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! :)

Coyotes and Scorpions and Snakes! Oh My!

Oh, the joys of country life!!

I am so behind on my blog reading and updating!

I got moved in this weekend. Now I'm just unpacking and setting everything up. I haven't set up my computer yet because I know I will get nothing done if I do. :) It's an addiction, really. So, I'm at Leah's right now, waiting for Gage to get done with baseball practice....catching up on my blogging with Lucia's laptop. How sad that my 9 year old niece has a laptop and I don't. haha.

Last night was our first night in the new house. I was very proud of Zac, he slept in his own room all night long! I didn't sleep very well. :( My back is soooo sore from moving! I think I was just too tired and achy and restless.

My landlord is very nice, but kinda weird. He talks A LOT! He talked about the poisonous critters for a good hour. No exaggeration, either.

This morning (at 5:20 a.m.) it was kind of chilly out, so I went to start the car for the boys before I loaded them in. Oh.My.Gosh. Have you ever heard a pack of coyotes howling and hollering together??? It's only about the scariest sound EVER!! Sounded like a bunch of werewolves...I watch too many scary movies. But yeah....it was really creepy. And dark. And loud. And creepy.
Anyone have a gun I could buy.
For real though! I'm considering buying one.
Rattlesnakes? Coyotes? Crazy pyscho killers?
Hey, you never know. It's pretty out there in the middle of no where.
But I do love it. It's peaceful. Very little traffic going up and down the road.
Beauty was out with Gage yesterday, running around, having a good time with all the land. :)

Yeah, I think we'll like it out there. Once I get used to the howling. *shiver*

Pause

Well, I'm going to have a pretty busy end of the week/weekend, so this is going to be my last post for a while!! I know, I know.....you're used to me blogging like 5 times a day. But as I've said 5 billion times....Kings of Leon tomorrow night! And moving the rest of the weekend!! Hopefully I'll have pretty much everything done by Sunday. :) (yeah right.)

So, at church tonight a choir from another church and came to sing for us. Oh.my.gosh. They were soooo good. One lady sang Rugged Cross and my eyes watered up.....I had to fight back the tears!! It was wonderful! Oh how I wish I could sing! :/

I'm finally getting the title to my Saturn, from my dad! I've been wanting it to sell, because Lord knows I could use the money. But everything happens for a reason, and I believe the reason it has taken my dad so long to get it to me is because......Jauque's van broke down. :(
She has FIVE kids and one step daughter. She and her husband have only one car between the two of them. And the engine cracked. So, I think I'm going to let her borrow my car until she can get their other one fixed.

Speaking of Jauque, Gage's dad called her yesterday. Which is fine. I mean, we've all been friends for years. But it's just the fact that he hasn't talked to his son in 2 months.
Anyways, he calls her and says,"So, how's my son doing?"
Seriously? I didn't know he was aware of the fact that he HAS a son! She was like..."Uhh, I don't know, why don't you call him yourself and find out." His excuse? "I just don't know how to fix it." She says,"Well, YOU'RE a grown man and believe it or not, your son is almost a grown man, figure it out."
I know the reason he stays away (aside from the drugs) is the $20, 000 he owes me in child support. But I've told him numerous times that his son needs a man in his life. I need the money, but that's not what is important.
He just doesn't get it. I am so frustrated. He will never change. And that is sad for my son.
Oh well. At least he has me! :) And my family. We love him more than he'll ever know!! <3
Ohhh, Zackary, you know I love you, too. Gosh, you get so jealous!
haha.

Alright, blog-readers.....this is it. I hope you enjoyed my last post...for AT LEAST 4 days. Oh my gosh!
You can handle it. ;)

Day 30: LAST DAY....finally. ;)

Day 30 of the 30 Day Challenge

Day 30: Whatever Tickles your Fancy

Hallelujah.

It's finally the last day of the 30 Day Challenge. Aren't you so proud of me for finishing something? That's not easy for me, ya know. I'm all about STARTING projects, but not finishing them.

