Where's Snoopy?

The princess would like to know if she left her Snoopy at Aunt Lisa's or Gram's house. If you have seen it, could you let her know? She really needs it. He's her buddy.

I'll try to post more later. Right now I have to get kids down for naps and then I have green beans to snap.

Toodles.

Moving To The Country, Gonna Eat A Lot Of Peaches!

Help! I feel as if I am up to my ears in peach jam. We made 3 dozen jars of the stuff today. Plus, I have enough peaches to do 3 dozen more, so, I guess I'll be making more. I'll also be doing a batch of blackberry (about 6 pints). Next month, it's on to grape jelly. I'm getting 5 gallons of concord grapes and that will make about 5 dozen pints of jelly. Hmmmm, should I give it out as Christmas presents? Naw, I'm sure that the family will enjoy it. Right now, Alex is over at Misty's helping her make her jam.What a trooper. Yes, Lisa, you will get some of each.

Right now, the kids are all playing nicely together. I haven't even had the tv on since we left at 11 this morning. How nice. I'll be sending the younger ones to bed in about 10 mins. I'll probably actually go to bed early myself. But I will definately spend some time to myself first. Just chillin and watching the news.

I think tomorrow will be a bum around the house day. Dan will be sleeping so maybe I'll fill the pools up in the morning and by afternoon they will be warm. We'll see how nice I am and how good they go to bed.

All right. I'm off. Keep on keepin on.

MMMMMM........Sedatives!!

Tomorrow is the big jam day. Doing peach and I might get to throw in a batch of blackberry. Betty offered us some tomatoes and green beans from the garden. Of course we said yes. Mommy wants maters. I'm going to ask her how to can the beans. I love how her green beans turn out after they have been canned. MMMMMM good. It appears that I have been domesticated. How sad.

I made pudding pie today. We are having hot dogs on the grill and tater tots, spanish rice and salad. Sounds like a real winner of a supper, right? Oh well, they will be filled up.

Tried to clean the turtle tank, but it doesn't look really clean. Hubby was going to take Whitney horseback riding this morning, but she threw up a few times last night, so I said she couldn't go. He was disappointed, he wanted to go and today was the only day he could. He'll probably have to work at least a day of overtime next week. There's always next year. He and Alex can go sometime too.

Well, I've got to get the grill started. Forgive my lack of blogness lately. Brain is fried.

You Go, Girl!

I really think that my step-son, Jacob, is going to be a little comedian. Today, at lunch, I was in the other room, but I heard it all, Alex did something to Whitney, and she slapped him, and Jake piped up with, You Go Girl. I laughed so hard, I thought I would wet myself. The kid is funny. Alex is that way too, that's why it was always so hard to correct him. I need to learn to leave the room to laugh and then punish them. Apparently, since Jake can't call me Boobies, he has moved on to calling me Baby. Dan doesn't like that either. Poor kid can't win with his father.lol.

Looks like it's actually going to cool down tomorrow. That will be nice. Give my poor ac a chance to keep up. Bonus, tomorrow night, Dan's parents are taking his kids and keeping them all night. What a nice little relief. When I told Alex, all he could do was keep saying thank you. I thought he would feel left out, but he is actually glad for the break.

Well, I'm going to work on supper. I'm grilling bbq chicken tonight.

Is This Mayberry?

You know that you live in a small town when you go to the post office and run into the town cop(I said "the" town cop) and he is wearing blue jeans, his side arm and uniform shirt. Talk about small town, he only is allowed 45hrs a week, so don't have an emergancy outside of his work hours. I heard he'll mow your lawn for 10 bucks. I told hubby his handcuffs are probably rusty, but hubby said that he probably gets a yearly allowance for them so I can just imagine where all the old ones are. A closet full in his bedroom? A very domineering wife, perhaps? YIKES!!!!!!

The kids are in bed, at least the younger ones. Alex is spending the night at Harry's, or Hairless as Dan likes to call him. Of course Alex had to pollute the house before he left. He even clogged the toilet. Gross.

So, maybe hubby and I can relax a few minutes without children. That is wishful thinking. He goes to work tomorrow. Then it's me against them. I'm ready for battle.lol

Good night all.

Blog, blog good!!!!!

Boobies Strikes Again!

Well, Jacob has added another set to his boobie list. At lunch today, he felt compelled to bring up the fact that Erin has boobies, too. It's almost like he has a mental list going. Dan told him that, yes Erin has boobies too, all girls do. I, of course, felt that he needed to be told that some men have boobies too. Equal oppertunity, don't you know.

