Where to start

Well it feels like I've been doing absolutely nothing around here, but allot has seemed to acquire since i last posted. Hmmmm, where to start.

First I will say that slumber parties suck. Not for the kids mind you, but for the adults. It really makes you feel old when you are the cranky, witchy mom yelling at the girls to shut the hell up at 1 am. When did I become that bitchy mom?? I thought I was cool. lol. I guess I finally understand why my mom was such a bitch when I had friends over. Girly had her belated birthday slumber party. With the move being right around her birthday she wasn't able to have it then so we postponed it till this last weekend. It was her and 3 other girls. All was fine until around 11pm they decided they wanted to do something they call slumber bashing or something to that effect. My friend and I (yes, I called on support since Hubs decided to leave for the weekend) met in the hallway after hearing multiple bangs, booms and screeching. I knock on the door, open it up and ask what the heck is going on. The boys were already sleeping and if they woke them up they would not hear the end of it from me. The girls were all standing there with their sleeping bags over their heads and it was so calmly explained to me that it's a game they play. They put the sleeping bags over their heads and run into each other. Huh?? Yah, that's what I said. Who the hell does that?? 10 yr. old girls I guess. Geesh, we used to play light as a feather, stiff as a board and that kind of stuff, not beat the shit out of each other with your bags over your head kind of crap. Holy Cow.

The wildfires here are not in our area. I must say though, they are everywhere. At least a dozen or so fires burning all at one time. The news is broadcasting live 24/7 for the last 3 days. It's a big deal, I know, but come on, I don't need to see fire 24/7 to know that it's bad. Geesh, I've missed 3 days of my Days of our Lives. lol. I feel bad for the people that have lost everything, but at least it's things and not lives. Things that can be replaced. It all started to make me think of what I would take if I needed to evacuate (should I have time to gather a few things). What possessions do I feel cannot be replaced. Of course after my children and puppies are safely out of harms way, I would have to grab the hope chest my dad built me with all the kid's baby stuff, and memorabilia in it. Then I think the other main thing would be my rings. Not all of them mind you but at least I would slip on my 10 yr. anniversary band and my mother's ring that the kids got me. Those 2 are most important to me (I'd probably be wearing them already so that wouldn't be an issue). And of course our fire safe with all the important documents in it. Oh and Ugly Mugsy. Mugsy is an antique dog cookie jar that was my Grandparent's before they died. All hell broke loose when I got that cookie jar, so he'd be going with me also. All the other things could be replaced. I am sure though that Hub's list of items would be completely different from mine (tools, computer stuff, porn lol just kidding). I am curious to find out what exactly he would take if need be. Hmmm, I'll have to ask. lol

Girly went to her first Halloween party last night. She went as a supermodel. She was suppose to be a "dead supermodel" but we didn't have time to make her "dead" before she had to go. So she just got all dolled up with her makeup and wig and went as a "live" supermodel. lol. Don't ask me where she comes up with these things, but she wants to be a dead supermodel this year. lol.

Crazy is going to be Spiderman this year. This boy is obsessed with Spiderman. He's also has a knack for talking back and whining. This boy spends more time in the corner and in his room then anything else I swear! lol I just get so sick of hearing it that I just send him to his room until I don't feel like yanking my skull apart. Usually a good 10 mins or so. By then I let him out and the whole process starts over again! lol

Baby Boy isn't so Baby anymore. The terd is up on his feet and getting to be a bully. lol. He will hit, pinch and has even attempted to bite. He turns the TV off on his brother and will turn the volume up to full throttle. Then he laughs about it. He gave his brother a black eye a couple weeks back when he threw a bath toy at him in the tub and it hit him square in the eye. Then when Crazy is getting dressed, he will chase him around as soon as he is naked and laugh because Crazy seems to think he's going to pinch his butt or something so he screams and runs away. He runs over the dogs with anything he can find that moves. He's a brat!! lol But he is now sat in the corner and sent to his room also. That has seemed to help. He doesn't like that corner at all. Plus, when he pinches me, I pinch him back. He doesn't like that at all, and it solves that problem. At least for a few days! lol Yah, yah, yah, I know some people wouldn't agree with that, just like the whole spanking deal, but whatever, it works for me and he gets the idea that pinching hurts and he also learns that there are consequences.

OK, yah, this has now become a book, so I will be done with it. Still doing all sorts of work around the house, and yes pics will be soon. I suck, I know. What can I say?? lol

Ta ta ladies and gents!

Man! Slumber Parties....thank god I had boys and never had to deal with that!! Boy oh boy did Light As a feather stiff as a board bring back memories! I seem to remember freezing bras in a ziplock bag full of water too, but with 10 year olds, hopefully you don't have to worry about that!

So glad you hear you are no where near those fires. I have now been able to account for all my Cali blogger friends, but I think we have some military friends that didn't fare so well...

This is me, after reading your account of the slumber party:

"Thank you, God, for giving me boys."

Then I remembered that every day is them hitting each other, chasing each other, putting stuff over their heads and pile driving.

So yeah, basically, what I have, is a 24/7 slumber party, boy style.

Days doesn't even seem the same when I'm flipping through the channels than what it was 10 years ago. I miss the old actors!!!

I was once again cracking up at your post. Your baby sounds like mine...mine will turn off the TV too and he thinks he's such a big shot because it really ticks off the other two. KIDS!
