Too Many Fingers In Pies

Notice the one day i take a photo the sun is out blaring through the windy,oh well won't complain,right.

O.k so my last post was about bitching about the state of the workout basement area. Well guess what i got over that pretty fast and decided to make a mess all of my own, which my husband has not bitched to me once about, and we say MEN !! make all the mess.







Well i am cleaning up the mess each day, but it's an eye saw of a hallway wall right now, as i have Spackle all over the walls, and trying to make all the little horrible holes in the walls disappear overnight.

Anyway most of the walls in my house look like the inside of a cave, but we keep trying, it's an old house what can we say. So now my project and my husband' s this weekend is sheet rocking and spackerling the hallway....yah!!!! lucky us, maybe this time i will get a pic up of the end result.

Working Out !!

This is my basement / workout Room

I've been pretty good about going down here working out at least 3 times a week, sometimes more. I was thinking about this the other day, that there is too much clutter down there.

How is a girl meant to be motivated to be thin like Gillian Michael's, is that her name from 'The Biggest Loser'. She's the ripped chick with the flat stomach that i want. Bitch !!!

I mean really come on,i know I'm gonna be there 1 day and about 50lbs lighter.

I have to say that since Thursday i have not been down to the dungeon, so I'm already slacking, and i keep asking my husband to tidy up his tools, and move stuff around down there as it's a cluster f**k as i would say. The big monstrosity of a fridge/freezer right at the end of the elliptical, i think not, what was that man thinking putting it there.

Maybe it was to save me from falling off the machine who knows. It's never gonna be a stunning room, but hopefully i can put another pic up in a few weeks with it a little better looking.

O.k done with my bitching, i have to go Roller Skating with my daughter and the Daisy Troop, so at least there's my exercise for the day.

Sleeping Angel 1

This is my other angel Devlin who we cannot see, as this is how he sleeps completely covered up with his quilt .He is about to be 8yrs old and truly has had alot of difficulties being bi-polar, and look what an angel he is sleeping.
I couldn't resist showing this pic ( sorry it's a little dark) but he always sleeps completely covered, and always lets the cat have his pillow, isn't he cute for sharing.

Anyway he was a little upset with stuff yesterday, mainly getting tearful about something or other, i think too many neighbourhood kids over may have made it a little over whelming for him.
Overall with his new meds, he's a new and happier kid. We have waited around 3yrs to say this about our son, bless him.

Anyway wanted to share that thought about how we get to feel about our kids driving us crazy,but at night they are our angels

Sleeping Angel 2

This is my baby Amber who is almost 6yrs old.

How funny is it, when you go check on your kids at night, they look like such sweet angels, no matter what has gone on all day.

We couldn't help but take this shot of Amber last night looking relaxed.

As she really is a testy character, oh and bossy, did i forget bossy, cause she thinks she's about

15 yrs old and has the attitude to prove it. Yesterday was no exception with her, being bossy to my son, changing the outfit a few times, complaining about stuff and that also that she was bored and constantly asking me whats for dinner and can we go out instead, nice huh!!!

My Loveable Hubby

I have a great hubby, i think he's the best. He is the most kindest, will do anything for you kind of bloke. Even when i'm laying on the couch and he's in the kitchen, and i yell out the old saying

"While you are in the kitchen would you get me a drink , please"

He always gets it, and i'm really bad at doing this to him, funny i could count on 1 hand how many times he's done it to me.

I went out to a Pampered Chef party last night for a few hours leaving him to watch a movie with our daughter 'Amber' as our son was at a friends. All is well and they had a good time. I always love hubby's don't always check things like us mum's, we never stop thinking about the kids.

1. Have they brushed their teeth
2. Did they pee before bed
3. Do they have their pull-ups on

It always cracks me up that my hubby is soooooooooooo good but seems to fall to the wayside with thinking that maybe :
He should of cleared out the popcorn from our bed sheets before i got home to lay in them for sleep time.

Then i go check the kids and give them a kiss good night, and as always pat their bums to check they have pull-ups on and hey presto !!! Amber doesn't have one on, even though hubby did remind her, Amber didn't do it.

But leaving it on this note a Mum Always Checks and Double Checks.......right!!!

Tell me about your hubby stories,The Good The Bad and The Ugly

Loosing My Virginity To Blogging !!!

I am a 35yr old woman who claims that i am pretty computer savvy. Well i seem to do o.k with downloading music, pics and being able to get around facebook fine. Better than my parents who are now just learning how to use a computer in their 50's ( and may i add doing a pretty good job at it too ) .

At least i have had alot of practise going through school using computers. Then i get introduced into blogging from a good friend who is an avid blogger, and wow what a world. I love it and the whole being but the html codes for making the page, way outta my league right now.

Not to say i won't learn and get better hopefully this side of 2009. So a big shout out to my friend Miss Blondie who helped set up my page today over a period of hours, Many, many thanks.

Craziness of being a mum

I am thinking that since i moved to the USA i have certainly met some of the crasiest people. Not to say it's all Americans, cause there are plenty in England too,but i feel it's the mum magnetic that attracts these people. I mean i get the strangest of people come up to me in Walmart,we'll maybe that explains it ,as my hubby says.
Anyway i even have a psycho neighbour that screams at her husband like a crazy lady...(well actually i think she is) anyway what grown hubby lets a woman scream like that,i mean i can hear her from across the street,normally it's about something i have or haven't done,so that tickles me more,i know i'm evil but i and my hubby can't help but crack up.I mean seriously is a good mum someone who lets their kid come over all day,BUT doesn't check on them due to the fact she's not speaking to me.I don't think so,and then when i take the kids over the road,due to a hurt knee to another kids mum's house,she flipped out,probably due to the fact i didn't tell her we were going.
Now i would love to take a poll,but am such a beginner here,don't know how to do these crazy things.So do people think i should be calling her up and telling her all if she doesn't check in on her son,not my responsibility i think.
Another crazy situation i think.Then to add it all up today my kids got a lecture from me about being respectful to me and their personal things,to then go pick up my daughter and get told that she had a bad attitude all morning and was not respectful.Does anyone else's kids react like this when something big is around the corner,i swear they do this every birthday,Xmas,Easter,any major holiday,it's like they can't cope with a great event coming.AHhhhhhhhhhhhh
I need more mums to vent too,but everyone seems too busy and my son always seems far worse than everyone else's kids,so that bugs me too.
The joy of an attitude 5yr old and a almost 8yr bi-polar child,mood swings ahhhhhhhhhh
off to clean the house and maybe later work out how to contact with other mum's on these blogs
