Happy Friday!!! :)

Here's a photo of my cute little puppies!!! They are almost 2 weeks old now! :)

They're just now opening their eyes! How freaking cute is that??

On another note......

Yesterday Zac's dad picked him up from school yesterday. So, I decided to go to Leah's to take a nap. Gage didn't get out of practice until 5 and I was exhausted.

So, I went to Lucia's room....her bed is so comfy! Full of blankets and pillows.....I turned on the blow dryer to blow on my feet. (I always do that when I lay down.)

Anyways, I was all comfortable....then I turn and what do I see??

This!

just staring at me.

I am scared to death of dolls. Seriously.

not cool.

Lucia, don't you think you're a little too old for dolls?

Gosh.

Just a Wee Bit

WEE BIT WEDNESDAY!

{one} have you ever seen a ghost?
Well, obviously.....
One night (when I was married) I woke in the middle of night and sat up in bed. I could see into the living room from my room. I saw Russ get up from the couch and walk past the bedroom door to the front door. I wondered what he was doing...if he heard something outside...
But then I realized, he was at the firestation, working. He wasn't even home!! I slowly got out of bed, tip toed to my door, peeked out....and saw nothing.
I jumped back in bed, covered up to my nose and eyeballed the living room for a long time before I fell back to sleep.
The end.

{two} when was the last time you dressed up for halloween?
The year before last. So, 2008. I was a flapper.

{three} what’s your favorite candy?
Oh, I don't know. I have to be in the mood to eat candy....and it's really not often that I am. But when I do want some, I usually want a Hershey bar and a jar of peanut butter to eat it with :)

{four} did you have a favorite costume growing up?
Yeah, a punk rocker! I was a punk rocker EVERY year when I was little. haha.

{five} did you carve pumpkins this year?
My boys and I carve pumpkins every year. We haven't yet this year though.....guess we better get started on that.

{six} what’s your favorite scary movie?
Ohhh, I have so many!! I love the scary, scary ones and I love the funny scary ones. I've always loved the Scream movies! I'm so excited to see Scream 4! Yes, they get more and more lame, the more they make...but that's the same with all sequels. I loved the first Scream and part 2 and part 3. I know I will love 4!
But I also love Paranormal Activity, The Strangers, The Omen, Rosemary's Baby, and of course, as mentioned in my previous post, Halloween.

{seven} haunted houses or corn mazes?
Haunted House!

{eight} are you superstitious?
I try not to be, but I catch myself sometimes. :)

{nine} have you ever owned a black cat?
We've owned every kind of cat you can imagine. Me and my sister used to find strays and bring them home!

{ten} what are you plans for this coming halloween?
Well, Saturday they're having a little carnival type thing (at the church) that they have every year. I usually take the boys with Leah and her kiddos. But apparently this year Gage is too old and Zac has a Halloween party to go to. :/
Sunday I am taking Zac trick or treating though! :)

A little visualness for you....

I haven't posted any pictures in a while....so I thought I'd share some today. :)

First of all, my kids wanted a "snack" from McDonalds after school today. I HATE McDonalds. I used to love McDonalds....but once you have kids, nope...no more.
Anyways...there is ONE thing I love at McDonalds. And of course, it's the one thing they give to you...then take away!!!
THE McRIB! Oh my gosh, I love those things!!! :)




Secondly....I have a question. Why do you think it is that EVERY single time I go to Zac's school to pick him, I HAVE to go pee? I absolutely HATE using a public toilet that 5 billion kids use a day. But I swear, everyday I am about to explode I have to pee so bad. This started last year. And I swear, not a day goes by that I don't have to pee when picking him up.
Do you think it's all in my head? I tried to tell myself it is and force myself to stay in the car...but then I feel like I'm going to die, if I don't just go pee.
weird.

Do you have kids? If you do, you know that there are a lot of things that you'll do for kids...that you normally wouldn't do. This is weekend, I'm doing something I so don't want to do. I mean, I really, really, really don't want to do this.

I'm taking Gage and James to see Jackass 3D. Ugh. The weekend before last, I tried to take them, but they weren't having any of that "I'll buy them the ticket and come get them after" stuff. Nooo, you have to actually GO TO the movie with them.

Ugh.

Yes, I'm going to see Jackass 3D on Saturday.

The things I do for my son and "second son"!

Yesterday I watched "Psycho". The original one. It's been a long time since I've seen it. And while there are parts of it that are pretty lame...it's still pretty freaking scary. I think I had nightmares last night!

I love scary movies though!! I love Halloween! The holiday...and the movie!!!
Halloween is probably in my top 5 favorite scary movies. The original one is sooo scary. The remake...oh my goodness.. It's just sick and twisted and scary and just....wow. Yeah, it really scared me. I saw it at the movie theaters when it came out. I loved it. It had been a while since I had seen it, so Gage and James wanted to see it. We went to Hastings and bought it. We came home to watch it,....and did I mention it's also a little awkward to watch with two 14 year old boys? Yeah...there's some nudy girls. haha. I was like.."Hide your eyes, boys!" haha. Yeah right.


