High School Musical

Well I am waiting for Scott to get out of the shower so Ashlee can put on her "show" to songs from High School Musical. Her idea lol. I am watching her practice right now and I am lovin it. She is too much. Very sassy and cute. As yesterday when we were leaving the gym she had to go the bathroom so she went back in to use the bathroom and came out telling me "Consider Yourself Lucky because look what I found"!! It was Scotty's cup. LOL I was like what??? excuse me lol. The things she comes out with. I am dumb founded at times. She is sharp as a tack and very quick with her responses too. Just had to jot that down. She is my handful but can be very rewarding!

Counting down the days to SCHOOL!!!!

I really CANNOT wait till school starts. I never thought i would be the Mom who said this but I totally get it now lol. The kids really need to get back to it. They are bored, fighting with each other. Making me nuts. I have had their backpacks packed and by the door ready to go since last week. I love them to death but we all need school to just start already. Richie will go 3 full days and on those days I will get things out of the way that I need to. Scotty will have peace and I look foward to Scotty and Mommy time like Ashlee and Richie both had to themselves. Fall will be here and it will be so refreshing! Well here is Ashlee about to read this now..so I am out!

A Chef Pampered-world on my shoulders

Well last night I hosted a Pampered Chef party for Jenn. It was fun. She did great. Not a surprise, this is up her alley. I hope she did well from it also. A few people couldn't make it but it still turned out pretty good. Scott took the kids to Adventureland so that was great, for me! They had alot of fun and didn't get home till about 11:30. Well Jenine's mom, Joyce-who is like a mom to me..had said that I seemed like I had the world on my shoulders. Made me take a look at myself and she is right. Jenine said it too earlier that day. I try not to let the family drama get to me, but apparently it has. I can feel the tension in my body. Not good. I try not to let things get to me but I guess it happens to us all. I hope soon it will all end and I can breathe easier. I don't want to hear the name Lee ever again after it is all said and done. I always had a vision of him dying early and tragically. Hope not, but with all the opportunities he has had, he blows them all up in smoke!! Well onto a better spirited day..I hope lol.

Here is Ashlee's work w/ Richie when he was little

Ash is at it again! My poor boys

LOL Scotty's turn. Ashlee used to dress up Richie when he was little and now on to Scotty...future blackmail pics? lol

Rainy Day

It's raining, It's pouring, the old man is snoring..he went to bed and "busted" his head and couldn't get up in the mornin' ( as ashlee would say ) LOL Well it's raining and we're all bored. Don't feel like putting away all the laundry. I have to though Grr. Nothing really else, boring.

Busy

I am tired! Just got home from the State Tournament which was out in Ridge. A bit of a ride. Scott races for the Fire Dept that he is a member of. He has been a volunteer for a long time. Loves racing. It's fun, the kids have a lot of fun watching and running around with other kids. Richie "races" too lol. He can't wait to be a Junior. Long day, Had to get up and going early this morning after being out late last night for Jenn's Bd get together, that is always fun!!! Tomorrow I have to head out for Rachael's daughter's Christening..going to meet them at the "Bulldog Grille" after they are out of the church since Scott has to march in the State Parade out in Selden. Rachael understands about me taking all 3 kids to the Church would be insane, so she will call when they are on their way. Well off to snooze...

My sweet Scotty ( Jenine where is his hand in the first pic?) LOL

Bye Bye House Bye Bye Tooth

So today I went to my mom's house. Jenine was very nice to offer to take Ash and Richie while I went. So I go with my camcorder and camera and tried to get some memory on file, but I can't see myself ever forgetting that house or anything about it! I will miss it so much. I was hoping I would get some sort of sign of Mom especially in her room or the room she always was in around the clock ( she actually was found in this room) but nothing. I know she is there but I am always "looking" for her. My oldest brother and his wife and 3 kids moved in pretty much as soon as she died, pathetic and didn't pay a dime towards taxes or utilities but did let their kids trash the place with sharpie markers/stickers all over the place and just plain nastyness.. there is so many reasons I resent my brother. I don't even consider him a brother, that is all I can say. I do miss my Goddaughter and their other 2 daughters are almost the same age as Ash and Richie too..unfortunate. As he is in rehab for what the 6th time now? Nice But anyway, after I went back to Jenine's w/ some lunch and the kids got to play some more. Not bad, 3 days in a row they got to play with each other lol. As we were there Ashlee lost her 2nd top front tooth. This will make the 4th trip for the Tooth Fairy so far. Scotty is getting them, Ashlee is losing them lol.

Play date

Had a fun day yesterday. Us girls got together with our kids at my house, Jenine,Erik, Kay, Dyl,Jenn,Jules,Jonny, Bren,Brian, Aidan and Kevin. I ordered pizza and the kids spent most of the day in the pool, playing on the trampoline and the swings. It was a good day, nice weather too. Then Ash had cheer and Scott and I went out to dinner after I picked her up a bit early. It was nice, who knows when we'll be doing that again, since our babysitter is leaving for school!! :(
Well today I am going to my mom's. Looks like it is going to rain today, it's supposed to. How suiting lol. I meant to take pics yesterday, totally forgot !!!!

Sadness

Well Today was a good day. Took the kids over to Jenine's and they played and went in the pool. We had lunch and was just nice. Tomorrow is A play date over my house..should be pretty much the same. Jenn and her kids and Brenda and her boys should be coming over too. Kids galore. It'll be fun. Tomorrow night Scott and I are going out to dinner before our babysitter goes back to school. Going to Aqua Blue, never been before, but heard it was good. Thursday I am going over to my Mom's house by myself for 1 last time I guess. I will have the kids but hopefully it will be closure for me. I am going to miss that house. I miss it already. The smell and everything. Going to be weird not seeing my mom there. I never went there without my mom being home, other than when I lived there and she was at work or whatever. I am feeling so sad lately. My heart is aching w/ just missing people. Especially my mom. But Thursday we should be in contract and soon it will be someone else's home. I hope they make it a good home whatever happens.

First Post

Ok, My first post lol. Finally right, Jenine? I will try to keep up with this. Hmmm..where do I start? I am actually kinda cranky right now. All I can say is school needs to start back up :X I love my kids with ALL of my heart but they have been getting me crazy lately. Ashlee and her attitude, Richie and his whining and Scotty just being his age lol. I don't have much of a break, besides Friday nights which I am SO grateful for. Some days I wish I had someone to just come and take my kids, heck even 1 kid out for a bit. Today I have alot of laundry to do, which always seems to be the case. Always cleaning! WOW I seem so very cranky, this turned out to be 1 big Vent blog lol. But it's all good. Ok back to my chores :::whisling while I work::::
