WOW FINALLY AN UPDATE!

Things have been crazy around here and I am going to jumble it all into one giant update.....

  • Elijah's orthotics are in and he is wearing them daily.  Although they are NOT half as bad as anything I imagined when the orthopaedist prescribed them, they still look a little odd.  Don't worry I have not mentioned this minor detail to my boy!  The weird thing is they are straight last shoe and completely interchangeable.  There is no left or right shoe until the longitudes and arch supports are placed inside.  It is rather odd to look at a shoe and not tell if it is right or left.....totally straight no curve on the arches!!  Crazy huh!  The problem with this is they are really wide and must be tied tight which he is unable to do.  You know how you pull at the strings that are laced to get the shoe tighter....well he just can't get them tight enough so if they come untied during the day then they are a mess when he gets home.  I need to find something to make them stay tied!  This little feature means they have the general appearance of being tied tight and narrow at the top then they look extra wide at the toe of the shoe......did that make since?  Let me think.......sort of resemble a clown shoe!  Oh that sounds awful!  Luckily, they look much better with jeans and fall is HERE!!  The nice lady also fitted the arch supports for his football cleats so we switch them out ALL THE TIME!
  • I love FALL!!  Although we had hot days this summer, Oklahoma BY FAR had a great summer.  Normally, we are in the 100s for what seems like forever but not THIS year!  Nope!!  It was so so nice!  Made football practice much easier on the boys!  HOWEVER, this makes me fearful for an extremely cold winter and I don't do cold!
  • Tez was having issues and ran away a few times.  Due to his intellectual disabilities, the police and counselors advised that we go ahead and let him live with his Mother.  He does NOT NEED to be with her and we feel as if this is just throwing in the towel, giving up and will destroy his future; HOWEVER, like they said, "short of tying him to the bed, we have no other options because of his mental state".  He should have never spent the summer with her because he was fine before he left.  The past can't be changed and I feel both remorseful and angry at the entire situation.  Everyone says he will realize everything we did later but with the environment he will be in.....I just don't see it happening.  I wish you all could understand just how strongly we feel about this being a bad decision BUT do you send a 15 yr old with the mind of a 3rd or 4th grader to juvi?  No!  He is a follower and not in "trouble" like the juvenile offenders in juvi so we don't want him influenced in that way.  They said it might "open his eyes" but they didn't recommend it for him.  I could go on and on about this topic but I won't because at the moment I am still bitter about it.  I feel this is an awful choice for his life.  For example, she took him out of all of his IEP classes because "he wanted to be in normal classes"!  Are you freaking kidding me?  He is intellectually disabled no matter how much she denies it!  That basically guarantees failure!  My 7yr old writes better than him and his handwriting isn't good!  His Math, English and Reading Comp skills are on a 3rd and 4th grade level and she wants to stick him in with on-level 10th graders!  His new school is full of thugs!  He now has a cell phone (big mistake for him) and an 18 yr old girlfriend.  He is in a house with no rules!  Ok I really need to stop b/c I am getting pissed that everything I did for him over the last 2 yrs is down the freaking drain and she will destroy him!  Lord, help me since now I am thinking juvi would have been a better option!
  • Isaiah is doing great in speech.  The therapist is awesome and anticipates he may not need the originally planned length of therapy.  They spent two sessions on K, two sessions on G and are about to begin L.  I love taking him and it is truly interesting to watch.  We were told he has mastered the tongue placement for those sounds and now we need to catch his errors during spontaneous speech so he recognizes his error and fixes it.  I am soooooooo glad I am getting this taken care of now and he is doing well!
  • Hubs and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday.  Although I said I was glad he married me with my two...yep read it folks....two flaws, he has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of these two flaws!!  Smart move Baby....very smart!  We have been together now for almost 9 yrs and all I can say is....time flies when you're havin' fun!
  • Still no internet at the house which leaves me with "I am switching to a cheaper service" regret!  We were told by three separate services that they don't service our area and one "measured" with no luck!  Ugh!  I may have to suck it up and go back to the original service before I experience death by internet deficiencies!!  That is a real medical condition.....I think!
  • Our football Champion boys are at it again.  So far they are undefeated and make us prouder every week.  I think my favorite part is listening to Elijah talk about the games.  He LOVES it!
  • I've come to the conclusion that I would be better off as a complete idiot!  I've been on a couple of more interviews through personal connections.  These people then call me saying the job really likes me!  Great!  I have heard this in every single interview.  We like you!  We love you!  bbbbuuuuutttttt you are overqualified!  Are you kidding me?  I don't need you to love me or necessarily even like me!  I just need you to hire me and pay me!!  This overqualified crap is just that.....crap!  That is liar for we just don't want to pay you what you are worth.  I DON'T CARE JUST PAY ME SOMETHING!  I understand the idea of working my way up but I need the opportunity!  McD's here I come!  My boys would LOVE that!!  I guess maybe if I act like a complete idiot, then maybe I will get a good job!  From past experiences, I know there are employed idiots everywhere even Doctors!! ha!.....remember Dr. Huang!
I think that is all FOR NOW but I have plenty other posts coming up with more juiciness!!  Wait till you hear about my experience with the racist wally world employees or a Halloween giveaway!

