The other boys

I finally found out Christian starts his Pre-K next Thursday. He is very excited. I like having kids that actually still look forward to school!




As for Kaelen, I really dont know about his first day. He is currently living with his mother. Who, believe it or not, lives 1/2 a mile from us. If I tell the soap operatic story here, I will say things that are ugly, so I wont tell the story. Its like a bad nightmare.


So, hopefully, Kaelen will get to school dressed and fed..or actually, hopefully he will just get to school.....:-)


Here is a pic of my ever loyal dog Hector....

Schools in!

There was a time long ago, and I mean long ago, where I had it together. I could remember anything and everything, I never paid a bill late, I didnt lose everything and I was early to places.

I am none of thise things anymore. I remeber nothing, I bill most bills late, I lose everything and I live in an altered reality where I think it takes less time to get places than it actually does.

Today my baby started the third grade. Really? Good grief...it just isnt possible.

And my baby, didnt want me to walk him to his classroom (not that I had much choice being I got him to the school as the bell was ringing).

Here are the pics he would let me take of him.

I got this one before he realized what I was doing and smiled instinctively.

No, he isnt crying, this was me trying to make him smile

This was him getting tired of me trying to make him smile.

Here is my new do, or some of it....

Whacked it off and got bangs, which I regretted 5 minutes after I did it, which happens every time I get them when forget how much I hate them.

I like it over all, the bangs are really annoying me...

A Breather?

The last 2 weeks have been RIDiCULUS with work. This is what happens when they fire everyone and everyone else leaves for greener pastures. Good grief... It appears I have a small moment to actually take a breath....

I am getting very excited for summer to be over with. I much prefer having a schedule with the kids, I could have a schedule with them during the summer, but that requires too much effort on my part..so, yeah, I will do it when I only HAVE to. LOL.....

Haden won the Air Hockey Tournament at his daycare yesterday, he got a little medal. I am so proud of him, especially because he is so competitive! I have to take him down a notch or 2 when we play Wii or Board Games...he seems to feel he should be able to Bowl a 300 in real bowling because he can on Wii...and he thinks he can throw 98 mph b/c he can on Wii baseball...I love him being competitive...I think it will make him work harder for things he wants in all aspects of life....unfortunately, I think many kids his age will not be competitive..why should they when they get trophies for just participating and schools dont expect more of them..anyway, dont want to get on that rant....

Christian's teeth are still in his head, seems they tightened up pretty good at his last checkup, just a wait and see, I dont want to pull them unless necessary..and they should be coming out on their own by Kindergarten

Good news, I will be able to go back to my regular in home sitter in a few weeks, thank goodness, we have missed her so much. Daycare just isnt my forte.....

I have no pics to post, because that would require picking up a camera....

So please enjoy the ridiculusly old pics of me and others in high school....I remember thinking the higher I could get the poof on my head the better....LOL

"FAIL" Thursday

I still continue to be amazed when people or organizations do real bone-head stuff, it just seems people do not think at all before doing certain things



The Tea Party



I like what the Tea Party stands for - stopping the ever expanding govt, stop raising taxes, etc.

But seriously, what dumb a*& thought this was going to get their message across











I am not an Obama fan by any means, but I dont think he is like Lenin or Hitler...come on! You didnt think this would reflect negatively on the entire party? FAIL


The Department of Justice (DOJ)




I was floored when I heard that the DOJ had dismissed the case on the individuals in this video.


Voting Poll


I was even more floored when an additional video was located on the individual holding the night stick


Kill


Are you kidding me? If this had been a white guy, there would have been a very fast trial and he would have been put away. Unreal. I still cant believe it every time I hear this...why isnt this guy in jail for hate speech or intimidation or a terroristic threat..


DOJ - You FAILED!!!



Obama (or whoever handles the stimulus money distribution)

Signs, Signs, Everywhere are Signs

Sigh...I dont even know what to say....you dont think 15 million or even 5 million could have been spent on something else??

"Tired Mommy" Thursday

Again, it wont let me move pictures...weird.

OK, today was the zoo, in the rain!!

We were planning on going on Wednesday, but it was raining..since the weather was the same today, I thought what the heck. We had an umbrella and that is all we needed...there was some standing water...and the rain came and went and came and went again and so on....it was nice actually, there were very few people there AND it wasnt sweltering hot....it was pretty nice....

Meerkats wondering why all of the stupid humans are standing in the rain looking at them

Baby elephant.....ahhhh...

Giraffes are always cool

Boys in the rain

"What's Up" Wednesday

Wow, we have been busy.

I couldnt move the pictures for some reason, so this is kind of out of order.

Here is Christian at Chuck E Cheese...feeling pretty good.

On Tuesday, we went to Kemah Boardwalk...I LOVE the sting rays, here are some pics of us feeding them...I wish I could have a tank of them in the backyard

Smile!

Haden on one of the rides...

Boys on the train!

I got Christian to the dentist on Tuesday..he definitely fractured one of the roots and the other is pretty close to being fractured....he will more than likely lose the one tooth, possibly both....

You can see some blood on his lower lip...

Good thing the dentist office has arcade games (Ms. Pac Man and Donkey King...I love it!) and a train that goes through all of the rooms....very good distraction for the kids

"My Kids" Monday

So, I am off for the whole week, took vacation to try to do a few fun things with the boys.

Yesterday, at my parents, the kids were playing in the little pool and Christian got hit in the mouth, in the front teeth by Hadens head...sigh...it was horrible, blood was pouring, he was screaming, it took a bit to get the bleeding to stop...he would not stop screaming...I wanted to throw up I was so upset...both of his front teeth are loose...if the teeth had been his permanent teeth, I think I would have had a heart attack...he didnt eat anything all day today until about 9pm. His gums are black and blue and it appears there is some bleeding still, lots of blood clotting right at the gum line, I was finally able tonight to get some of that blood cleaned off, because until then, he has not let anyone near it. I have been giving him water by dropping it from a straw..it is horrible, if he doesnt lose those 2 teeth, it will be a miracle...I will be calling the dentist first thing to take him in...it hasnt stopped him much though, he has been running around the house and we even went to my cousins and went swimming...oh, and he played on the playground at McDonalds...

What is even more amazing, I figured they must have hit really hard to knock christians teeth loose, so hadens head must be hurt too....uh, no...not even a mark...that kid has one hard head...

So, yippee! Keep ya posted..
