A nice warm day. Ahhhhhh

5/24/2012

     Well it is Thursday.  Do you know what that means?  Nothing really, just one day closer to the weekend.  We are moving in a couple of days, and I still feel like I have so much to do.  Well to be honest, I do have alot of things to get done.

I have to tell you, I love Seth Meyers.  He was on Live with Kelly this morning.  So so funny.  I just love his laugh.  I thought I loved Anderson Coopers laugh, but I think Seth may have him beat.  Every time I see him on something, I think he is so funny.   Love Seth Meyers! 

The girl had to write a report for D.A.R.E last week.  It was a big deal, as most things are in our family.  At the end of the report she had to add that she would pledge to be violence and drug free.  She didn't add that.  So the morning of the due date for the report, she starts flipping out, that she had forgotten to put the pledge in.     I told her the report looked good, and at the bottom of the page write in your own handwriting your pledge.  Omg, that is crazy ....  It would never be accepted.  Back and fourth we went.  Finally she just add s it like I suggested.   Comes home that day and says it was accepted and it was all ok.  Then yesterday she comes barreling in the door and says her report along with two others were chosen to be read in front of the whole school.  Glad she turned it in that day.  Very proud of her, But ughhhh she makes me crazy!! 

In the news today they said the best sunblock was Walgreens brand spf 50.  The worst brand to stay away from ( if you are wanting sunblock) is Hawaiian Tropic.  Well hello ..... Everyone knows that if you want the golden bronze glow you go for Hawaiin Tropic .  Duh!  

Today is Brothers Day and  dot dot dot doooooot dooooot (Morse Code Day)  Enjoy!!

Thankful tidbit ..... That I just got a small burst of energy!

Until the next time    xo

Headaches stink :(

5/22/2012

Good morning.....
Its a drizzly grey morning.  Which I hate, but when you are packing up a house, you feel alot less guilty for  being in the house.

       Its the kids last week of school.   As much as I don't want them home and bored all summer, it will be nice to not get up and start running like crazy right off the bat.   I was up from about 4 am listening to those loud chirping birds.  I love that my windows were open, but I hate being woke up listening to a bunch of birds conversing. Crazy mommy with a headache had a crazy house this morning.

I was dropping little man off at school this morning, and I see tons of parents going into the school. Hmmmm I'm hoping I didn't forget about something.  I even had pj bottoms on.  I never wear something like that.  I was just running so late I hopped in the car.  Next thing I realize is i'm in my pj bottoms.  My biggest pet peeve!!  So I couldn't go into the school to figure out what was going on, because I was inappropriately dressed.  :(    I'm sure I will get an ear full when he gets out at 11am. 

Had the girl's recital this weekend.  Went really good.  She did wonderful.  I was so proud of her.   Several people came up to me and told me how good she was.   It was a long one though.  I think there was 45 numbers.  Overall it was good!   Both boys were glad they didn't have to go.  So was I .  The whole time I was thinking thank goodness they are not here.  That  would have been a true nightmare.  Someone told me at the one showing there were two parents with two young er children with them.  They said the kids yelled, fought, and kicked their chairs the whole time.  My friend said she turned around and gave them a look a few times.  Then asked the mom to please stop the child from kicking the chair.  Then the mom got offended and snapped some bullshit comment to her.   I mean seriously.  Who are these people that think their children are entitled to do and say what they want.   Like its totally ok that those kids were kicking someones chair.  If for some reason you absolutely cannot find a sitter, then one parent should stay home with the kids, then another parent go to the other showing. Sometimes that is not workable either.  I understand.  Kids should not be allowed to do these things, because the parent doesn't want to upset them or whatever bullshit excuse these parents use.  The parents are supposed to be in charge.  Not the kids.  If the kids think they are, they need to be reminded firmly that they are not!      Afternoon Rant !!

Thankful tidbit......  My kids were not at the recital. 

Crazy mommy is off to finish packing up my house. 

RIP Donna Summer

5/17/2012

Let's start with ....  RIP Donna Summer!  Loved her growing up.  :(  Sad to hear.   I have been running all day.  So tired! 

So Keeping up with the Kardashians is coming back on.   I normally would be excited, but I hate Kim K so much I might just stop watching.  After that bullshit scam of a wedding, I just cannot stomach her.  She tweets pictures of herself all day long.  Ughh  She is such a media hound.  I truly feel she made a mockery of the meaning of marriage.   Love Bruce though!!

How about John Travolta?  Also known as Danny Zucko and Vinny Babarino.   What do you think? Could he really be grabbing and touching all these masseurs?  I think not, if its one cuckoo.  Several people are coming forward though.  Makes me sad!  They claim its a vicious tabloid agenda.  Hopefully!

I'm really having a craving for fried potatoes and onions.   I believe i'm going to start cutting up some potatoes.  Yum yum! 

Its World Hypertension Day!  So..... Do what you need to for hypertension. 

Thankful tidbit ....  That one child is already asleep and its 7:30  

Crazy mommy is out of here!

The hump!

5/16/2012

Happy Hump Day!   Just got home from the grocery store.  I had several things in my bag that wasn't mine.  I either blacked out and just started putting things in, or the lady in front of me is missing some groceries.  That happened to me a few  weeks ago.   Got home and was missing  some hamburger, buns, and a few other things.  Very frustrating! 

The girl has recital rehearsal tonight.  It is such a hassle.  I am looking forward to her recital, I heard they put on a good one.  Hopefully.   Over the years there has been some good ones and some painful to watch ones.    Here's hoping!

So I had this dream last night that I was at some dinner thing with my boys, and bf's cousin.  I was checking little mans ears at the dinner to make sure they were clean and I found a baby fried shrimp in his ear.  As crazy as that sounds, I didn't even seem crazy shocked that I had found that.  I said to him ( in the dream) if I find a shrimp in your other ear you are going to be in trouble.  WTF?  Well I didn't find a shrimp, I found some left over chicken strips.  I woke up laughing my ass off.  So funny. ( kind of) 

I heard today that if your child has the Justin Bieber haircut they could get a lazy eye.  From not using that eye enough.  Whew...I now have more to go on besides just saying its an outdated haircut.  My opinion!  Little man just said this morning he didn't want to get a haircut, he wanted it to grow out.  I now can tell him he may get a lazy eye.  ;)

Its National Sea Monkey Day!!   A big salute to all those Sea Monkey's.   Looking good!!

Thankful tidbit .     The week is half over!

Crazy mommy is off to her crazy life!

:)

5/14/2012

Happy post Mothers Day!   Hope it was happy for everyone. 

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the top girl scout cookie of them all?  Thin Mint!  Go figure.  I read today that was this years to seller.  Is anyone surprised?  I'm not.  The Samoa came in second.  Which I thought it could have been that or the Peanut Butter sandwich cookie.  I have a story about the Samoa cookie.  A couple of years ago the girl was in girl scouts.  They had a Mothers day tea.  Everyone had to bring a cake.  So I thought and thought. I finally decided we would make a girl scout cookie cake.  We decided on the Samoa.  So I researched the cookie to see what it all was made of.  We made a vanilla bundt cake, frosted it with chocolate, toasted coconut, sprinkled it across the  top, then drizzled chocolate or whatever across the top.   Omg it looked just like the cookie. I was proud as hell.  The next day we go to the tea with all the cakes.  I even think the girl was getting a badge for this.  We get there and I go sit the cake down, I almost passed out.  There were only maybe five (at the most) homemade cakes.  All friggin store bought cakes. This was the whole city of girl scouts, not just our troop.   I was beside myself. I almost left.   Then they were having a lottery and a cake switch.  I ended up leaving with a day old, never picked up birthday cake from a grocery store.  I mean it was for a badge.  How do you justify that.  I will never forget that day.   I tried too get mine back, but it was the first to go.  No shit. 

For all those interested 7/11 is now going to be offering diet slurpee's.  For your slim days, remember the diet slurpee its made with Splenda.  Good luck to 7/11 on their new diet adventure.  I have to be honest if i'm going to get a slurpee it is sure not going to be diet. Hmmmm actually that sounds pretty good right now.  Yum!

Its national chicken dance day.  Get to dancin....

Thankful tidbit.    That there isn't a 7/11 real close.   Lol

Crazy mommy is off to sleep.  Xo

Bring on Friday

5/10/2012

Well...... Here we are another thursday has come and gone.  I had so many things I wanted to get done today, then little man got removed from school at 10:00am.  So needless to say I didn't get everything done that I wanted.  I'm not sure whats going on with him.  He had started doing pretty well.  Then he took a quick slippery ride down to bad ville.   One step forward three big steps back.  Frustrating. 

So has anyone seen the front page of the Time magazine?  A woman with her boob out, breastfeeding her three year old son, who is standing on a chair to reach the boob.  Omg!  I was actually speechless.  I just dont understand why women want to breastfeed that long.  I personally feel it's borderline gross at that point.  Maybe because breastfeeding did not go well or work out for me.  Ummmm actually no I would never ever breastfeed that long.  Creepy! 

