Hot Saturday

Gosh it was hot today! I keep saying I don't know what I am going to do in the real heat of summer but I guess it doesn't matter because we will be at the beach! HA! It was 92 degrees today!

Grayce had a game this morning. She pitched and did a great job. I had to be in the dugout. That means you keep the batting order in the exact printed line up, if you get out of order and the other team notices it is an out. The same holds true for the other team. So I was trying to keep the batting order, use the movie camera and make JB happy! Well after about 10 minutes I put the camera down and G was doing soooo good! Plus she got the best hit straight to center field! Chipper Jones would have to sit up and take notice of that one. It might have helped that her coach pumped them up with chocolate and mountain dew before the game. It was at 9:00 and he didn't want them asleep! I personally thought they would have a sugar high right before the game and crash about the time they went onto the field, and then we would have to deal with 11 depressed 10 year olds! That would have really made my day!

After the game I dropped the little ones at the dealership and went to Reynolds to pick up Cydney from her friends party! That is so far away! My cell phone doesn't even work in that town. That would be enough for me not to live there. So I didn't know where I was going and the dad told me to call from the gas station. So now my phone doesn't work and I am in redneck hell and I have to scrape together a dollar to use the pay phone. A freaking dollar to use the pay phone. I didn't have a dollar. I used all my change last week to buy myself a chicken biscuit. Do you know pay phones don't take debit cards! Finally I got it together and made the call. I told her to find a new friend. That one lives too far away!

Then we went swimming with my friend Shannon. It started out with all of us and little by little the children kept disappearing into Shannons house. Finally is was just Shannon, James Brian and I. It was fun to get to visit with my friend. We all got a little sun but not too much to cause a problem. I hope Cyd learned a lesson last week. She did let me buy her some coppertone number eight today. I don't think she used it yet but at least it is available!

Now we are home and getting ready for bed. We have all eaten supper, I cooked, just waiting on Brian.

The funniest thing happened this afternoon. G was drinking tea out of a real glass. If you have been to my house you know we only drink out of plastic cups from Walmart or the football game or diary queen. Anyway James Brian wanted a glass. He was so excited to drink out of a glass. It is funny the little things you don't even think about. Poor child might have to go to counseling because I have made him drink out of plastic his whole life!

I guess everyone is still reading this blog. No one lets me know anymore. Have a good night!

School is Out!

We did it!

I just hope the report card reflects it!

Cydney went home with a friend and Grayce and James Brian are just playing. Grayce went to work with her daddy this afternoon. I had to work this morning so G stayed with JB. I finished up and came and picked her up and took her to work and then James Brian and I went to Walmart and then to my friend Susans house to pick up three kittens. I don't know what I was thinking when I told them they could have one but it is too late now. James Brian has played with his all day! His name is Carl Jason. What kind of cat name is that. What happened to fluffy?

G had ball practice and James Brian and Jacob went with us. It was a short night because our coach wanted to see his child play! That was a blessing!

Now we are home and JB is playing with his kitten again. G is throwing the ball up against the house waiting on Brian to get home so she can pitch a while. She will pitch in her game tomorrow. Cydney will still be at her friends so I have to work that damn dugout! I will be okay I can tough it out one more time!

I figured out this week that by doing this blog I am not talking to any family members on the phone. I even emailed my mother in law and she emailed my back. That has got to stop!

I thought when school started back I would go back to work at the dealership. After just 40 minutes this morning I changed my mind and remembered why I quit! I keep telling Brian I am going to work at Kroger from 11PM to 7AM. Then I can get the kids ready for school, sleep a while and then get up when they get home. I don't know when I will fit everything else in and I am not sure how I will handle the weekends. I guess I better think that thru a little more!

I guess I better go give James Brian a bath. He can't get in bed with me if he has cat hair all over him!

Thursday night

Brian didn't have a day off today so we went to see him this afternoon. Actually Hayden was at the dealership and we wanted to see him! Brian just thinks we come to see him!

Cydney had school until 12:00 and Grayce went to work with her daddy. James Brian and I went by this morning just to check things out!

I picked Cyd up, she went to lunch with daddy. G had lunch with Brian and JB and I came home.

