Time.....? Where did you go??

My boy is 15 years old.
omg.
First of all, how in the world do I have a 15 year old?
It's amazing how fast time flies, especially once you have kids. :(
Next year my boy will already be driving!!
How is that possible?
I think back to when I was 15 and I'm scared to death for him to be this age! This is about the age that I kinda went a little crazy!!
But he's a good boy.
I think.
It will be alright.
I'm sure....
Anyways, Gage's birthday party this weekend was so much fun! I booked an awesome two bedroom, two bath, kitchen, and living room suite....here in town.
The suite was big, but our group was bigger. Me, Leah, Marianne, Adrien, Gage, Travis, Derek, Andrew, Zoe, Ariel, Lucia, Noa, Jack for a little while. He mostly stayed home with his dad, though.
Friday, I left work early to go buy groceries and decorations. I bought a huge Justin Bieber V.I.P. Party door cover. hahahaha. Purple plates, Justin Bieber napkins, lots of balloons, Happy Birthday signs. We always tease Gage about loooooving JB.
Of course, he's like every teen boy and thinks he gay. So, that was pretty funny.
I thought.
Lucia loved it, of course. haha.
So, Friday nights adventures were fun.
We first went looking for Witches Gate, but no one could really remember where exactly it was. So then we went to the old abandoned Insane Asylum. It was super scary!! The cops were called on us. But the (good looking) cop was awesome and talked to us for about 10 minutes. He even told us some stories he had heard about the place. He said we could stay as long as wanted. He just wanted to make sure we weren't gang bangers or drug dealers. haha. We wanted to have him take a picture with Gage, so he'd have a good story about how the cops were called on him on his 15th birthday. haha. But the cop said they're not allowed to do that anymore. Apparently cops used to take pictures with people on scavenger hunts, but they were altered and put on the internet. haha. So, yeah...they're not allowed to do that anymore!
Then we went to an old scary cemetary at the end of a road (out towards where I live..not cool). It was pitch black, but we kept seeing a little light flash in the distance. We scared ourselves silly and ran from the cemetary. I couldn't find Gage and started freaking out, asking everyone,"Where's Gage? Where's Gage?"
Yeah, he and Travis had ran off to run around the cemetary. ugh. They thought that was hilarious.
So not funny.
Then we picked up some Taco Bueno (yum!) and headed to "Pinky's Cave". Which pretty much sucked.
But the rest of the night was fun. :)
Saturday nights adventure was even more fun than the night before. We went to another cemetary. A huge cemetary that has like 3 levels. It wasn't as scary as the small cemetary we went to the night before, though.
Then we went to Shashony Park (I think that's how you spell it?).
This is a big camp site out by Lake Arrowhead. There are tons of trails and it's super dark. We drove around, got out and walked around a few times. The boys would get out and walk beside the car, or on top of the car, or on the bumper, or just sitting in the back with the back open, hanging their legs out.
It was a lot fun.
I think we had more fun staying in town than when we went to the cabins. The boys were able to go to the mall and do other stuff around town during the day.
I loved being able to lay in bed during the day, while they were out, just reading or watching movies.
:)
Happy Birthday to my boy!!

Friday I'm in love! :)

This Friday I am in love with:

1. Sweet Beauty

I'm not really an animal person. But I do love our pit, Beauty. She is the sweetest dog ever! Wednesday I had to take her to get fixed. :( Here she is resting when she got home.

Gage and Zac slept with her on the pull out couch. :)

2. My crazy "soon-to-be 15 year old" son, Gage.

Today is his girlfriend's birthday, Sunday is Gage's. Yesterday I had to take him to the mall to buy his girlfriend a birthday present. It's funny; he's asking me what to get her and she's texting me asking what to get him. I'm like...come on, now!! Use your imaginations!!

Awww, young love. So sweet. haha.

For Gage's birthday, I reserved a hotel room for the whole weekend. Usually we go to the PK cabins, but I couldn't really afford that this year. With all the hours that are getting cut at work...BLAH!