So had to take the middle one to the dr this morning.  He was having some allergy issues.  He also has been complaining alot and crying about his back and neck hurting.  I have felt bad and been trying to figure out what is hurting him.  The doctor informed us that he has grown 3 1/2 inches since December 15, and gained no weight.  So basically it is growing pains. He is stretched to the max right now.  Even his elbows are throbbing.  I felt bad for him.  He is struggling with growing pains and the girl is struggling with her head gear for her braces.  I mean you would have thought  she was the only one that ever has had to deal with this.  She did inform me that I don't know what it's like, because I did not have braces.  Well she is wrong!  Kind of.  When my cousin and I were in 4th and 5th grade we would get paper clips, open them up and straighten them out.  Then we would put them across our teeth like a retainer.  WTF....i know.  I believe I even had my retainer ( paper clip) in for a school picture.  They didn't always feel good.  So I do know that pain.  Sort of!  As I got older , dentist s would say ..... Oh did you ever have braces or a retainer?  Ummmm kind of.  I really wanted braces as a kid.  I always had nice straight teeth.  Even straighter after my years of retainer s.  

Thankful tidbit.  That it is National Clean Your Room Day.  Kept the kiddos busy tonight!  Woop woop

Good night.  Crazy mommy is zzzzzz

Tired

5/8/2012

Long day.  Little man had a muffins with mom breakfast today at 7:30.  So we had to get moving a little earlier today.  The line for muffins was crazy.  I almost just skipped it, but I was starving at that point.  I was also waiting for the terrential downpour to stop.  Left there went home did some laundry. Then went to the mall returned a bunch of things then picked little man up.  Who had a horrible day.  Has been pretty consistant with the bad days.  Then took him to religion.   I was so tired, and I was cozy in the recliner.  Next thing I know I had been asleep for almost 35 minutes.  Woke up and my mouth was open, drool running out.  I was embarrassed.  Sister Mary  said we tried to be as quiet as we could. 

Then the girl had a choir concert, I sat next to an over zealous grandpa.  I thought I'm here alone no other kids I'm going to relax for a half hour.  Nope!  This grandpa sits next to me and wants to chat.  Sits down and says, who are you, who you watching, where is she at, ughhhh he quieted down after that.  Thank goodness. 
We then had to leave halfway through, the girl had musical theater.  While I was sitting there I get an email, letting everyone know about the cub scout awards night.  Are you kidding me??  They just don't get it. 

(Friday morning)   Little man had a horrible stomach ache last night.  Hope it gets better today.  He was  really not feeling well.  Whined and moaned most of the night.

Choo Choo  It's National Train Day!  All aboard

Thankful tidbit ......  That little man might want to take a nap today .   ;)

Moody Monday

5/7/2012

It's been a long few days.   The middle boy had 1st communion practice on friday night.  Then the Kentucky Derby was Saturday night.  Then 1st communion on Sunday.  Busy busy weekend. 

We get to the practice on Friday night, I'm hoping we are going to blast through this thing.  It's moving slow, very very slow.  Then the kids were lighting their candle for practice.  All of a sudden this little girl in front of us drops a drop of wax on her finger.  A complete halt.  Ughhhhh   The priest was upset with the nun.  He said she didn't make the candle holders right.  She said oh yes I did make them right.  In the meantime the girl cried and cried and cried.  I was over her.  Bigtime.  I finally said here is a wet wipe, wrap it around her finger.  The mom said or she can stop being a drama queen.  I said , well thats what I was thinking but..... Finally it gets over.  Then the communion went well on Sunday.  I am so proud of him.  He really took it all very serious.  He said, it was a long road to get here but he made it.  He meant it too. 

The girl had to go to the orthodontist today.  It's always a huge debate over what color bands should she get.  Of course I know whatever I say don't get, she will.  I held strong and said it doesn't matter, it's up to you.  She ended up getting pink.  Which I was happy about.  She threatened neon green.  I was so hoping that would not happen.  Wheww    While I was waiting for her this big Asian family comes in.  Maybe 3 kids, a mom, and a helper or someone.  You know what I hate????  I hate when people start talking in a different language.  It is really uncomfortable.  It doesn't matter what they are saying, you think it's about you.  I started thinking I had something on my face, or toilet paper on my shoe, everything comes to mind.  I was so self conscious.  The last time I was there, a couple of women were speaking Arabic.  I was nervous then too.  However they did end up talking to me in English a little.  Took some pressure off.  I wish I spoke another language fluently.  I would talk to myself the whole time I was sitting there.  I only know about six words in  German and ten numbers.   That's not going to get me far.  I can only say Mrs. Smith and thank you  sooooo many times in German before I look a little off. 

Tomorrow is no socks day.  Hope it's warm enough.  ;)  

Thankful tidbit ....... That one May weekend is over! 

I'm outta here!   Xo

Thirsty Thursday

5/3/2012

Its thirsty thursday.  I feel like I just cannot wet my whistle enough.   I'm so thirsty today. 

The girl says tonight how she can't wait for Summer vacation.  I'm really like why?  All these kids have done all week is argue and bicker the minute they walk in the door from school.  After they are done arguing, then they are bored.  I get so tired of hearing ........  I'm bored! There is nothing to do.  Tonight I said , I got some things you can do.  Start cleaning.  Ughhhhh  OMG.  Clean?  Yep!!!!    I really dread summer vacation. 

So let's discuss this lady in the news that took her very young and fair skinned as hell daughter tanning.  Hmmmm I admit as fair skinned as she was she probably could have gotten a contact burn from another room.   Joking!   How about that mother?  Are you serious?  I almost vomited looking at her.  That nose was swelled up and ready to burst .  It looked like she had a leather mitt over her face.  Then she says as serious as can be, I think people are blowing this out of proportion.  Really burnt marshmallow?  I bet her insides are like ashes.. That's right she is an ashhole.   Madness. 

I was out mowing the grass tonight.  Well half of the grass.  This little boy comes by.  Not little , probably  junior high age .  He is on his skate board.  We had new roads put in last fall or whenever.  His skateboard goes off the road a little, and snaps that skate board as hard as can be right into his privates.  I was like a wild person out there.  I didn't know whether to laugh hysterically, ignore it, or help him.  I also didn't want to embarrass him.  Honest to goodness, I was fighting the laughter so hard.  He is laying on the ground crying.  I felt sooooo bad .  I asked him if he was alright . He kinda groans..... Then says, yea  I'm ok.  I asked him if he wanted some ice.  He declined!  I bet he is icing those down tonight.  Poor kid.  It's a busy street.  There is always action out there. 

It's lumpy rug day.  Don't straighten your rugs up till tomorrow.  ;)   Tomorrow is bird day.  Ughhhh  There will be no celebrating for me.  After the way these crows have carried on the last few morning s.  I thought they were in heat or killing each other.  Way to loud!

Thankful tidbit ......... Bedtime!

May Day!!

5/1/2012


Happy May Day.  Been a busy morning already!  I had to go to the doctor for this cough I have.  Then i took the girl to get a immunization.  UGHHH  She was already freaking out last night.  I told her to chill out. It was only one small prick!   She was shaking, nervous, teary eyed all morning.  I was over it!  She was begging to stay home from school  even before we got to the doctor.  I told her nope your nervous nelly butt is going back to school.  We get to place for the immunization, and I look at the slip  and I see she is in need of FOUR shots .....NOT ONE!   UT OH.   This is not going to be good.  I sign in, and keep it to myself.  We get in the room and she says why are all those needles out?  I just calmly shrug and quickly look away.  So I then confess and tell her she is getting more.  Two I tell her.  Still a lie.  UGHHH   Finally the very stone faced nurse blurts it out.  Honey , you are getting two in each arm. You will be fine.  OK .  Lets roll!  She ended up doing pretty well.  Got a free frosty out of it.  I was jealous! 


The girl and  I are on  our way home from the doctor and we come to the railroad tracks.  She says OMG  look at that person?  What is he doing?  I look over and I swear to goodness when I say this.  He had a stick over his shoulder with a stuffed material tied to the end of the stick.  I think we just saw a legitimate hobo!  Tattered shirt, torn up boots , scruffy beard  and a stick with a stuffed bandanna tied to it!  Craziest thing I had seen since little man's undaroo incident.  Which was two days ago.  Anyway I so wanted to take a picture.   Then the  girl says what is legitimate mean and what is a hobo?  

I am hearing that the Titanic 2 is set or is aiming to set sail in 2016.  Are we serious with this?   Hasn't that ship sailed?  Or at least tried?  I get it, It should be respected but let it rest in peace.  Who is signing up for this trip?  I am sure thousands of people will.  I don't know, I feel it's a bit jinxed.  Anyway, Happy Sailing!! 

I am at the library and I over hear this lady say look out my grandson just got out of preschool.  he comes running by.  He settles quickly.  The grandmother turns to me and says.  He has some energy to burn today.  I respond with ,  Oh yea?  Because I really don't care.  He actually was pretty calm.  Calmer than my kids would probably be.  So she obviously doesn't take the hint that I do not care and says ., you know we thought  he would test off the charts , and the preschool teacher says he is struggling.  Ahhh  I get it.  She is looking for someone to tell her what she wants to hear.  Sometimes I might be that person, but today....... I  respond with , Well you know we all think our kids are smarter than they are.  I think parents and grandparents are the most blind  sometimes.  Not her little Billy.  Super smart.  He could draw the perfect shape before his friends.  Then I start to feel bad.  I say well maybe the teacher just doesn't appreciate  or see what he is capable of.  She agreed.  Whew.  He seemed like a sweet little boy, but he has alot to live up too.  Look out Billy, grandma thinks you are a genius. 


 It is save a Rhino Day.  Keep your eyes open, if you happen to see a Rhino tooling around    Save It!! 


Thankful tidbit    .....  No more immunizations for awhile!

Sunday funday not.

