So, Spring time is a crazy season for me. There are weddings, showers, baseball, tball, riding in the mountains, end of school..you know all the fun stuff crammed into just a matter of a few weeks. I haven’t forgotten about my blog and I will have a lot of reading to do when I finally do catch up but I will be back. Oh yes I will. 
I already have my next blog planned out in my mind and it has to do with taking trips. A lot of them… 
.
Hope everyone is well!
I went to Memphis last weekend with my sister and my mom. It was a blast. My husband was being super nice about me going and the night before I left I finally seen one reason why.
Our new family member Smokey. He is 5 months old and all puppy. He sends me this picture saying that Trixie and Smokey are getting on well.
I took this picture this morning. Sure, babe, they are getting on so well I want to shoot them haha. They love eachother (or are learning too). I’m glad my cat is declawed infront or I’m pretty sure he would take Smokey out in his sleep. He is a siamese you know. He’s ninja.
Any time someone calls me names and I’ve been called a lot of names. It is like this sign is mocking me every time I take the kids to school and no matter how many times the kids see this sign they have to point it out..
It cracks me up. How hard could it be to take a sign down for a dip in the road that isn’t even there anymore?
I went to my parents today to get my dog and the county was mowing the side of the road. I can’t believe they are actually mowing. I’m glad they are but don’t look at me like I’m throwing your whole day off when I have to go around you. I drive a small car. Could you move slightly over so I don’t have to four wheel my car thru a ditch?
I also had to buy two new tires today. I got them at Walmart because they had them in stock. They were $78 each and my total came to $215. Yes, you do the math on that. I didn’t realize new tires didn’t come with valve stems.
I’m done complaining for the moment. I am so ready for my 2 days in Memphis this weekend. My Kindle may have died this week but I’m looking forward to rereading some books (yes actual books) so that I can finally read the last in the series.
Hope everyone is having a better week than I am.
My kiddos have a lot of things in common but they are still their own person. My fave difference that I discovered today…
He was really impressed how flexible his brother is so he tried and tried to do the same. We couldn’t quit laughing. Some people are just not made to bend but you could never question the determination!
Believe it or not he got his bendiness from me.
Well, it wasn’t really free time. I should have been cleaning house. Especially since my water company is awesome and they turn the water off randomly and today is the day it will be off for three hours. Don’t they know I have laundry? If they read my blog they would. Ha ha. Anywho, my parents bought a new side by side and it was in the 70′s yesterday so we spent our day riding in the mountains. Well, we call it the mountains but Oklahoma doesn’t have any mountains (that is your useless knowledge for the day). We used to have the largest hill but I think they found a taller one somewhere.
Okay, I’m done rambling. It’s time for pictures. Yay!
Mom taking pictures as we rode up.
We drive this creek bed all the time. I was surprised by all the water.
Can you see the bath tub? Out in the middle of nowhere. Cracks me up.
Slick Rock. Correctly named yesterday for sure.
My dad in his new ride.
All in all I don’t regret my choice to leave the confinements of my home and wander into the woody woods. I just wish the water would have been warm so I could have taken advantage of that bath tub. I kid I kid.
I don’t want to clean. It’s a never-ending horrible circle. If you think about it when you get really excited about finishing all the laundry unless you are naked you are not done at ALL. And if you are married to my husband with my two children then you are for sure not done. You have 10 lbs of mud coming to your washer at any given moment.
Well, I better get off here and get to cleaning. Maybe just maybe..I will get to enjoy it for a little bit before the heathens get home from school. Oh, I just had the best idea. We will leave as soon as they get home ha ha ha ha.
Last night husband says:
Will you set your alarm for 4 am? (I don’t mind setting it. I always do when he has to go to work.)
After a night of sleep Husbands alarm clock goes off at like 3 in the freaking morning. That is fine but then he rolls over turns his alarm off and ON goes the lamp. He trudges to the bathroom (leaving the lamp on) shuts the door and gets in the shower. I pass back out and then MY ALARM GOES OFF. Husband comes out of the bathroom, into the closet, flips the light on, dresses, and then sits on the end of the bed to pull on his socks. Turns all lights out and goes to the living room. About 30 seconds later I hear boots stomping through the house and he’s back in the room looking for I’m pretty sure his Leatherman (a multi tool knife that is attached at his hip (usually)). So, I tell him I love him and to be safe and he is out the door. It’s probably getting close to 4:30 am by now. He pulls his truck next to our bedroom window with lights shining and I have no idea what he is doing but it seems he is there forever before finally pulling down the driveway. I lay there and lay there. My dog comes and gets in bed with me and I suppose around 5ish I finally pass back out before having to get the boys up for school.
