Day 7 ~ YAY The boys are coming

So I am super duper excited right now. I just got ticket conformation for my two boys to come out here to Phoenix. See, when I moved here with my husband, only my oldest and youngest came with me. My two middle boys did not want to leave their dad so they stayed behind much to my displeasure. They are going to be out here hopefully after summer vacation , for good - but until then, there has been a LOT of flying on my part to go back east.

Well, my IL's have so kindly offered to fly out here to Phoenix with them for Feb. vacation. How exciting is that? SUPER DUPER exciting if you ask me. This will be the first time that they come out here to our house and they are so looking forward to it. I was going to go back east for Feb. vacation but was dreading it due to the absurd coldness that is hitting there. Now I don't have to think about it..

So that is my blog for today. I figured it was HUGE news and I wanted to share it with the total of 3 readers that may check this out!! Be happy for me :-)

Day 6 ~ What I meant to say, Wednesdays

So here is something new. When I was doing Post it note, Tuesday I saw that Cheif was starting up a new Meme called What I meant to say, Wednesday.


This is a great idea actually. Dont you always have those days or those feelings when someone asks you something (or you ask someone something) and you have to answer in the most polite way, but there is something that you REALLY REALLY meant to say?? I know I do... So here I go. Read them, laugh and then post your own and link back to Chief...

To my 12 year old son: No, you may not go outside until you finnish cleaning YOUR bathroom.

What I meant to say: Seriously??? I've asked you to clean your bathroom 5 times already today and you've only been home for an hour. Dont ask me again, if you can go outside, knowing that you have not cleaned your bathroom yet! It's not MY fault that you left YOUR wet towel on the floor and the tags to all of your clothes IN the sink..... GO DO IT NOW!!!

To the UPS guy: Sorry, I did not hear the doorbell ringing

What I meant to say: Yes, I heard the effing door bell. All 5 times that you rang it. I was trying o ignore you since I knew you'd leave my package near the stoop like you ALWAYS do. After I assumed you were done ringing the bell, I went outside only to see you putting the package where you always put it only to look like an idiot for not answering the door. ENOUGH. You need not ring the bell 5 times.

To the lady at the dress shop: No thanks, im just looking...

What I meant to say: If I wanted your help, I would ask for it. Now quit fallowing me around the store like Im some 14 year old shoplifter. No I dont want you to check if you have more sizes out back, no I dont want you to suggest something else. Mostly, I want you to leave me alone and when I need your help, i'll ask for it. K-thanks-bye!

I know I have a lot more but I want to save them up. Now, what are some things that you meant to say even though I know you are more polite then that????

Day 5 ~ Post it note Tuesday

Well, this seems like a pretty fun idea. While I was checking out Shell's Blog, I noticed she was part of this super crazy weekly adventure called Post it note Tuesday..


Go check it out if you have not been there yet, and then make a blog all about your life in a post it note (or notes). I love this idea.... Im glad that I am a blog stalker... err hopper.


Seriously.... I havent had a tire in over a week. Get to it already!!


And while you are out, can you get me an extra special treat???


Where are my priorities... Not with the laundry


yyyuuummm.... is it dinner time yet?

Ok, so I wont lie. I am not creative but I will try my hardest to be better next week! Happy Post it note Tuesday to you!!! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Day 4 ~ Not feeling so hot tonight

So Im not feeling so hot tonight. Basically, I have this headache that WONT go away. I've had all kinds of meds AND coffee yet here I sit.. In lots of pain. So tonights blog wont be anything to write home about. I am actually going to get off here, get a cold towel and go lay down. Maybe i'll even watch the Bachelor! Woohoo...

My question to you is:
Do you watch any reality TV? If so, what do you watch?

Day 3 ~ Toy Room Fun

So today, we decided to move our house around a little bit. As if our livin room wasnt big enough, we decided to give ourselves even more room in here. We have an empty room at the front of the house and Will loves playing in it. So we figured that we'd make it his official toy room. We brought down his train table from the loft and then brought out two totes of old toys. We set the room up for him and he's been in there most of the day, playing with all his new things.

So then the loft has turned into a "TV/Entertainment" room for Chad. The loft was both Chad's room for homework, to watch TV (whenever we were going to hook it up) and play video games and for Will to play, but now it is Chad's personal entertainment room. How sweet! When I was 12, I was lucky if my mom let us watch TV in the living room. Kids are so spoiled these days. I guess I should call Direct TV to hook up the box for that room. We have not used it since we moved in so they "de-activated" it. Anyways, Chad LOVES it! I love seeing the smiles on the boys faces when we can do these things for them.

My question for you tonight is: What was for dinner?
~We had a stovetop stuffing chicken and vegetable bake. It is one of the favorites in this house and always makes enough for leftovers so everyone has lunch tomorrow!