Let's try this one more time!

5 reasons I should NOT have cooked dinner Wednesday night

5.  I started making banana pudding at 2pm so it would be nice and cold.  I must admit I definitely had motive in this dessert choice.  The plan was to make banana pudding for Hubs since it is his favorite SO he would change the air filters.  I was not going to let him actually eat the pudding until after the filters were changed!  This plan failed miserably.  Why?  I forgot the plan!  While he was making a bowl for himself, he also made one for me and well we ate it!

4.  I put boneless pork ribs in the oven next.  I am queen of ribs.  They are so darn good.  While opening the package dated that day, I noticed a hint of a bad smell.  The smell was not strong so I rinsed them then put them in the oven for their hours of cooking.  The longer they cooked the more I could smell death; HOWEVER, when the kids got home from school they walked in and said, "What are you cooking?  It smells so good!"  I thought the smell must be something else.  One of Elijah's friends comes over every Wednesday until his Mom gets off of work.  When she came to pick him up, I asked her to come in and smell.  She responded with, "Why me?  You know I don't cook!"  I said, "Just walk in and tell me if it smells good or bad."  She walked into the house and said, "Mmmmm....that smells SOOOO good!  Are you making salmon?"  Ummmmm.....NO!  Not quite the smell you are looking for when you are making barbeque pork ribs which she confirmed when I told her what I was making.  Time to start a different meat!

3.  I wanted pasta salad and since both my parents and my brother are gardening this year I had plenty of veggies.  I began this early too so it would be chilled before dinner.  I LOVE MY PASTA SALAD!  While chopping up the veggies, I sliced my hand with the tip of the knife right on one of those lines on my palm.  Ouch!

2.  I didn't learn from the first cut not to hold the onion that way and well being the genius that I am I sliced my palm open again right by the first cut!  Double ouch!  The juice from the onion felt great in the cuts too let me tell you!!  Genius, I know!  They are small but killing me still because they are right in a crease where my hand naturally bends.  Ugh!  Can I please get some sympathy here?  I put blood, sweat and tears into this meal folks!

#1

Last but certainly not least......I put potato peels, cucumber peels, broccoli stems, green and red pepper stems and the half-cooked-rotten-fishy-death-smelling ribs down the garbage disposal.  Normally, this is not a problem.  We've owned the house for five years and I put EVERYTHING in the disposal.  Never a problem!  UNTIL NOW!  The sink backed up and when Hubs went to fix it a screw broke.  Wally World did NOT have a screw like it and no hardware/home improvement stores were open.  The next day he worked then we had football practice so saying my kitchen is dirty is quite an understatement at best!  It is nasty but I couldn't use the sink or the dishwasher until today when I have chosen to be on the computer and avoid the entire house!!  The stuff that came up smelled like sewage and stunk up the entire house.  I don't know what caused the problem but now I am scared to use the contraption at all even though it is fixed!  Oh and in the process of helping him fix the disposal one of my rings fell in which I did NOT notice until I turned it on.....OOPS!  One of my favorite rings turned into a mangled mess luckily it wasn't a high priced gem!

5 why don't they tell you this before you have kids.......