We had a water balloon fight with the kids tonight. Dan and I filled them while the kids played in the wading pools we filled at noon. The pools were in the sun for about 5 hours and the water was almost hot. We put more water into them. We filled over 100 balloons that took only about 15mins to break them. The kids had fun anyway.

I think hubby and I will be putting kids to bed and then we are going to sit outside with the dogs and have a Schmirnoff twisted apple. It's that kind of night. Alex is at Rick and Misty's visiting with Jackson. The kid needs a break from his step-siblings. Plus, he likes it over there. Misty likes to give him shit and call him her little cutey pie because she likes it when he turns red.

So anyway, here are your updates.

Feelin Blog, Blog, Blog!

Viva La Boobies!!!!!!

Man, my family is twisted. I see all it took was a post, about boobies, to get you all talking. Dan just called from work and I told him about all the comments, he said that he keeps trying to correct Jake when he calls me boobies and now we are all encouraging it. When will that man learn that he just can't win? Got to love him. At least he has a sense of humor. And to clear it up, Mike, they did not call me Ol Fun Bags while I was hooking. I always got paid more because I was Shanae-nae and the twins. Get it right.

As to the people new to then insights of my family, now you see why shrinks are still in business. I think that I'm the only sane one in the family.

I've got the 2 oldest ones all sugared up tonight. They wanted to make S'mores and I let them, heck they used a whole candybar on each one. I guess they will be up all night. The princess is guzzling water like a camel. I'll be changing her 20 times tonight. And she keeps pacing back from her bedroom to the front room. Oh great, Alex is washing his treat down with chocolate milk.

The pees have gas. Great. Jacob did too. That's one of the reasons I sent him to bed. I couldn't breathe. Yikes. He definately takes after his father. I thought he needed is unders changed. Looks like we'll have to take stock in Hanes for him. Alex might have competition for blowing the ass out of his boxers. Then we will all see the light.

Well, I'm off to try to get the princess to stay in bed.

Blog, Blog, the Magical Fruit!

Got Milk?

My step-son, Jacob, has taken to calling me Boobies, much to the dismay of hubby. I think Dan is a little territorial when it comes to the twins.........anyway, when Jake asks for something, it's, can I have some more drink, Boobies, can I have a snack, Boobies....etc.......Dan is at his wits end. I think it's funny, but it is inappropriate. He also calls me Mom, so I'm sure his mom won't be very happy about that. It's just what he has chosen to call me. Oh well.

Alex's cat, Jasper, has to spend the night at the vets. He broke a blood vessel in his right ear and it is all swollen so they are going to drain it and keep an eye on it. The vet said that his right ear will be smaller than the left and it may not perk up like it used to. Mom is terribly worried about the other animals making fun of him. She wants him to get a prosthesis. I think that if he just tells the others that he was in a gang fight, that will give him some street cred. The moose weighs 13.10 lbs. Fat ass.

Well, I'm fixing supper for the troops. Fish and steak fries. Yummy......maybe?

Maybe I'll update more later. To see a pick of the whole family, check out my sisters blog, you can find the address in my archives under family blogs.

Blogheads, Blogheads, Rolly-polly, Blogheads!

Updates, Updates. How demanding!

Ok, it was a very uneventful day, so I didn't update. I'm sorry, I do have boring days. Dan works tomorrow. Hopefully he has the weekend off. We'll see. Got to shop with the girls on Saturday. No, not you Mike.

We had salisbury steak, mashed taters and biscuits for supper. Everyone pigged out. Swimming must make them hungry. Of course, none of it was from scratch. But, oh well. Balanced meal for all.

Okay, that's all I have to say. Sorry.

I'm Bloggy! So Bloggy!

Inspector 12!

The princess now has another alias, she is The Chair Inspector. Right now hubby is rocking her and Jacob in all his childhood innocence is over there telling his daddy how Erin is our chair inspector. I guess it's good to have a calling in life, instead of sitting around being royality.

Tomorrow, we are going to the zoo in Decatur. I sure hope that we don't get arrested when it's time to leave. They may accuse us of trying to steal some of the animals. Of course, tomorrow is going to be very hot again, but they are kids and it won't bother them. I've never been to this zoo. I still want to take them to the zoo in Springfield sometime too. Monday, we are planning on going to Knights Action Park, should be fun.

Erin has moved off of Daddy's lap and is at work inspecting the chairs. She has such a fun time it's hard to keep telling her no. But occasionally the odd chair ends up in the living room, so then we need to tell her no.