Tonight, since we had the night off, we went to the field to see the other teams play each other. One team didn't show up so it was a short night!

I cooked salmon patties for supper and now the house stinks so I think I am going to my room and close the door and burn a candle! Plus I want to finish the book I am reading.

I got my new glasses today. I think they will be fine when I learn how to hold my head. My eye doctor said when I see you in town and you are bobbling your head I will know you are just adjusting your eyes! I could see to read and that made me feel good. I finally told Brian they were bi-focals and he said so. He was really sweet about it. He might have a change of heart when he finds the bill! At this point he is probably thinking he could have had a newer model for less money!

Nothing else fun today. Tomorrow is the last day of school. I am happy for the children but sad for me. They are growing up. We all are looking forward to the beach next week.

Until next time....

Wednesday

Cydney didn't have to be at school until 8:30 so we actually got to sleep a little late. Well I left Grayce in her bed and James Brian was in my bed. I told G I would be right back. Well when I got home about 45 minutes later, I had to get gas, he was sitting on the couch. He didn't go look for G and he thought I left him. It made me cry. I bet that never happens again!

I picked Cyd up at 12:00, got lunch and came home. I have been cleaning most of the day. Hopefully next week when we are home with no place to go in the mornings we can get the house clean. I don't like to go out of town with the place a mess. Just in case I never come back!

Tonight G has pitching lessons at 5:00, practice at 5:30 and a party at 6:00. She is going to be late to the party but she will get to practice a little while.

Now I have the task of finding something to cook for supper. Last night we did go the Mexican and my friend Shannon and her daughter Emily came and ate with us. Now that I think about it we didn't get to visit much because I was on the phone working on ball stuff!

James Brian has gone to Jacobs, Cydney is playing on the computer and Grayce is looking for something to do, still in her jammys at 2:45! She hasn't had enough softball so she is looking for it on the TV!

As much as I hate to do it I guess I can vacuum while James Brian isn't here. He hates the noise! I hate to vacuum. Brian does better than me anyway!

Until tomorrow....

Monday and Tuesday

It has been nice to make it easy on myself not trying to find a name for my post!

The children were out of school on Monday, I think I gave that update already. I can't remember what I post and when! James Brian had a game and Whitley went with us. Jeff and Lori got to see him bat and he was real happy they stayed for a while!

Brian cooked us hamburgers on the grill. I call him the master grill operator!

G is totally out of school now and Cydney didn't have to go but she wanted to go to lunch with her friends so I took her to school about 11:00. Grayce, James Brian and I went to the dealership to see Brian for a few minutes.

Cydney's friend brought her home and we have just been hanging out the rest of they day. We were supposed to have a game at 6:00 but it got postponed. So now we have practice tomorrow and nothing today.

Cydney went over to Emilys to record some music for a party, Grayce is playing computer games and JB is playing with Jacob. We promised Grayce we would take her to Mexican for supper. That was when we thought we had a game. Now we don't have that game but she reminded me that a promise is a promise so I still have to take her to mexican! I hate that because I could actually be in my pajamas already!

I can't think of anything else exciting to tell you. 9th grade for Cydney is almost over. It is hard to believe that I have a 10th grader, 6th grader and a kindergartener! Life is short!

Until next time....

NASCAR, real quick

This doesn't count as a real post.

Someone ask me did I put a jinx on JR! That was pretty witty!

If I was going to Jinx someone it would be that crazy Busch boy! He is getting on my nerves and he is rough on a piece of equipment isn't he!

Poor JR just can't get a break! HA! (I am sure Teresa is feeling better about herself!)

Carl is still the man! He is just holding out until the end!

Sunday at the Lake

I thought it was going to be a long day!

We have been planning for several weeks to go to the lake! Well we haven't taken the time to get the jet skis ready.

So Friday after JB's game Brian worked on the skis for a while. They wouldn't take a charge. So he got up early Sunday and got new batteries for them. So we left for the lake at 10:00! Chris Stone went with us and he is always fun. He is so sweet to my children and so careful on the lake and I think he keeps Brian sane!

