Fear...

So I am a facebook addict seriously I do those living social things all the time. You know pick your top five (Insert whatever here) and tonight I did one about fears. Now I can be a rather rational person I do think about things but no matter how rational you think you are everyone has a bit of irrationalness in them. mine are my fears some make seance, like Loosing my children. Be it by death or kidnapping, or running away, or when they grow up them wanting nothing to do with me that is a fear that any mother can understand, and the only one my rational mind can say say, "yep that is a good fear." of my other 4 I can rationalize 2 of them but you may still think me as being nuts. 

Zombies, not like scooby doo zombies but like mutated humans from I am legend... that scares me out of my mind because I can see how that could maybe happen... biochemical warfare, or toxins in the water or food or whatever... yeah terrifying. Loud noises not kids shouting, or tv blaring or even sirens but fireworks, cannon fire, thunder...stuff like that. I KNOW why I am terrified of that. When I was a kid I saw my older brothers concert I couldn't have been more than 4 they played the 1812 orchestra complete with cannons I remember cowering under my mom coat and ever since then loud noises like that scare me out of my wits. (J thinks it is hilarious by the way the jerk.)

Now bring on the irrationalities. Scary Clowns. I blame this on Stephen King as will many others with this fear. Thanks to that book and the movie IT my generation has a fear for clown and storm drains *laughs* I can't stand ICP not just because their music sucks but because they scare the crap out of me with that makeup and stuff (truthfully even KISS scares me with all the face paint but at least their music rocks my socks off) And lastly bungee jumping. You could offer me the world and I would not do it. The ONLY way I would EVER bungee jump is in the unlikely event of having to bungee jump to save one of my kids... I can't even stand to watch people bungee jump... I have this fear of the cord being to long, or stretched out, or snapping, or my legs ripping off the list goes on and on. *laughs* 

I don't know what the point to this blog was I guess I just need to write a bit before bed and so i write about what I fear the most of to dream land now... I sometimes question my sanity...

Lazy girl

Ok the princess CAN walk but she WON'T! Seriously she stands all on her own, when she isn't being goofy she walks with us holding her hands just fine she furniture cruises like nobodies bussiness but let  go of her hands and she flops on the floor and crawls... she is nearly 15 months and won't walk grrrrrr

L's First Skateboarding accident

So the boys got a skateboard handed down to them, stupid mommy that I am had no problem with them sitting on it and riding with no helmet thinking "how hurt can they get sitting down" well Yesterday we were all playing outside and suddenly Landon is screaming his head off. Mind you this is not unusual but for some reason I jumped up and ran to him and sure enough he had hit his head when he fell of the board it looks even worse today (pictures are from 10 min after the accident) because like a typical 2 year old he can't leave the owwy alone and keep scratching at it. So now the skateboard is put up until I buy 3 helmets. yes I am even buying the girl one because I am sure soon as she decides to walk she will be chasing the boys trying to ride that stupid thing as well.

my daughter and the snot sucker

Warning this is gross and funny :)

So my girl has a cold and a YUCKY nose and since she still can't blow her nose I am still using that green bulb thingy that I so aptly call the snot sucker. Well my boys hated/hate that thing like I had to pin them down and do it while they were screaming bloody murder seriously. Well after a long night of tears from her and me. I found the trusty snot sucker. (I was thinking I had lost it...) and I go through the motions of pinning my child down picture this if you will a mommy and a princess who have both been up for nearly 20 hours at 4:30 am in the living room her laying on the floor mommy sitting between the girls legs pinning her legs, her arms, and holding her head with my legs. Now time for the screaming right? Nope she is giggleing. Ok so she thinks we are playing right sure she is going to scream soon as the snot sucker starts sucking. So I go ahead and get to work it sucks the snot out she coughs a little and then LAUGHS like seriously the funniest thing she has ever seen laughing. Ok so she is weird I do it again and again with the cough and laughter this happens every time even later on after she has gotten sleep so it isn't just sleepy silliness. So weird....