5.  They will be active until the absolute last minute to go to bed.  They will never WANT to go to bed.  Once in bed they will continue to chat, tickle, jump, pinch and argue until you yourself want to cry for YOUR Momma!  They will want just one more drink, just one more kiss and they WILL have something vitally important to tell you EVERY. FIVE. MINUTES!!  Can you tell we are having issues at bedtime?!?!

4.  They will have to go to the bathroom as soon as you arrive at your destination even if you MADE them go before leaving the house so this situation would NOT occur!!  Always!!  You will quickly learn the locations of every bathroom in your favorite stores or outings!!

3.  You will go to countless outings JUST for them....well and the pictures!!  Sometimes they will hate the outing and making them stick it out everytime because you spent hard earned money isn't always the best answer!

2.  You will wear clothes with milk stains and spit up marks for quite some time and not even care.  You can go days without showering when they are little and not even realize it OR realize it and cry!  You will change countless dirty diapers and once potty trained still have to wipe their butt to make sure it gets clean!  You will do more loads of laundry than you ever imagined!  At some point, when you know they are about to vomit without a toilet or bowl in arms reach, you will cup your hands to catch it and never even blink!  You will call your Mom once that one happens trust me because you will be SHOCKED, grossed out yet still proud!  You can't wait for them to start school THEN you miss them!  You will have to help them with their homework even when neither one of you feel like doing homework!  You have to spell, read and do math with them in order for them to be successful and confident!  You will have to take them to school daily even when you don't want to get out of bed! You will have to sit in the rain during sports practices and games AND still cheer!  They can eat like bottomless pits during sports seasons but will never gain weight.....oh the jealousy.  They will argue, compete and down right physically fight with siblings then love, play and protect them in a matter of moments. 

#1
You will do all of this willingly without a second thought because they are YOUR children and you will love them more than you ever thought possible!  These little things begin to get the nickname "the joys of motherhood" and you wouldn't trade them for the world!

WRITER'S WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY

Time to join in the Writer's Workshop Wed fun with MamaKat!!


I choose #4.....


If your pet could talk, what would you want to know?

I would definitely have a little chat with our English Bulldog Moose!

WHY DO YOU CHASE YOUR TAIL 24 HRS A DAY?
Don't you realize by now YOU WILL NEVER EVER CATCH IT???

Do you not understand you wouldn't have to pant and slobber so much if you would just sit still for a minute and STOP CHASING YOUR TAIL??


Do you honestly think running in a circle and then BARKING AT YOUR TAIL EVERY SINGLE MORNING will make the tail give up and hop into your mouth?  The tail is NOT scared of your bark and this only frustrates me more!!


Do you do all of this because you don't like me and you KNOW IT ANNOYS ME?  THE FEELING IS MUTUAL! 

You better be glad Hubs likes you!

Why do you sniff Samson's butt and lick his privates? 
That is so disgusting!

OH and why all of the sudden are you pooping on the back porch instead of the grass? 
You have pooped in the grass for years!  What is the deal?

5 decisions from this past week

5. If Moose won't runaway on his own, then he may need help! He is an idiot after all!

4. Breathing through the nose would be a great idea!! I would love love love to be able to breathe through my nose! My nose has failed me yet again folks or maybe it is this allergen ridden state!

3. No insurance...sucks! No job....sucks! Doctors cost too much money! I need a job like NOW to save my sanity!

2. That noise in my car is not going away but in fact getting louder! Hmm.....

#1

I think my second grade son has too much homework! That or we have too little time! The entire second grade is on the same plan but for some reason my son doesn't understand why he has to go to school all day then do homework every night! Hmm......I wonder what the other mothers think?

HOT BROKE DIET REVEAL

Awhile back I mentioned I had started the Hot Broke Diet and had lost 6 lbs......

not too long after this I received a few emails asking about the Hot Broke Diet. One reader stated she had looked on the Internet to no avail and could not find anything about the Hot Broke Diet and wished I would share the easy diet.

HERE IT IS FOLKS:

The Hot Broke Diet isn't actually a diet you would see on an infomercial nor will it ever appear on Oprah unless she thinks I am funny and loves my blog in which case she should email me at which time I could pencil her into my ever-changing, busy social calendar. Oprah, IF you are reading this, then you should know that the former statement is a big fat lie and I don't even have a social calendar. I could be there within hours to reveal my riveting weightloss secret!


