POWER!!!!!

Wow with hurricane Irene hitting our area we lost our power for about an hour....... not bad at all but then the next day (sun) the winds were crazy strong and knocked our power out until just about one hour ago!!! Awe life is good hehehe!! My food spoiled my wash left undone including Dave's work clothes so he went to work with an old set of work clothes decided well we will eat from the grill still, but oh so nice to be able to use the washer and dryer the lights to power up the laptops it's just crazy how we take little things for granted. The up note was we camped out in the family room sleeping. My back is sore my neck stiff but all in all we are all good like i said before life is good!!! sorry I have to go gotta get those book bags filled with school supplies!!!

Must be doing something right..... for once!!!

Well I must be doing something right, my kids came to me with their learning boxes and asked to do work!!! I don't home school but i do keep them current for the coming school year. We basically go over what they learned in school all year . They do math reading and flashcards of words for all of my babies and alphabet flashcards for zoey along with number flashcards. I try to make it fun and um yes fast to keep all interested. It is raining and thundering out nasty I totally dislike the thunder part but really don't mind the rain too much. The kids actually folded the clothes and took them up for me and put them away! So nice when they get along and help out sometimes i want to pull my hair out when they fight!!! I always say hey guys when me and dad are gone and your friends aren't around your family is all you got to hold you up! I do hope one day that comes across and they realize i was right!!!! Zoey is super excited to start school she was just crying a bit because her sister said we have seven days until school well apparently she wanted to start today! well that's all for now.

License To Drive!!!!

Well it's official my son David passed his driving test. He has had the same guy for the last four times and yup you guessed it the same wonderful man hopped in the car today to give him his test.My thought was oh well he failed why bother well I'm so super happy to report that David is a license driver soooo stay OFF the sidewalks!!!!

NEIGHBORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been in our house for about five years now... it's been OK except for a couple of wonderful neighbors we were getting our lawn done by a nice kid who use to live on the street well i asked him how the neighborhood is and when he said well for the most part then raised his arm and pointed to the neighbor across the street i knew we should sell and fast!!! well the neighbor in question was outside when my boys were in the front yard playing street hockey with a plastic ball the kind you find in kiddie ball pits soon enough the older man was in my sons face i mean eye to eye who at the time was only fifteen screaming at him they cant play street hockey in the street it's illegal. well when this momma saw that i went between them an let that man know a few things......... I'm not the type that will just take crap without giving some back well the police came told the man they would be across to get his side the man then tells us all he has videos and voice recording outside!!!!! the officer looked at me and said did he just tell me hes been recording everything? as i stood there dazed and confused as to why he would the officer said listen you have your boys at home playing they are not out robbing or vandalizing any ones property and that street hockey being played in the street is in fact not illegal!!! the older man tried to say my kids aimed for his car and were in fact hitting his car well the officer said oh really show me your video.......... let's just say he had no proof and was told to stop calling for normal children playing in their neighborhood not just his neighborhood!!!! still to this day he records and i don't know if I'm correct when i close my front room window to give a few faces or not but it does make me feel better!!!

WORST SUMMER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have never thought in a million years that I would be constantly screaming stomping and just plain nuts!!!! This summer we did basically nothing but scream at each other they did a lot of back talking, slacking on chores and respect. I did a lot of screaming, punishing, crying unreal. My five year old is SO bad can you guess she is the baby and yes it is totally my fault!!! The rest are OK but gosh when they get started look out. School starts on the 31st of August and it will be bitter sweet because the baby zoey will be going to kindergarten and for the first time in almost twenty three years i will be alone...... although alone time is what i need sometimes i really just want to have my babies all around me at all times. well this is all for now from lonely in P.A.

CANCER SUCKS!!!!!

Well where do I start lets see...... my niece who lost her mom to brain cancer six years ago when her mom was 45 years old and my niece was only 23 well three weeks ago her husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer had one removed and all his test results showed the cancer has spread to his liver up his back and it is now in his neck. So my nephew is now fighting for his life he has nine weeks of chemo to go thru and now they are waiting for the doctors to read his MRI to see if it has spread to his brain. He is only thirty years old THIRTY I still can not wrap my head around it at all it just makes me sad to look at their beautiful almost two year old daughter.

SCHOOL starts Aug 31st my baby Zoey will be going to kindergarten so I will be sitting home that day crying like a blubbering jackass pardon my french but it really sucks when your babies get older really does they don't need you as much they use to think you made the sun rise well in my house the secret is out they think I'm nuts no kidding. we are also tossing the ideal around of moving to south Carolina or Texas still doing a lot of research on both i think we all need a change!!!! just hope the kids think its a good idea!!!! just so much going on i feel like my heads going to explode!!! also I'm going to purchase the love dare daily book its a book that helps with everyday life.
