whew!

Well chalk another one up for me - got Abies room all painted. We had a little issue at the paint store with the color so I had to have the salesman work her over on another color, so we ended up with this pale hot pink and got home started my project yesterday, well hubby comes into the room and within seconds steps into the paint can! who steps into a paint can? I would expect one of my foursome to do it but not the burly man. I started freaking out like crazy I run to grab some plastic trash bags and he is telling me to calm down. Calm down? You just spilled an ENTIRE gallon of paint on the CARPET! Seriously calm down? Then he starts getting all pissy cause he has paint on his foot? Oh geez sorry but you can shower I cant replace the carpet at the moment! AAAAGGGHHHH! Well any hoot I get it picked up, he showers and tries to scrub what he can out of the carpet. I now have pink carpet. If your an optomistic person than you can call it a bonus- I call it a major screw up. So I clean up for the night take the kids to the carnival down the road. We all know how much I lOVE carnivals (sense the sarcasm yet) Unlike last time I let the kids rape me of all my money for the games I made them take their allowance. Funny they didnt play one game since it was their money! HA! I got my son on that pirate boat that goes back and forth - well he almost splattered everyone with vomit. - note to self the child does not like heights. So we move to the gravitron (not good for me I had some alcoholic bevs brewing in the ol gut) But I took it for the team, he had a blast. My 6 year old wanted to do it next so I went for round 2 on the gravitron. If you dont know what it is - its the space ship looking thing that spins really fast and sucks you to the walls and the seats slide up and down. Well everthing was fine and dandy and the little devil in me came out, I reached up and pushed his seat up and I seriously think he crapped himself. Seriously. When we got out hubby had funnel cake and fried twinkies... Fried twinkies? Its a whole lotta heaven fried in a whole lotta grease - by God it was amazing... LOL Try it trust me you will love it. It was a great end to the day. But as for today the room has been painted in full pink. Off to the decor now!

Rough Week

Friday, July 17, 2009

What could go wrong this week probably has... I am thankful today is Friday. The events that have unfolded this week are crazy! Mostly minor stuff but seriously it was one of those "what could go wrong will go wrong" kind of things. A week full of stress! I should be sitting at my vacation spot at the moment instead I am enjoying the rain here in the NE. My AC went in my van - thus the only transportation for me and the kiddos so had to reschedule that. My 2 year old lovely son- broke practically everything insight. Started with my camera. Yeah the #2 thing I always have with me, He thought it would be fun to chuck it across the room - with the lens attached. Fun. Then he found my #1 - my Blackberry and that to met its fate along with my camera. Even though I was without my phone for less than 24 hours it seemed like an eternity. I have EVERYTHING on it and lost it all - Yeah didnt back up anything so taking this as a lesson learned and will back up my phone book as soon as I get numbers put back on it. I still have no cable because again loving son spilled gatorade all over the cable box and fried it - well drowned it. Back to the van my electronic mechanism that opens the doors automatically went out so that is a pain... We have been having some issues at the bars too so again more stress. Yikes!
Well among my misfortunes I found a great deal on craigslist for a table/chair set and hutch. Judging by the picture posted it looked like black wood so I didnt even ask the color, I drove the 30 miles to get it and it turns out that its green. GREEN! So does not work in my kitchen being I painted the cabinets a blue last year. But I saw the potential in it and I bought it... I was able to get 2 of the chairs painted today between the rainfall. I bought a killer fabric at the local shop so I will have one good looking set once I finish. I swear though sometimes I think I have adult ADD because I can never stay focused. I bounced back and forth between the table and my daughters room ( another work in progress). I am also redecorating her room in a fairy garden theme. I will post pictures as I go, but honestly have not gotten very far. Well enough self-pity - gonna work on some more stuff. And oh yeah I broke out my Billy Mays Slider Station today - not worth the money! I opened the top looked down and had patties like 1/2 inch big. It was rather funny they made the slider buns look like regular hamburger buns! HAHAHA!

Happy Birthday Max!

Wednesday, July 15, 2009


Today my little Max turns 6! Hooray! I feel bad because we are not doing a party, nor does he have presents today. We gave him his present early because he had his tonsils out, so his present came in handy (nintendo DSI). I am still getting use to getting back to norm.

Anyhoot yesterday what a day. It was a wonderful day to get in the pool so the kids and I got in, well apparently my dogs thought it was a good day to get out of the fence. While I was in the pool I see my dogs in the field behind my house, I tell my oldest to go get them, however he has a snorkel and flippers on, so not much help in the running down the yard area. I get out of the pool, get the little ones out as well since I wasnt in the pool and I take off to get the dogs, well first off I am in a bathing suit and sopping wet. Bailey my golden came right back in the fence, however the collie, Midnight not so much. (Background on Midnight, she was my hubbys dog prior to us being together and she hates me, she doesnt listen to anything I say so I knew I was in for it). So I am calmly trying to call her back and walk slowly to her, but she kept running further away, I am now at this point 2 houses away from mine - again in a swim suit looking like a beached whale. She begins to run. Fast. So I take off after her and she goes under someones shed. Im crying at this point, about to give up. Well I climb on the ground, half under the shed trying to get my dog out, Im sure the neighbors were wondering why there was a half naked woman under their shed. Well I get a hold of her collar and get her out. I begin to cross the yard with her, I am covered in dirt, and grass and realize my boob is hanging out, not only am I a beached whale but I am now a beached dirty stripping whale. Oh boy, the tears flow even more. I got the animal back into the house and needless to say I needed a very large alcoholic beverage. I call my husband crying and flipping out, not only about the dogs but the fact that I am streaking around the neighborhood. Thinking about it now its freaking hysterical but at the time It wasnt so great. Oh well.

Im back!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009


Hey guys! I am back again, yup I know bad me... I have been so consumed by the benefit that I was putting together, that I lost touch. But the benefit is now over and I am just getting back to reality. My kids have been back and forth from VA the last couple weeks just for preparation for the benefit. Max got his tonsils out on the 2nd. That was not fun. The breath that comes along with that WOW. We had to go back to the ER because he became dehydrated but he is ALMOST back to the same Max. Apparently my kids have slept in every morning but since they have been home I have been bright eyes at 5 am cause they want to play... Not so happy....
Back to the benefit - we made over $9000 for the kids... Outstanding! The last thing I need to do is just write a list of those I know who donated so I can get some thank yous out. The only problem is I dont know who half the people are. We had a bunch of stuff just dropped off, and I feel horrible because I cannot personally thank them all. At any rate, Tina is back, yay! And just so your not confused that adorable little man at the top of the page, his name is Drew, he was one of the little kids the benefit was for...