The Hot Broke Diet is simply this......

IT'S
HOT
AND
I'M
BROKE!

See not too hard if you don't count the hunger pains, no money, high heat and humidity and don't forget the emotional roller coaster ride of finding a new job!!
If you can't buy crap, then you can't eat crap!!!
I ate tuna for one meal per day for a little over two weeks. Many times I just wouldn't eat all day until dinner merely because we didn't have anything I wanted to eat, nothing to eat or I was just too busy and would forget! I would not necessarily recommend this type of diet but it has worked for me and well I really didn't have a choice. The kids gotta eat although I do feel they should tell you just how much they will eat before you have a gaggle of them!! ha! How the Duggar's do it I'll never know? Hey did you guys know she is pregnant again? At least, that is what I was told at football last night in our highly educational football mom discussions. That is one baby lovin' family! Anyway where was I.....................ok so I basically wasn't eating or eating very little. Not recommended! By the third week, I couldn't even look at a can of tuna let alone eat it. I swear one day I opened a can fully intending to eat it when I began gagging relentlessly and had to put it down the disposal. I learned to become more creative with the things I had in my cupboard.......you know the things you bought forever ago and never used. I have felt more stomach growling and burning in the past few months than in my entire life. They say that is when you are burning fat so maybe I burned fat but I had no energy. Now I am just eating less! It also helps that since I am not working with my Dad that I am not eating out every lunch with my Dad and sales reps talking us into buying their products. Helps the pocketbook and the waistline! I have lost 17 lbs........it was 19lbs until Quinlynne's bday party and the first weekend of football!! Looking in the mirror, I do not notice much of a change; however, I do notice my clothes fit differently and I have put on stuff I haven't worn in about a year. I'm sorry if you thought you had found a successful easy program but trust me being broke isn't easy. Depressing, in fact!! I NEED A JOB!! Anyway.........I am not writing this to depress you or make you feel sorry for me in fact I thought it was hilarious that 3 of you were trying to find info on the Hot Broke Diet. It is no longer hot here! Woo hoo! In fact, Oklahoma had an extremely mild summer which I pray doesn't mean a horribly cold winter because I hate cold! I actually wore a sweatshirt a couple of times to football practice in the last week. Sweatshirt in August in Oklahoma ~ I've NEVER seen this happen!! I will not complain about this summer at all because 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s are WAY WAY WAY better than 100 to 115!! Lovin' it!! So I am a little smaller and the temps are smaller so my world is not too bad at the moment....add on a high paying job and I think I could be down right ecstatic!! Wait I should say add on any job and........

On that note, it is cold and rainy today and I think it is perfect nap weather esp now that I have hungry pains and cravings for comfort food..............oooohhhh I want beef stew.........crockpot here I come.....wait......grocery store here I come!!

5 "DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN"......

I am thinking of starting another meme. Not that this one is too popular in fact I used to have more participates and I haven't a clue what happened but I like it so just thinking about another one. The new one would be "Don't you hate it when" Wednesday. Whatcha think? (I know "whatcha" is not actually a word!) Let me know!

5. Don't you hate it when you are running late which in my case is......DAILY.....and every stoplight in your path turns RED right as you pull up! Ugh! Now if I wasn't in a hurry every light would be green between home and my destination!

4. Don't you hate it when you make an appt at a doctor and they request you to be fifteen minutes early only to sit and wait for half an hour after your appt. time. I think next time I'll say...."No thank you I'll be right on time or maybe a little late since I never get seen on time anyway and MY time is just as valuable as the Doctor's time!"

3. Don't you hate it when you go to take the children to the pediatrician's office and have to walk through the "sick" waiting area to get to the "well child" waiting area! Seriously what is the point unless they are quarantined and use a separate door!! ha! We all end up in the same rooms in the end anyway!

2. Don't you hate it when you think people are talking to you and you keep saying, "What? Excuse me? Are you talking to me?" only to realize they have a bluetooth ear thingy and are actually on their cellphone! DRIVES. ME. NUTS. My sister used to have one and it drove me nuts esp. in the middle of a conversation when all of the sudden she is on another topic and I am lost only to realize she is on the phone!

