BLACK FRIDAY....

well it came and we prevailed....well mostly! I'm going to post more details of the stories of this years drama's but I had to tell everyone what a fun time I had with my mom, sister and my moms friend!

We started out at about 11pm and ended about 10 am.....when I got home I took a four hour nap and woke up to kids fed and playing and dishes done. So not only did my hunny let me shop for ten hours, he let me nap it up and cleaned the kitchen and took care of the kids. Isn't he wonderful?!

Then mom and I went to see Sinbad, who was in town this weekend. He was hilarious. I'm glad I got to go and spend some time with my momma.


Stories to follow...nothing to terribly exciting but you're ganna get them anyway!

Only 5 days left

Yes my friends only 5 days until one of the best times of the year....BLACK FRIDAY.

I looooooove Black Friday! one of my favorite family traditions. We even go when we don't have tons of money cause usually places are giving away stuff and its fun to watch the chaos. This year I actually have a decent budget and am looking to get a few big ticket items. :D

Ya...I'm excited about turkey day but I'm ecstatic about Black Friday! Bring it on people!

I"m like who?

Yesterday when I picked the girls up from the Boys and Girls club, Bethanie was chewing on something. So I say:

"What are you chewing on"

"Gum"

"Where did you get gum, cause you know you shouldn't have any"

"Breana"

Breana: "NO YOU DIDN'T"

Me: "Did you give gum to Bethanie"

"No"

"Did you give gum to Bethanie?"

"No"

- insert mommy look -

Juliet: "Yes you did you took it out of your mouth and gave it to Bethanie"

- insert me gagging-

Me: "Breana, both of your sisters are telling me you gave Bethanie gum...I will ask you one more time....did. you. give. gum. to. bethanie?!"

"yes"

At this point we all walk to the car. Bethanie and Juliet are ahead of us and I hang back just a tad with Breana.

"When we get home you are to fold not only your clothes but all the clothes, including Juliets and Bethanies"

"ok mommy"

We get in the car and I try not to allow the other girls to hear when one is getting in trouble but sometimes it just can't be helped. Its quiet in the car on the ride home cuase they all know one is in trouble. Then Juliet pipes up

"Its just like Cinderella"

Me: "what?"

"Its just like Cinderella and your like the evil step mom"

Of course then I had to talk to her about not getting into other people business and how I'm NOT like the evil step mom and what not (course for all I know, they probably think I am!) but goodness...isn't that just a peach. I'm officially the evil step mom cause I made one of my kids fold clothes! the horror of it all! I should be locked away and lashed with a wet noodle.

Half of me thought it very comical, the other was a tad bit stung by it. But they are children and they still tell me they love me so.....I can't be that horrid right? It will be a funny story to them one day.

Joke, oh so funny

This morning Breana and Juliet were in the back seat whispering and whatnot and then they started laughing.

I ask them what so funny

Juliet says "listen to my joke"

" I wish we had six fingers on each hand, cause then we would have two fumbs (she says the 'th' on all the other 'th' words, except for thumbs)"

she pauses for a second and you can see all three girls poised to laugh at the very second I understood the joke....which I was not

so Juliet continues "Get it?..... two fumbs!!! HAHAHAA"

All three girls bust up laughing, after they calm down they look at me in the mirror and I say "i'm sorry I just don't get it"

Juliet rolls her eyes and says "oh mom" and looks at her sisters like I'll never understand them.

I guess I'm just to old.... :)

they're coming

I have pictures of our trip to Idaho. I actually need to steal some from my sister and the others need to be loaded from our camera....but they are coming.

We had soooo much fun. As usual our visit was way to short, but well worth it. I love hanging out with my fam they are the greatest!!!

Perks

I get up early in the morning to do my work out, for a couple of reasons. One: the house is completely mine, I can work out and then walk to the shower red, sweaty and exhausted; Two: I get the bathroom all to myself for a full 40 minutes...no children and no husband coming and going while I try to beautify myself and Three once its done its out of the way and I have the rest of my day already set in a healthy mindset.

I've decided that I would keep this routine even on Saturday...so yes I got myself out of bed at 5:30 in the am! worked out and decided to hit up wal-mart before the rest of the world remembered it was Saturday after a payday and out of food.

Here, my friends, is one of the perks to getting up this early:

I think sometimes He gives us this view as a reward for getting up early and doing what you need to do...or he could just love us a whole bunch and wants us to remember how perfect this world can be. I love it.

Its gotta a what on its head?

The following conversation happened the other morning while I was in the bathroom curling my hair and the girls had a few moments to play before school.

Bethanie: Its a horse

Juliet: no its a unicorn

Breana: nooooo its a horse!

Bethanie: YA!

Juliet: no, you know hows I can tell....its gotta a corn on its head

silence

Breana and Bethanie: ....oh.

I just about died laughing. They sounded so serious in there mythical creature debate and really...I can see where they would think unicorns would have corns to differ them from horses. I got me some smart cookies. :D
