Some days I think I'm crazy other days I know I'm crazy!

Well I'm finished with our Halloween Adult Costume Party and it was an amazing success. It is so nice to have just "Adult" time. Don't get me wrong I love each and everyone of my children dearly but I also like to have "ME" time!
Well Another month down for this year and you would think realizing that this year is almost over I would just mellow out? But no.......... I'm sitting here thinking of the million and one projects I have in mind. But mainly I'm thinking about my 3 year old son's bedroom which I really want to redecorate to my taste, but then I stop and think about being a child and the fond memories I have that I would never forget til the day I die and I thought "You know he is only going to be 3 for a year and he is only going to have the imagination and the innocence for just about 8 more years if we can help it so I thought about doing a mural in his bedroom.
He loves loves dinosaurs and dragons.....not my idea of fun but he is an All American BOY! And he loves loves love the movie "How to train your Dragon" so I thought to myself "Self, you need to decorate that child's room like a dragon fortress or something of that effect.: So here I am creating in my OCD/ADHD mind an idea of what and how to create his own DRAGON CAVE.......
And this my friends is when I realize I AM CRAZY!
My husband is going to completely thrilled. YEE HAW! Stay tuned!

Serious? I really have a little guy that has no supervision

So today is one of those days as usual. I am going non-stop and today is no different than any other day. I sleep for a couple of hours after coming home off grave yard. Take the little monster to daycare and come back to catch a few zzzzzz's before another night of grave yard. But hey no big deal because I'm off this weekend and have lots of plans. Day of watching my 13 yr old in the playoffs, then a rendevous with my hubby on an overnight excursion. It's all good. I can handle tonight even though the sleeping could have been more.
So as you know my hubby and I have very demanding jobs. They are professional jobs that require alot of PR....it's all good I can charm with the best of them.
So the hubby man is doing what he does best and is charming those that line our wallets and I'm preparing to get ready to line mine. Well I'm showered half way dressed and the 13 yr old child is off to football. Well I realize the hubby man is not home yet. So I call him and he has lost track of time. He is 3 hrs out by the time he finishes up and I am about to go on duty in 5 minutes. Well the daughter child (18) is not home. But we are still looking at the time. There is plenty of time to get someone here.
Oh and my pretty little neighbor girl loves earning the extra dollars. So I will just call her to run right over and we can get this show on the road. Well my pretty neighbor girl can't do it today. YEP! She is unavailable. I'm like WTH!? So I frantically call my sister that is across town, she doesn't answer. I frantically call the neighbor lady, she is at her part time job! I frantically call my cousin, she is off to the gym. Ok I'm stressing it's getting closer and closer to the time I have to leave. But wait the phone is ringing..... Yay it's my sister.
Me: What you doing?
Her: Brushing my teeth so I can head to my dental appt.
Me: Dang it
Her: Why what did you need?
Me: I don't have a sitter and I have to go on duty in 10 minutes. And no one is here to relieve my motherly duties
Her: I'm just going to the dentist. He can go with and he and the girl niece can play
Me: Oh really? Are you sure? *privately hoping she doesn't say No I really can't*
Her: Yah that's fine.
Me: Can you come get him *cringing because I am depending so much on her to disrupt her busy life*
Her: Yes I will be over in a minute
Me: Ok thanks
Hang up the phone and hear "MOMMY! My tummy hurts! I pooped in my underwears!"
What? are you freaking kidding me? This child hasn't had an accident in a long time! What in the heck am I going to do?
Walk into the bathroom and low and behold the child is sick. He looks like he must have the flu.
OMG! Serious? No daycare, my sister has two children; ages 6 and 6 months and my son might have the flu. Not good. Ok then *pick up the phone and dial my Sgt.*
Me: Sgt *BlanK* Ummm I'm having a bit of an issue a little emergency with my baby. Umm I'm not going to make it in tonight *cringing because I don't ever call in sick*
Sgt. *Blank* Ok have a good night
Me: thanks
Wow...... that easy huh? Well time to clean the child up. Run the bath water and get him in.
Nice, what in the heck am I going to make for dinner?
Dominos.....yep good old fashioned Pizza! YUCK!

My life as I know it.....