Anyways, there was some just random blogging for you. I felt like I was getting a little too depressing for my blog friends. :)
Sorry about that...but that's just life....or maybe, just my life!

No rainbows...without a little rain. :)

I feel so lonely and out of the loop since moving!! I mean, I'm only 15 minutes out of town...but that's with no phone service...no internet service....nothing.
I can't catch up on Facebook or Blogger or even check my email.
This weekend SUCKED!!! We didn't get to do the Walk a Thon for the homeless, because it was one huge, long thunderstorm all weekend!
I didn't get to go to Benjamin's birthday party...because it was supposed to be at the park, but they changed it to Lauren's house. But I didn't get that text message until later that night....because I have no service!!!! Seriously? Ridiculous.
Seriously.
I was off work yesterday. We only had 5 patients. It was nice to be able to take my boys to school. I stayed up too late reading the Sookie Stackhouse books (True Blood, baby). So I got them up and ready and took them to school. Stopped by Starbucks to get a Skinny Vanilla Latte...yum....drove home and starting reading again. Fell asleep and didn't wake up until TWELVE O'CLOCK in the afternoon!!!
I haven't slept that long in for.ev.vor!!!!
Having the day off and catching up on my sleep, I was feeling it was a good day! Gonna be a good week even!!
wrong.
I picked up Gage from baseball practice...early. He got hit square in the forehead with a baseball. He was going to say something to the guy that threw it, but couldn't think of the guy's name! It came back to him. He had a pretty bad headache all day.
So, I got to set my alarm and wake up every 2 hours, to wake him up last night, to make sure he didn't have a concussion or something.
To add to it, Gage's dad's family was calling me about Billy.
They said he's doing really bad. I asked Gage if he'd heard from him anymore and he said he hadn't in a few days.
Apparently he's now smoking crack. He's stealing from his family, breaking into warehouses....living in hotel rooms with crack heads. What am I supposed to do about all of this? I'm done. I've had him put in jail, for child support. That's all I can do.
Right now I'm to the point where I want him out of my life and out of Gage's life for good. I don't know how much more Gage can take. I know I can't take much more.
Will everything just stop....just for a moment. I can't seem to catch a break, people!
Anywayssssss, the school nurse called from Gage's school today. He still has a headache. So, I had to leave work to pick him up.
I was going to go back to work, but I called my aunt Lisa (who's an RN) and she said it sounded like I needed to take him to the doctor.
Plus I was supposed to have a parent/teacher conference at Zac's school and pick up his report card. I had to call and cancel that...hopefully be able to reschedule that for a later date. So, I can take Gage to the doctor. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I need a vacation. :)

Sooo, that's what has been going on in my world! I gotta go take Gage to the doctor now. I guess I can catch up on my blog reading while waiting at the doctor office!

Friday, woot woot.

I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday. It's been one heck of a week. I could use a little weekend in my life. :)
It's going to be a pretty busy weekend too, though. Cleaning house, doing laundry, cleaning out the backyard. Beauty decided to tear her pillow to pieces...stuffing is all over the backyard!!
Saturday me and my sister are doing a walk-a-thon for the homeless. We're raising money for thier Thanksgiving dinner. :) Then after that, we have Benjamin's birthday party! (My cousin, Bryan's boy). Sunday, church....and hopefully a lot of napping in between that stuff. :)
As mentioned in a previous post, one of the men in my life, driving me crazy...would be, Gage's dad. Yes, he's back. He's been MIA since about July. But he decided to come out of hiding to jack with his son's head again. So, I'm once again, trying to deal with this situation. Frustrating, heartbreaking, draining.
I got a flu shot today. My co worker threw up in the trash can behind me. gag. Gage wants a tattoo. I told him the only way he could get a tattoo before the age 18 is if it says "Mom". haha. I'd like to see that happen!
I had to get my car back from Jauque. :( My dad came and took it to sale. I felt bad, because she really needs that car. She had it for about 3 weeks, then he decided he wasn't giving me the title....he was going to sell it.
My co workers told me there was supposed to be a huge storm coming tonight...so I'm staying the night at my sisters. haha. I know, I'm a dork. But I've been a little bit of a chicken shit since moving. :)
But it's like 8:30...which is like 30 minutes AFTER my bedtime, so I gotta get off the computer! haha.
Plus Gage is begging me to let him on, so he can look up what he wants for Christmas.
Can you believe he wants a baseball bat, baseball glove, and a batting glove...it comes in a pack for like $175!!! Are you freaking kidding me??? That is ridiculous! Why..WHY must this stuff be so expensive?!?!
On the other hand, I'm very excited that he is loving baseball. :) I can't wait to go watch him play!
Alright, I'm out...ttyl.
;)