4/29/2012

Well the weekend is almost over, and I am tickled.  I have been sick, with bronchitis.  Today was crazy. The girl was at a sleepover till noon today. Then had to take the middle one to a retreat at church for 1st communion.  Then rush home get the kids dinner.  Then take the middle one back to religion class at 6.  Was his last class before he makes his 1st communion next week.  When he came out tonight after it was over, he said awee I'm going to miss  religion.   He can be so sweet. 

So Little man has had alot of med changes the last few months.  The latest one he is on makes him eat like crazy.  Not just want to eat , he is obsessed.  Like crazy obsessed.   He has gained like 15 pounds in a month and a half.  I know!   Needless to say he is and has outgrown so many clothes quickly.  Including his underwear.  He has also gotten his junk back in his trunk.  Big ole booty.  So he is obsessed with WWE wrestling. Everyday he is someone different.  Well today I guess he choose to be someone that wears the little bikini wrestling bottoms.  I was kind of laying down, because I am sick.  He had been playing in his room, then I hear the door bell.  I'm all fuzzy, get up come down stairs and he is talking to the man in the neighborhood that delivers the newsletter.  OMG and he is in his itsy bitsy teenie weenie (no pun intended) bikinis from two years ago. When he was 20 pounds lighter.  And I swear when I say this, it looked like he had a sock stuffed in his private area.  I almost vomited.  I looked a hot mess after basically being in bed for 24 hours.  This man had to think we were part of the clown crew.  I was so embarrassed.  He was out on the porch totally chatting it up with this 70 year old man.  Bulging every where in those undies.  I said don't you ever answer the door in your underwear, let alone those bikinis.   He said like that man has never seen someone in their undies.  I'm sure he hasn't seen a sight like that before. 

Today is National Shrimp Scampi Day.  If you are in to that...... Get cookin.   Tomorrow is appointnent day in cleveland.  Ughhhh  Not feeling it . 

Thankful tidbit ...... Cough suppressant

Until the next crazy time    xo

Calgon take me away

4/25/2012

Wow!!  What a day.  Little man had another appointment in Cleveland this morning .  So we head out about 8:00.  Get on the road, and he is chatting up a strom.  Asking question after question.  If I don't like yellow cars , then does that mean I don't like lemons?  Because he knows I like lemons. They both are yellow.   Can he marry me when he gets older?  He knows the answer is no, but maybe I will change my mind, he says.  Of all the WWE wrestlers who would I like to watch fight?  Then would I want to marry them ?  On and on!!!!!  So I get about 3/4 of the way there, and I get a phone call.  It's the doctors office that we are headed to.  Some very snotty lady says to me , I am just confirming that you know your appt was canceled today.  Ummmm  no I'm almost there.  Well something to do with he had been seeing a psychatrist already in the Cleveland Clinic family, and you can't see two, or ask for a second opinion in the same hospital family .   I flipped my lid.  I said I made this appt last December.  December 13 2011 to be exact.  My son had to see another psych because he was hospitalized and in need of one till we got in to our April appt.  So then she was going to call the dr to see what he can do.  What he can do is see us when we get there in about 20 minutes.  That is what I told her .  I also said I'm on my way you better figure it out, because I DO have an app.  See you soon.  Click!  She calls back says we will see a nurse practioner. I figure whatever , I'm on my way.  As I get there word had obviously gotten out that I was heated.  Needless to say alot of ass kissing.  The appt was in a very old area of the CC.  After we are in the office with the nurse, little man blurts out ......  I'm not sure how you work in this dump.  It stinks and it's dirty.  I go in the bathroom  in the waiting area, and there is a bath tub in there.  Obviously used to be a hospital room or something.  Well this bathtub was so nasty.  It was filled with scum and dirt.  I almost vomited! 

So we leave get home an hour later, rest for about 25 minutes.  Then head to his school for an IEP meeting.  Me and the main teacher were there.  We were waiting for a representative from the other school district.  Waited 45 minutes.  Didn't show!   Ughhhhh 

We leave and are heading back home and little man says .......  Mommy do you like red cars?   Ahhhhhhh   

Thankful tidbit .....   That I am alone in my room.  ;)

Until the next crazy time    xo

Sooo tired.

4/24/2012

The girl is at musical theater, and the boys and I are in the car.  It is not going well.  The middle one almost wouldn't even come.  Little man wants to get out and play in the parking lot .   I just want them both to stop arguing with each other about how horrible it is to be here for 45 minutes.    Just hush!!!!!!  To top things off there are 4 goofball girls that are playing tag outside the main door in about a 8 ft area.  Seriously ??  These girls are on my last nerve.  I was aggravated with  their very goofy selves last week.  The whole 45 minutes I was here they were singing some stupid song.  Some of it was in Spanish.   They kept saying the same three or four spanish words.  The one girl was taping them on her phone.  They are screaming and yelling.   I know I need a chill pill, but where are the moms?  The middle one said they are not even cute.  Lol   Now they are climbing on the glass window sills.   Ok.  I'm done!  Sorry.  Things could be worse, they could be drinking hand sanitizer like the tweens are doing in California. 

Little man just fell asleep!  Thank goodness.  He yelled scootchie out the window about 50 times.  Not sure what he meant, but I'm sure it was supposed to rhyme with "scootchie. "

I got my weekly email today from the cub scouts.  Wanting to know if I would be willing to come and help set up for a end of the year party .  Ummmm Nope.  My son is not a cub scout and has never been.  Thanks for asking. 

I totally started a rumor today.  I told my mom I read a magazine today that said Jessica Simpson had her baby, it was a girl, and named it Maxi.   A couple of hours later, I see on twitter, that she can't wait to have her baby.  WTH?  I said I swear I read that, but as crazy as I've been......Who knows.  I even got snippy with a lady while I was looking at the mag.  Some lady says ohhhh you are holding the line up by reading that trash mag.  I said  , well I was wondering what Jessica Simpson named her baby.   She said , oh yea real important stuff.  I snap back,  It is to me.  Who gives a shit.  It didn't effect her.  I had scooted over to the side.     Here the magazine didn't seem to have it right, or they were saying that is how it is going to be.   I even liked the name Maxi.  Whatever!  

Thankful tidbit ...... Musical theater is over.

Crazy mommy is heading home.  Xo

Moody Monday

4/23/2012

Ahhhhhh..... Its been a few days.   I definatly did not want to get up today.  I really hate mondays. I like them because the kids are headed back to school , but mondays also mean an hour drive for appointments.  Things were pretty rushed this morning.  I get myself and little man in the car, head down the street and realize I forgot his folder with his medical info. Turn around head back.  Back on the road, and I realize I forgot to leave my daughter her house key.   Turn around again, get home and realize I did leave it.    Then it was super duper windy today.   I was all over the road.  Just  a long monday morning.  The afternoon was better, except for little man got a  kazoo from my mom.  So it was a little loud.  All I could think about was Bobby losing his kazoo on Brady Bunch.  He blamed Cindy, and Tiger the dog did it.  Anyone remember this?   I really loved me some Brady Bunch.   Every time my kids are playing with the ball, I always tell them ....... Mom  always says don't play ball in the house.  Always a lesson to be learned on that show.  

I want all the ladies to keep their chin up on this one.  I heard the percentage of women getting chin implants is on the rise.  This is due to the way ladies look on their phone/skype and their computer chatting.  Ladies are not finding them selves very attractive while chatting.  So they are running out and getting an implant to hopefully make their selves look better.  You can't really be sure though.  What if that is not the answer.  Maybe you just don't look good on camera.  Hmmmm maybe the chin implant is not the answer.

So the girl comes home today and needs three scientific questions that she can ask some big scientist this week at school, while they are skyping him.  Let me think.  I said maybe you can ask him ...... Hmmmm....let me see.   I give up.  Go ask papa, I tell her. I will help the middle one with spelling.  I'm so not good at homework anymore.  Lets be honest, I was never good at homework.  Needless to say they got some good brainy questions. 

It's National Zucchini Day.  They say they choose this day, because people are not sick of zucchini yet.  Good idea.  

Thankful tidbit ..... Sleep time is around the corner.

Chilly but sunny!!!!

4/18/2012

Good morning.   A little chilly, but at least the sun is out.   The girl had Spring pictures this morning.  I asked her probably three times last night to get her clothes together.  It didn't happen.  So this morning was pretty crazy.  Every thing she wanted she couldn't find.  Almost every piece of clothing is clean.  It started out being my fault, with one quick look , she actually straightened up.  Little man was freaking out, because he thought he was going to be tardy.  So he was following me around footstep to footstep.   In the mean time the middle one had his shirt on inside out.  Ughhhh   I'm so glad spring break is over, and school is back in.   

How about this lady in the news was getting married, instead of working out the old fashion way .......  She decided to get a feeding tube to lose weight.  Are you friggin kidding me?  The only downfall  they said  is you have bad breath and severe constipation.   Maybe just curb your eating and work out a little.  What is this world coming too? 
As I'm typing this I got an email from weight watchers.  There you go bridezilla's try WW.   Not a feeding tube!  Madness!!

There was a driving instructor in my bf's city that was arrested for drunk driving while teaching children to drive.  Hmmmmm.  What's wrong with this picture?  Drops the kids off at their house or whatever, then got pulled over for being drunk.  Supposed to be teaching the kids what NOT to do.   What are thinking when you go out for a liquid lunch knowing you have to teach driving school in the afternoon?  I guess not thinking.  I would have that persons head on a platter.  Again Madness!

So get your ball s out. (Calm down)   It's  National Jugglers Day.  That is honestly one thing I have always wanted to do.  

