First off, this is what I have probably looked like this past month -

And the house still looks a little like this -

Now on to what you might have heard!

The Hubby – What does that sign say? Alvin Heights???

Me – OMGosh! You should realllly wear your glasses! It says ASIA KITCHEN!!!!

We started watching the North America series on Discovery Channel. At one point it shows a bobcat trying to catch a mole.

Colin (hysterically laughing) – LOOK!!! The bobcat is playing Whack – a – Mole!!!!!

Afterward the bobcat starts playing with the dead mole.

We were watching another episode of North America, this one with mountain goats, the other night. The little baby mountain goat was too scared to cross the river.

Colin – Mommy, sometimes you just have to get over your fears.

The narrator – Sometimes you just have to get over your fears.

Colin – HEY!! He copied me!!!!!

 

 

 

Colin – I am so hungry I can feel the stomach acid eating away at my insides. (He’s 6, BTW….)

 

The day the movers came it was raining. No, it wasn’t just raining, it was a mini monsoon!! Naturally….

Anyway, the movers only really had one choice when I came to unloading our stuff. They were going to have to block the street for a little while.

Now, that being said, this is NOT a main thoroughfare. It is NOT a dead end street. It is a VERY small, quiet, neighborhood street. There MIGHT be 20 houses on it but I doubt it.

So, the movers put out the orange triangle things and the fun begins.

Most people calmly turned around went another way.

Some did NOT.

One “lady” (and I use the term VERY loosely) – ***BEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*** (She is just laying on that horn for all it’s worth like the movers are just going to drop our couch and move out of her way.)

Me – So sorry! But you will have to go around!

The “lady” – What the !#$%??? Why the !#$% did you block the road? I go down this !#$%ing street everyday!

Me – Well, today you will just have to turn around and go another way. Sorry.

The “lady” – ***BEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEP*** (She then throws trash out of her window.) You are a !#$%ing @#$%^&!

She continues on in that way until she turns around.

I think what ticked me off most was her littering!! There was just no call for that! LOL

Deanna has gone on a diet. Now first let me say that I do NOT condone it…. I have been trying and trying and trying to tell her to just cut out the junk, add more fruits and veggies and exercise more… She is a teenage girl so you can probably figure out how far I got with that…

She and Joshua have a bet going. If she wins (by staying on the diet 3 weeks) she gets to shoot him with an air soft gun. If she cheats on the diet she has to buy Joshua a game.

Can I just say that I am now sick to death of Joshua running to me and asking if XYZ is OK for her to eat?????? OH MY GOSH!!!  I swear he must ask me 10 times a day!!!!

Thankfully there is just one more week to go!! I hope we can all get through it without taping Joshua’s mouth shut!! LOL

If you’ve been following along you know that we spent 2 weeks in 2 hotel rooms…. SIGH….

Joshua – Oh, no!!! Dad is going down to the other room to use the bathroom! I was getting ready to go down there and play a game. I guess I’ll just have to wait now.

The next day The Hubby went back down to the 2nd room…. As he came out of the bathroom Joshua says, “It stinks in here,” in a very depressed tone. LOL

One day the hotel decided to check the fire alarms in the rooms. Over and over and over again. We were about ready to hurt someone by the time it was over.

One day (still while staying at the hotel) Joshua comes up from the vending machines.

Joshua – I am NEVER getting on that elevator again! I swear it’s possessed! It made this awful noise!

He then tried to imitate it.

The next day I talk him into going down to the laundry with me.

He was right. The elevator was DEFINITELY possessed. It took a few days before I could be convinced to ride on it again…. It sounded like the elevator from hell!!!!

I realized yesterday that I made a BIG mistake in my sewing room/library….. I accidentally covered all the outlets with bookshelves!!!!

I was in a bit of a panic for a little while until I saw that if I pulled one of the shelves out just a tiny bit, I could fit my hand behind there and reach an outlet. SHEW!!!

Some days I think my brain is on vacation. I just wish it would take the rest of me with it!!!!

The Hubby was going down the stairs the other night and we hear – OUCH!! What the HE&&???

Colin – My booby trap worked!!!

The Hubby – I hate Legos.

And now for some of my favorite LOLCats! ;)

As usual I pretty much forgot a lot of the stuff that happened. I even added stuff to my iPhone this time but instead of writing what happened I left myself keywords…. With my memory that didn’t help very much…. LOL I still can’t remember what “wainbows” means!!!

OMGosh!! Do I have some good ones for you this month!!! ROFLMBO!!!!!

 

 

 

I have been having Joshua and Deanna help out with supper a lot lately. The fibro has NOT been kind to me….

ANYWAY, I am resting in my room when the following happens.

Deanna opens the door and walks in. She has a beater from the mixer STUCK IN HER HAIR!!!!

Deanna – Momma, Momma!!! Help me get this out!!!!

Me – *hysterical laughter* Can’t breath!!! *more hysterical laughter* I’ll help you….. Just give me a second. *more hysterical laughter*

Deanna – This is going on your blog isn’t it?

Me – You better believe it.

