I got some 'splainin' to do....

Some of you don't remember who I am.... I thought I better do some 'splainin' as to why I have been gone from the blogger world for so long...also I just need to vent and this is the good place to do it...this way you can either read or not read. Some of you have heard this before (I apologize to those who have) and some of you haven't. Either way I need to get this off my already saggy chest (sorry Mat) and get on to better things like pics of our camping trip and Easter and Snowbasin and Park City and my two little gils just having fun. Here it goes...
Life is hard for everyone but that is just life right...you just roll w/ the punches and get back up cuz your not the only one who is getting punched. Some people are actually getting punched much worse than you are so be thankful for the little punches you are getting. Easy enough to do right - right...no problem. BUT...what if you just keep getting punched in the same place over and over and over again and life just isn't caring how bad it hurts and that you have had enough of the punching.... GRIPES!! Do I sound like a baby or what? I know...I agree...BUT I am just so tired...tired of telling people I am 'good' when I am on the brink of tears. Tired of having to be the 'strong one' or the 'positive one'. Tired of being stressed and having a stressed hubby. Tired of having OCD and having a messy house cuz I am too tired to clean it. OH MY! That is enough of that. Gripes, that depressed me just typing it...lighter note...my saggy chest feels better. :) I am sorry for venting all that on my blog... I have been trying to do things that will help me not be so tired... like running w/ my little sissy @ 6:00 in the am...yes that helps me not be so tired (that just sounds weird). I have been taking time for (gasp) myself so I can be in a 'happy place' and therefore get the hubby and kids in that same 'happy place'. So far it is only sorda working (just being honest)... Good days and bad days happen...Just gotta think positive and look for the 'funnies' in life (thanks Marcia girl for pointing that out). I am so thankful for all that I do have - I am so glad to have my darling Chuckles to make me laugh when I get too serious
(yes he has to make me laugh a lot). I am so glad to have 2 little chicks to "peck me to death" and then give me kisses to make me feel better. I am so glad to have a roof over my head (even if it is still leaking...the water has made beautiful designs on the wall). I am thankful for the beliefs that I have and to know that the punching life gives us is actually for our good. Thanks for letting me blog/vent...we need to come up w/ a word that mixes both of those...blent...yup I like that. Thanks for letting me blent...loves and kisses to all!

What in the TAR-NATIONS??

Ummmm...this morning I found a WHITE (not just gray but WHITE) hair. I'm depressed!

What the fat lip??

Mabes had a dentist appointment and she had a few little cavities...So they numbed her lip and told me to watch and make sure she doesn't bite her lip. Easy enough right?? So we go home put on a movie and I give Mabes a sippy cup of her milk and sit down to watch the movie w/ her. Not even 15 min into the movie and I look over and see something growing on Mabrys lip. GRIPES!! She had been chewing on her lip the entire time. (mother of the year) I gave her some ice to suck on for the swelling and it helped a little. Good Grief...It took a full week for that pucker lip to go down. Poor thing!

It's time!! GRIPES

I know it is time to update the blog. I have stuff from when we went to the rodeo back in July....GRIPES...My problem is that I have to sneak on Chuckles computer to do this. So I am being sneaky right now....such a rebel....I know. Maybe I can be sneaky again tonight and just stay up and BLOG BLOG BLOG till my heart is content - ahhhhhhhh I can dream can't I?? I promise to get some more pics on here ASAP... TTFN!!

GRIPES!

I know, I know, I know....I haven't blogged in a while. I have much to put on but it will have to wait for a time when things aren't so CRAZY!! I did just want to mention...Mabes b-day is coming up. We had gotten her some Barbie golf clubs for her b-day but Chuckles couldn't wait to give them to her so she got them in June!! tehe. So I was asking Mabry what she wanted for her b-day. Being the funny little girl she is...she wants *a pinata and her ears pierced*. Not too much to ask right? Oh and did I mention she still wants a farm and a real little horse that moves. She is the best!! Love you Mabes!

Fun rainbow weekend!!

We had a pretty nice and relaxing Friday and Saturday. A little yard and house work and some haning out w/ the family. A pretty good weekend. I thought Sunday was going to be a normal Sunday. Go to church, big Sunday dinner and that's about it. I was so wrong....Here is the scoop on the rainbow weekend. Chuckles is in charge of doing the program for church, well....he left the battery to his laptop @ his office in Salt Lake. So he took off to SLC to get the battery (this was about 10:30 am - our church starts @ 1:00) and his car broke down. He called me and told me that the car broke down right by the Gay Pride Parade they were having in SLC. I started laughing and didn't believe him - I thought he was just joking. What are the odds right??Well, he wasn't joking and he wanted me to come and get him so he didn't get hit on!! So long story shorter...got the program to the church and loaded the girls into the truck and headed to SLC to see some rainbows. We had our car towed to our house and Mabry loved seeing all the bright colors in SLC. GRIPES!!
On a good note...baby Pete was born on Sunday. Congrats to Karson and Abby!!

I know the pix are kinda blurry...well ok...really blurry! I should of had Melis there to take some professional pictures. ;)

Rainy Days and groceries!

Rainy Wednesday (6/4) and I went grocery shopping, it had to be done. I had the truck so all the groceries were put in the back and front seat. Everything was soaking wet including me and the girls. I could hear all the groceries shifting around while I was driving home and thought to myself that I needed to be careful when I opened the door. Well that thought only stayed w/ me for a mili-second. When I got home I opened the door and guess what came falling out....yes EGGS!! I managed to save 4 of them! Then I got to the bread that had been smashed by a gallon of milk. It looks like pancakes according to Mabes. I just had to laugh @ all of this. Soaking wet, smashed bread and cracked eggs in the driveway. It was a perfect rainy day. More updates this weekend - I promise.

GRIPES!!

Gripes!! Has it really been 2 weeks since I last "blogged"? I am so sorry! Not even sure where to start? Shed....let me tell you the shed story. So we got this shed, Chuckles went and picked it up on Tuesday evening. It was already put together so we just put it in our driveway until we could clear a spot in the backyard for it. Thursday morning we got a visit from South Ogden City....they got a complaint about our shed on Wednesday and we need to have it moved w/in 10 days. -k-...so the shed was up less that 24 hours and someone called to complain!! That is just stupid-dumb. Like we would leave the shed in our driveway, blocking our garage and actually put stuff in it. I was so irritated I just wanted to spit. Seriously folks, c'mon!! So we were going to move the shed that Saturday but we decided to wait another week (after all we have 10 days) just so people could see it more! Not very mature I know but neither is calling and complaing when the shed has only been in our driveway for a day. That is all for now. Rubes is crying! ta-ta