I'm off, have a meeting at the school.  Another meeting.  This one is at the middle ones school.  I forgot to tell him.  If he sees me there and he didn't know .... He will be super nervous!   Awee

Thankful tidbit .......  35 minutes of me time this morning  

Until the next time -  Crazy Mommy  xo

Bring on the weather.... :)

4/16/2012

Gorgeous day!!  Loving the great weather!  I was just sitting outside in a parking lot, while the middle one was at religion.  I started thinking how quick it all goes.  I swear it feels like I just gave birth to him. Now he is getting ready to make his first communion in three weeks.  He is such a good boy with a soft  heart.   We get home tonight and he looks up at me and he has tears in his eyes and says I feel sorry for people that are blind.   I said yea, it would be hard. He said yep mommy,  I really respect blind people!  He is such a sweetie.  ( this was started sunday)

The girl went to see Titanic 3d this weekend with my dad.  It was the first time she had ever seen the Titanic.  She is in love with the movie.   I was so jealous. I wanted to go also.  Maybe next weekend. 

So I go to the chiropractor this morning, little man is with me.  There is a lady there that helps out part time.  As she is asking me the questions about what is wrong, he blurts out.........  She sure isn't the prettiest lady that works here.  Ughhhh  Second week in a row he has said something about that lady.   To be honest, she isn't very nice or pretty.  I did explain to him that not everyone is as pretty as his mom.  He is going to have to except it.   Lol  

So my neighbor guy is getting driveway laid today.  He is an older man.  He and his neighbor are both out there all morning.  It is the funniest thing.  Everytime these guys measure something or line something up, he and his co hort get up and go over and re measure and check it all out.  These guys doing this work have got to be like WTF?    When I got home from the chiropractor, he waved to me.  I yelled over , are you keeping those guys in line over there?  He says yep!  The worker guy looks at me , like shut the hell up.  Shakes his head and walks away.  

Today is the first day of Spring when the kids can where shorts, capris, etc.....  The middle one walks by the girls room, and she blurts out.......  You are not allowed to wear shorts.  I said yes you can.   No you can't, she responds.  After  a half hour of back and forth, I call the school.   Yep today is the day you are allowed.  I let her know.  She snaps back with , well how was I suppose to know.   Ughhhhh  Monday mornings are tough.  :(   the middle one was happy , he was right and she was wrong.    So then an argument started about that. 

Thankful tidbit  ...........  Spring break is over!

I'm outta here!   CM   xo

PS.    Today is National Librarian Day!  Head to the library to visit your favorite librarian.   I would go to the library, but I have too many things over due. 

 

Lazy Saturday

4/13/2012  ~    4/14/2012

Friday the 13th.  Well do you believe all the hoopla about this day?  Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.  Just when I think things aren't weird or different on this day,  something totally crazy will happen and make me rethink all my sanity.  

Well the middle kid got home and the girl left at the same time.  I love Spring Break!  Just wish little man was headed to a sleepover.  Lol

It's now 4/14/2012 ......    I fell asleep last night while typing this.  Thats what happens when you try to blog in bed.   After I dozed off last night, I woke up to the start of Silence of the Lambs.  Now that is a blast from the past.  I pretty much watched it all. Then was scared out of my mind.  I hate and always have hated scary movies.  There is something with Silence of the Lambs  that I just can't turn it off.  Maybe it's Anthony Hopkins.  Love him!!  The bf loves scary movies.   All of them, everyone every made.  Last week Michael Myers was on.  I was scared to death.  I took a melatonin just to go to sleep and not wake up.  I've always been a scardy cat. 

Might take the kids to the 3 Stooges movie.  Not my style either, But the kiddos will like it.  I would like to go see Titanic 3d.  I know that ship has sailed. However,  I did hear it was amazing in 3d.  We'll see, I really feel like laying on the couch all day.  ;) 

Is it bad to want to make cupcakes at 7:30 in the morning?  I think that sounds like a delicious breakfast.  Not healthy, but delicious.    I'm sure I will settle for oatmeal.  That does sound good as well.  Little man asked me a yesterday , if I was ever going to be that mom that cooks breakfast for her kids?  Ummmm  No.  WTH?  The girl always eats breakfast at school.  The middle one always eats cereal, with an occasional toast breakfast.  Little man just eats due to his meds. He gets up early and eats different things.  So who would I be cooking for ?  Myself?  I do cook pancakes etc on the weekends.  So I guess I'm sticking with the no, I will probably not be the mom that cooks breakfast for her kids.  :(    Again no MOY award!   

Today is Stop and look at the sky day.   It's a very grey view, however take the time.

Thankful tidbit .......  There is no eggs for cupcakes. 

Until the next time ~   CM

Another day

4/12/2012

Wheeww.... Wednesday was truly a struggle to get through.  I did have all three of my kids under the same roof last night.  However the girl was out playing most of the day.  Then this morning I got a call for the middle one to go play with his favorite cousin. The one he stayed with earlier in the week.  Then my dad called to get him.  He is going straight from there to my dads for the night.  Then the girl gets jealous, thinking she hasn't done much this week.  So she works it out that she will go to my dads when he drops off the middle one.  Then have my dad take her to her friends on saturday for the night.  I know.   It's hard to keep up.  I got dizzy typing it. 

I read in the news today about the "boyzilian".  Which is equal to the woman's brazilian bikini wax.   Now I will be honest, I wouldn't totally rule out a brazilian.  However, I'm not planning one either.  I sure don't want to think about a woman getting one, I'm not even trying to picture it.  So I sure don't want to picture a man getting this done.  It said this is not only popular in the gay world, straight men are getting it done as well.  Yuk! 

This may blow you away ........ Today is Big Wind Day, and it's not even windy.  I saw this day coming for over a week.  I was hoping with all my being that it would be windy as hell.  :(   However it is National Grilled Cheese Day.  In honor of this day, I made myself a delicious grilled cheese and tomato sandwich.  Yum yum. 

So who loves Anderson Cooper?  I do.  I think he is funny, smart and handsome.  He has the most infectious laugh.  Omg  If you have the chance download  Anderson cooper s laugh.   Love It!!!!  On the radio they were playing all these clips of his laughter.  I actually had the biggest smile and was laughing my butt off listening to him.

The girl is wanting my to play Scrabble.  Seriousl  Does she not know that I play Words with Friends all day long.  I get beat all day, but I play.  The worst thing is that I play against little man's teacher.   Beat, beat and beat.  Ughhh   Now I have age requirements.  You have to be under 12 to play me.  Even then things are shaky!!   

Thankful tidbit ......  Grilled cheese day.  Love!

Crazy mommy is heading out into the sunshine.  Xo

Another sleepover?

4/10/2012

Well it's National Sibling Day .......  Uhhhh not in this house.  The boys have fought all day.  Nothing different though.  They always pick at each other, tease , and fight.  The middle guy got home at about 6:40am.  (  I know...   Don't ask!)   By 7:00 am the boys were into an argument over what cereal there was in the cupboard.  Really?  Because one of you doesn't even eat cereal and sure as shit that was the one starting the argument.  The girl was supposed to be picked up today from her sleep over @ 9:45.  She had a chiropractor app.  I get a call of course, asking if she can stay till three to help her friend babysit.   Fine, I will pick you up at 4, I tell her.  I get there to get her, she gets in the car and says ........  Can I go to another friends house?  Wth?  You have been in the car for 10 seconds.   I'm not even kidding 10 seconds is probably pushing it.  I bet it was 7 seconds.   I said for what to play?  Then she is correcting me.  Mom!  We don't say play.  I'm like listen this isn't the Dork Diaries.  Mom ,  that was on Diary of a  Wimpy Kid.  Ughhh  I can't seem to get it right.  Any way she is off to spend the night again.   I guess thats what spring break is for.   :)   

All I heard today was that little man wanted crabby patties ( hamburger s)  for dinner.  So I whip up some crabby patties, and he decides he is allergic to them.  I informed him that everyone who is allergic to crabby patties is also allergic to ice cream.  Since we just bought some ice cream, that would be a true shame if he were allergic to crabby patties.  Well he decided he could probably get  12 bites of CP down.  Whew!  Then he said can we have CP tomorrow?  Ummmm  NO! 

Did you all see the person I believe it was  in Florida, that was giving butt injections?  I have always said if I could get butt implants I would.  Still feel that way, well until today that is.  This person was injecting all sorts of things into these ladies' butts.  She put fat from animals, food, culk, and even cement.   Why you ask???? Because it was the cheaper route to take.  Seriously?  Now this gives a new meaning to junk in the trunk! 

Thankful tidbit .....  That there is ice cream in the house!  ;)

I'm outta here!    CM   xo

Sleep overs rock!

4/9/2012

Ahhhh  little man is back to school today.  It is for only 3 hours a day , but still!  Ahhhh  The middle guy went to his cousins house this morning, I guess he is coming home tomorrow morning.  Then I fell asleep took a quick nap. When I woke up the girl had all kinds of options for her.  I said why dont we do something today? She responded with,   well we see each other alot.... So I was thinking I would hang out with some friends.   Ummmm ok!   So it was just little man and myself.  He told me I was pretty much a boring person.  Thanks.  I said what would you want me do that is not so boring.  He said  dancing for one thing. You should dance more often.  Lol   Ok I will get right on that. 

How about the families of the Titanic were going on a remembrance memorial cruise, when high winds picked up.  They ended up canceling the trip.  Good call.  I mean these people have to be a little gun shy anyway.  If I felt my hair blow in the slightest bit, I would be heading for the hills.  We don't need a sequel ! 