But this will still be fun. It's actually a 2 bedroom suite! With a kitchen and living room. That way, the adults can have their space and the boys can have theirs!!

We're going to take them to "Witches Gate" and a "haunted" cemetary. Maybe the old insane asylum. haha. This is totally Gage's idea....not mine! But it's going to be fun!! :)

3. Friday!

Yes, this Friday, I am in love with Friday. This has been the longest week EVER!!! And I'm so glad it's finally coming to an end!! Payday, Friday, fun weekend ahead! :) Love it!

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!! :)

Wee Bit Time! :)

I smell a rat.....

Not only do I smell a rat....but a dead rat! Yes, a dead rat in our attic at work.
First we just smelled the rats bodily function smells seeping through the ceiling. We had our exterminator put some rat poison in the attic. Two weeks later.....we smell a dead rat.
And it STINKS!!!
I'm pretty sure I've always heard, where there's one, there's a nest.
I know this to be true with mice....I'm guessing it's the same with rats??
All I know, is I don't like being in a building by myself at 6:00 in morning, knowing there could possibly be more rats around.
Ok, so apparently I've been working with them for a while, but I didn't know at the time.
I know now. And I don't like it. I don't like it one bit!
Just wondering....have you ever read Stephen King's Night Shift? It's a collection of short stories and one is called Graveyard Shift. Yeah, it's about rats. And it's pretty gross.

Anyways, someone is supposed to come clean our attic. Hopefully there will be only one dead rat in the entire attic, or if there are more....hopefully they're alllll dead! No live ones! At all.
I can't handle that.

Ew.

Fun filled Saturday!!

Ohhh, I'm so tired today! We had a fun filled day!!

Leah and I decided to teach our kids how to spend a fun filled Saturday. We went "slummin"

First we went to the flea market! It was sooo beautiful outside, we had to take advantage.

Lauren, Lucia, Paige, Zac, and Gage. (Jack was going potty)

I bought a cute purse. Well, I think it's cute. Gage said it was ugly. What does he know? He's a boy.

my new purse

After spending THREE hours at the flea market, we were HUNGRY! So, we decided to continue the "white trash" themed day and take all six kids to Bar L.
If you don't live here in WF, you're missing out on some AWESOME food!! OMG!
And yes, it is a bar. BUT it is also family friendly. Especially at lunch time. I mean, I wouldn't take my kids at night or anything.

Gage and Zac

Jack. And the girls behind him in their OWN booth. :)

It was a fun day! Now, we're all watching Will Smith's cutie pie son in the new Karate Kid.

Tomorrow is my birthday lunch at my mom's with the fam! :)

This Friday, I am in love with:

1. Survivor!
I'm super excited about the new season!! I was never a watcher of Survivor, but my mom and sister got me hooked! This will be my 3rd year watching.

2. My Beach Boy!!
Last night was Zac's school play. He was a beach boy. :) He played the guitar and had a speaking line. It was too cute. :)
I was so proud.





3. My birthday.
Why? Because every year my mom makes me a birthday lunch of my choice and a cake of my choice.
Every year I choose pork chops, fried potatoes, and green beans.
The cake varies. This year: my mom's famous, made from scratch, Red Velvet Cake!
YUM!




TRUE STORY:

I received a lot of birthday wishes on my Facebook. One was from my aunt Teeter.

Teeter: On the day you were born, your mom was eating pork chops and fried potatoes with me and Jack. Her tummy started hurting and 1 1/2 hours later...you were born. How fast was that? Happy Birthday!!

Me: Thank you, Teeter! haha. No wonder porks chops and fried potatoes are always what I ask my mom to make me for my birthday lunch! :)

Teeter: You are kidding me?? That's too good to be true!

Funny, right? How did I not ever know this story??

