Kids are so funny. My son was singing the same song I used to sing at the end of the school year. Of course he didn’t know that I could hear him and I didn’t say anything to him, but I did get a chuckle out of it. I know that you know which song I am talking about. No more teachers, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks, when the teacher rings the bell. Drop your books and run like 7734. I am still giggling over that.
Something new or used?
I have been trying to decide weather or not to get a new car or a used one. I am pretty sure I am going to go with used. I found this site that I really like with great cars on it. They have a lot of really nice cars and they are much more affordable than what I was looking at new. I got Credit Approval online in just a few minutes and have already picked out a couple of cars I really like.
The used cars I saw on the blog were clean and looked like brand new. I can’t wait to go buy myself a new to me car. It is always exciting when you can buy something for yourself, especially something as large as a car. The kids are going to be really happy too, because the AC in the old one doesn’t work and they constantly complain about it.
Too busy lately
Gosh I have been too busy lately. I cannot wait for summer to get here so I can have some really good R & R. I want a full week with no getting up at the crack of down to get kids ready for school and packing lunches etc… I am so glad that school is almost over. The hectic schedule tends to get to you about half way through the year and by the end of the school year, you are ready to jump ship almost. I am so at that point.
New park
I am so happy they re did the park down the street. It was looking raggedy and needed a makeover. We got new park benches that look amazing, and believe it or not they are actually comfortable. I took the kids there after school today for a little while to unwind. They really enjoyed it and want to come back over the weekend for a picnic or BBQ. I think that just might be possible if the weather holds nice.
They put in brand new commercial picnic tables for us to have our picnic on as well as new grills to cook on. I am so happy about that. We can have birthday celebrations there again. Before we couldn’t because the equipment was just plain falling apart. I think it is supposed to be a bit windy but not too much. That means I can buy some kites for the kids to fly. I know they will absolutely love that. We haven’t done that in so long, I can’t even remember when the last time was.
Slow start this morning
Gosh I really have gotten a slow start this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed at all and I have so much work to do. I got side tracked yesterday with the kids and work kind of slid off to the side. Today I have to really get on it. I am backed up so far it will take the rest of the week to catch up. No matter though, I have my coffee and I am ready to rock and roll!
Not this year
I am determined not to lose power this year when the storms come through. Last year was horrible. It seemed like every week we were without power for anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days. I am not going through that again. If we lose power I will have generatorsAtoZ to thank for us not losing power ourselves. I am buying a generator and having it set up to direct connect to my breaker box. GeneratorsAtoZ have a lot of models to choose from and my dad has told me which ones are good for my needs.
Having kids and losing power from a storm is not a good thing. Kids need to have something to keep their minds off of the deadly storms and the aftermath, at least for a little while each day. With generatorsAtoZ, I don’t have to worry about dealing with storm damage and bored or upset kids. They can be easily distracted so long as we have electricity.
New spice rack
I am so happy. I bought a new spice rack for my kitchen. My old one just seemed to fall apart. I seem to be a bit hard on my spice racks for some reason, but to be honest, I do a lot of cooking. I have a large family and we get together a lot on the weekends. I am constantly cooking food for one family get together or another. Add my friends get together’s and I am always in the kitchen.
You would think that kitchen spice racks would hold up better then they have, but maybe this new one from a different company will. I certainly hope so. Then again, I have kids and they like to cook for themselves sometimes too. That is actually how the last one broke. My new one is made of stainless steel, so I am confident that it will last a long while. I have instructed the children to be more careful of course, but then I do that all the time and it usually doesn’t help much. They are a rowdy bunch.
Always something
There is always something when it comes to kids. I have one who has been consistently sick for the last few weeks. I had to take him to the hospital last night because he was coughing so badly he could barely breath. Of course, the ER doctor was about a moron and didn’t do much for him. The nurse however went and got him something to help alleviate his cough and help him sleep. Gotta love nurses.
Woke up with a headache
I can see that my day is going to be a bad one already. I woke up with a headache, then stepped in dog pee on the way to the bathroom. That is a sure sign that my day is going to really suck. I don’t know why the dog was in the house to being with, but someone is going to get their rear chewed out for that. These kids know better then to let the dog stay in the house.
Upset
I am really upset. Mom was supposed to come pick up the kids on Sunday and take them to spend spring break with her and dad. Then she said Monday and then Tuesday and guess what? She just called and said tomorrow. WTF ? I was looking forward to some time with my honey for just us and the kids were looking forward to spending time with her. Now the kids are disappointed and I am pissed off. I didn’t take anything out for dinner because they weren’t going to be here and now I don’t know what the heck to feed my family. I am so not happy right now.