After we got everything unloaded I couldn't get into the house. Brian had taken the key off and put in on a different key ring, which he had with him. So finally we get into the house and get unloaded. We could spend the night there but it is just too much trouble to have to wash all the bed clothes and towels.

James Brian finally got into the lake. He will play at the beach there and play in the sand but he didn't trust the life vest enough to get in the water. Yesterday he finally did it. He and G played for a long time around the dock. He was so excited to slide off the ski into the water. He had a big time!

Now the battery in the boat is dead. We tried to charge it for a couple of hours while we ate lunch and rode the skis.

Finally we swapped batteries with the other boat that was there!

Now we are rollin'!

We had fun tubing and riding all the other things we have at the lake. Everyone gets along so good and then Chris cooked out for us.

They rode a little longer while I cleaned up the house and kitchen and we got home about 10:30!

James Brian actually slept until about 9:00 today!

Now Whitley is here visiting for a little while and James Brian has a game at 6:45. G did have a game but it got changed until Tuesday. I am so glad I didn't have anything to do on Tuesday!

I guess that is it. It was really more fun than it sounds once it was written down!

Cydney did get too much sun but you can't tell a 15 year old anything they just have to find out the hard way!

Saturday, Already!

Time Flys!

I did some things around the house this morning and then we went to Coach Roberts house for his daughters birthday swimming party! We ate lunch and ended up staying all day! The only reason we left was because Cydney has made a committment to babysit!

Brian has gone to pickup the jet skis. JB and G are watching Willie Wonka for the 100th time. We are planning on going to the lake tomorrow. I am looking forward to it. We haven't been all winter! It is a lot of work to get ready and then we spend a couple of hours cleaning up everything when we get home. We could spend the night but then I just have laundry to do and it isn't worth it! Spending time with the family makes all the extra work worth it!

The race comes on tonight and it is on late tomorrow so hopefully we will be home early enough. I don't think JB will make it though, he is tired after swimming all day!

A new season of meerkat manor starts tomorrow so we have to be home by eight!

Both girls are out of school on Monday and Tuesday so my plan is to get the house clean! I am sure that will happen. I don't know why that is such a task! There never seems to be enough time. Jacob, James Brians friend is also thru with school so I am looking forward to he and JB playing ALOT!

I guess thats it for today. We have a game Monday night and Robert already ask me what was my game plan. The only plan I have is to win! James Brian also has a game.

Oh, did I tell you James Brian got the game ball at last nights game. He was so happy I think he slept with it. The funny thing is it for some reason it was never used at the ball field. It was a brand new clean baseball but he has carried that thing around like it was a million dollars. He has watched it be handed all out season and he didn't get it yet. The coach said he made some good hits, well I don't think he hit any better than he normally does. I actually think they are just running out of children to give it to! He carried it to play with his cars, at one point I noticed it perched on top of his silky and then this morning when he was in bed he had it in is hand!

Brian should be home soon. I think I am going to read a book!

Until next time....

Friday

Today was Grayce's last day of school. She had a party at Vinson Valley which is a lake on a beach and they have a playground and a water slide and picnic tables. It is fun if you like that kind of thing. I call it a snake pit!

Her grade doesn't ever have enough parent participation so I agreed to help get the children there by driving a 15 passenger van. Big Mistake! A load of children is too many!

I dind't have time swap cars before I picked Cydney up! I made her day in that big van. Mom one, Cydney Zero! She didn't want to drive home. When I would get in trouble my dad would always make me drive junk, well not really junk but something like a van or station wagon, it looks like that might work for me too!

Not much has happened this week. G had a game on Wednesday. She pitched. She is so cute. We Won!

Grayce had pitching lessons at 6:00 on Thursday and then a game. She didn't pitch but we still won! We played the team I say is always grouchy. It was a mess last night. One of the children didn't have her shirt tucked in and the ump called her out. One of our girls didn't have on her "league issued socks" and the other coach called it, she was out. Then a girl on the other team got popped in the chin. It was a disaster! The other coach might win if he wouldn't be such a butt!

Today JB has a game at 5:45 so he just woke up from a little cat nap because he has had a busy day today. He went to the snake pit with us. Jacob actually walked up and JB heard me talking to him so it woke him up!