In the Mouth of Madness

This morning I could not see 2 feet in front of me. The fog was so thick, I had to drive like 30 mph. My road is very long and I couldn't see either side of the road. I felt like I was just driving and driving and never getting to the highway. Three different times a rabbit ran out in front of me. All three times coming from the drivers side. All three rabbits looked exactly alike.
I started thinking,"Oh my gosh. I'm in a Stephen King book! The same thing is going to keep happening over and over. The road is never going to end!" Yes, I read too many Stephen King books. But that's ok. Because while it's scary, it's oh so fun! :)
I finally got to the highway. There are NO lights along the highway. All I see are my headlights and the lines on the road.
This is where I really get scared, because I start thinking about the movie "In the Mouth of Madness". Have you ever seen this movie??
It's been years since I've seen it. There is one part that I remember very well. A guy driving down a dark road and he see what he thinks is a boy riding a bike down the middle of the road.
Scary.

When it he gets closer...even scarier....it's a boy with an old man face!!!
Oh my gosh!!! This movie scared me to death!! I haven't watched it since. But I may have to watch it again. I've forgotten what it's all about.


Leah KNOWS this part of the movie scares me. So, I'm focusing on driving in the fog at 5:20 in the morning, just me on the road...thinking about this scary man face, hoping I don't see anything...and my phone dings. I got a text message and I jumped so high, my heart was racing.
It was Leah. I texted her back and told her that I'm trying to pay attention; the fog is scary and she scared the crap out of me!
So, I drop off Gage at her house (he rides the bus from her house every morning) and I head to work. Then I get another text message from her.
It says:
Hope you don't see a little boy with long white hair and an old mans face riding a bike down the middle of the road by your work or in your parking lot.
UGH!!
She knows I open that freaking place! She knows it's just me for a while before anyone else shows up!!
She KNOWS this!!
I was scared. haha.
I finally got to work and briskly walked to the door, unlocked it, and went inside to turn the alarm off. I didn't run like I wanted to. Like I did when I went out that morning to start my car...I may have jumped out of the car and ran back into the house to shut and lock the door.
Anyways, I get to the time clock and realize I left my badge in the car.
Nuh-uh!!! No way! I'm not going back out there. haha. So, I left Brenda a note and told her I forgot my badge. :) When she got in, I told her the truth.
I'm a scaredy cat.
But man, it's fun to be scared! haha.

Jack's first soccer practice!

He thinks he's a pro already!!




Look at him pose. He doesn't even know his mom is taking pictures! haha.

I love this little fella. ;)

hilarious

Have you ever seen one of these?

It's a head massager. :) It's pretty awesome.
When you first do it, it gives you goosebumps all over and you cringe away. It takes some getting used to.

Zac died laughing when I first did it to him.
Then I made him a deal. I told him that if he let me do it, five times in a row without laughing or moving, I would buy him some ice cream.
I know, I'm a mean mom. haha.
Here's part of the video of him trying....

Actually, Ms. Marianne....

I did wear Valentine socks today. :)

Happy Valentines Day!!

two good postsecrets this week.

Quick weekend....

My new favorite channel is the ID Channel.
I love crime shows. LOVE them.
My new favorite is "Who the [bleep] did I marry?"



It's so sad. But so funny at the same time. It's amazing what you will go through and what you will turn a blind eye to...when you're "in love".
While I was laying in Lucia's bed, watching the ID Channel (why do I pay rent for a house I don't stay in??), Jack came running in to show me his hair.
His sissy did it for him. Isn't it cute??
haha.


I'm going to go spend some time outside now. The weather is beautiful!! I love it!
I hope the winter is gone for good! :) (yeah right)

Saturday Night.

Tonight, Gage and his girlfriend, Melissa, baby sat Lucia and Jack while me and Leah went to a movie.
Lucia had a good time with them.
She painted Gage and Melissa's nails and did their hair up in bows. :)
Gage painted Lucia and Jack's nails, too.

What movie did I see, you ask? Well, "Blue Valentine" of course.
Can I just say that Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams were wonderful in this movie.