Just an FYI , the cub scout meet ing was canceled for this week.  Yep another email. I even got a response last week, that they would remove us from the list.  If I keep getting them, I'm going to call them and ask where our fire and knot tie ing badges are?  And when am I getting my Mom of the Year award for running the great camp out this year.   That will get them moving and maybe we will even get an award out of it. 

Well with two kids at sleep overs, and the other is sleeping, I think I am heading to bed to catch up on my reading!!

Thankful tidbit .......  Sleep overs!

Until the next crazy time -  CM

Happy Easter!!

4/8/2012

Happy Easter.  I have been having a few problems with my blog site, I tried to publish a blog on friday and saturday and both wouldn't go through.  Here's hoping this one does.   Fingers crossed!!

So today is Easter.  My kids are so excited.  They are thrilled that their Lenten sacrifices have come to an end.  The girl had given up her ipod.  I honestly believe she never touched it , or anyone else's. She is excited to get it back.  The middle one gave up bubble gum.  Two years in a row he has given this up.  It is a huge deal for him.   He loves his gum.  He can't wait  to start chomping and blow some bubbles.  Little man gave up ice cream.  Didn't go so well.    I am glad my kids  take their sacrifices seriously.  Well the older two.   They really feel it is important after what Jesus sacrificed for us.  It's amazing to watch and listen to kids talk about religion and what they believe.  To see the strength of their beliefs is touching.  Little man is fired up.  He and Sister Mary made a whole scene for Easter weekend.  He was excited to come home today to check his scene to see if Jesus was still in the  tomb.   Nope!  He has risen!!!!! 

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter! 

Crazy mommy is off to hop down the bunny trail...

Come on Friday.......

4/3/2012

Good afternoon, and it's been a sunny afternoon. Which makes things so much better!  So almost two years ago my middle guy thinks he wants to join Boy Scouts.  We go to the meeting, listen to what they have to say, get assigned to a group, give them my email, they give us a little box with a kit for a Soap Box Derby cart, popcorn selling info etc.......
After I get home and start realizing ummmm maybe this is going to be a little much.  First of all that Soap Box Derby kit was crazy.  I had no idea where to start, you needed tools, I just couldn't get it. Then there was going to be a big camp out.  Ummmm no.  I talk to my middle guy and ask him if this is really what he wants to do?  He says you know I was thinking , you don't really like camping etc....so I better not do it.  Well I was thrilled.  I did explain that me not liking camping doesn't have anything to do with it.  Deep down I was jumping for joy.  So we decide NO on Boy Scouts.  About a week later I get an email on when our Thunder Bear group was going to meet.  ( I'm making up the Thunder Bear name)  I respond to the email, thanks for the info but he is NOT going to do Boy Scouts.  Yesterday, I get an email about some Thunder Bear meeting.   Are you kidding me?  I have been getting emails every two weeks for almost two years.  I have emailed those looney bins probably 20 different times, confirming that my son went to one meeting and never came back.  Thank goodness he didn't go to the great camp out, they think he has been the perfect Boy Scout, and has never even showed his face since the informational meeting.  Ughhhhhh  Get it together Boy of America!!  

The girl had her last JO vb tournament this past weekend.  She played great! Looked better and better every week.  I'm so proud of my little mama.  Even though they are long weekends ..... I am going to miss it.  You start knowing the parents, the kids, alot of bonding goes on.  Then it is over, you feel a little hole of emptiness from it.  We did take the cooper medal this past weekend.  Yep I said it!   COPPER!  Kind of silly, but we got a medal title .  Never really got a medal......  Just a title! 

It's National Tweed Day.  Don't you think they have that day in November....when wearing Tweed is in style.  We are a few weeks away from wearing white pants or shorts.  I go busting out in my tweed s  and people are looking at me, like get over it.  Winter is gone!  So I suggest a skip on this one! 

Thankful tidbit ......   Sunny days!   :)

I'm outta here!      Crazy mommy xo

Support Autism!!!!!

4/2/2012

Hello, hello, hello........ It's Autism Awareness Month.  Today is light it up blue, for Autism awareness. Hopefully more and more people can become aware of this disease and what it does to individuals and families.  It is  life long issues and changes.  Just when you think you may have your child , meds, IEP's figured out...... It changes.  It's difficult on everyone in the family,  especially siblings that don't always get it.  They have to sacrifice alot because of their sibling. There are things we cannot do or places we cannot go.  It is just too much of an overload for that sensory overloaded child.  My other two children have to give up and sacrifice things for little man.  It's hard, because as much as they love him....... They can hate him just as quick.  It's only because they don't always understand.  My heart breaks for my child with the disease, and for my children without.   We have a long tough life ahead of us.  Thank goodness I have the strongest extended support group.  My parents are amazing.  They are the only ones that can really handle little man sometimes.  I appreciate everything they do to help and support.  Sometimes the support is just a phone call, a letter in the mail, a look , or keeping him for a few hours, a night, or a weekend.  It's difficult for them as well.  Thats where my strength starts, from them! Thank you mom and dad for believing in me.  When I think I don't have it in me, you make me believe that I do.   My extended family is also fabulous......  My aunts are so supportive and offer so much love.  I know lately little man consumes me, and our family conversations.  It doesn't matter!  They sit and listen and cry with me,  thanks to them as well.  To my fly girls that listen and get it!  Thanks.  I have not been a good friend lately, but your support is appreciated.   I have a boyfriend that has no kids.  For him to be in a relationship with a girl that has 3, let alone one with alot of major issues, is huge! It's difficult for him to understand sometimes what to do .  His support and love gets me through certain days.  Xo
I learned quickly that if you don't defend and advocate for your child, nobody will! They will be left behind and left out.  I know my defense for my child will never end.  I will fight for him and his disease until I feel I don't have too.  I will also fight to help my other children understand the disease more and more, and make them aware of disabilities on a daily basis. 

Thankful tidbit..... I am thankful for little man, without him I would probably never know how strong and persistant I could be. 

Until next time .....  Crazy mommy  xo

Happy hump day? I think not !!

3/28/2012

It's been a long hump day.....and it's only 5:30.   Little man struggled at school today, was removed from his lengthy day of three hours. Only got an hour and half in.    I thought I would pop my top.   It's crazy, some days I feel like I can take on the world.  Other days I feel like why bother.  I do come to  come to my senses after my mini breakdowns.  He can't help alot of his problems, it is my job to bother.  
Problem number 2....... The playstation 3 is not working.    This is not good.  Not good at all.  The middle one is about to have a breakdown of his own.  This is his get away when little man is on the rampage.  After being on the phone to a far away foreigner, they tell me I need to send it in to get a new disk drive.  Go figure, and would I want to pay the $100 up front  so when I'm ready to send it in, I'm all set! Ummmm NO!  Have a good day Sony and screw off!

The girl is at vb.  I'm one short of a trio tonight.  Well for another hour anyway. She will blow in like a hurricane though.  Always does, especially after vb.   As I was cleaning the boys room today, I found some crazy things.  First of all I found a whole bowl of Goldfish Cracker s.  Now mind you, we have not had those in over two weeks.  Nice, I know.   Then I found two panty liners under their bed.  Clean ones.  The girl is learning all about that at school, and that was her parting gift.  Well the liners were stuck on the bed.  Last but certainly not least, there was a cup with what I'm sure used to have chocolate milk in it.  Not pretty and not a pleasant smell.

Here is an FYI....  It is National Something on a Stick Day.  So ladies if you are stumped on what to make for dinner tonight, or looking for the MOY award.  Get those Corndogs out and start nuking.  Yum yum!  It's also hot tub day.  So you can fill those belly s with food on a stick, then take a relaxing hot tub experience.  I personally think Something on a Stick day should be in July.  In honor of all the shady carnivals and fairs.

Thankful tidbit ........  That I'm out of Corndogs !

Thankful Tuesday

3/27/2012

It's thankful Tuesday.  You know what I am thankful for...... That I am not January Jones. ( Aka Betty Draper on Mad Men )  This cuckoo had a baby about 8 months ago. ( Totally not sure how old her baby is)  Anyway, after she had her baby she kept the placenta, dried it out, then made vitamins out of it.   Said something along the line of .....we are one of the few mammals that don't eat our baby s placenta.    Uhhh ughh insert vomit noise now!  I got extremely sick to my stomach thinking it had to come out of me.  Like, I wanted to leave it in.  Betty Draper is a horrible mother anyway, so just goes to show you.  

The girl got a ride to her musical theater class tonight.  Whoo hoo.  Which I am sure my mom is more happier than me.  She had been coming over on Tuesday nights to watch the boys for me.  Thanks mom!   However when the girl was leaving and little man found out where she was going, he became awfully ticked that he had to stay home with me.  You know the worst mom ever,  all my pants are made for big people, and I have a mole on my face that looks like dirt or mud ...... His words not mine!  I thought I deserved the MOY (mom of the year award)  Last week I packed the kids lunches two different days and remembered middle boy s  snack 3 out of 5 days.  According to little man, not deserving of the award.    Hmmmm  I better get it together. 

