Allen Crazy...

I DO NOT like American Idol, they are so mean and degrading to the contestants so I choose to get as much negative out of my life as possible, that means TV shows as well. I am a little frustrated to the point that I had to write this blog post...today as I walk out my office door there are signs that say vote for Chris Allen...and then give the phone number. No solicitation apparently doesn't apply here. I get home and Kobie tells me for Extra CREDIT he has to vote for Chris Allen and have his parent write a letter. I will NOT let him vote (it's BEDTIME) and I will write in a letter...This is ridiculous...

I went power walking at lunch for a 3 1/2 mile span and felt great with the sun and breeze...went to the gym after work for step class; the weights, basketball, & even cardio rooms were EMPTY!! We even had girls leave the class half way through so they could go watch the results. What is wrong with these people??? I'm just so confused anyone want to explain this?

Nerdy Boyz

Adam says, Forget FLBA" (Future Business Leaders of America) Here is "FGA" (Future Geeks of America)...oh the wonders of technology...they were quiet while I took my Saturday nap.

Suburbia

After waking up at 4am to get to Conway around 6:30am To play soccer in the rain and mud. It was fun, stinky, but fun. Dylan was sliding in his crocs in the mud and lost his balance for a minute; slow motion fall was in progress...but he landed in a back bend, I still don't know how he is so nible. He does sit in the splits while he watches TV, maybe gymnastics is in his future?

We came home after the game #2 around 2pm I went down for a three hour nap, the boys played Sorry (The board game) and Adam watched a movie.

Then we get to tonight...
Well we have officially moved in to our new house. The pictures are hung, the neighbors we have meet and we are comfortable. So Comfortable that we kicked the balls over the back of the fence. Only to meet our own Mr. Wilson (real name: Bob)(he put just his head over the fence, and reminded us of Mr. Wilson off of Home Improvement) Kobie scaled the fence and said, "Hey mister, can you get that ball for us?, Thanks". Then they kicked it catty corner and the boys went through our neighbors house (who just happened to have company over) and into their back yard to jump the fence to go into their back yard neighbors yard; as they put it some old grandpa, who just got out of the hospital with a new shoulder (ow!) and he had on a baby blue robe. I sat and listened to the kids talk to the elderly man and introduce themselves and politely say we are new, thanks for letting us get our ball out of your yard. Adam and I were out on the back deck (he grilling dinner, I was rocking in the rocker) just sat in awe over how well our kids handle themselves with adults. Dylan scaled the fence back to our yard and hung like a monkey (literally swinging from arm to arm) ...it was hilarious. Welcome to the Neighborhood! Hope you enjoy our loud crazy boys.

Mother's Day

A Mothers Day wouldn’t be complete without screaming children and your morning starting off crazy. After all it reminds you as a mom, that you ARE needed. Our family went shopping to fill back up the fridge Saturday (I hadn’t gone in almost 4 weeks- with exception of fruit, milk, and bread). I had bought Jimmy Dean Sausage biscuits for the boys and Sarah Lee McMuffins for myself. I had anticipated being able to have breakfast in bed. After all the boys could read the directions. But every 3 minutes or so I heard a knock at the door, “Mom which one can we have”, “Mom how do you defrost”, “Mom can I drink the Orange Juice”, “Mom can I have two?”, “Mom can I wear this to church?”, “Mom, Mom, Mom!”. I got up, made my breakfast, helped the boys, and crawled back into bed. I had my breakfast in bed. I got up slowly hoping the boys would all be dressed, dogs fed, etc. NOPE! Goodness…Some days I think I need to awake 2 hours before any one stirs to get everyone out of the house ON TIME. Thankfully we live next to the church, so we did arrive on time. We came home after church and ate lunch and switched cars. Went to Lowe’s bought me a tree (Red Maple for the front) and a bunch of rocks for my pathway in the back yard. By 2pm we were at the Traveler’s game in our annual suite. This place is awesome. It felt like we had the entire stadium to ourselves, because people were clearing out due to the rain (no lightning- so they kept playing). My Brothers and I were able to be silly and dance…I’m pretty sure the New’s liked the company. We lost 10 -9 and I think 8 of our runs were “walk ins”. We sat down for our Sunday Family Night and curled up together on the couch. It was a GREAT Mothers Day! Regardless of any hiccups that might have occurred. Hope yours was a good one too.

ill

Well one day I vow to take better care of myself...for now I will do the best I know how.

Everyone comes before me,put your self _ LAST...well I did that, Adam on the other hand, went to the Dr. with a runny nose and got a shot and was better in 12 hours. I did NOT...I did the "QUILS" and still wasn't better.

Sitting at my desk on Friday morning I decided to get up and go into my supervisors office and ask if I could take off. If any one else had taken off for the day or afternoon then I would have to stay and deal with it. BUT as luck was on my side - I just had to stay through lunch relief and then off I went to the Dr's office.

What is it? Swine Flu...Kidding!!! They did have two reported cases of it at my local office. Tami Flu works great, and this flu is a mild version compared to what we saw this past February. People in Mexico aren't dying from the flu they are dying from Pneumonia and they do not have adequate health care.

NO I do not have Swine Flu I do have a sinus infection and an upper respiratory infection...hopefully by Sunday the antibiotics will have kicked this crap out of me and my body will be ready for the opening pitch on Mothers Day.

From the woman who thinks I'm super woman (mistaken she is- I do have a cryptonite)...Thanks a million, I laughed and laughed and replayed this video!


And no putting your hair in a pony tail doesn't replace a shower but putting on a ball cap does :)

Draino

Well we are in our new home...I'm mentally and physically drained, but can't seem to get some sleep around here. I think after soccer season is over the grandparents need to take the boys away and let me take some lunesta and drift off into a deep sleep...a sleep that when I wake up I will feel refreshed, energized, and ready to start the day, minus the 5 cups of coffee...one that will make me not want to snap every time someone screams (talks loudly)or tries to jump over the back of the couch (the only downside to not having walls)...I don't know that I'll be back to normal until my house is setup with pictures on the walls, and my menu plan ready to cook...We still don't have our fridge (They broke it, coming tomorrow) I'm tired of camping in a cooler.

Work has been great. My 1st day back after my 3 day weekend of ups and downs was hilarious...I felt great...and then I came home and had to go finish cleaning up the old house back yard. Just exhausted and praying that I get back to normal soon. I'm sure it has something to do with this 60/60 because some days I want to throw in the towel. Frustration is creeping in.
