And I've had the same thoughts about the neighbors hearing me.

Bummer about having to go back in in 6 months!

I was able to get my girls Easter dresses over the weekend, but was totally upset because TCP was out of the black bolero so they suggested ordering online. They even gave me a free shipping coupon which made me a little less upset, but then when I went to their website? They were SOLD OUT! I couldn't believe it! How lame, huh?

Hope you get some great sleep tonight! Sounds like you could use it!

I need help! I am new to Blogging and can't figure out how to do anything on this stuff! Jessica Millett can't figure out why I can't figure it out.

Why are you so stressed? Uhm... maybe because you have kids! LOL How is that our kids bring meaning to our life, and yet are going to be the death of us? Oxymoron? I think so.

I hate homework and I don't think it is fair that my kids gets punished for my bad mom behaviors! Teacher induced stress indeed!

You freaking crack me up! Wish we had your weather! We are finally getting sun in UT and all I have is MUD!

Susie said...

Enjoy your weather--and for the record tan is slimming--no matter what size the swimming suit is......
I love how creative the little one is--"fine mom, no cup? whelp that's why God created shoes!" brilliant!!!!!!
Enjoy the swing set! Can't wait to see the pictures--snots or not--I bet they will be awesome!

tammy said...

I'm loving the weather too. And the flowers I just planted. I'm LOL about the shoe and the water. He's inventive. We're having a bow class for enrichment too. Next week in fact. At my house, too.

Jamie said...

YA, so sick of bugers!! Really wish I had that play set!! sometimes I wonder what the neighbors are thinking too when I bark orders from the back door. I figure if they think they have a better solution then they can come over and do it for me! Good luck with the bows!

Debra said...

Sandals? Not thinking about them here :-( I WISH!! We have 8 inches of snow on the ground still!