They played the parts perfect. My heart ached watching it.
I could really relate to Michelle's role and it was heartbreaking.
To be in a marriage that just...isn't. To get to that point where you just can't take it anymore. For him to touch you, makes you cringe. To feel like you have to "be with" him, because you're married and feel that it's your "duty".
To want so bad to make it work, because you know that's what they want...but you're just to the point where you can't. You just can't.
I've been there.
And Ryan's part. I saw him in his part, too.
The constant need for attention. The child-like behavior. The thinking that they're so funny, when really...they're just annoying.
Also the sadness of seeing them try so hard, but that trying so hard only pushes you further away.

It's just a perfect story.

Dean (Ryan Gosling):
I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around.

Finally....

I am so excited that "Blue Valentine" FINALLY came here!! I'm going to see it tomorrow, ferrr surrre, baby!
I will come armed with tons of tissue, because I KNOW I'm going to need it. I've been waiting for this movie to play here, but I thought I was going to have to wait for it to come out on DVD!
Yay!


I LOVE RYAN GOSLING!!!! In EVERYthing he does. I have not seen a movie of his that I don't love. He's brilliant.


Know who else I love? This is a fairly new crush.
Sam Rockwell. I've always loved him in everything. He's awesome.
But I kinda have a crush on him now. :)

Have you seen "Conviction"? It was wonderful! Hilary Swank is another one that is awesome in everything.

I just love movies.
AND BOOKS! I'm reading "Water for Elephants". It took me a bit to get into it, but now I can't put it down!!
I guess I just love escaping from reality. :)

Speaking of reality, Zac's appointment went well yesterday.
The doctor seems to think that medication for his anxiety would benefit him more than ADHD medication. He thinks that the anxiety is causing his inability to focus.
So, last night we started Lexapro. We're ready to see how this will work for him.
Hopefully it helps the anxiety and hopefully it will also help him with his little ticks (blinking, hand movements).

We shall see.
I'm so glad it's the weekend. I haven't been able to get much sleep, since the weather has been bad. Staying the night at my sister's to be closer to work...I stay up later. Watching movies, hanging with the kids. Ugh! I need my 8 hours!!!
Speaking of watching movies, we watched "Paranormal Activity 2". It wasn't as good as the first one, but I liked it. Zac, Lucia, and Jack were all line up on the couch with a blanket pulled up over their noses, watching with us. They were scared, but unable to tear their eyes away. :)
Good stuff.

Pretty sky

The drive home yesterday was so pretty :)
I tried to capture it....with my crap cell phone. haha.

It didn't really work. But see how the the clouds have lines in them? A ray of sunshine was coming through every opening.
And it was so freaking pretty.

Guess you had to be there......
:)
Your loss.

Oh...by the way...

More snow today. Lovely. Although it's really not as bad as last week. At least it's just snow, not snow on top of ice. So, remember me telling you about the man that was looking in my sister's window in broad daylight last week? Well, the night before last, her dog was barking and barking at 2:30 in the morning. She looked out the back door, didn't see anything. So, she went to look out the kitchen window...and there was a man standing beside her car. He crouched down and they had a staring contest. Finally he ducked down and took off. Scary. This has been happening a little too often. Last night we were watching a movie and the dog started barking. I jerked my head around and stared at Leah, wide eyed....she just laughed at me. I was just a little bit scared. :) I guess it was nothing though, because the dog stopped barking and we didn't hear either one of our alarms on our cars go off. Brenda at work said she should call the police department, just to tell them about the past couple weeks, so they could patrol the neighborhood. I concur. I'm so glad that I made it to work today. I cannot handle any more time off. Plus all my appointments and Zac's appointments are taking time out of work too! Zac's doctor appointments alone are breaking me, money wise!! Monday he had an eye appointment. Today he has a dentist appointment. Tomorrow we have his appointment to see about medication for his anxiety/ADHD. Therapy every 2 weeks. UGH! But I really can't complain because the therapy really seems to be helping! Although his wrist twisting has seemed to stop, he is now blinking non-stop. Which is why he had an eye appointment on Monday, but his vision is fine. I guess it's a new thing. Weird. His next therapy session is Tuesday, so we'll talk about his new tick. Friday I have to go to court for the 5 hundred millionth time! UGH! What is the point?? Five years and $23,000 + of back child support....there is really no reason. Oh well, at least I can say I'm doing my part. blah. The the week after next, I'm FINALLY taking Beauty to get her fixed. I can't handle puppies again!! I wanted to keep them all!! And I don't even like animals all that much :) Soooo, I seem to have accomplished the quitting smoking. I have not had a cigarette since September...something. My new goal, give up Dr Pepper. If you know me, you know this is REALLY going to be a challenge. More so than cigarettes I think. I started smoking when I was 15. I started my addiction to Dr Pepper at age 11. All I drink all day, everyday is Dr Pepper. I'm on day 2 of no Dr Pepper. I had a major head ache yesterday, but today I'm doing ok. :) Hopefully I can do this!