#1

Don't you hate it when....

you make a house rule of "NO" food in the bedrooms then find an uneaten, half peeled, rotten banana with a wonderful spot of moosh on the carpet under your 15 yr old stepson's bed while trying figure out why his room smells so freaking nasty! Hey and where do gnats come from anyway! It is like they appear out of nowhere!!

AN ONLY CHILD FOR A DAY OR TWO

Tez is at his Mom's now. Long story and when I think I can tell the story without bawling I will.

Zay has been at my Mom's for the past two days. My Dad is out of town and my Mom didn't want to stay alone. Did she ask me to come stay? NO! Did she ask one of my brothers? NO!
She asked for Isaiah to spend the night. Why? I don't know! I know he loves his Meme....no wait scratch that....he is obsessed with his Meme BUT what exactly could he do to protect her....step on the intruders toes or lay out a line of hot wheels for the intruder to step on......wait that isn't a bad idea. With boys, I have stepped on MORE than my fair share of hot wheels and those little boogers hurt! ANYWAY.....he's been gone and will return after school today much to his dismay. She made me look bad with a trip to the park, shopping AND McDonald's all within 48 hrs...ugh.....she needs to come down a peg or twelve in my children's' eyes but hey I love her too so what am I to do!

This has left us with ONE........YEP ONE child since Monday night!

Odd!

So quiet!
No fighting, less food to make, no crying, no whining.....oh just peace and quiet!
Makes you wonder.....when did we decide on more than one?
Just kidding!
I love all my boys!
It was really nice to have some one on one time with Elijah and much easier to do his homework without a certain 4 yr old crying that he wants homework too BUT I can't wait to have that certain 4 yr old home so he can tell me over and over how great I am and how much he loves me! I love my kids and I love being a Mom but this was a well deserved break and good for all of us esp after the week we had last week. Can't wait to pick up Zay....he just makes me laugh!

THE QUEEN IS DOING HER 1ST GIVEAWAY

Remember this post.....
go check it out while I wait!
WAITING....
waiting.....
In that post, I mentioned my cousin Janelle and recognized her Queen status although she already claimed it in her blog title!!
She is having her very first giveaway and I urge you to stop by because it is good! Ultimately my goal is for you to love her like I do because she cracks me up so I know you will love her if you just stop by!
What are you waiting for??
PLEASE!!

WW ~ I'M A BIG BOY NOW.......NOT SO FAST WEE ONE!!

Isaiah cried for a week because one the older boys started school a week before him and that just isn't fair and two he did NOT want new teachers. Finally, on Aug 18th it was his time to start Pre-K and boy was he excited. I failed to mention to him that only one of his friends from the three year old class would be in the 4 yr old program with him purposely trying to ease the transition knowing that he would make new friends. Why announce this little tidbit and face the meltdown? Motherhood ~ gotta love it!! So here he is my big boy ready for his first day of Pre-K a few weeks ago...


I can NOT believe my BABY will be in Kindergarten next year. I know that is a full year away but it just makes me sad. I don't think you realize the "they grow up so fast" quote until it feels like they went from 3 months to 4 years in NO time at all!! Hubs had a minor meltdown once he realized Zay was in Pre-K after he came home from school to tell us about his day. I thought Hubs might cry but alas he just sat in deep thought then hugged HIS boy!!

Isaiah has wanted to be FIVE since the day he turned three. He seriously is obsessed with turning five. I guess five is a huge milestone to him in that you finally become a BIG KID! While cooking dinner a few nights ago, Zay came in and said, "Mommy, do you know why I like being four?" I said, "No why?" He responded with "because that means I am finally almost five!" My response, "Don't rush things baby boy! You just turned 4!"

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!

Football officially started with two weekends of scrimmages and you all know I took pictures!! Have to share b/c that's how I roll!!




We are so proud of our boys! Not only do they love the game but they are GOOD!! Wait let me change "good" to awesome! They are the defending conference champions looking for yet another winning season! Go Gold!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Quinlynne turned the big 4 so you know it was time to PAR-TAY!!
AND I just happened to take a picture or two!
