Why is it whenever, you get the flu it's in the wee morning hours. That's right. I woke up with the flu. I thought maybe, I ate something bad. Nope! I spent all day in bed and now I'm wide awake.
The kids felt the need to fight and the hubby felt the need to scream at the kids for fighting. Why? And why can't anyone take it upon themself to fix dinner, do the dishes or do aload of towels? Does the world stop when mom is sick? Thank goodness, there is no school tomorrow. The kids can do chores that did not get done this weekend and the mess they left me in the kitchen.

weekend news
Where does the time go? My niece turned 1 today. It just seems like yesterday she was born. She belongs to my youngest brother. He waited in life to get married and have kids. He's 33 by the time I was 33 I had 4 kids. Him and his wife (who is a kick in the pants and I enjoy her company) are wanting 2 more kids. I'm feeling old. I really don't think I would want a newborn at 34 or 35. I like my sleep too much.
R had a basketball game today. She has been playing with a sprained ankle. Infact, she had sat on the bench for 2 weeks because of it. She is still not herself, hopefully, by next weekend she will be. We have an out of town tournament. This tournament is always fun because it's at the beach. Not that the beach is nice on the west coast during the winter but we always look forword to it. The adults usally find a nice lounge to sit in at least one night. My parents will go with us and babysit the boys one night so we can hang with some adults. YAH!
Everyone else, is in bed and fast asleep for the night, I better get heading that way. Before, the big freeze comes our way next week. We are just use to the rain in Oregon but they are say in the teens brrrrrrrr.

Drama
Yesterday, was my niece's 13th birthday. Happy Birthday Katrina. You are now a teenager and all the drama that goes with it.
Speaking of drama, my brother and his wife are going thru a nasty "he did, he said, she did, she said" big D. My brother is not Katrina's dad but has been her step dad for over 10 years. She calls him dad and thinks of him as dad. Katrina's real dad has been in and out of her life except for the last 4 years he has stepped up to the plate.
My brother's soon-to-be ex-wife and I have never seen eye to eye. I think she is too wrapped up in herself. My brother is the better parent and has been for along time. Infact, she left my brother because she need "ME TIME" What the hell is that? She didn't want to be a mom anymore at this time. What a selfish person, as I see it. There are women out there that want to be mom's so bad and can't. Then, she comes along and just wants to kick them to the curb.
The drama keeps on going as we speak...........I have not talked to my brother's wife for over 6 months she has the balls to text me yesterday "Today is Katrina's bday. She is 13 years old. Her number is 555-555-5555. Thanks Meg." My response "Her bday is marked on the calendar, I have her # and there is no need for you to ever text me. If she would have talked to her own daughter on her birthday she would have known I had already talked to her.
For the last 6 months I have stood by my brother as he went thru hell. Held his hand as she slapped with with a restraining order. On lies. She has done nothing but lie, and cheat. He fought the restraining order and won. What does she get nothing. She now wants to get back together with my brother. Play time is over I guess, now. She knows now that the grass is not always green. My brother.........well, I can't be his support any more for him. It has taken it's toll on me and my family. He is thinking about making it work. I would say go for it but this is the 3rd time she has done this in 10 years. I don't think she will ever be happy.

stinky feet smell
Stinky feet............Why do little boys well, have to be little boys? The girls' rooms get messy. Clothes everywhere, books, homework and misc stuff. BUT, the boys' room stinks. I still help them clean their room but, I turn around and it is trashed. How hard is it to put the clothes in the hamper, put the toys in the toy box and not eat snack in there while we are playing? There is nothing worse than stepping on small legos and then chips. Are all little boys like that or just mine?

Tears, broken heart and more tears
B's boyfriend broke up with her today. As her mom, I just want to hold her and craddle her as I did many years ago. Her hurt is my hurt. I just want her tears to stop and her heart to mend. Why is it when, our children hurt it hurts so much more than when we do?
Me, Him, Girls, and Boys
Oh, the begining..........There's me. A stay at home mom to 4 kids. I know you thinking crazy lady. I love being a mom. As long as I can remember, that's all I wanted to be and a nurse. Never, did become a nurse but somedays I think I am. My house is so crazy, there isn't a day that goes by without some sort of drama.
Then we have Him. He works construction. He also coaches girls basketball and softball. At 1 point he coached kindergarden soccer. That didn't go too well. Not enought action. Him has a passion of racing. He has 2 trucks that he has built and MUD races. We spend most of summer racing. I have never raced, just been a passenger. Not ready for that yet.
I have 2 daughters........B is 16. She is lets say "The Princess"! She is nothing but a girly girl. Her favorite color is pink and she loves jewlery. She is a jr in high school, with a 3.90 gpa(proud mom), works part-time at a local pizza parlor, plays tennis, student goverment and will be spending 3 weeks in Europe of the summer. YIKES!
Then theres R. She is 13 and all around tomboy. Her nickname is Red (she has long red hair) Red is in the 8th grade with a 3.90 gpa (proud mom) She plays basketball and softball. On the basketball team she is known as the scrapper. Last year in softball she played up an age level. There were 2 girls picked to play up. She plays 3rd and catcher. If she could she would play softball all year long. Red is full of piss and vinigar, she is very strong willed and a day doesn't go by without her giving some gray hairs.
Well, then we have the boys. The boys are 7 and in the 1st grade. They are truely 100% boy from head to toe. I never knew what I was in for when the dr told me we were having twin boys. I think I almost passed out. I don't remember..........I think I might have truely lost my mind at the point. I can't remember. P and D keeps us going everyday. They hit the ground running. They also play sports, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball. They can't wait until they are old enough to play football. YAH!
I was hoping to start blogging to keep an online journal everyday life. Maybe, I can look back one day and go "What have I gotten myself into?"
