Changes

Thought I would share a few photos I took on our evening walk tonight to the dairy. Isn't she beautiful. Mama couldn't have given birth to her much more then a few hours earlier. I am sorry we missed it. Spring is in the air.




Alas, Spring is bringing about a few more changes. Look at this bullshit. Little Dora and Strawberry Shortcake are all grown up. I am surprised they didn't put some boobies on these girls. I mean why not? They have completely changed the look of them, so why not give her some tits and fishnet stockings while your at it. lol Geesh, can't they just leave well enough alone?

Thinking Positive

With all the aggravation I have been feeling lately with the kids, I have decided to write a post only consisting of the good things that have been going on. Bullet style.

• We saw Monsters Vs. Aliens this afternoon and the kids did great!
• Listening the boys talk on the walkie talkies to each other when they are only a few feet from each other.
• Hearing Baby Boy sing the song from the original Transformers cartoon movie.
• Seeing the boys give each other a hug for no apparent reason.
• Girly doing extra credit for school on her Sunday off. Without being told.
• Listening to the wind howl outside, but staying all cozy on the inside.
• Baby Boy's kisses
• Watching Hubs do the dishes.
• Listening to Crazy Boy tell Baby Boy a story.
• Putting makeup on Girly before we went out for the movie and teaching her how to do it herself without looking like a tramp! lol
• Getting the whole kitchen cleaned up after dinner with Hubs.
• Watching TV with Hubs while he rubs my head.
• Seeing the lawn look all pretty and manicured after a Saturday of mowing, weedwacking, and cleaning up.
• Getting a good start on my summer tan from doing all the yard work in a tanktop!
  
• Watching the kids swing on their tree swings that Daddy put up for them.
• Watching the boys play with a fuzzy caterpillar.
• Going on our walk around the dairy and listening to the kids talk about the cows and ask silly questions.
  
• Having the boys pick me flowers on our walk.
  
• Getting all the chores done on Saturday so Sunday can be a day of lounging and being lazy!
  

Wow, my shadow looks huge! lol

Irked

Remember the FIL coming to live here?

He's leaving back for Michigan. Already, and with a weeks notice.

The boys are hurt and upset. He leaves just when they have gotten used to having some sort of family here to see and spend time with. They have grown up with no family living near them. So when he came they were super excited.

And you know what? It pisses me the f*ck off. Everyone knows he irritates the hell out of me, and most of the time we bicker and say stupid shit to each other, but what pisses me off is that he is hurting the kids. I could care less what he does, but they are only 3 and 4. They don't understand why or how, they just know he's leaving them. They ask all sorts of questions like "why is Papa leaving us?" and "doesn't Papa like it here anymore?" and I haven't a clue on how to answer them. What I'd like to say is "Your Papa is an asshole that only thinks of himself." but ha, that probably wouldn't be the greatest thing to tell them. I should have known he would somehow hurt them..he has that special way about him.....

Neglect

Yikes. I guess this is what happens when you become a Facebook addict! lol

I don't even know where to begin. Spring break is coming for both Girly and Crazy.
Girly participated in her school science fair. She won for her school, and then competed in district competitions against the other schools in town. She WON! lol So now during her long awaited spring break, she gets to compete in regionals. So if she wins the science fair regionals (county), she goes onto state competitions. Then, nationals. We are so proud of her. She has worked hard, and as with any kid, when they work hard and then get a long awaited reward for all their work, they are elated! Science was never one of my strong suits, so this makes me hopeful that she wont be like me when it comes to certain subjects! lol

Crazy is going in for his Kindergarten shots next month. This is nuts to me. My little boy starting Kindergarten. I just hope I do not get as nervous with him as I did with Girly. I am so grateful though, that Girly is at the same school and can be there to help him out and get adjusted those first couple weeks. He has been sick non-stop through this winter. He is sick again after a couple months of being well. He has that hacking cough, and a slight fever. It feels like it is a never ending sickness around here.

Baby Boy is no baby anymore :( He had his 3 yr. well baby check, and he is in perfect health. They are a bit concerned with his speech, and would like him to have his ears checked, but as soon as they referred us out, the boy started speaking. He is saying things that he wouldn't have attempted to a couple months ago. It may not come out exactly the right way, but it pleases me that he is trying. He is completely diaperless during the day now, and that pleases me even more! lol He is the most defiant little boy, and everyday he does something that makes me think he is going to be hell on wheels when he gets a bit older.

The weather here has been absolutely wonderful. I am obsessed with being able to grow my own fruits and veggies, but alas, I kill everything I touch. So being the stalker I am, we went out and bought the Topsy Turvey. You know, the upsidown tomato planter? We bought 3 and planted tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they work. Crazy planted his cantaloupe, and later on around June he will be planting his pumpkins. I will try to keep updated on how well these plants are doing. I am hoping that with them hanging, they will not be bombarded with the horrid ants that we have out here, and will survive.
