Big mess, no respect and lots of water

My day started off pretty well, nothing major happened throughout the morning. Cassie and i worked on getting windows cleaned, while i cleaned she played in a bucket of water soaking the carpet, spilled chocolate pudding, took off her poopy diaper and tried to wipe herself with a clean shirt she took out of her dresser. Now if your name was Tom and i told you this happenned the first question he would ask is "And where were you when all this was occurring?" Well of course i was washing the flippin windows he asked me to do. It was nap time shortly after i got the mess cleaned up.

I had a friend stop over with her two kids and she stayed at my house while i ran to pick up my kids from school. Anyone who knows my son Caleb knows he doesnt deal well with transition times. He came home and started in on his homework for a class he has at 4:15, it was 3:15 at the time and it should have been finished last week. He was getting very frustrated by the noise. (he could have went to his room and worked) but he chose to blurt out very loudly "Geez why does everyone have to be so loud and why do we always have to have people at our house" I was in total shock that my son could be so rude, all i could think of at the time was to send him to his room. I'm still thinking of the punishment i am going to give him. of course he will apologize to my friend, but i'm also thinking of making him write an essay on RESPECT.

After that incident and supper the girls and I watered the flowers, they are such good helpers. You can tell by the first picture that cassie like to drown the flowers.

No Rest for the Weary

The fun of the busy weekend started Friday night. Caleb had soccer tryouts for next season and Catlin was invited to watch the opening of Shrek, Cassie and I just stayed at home... had a walk, bath, snack, play time with Angelica, and finally bed. Catlin's friend called and said they were almost to our house and asked if we could just open the door so that they wouldn't wake Cassie... (our dog barks alot) so i went to open the front door and this 6 foot donkey greeted me. Our family NEVER wins anything but of course the first time we do, this is what we get. Tom says it's going out for garbage tomorrow Catlin has a different idea, i'm sure it will be hidden (somehow) in her bedroom.

Saturday came pretty early, Caleb had a track meet to start the morning off. He was in the long jump, 100 and 200... i couldn't get very good pictures, i'll just blame it on the camera, i'm sure it wasn't the photographer. I did get some pictures of Cassie and Catlin playing on a big mound of dirt. After the track meet we went to Wendy's for lunch... Cassie wouldn't sit in her chair and just wanted to run all over, so i took her and left to put her down for a nap. She had a short nap because it was time for Caleb's soccer game. I didn't get ANY pictures of that because i left my camera on by mistake and the batteries were dead. After the soccer game my family was going to take me out to eat to this seafood restaurant that we like. I should have know that cassie wouldn't sit still. She screamed when i put her in the high chair so i tried holding her. She bit me on the shoulder so hard i wanted to scream. I tried a big girl chair, she threw her chocolate milk on the floor. (yes she really threw it) Did i mention it was also prom night and the restaurant was filled with teenagers in fancy dresses, yes the chocolate milk splattered all over a girl behind us. Normally i would say something to the person, this time i did not.... i just grabbed my child and left while the rest of my family sat there casually eating their dinner. Cassie had a timeout in the car seat. Tom came out to get me 20 minutes later saying i could go back and eat. Oh YUMMY COLD FOOD for my birthday dinner. I just went in got a box, paid and left. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! When we got home i hearded 3 kids thru the bath and put cassie to bed.... Tom went to the club to run, it figures

The last picture is of courtney, she went to shipshewanna ( a huge flea market) with her grandma and grandpa.... she got a new hat and crock shoes.... i wish i would have went!

Today is just starting... i sent the family to church without me, later we have soccer and it starts all over again.

Good Morning MOM

Today i was awakened with a HUGE spider above my head and shrill screams. The screams were coming from me. My mother taught me at a very young age to be terrified of spiders. I screeched for caleb to come and help me. He came down and took one look at the spider and ran upstairs mumbling sorry mom. I guess i also taught him at a young age to be scared of spiders. I slithered out of bed and ran upstairs to get the sweeper, of course the spider was gone when i came back. So now i get to tiptoe around my bedroom all day.

The second panic of the morning was my kids realizing that today is CRAZY HAIR DAY.... why schools have to do this is beyond me, do they just want to torture the parents? Catlin spent 15 minutes straigtening her hair and then called for Caleb to put her purple highlites in, of course Caleb is NOT going to stop at just highlites on his sisters head. (what was she thinking) she came running to me in tears saying "just look at the back of my head, it's all purple" now i could hardly see the purple, plus isn't it suppose to be crazy hair day...... no it's suppose to be torture the parents day. I'll have to get pictures when they get home, Caleb is going to a friends to torture his parents with the hair spray paint and catlin is still crying.

My Life

As i'm writing this cassie is climbing all over my head and back while strangling and kissing me. I'm used to this as it occurs everyday and i've had 3 other children do the same to me over the past 15 years, just at various stages.... i would hate to have my 15 year old climb on my back and try to strangle and kiss me, but cassie being a year old is still ok. since i've started this post i've had to leave many times. once to get cassie out of the toilet, once to get the dog out of the locked bathroom, once to answer the phone, (tom asking me if was going to be able to make it to the grocery today... WHO CARES) once to get more coffee, once to see what the UH OH was (just cassie dumping a box of cereal) once to start "barney" over and while i was staring barney over cassie jumped up in the computer chair and now i'm just sitting here thinking.... what in the hell was it that i was going to write about. Well since i can't remember, although i'm sure it was something about my annul husband who's name is TOM although i did ask him if he could change his name to RICHARD so i could call him DICK and not feel quite as bad. ok i have no clue where this is going, but i'm going to the grocery for DICK

This is my oldest courtney, i don't know what she is doing or where she is. (looks like a bathroom) She is so frustrating, but i love her with all my heart. She will be learning to drive this summer, so look out if you are on the road. She also set fire to the house recently because there was a birds nest on top of the light outside. This is just one of many things that happen to her on a daily basis.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS

ok, i know how to do myspace and upload pictures and delete pictures, but this is driving me crazy. i have a stupid picture up of myself and i can't get it off. so i am going to leave the computer now before i chuck it out the window if front of me.

My youngest Angel

This is my youngest, Cassie. She is just like the energizer bunny, she keeps going and going and going.