Woke up this morning....

...feeling like P Diddy.

Ok, not really. Unless P Diddy wakes up exhausted and dreading getting out of bed. I could NOT fall asleep last night! I was laying on the couch, watching Nancy Grace, possibly crying a little over the story of a cleaning guy finding a one hour old baby in a toilet after a circus in South Carolina. Ugh....I'm not even going into that right now. It disgusted me. I turned off the tv and read a little. Started to get tired, turned off the light....then tossed and turned for a good 2 hours.

I could NOT fall asleep!!

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? Like, it's so stuck in your head, you can't sleep because you keep singing it over and over. Then you fall asleep...only to wake up (to go pee or get a drink) and start singing it again?!?!

I did that last night!

Pink Floyd..."Veeeraaa, Veeeraaa.....what has become of you?"

I don't think I've even heard this song in years. Why was it stuck in my head?

Weird.

Snow no more. Please!!

Yay!! I'm at work today!! Granted it took me 45 minutes to get here this morning...but it was worth it!! The only time I like to be cooped up in the house, missing work, is when it's by my own choice!! Not because I'm stuck there...and unable to leave. That just sucks!! I had to get out of the house yesterday, too!! I was going crazy! So, at about 12, I attempted (and succeeded) in picking up my boys and driving home. First I had to pick up Zac from his nana's, then Gage from his friend's house. Then we went home to check on and feed our poor dog, Beauty. But she was running around enjoying the snow. Idiot. :) I told Leah I would be back before dark. I just had to check on the dog and be home for a little bit. Plus, my phone was completely dead, so I had to charge it!! PLUS, I just needed out!! I was a nervous wreck driving, but it was still nice to be out and about!! Anywaysssss, we left the house at 6, to get back to Leah's before dark. Everytime I started to slide a little, Gage would start giggling. Finally, I was like..."GAGE! Shut up!! I can't concentrate!!" It took us an hour to get there!! Reeeeee-dic-you-lusss! So, when I got to Leah's she said that right after I left, Lucia, her friend, and Jack wanted to play in the snow. So, Dustin told Jack to wait until he got out of the shower and he would take him out. Lucia and her friend went ahead and went outside. They walked out of the front door, around the side of the house (to where the drive way is) and saw a man, leaning over the bushes, looking in their kitchen window! She looked at him and said,"What are you doing at my house?" and he walked away really fast. So she ran inside and told Leah that there was a man looking in the window. Leah asked her what he was wearing. She said he had on a black hoodie, sunglasses, jeans, Converse, and was carrying a pillow case! So, Leah told Dustin and he hopped out of the shower and went looking for the man. He found him in an alley a few blocks away and asked him what he was doing at his house, blah, blah, blah...threatened to shoot him if he saw him on his property again, blah, blah, blah. Haha, you know..the usual. But anyways, how freaking scary is that? A man in broad daylight....creeping around. Probably going to try to break into their cars or something. Needless to say, I had nightmares all night. Dreaming that someone was breaking into the house. Ugh. Overactive imagination, I have. And of course, I told Lucia not to try to be so brave next time. The man could've snatched her up and taken off. Ugh! Scary!!