So I have been living in the fast lane. As you can tell because I haven't posted in a long time.
Yep you know the whole usual of working full time, picked up a part-time job making bank for a short period of time, remodeling the house, trying to find a costume for our Halloween party, dealing with my teenage son getting suspended from school, cooking, cleaning, doing another part-time job or hair on the side, being a wife & mother.  But hey it's all for a good cause right?
So the last two weeks I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have become the basket case that everyone has thought I was. So I "Use" to have this dirty little habit and quit it approximately 4 years and 1 month ago. Well I decided to pick that dirty little habit up again and I'm beginning to hate myself. I hide from my husband and kids. I know I shouldn't but yes I have picked up the "oh I can't even say the word".....
Anyway I just don't know how I'm going to quit again. I worked so hard in staying away but this time it took over my life. I plan on quitting after this pack but I really enjoy it. I always did. I only quit because I was going to try and get pregnant.
Well I have been attempting to keep myself busy to try to quit but it's not working.
I'm hoping that after this week my life will be back on track but I really doubt that.
I have a closet to mud, tape, sand and paint before our Halloween party on the 29th, I have a headboard to finish, candles, watches and signs to make all before Thanksgiving and some shelving to pull out and put new in. I'm thinking December maybe a great month to look at quitting that dirty little habit.
What do you think?

Tomorrow's a new day for my baby boy

So, we have finally decided that we are going to take our second child out of public school and put him into a private school.

It was a very hard choice to make and he cried uncontrollably when we told him.

It broke my heart but it is something that we have to do.

He is such a good kid, but he is a chameleon. He fits in with everyone.

If it's a bad situation he is there full force and the leader of the pack.

If it's a good situation there he is again Full Force ready to be the leader once again.

We have chosen to put him in a Christian school. It is going to be good for each and everyone of us.

They have bible study every day, they have chapel every Wednesdays and the classes are small.

Yeah!

Well tomorrow is the day and we will see how all goes. Hopefully it goes well. I am so excited.

Holla the shelving is done!

WOW! I'm totally amazed with my creations. There is no better feeling to have than to think up an idea and it turns out alot better than I anticipated.
So my closet in my bedroom was a total mess! Seriously? Who thinks of these stupid, impractical closet organizers? It must be a man because they do not have many clothes.
So I'm the one in this household that does any remodeling or organizing. I'm an organizer about everything, I'm so organized that I'm disorganized if that makes any sense.
So I'm sitting on my bed one day trying to take in how messy my room has become since I remarried. He blames me, I blame him. I look at my closet and think what a bunch of wasted space. So I tell him, I'm going to rip out the shelving in the closet put rods in and re-shelve. He's like whatever....(cause he's thinking if she's doing it I'm not having to & that means more John Wayne movies)....
Well I pull everything out of my closet and begin....Only problem? I don't have the strength. WOW what in the heck did they use concrete slabbing to hold them in place? Geez. So he comes home to a disaster and wants to know why I haven't got it done. Well sweet cheeks I need your braun, so will you get in there and tear out the shelving and I will do the rest?
You can see the tormenting pain in his face. But he says he will. A week and a half later the bottom portion is out. I put in the closet rod and shelving to the bottom portion and he comes home last night and is totally impressed. And he is willing to help me with me other ideas....to include framing a wall in....HOLLA!

Back to work and didn't get everything done......

Well the Labor Day vacation is over. I only have to work 2 days but I didn't get everything done that I had anticipated. I'm attempting to get my bedroom closet re-organized. I have pulled out the shelving & am putting a bar completely across. I have way too many clothes to include my husband's and not enough room. So I have decided to design something more practical which entails ripping out the old shelving & replacing it in a different area. Stay tuned for my pics. I'm actually embarrassed I did not take a pic before but rather after I started tearing it apart. UGH *note* my closet doesn't look like this normally but I feel like it looked this way so I decided to change it up......
I only work the 2 days and then I'm back to the grind stone of organizing this house!

Labor Day Weekend 2010~

Well we had an amazing Labor Day weekend.
We left Utah on Thursday to join my family in witnessing my cousin and his new bride confirm their love at their wedding. This event took place in Washington.
It has been a bit of an interesting trip with 3 kids ranging from 3 to 18 driving 8 hours straight through. Needless to say Thank the Lord for DVD players (3 to be exact), lots of junk food and a cooler full of drinks.
We decided to make it a bit of a family vacation.
I really enjoy the time I spend with my mom's sister Bonnie. I miss her so much and am not able to see her alot. Everytime I walk away from a weekend with her, her husband and her children I think I need to take more trips to see her.
The wedding was beautiful. Courtney was a beautiful bride and Beau was a handsome groom.
We are now on our way home from our festivities and should be home around 4 a.m.
We could not take ourselves away from our family but figured we better because Kylee has to work graveyard tomorrow night :(
I keep holding onto the fact that I will be retired in 7 years and 10 months and then I can make Washington or Oregon my permanent home. Ya buddy.
Well I better put the computer away, it makes it hard to drive....kidding, I'm the passenger.
