Finally, a nice day

Finally, we got a nice day where we can be outside with the boys and Kyle can be in the shop getting the boat engine put back together. While Cooper was sleeping and Ely was helping dad "work" I went to my dad's house to barrow his lawn mower so that I could get out jungle mowed. LOL! I didn't realize it was that tall. So now I am pretty tired. It was a lot of work getting that done. I am stuck home doing laundry and all of the other wife/mother jobs at home. I don't know how a lot of people do it. They kepe the house clean all the time and laundry all caught up and all of that other stuff. It's hard work but I manage. Kyle seems to be feeling much better other than getting extremly bad headaches and when he turns a little to quick he gets dizzy and starts to see double. . He is worried about a brain anurizm because his uncle died from one not to long ago. I told him you would probably know if you had one because a lot more would probably be happening besides the headaches and the dizzyness. What do you all think? Well, I guess I better sit down with everbody to eat a late dinner. Talk to you all later..

Boys will be boys

Hmm...where do I start? Ely is growning up so much. He is almost 3. WOW! I can't belive how smart he is already and how much he understands and how well he talks. Tonight I had a conversation with Ely. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday in November. Here is the conversation...

Me: What do you want for your birthday in November?

Ely: Cake!!

Me: Yes Ely we will have cake but what do you want for a present? Do you want a new 'Cars' bedset?

Ely: No mom, I already have a cars bedset.

Me: Ok, how about a new cars blanket?

Ely: NO MOM! I have one on my bed see...(he showed me his conforter from his bed) LOL!

Me: I said, no Ely how about a really big fuzzy cars that is as big as your room?
(He smiles big and shook his head.)

Ely: Ok mom, let's make it easy, anything cars I want.

LOL! I thought it was cute. I am so proud of my boys. I am so afraid that I am not teaching my boys enough while I am at home. At least I have it so that Ely will sit down with me to read a book and not me running around like a headless chicken..HE! HE! HE! If anybody has any suggestions for me on how to work the boys to help them with colors and shapes and counting would be great. I know that other 3 year olds can count to 10 and Ely can only pretty much get to like 5 sometimes. So I just thought I would share our little conversation with all of you.

Miss me yet?

Sorry I have not written for awhile..I have been very busy due to work and the kids and a very sick husband. Well since Wednesday I have put in 30 hours already. Busy busy busy. The kids are keeping me on my toes and whew, my husband, hmm..where should I start. He started getting sick on Thursday and now it is Sunday. I took him in to the Emergency Room to find out that Dr. Poppens thinks he has West Nile. Not Cool It took me a lot of convincing to get him to go it. My mom and stepdad had to talk him into it to. Along with his mom and dad. He is pretty sick. He aches all over, high temp, severe headache constantly. Just a lot of stuff going on. I am glad that I was able to be home with the boys this weekend becasue I was missing them so much with all the work I have been having to do at T & R. It brings in very nice paychecks but it kills the time with the family. After I got off work at 3 :30 on friday the guys wanted to go down to the bar for a drink and I said sure. Well then the owner of T & R showed up and I had a few with him. Then when it was time for me to get heading home I went to go put gas in the pick-up I met up with another friend from T & R and he wanted to go down and have a beer. So needless to say, I did. I had to have Kyle come get me and I was expecting him to be mad at me because I was toast. I had a few to many to drink and on top of that I had beer. I don't like beer. He told me he wasn't mad because I have been busting my butt all week and I deserved a time out for awhile. I was pretty sick when I got in the Jeep. I threw up and all. I never get sick when I drink. I think it is because I was drinking the good ol' Bud Light. It actually tasted pretty darn good. LOL! Better mark that on the calander becasue I will probably never say it again beings I don't drink beer. I like my sweet stuff like Mikes hard Berry. Well I guess better change Cooper's pants. He is pretty stinky..LOL! Barb!!! where are you when I need you? You I am sure have become a pro at changing diapers..LOL! See you tomarrow Barb. Love you

Long Day

Well my birhtday has come and gone and I am only one year older, big deal. I don't feel to much older just know I am older. Yes, Barb you are old....Older than me..LOL! Today was a long, long day. Cold, busy day. I am exhausted from being up at 5:30 am and working till 6.00.. Needless to say, Im tired. Just hotught i would write a bit, take call ya'll

BOORRRRRIIINNNGGGG!!!

Man! Today is going by sooo slow..We haven't done much today besides a little house cleaning and that's about it. So needless to say long boring day. All I need to do today pretty much is just get the boys's bag ready for the week at Barb's house. I am excited to go back to work on Monday, not only because it's my birthday but because I love my new job. Oh ya, did I mention it's my birthday? I will be 23. Man I feel old..hehehe. Not as old as you Barb. LOL. Ya, I get to weld at my job and I love to do that. Well just thought I would post even though I haven't done much today. See you all later.

Busy Cold Day

Today was a pretty busy day. I got up this morningand got the boys ready for the day and then all of the work started. I went to my mom's house and got her steam cleaner so that i could clean my carpets. They turned out awesome.. Looks like new now. Yay! After that I had to run a bunch of errends and due laundry and clean house and the list goes on and on.
I keep on adding to my kitchen Did I mentions that my kitchen theme is apples? Well it is and it looks totally awesome. HEHEHE! Well I got a bag of apples from my Grandmother in-law and i dind't know what to do with it until I saw a string of garland at the dollar store. It has face leaves on it so I strung my apples thru it and hung them above the opening between the kitchen and the living room. It looks absoulutely cool. Iam always willing to take anything apples or pigs. My bedroom theme is pigs so I am pretty organized when it comes to themes in my house. LOL! You should come see it Barb. It looks nice.

A day in my new department

Whew! I made it. I was transfered into my new department today and wow that is exhausting. I am now working in Single Faze Pads and I absolutly love it. I FINALLY GET TO USE MY TOOLS AGAIN!! I am not always on a dumb fork lift. I get my exercise back and am always busy which makes the day go by so much faster. Which is a very good thing. The quicker my day goes the quicker I can go get my childeren.
I don't know what you all would think about this idea but I have done some thinking and I miss living back in Orient. I doubt it will ever happen because there is just nothing around there for work. I miss my in-laws a bit and they miss us but beings that we are all getting along so well I want it to stay the same. I miss the small town living and the no worries about cops.
The boys are doing great and seem to be glad to be home from a week off. Barb was very happy to see the boys also. I guess Cooper was very clingy to Barb on Tuesday because she missed her auntie. I am glad to be home from the weekend because now i can get back into routine with myself and the boys. I have to change it a bit beings I got transfered so now I have to get up at 4:30 am instead of 5:30. Oh well just have to go to bed earlier. Well i better get going just thought i would write to say how my day was.

I got my boys back!!

YAY! I fianlly got to see my boys again. Kyle and I left on Friday to head to Orient to pick up the boys. Finally! It was great, when Ely saw me his eyes got huge and he came running to me and said, mommy don't leave me. All I could do was hold on to him and of course hug him and kiss him. So all night friday he was always right there beside me saying mommy don't leave me. He said lets go home mom i miss my bed. So we stayed until Monday then we headed home to get settled back into the house. Well just thought I would let you all know I got my boys back and yes Barb they will be at your house on Tuesday.