Every day middle one comes home with stains all over his jeans,  holes in  his coats, clothes ruined  etc...  All from playing football, basketball, dodgeball  or whatever sport he can run,  jump and dive in.  Today he walks in and he is being a little goofy acting.  The girl is standing behind him rolling her eyes.  I actually thought her eyes we're going to get stuck she was moving them around so much.  I ask him how his day was..... He is like fine, it was fine.  The whole time he is saying it I see a big mark/cut on his forehead.  Oh my goodness, what happened.... I ask him.  Oh that, he says.  I was just going up for an interception and when I fell to the ground ( with the ball) some kid ran me over and kicked me in  the face.   I got the interception!  Oh well then, as long as you protected that football in second grade recess.  I guess all is good.  The girl is like dying, still rolling her big green eyes all over the place, saying that any other time he would be crying about that.  I told her to hush, he got the interception.....what more does she want!!   Girls?!?!  This coming from my daughter that informed me she was doing well in her ncaa bb pool at school.   She has 2 of the 4  going into the final four.  Maybe I don't deserve the MOY award.   Reality check!!!!

Thankful Tidbit.....   The girl might win us some $5 for gambling in fifth grade!  Joking, not really thankful for that.  I was hoping it would be $10.

Crazy Mommy is off to enjoy a few more minutes alone!!!!!  Ahhhhh

Brrrr......

3/26/2012

Another weekend has come and gone quickly.  It's amazing!   It was a very emotional weekend .  Little man has been off.  I'm feeling like I'm holding on by a thread, and that is slipping away as well.  I get so confused with that saying t
hat God wouldn't give you this life  if he didn't think you could handle it.  I am pretty sure I can't handle much more, hopefully God will take note!  I have such a short fuse sometimes ,  I immediatly feel guilty for feeling that way, or out of control.  The last few months I keep feeling like I have used up my alloted amount of tears.  Then just as think that......boom  water works central.  I am aware things really could be worse.  They just are not great for us right now. 

On the bright side of things it is create your own holiday day.   So I'm thinking of something special for myself. 

Omg ......Did you see that some lady dumped white flour all over Kim Kardashian.  I think that is so funny.  She bugs me to death.  I like the others, just not her !  I did however just buy a nail polish from their line.  The one I got was a very pretty red . The name was Sealed With a Kris.  Too bad that didn't last!!  Hopefully the polish last longer than their marriage.   I would love to see someone dump flour all over that Abbie Lee Miller the dance instructor from Dance Moms.  Lol  Now that would be hilarious!!    I am still tuning in though on Tuesday nights.  Crazy I know. 

Thankful tidbit........  The 45 minutes I just had while Little man was in an appointment.   Ahhhh

Crazy mommy is outta here.  Xo

Ps.   My horoscope just came through.  It said if you mess with a Capricorn......they will snap right before your eyes. Ummmmm hello!!   Beware people!!   Lol

Crazy crazy crazy

3/22/2012

Ahhhh  Almost bedtime for the kiddies.  Can't wait!  I'm so bummed, I just read that today is National Goof Off Day.  I didn't goof off once today.  Strictly serious.  Note this I will be marking my calendars for next years goof off day. 

Had a mini school conference today for little man.  They basically said he comes three hours a day, maybe 3-4 says a week.  His behavior stinks, he can't focus, behind in his work, hates the teachers etc...... But once he gets a little more stable mentally he should be good.  Hmmmm  Really???? The kicker is as I'm leaving the conference his teacher is walking me to the door, he is in the car with my mom.  I look out and he is shirtless, had a pair of bifocal glasses on, two different winter gloves, one being pink, drinking a coca cola, eating a chocolate bar, waving to us like there is no end in sight.  The teacher and I look at each other, I smile and simply say.......we will see you tomorrow.  Omg!!!!!

Then I get home and I'm out trying to get my lawn mower started, I can see these three people coming down the street on their bicycles.  I am not really paying that much attention than bang.  There is a bicycle accident.  All three collided right in front of my house.  I was like oh my.....are you alright?  I started laughing and laughing.  I kept asking them if they were ok.  The one lady says  ughhhh   I think I sprained my wrist.  I blurt out...well at least you look good.  What in the world was I thinking.   Why would I have said that???  They all look at me like your help is not needed.  I just turned away and slipped back into my house.  About five minutes later an suv shows up, throws the bicycles in, the ladies hop in, and off they go.   Yep I know, crazy stuff! 

Heads up to all you cat lovers.  Tomorrow is cuddle your kitten day!  Meow

Thankful tidbit ......... That little man is sleeping and its 7:30     :)

Until the next time  -  Crazy Mommy  xo

Chocolate hump day....

3/21/2012

Well its National Single Parents  Day.  Finally another holiday I can appreciate. Sitting here eating chocolate and thinking about how great life is being a single parent. (Insert sarcasm)  I do like the chocolate part of it. 

I am super tired. Had to take the middle one to the chiropractor this morning.  While I was there I decided to get an adjustment.  I was a hurting pup.  Then took him to school.   Little  man had to stay home today.  There was a substitute, and he is not a nice kid when there is a sub there. He can barely get through three hours of school a day with his regular teacher.   Substitute?? Not a great time!!!    I was spring cleaning like crazy ......every time I walked out of a room he would make a mess.  I was ready to blow my top.  Actually I did a few times.   I especially wasn't happy when he started my morning off by asking me if I feel ugly in the morning.  While he is asking me this, he is looking at me with a crinkled up face, like he definatly felt I looked ugly in the morning.  I told him that I don't always feel very pretty when I wake up.   He responded with one word...... Agreed.   :(    He then held up a pair of my workout pants and said  these can't be yours .....you are way to big for these little pants.  I said...in a nasty tone, they are absolutly mine and no one asked you.   He was great for my self esteem today.  I guess I better put my chocolate away and hit the gym and get my make up on before I leave my bed in morning.  Pinot Noir here I come !  

Thankful tidbit ........ That he just walked in my house and put a flower behind my ear.

Until the next crazy time!   xo

Spring has sprung !

3/20/2012

Happy Spring!  Another gorgeous day and it is only day two of chocolate week.  

The girl is at musical theater class.  She is extremely lucky she got to come. After asking over and over for her to do some chores, I snap.  Then she had the nerve to argue back .  Like really argue.  I was so mad.  I just don't understand why kids think they can say or do what they want.  Well not in my house.  I told her when you get a family you can do it your way.  Until then.....I'm in charge!   Then as we were totally arguing the middle one is tapping me on the shoulder.  I finally snap at him, and say WHAT DO YOU NEED?  He looks at me like I am crazy and asks ......Can I have an apple?   Ummmmm seriously?  Yes get an apple , there is 6 of them on the table.  Then little man says, man she is grouchy.  You betcha!!!

So I decide to run over to the gas station while I'm waiting to pick up a bottle of wine, for later.  I left with the girl in such a huff I left my wallet at home.    I have Dance Moms on tonight.  I might just need to pass on tonights episode.  I normally get  pretty hyped up from all the dance instructor nonsense, not sure I need it this evening.  Especially without wine!  Lol 

Little man had religion today.  It had been several weeks since he had gone.  Boy....he sure missed Sister Mary Allen.  He hugged on her the whole time.  Even listened half the time.  :)   Then asked her if she had a boyfriend.  Well first of all she is a nun, second of all she is almost 80.  It was time to head out at that point. 

Thankful tidbit. ....   45 minutes of religion, I got to clean my purse out.  Finally!

Crazy mommy is crazy and tired! 

Laugh, laugh, and chocolate.

3/19/2012

It's Monday again.  Doesn't it seem like Monday was just here.  What a great weekend it was. This weather has been wonderful.  I love it .  Im still cautious that we may have one more snow storm, however I'm totally loving this. 

I have got alot of info for you today.  It's National Laugh Day!  Tell your favorite joke.  It's also National Chocolate Week.  Finally, a holiday I can obsess about.  The first chocolate day is Chocolate Caramel.  So get your box of chocolate caramels, and start telling jokes. 

Knock knock......
Who's there?
Irish....
Irish who?
Irish you a belated happy st. patty's day!!! Now that's a funny!

So the girl had vb this weekend.  A tournament in Toledo.  They won the silver bracket.  It was good for them.  The girl played very well.  I am so proud of her.  It is her first year, and she gets better every week.  She really has that desire.  ;) 

Have you heard about that show on HBO, that is called Luck?  Well .....I'm not totally sure of what it is all about, something about raising race horses , I think.  Three horses have died during production.  Which is very sad. I think it is already airing, I was excited to watch, looked good.  I guess they have canceled the series due to the deaths of these horses.  Luck?  I think not. 

So the bf and I go out for a few hours on Saturday.  Nothing crazy.  His friend owns an Irish bar.  We go have breakfast, then decide we will shoot over to his place for a few beers before it gets crazy.   Wrong!!  At 11 am, there were so many drunk people in one place.  I hate going somewhere when you are totally sober and everyone else is not. It is like you are pregnant and going out for New Years Eve!  Not that much fun.  It turned out ok.  Actually it was great people watching.  I watched a couple that was about 55-60 years old, making out like it was there job.  Seriously?  This lady dropped her sunglasses about three times.  I picked them up for her twice, then the third time I was like  you are on your own lady bird, and  I don't like birds!   Then this other lady comes walking by handing out shots, I asked her how much they were?  Free she said, I made them at home to bring out to bars.  ????  WTH?  Ummm no thanks.  Then we decide we had enough, go to leave and there is two five or six year olds sitting on the black top in the parking lot playing cards.  Like where is your parents?  Probably necking in the bar.  Which I heard that also Saturday.  Necking!  Been awhile since that word was thrown around.  Hope everyone enjoyed their SPD. ( St Patty's Day)

Thankful tidbit ..... Jameson/ soda at 11 am on SPD!

