Here's a story....

Tuesday night, Zac went to a birthday party at Skate Whirl. Yes, roller skating! I LOVE to skate....or I used to, anyways. I haven't gone in a couple years...I wonder if I could still do it? Anyways, on with my story.... Zac gets in the car and this is our conversation: Me: Did you have fun at the birthday party? Zac: Yeah. Me: Did you skate? Zac: Yeah. .............. Ok, I'm tired of trying to make conversation. I stop talking. .............. Zac: (big sigh) Me: What's up? Zac: There was this mean boy there. Me: Oh yeah? Why was he mean? What did he do? Zac: He punched a girl in the stomach and she almost threw up. Me: Eww. That IS mean! Zac: Yeah, then he pushed me and Nathan (birthday boy) down. Me: Aw, are you ok? Zac: Yeah, but I cried, I was embarrassed. Me: It's alright. No big deal. Did you push him back? Zac: Yeah! ......... Zac: Well, I tried to push him, but I kept rolling back in my skates. Me and Gage: ahahahahahahahahaha. (ok, I KNOW a lot of people think I'm wrong, but I DO tell my kids...they hit you, you hit them back! Gotta learn to take up for yourself! I do tell them that they NEVER throw the first punch/push/whatnot.)

Actually, Ms. Marianne....

I did wear Valentine socks today. :)

My son....

I guess when boys reach a certain age, they just get more retarded than they already are. Before Christmas I asked Gage what he wanted for Christmas. He said he wanted a wheelchair. I'm like...you're kidding, right? He says, nooo. It's fun to play around in them. Ok, NO wheelchairs! You ruhtard!! THEN he and my cousin's kids all want to go to Academy. Gage got some gift cards from there and they were burnin' a hole in his pocket! So I took all three boys and one girl to Academy. I waited in the car, because they were taking too long. Finally after being in the car for 45 minutes, I texted Gage and told him to wrap it up! They all came to the car....empty handed. Then they were like....can we go to Wal Mart??? Which I think all of them had gift cards to there. I said the only way I would take them was if I could drop them off and they could convince one of the many people at my sister's house to come pick them up. So, Leah agrees to pick them up later. Then Gage calls and asks if I would give him $20 for his $25 gift card to Wal Mart. Sorry, bud...I have no cash. So, then he texts Leah and asks her the same thing, because he found something at PetSmart he wanted to buy. Wait....I thought you were at Wal Mart?? Ok, they walked over to PetSmart. I asked him what he was going to buy our dog at PetSmart. No, he wants to buy his girlfriend a necklace. At PetSmart? I joke with my cousins that he's going to buy his girlfriend a dog tag! haha. Leah picks them all up....what did my son do? He bought his girlfriend a dog tag.......yeah. Wow. It says,"I love you -Gage" haha. Kinda sweet. Really corny. I'm sure there was something better than that he could find, right? What a dork!! Monday night, Gage stayed the night with his friend Casey. He came home last night...guess how he entered my room....where I was layed up in bed, reading..... YES! He came strolling in...in a wheelchair!!! Whaaat? His friend Casey had one that he used to play on, but he got a golf cart, so he gave Gage his wheelchair. Seriously? Why is my son....and his friends...such dorks? p.s. Pictures of Christmas Party at my sister's to come...along with the story bragging on how well I did with my step mom. I KILLED HER...,.with kindness. Go, me!

Secret Santa!

I am in the Christmas spirit! I'm one ugly Christmas sweater away from being the old women I make fun of!! haha.

I'm wearing TWO santa pins today.

These cute little berets. I have my hair in pig tails today and each pig tail has these cute little clips.

All thanks to my Secret Santa here at work! :)

I'm also wearing the cute little bell bracelet that is pictured below with my lotion and chap stick. :)

Notice the Hot Fries in the background. That's my breaksfast every morning. My secret santa was nice enough to get me a couple bags of those too! haha.