So, it's Wednesday, I guess I'll do Leigh Ashley's Wee Bit post/questions and whatnot......because you know what???....THAT is what tickles my fancy today.

{one} what is your happiest childhood memory?
When we lived in Decatur and I was about 7 or so. Leah was about 10, there was a huge forest/ditch out behind where we lived. People would to dump things they didn't want down there. Couches, dressers, all kinds of stuff. So, me and my sis, along with some of our friends, built a club house in the ditch, surrounded by trees. We rummaged around and brought the best thrown out furniture we could find. Playing in the ditch and at our club house was the best time. Even if our mom made us strip down when we got inside to check us for ticks. Because we usually had AT LEAST one on us everytime. haha. Gross.

{two} what is your middle name?
I don't really tell people my middle name. Until recently. So, I'll go ahead and tell ya...it's Doris. My Mee Maw's name.

{three} what’s the habit you’re most proud of breaking?
I would say smoking. But I'm not sure I can really be proud of that just yet. I just quit on Sunday. Saturday was my last cigarette. I've quit numerous times....I'm just hoping I can do it for real. But man, I've been cranky!

{four} what do you order when you order chinese food?
I usually get hot and sour chicken and vegetable lo mein.

{five} what’s the best bargain you’ve ever found at a garage sale or thrift store?
I don't do much garage saling or thrifting. I mean, I have. And it is fun....I just don't really do it much. Can't really think of any bargains.

{six} what’s the best costume you’ve ever worn?
I would say this one. I was Madonna and my ex was Dennis Rodman. I think they were the best costumes EVER! haha.
And I was scared of this Michael Myers! haha.

Man, look at that cigarette in my hand....I sure do want one! Gosh.

{seven} who’s your favorite game show host?
I don't watch Game Shows....unless you count Survivor as a game show. I mean, it kinda is right? I love Survivor and the guy who does that show. He's pretty funny.

{eight} what’s your favorite breakfast food?
I'm not much of a breakfast eater. I mean, I'll eat a Sevi's burrito for breakfast...chorizo, cheese, potato, uhh, hold the egg. Not really breakfast without the egg, but that's what I order. :) Sometimes I eat Blueberry Special K cereal!!

{nine} what’s your least favorite word?
The C-word or the P-word....both referring to the same thing. You know....the vagina...ewww, that word kinda grosses me out too. Really, there's no good word for it.

{ten} describe something that happened to you for which you have no explanation.
Hmmm, nothing really comes to mind at the moment. Let me think about it...and possibly get back to you later. I gotta go pack some more. :)

Peace out.

Day 29: Hopes, Dreams, Plans

Day 29 of the 30 Day Challenge

Day 29: Hopes, Dreams, and Plans for the next 365 days.

While I sometimes really enjoyed doing this little challenge, I must say, I'm very excited that I only have one day left. Not only because I'm kinda tired of being told what to write about ;) But also because I'm moving this weekend. Like in 3 days we're going to start moving. So, me and the boys have been very busy since we got home, packing.
We just had today and we have tomorrow (after school and work) really to do the majority of the packing. Thursday I have to work and the minute I'm off, I'm picking up Gage and then we're heading to Dallas for the Kings of Leon concert. :)

I know everyone says this...but seriously, how can I possibly have so much crap in this little house?? I'm totally throwing all kinds of stuff away. I was going to have a garage sale, but I don't think I'll have time for that. So everything is just going to the dump!!

Ok, so I kind of got off track....so, back to the challenge.

What are my hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 day?

I hope to become a better: mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, niece, cousin, co worker, employee, and just a better person all together each day.
I dream of getting a better job or part time job so I don't have to struggle so much financially. And so that I could be able to buy everything my boys need, when they need it, instead of having to borrow money to do this and constantly owe my mom or sister money. Cause that sucks, yo.
I just want to be comfortable. In my life; mentally, physically, financially....just comfortable.
My plans are: to work on the hopes and dreams that I have.

I know it doesn't seem like much and a lot of people have bigger dreams and hopes for the coming up year, but I'm a simple kinda gal. It doesn't take much to make me happy :)

....Peace out, yo.
