Only tuesday?

This week is dragging and it just started! But I'm happy to report the boys are SO much better this week, last week almost sent me over the edge I do thank the Lord for prozac! I started my diet back up, so far I have lost 11.2 pounds in a week, yay me! Don is down 11, darn I have to beat him ha! I'm in clothes I have not worn for so long I hope they are not out of style! But I feel better and thats all that matters I suppose. Now if I could just get back to wearing my c-pap then all would be swell. I do hate that thing lol! Sunday I went with Kim to deliver Alyssa back to Oregon, boo! We miss her already! Tomorrow is our HUGE compatibility test with Lois, I do all the blood work then we mail it out and start praying! This test determines if 1 of the 4 people are an absolute match! Don is busy at work ;( I do miss him when he is gone, I guess thats a good thing! I actually cleaned out ALL of my kitchen cupboards! And thats a lot my kitchen is big! Pinterest is going to be the death of me! Although I have found a bunch new recipes and the boys love em so far! Thats always a bonus!

Snow days!

I am SICK OF SNOW!! Oh to be young again and actually love snow. I remember school closures, snowmen and of course snowball fights, but I'm over it! The boys have only had 1 snow day in 2 years! Guess we are just use to it over here.

This is my real family! We had no clue the boys were doing this behind our backs, I guess its a glimpse of the teenage years ha!

What a day!

It has been such a stressful day! My youngest can frustrate me and send me into a mood faster than anyone! He is very OCD and impatient. If his pants are to long he wont wear them, if they dont tie he wont wear them, he will only wear fuzzy socks, his shirts and coats cannot go past his wrist or I have to roll them up, his shoes have to be double knotted or he will freak out! I have just learned to accept this, its a battle Im not going to fight, so I buy pants and my mom puts elastic in them so they tie, you just gotta do what ya gotta do! I could write for hours how these men send me over the limit, but I can also write about how they make me smile. No matter how much they fight, they always play with each other, no matter how annoyed Parker gets with Jared he always tickles and wrestles him and plays video games with him. They really are fabulous boys and I wish I didnt take them for granid. One day they wont be here, they will be off doing their own thing, and that makes me SO sad to think about. Although I know its a good thing, they are my babies and I have devoted my whole life to them. I get up in the morning because of them, I try to be the best person ever because of them, I take prozac because of them ha! I cook for them, clean for them, cuddle them, kiss them, hug them, make sure they have clean teeth and clean bodies, that their clothes fit and that they know how much I love them, bigger than the universe!

Happy New Year!

I cannot believe its 2013! Where did this year go? I still cant believe it! We had a great year and I am SO excited for this new year! A lot of changes are coming and I hope I'm ready! Lets see, my boss will probably be getting her new kidney next month, which is so awesome, yet sad for me. I am so use to going to her house every morning, hooking her up and visiting and watching shows with her. We watched all 10 seasons of Friends, now we are onto NCIS, good times! I have made a pretty big decision to go back to school, something that terrifies me yet makes me excited! I am going to be a labor and delivery nurse, hopefully! Our oldest will be getting his permit this month, HIS PERMIT! I can hardly believe that! Why is our babies growing up so fast? I have already rented the hall for his graduation :( It makes my heart so sad that one day sooner than later he will be off to college, hopefully the Art institute of Seattle and then there will just be 3! This Thanksgiving we will be going to Forks to have Thanksgiving with my family up there. I am SO excited! We are staying 4 days and I am going to learn my Aunts recipes and hang out with my cousins and just enjoy life! November cant come soon enough! I have been doing pretty good at weight loss, down 23 pounds and I start back up tomorrow. Hoping to weigh what I did when I met Don, so Im closer than I was lol! We are getting hit with snow and it sucks! The first day or two its beautiful, not so much anymore, over it!! Well thats about it for now, I promise to update more than once a year!!!

Am I suppose to be a Mom?

So this weekend was fun! We went to Silverwood over in Idaho, had a great time, stayed in a hotel, spent way to much money on food and just had a family weekend. Well in between all the fun, I thought to myself "these kids are driving me crazy, they fight and argue all the time, am I suppose to be their mom?" I was a basket case half the time, I wonder if we are doing it right?! Then at dinner the waitress tells us "good job mom and dad, these boys are wonderful, its a breath of fresh air" so I guess we are? I love my men more than life itself, but why, oh why do they have to act like this?? They are ungrateful, and argue and fight! I have told them so many times how lucky they are that we go out for dinner! I can count on 1 hand how many times we ate out, we just didnt do that back then. They have cell phones, I got a pager when I was a senior in highschool lol! I know life isnt like it was back then...bummer! And when it comes down to it, their hugs and kisses and cuddles are so much better than cookies or chocolate. It makes those hard times easy!

Much on my mind!

I'm not even sure where to start! My brain is full of stuff and not all of is useful! Ok most of it is not useful! Its been about 10 months since my respect for a fellow family member left.To this day I wish I knew what I did, but alas I'm clueless! Last time I blogged was hard for me. My boys were going through a hard patch about C. He had just had twin boys and my sweet angels didn't understand why he would do that when he didn't want them. Well naturally I wanted to commit a crime against him but I restrained ha! I so know that was the best thing he ever did for them was to sign them over but it kills my heart that they have to feel saddness about this he is not worthy of their tears! I can only pray that they learn from this and never do it to their children! They have such a great example now so I doubt they will! My boys do stress me out often, but boy am I crazy about them! I know this post is all over the place but it really suits my mind...all over! I often wonder why Don is so crazy about me ha! Probably because he doesn't know what goes on in my head!

Holy Longtime!!

Ok, so it has been FOREVER since I updated!! I dont even know where to begin! Today was the first day of school. I had 3 happy boys, one freshman not so happy ha!I cant believe I have a freshman in highschool! Where did the time go? I remember him as a baby who always laughed and smiled and now he is this man! Makes me a little sad if Im being honest! Its been a great summer! Not a whole lot of fighting with the boys! Yesterday was the first day I actually said "I cant wait for school" so I would say SUCCESS!! We went camping on the west side, went to the pool a bunch had family and friends over and a rodeo and fair! This weekend is Silverwood in Idaho with a hotel, we SOO cant wait for that! Work is going good! Right now we are on Season 8 of Friends, lol its what we do when were done with words and facebook! We pretty much rock! Don got promoted so he is the Electrical Supervisor, he is so fantastic! Patrick started 7th, Joshua started 2nd and Jared is in 1st. This summer we hydro-seeded half the yard, we are doing the other half next month. LOVE having green grass, so pretty!! This year our goal is to get the outside done, minus the siding of course, but hopefully my wrap around porch :) The weeds KILL us out here! Don is constantly using the tractor to get the weeds up in the dirt bike track, but they are taking over! Its been a busy year! Will write more soon!!