The Zoo

Most of the Gang, Only one of the nieces DH and SIL are not in the picture

The kids in truck one at a brief stop at Hoover Dam

Take one dodge ram, one ford explorer, 7 kids (one who may as well be an adult) and 4 adults and a 5ish hour drive and you have our trip to the Zoo. H (my SIL) and I took all the older kids in the explorer while BIL and j took the 2 littles. The trip there was reltivly uneventful and few bickerment between the nephews but other than that we were good. When we got there J was in a Pissy mood but had very little sleep so I guess we can forgive that. We saw all sorts of creatures, the only thing that was on boos list that was not there was a Hippopotamus. But we saw everything we could while there and all the kids had a blast. The adults well I had fun as did H but i think the guys were wishing they had stayed home. but oh well on them if you want to see the full string of pictures let me know :)

hi ho hi ho its off to the zoo we go...

so are you on blog over load from me yet? I've gone from posting every few weeks to at least one sometimes two blogs a day. Honestly it is a writing exersise to get rid of my writers block that has stalled out my book I am trying to write yet again :) anyways we are getting ready to head to the zoo in AZ tomorrow morning (Like we are leaving by 5:30 am!) this should be interesting no? Prepare for a good blog Friday night or Saturday morning with pictures if I have time to take any, I hope I do since this is a first for all my kids, AND my husband!

Kermit the frog

So growing up Kermy was always on Sesame street, so was ms. Piggy and various other "Muppets" But with Sesame street nowadays I guess Kermy isn't a regular. I truthfully have mastered the art of tuning out PBS for the most part (I can't tune out dragon tales or Sid the science kid yet but that is ok) anyways while I am zoned out in my book today Boo runs up to me and goes "MOMMY Kermit the frog is on Sesame street!" He thought it was so cool he only know Kermit from the various Muppet movies we have (mainly treasure island and Christmas carol) So when he saw him on "My favorite tv show mommy" *laughs* well it was a BIG deal *Laughs* wouldn't you like to see the world through the eyes of a nearly 5 year old again?

Mommy you're white

OK keep in mind Boo was delayed on talking so at nearly 5 he still tends to leave some words out of a sentence. 

Earlier today we were getting ready to go to my BIL's house so the guys could work on the Expedition so that we can take it to Phoenix on Friday, and Boo walks up to me and says 'Mommy you white?" I am kinnda stunned thinking "oh boy this is gonna be interesting. I am not ready to explain how just cause people look different we are all the same" and several other thoughts are all racing through my mind so I just say, "OK..." and wait for him to finish then he says "And daddy's brown!" HUH? OK I am confused at this point since J is only slightly less ghostly pale than I am *laughs* So I asked him "what do you mean baby?" and he looks at me like I am a total idiot and says "Mommy's truck white! Daddy's is Brown"  *rolls eyes* brat. *laughs* 

Mommy is not a road

What is it about kids and thinking you are going to change your answer if they ask again or if they tack a pretty please on the question? This is L and Boo's stage right now Boo is the asker, L well he goes and uses me as a road for his cars I don't know why but that REALLY annoys me like more that I can express *laughs* well anyways he uses me as a road, my leg, my arms, my head anywhere he can reach and I say NO mommy is NOT a road (add that to the list of things I never thought I would have to say!) and about 3 seconds later Lightining McQueen is driving up my foot again. This time since it is my highly tickelish foot my poor boy gets a reflex kick in the hand (I always feel bad about this but he KNOWS it is going to happen since daddy was the one to show him how bad mommys feet are...Thanks dear...) I say No again next time here comes Lightining McQueen again this time he becomes mommy's car and is up in Hay's closet drawer along with Mater, Doc Hudson and Various no named cars. Maybe when he runs out of cars he will get the picture... Or move on to Dinosaurs *le sigh*

one second she is like this

and then she saw the camera *rolls eyes* drama queen!

I am at a loss with the Princess she has taken to throwing herself on the floor and screaming if she is really Pissed normally if she just isn't getting what she wants she lays in crawling position and puts her head down and cries (moderately cute in reality except for the drama queen aspect of it)neither of the boys did this I mean they threw tantrums but not for attention! 99.9% of the time she is fake crying just to get my attention. Do I just ignore this? Do I do what dad says and give her a swat on the butt thus giving her a reason to cry? I am LOST! I love having my girl at last but OMG she is dramarific at ONE!!!! HELP!

Going crazy

It is official my kids cannot get along. I am sure every mom feels this way at some point or another especially when the kids are so close in age. The little ones are testing their boundaries nearly constantly right now, She picks on him, he hits her, she pulls his hair, he pinches her GRRR and then when L isn't picking on his sister he is irritating his brother by playing with his superman or something equally annoying to Boo. Boo and the baby girl rarely fight unless she decides she want to touch his food or drink from his cup. But there is always at least one kid screaming here unless they are getting into something or sleeping, and the thought that runs through my mind is even though I don't want them to grow up to fast or whatever I have 15 more years before there is no more fighting... 17 years until I can take a shower and be guaranteed to not be interrupted by a kid (and even then they could call ask my mom *laughs*)