Grayce went home with a friend who's brother plays on JB's team so she isn't here.

Cydney is going to watch a movie at her friend Ryans house who lives just up the street. She told me she would be home by 10:00. Well, Brian and I have to talk about that. She is only 15! I know she is a perfect child, especially compared to some of the other demon children around this town but she is mine! Plus if you give a child a foot, they will take thirty six inches! Whatever that saying is!

No games until Monday and then we have two!

We are thinking about going to the lake on Sunday. The only thing that scares me it might be too busy. Plus the Johnsons are going out of town and I just don't know if we can go by ourselves!

Until next time....

Tuesday

Well, I know the day says Wednesday but this is what happened yesterday!

Nothing!

G had ball practice at 5:30 and JB had a game at 5:45.

Luckily the fields are side by side. James Brian got a hit and got to run the bases two times. He even got a couple of RBI's. I don't know if he knows what he did or if he cares but we try to make a big deal out of it.

G's team just had a rushed practice. Our coach would practice everyday for two hours if we didn't yell about it! There was a game after our practice so he had to get everything in, in a hour! G is getting tired. It happens everytime this year. Coach Robert wants her to play on the all star team but she says no. She is ready to go to the mall of america and the beach!

Cydney is still driving every chance she gets and is doing a good job. It was nice yesterday I could sign some school papers while she drove. I think I am supposed to be paying attention but I had things to do!

We are off to the field today for a 6:00 game. Hopefully we won't be too late. It is not Grayces night to pitch but they rearranged the schedule so we could have Friday off so we play the team tonight she pitches against. She loves to pitch but it makes me a nervous wreck.

Well I better go do something around the house.

Monday

Well this posting thing is starting to get on my nerves. It seems I never have anything to say exciting!

I will at least keep posting until summer is over. The children and I are going to travel and it will be fun to log where we have been everyday and all of the family can travel right along with us! We are starting our trip the first weekend in June with a 3 week stay at the beach. Brian reminded me that was rental season and I just looked at him and then he said how do you plan to pay for your travels and I told him I didn't have a plan but when he figured it out to let me know!

The truth is he will enjoy the peace and quiet. He will actually come to the beach on his off days and on the weekends. He doesn't mind driving at night or early in the morning. Plus when we are at the condo it isn't like vacation. We don't eat out we just play at the beach and the pool and come to the room to eat. Well we eat out sometimes but we eat out at home too. The funny thing is I don't want to eat anywhere he likes because I know he would enjoy it.

We don't have anything planned right this minute for tonight. Family Guy comes on at 8:00 so I am going to try to coax JB into going to bed early! He has played with Jacob all day. Jake came walking up when I was taking the trash out before lunch. I thought today is my lucky day!

I went to the eye doctor this afternoon. I have cataracts in both eyes. Yep, you hit 40 and it is down hill! The eye doctor is my very good friend so she told me I wouldn't go blind but I also can't have surgery for probably ten more years. But I do have to have bi-focals! I don't really care as long as I can read! Not being able to read is what makes me feel old. It is almost 6:00 and my eyes are still dialated and I am just about to get an attitude.

I got the bright idea to lay out in the sun this afternoon. That is a bunch of crap. It was too hot and I probably lost 3 pounds of water weight. Brown fat skin is prettier than white fat skin but after this afternoon I think I will just have fat white skin. I tried to lay in my sisters tanning bed back during the winter. Ha, I think I had 2nd degree burns. I might try another friends tanning bed or I might just be white. Brian ask me if I had on white panty hose. I said shut up fat boy!

Well I guess I should start think about supper. Okay I thought about it. They can have soup or a sandwich!

Brian has some rotary meeting tonight. I said I don't think I want to go and he told me I wasn't invited! It is boy scouts for men. I don't want to go anyway! He isn't going either.

See, I told you nothing exciting. So until tomorrow....

Sunday!

Grayce is in party hell! One yesterday and two today. Plus she went with a friend after church so her mom could take them to the party and I am sure they swam all morning long. So tonight she will be tired and grouchy and I will have to deal with that!

We had ball practice today. It is the first one G missed. Only three girls showed. I am in a foul mood anyway but it just bothers me when people sign the children up to play a sport and then can't get to the practices!

