Irate lady called the cops on me today. awesome.

As I pulled into a parking space along the street at our local park , I see a car on the street behind me stop and a lady jumps outobsenities coming at me. She is probably in her 60's and the passenger was about 90. She was holding her head screaming as if she had just been in a huge car acident and was extrememly hurt.She is telling I did'nt have my bllinker on ( I did, I still could hear it clicking.) I look in the back and apparently the blinker was broken. Meanwhile a few cars stop ( she is still in the middle of the street) and I see her using her cell phone and scrbbling down my license. I call Rik, and he said he was unaware it was broken, and for me to just remain calm. SO I proceed to get the kids out to go play and she is still going at it, I asked her to please stop b/c of my kids and HER RESPONSE ; " I don't care how many #$%&* $%^& kids you have you &&^% *&^%$. Sooo, the cop pulls up shortly after and is talking tl her for several minutes , then comes to me on the park. The funny thing about this is we were on police property , the park is on the headquarters for our town park. He kinda had a smile on his face when he came up and just asked what happened. Of course wanted my license which I DIDNT HAVE,,, awesome. And we are a few monthes behind on our registration,ahhhh however the copand I share the same birthdate,,,, and I'm pretty sure that's why he just said ok,,, well take care of the stuff and have a good day ma'am. What a morning. I mean seriously? You would have thought that we had a huge collision for that kind of absurd response, and to be that hyterical and beligerant. Needless to say my blinker will be fixed , immediatly.

seriously

Seriously how is it possible that a baby on average poops 4 times in a day ( while he's at my house who knows the status at home) , perhaps more. I am talking about "Tye" who is now 14 mo. old,and whom I babysit about 45 hours a week and his pooping habits are that of an infant. It seriously is disturbing to me , and can't keep up with his active bowel movements. Thank goodness my kids don't have this issue , I would seriously lose it.

Klove =)

It's amazing as when I am feeling my lonliest, emptiest ,worn out-ness.... that all I have to do is call on Jesus. So many times, as lately things are tough and I feel hopeless,I get so wrapped up in my feelings I fogot he is there...and as I ask his peace to fill me and be by my side, he is ... I feel him, all we have to do is call out to him . Another small tidbit.... Klove radio station. I'm sure anyone reading this, which is not many,. know what I am talking about, it's amazing, that it is all over the US with a common goal to share and bless people with ( good ) Christain music. I used to just listen to it periodically, and would have the usual country or top 40 music.... which for the most part now , I can't stand If I changed to KLOVE Caiden would always ask me " is this Jesus music' ? =) Whatever type of mood I may be in as I'm off driving somewhere, having it on always redirects my focus to God, ....not myself . There are ocassional times I feel the need to belt out some lyrics , and I am definetly not one to sing,( I sadly enough don't really like to b-c my voice is so darn aweful. )So I am grateful for KLOVE, and the message that it is spreading God's love around the country in a very tangible way.

Thanks to L, I figured out how to change my background, I am currently having a bad day, and wish it could just be over. It's also pouring rain out , and all I've been doing all day is changing multiple poop diapers, ( including 1 explosion one) and trying to discipline my very over -tired , exausted, disobedient 4 year old, which is cleary not working and I'm left feeling like a useless mother. Just got Kierson up from a nap and his diaper was found not on his butt where it should be, but on his pillow in his crib. Once I saw it, he laughed and pointed to it , thinking it was hilarious. I was exspecting to find a nice mess in his crib got lucky, all clean. He and Tye fight now. Caiden has never ever layed hands on a kid or taken a toy in his life ( besides Kierson ocassionally) but man - o man Tye and K are pretty darn mean to eachother, K is much larger than Tye and a little push can send him flying. Tye also learned apparently how to "roll his eyes" , he came to my house Monday morning with this new found skill, I'm not a big fan. He rolls his eyes and abruptly truns around and walks the other way. Little attitude, that needs to stop. Would love if one of these days they both would learn to talk,,,, so much grunting an dfussing , but no effort is made by either one. They all entertain themselves amazing, K has been playing with my waterbottle for the last 20 min,,,, throwing it around and thinking it's just an excpetional new toy.

bad bad week...