I almost grabbed my camera…. LOL ;)

 

 

 

Deanna and I are in my room chatting when Joshua walks in.

Joshua – Did you know if you smack a bonkey’s mutt…

Deanna shoots Sprite out of her nose.

I collapse in a fit of laughter with tears streaming down my face.

We never did find out what happens if you smack a monkey’s butt…..

 

 

 

While we were at The Wilderness at the Smokies we had to get on the elevator about a thousand times.

Deanna – You can run out of air in an elevator!!!

Me – Ummm… NO, you can’t!

Deanna – Yes!! You can!

Me – Ummmm… NO, YOU CAN’T! It’s isn’t air tight or anything!!  Air can still get in!

 

 

 

Cailey to Deanna – I am just so unappreciated.

 

 

 

 

SIGH……

The Hubby’s friend talked him into playing Farmville 2. Then the rest of us were roped in. SIGH…. And now we are all addicted.

At least a few times a day you can hear The Hubby on the phone with his friend having serious conversations about crops and livestock. Trust me, it’s freakin’ hilarious!!!!

 

On more Farmville 2 news……

The Hubby to me – Your farm is a mess! There are animals everywhere! You know what that means…. Animal sh*^…..

Me to The Hubby – You realize it isn’t a real farm, right???? There is NO animal crap!!!!

 

 

 

We are watching The Voice on DVR when The Hubby starts fast forwarding.

Me – What are you doing? I want to hear the stories!!

The Hubby – I don’t! I don’t want to hear about some “unique, 2 armed, one legged man”. They will only get by because the audience feels sorry for them. (There was actually no story of the kind. He was just being facetious.)

A few days later we are watching The Walking Dead with Joshua and Deanna. Hershel comes on the screen and Deanna busts out laughing!!

Deanna – OMGOSH!! It’s a unique, 2 armed, one legged man!!!!!

The Hubby was not amused…. But the rest of us thought it was hilarious!! ;)

 

 

 

Colin and Deanna are playing Harry Potter Legos together.

Colin lets one rip.

Colin to Deanna – That wasn’t in the game!

He then starts laughing hysterically.

 

 

Deanna – Oh! Hey! I can lick my armpit!!!

 

Cailey – I can make my neck fart!!!!!!

 

Colin to Cailey – Cailey, just look at the predicament you got us into!!!

 

Colin – She means that wigglerly. (He meant literally.)

 

There’s more but dumby me forgot to write them down!!

 

Don’t forgot to check out the other blogs!!!

Fly on the Wall

A ginormous thank you to Baking In A Tornado for setting this up and great big I’M SORRY for being so late getting mine posted… I sort of forgot… I’m going to blame it on the concussion…. ;)
Soooo, if you were a fly on the wall in MY house here are a few things you might hear…..
Deanna- Mom, you’re out of Diet Pepsi and Dad is out of coffee and ice.
Me- Snot!
The Hubby- You need to go to the store and get coffee, ice and ….. snot???? Wait…. What?? Did one of you say you needed snot??
Me- Never mind…. LOL
Deanna – Hey! The cat’s tail is in the garbage disposal.
Me- NO!! You cannot turn it on!!!!!!
Deanna – Can I put tape on the cats’ ears?
Me- NO!!!!!!!!!! And not on ANY part of their bodies!!!!!
Colin to me – I was born to be awesome!
Me – Yes, you were, Buddy. LOL
We were sitting on the front porch the other day and Deanna gets up to walk off. Her sock snagged on a nail and she went flying. Then she gives me this look like WHY did I do that to her??? I said, “It wasn’t me!!!!” Then she realized it was a nail!
The best part was that she had been trying to walk off in a huff. Hee hee hee!!!
Here’s the basic routine of an average day in my house lately…..
5 am – The Hubby wakes me up. I stagger around for a few minutes and then he asks if I’m ready to take him to work. Ummmm…. NOOOO!!! But do I have a choice????
6 am – I am usually home by now and trying to decide if it would be worth it to go back to sleep. LOL
8 am –  Joshua wakes up by himself. This morning it scared the crud outta me! I had been hearing noises all morning and was trying to stealthily walk through the house brandishing a Swiffer as a weapon. You know, just in case some weirdo had gotten into the house somehow. I walk down the hall and look in the playroom, empty. Then I look in Joshua’s room, also empty. As I turn toward the girls’ room Joshua jumps out of it and screams BOO!!!! I then scream bloody murder. It was a wonder I didn’t wake the house!
9 am – Colin wakes up and screeches MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
10 am – I go in for about the 5th time to try to get the girls out of bed.
Lately we have been trying and trying and trying to get all unpacked and the house in order….. SIGH……
I heard myself utter these words the day before yesterday, “If I see another science book I am going to SCREAM to high heaven!” The kids, “OH MY GOSH!! Mom has lost it!!! Did you hear what she said about books????”
OH!!!! And while we are on the topic of books some of my friends had some witty remarks to make about my “Book Shelf Incident”.
My Cousin Peggy -”I guess those words really did hurt!”
My friend Wende – “That gives a whole new meaning to being buried in a book!”
Yeah, they are a real laugh riot… ;) LOL