Brian, Cydney and her friend Emily went to Elko to ride the 4 wheelers. I didn't want to go, but now that I think about it I don't think they even asked me to go! Hmmmp! I will ask about that!

JB and his friend Trevor are playing outside. He is going to have to get a bath and then be mad about it. I tell him he doesn't have to get a bath if he sleeps in his own bed! That usually takes care of the problem!

Everyone should be home at a decent time. I actually I have to pick up G and Carrie from the last party at 7:00. She will be tired but tomorrow starts her last week of school so that should brighten her day. Then she has another party on Friday. Dang, that child is a social butterfly!

In between parties we have 4 ball games this week and at least one practice. The good thing is it will all be over by the first weekend in June. Then I will be lonesome for my friends at the ball field! Life is funny that way.

What about Kasey Khane winning $1 million dollars! I had rather it be a Ford but at least it wasn't JR or Kyle Busch!

Until tomorrow....

S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y, Saturday Night, Saturday Night!

That was a Bay City Rollers Song. I need to look that up on Youtube. I bet the girls would get a kick out of that!

Brian and I went to an alumni dinner for our school and Cydney stayed with G and JB. She even did a little house cleaning while we were gone. She makes me so proud sometimes, well actually I am proud of her all the time!

We haven't done much today. G had a birthday party today. I took her and some friends to the party and another friends mom picked them up. We pretty much just rested today. It was nice not having to go to the field or having anything on the agenda!

The boys are watching the race and I am getting ready for bed. Brian wants me come watch the race with them and I will until 10:00, that is when Animal Cops comes on tv. I have to keep my priorities in line!

Until next time.....

Thursday and Friday!

We had two games last night.

G at 6:00 and JB @ 6:45.

I couldn't get organized. I had to find someone to keep the score book for G's game. I was the team mom but have since promoted myself to General Manager, like John Sherholtz, so I have to handle these things. I also have conveniently not learned how to do it! On top of that I had taken my friends children with us, one is on the team, the other is JB's friend. So I kept looking for Andy. I would hate to explain to Nicole that I lost her child. She is a little grouchy that way.

Then before I knew it, it was time for James Brians game. Grayce pitched an awesome game. She is such an athlete. James Brian is hanging in there pretty good. The game went really quickly so he got to go in and out of the dugout so he didn't get so bored this time. Brian helped with G's team. He coached 3rd base. The girl will have the ball in her hand and Brian will send the runner. Every now and then I coach third base, well he is a little more aggressive than I am. In all honesty that is what wins games. Plus when I have to do it I get my feet dirty, YUK!

So now it is Friday. We don't have anything to do tonight. James Brian and I ran errands all day. We went to Macon for Brian. It looks like a war zone. I am so blessed that I was safe during the bad weather! So went spent most of the day loafing and had lunch at steak and shake. I love that place!

Grayce went home with her friend Hannah and I think Cyd's friend Emily is coming over. James Brian is hollering for me to play monster truck.

Our house doesn't look much different than where the tornados hit in Macon but I can clean up Sunday when Brian is home and playing!

We are going to watch the truck race tonight and the all star race tomorrow. If James Brian doesn't bust with excitement until then. Hopefully just enjoy a nice family night. Until I go watch the animal planet in my room by myself! Last night I told James Brian if he would come to bed he could watch what he wanted to. Big Mistake but anyway I always fall asleep before he does.

I guess thats it until next time.....

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

Maybe I will just stop trying to think of fancy titles!

Jacob is here playing with James Brian so I thought I would blog while I had a free minute.

James Brian has been playing Call of Duty on the playstation. Now he has decided he likes watching war movies. Yuk. I hate war movies.

We had the whole day off yesterday but we ended up going to the ball field to watch the team we played Monday and the team we play Thursday battle it out. It was uneventful but it made them feel good that we were there to support them. Even Brian came to the field.

Tonight we have practice at 5:30 and tomorrow a game at 6:00 and James Brian has a game at 6:45. Looks like Pizza night for us!

