I don't know about you but we are so ready for some warm weather. My kids are hating being in the house and so am I. I would really like to be able to use the park next door (literally)!! I know I always complain it's too hot, but right now I want out!! Ahhh It's sad to say but I would really like to play in my garden too!! Last year I let it go to weeds, I am bound and determined to keep it nice this year cause my kids love the food from it!! I know kind of a lame post but I needed to vent a little!! Where are you warm weather????

I just got this in my email. I laughed so hard because I can see this happening to my dad!! He is so forgetful and my mom often reminds him. I just thought I would share this with you. Thanks Carrie for the funny email!! Keep em coming!! If you want it bigger to read I think if you click on it it will come up in it's own screen!!

So I am just starting to "coupon" and I am really liking it so far!! I have posted some of the link I use on my page. They really make it so anyone can do it. I went to Kmart because they are doubling their coupons this week. I have been wanting the Soft and Scrub pads. They had a coupon for them in the paper a couple weeks ago. So I braved the weather today and went. Haha I got the last 5!! oh yeah for FREE!! If I were to go buy them it would have cost me about $15. I also got 3 Gilette mens body wash, 2 Dove womens body wash, 4 kids Reach toothbrushes. I handed her a $10 bill, and I still have $3 and some change. I got 14 things for less than $7 what??? That's awesome!! If you want to join me next time just give me a call!!

Yay!!! We went to Paisley Studios and ordered some cute stuff!! Can't wait to show it off!! Thanks Mom!!

And the award goes to........

So I've really been wanting "Mother of the Year" for along time now and yesterday I finally got it. To start off Race had been sick for a week and a half or so. I kept thinking oh he'll get better I'm not going to take him in he'll be fine. So finally last night I took him in. He had an ear infection!!! Oh great I kept putting it off and it really was something not serious but still an ear infection!!! The Dr. gave me a script and I took it to Walmart to get it filled. As we are waiting Race is hanging out in the cart in the back. He won't sit in the seat with the strap he can get out. I have a little snake I guess!! So I stop to look at something and PLOP!! Race fell right out of the cart!! He cried for like a minute then stopped with only one little bump on his head. So I just kept watching him to make sure he didn't act any different. This morning when he woke up he had kind of a limp but after he uses it he is fine. I think his poor little body is stiff. Ahhhhh that is why I think I should win "Mother of the Year"!!!

Come on who let's their kid fall out of a cart?? I guess this mom!! Other than that excitement I have an extremely stiff neck from picking Race up wrong. Life is always hectic and I have finally decided it never really slows down with 2 kids, work and cleaning along with everything else. You mothers that stay at home and have more thatn 1 or 2 kids power to you I don't know how you do it!! I guess to earn my title I better go rescue my kids from each other they are crying and fighting upstairs. Gotta go!!

For all you private bloggers here is my email: wildanimal9664@hotmail.com Miss Kyra you better add me quick I love to see your babies!!!

So I'm not doing so well with my once a week blog. Last week was a horrible week for me. Ok so lets start the week of the 15th. At work I can get 19 hours a week. I only had 9 hours that week and was very bummed because well.....I love money!! I almost always get at least 15 hours so yeah big difference. Last week I was only scheduled for like 3 so I picked up a few extras thanks mom for watching the kiddos. Then a guy at work gave me a few hours so things were looking up I had like 9 or so hours now. Then I got a phone call from a girl that was sick. So all in all I ended up with 36 hours. Not to mention I was fighting a horrible cold I really wanted to die!! Oh yeah the hours weren't what you guys do it was 6pm-6am. Don't get me wrong that shift is really not that bad, but I was sick and I didn't get enought sleep 4 hours between 2 nights um yeah and kids!!! oh well it's over and I already spent the money!! I got some new sheets that are so pretty Dark Chocolate Brown Egyptian Cotton 1000 thread count. I am so excited!! I am pretty sure I will be making up lost sleep when they get here (sorry Quentin they are your kids too)!!

Two weeks ago I decided to take on a big project. I have been painting the main level of our house and decluttering a bit!! In my house this is a huge project. There are many times I just want to take the roof off and dump my house out!! With 2 kids and a husband I gather lots of STUFF. Plus I am my grandmas girl I collect alot by myself!! Here soon we are going to finally start our basement remodel!! yuk!! It will probably take forever!! It will be so nice though it will make us get rid of lots!! yipee!! well thats all for now I better get doing dishes while Race is asleep he loves the dishwasher!!
