Just Coffee Right?

The coffee maker broke yesterday, actually I tried to booty fab it last week. Curtis offered to go get me a coffee, nan. I will wait and get regualar coffee at the corner mart. Well, Britt had an errand to run before school and she offered to pick one up. She had a free one. Well, who would have thought that would have pissed Curtis off this morning and set the mood for the day.
We all know I have to have the last word, well, I just egged it on, on, and on. Looks like he won't be speaking to me for the rest of the day. Should be pretty quite around.
It's just coffee right?

Family Pictures

questionable

We spent over an hour at the park trying to take some family pictures. When did it become so hard to get all of us together? We have "Drama Queen" that doesn't want to be part of the family. Red was glad to be there. The boys................just hate to have their picture taken. I look fat. Come on I have lost 25 lbs but my face. The jeans I have on (which are new) give me saggy ass. How come my daughters didn't let me know this? Hubby, he never says anything. We were using a pos camera. I am hoping for a new for xmas. Wish, wish, please, Santa. Maybe, I will have to try again next weekend for some pictures of the family. I might, even have to buy some jeans that fit. 15 more pounds and I will be at my goal weight. I think I can. I think I can. This one is ok.Like this one

Difficult

Some days I just feel like crawling under the covers and going back to bed. Today is one of those days.
Trying to get all the kids ready for family pictures at the park. There just seems to be too much teenage drama. Who knew it was too hard to wear what I ask or that your hair has some frizz. Girls. Gotta love them.

Teenage Drama and a chilli feed.

Cinnamon rolls (our batch) Truck trophies from this year

We belong to a racing team, Curtis races his ford truck (mud drags) and his trash derby car. Our team is holding a bake sale and chilli feed today. I am unable to go because the boys have a basketball game today.

I finished up my cinnamon rolls last night, everything was packed and ready to go. Well, we over slept but Britt was up and ready to go. I asked her why she didn't wake us up, "you are adults didn't know I needed to" Wow, that set the mood this morning that no amount of coffee can cure. Hopefully the day will get better.

Hmmmm, how late?

Why must I wait until the last minute? I have to make 3 dozen jumbo cinnamon rolls for a bake sale tomorrow. I am sitting her waiting for the dough to raise. Wonder how late I will be up tonight? Will post pictures of the finished product. Wish me luck.

What have we been up to?

Life has just entered the fast lane the past 6 weeks. I have just got in buckled up and hung on for dear life.

I am not even sure where to start. Britt has been getting ready for college and the service. Thats right the service. She has been looking at the airforce and army. She would like to council veterans. She is looking at 6 years of school and service.

Her part time job, started getting in the way of school. We encouraged her to give her notice. We really feel she needs to at this point focus on school and graduation.

Becca has just been trying to find her nich in high school. She had basketball tryouts and made jv. She has open gym for softball on Sundays, so that's where she spends her weekend. If she had her way she would be playing softball on the time. We have been looking for camps. The top choice is CWU.

The boys, are keeping us on our toes. Soccer is over. Basketball started, it is kind of lame if you ask me. We found out we have a "mat club" We ended up signing the boys up for wrestling also. We go to wrestling on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. They have basketball on Thursday (before wrestling) and Saturday. I don't believe in having kids do 2 sports at this age but they love wrestling which goes until the end of Feb and basketball ends Dec 13th. It is a very good thing we have late start every Friday morning. Dalton did not want to do wrestling but gave 2 practices a try and he loves it. We try and not have the boys wrestle each other. It makes them very happy. I just don't get why they want to be so different. They are twins.

In other news, my dad won the race for mayor of our small rural town. Congrats. There seems to be alot of city council drama going on right now. Oh well, politics for you. Hopefully, I will keep up with this.

I close with some pictures.......