We found out yesterday Grayce's grade gets out of school an entire week before everyone else. I am not really sure why except the 5th grade were scheduled to take exams and they don't have to. I don't know and really don't care I know she will enjoy and extra week. Cydney will only go part time the last week because if you have an A in the class you get to exempt it. Summer break is getting closer and I am so excited. The children are so tired!

James Brian has been out this week. He has been sweet but he doesn't understand running errands and chores and laundry. He just wants to play.

They are all ready for the beach and that is where we are headed as soon as ball is over!

Until next time....

Sunday and Monday

Happy Mothers Day!

I got up at 4:00 to get ready to go to my friend in need! I drove thru Tornado weather and storms. It wasn't really as bad as it sounds. I was leaving at 6:00 or getting up when I woke up which just happen to be at 4:00. I tried really hard to go back to sleep but it didn't happen! So it was a blessing because I stayed about 15 minutes ahead of the bad weather. I did realize one time that the radio was announcing a tornado warning right where I was. I looked up at there they were. Three tornados spinning around in the sky. I just kept driving and they spun on away. I don't know what I would have done if it had been on the ground. God is Good!

I stayed with Dana as long as I felt I could without putting my marriage in jeopardy! Brian was a great sport. He has never taken all three children overnight and been in control. He fed them, took them to church, got them ready for school, picked up from school, got them ready for ball games, got them there on time and still has his mind left! It isn't that he is not more than capable of doing those things, I just never have let him. To me that is my job. I know that sounds old fashion but he will do anything I ask I just do my things he does his! I am proud of him. Of course now I have to think of somewhere fun to go!

I came home Monday afternoon. I would have stayed as long as she need me but if I was coming home anyway I wanted to get to there games. JB played first. I don't want to hurt his feelings but I think I had rather watch grass grow. That is so boring. I hate watching other peoples children! He is getting better and has more patience than I do. He gets good hits and sometimes gets to run the bases. Grayces game is more fun. At 10 years old they really play ball! She walked last night and she hates that. She wants to hit! We won 17-4 so you can tell that it really wasn't much of a game. They both play again on Thursday and for G it will be a little tougher but JB will be the same. I know she is pitching Thursday so I have to remind her to practice between now and then. I am sure they are going to want to go to the field tonight to see the team we beat last night play the team we play Thursday. Maybe if I keep quiet she will forget about it!

We had a good morning. We went to CFA. Anytime we eat breakfast out it encourages the children to get ready and not fuss. Cydney is driving us most of the time. She still makes me crazy but in all fairness to her she is a good driver.

Macon had terrible storms on Mothers Day but Houston County missed it. Our yard does look like a hurricane blew thru it. Brian was trying to cut the grass and quit because he was afraid a limb was going to fall on him! He wants me to blow the driveway off today but it makes me smell bad so I think I will tell him I forgot! He bought a new lawn mower, garage door opener and a chain saw all in one visit to sears last week. Now he has buyers remorse and keeps telling me he is going to take it back. I said go ahead but I am paying someone $250.00 to clean up that tree so the way I figure it you got the lawn mower for free if you do it! He is funny that way. He can buy a car and pay $35.000.00 for it and never blink and eye but if he buys something cheap like a pair of pants he will worry himself silly.

I guess thats it. Until next time.....

SATURDAY!

Well, lets play catch up!

We went to see Whitley play t-ball in Gray on Thursday. Everybody went. We had as much fun as you can have a t-ball! She is a cute little thing. I told Mary she looked like a bobble head with that big ole helmet on her little tiny self. I think she was glad to see us. We also got to visit with Jeff and Emily so I guess we will take quality time with them any way we can get it! Then we ate supper at Ole Timers in Macon. It wasn't that great but at least we did sit down as a family to eat!
Cydney drove all the way there and back and did a great job. It is really hard getting from 1-16 to Gray Hwy and back but she did it! Of course I prayed her thru!