Well, time to put kiddies to bed. Alex has been sleeping for about an hour. His little brothers are early risers, so he is way off his up all night sleep all day schedule. hmmmm. This could be a good thing.

99 Blog Balloons.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, Sausage!

To clear it up, hubby is not polish, but he does have a rather large sausage. His heritage is mostly native american, with others thrown in. So he's a teepee, he's a wigwam, he's two tents. Ha ha ha ha.

We watched the Ugly Daschound tonight, kids loved it. Had chili for supper. Interesting evening. It did storm briefly here. Not the good soaking rain that we needed, but I guess every little bit helps.

Well, I have children still trying to avoid sleep, so I'll have to update more later.

Blog-a-bye Baby!

Fart, the Other Toxic Gas!!!!!!

My son has a toxic cloud wafting from his ass. Must have been the hot dogs for supper. Now I'm going to have to wash his boxers twice. Yuck. It's enough to knock a cat off a gut wagon. If he keeps this up I'll be busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. Dan will be busier than a cat covering shit. Alex's farts were so smelly that he wilted the flowers, and they are fake!!!! His mama's so ugly that she had to breast feed with a straw. (wait, I'm his mama). We were so poor growing up that when a neighbor saw us carrying a cardboard box and asked what we were doing, we said moving. We ate hamburger helper without the helper.

Well, tomorrow, we will be going to Lake Shelbyville and riding in the in-laws boat. Should be fun. I already have the sunscreen out so I don't forget to put it on everybody before they get dressed, and I'll take it to re-apply. Dennis is going to have the canapy on the boat so the princess doesn't get baked in the sun. I'm kinda looking forward to it. The kids are really looking forward to it. It's the last day of hubby's vacation, then it's back to the grind. Well, at least maybe, I'll get the kids on a schedule.

I think it's time to hit the hay. Need the rest. Busy day.

Row, Row, Row Your Blog!

Damn You, Puberty!

Well, hubby finally did it. Right now he is in the bathroom with Alex, teaching him how to shave. I am not ready for this, not now. He's my baby. What's next, driving, noooooooooooooo. I don't think I have enough toilet paper to cover the kids knicks. And then I'll have to take stock in it when he starts driving, because I'm sure the kid will scare the shit out of me!

Shave and a Haircut, Two Blogs!

They Call Me, Mrs. Brady!

Today's episode, The Tale of the Tattler.

Alex and Whitney today went for a walk with the pups and Alex saw his friends playing with bb guns and wanted to join them, so he asked Whitney not to tell and they brought the dogs home and he asked me if he could go to Harry's. About a half hour later I'm on the phone with my mom and Mr. Brady comes to me all frazzled and tells Whitney to tell me exactly what she just told him. All she was doing was tattling about Alex playing with bb guns, yes, I know that they are dangerous, but if he got hurt, lesson learned. I recall a childhood incident when I was riding my bike through the graveyard(we were poor, don't judge) and my brother Rob/Bob shot me in the butt with a bb gun. It hurt, but oh well. So Dan went over to Harry's and made Alex come home, I grounded him for a week, but also I told him the quickest way to get tattled on is to ask someone not to tell. We also told Whitney that her tattling just kind of ruined her fun, because now she can't go anywhere with Alex and his friends and she will be bored to tears. We told her she really needs to pick and choose what she tattles on. So actually, she is getting a worse punishment, because when Alex is done being grounded he will have freedom, but she's stuck. Live and learn.

Last night, we went to see Aunt Lisa, and we went to McDonalds, as the princess was sitting on Aunt Lisa and leaning back, Jacob asks why big baby's have boobies. Out of the mouths of babes. The night before he asked his Aunt Robin if he could see her boobs. He is definately his fathers son.

The Bloggy Bunch!

Back in the Land of Lincoln!

Well, I made it through the trip to Connt. It was an eye opener for me. Hubby had told me about his ex but I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But boy oh boy was I totally not ready for her stunts. Lets just say that as a divorced person who really was vindictive for a while, I never came close to her status.

My house is full of the sounds of giggles. All 5 children are happy and doing great. Erin is still a little confused but we are working on her. And Thursday, we go to Aunt Lisa's to pick up the pees, so it will really get interesting around here.

Tonight, we are going to Pizza Hut with Dan's parents. Dennis called and said kids eat free tonight, so we will be going. That's okay, the hamburger hasn't thawed completely yet anyway, so we will grill tomorrow night.