It's 3;14am on saturday . That's right, and I am WIDE awake.... my story begins on Monday night of this past week.I have a cold and feel a bit not myself, but this was nothing compared to what the week would bring....... My choice for dinner that night was a frozen dinner I had never had before, ( now I eat frozen's all the time, just not this kind) it was a beef assortment, and before I ate it I kinda thought "ehh I may not like this" Well let me tell you ,,,,, I did not. Within about 12 minutes after eating it I felt pain. As the night proceeded I t became unbearable, like someone ripping out my stomach. Finally, whew... it happened, I puked, and felt awesome... for 3 minutes. Then went on puking a few times throughout the night, I even tried sleeping on our nasty bathroom, but was too repulsing. I took a total of 4 baths throughout the night too. Now for some reason when I get a fever I like baths, the unusual aspect about this is our bath-tub SUCKS and only fills up not even enough cover ones ( freezing)body, however this did not stop me. Tuesday was by far the worst day of this week, I couldn't take care of my kids, literally. I cancelled babysitting and had Caiden picked up by Rik's mom, but I still had Kierson,,,, my ever - so needy,mischevious 17 mo. old. It was beyond difficult to even get off the couch, to change his diaper and look at food to try to feed him. I spent the day in my bed , and mostly so did he. He destroyed my room, and tore apart all my magazines and had a blast scattering them throughout my room. He even layed right ontop of my head, had to be close,,,, had to be close,,,,, ughhh. Somehow , we made it through the day , and at night Rik took the kids and I slept and my fever broke in the night. These last few days I have been a zombie, very weak / no energy... havent left the house, still some lingering stomach pains.... I get my period and as always that is a blessing. LAst night Kierson was up for a few hours, sick, so was up periodially , but that was tolerable. As I woke today I thought , MAN today is the day I will be back to myself,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can pick up, play with the kids instead of stare at them from the couch,,,,,, wel, no such luck. I had a burst of energy for about 2 hours, I did laundry and walked 10 minutes on the treadmill, ( wooo-hooo) and then I crash again, and this evening get a migraine. Soooo, I take Excedrin , and it doesnt work,,,, sooooo I take more,, and HELLO 3;30 am... here I am ready to GO!!!! Where had this energy been all week.??.. and goodness gracious what in the world am I going to be like tomorrow with NO SLEEP !!!!! It's amazing all the things that go through your head when your laying there,,, for hours,,,, songs from church from like 15 years ago ,( that one seems to be a hit in my head,,,weird huh? )Seriously wish I could go grocery shopping right now, or go outside for a quick run,,, anything to try to tire me out! I tried to wake Rik to tell him " hey, I'm still awake" , ( trying to get some sympathy) he moaned and turned over. darn, must be nice to be sleeping ever so softly......and this has been my bad bad week.

3 monthes....

ok , so maybe I only post every 3 monthes, BUT,,, not my fault ! I don't have a computer at home... so my only free time is when I'm here at the store, and I don't have to bodyguard Kierson so he does'nt demolish the whole place.. My mom is in town for the week, and of course Thanksgiving tomorrow. She has been amazing , always on the floor playing with the boys, reading stories, making crafts, dancing, feeding, bathing.... them..and even putting Kierson back to sleep when he decides to be awake during the night........ man she does it all. Of course we do get our time too, we are never into "going: and doing alot, we are content to sit on the couch, she with her tea, and me,, well usually eating something,,, and talk away. Today she and Caiden made " gingerbread houses", it was so cute to watch them, as it has always been a tradition for me growing up to do every year with her, now she was able to do it with her grandchild. Caiden wants to be with her/on her/or just very close proximinty to where-ever " Grammy "is . She even went to Pre-school with him yesterday =) Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, a time to reflect of all we are grateful for. No matter how much I can find things to complain about, God has really truly blessed us , and my hope is to focus on all his blessings =)

Adrenaline....

Is the name of the business that my husband and I are starting( ok , mostly him ) . We will be selling Powersports( snowmobiles,4-wheelers, motocyles.. etc) and Board Sports ( snowboards, wakeboards,skateboards etc...) as well as accesories and clothing. He has had his own side business selling used powersports and has done quite well, and now it's time to exspand. He is excellent at what he does , and has the MOST ambition of anyone I've ever known. As soon as we got the keys to this new shop he has been at it.... painting,new flooring,signs, electical... he has been here every night till midnight ! We live about 1.2 miles away from this place, so that is SO convenient! I come here at night with the boys, I can't help much b/c Kierson is very busy ripping holes in his pants,getting covered in paint, and eating nails . I am getting more and more excited about this new adventure in our lives, I will be working here and bring the boys along , when it's open.Caiden loves coming to the " shop" and hanging out with Rik. Last weekend I think I saw him a total of 36 minutes, he was right along with Rik going to "Menards, and Home Depot" numerous , and riding his bike around the cement floor. It's coming along, I will post more when I have some pics of our place to share ! Wish us luck