Say that it was me having to get up:
My alarm goes off I get up and use the light on my phone to try to make my way through the bedroom, stumping my toe at least 3 times, cussing under my breath, and before finally fumbling into my bathroom and shutting the door. Then stumping my toe (AGAIN) on the way to our closet, shutting the door, and then turning the light on and getting ready in the closet. Sneaking like a ninja out the door and I would be gone.
That is all. I can’t gripe very much..I mean the man is getting up at 3 in the morning to drive 3 hours to work but I just wanted to point out the difference between my husband and I because I’m sleepy and cranky.
At 5:30 this morning I was in my husbands recliner, watching reruns of Will & Grace, enjoying my Valentine present. I had an hour all to myself. You never realize how sweet that time can be until you’ve had kids.
My husband is awesome.
And on a side note..Have you seen these?
It's so pretty..
So, we live in a state where you can only buy 3.2 % alcohol in the stores. There really is no point in buying this in Oklahoma unless you can get it at a liquor store. I know because it was bothering my husband so he called Bud Light (this isn’t the first time) and found out all about the new Platinum Bud Light.
Hmmm, the pretty bottles might explain why I was up at 5:30 am enjoying a Snickers. Ha ha.
And I don’t mean venereal day!
My husband and I were talking about this the other day. How did it go from flowers to electronics and such? So, I didn’t even really prepare at all this year. I got him a card and I’m totally letting him watch his shows and I haven’t rolled my eyes once. And if he plays his cards right there might be a little something extra later. I doubt it but you never know. I am feeling lovey dovey today. :) And this evening he is going to cook me some wild hog. Yes, that is correct. I have never tried it and he’s never cooked it so this could be interesting. Don’t worry I have wine.
I also had a very smart idea this morning. I woke my children today with huge Hershey kisses. Why is that smart? Well, I bribed my spazzo child with it and he got ready for school without one complaint. He was so excited about his massive Hershey kiss and school party that he didn’t complain about getting out of bed, putting his clothes on, or when I sprayed him with stinky stuff (Axe body spray so he would smell nice for the ladies). I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal to you but with the oldest one I could whisper his name from my room and he would be up and ready for school in 10 minutes. The spazzo takes like 40 minutes to put a shoe on (notice A shoe not TWO). I was very excited when he just jumped up and got ready without making me a spazzo also.
I also have a Valentine and it’s not even my husband. I let Spazzo have his first friend stay the night a couple of weeks ago and his little friend told his teacher that I am his Valentine. I should have got him a huge Hershey Kiss. Man, I’m an awful Valentine. It’s cute now but when the kids are older it will be awkward having all their friends wanting to be my Valentine mwhahahaha. I kid I kid.
Everyone should have something special so I even let our dog Trixie have one of the boys army men. She isn’t enjoying it as much as usual because I gave it to her and every time she starts chewing she looks at me wondering if it’s okay. I am even going to play fetch with my cat later. Of course that is more entertaining to me than him but he loves the attention.
So, Happy Valentine’s everyone!! I hope your day goes lovely and if you don’t get flowers I hope that you find some money on the ground, get to watch your DVR’d shows, someone gives you an army man to chew on, or plays fetch with you.
At the supermarket not to long ago as I was standing in line and I spotted People magazines best and worst issue. I don’t usually buy People because it’s not trashy enough for me but I was feeling frisky so I grabbed a copy.
Anyways, I’m reading through and I get to a section “Heroic Stars” and it is talking about how Kate Winslet carried Sir Richard Branson’s mom out of a burning home, Brad Pitt consoling a suicidal actor in a crowd, and how Ryan Gosling broke up a street brawl. BUT MY FAVORITE isn’t any of those, oh no, it is the Gwyneth Paltrow mention.
“In August a woman said Paltrow saved her on 9/11 by nearly hitting her SUV-delaying her commute to the World Trade Center.”
Really? Really People magazine? This is the best you can dig up? Were you just trying to put an even amount on the page? How can you compare Kate Winslet carrying a 90 year old woman out of a BURNING home to Gwyneth being a bad driver. I know the lady is thankful and she should be but I don’t think it made Gwyneth “heroic”. Maybe, I’m wrong…wait no I’m never wrong especially about this mwhahaha.
