Im in a mood..bear with me....

Ok, so some of you all know from my myspace blog how I feel lately about a particular person that has said some nasty stuff.. well heres my dilemma... if Im a "good christian" then I am suppose to forgive her, right? Well, I don't wanna. lol.. I just want to part ways with her and not speak to her again but its kind of hard bc we WILL see each other again. Lots probably. Do I bring this to her attention? Do I tell her that she was wrong, even though I KNOW what the outcome is going to be? Or should I just gracefully NOT taker her calls, and basically part ties with her? The problem is, is that she thinks she is right about EVERYTHING and will most likely keep calling me till I pick up. Oh well, I know that was a whole lot of nothing, but if you know about my other post, it will make more sense lol...

Well my Fall break sucked, how about yours???

I spent the 1st day of Fall Break bowing down to the porcelain king. Yep, I was puking for my 1st day of the "fun" fall break. I had so much planned for that week! The weather was going to be beautiful, the perfect fall weather, and we were going to spend most of it OUTSIDE!!! I spent the entire Monday in BED. Mom came up and watched the boys for me while Scott was at work... I vaguely remember popping a much expired Phenergan I found from my sick days with Wyatt man around 10am, and then I remember about 4:30 when I rolled out of the bed and figured I should go see if the kids have killed Nanna yet... luckily, they hadn't.

I still felt yucky throughout the night and into Tuesday..once again I popped the expired phen and slept much of Tuesday away... one good thing about sleeping is that you cant puke at the same time! Wow, this is how I spent my whole 1st trimester TWICE. So I wake up and its Wednesday.. only 2 more days of fall break. My kids have rarely been out of their pj's, my house looks like DHS would be showing up any minute now, but by golly - we are doing SOMETHING. I managed to drag myself to CHuck E Cheese.. Pizza sounded good and the boys needed to get out.... Oh did I mention zack threw up tues night?? he was fine afterwards.. anyway...Thursday night we went to Boo again and then Friday it rained.. so that was basically it. Why must our fall breaks consist of someone puking? Ick......

A funeral for a crab...

It is my sad duty to inform of you of the smallest hermit crab's passing. I had seen it coming for awhile now, as its a rare treat for Zack to actually feed those things lol... no, seriously though, he was acting weird - never came of out of his shell, ect... anyhoo.. I found him the other morning. Nasty little legs all sticking out of his shell.. ick..I told zack and he immeditely said "We have to bury it." Hmmm.. I was thinking of chuckin it in the trash, but ok.. that's a little more humane I guess .... so we took him outside and I asked zack where we should put him. He chose, ahem, my flowers. lol...So we put him under the mulch and zack put an acorn on top of him to mark his grave (lol) It was really funny,but really sweet at the same time lol... poor crab.

Disney Day at school!


Today was such a fun day at school! I love Halloween and HATE that our kids don't get to even mention the word in school anymore.. Some of my best memories come from having dress up day at school with my friends in Elementary school. I totally understand WHY they don't anymore, but it still bums me out a little. Anyhoo... TODAY they have "dress up as your favorite Disney character day." Since it was the last day before Fall break for Knox County AND the school surpassed their coupon book sales goals, the principal made today a fun day! I was so excited... as were the kids.

I racked my brain over what Z could dress as....we had already bought his Halloween costume and I didn't want to spend too much money on yet another outfit... so I found this Pirate outfit at Target on sale for 14.99 :) He went as Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean - yes, its Disney..although, it was strecthing it a bit for some of these kids - I saw Batman and Superman today - both of which are NOT Disney, just so you know haha....

We went in today and everyone was dressed so cute! Only a few didn't dress up..there were LOTS of Hannah Montana's and Gabriella's from HSM ...Z's teacher, who has very blonde hair, dressed up as Jack Sparrow! She looked soooo cute!!! It was so strange to see her with dark hair after seeing her with this white-blonde hair all the time.. it was too cute! I went in and took pictures and hung around for the assembly program... Ms. Burnett promised there would be a big suprise and there was! She came in dressed as Hannah Montana too lol.. it was soo funny.. THEN she pulled the top 10 sellers up front and told them they were giong to get in their "tour bus" and go to Gatti's for lunch! We alllll go outside and this huge charter bus pulls up and they get on and go to Gattis! How cool was that!! Those kids' eyes were just gleaming.. it was so sweet of her to pull a big stunt like that!!


Here are a few pictures from the day. W had a blast in Z's classroom.. we ate lunch with him and W thought he was big stuff, let me tell ya lol.. all the girls were oohhhing and ahhhing over him and he was eating it up lol...




Will Turner....





The Pirates and the Ninja with Jack Sparrow

Taking a moment to brag on my kids :)

Well I have to take a moment to brag on my kiddos.
Zack - This Saturday Zack will get his YELLOW belt in Karate! He passed his tests and will be awarded at a graduation ceremony on Saturday! Zack also got his 1st report card of the year and it was straight E's down the board!! Yay!! He is doing super well in school this year.. I just hope we can keep it up!

Wyatt's big accomplishment is peepeeing on the potty!!! We have been trying for weeks off and on and he would try everynight but just could never do anything.. well, last night, I turned on the water in the sink and he peed! lol... He was so proud of himself!!! I gave him 2 peices of candy corn afterwards and of course he wanted to pee all night, but he has tried again today all by himself :) Next week when CVS has their Huggies deal going on, Im going to buy him some pullups and we will try a little harder :)

My idiot neighbors...

1st let me remind you that its OCTOBER.. EARLY October.. we have some nuts up our road that actually have CHRISTMAS lights up and ON. Icecicle lights! I thought for sure they would be orange, but NOPE.. white. These are the same idiots that let their inside bird out to "play." Brandiee and I found it one day in the road and noticed its wings were clipped and it was in the road. We chased it down bc it was going to either get eaten by a cat or hit by a car, and we caught it and tried to figure out where it belonged. We took it from house to house and asked and actually asked the people it belonged to and they ran in the house when they saw us coming - what???! So we went on and then the man came over and took it from us.. no "thanks for bringing our bird back", nothing.... then he proceeded to let it "play" in the bush by the house again. idiots.