Until next time     -Crazy Mommy xo

 

Animal Kingdom

3/15/2012

It's Thursday, one more day closer to weekend.  Yahooo.  Except I think I'm getting a cold.  :(    I'm so not happy about that.  However I think I have a new drink.  My mom brought a drink over last night to calm my nerves, she didn't say that but I'm sure thats what it was about.  Anyway its Tequila and Fresca.  Yummy.  I'm not a big Tequila girl, but......  I think I will definatly try a vodka\ fresca.  Sounds refreshing!  

So the middle kid wanted to go to the book fair last night.  This whole book fair discussion has been going on since Saturday or Sunday.  He has been driving me crazy about how much money can he have, if I dont have the money on Tuesday I will have to take him on Wednesday night (which is something I don't want to do).  So bright and early Tuesday morning he is asking how much money....I go to my very light wallet and realize I only have $5.00 in cash and one of those were ripped.  So after I tape it back together he is disappointed that he can only have that much.  I tell him I will get some cash today and give you a little more tomorrow.  Fine.  He comes home with a book, pretty sure he will never read it. I give him some more money on Wednesday morning.  He comes home and says when are we going to the book fair?  WTH???  I asked didn't you go down to the book fair today ? No, for some reason we were only allowed to go on tuesday.....ughhhh  which means we were headed there last night.  All evening he is asking and asking.  I totally try to get out of it.  Had a very long afternoon with little man and his behavior antics, so I wasn't feeling it.  The girl had vb, had to pick her up.  Between dinner, laundry and wanting a Tequila and Fresca  I started feeling guilty.  Lets go I say.  Whew..... Glad we did .  I believe we were the last customers before they closed up shop.  He ends up getting this animal book of some sort.  Looked like alot of animal info.  He then wants to lay with me as I'm heading to bed and tell me all about it.  After an hour of animal kingdom, I tell him it's bedtime.  Five minutes later he is in my room crying that those spiders we had been looking at for all evening long scared him.  He was frightened and scared that they were going to come into his bed.  Ughhhhh  Ok  you can lay with me for awhile , I tell him. Which turned into all night. 

Ncaa basketball tournament  begins today.  Love it!  Go Kentucky Wildcats!  Go Ohio State Buckeyes!    Good Luck!  Maybe I will make a Fresca drink. 

Enjoy National Buzzards Day.

Thankful tidbit .........  Beautiful weather and allergy meds.  

Take some time to enjoy the view.  Xoxo
Crazy mommy

Love this weather

Oh so tired today.....was up very late finishing my third book of the trilogy 50 Shades of Grey.   I have read all three in about 2 1/2 weeks.  Lets just say WOW!!

Thought we would all go for a walk last night, my mom came over and the whole fam damily heads out for a nice leisurely walk.  Yea right!   Little man chose to ride his bike. About a block into it he has a breakdown, not the bike, him.  He decided he wanted to walk.  I said well you can't walk because you have your bike, and I can't ride it home.  After a huge ordeal, we decide to just head back home.  So about five minutes later the middle one comes running up.  He was bored, so came back to.  At least my mom and the girl had a nice walk.  So we then decide to play some volleyball in the yard.  That was pretty hilarious.  My middle guy was my partner. My mom was the girls.  Little man was the ball boy.  Which is scary when he decides to be the ball boy. He normally gets the ball then just throws it over the fence.  He actually did ok fetching the volleyball.  Lol  which is good because I was tired and getting sore from chasing the ball down.  After awhile I shut the game down, because the girl had musical theater.  She then starts throwing a fit, because its never ever enough and I'm a very boring mom.   Whatever! 

My little guy has slept with me for a few nights. I over hear him talking to his brother. He says well I think I'm moving my stuff into mommy's room, so I guess you will finally get your own room.  This sets the whole evening into a tailspin.  I tell the little one.....you are 7, we do not share a room, you share a room with your brother, you are not moving anything into my room.  I then ask the middle one.....why do you believe what he says? You don't believe anything else.  He is not moving or sharing a room with me.  You have a room that you two share.  Get used to it.  Enough with the bedroom already.  He was like....why can't you and little man share a room?   Ughhhhhh  I simply say, its against the law!  

Just want to say Happy Birthday to my dad.  You are a wonderful father and Papa.  Thank you for all your support and unconditional love.  I love you with all my heart!  Enjoy your day!   Xxxooo

Its National Potato Chip Day and No Smoking Day.....so quit smoking and eat a bag of chips.  Hmmmm

Thankful tidbit......  I'm thankful for my dad!!

Crazy mommy is off to do alot of laundry and cleaning.     :(         xo

Crazy !!

3/12/2012

Hope everyone is enjoying Alfred Hitchcock Day!  Seriously it is.  I would be enjoying one of his movies, however I'm not a big suspense movie kind of girl.  I will never forget I watched The Birds when I was pregnant with the girl.  I have not liked, and have almost been creeped out by birds ever sense.  That movie was soooooo creepy and weird.  Ughh   Some people love that sound of that little innocent bird chirping outside on the fence.  Me, I think I hear that chirp, they will be pecking at the window any minute. 
Had alot of running to do today.  Took little man to his monday appointments about an hour away.  Had to take the girl, because she had an orthodontist appointment on the way home.  Then little man had another appointment at 3:30.  The 3:30 appointment was with one of his psychatrist.  We are in the appointment, and he proceeds to tell the doctor that I am a nutjob and I'm crazy.  The doc says well she is in the right place.   Considering we are at the psych hospital.  We then had to explain that somehow we had one of his stuffed animals when we got home last week after our/his app.  Which was embarrassing.  The dr says hmmmm I didn't even know that was missing or I even had that.  Open mouth insert foot.  Anyway he knows now about my sons sticky fingers. 

The middle one wants to know when he can have his own room.......Is he kidding me with that?  He has asked me this question about 50 times in the last two months.  What the heck !?  He then says , well can I have a basketball hoop?   Ummmmm maybe.   It just doesn't end.   

Thankful tidbit .......  That tomorrow is Jewel Day!    Yea!!

Crazy mommy is  well..... Crazy.  Xo

Smile!

3/11/2012

Good morning.  It's a beautiful day!  So glad the kids get to play outside some.  Hopefully they will run some energy off.  Had a pretty calm weekend.  Thank goodness, because today through Thursday I have 2-3 appointments a day.  Time to start gearing up.  

I was trying to make some copies of photos yesterday.  Wow what a hassle.  Went to a Wallgreens, I look and look for my memory card could not find it.  Finally just decide to make a copy or two from my phone SD card.  Sit at the machine and the 16 year old girl says oh that machine isn't working.  Seriously?  I had been standing here for 10 minutes in front of you looking and figuring it out.  You decide to tell me now.  I pack it up and leave.  Then go to Target.  The machine won't load my card.  Ughhh  so ther other machine starts working, and the two pics I want are not on the memory card.  They were in my gallery, not on the card.   Ughhhhh  I leave and go to Starbucks.  Try loading the pics and sending them through my phone to Cvs.  Yea  I get a confirmation , order went through.  I get there and the pics are 4x6.  I wanted 8x7. So I say can I just make a copy and make these bigger?  Sure after these 15 people get their passport pictures done .  Ummmm forget it. Totally forget it.  Other than that.   Calm as can be!  Now it's Sunday...getting ready to watch Kentucky and Ohio State basketball.  Can't wait!  Have a great day!

Thankful tidbit.....  Relaxation!

Until next time.  -  Crazy mommy  xo

StopKony !!

3/8/2012

It's been a fairly calm evening.  I have a few hours left, but at least I have some sanity left.  Doesn't happen often.  My daughter and I were having some discussion on people with glasses etc ....actually she was talking to me while I was doing dishes and getting a bath ready for one if the boys.  So I wasn't totally listening.  Anyway she was telling me about some kid that got or had glasses and some boys at school were teasing them about being a nerd.  The middle one comes running downstairs all put out yelling at her in total defense.......saying how there are several kids in his class that have glasses and one of the boys kicks the farther than most kids in second grade.   She says first of all I was telling a story, I don't think that.   I told a similar story like this around Valentines Day.  Just goes to show  you what is important to an 8 yr old.  Who kicks the farthest, who runs fastest, who makes the most touchdowns in recess. 

The girl watched that video on that nut job Joseph Kony.  She is now obsessed wondering how she can help these kids in Uganda not be abducted.  It's amazing sometimes to watch your kids really get into something or believe strongly in a effort to make a difference.  As much as I may act like she is a drama queen or mouthy ( she can be), she is such a thoughtful and endearing child. When something moves her, she really puts so much of herself and thought into helping that cause.  She wants us to acknowledge this problem and talk about it .  So  STOPKONY!!!!!   If you are not aware. Go to YouTube and watch the video. 

Totally changing the subject....isn't it really about time that Dick Goddard retires.  I mean my goodness.  He is almost painful to listen to.  All he talks about is getting your cats spayed and neutered. I know I could change the channel and watch another news program, but I like the others.  I think his suit coats are as old as him.  He drives me bananas.

Thankful tidbit ........  A calm evening once a month. 

Until next time - Crazy Mommy  xo

Enjoy Full Moon Day !!!!   I sure will   :)

Headache, headache, headache

3/7/2012

The girl jammed her finger yesterday, playing Just Dance.  I just cringed knowing she had volleyball tonight.  I did give her the option of staying home from practice.  She said no, it would be ok.  She went. There just isn't much you can do for a jammed finger.  At least  we didn't have a huge fight over it.  There are times when she wants me to do something magical to make something feel better.  As magical as I am,  sometimes I just can't come through. 