Well, I guess I better get myself put together so I look a little presentable in public.

What's New, Bloggycat?

Speak, Oh Toothless Wonder!

Okay, I said I wasn't going to update yet, but this stuff is too good to wait. This morning, I walk into my bedroom to find hubby bent over putting on his drawers and from out of nowhere came a puff of cloud that was a toxic shade of green. So let me tell you people, if you think you're alone and bend over and let one rip, remember people will find out. The man even had the nerve to turn around and tell me he was blowing me a kiss. Yikies!

This must have been my payback from yesterday morning. I decided that whenever I talked to my husband, I would only use song titles. Let me tell you, I had to dig deep for some of them. Of course, yesterday he wasn't in the best humor anyway, so this was just a nice bonus for him. I at least made him laugh, and I did manage to keep it up for an hour. I'm good.

Man, I Feel Like a Blogger!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY!

Well, it's almost my friend, Shirley's, birthday. She sent an e-vite to her gathering at Olive Garden and Starship. Unfortunately, we are unable to make it. No sitter and we have to get ready for picking up his kids, we leave on Friday. If I still lived in Springfield, I would be there for sure. That is one of the things I miss. Going out with friends. I'm horrible about keeping in touch, I really need to do better. Anyway, have a great time, Shirley! I'll be thinking of you.

So, got new curtains hung up in my livingroom, my mom made them and they look great, plus, we now have privacy, so I can wear my nightgown out there and no one will see me. Yippee, I won't be scarring anyone for life.

Hubby and the princess have been enjoying the leftovers from the 4th. I'm going to give her some of grams homemade blackberry crisp in a minute, she loves it.

Since Alex is gone, things are pretty quiet around here. But next week, things will be hopping. 5 kids, what in the hell was I thinking? I'm up for it. It's all good. Plus Alex always wanted a little brother, now he has 2 plus another little sister. I wonder how this will affect our adult time? Knowing Dan, it won't slow him down. TMI?

Well, I'll be going to take care of princess, so I'll try to update soon.

Take it on the Blog, Baby

One Year

Wow, it was one year ago today that I first laid eyes on my husband. My first impression of him was "Damn, he's skinny. I'll break the poor guy!" But luckily he put on some weight and now he's my hot little stud-muffin. It seems like we've been together forever, it's great. Of course, it could be just living in the town that time forgot, that makes me feel that way.

So my family is a bunch of early risers. Lots of comments today from the peanut gallery. And Mike, the off white sheets that Mom is sewing are for curtains, not uniforms. Just wanted to clear that up right now.

Right now, hubby is at his brothers rotating the tires on the van like a good man should. Erin is playing with a chair as usual. Looks like another uneventful day in the sticks, but then again, maybe not. Because Becky Lou down the way got herself in the family way, don't know if the daddy is Jim Bob or Bubba. The McCoys got themselves a brand spankin new tractor, what a fine piece of machinery. Susie May Jones painted her house, prettiest shade of fushia you ever did see. The cop was busy last night solving the cow tipping incedent, I had nothing to do with it. The Piggly Wiggly ran out of Pabst, and there was almost a riot. But the most terrible thing that happened was all the t.v.'s in town went out and nobody could watch Nascar. How sad.

See y'all round the playground.

Joy to the Blog

LISA, LISA, LISA!

My sister informed me that I never mention her in my Blog, so here it is, a Blog devoted to the sister that was my torment while growing up.

Where do I start? Would I mention the times she pulled my teeth that weren't loose? Or when she tried to teach me baseball and I caught a line drive with my eye. Then there was the pudding episode. One evening, Mom was working and Lisa was in charge(first mistake, it's like putting the monkey in charge of the banana's) and thought pudding sounded good. That was in the days before instant pudding, you still had to cook it on the stove-top. Well, I had this little lawn chair that I liked to sit on in the house and I was in my jammies and she gave me the pudding and I proceeded to spill it on my knee, I still have the scar, and to make matters worse, Lisa put butter on it to help. Plus she tried to keep it from Mom. Not and easy task. It was horrible, the burn covered the whole knee. But I guess she was trying to be nice.

Hmmmm, what else? She had a boyfriend I called mushroom head. He had a hell of a fro.

Well, that's all I'm going to tell about her now. But believe me, there is plenty of dirt to dish. I'm feeling generous so I'll leave it at what I've written. OH, Lisa, do you remember the name Boofa?

Blog me with your best shot