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

This is how I'm feeling. Cooped up, cabin fever, I need to get away. I've been stuck in my sister's house since Monday night.


This weather needs to stop now. Go away, coldness.
The single digits today? High 25 tomorrow??


Zac has been with his dad since school let out Monday. I can't get him...the roads are too bad.
Leah ventured out yesterday in her 4 wheel drive to go to the grocery store. She took Gage to his friends house. I thought the weather would start to clear up today.
Will this ever end???
I'm go'n craaaazy!!!!!

And.....no cable. Yes, the cable is out. :( No crime shows for me today.
Maybe that's a good thing. I had some weird dreams last night!

Good ole Days

An old picture my cousin Carrie posted on Facebook today.
Abby and Leah in the left bottom corner.
Then Carrie, Jeff, and yep......the fatty in the Porky Pig shirt is porky me. haha.



Awwww, all of us cousins were all so close growing up. And we still are.
I love my family!! :)

Snow day.

I stayed the night at my sister's house last night. Everyone kept saying how bad the weather is going to get. They always say that and it rarely does.

But, to be on the safe side, I stayed at her house...a little closer to work.

I woke up this morning; took a shower, dried my hair, got dressed, then started out the door to get my car started.

Leah said,"Stephanie! You're not seriously getting out in this are you?"
I said,"Yeah. I have to! Patients are coming in. I have to."
She said,"Have you seen it out there?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. I HAVE to go in."
"But have you seen it out there?"
"No. But I HAVE to go in."
"Ok, just be careful. Don't wreck. Don't wreck."

I opened the door and ohh emm gee!! It was a winter wonderland! And it was still coming down.
Stupid me; I go outside in my scrubs and Converse, sinking into the snow. My pants getting soaking wet. Get to the car, step off the curb, and freaking sink down to my knee!

But I'm still attempting this!! I started the car. Blasted the heater/defrost and began tracking back inside.
But then, as I'm brushing my teeth and getting my mascara/eye liner on, my heart starts pounding.
Can I really make it to work? What if I get stuck in the snow like I did the Christmas before last, heading out to my mom's? I was on the side of the road for 2 hours!
Not only that, but I forgot my phone charger last night....I only have ONE bar on my phone!
Oh well. I HAVE to go to work. But man, I have a bad feeling about this!

I go out to the car, get in, turn on the windshield wipers...they won't budge. I scrape the window, my fingers are numb!! I come back inside to get some gloves from Leah and tell her I think I already have frost bite.
Hey, this is Texas. We're not really used to this kind of weather! :)
Ugh, I go back to the car back up to leave....and get stuck. Yes, I drove a whole foot and got stuck. Try as I might...I can't get out. I go forward, I go backward...STUCK!
All that work for nothing. I have to call in.
Damn, my paycheck is going to be mad at me!

So, here I am...cozy in Lucia's bed, with the blowdryer blowing on my (too close for comfort, frost bit) feet.
Just got a text from Brenda at work telling me that we're closed down for tomorrow...see ya Thursday.
Man, my paycheck is going to suck.
Oh well...what are you gonna do?

Wow, that was a long story. With really no great climax. Sorry about that! :)

So as I said in my last post, I brought "Scream" over to watch last night. Lucia said she wanted a scary movie.
I don't think "Scream" is really a scary movie...but I sure did the first time I saw it! So, I figured Lucia would like it! She and Jack both love scary movies.
But I guess I didn't realize how scary it could be for a 9 year old and a 3 year old.

Lucia and Jack "watching" Scream:




hahahahahaha.

They're outside playing in the snow. I guess I'll go take some pics of this crazy blizzard! ;)
Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!