The middle guy hated life today.  He took the wrong snack to school.  He took an apple nutrigrain bar when he meant to take some  cheese cracker s with peanut butter.  Was so grouchy over that when he came home.  Then complained all night about being bored.  I was like seriously....you have a Wii, Playstation 3, way too many toys, books, art supplies, back yard , balls,  golf clubs, etc....  Well he didn't want to play with any of that.  I asked him if he wanted to play cards.  Nope!  I said well you are on your own.  I don't have anything else for you. 

The little man had to go to the ER today.  Had some sort of episode or reaction to something.  Very very scary!  He just goes through so much all the time.  It really breaks my heart .  He said why did God give him this life.  What answer do you give your child when they ask that question.  Especially when they are in the middle of medical crisis.  I hope my baby boy can get some peace in his life soon.  He deserves it. 

Thankful tidbit .........  Migraine meds!!!!!

Good night!  Crazy mommy is zzzzzzzzz

Ps. Tomorrow is Be Nasty Day.  Gives everyone a chance to tell someone off!  You mean that isn't every day?  Joking! 

Manic Monday!

3/5/2012

It's another Manic Monday....remember that song?  Uh yea, I sure do.   Took little man to Monday morning appointnent in Cleveland.  Went ok.  No crazy happenings today.  Whew.   Only had one appointnent , so we actually got back by noon.  Nice!! 

The girl and her vb team won the silver bracket yesterday.  Was very happy for the team!  On our way home yesterday she keeps asking me all these questions about snow days.  If we get an inch of snow will they cancel?  No!  How about two inches?  On and on.  Ugh she really wanted a snow day.  Well what if it's windy and we get two inches?  I said plan on going!  Are you kidding me?  Wake up this morning and we did get some snow.  I didn't expect to get that much.  All of a sudden I start hearing delays and cancellations.  I said you gotta be kidding me.   Thank goodness it did not affect our school system.  I so could not handle a snow day.  It's all fun and games till 9:30am .  Then they are bored out of their minds.  Want to be entertained.  Not today.  Mom of the year (joking) was off duty!! 

Enjoy Multiple Personalities Day.  I swear I read that.  This one totally fits our house.. We ordered pizza tonight for the celebration.  Whoo hoo

Thankful tidbit ......   Snow plows!   ;)

Until next time -   Crazy mommy  xo

Blahhhhhh

3/4/2012

Good morning!  Well I'm at another vb tournament.  We lost the first one.  On a good note, the girl is playing better.  Looking more comfortable.  Still early though hopefully they can get a few wins and she can keep getting better.    I have a headache and listening to all these whistles and balls bounce is torture. 

The little man is not doing well.  Really struggling.  He is verbally, emotionally, and physically out of control.  He is very hard to deal with.  Lately it has been getting harder and harder every day.  It is very difficult when you feel like you do everything in your power to help or heal your child. Nothing works or is working. Frustrating. I hate to see him that way. People don't like being around him when he is like that. Breaks my heart when people look at him like he is a monster.  I would give anything in this world for him to have some peace.  Hopefully he will find some soon.  I know he doesn't like feeling this way.

It's National Holy Experiment Day!  Hmmmm  I know.   I wonder of it's Holy Experiment Day as in religious holy.   Or HOLY Experiment Day as in that's a crazy experiment.  To each is own.  

Thankful.....  For Advil!!  Ahhh

Crazy mommy is a sad mommy today.  Next game is starting ....wish us well!

Trying to get over the hump....

2/29/2012

Happy Leap Day!   It's very hard trying to explain this day to my younger ones.  They are like huh??  What?  Why?   I just respond with....yea I don't get it either.  Just happens! They bought that response and moved on.  Whew!  Sometimes I can come up with some good ones.  Other times I got nothing! 

Ughhh don't you hate when you eat a cookie or a cracker in bed and you think you had been so careful.  Then you go to get cozy and all of a sudden it's like your laying in a bed of crumbs.  I almost never eat in my room, but I was eating a cracker earlier laying in bed. It looks like I crushed the bag up and dumped it on my bed.  

My middle guy comes in my room earlier and blurts out....shoo weeee what's that horrible smell?  It's me , I tell him.  What is it?  Well it's bio freeze ( BenGay).  The girl and I were working on some volleyball skills yesterday.  Ouch.  I'm sore.  I woke up this morning wondering why I was in so much pain.  Then it clicked.  Volleyball!  Just can't do it like I used to.  Not that I every did that, but it's hard getting older.  Things don't work or bounce back as quick.  It was fun practicing some skills with her though.  Worth the soreness!  She really is a great girl, I'm so proud her. 

Thankful tidbit ......... bedtime.

Until the next time - Crazy Mommy  xo

Crazy ...... but thankful

2/28/2012

Well it's National Pancake Day!  My middle guy had an appointment in Westlake today.  So on our way home we stopped at Ihop.  We each got a free stack of pancakes.  Whoo hoo.  This was sure better than Polar Bear Day.   If you didn't know Ihop did that, mark your calendars for February 28 2013.  Free pancakes! 

I'm at musical theater class with the girl.  They also have tumbling, dance, etc..... I'm watching the tumbling class from my car.  Which I have been watching most Tuesday nights since last September.  There is some serious improvement in this class, especially the boy in the class.  The only boy.  He is probably 12 ish.  He could barely do a round off before christmas.  Now he has his back handspring.  Looks awkward but....he is flipping around out there.  To be honest, I'm jealous.  I sure miss flipping around and such.  Don't get me wrong, I can still do the splits with the best of them.   That is about it though.  The Kickworm and splits are about all I have left from my younger days.   Could be worse.  I could have neither!

Another rough afternoon and evening with little man.   Hopefully we can get some things under control soon.  It's very difficult as a parent to feel like you are doing every thing you can and things still are off and disruptive to your house.   It can feel very defeating.  To be honest I feel more and more like that.   I know things can always be worse.  That gets me through alot of days.  Thinking of the people that are worse off with children.  Like these people in Chardon.  So sad!  You send your child to school, where they should be safe and learning.  There is a chance they don't come home.  Gut wrenching.  As  I sit here and think about those parents whose children didn't get to come home yesterday, I'm relieved.  I think it gives me a little more strength and fight to get me through another day, week, or month.    Hug your children every day.  You just never know!  

Thankful tidbit....... That I had three sets of  eyes looking at me when I woke up this morning.   Xo

Crazy mommy is outta here. 

It's Monday!

2/27/2012

It's monday that is for sure.  The girl had  a vb tournament again.  First game they got drilled.  The girl again didn't do so well.  I was really getting turned off by this sport.  ( the sport I never played)   Next game comes, they start looking better and so does the girl.  I can see it is starting to click with her.  Whew.  Another tournament this weekend .  Hopefully they will win a few!     Go Devils! 

Little man had several appointments today in  Cleveland.  It is all going pretty well at first.   Then he got upset about something.  It was all down hill from there.  Quickly!!!   It was a very intense emotional day.  Lots and lots of tears.  There is very few smooth days in my life anymore.  Some days I wonder if it will ever calm down.  I truly think no!  I keep praying that it will become calmer.  When you have a child that has several issues, It is difficult to treat.  As upset or angry that he makes me some days .  I always end with the thought that he didn't ask for this life with Aspergers, Sensory issues, ADHD,  and possibly more diagnosis. As weak and inpatient that I  can be, I know that I really need to be the strongest person he knows.  And I will.  

The  middle one is extremely happy that it is National Polar Bear Day. He loves animals.  He asked what do we do on this day.  Ummmmm  I guess you just read a book about Polar Bears.  Wasn't the answer he was looking for I guess.  He just stared at me and went up to his room.  Came back down a little while later and said ......I don't even have a book about Polar Bears.  Hmmmmm  I said just make a story up in your head.   Another long stare.   I should never have said anything.  Note to self!  

Thankful tidbit........   To be home after a very long day!

Crazy mommy is a tired mommy     zzzzzzz

Hmmmmm

2/23/2012

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's National Banana  Bread Day!  Yum Yum.   That's one thing I have never made.  I have made alot of desserts and breads.  Never banana bread.  I hear it is super easy!  Wish I had some right now.   Mmmmm   FYI  It is also Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day.  To be honest with you, I have never made those either. 

So did everyone get their ashes yesterday, that was supposed to.  My kids have been racking their brains on what they were going to give up for lent.   The girl wanted to give up her cellie.  I thought no.  I need to reach her at times.  So she went with her ipod.  Which I thought was a pretty big sacrifice.   The middle one gave up gum.  Third year in a row.  Which will also be difficult.  He is not a big sweet eater, but loves him some chewing gum.  Little man gave up ice cream.  I'm calling it now, won't last!  We'll see.  I gave up cussing.  Darn it!  Wow I struggled with typing that. 

I can't believe this, but all three of my kids are laying down for bed.  It's 7:45.  Whoo hoo.  It's going to be a good rest of the evening.  I see an uninterrupted bath.  Wow that only happens every blue moon. 

Did everyone see that Zac Efron dropped a condom out of his pocket at the Dr. Suess premire?  What the cuss?  His publicist said recently that he had been trying to shake that Troy Bolton/ High School Musical/ Squeaky Clean Image.  Did it!!  I mean seriously Zac.  Don't boys put condoms in their wallet ?  Especially at a Dr. Suess movie.  Things that make you go hmmmm. 

Thankful tidbit........ Uninterrupted Baths.   Hopefully!!  

Good night.    Crazy Mom!
