My mom...

is too funny. I told her today I wanted to set her up on Facebook because all her kids are on there with pics of the grand-kids and plus she will have friends on there too.

She declined!

She doesn't want to know what her kids are REALLY doing. I was like huh...I'm 40 what would I be sharing on facebook that would be so bad.

Okay that's fine. She says just send her the pics thru email, I told her that was way too much work and extra steps. I'm sure she rolled her eyes at me over the phone.

Oh well I tried!

Hectic Times but

we will get thru this! School is fast approaching and I still need to get Lil Mama her shots. Ugh I really hate going through this with her.

Lil Man is fighting us about cutting his hair and he is only 7! Right now its in such an awkward state, all curly and looking BAD. I'm all for your own style but looking good for school is important to me...and yes I said me, lol!

Hubby is actually working on a shirt right now that will be on a MTV video...so woohoo. He airbrushed a shower curtain and towels for a customer the other day. I wouldn't do that but hey whatever makes your boat float plus it puts money in our pocket.

We are at the beginning of SOCCER BANNER season. I sew the banners and Hubby airbrushes the artwork. We are noticing a drop from last year but we thought it would happen this year due to the recession. We are thankful for every banner we get to do.

House is under control but when the kids go back to school I'm doing some DEEP CLEANING around here. Maybe then I can accept that we will be living in this small ass house for awhile.

I'm going to spend more time on this blog and making it look nice.

Vacuum vs Computer

Does anyone out there like to vacuum? I do it almost everyday and its not because I want to but because my kids are messy. Yep blame it on the kids. I've asked them to vacuum but of course its not good enough for me. I let them but a couple hours later I go over it just because its not up to my MOMMY STANDARDS ssshhhh don't tell them that. I try to vacuum everyday but some days I just don't want because I'm spending too much time online. If I had to choose between vacuuming and computer time...guess what I will pick. I was vacuuming tonight thinking about all the other stuff I would rather do. No wonder I spend more time on the computer than cleaning...its a lot more fun! I try to balance my time but yes I do have issues on that. This is one of the reasons I do this blog. Help me FOCUS. I know I'm not the only mom who has this issue,lol!

It's Monday-Good Start

I got up this morning and had 2 cups of coffee then got my ass up to do the WiiFit. Half way thru my mom calls so I sit down for at least 30 minutes talking to her. She had some great news about her future so it was nice to hear that.

I went back to the Wii and finished. Then played with the kids for awhile or actually played until the Bad Azz kids next door came over. The kids will drop anything to play with these kids. No idea, WHY! They are so mean my kids that I actually cringe when they come over. That's not a good feeling. I cleaned for a little bit but not much since its MONDAY, my rest day.

I was suppose to get my hair done today but I just wasn't feeling like going out and dealing with people today.

I got some work done plus played on Farmtown. My new addiction....Farmtown, not good. All my online friends including myself are getting in trouble by our hubbys. I justify it because he plays xbox for hours...well now I have an addiction. But I need help, lol!

What I need to do this week:

* research on my other job...training-classes.com.
* keep up with mtmt
* ty email to banner resv
* entrecard
* WiiFit m-f
* Meeting w/stuart on Wed at 5
* Zumba-Wed 6:30
* Dr appts
* print invoices
* craigslist-soccer banner
* write the team handbook
* work on this blog

I'm sure I might add more and will cross off when I complete tasks.

I'm watching "Dance your ass off" I want to be on this show. In the past 54 days I've lost 6.7lbs. The wii fit told me that this morning. I can't believe it because I was doing nothing but keeping up with these kids.

Back to Blogging

I really need to keep this blog updated because I have a lot to say!

Starting Monday I'm hoping to get a lil bit more organized and this blog is in my top ten things I need to do every day.

See ya soon!

I love Coffee!!

My husband told me the other night coffee is not a FOOD GROUP. WHAT?? What is he trying to tell me, that I'm a lil cranky, lil jumpy, and doing way too much. But I love COFFEE!

I would have coffee 3 to 4 times a day if my tummy would agree with me but it doesn't. Last week I was running on coffee because I guess I was too busy to eat. Wow not good! The kids were fed just not me. We were very low on food and as the mom I will always feed the kids first! I do skip breakfast almost everyday. When will I get it thru my head that I need breakfast. Well thats something I will work on someday, lol! Soon I promise.

Coffee Rules! LOL

Wow its been a month....

since I posted GEEZ I must be a bit busy. No worries I have a whole page of things I need to talk about. I have my trip to WA to see my grandson (who is Andre now not Andrew), Lil Mama's 5th B'day, things my kids have said or done, and just day to day stuff I want to share.

I've been staying busy though. Working at the cafe on weekends, running a house, working online w/my bargain site, keeping up with my mom forum, working for training-classes.com approving apps online (love this job), working at Lil Man's school 3-4x a week for at least 4 hrs a day, and my biggest project now is running a scholastic book fair.

I'm tired just writing that down, lol! Anyways I have 3 minutes before I need to wake the gremlins so I'm going to enjoy the last couple minutes enjoying the quiet and drinking my great cup of coffee.

Write more later! Peace out!

Leaving for WA trip TODAY!

I'm tired but I have soooooo much to do. Its hard packing and remembering what everyone wants to bring. Basically trying to make everyone HAPPY! I don't think I've ever been so caught up on my laundry in 3 yrs though...lol! Oh my did I just admit that.

The kids were so excited last night that they couldn't go to bed. Hubby was a bit upset since this was our last night together for 9 days. Sorry honey!

Lil Mama got her very own DS yesterday so both kids will have something to do on the plane/airport.

I'm bringing my comp so I'm hoping to do work plus post fun stuff on here.

I get to see my grandson....I hope. My grandma's 90th B'day and my dad's 60th B'day all in one week. We will be busy but its so worth it!

Well off to do more work...a moms job is never done!

Baby Andre's 1st Day w/Great Grandma

Well I became a GRANDMOTHER on March 29th...woohoo! His name is Andre Aidan and is just a cutie (like is grandmother of course).

My mom went up to the hospital to get some pictures of Baby Andrew's first day. I live in Cali and they live in Wa so I couldn't go see him but bless my mom's heart she went up there for me.


My Mom and Andrew



Cutie....I know! LOL.

Welcome to this world Baby Andre. I'm coming up to see you on April 15th!!!