Friday was run around day. James Brian had K-4 graduation. He had a program that the girls wanted to go to so this is how the day went: Grayce didn't want to miss much school so I took her to school at 8:00, dropped James Brian off at 8:15, went back home to get my grocery list, went back to school to pick up G @ 9:20, back to the program at 9:30 for the 10:00 show, left play school @ 11:00, picked up lunch took both girls to school @ 11:30, dropped JB off at the car lot, I went to the grocery store, picked him back up, picked up the girls @ 3:00, dropped them off at the car lot @ 3:30 for a commercial, took the groceries home went back to get them, Brian took G to her friend Hannah's while I took Cyd to her friends in Reynolds! Came back and picked up JB and went home until I went back out to pick up G at Hannah's at 10:00PM! Just think Brian wants me to get a job!

Then about midnight the power went out and woke me up!

Saturday: My best and dearest and oldest friend in the world lost her daddy to cancer this morning. My heart breaks for her because she is to her daddy like I am mine. So I am headed to South Carolina in the AM. I was going this morning but it actually will work out best for me to go on Sunday morning. I hope she will be okay until I get there. The good thing is before 10:00 I had already washed three loads of laundry, got myself ready, packed my suitcase and cleaned out the refrigerator! All I will do in the morning is get up and get ready and go. Brian is going to be Mr. Mom for a couple of days. He does a good job and really surprised me when I had my surgery. G and JB both have game on Monday that I hope I can make it back to but Brian and daddy both said Dana is more important at this point my life will not self destruct if I miss a game. Coach Roberts on the other hand might!

I will try to download the pictures of Whitley from the game if I can find the camera in my car. I think a hurricane went thru it when I parked it overnight!

Until next time.....

Compared to the others this week, this was and Easy Day!

Well it happened. Cyd can legally drive. I can tell you this is going to be one of those families that she can only drive with her daddy! She makes me crazy! Actually she is a good driver but I like to be in control and if I could just sit and read a book I could probably handle it but I think that is probably illegal. On top of that JB doesn't take well to change and he is hollering the whole time not to let her drive! Only 365 more days! Praise The Lord!

G had ball practice tonight. She really didn't want to go but I thought she needed to and then she whined the entire time. She said her knee was hurting again but I think she is just tired and wanted to play a playstation game. Cydney drove us and then when we got there and James Brians friend wasn't there I had to bring them back home. The field is only about 7 or 8 minutes away.

We are still going to see Whitley play in Gray tomorrow. That should be a sight but she will be so happy to see us and I am looking forward to seeing her.

G had honors program today. She got a couple of things but was bothered that didn't get an award in every subject. I can almost bet you that next year not only will she get an award in everything but will probably have the highest average! She and Cydney are so different. Brian and Grayce have to be the best. Me and Cyd are just glad to be here.

Well I have a couple of things to do before Animal Cops comes on so until tomorrow.....or the next day!

We Win! 8-9!

Grayce had a ballgame last night. We played a team that hasn't one a game and they almost beat us!

Our girls thought they could sleep thru the first inning. The big thing is when your team is winning you don't say anything but when you are loosing you get the rule book out and start picking things apart. That is pretty much what happened last night! Luckly it wasn't us doing the picking. The other team was so goofy they were upset because MacKenzie didn't have on her socks that matched everyone else! So needless to say it was making us crazy and it was a long night. Grayce did good, she always does. She didn't pitch. I think he is saving her for tonight because tonights team is a little more aggressive. She played first base and made all the catches but she walked every time. She hates to walk.

Cydney is getting her permit today. Lord help us! She is excited I just hope I can survive. I know my parents did. When I write my book about things people don't tell you when you have children I am going to include the more children you have the more children have to learn to drive! God Bless America!

Today we have games at 5:45 and at 7:30. We will be at the field all night.

I have a checkup at my cosmetic doctor this morning. I think I am going to get a price on some more stuff!

On top of all the things that happened to Brian on Sunday with everything tearing up, the garage door opener went last night. Could he be more grouchy. We just all came in the house and got in the bed and left him outside. It works better for us all to stay out of his way. He has somewhat of a temper and he just makes me laugh and that makes it worse. It just amazes me that a person can get so out of shape over something so simple. He and Cydney both think that things happen just to piss them off. I take pride in not letting the devil defeat me! Oh, Well.

Until tomorrow.....

It's Sunday!

Well there I ago again with an original name!

We have had a great weekend.

I worked in the yard for a good while yesterday. Brian and I worked today while JB and G washed my car. They really just like to play in the water hose! Cydney is still milking the It's My Birthday thing except now it has gone to its my birthday weekend! She is going to be in trouble tomorrow!

My arms are sore from using the weed whacker and the bad thing is you can't even tell! Everything Brian tried to do today was a disaster. I just started laughing. We call it the Bearden curse! We had a tree fall during a storm several weeks ago so he was going to cut it up with the chain saw and pull each piece to the back of our property with the 4 wheeler. Well, this is a long story, the tree was too big for our saw but he did cut up a few limbs. Then the 4 wheeler wouldn't start so he couldn't pull them off. (He just spent $200.00 having it repaired and he tried until the battery went dead and the boy who worked on it took the kick start thing off). So by this point he is ill to say the least! Then I wanted him to cut down a few things in the yard. The chain saw tore up. (Now he is really grouchy). So he decides he will cut grass and the mower tears up. Now I am giggling out loud and he is kicking the mower and slamming it down real hard. Finally the wheel came off. It was the funniest thing. I should have had the camera but I can't find it right this minute! So finally we put up everything and we went to cut the grass at our land in Elko.

James Brian is playing at Jacobs, Cydney has Emily over and Grayce is eating Mac-n-Cheese. Brian is still cutting grass and I am playing on the computer. I am thinking about what I have to do tomorrow!

We did go to our friends school play last night and then to dinner with them afterwards. The Andersons are so funny so they made for a fun night. The play was really good but it lasted about an hour too long. It was 1 1/2! I don't even want to watch my children dancing for an hour. My children enjoyed it and it meant alot to MacKenzie for us to be there.

Well we have a game tomorrow and I am ready. It is really fun to watch! We are going on Thursday to see Whitley play in Gray. Lori won't be there but it is okay we are only going to see Whit anyway!

Until next time....

Suddenly Saturday?

Can you tell I am getting desperate for titles? It isn't so easy to think of something to call a blog everyday!

Cydneys was 15 yesterday. Believe me she used "it my birthday" all day long. Luckly this morning she stopped. She really worked it. Pretty smart thinking on her part if you ask me!

We had a game last night. G pitched. She wasn't as on target as she has been but we still did good and won! She got a couple of really good hits so she was feeling good about herself! I was actually thinking about leaving but I felt guilty since I always stay when they are doing good.

We have any easy weekend. We have to go to a friends play at school but it isn't until 6:30. We are supposed to work in the yard today and tomorrow but it is after lunch and I haven't got the courage to do it yet. One day I am going to be rich and hire a yard man!

Brian is at work probably avoiding yard work which really makes me want to have a lot done to surprise him. We will see if that happens.

Did I mention we have a bird that likes me. I am so honored he is attracted to me but I don't know what that says about all my surgery! He is just about one step away from a BB gun if he doesn't stop it!

The cup race is on tonight so James Brian has already been asking me when. He doesn't understand why he and Brian can't just jump in the car and go to the race.

I guess thats it for now. May the force be with you!

Plain ole Thursday

Have you ever noticed how life goes on around you even if your not paying attention and keeping up!

Cydney will be 15 tomorrow. Did I mention that in a post already. Never in my wildest dreams ever think I would have a child that could drive and now here it is. When August comes and James Brian goes to school and Cydney is driving us I am sure I will have a total breakdown.

She is babysitting today. That is another thing. That child would not even let me go to the bathroom by myself and now she is off babysitting. GRRRR! Last weekend Brian and I went to a party at the Johnsons, G and JB went to daddys, Cyd wanted to stay here so she could play her radio loud by herself!

James Brian has another game tonight. He is getting better and not complaining so much. I did promise him to go eat Mexican if he would go to the game. I should have just let him quit it would have been cheaper!

Brian is working on his off day. Actually he didn't get today off so I was able to get some work done around the house.

JB is calling. He wants me to play a game called Call of Duty. It is mean. We are in a war zone and trying to find each other and then we shoot. Someone taught him to aim for my head. I wonder when Brian taught him that he said the solider or did he say your mom. Don't worry we have the this is not real talk and you don't come back to life talk.

Until tomorrow....
