So, I have this blog and

I never manage to post! Eek. School is back in full swing and I think I am more exhausted then summer vacation. 3 kids, 3 different start & end times, 3 kids....
Is it Christmas vacation yet? ugh, I can't believe I said that. Hubby is in MN for a "school" of sorts for the week. I want a "school" that lets me have a king size bed all to my self. Well , obviously, I'd skip the school part and just stay in bed! Well, the Princess is trying (not so well) to dress herself for school! Calgon anyone?

Is there anywhere...

I wish I had someone who lived somewhere just far away enough to count as "near by"
I wish I had someone who lived someplace fun or at least perhaps peaceful. Maybe on a lake. Yet with air conditioning. Someone/someplace I could just pack up my creatures and head off for no particular reason. I kind of do. There is a place on the river. BUT that throws out the peaceful part. HMMM, Missouri river, 3 kids. NOT a good idea. Or perhaps I am too picky. Something about a spider inhabited trailer is not sounding delightful to me. Hubby however loves it. Fishing & beer, he knows no spiders or child drowning fears. So I sit and wish. and wish. and wish.

Not working. No place to go. No where to hide. And still too much crap to do. Only 1 more "free" day. Then I will be WAY out numbered. Why is there no "free summer things to do in Boring Omaha" in a Google search.

Things I do have planned for the summer:

Older One signed up at Library for some classes he will probably roll his eyes at me for.

Sprinkler Parks, gotta love free.

Leisure Water Parks, for when I can scrape up $10 for watery drownless joy.

Maybe a trip to Lincoln to the Children's Museum, as I like it better than ours. And I think even with gas to drive there, it's cheaper.

I even filled the little kiddy pool outside today. Well mostly cause the puppy likes it, but the kids will eventually realize it's full too.

Hell It's Almost Been a YEAR!

Let's see if I remember how to babble coherently. School is only in for 2 more days. I am in the process of filling a dumpster full of house crap in order to survive in my home longer.

Hmm. In the last year....

The Princess has gotten glasses.
Hubby is in need of glasses according to the eye doctor today (from a Princess eye poke almost a year ago)
Not sure I can have Hubby in glasses. Could be terribley strange to see. He is very light sensy, no geekey lens changey dimmy things either.
I need to go in for a new exam for my own eyeballs.
Both boys have fine beautiful healthy eyes. "knock on wood"
Older one, needs braces & attitude adjustment
Younger one, needs a muzzle.
Puppy needs a bunny. Ok, but she really wants one.


Let's see how long this will last.

Has anyone seen my HEAD?

I know it used to set upon my shoulders, but it's missing.

After 3 weeks with the lost cell phone, it magically appears under the fridge. Only to be put thru the f'n washing machine today. No, I am not smart enough to have insurance on it or I woulda got a new one when it started having kid drool defects.

I give up. Yet again. On trying to survive the day.

Oh yeah, Princess SuperModel's pictures are too melt your heart. She looks so sweet & innocent. If I ever actually find my brain & my scanner, maybe ya'll can see them.

Off to the funny farm, the nut hut, wacko ward, the looney bin better known as the room where the kids are playing.

Just Dooooooooooo It!

Wow, is it March already? Time flies without a life! I have mixed feelings on March, thrilled cause it means SPRING yet it's a rerun of February. Same day same date kinda thing, and when you mix that with doing the same things on the same days on the same dates, you get something really stupid to blog about.

I have discovered it's time consuming to have to online movie lists. Hubby signed up for the Block Bluster one. Which will probably win out in the end cause it gives you 2 in store game or movie rentals each month. End of unpaid advertisement.

Aay Frankie! I need another beer. And breakfast. None of those oatmeal cookie shots though. As usual, I was thankful ( & exhausted) from a much overdue night out with the girlies. Hubby didn't seem as impressed with my meeting of the pizza man as I thought. Maybe cause it was after midnight and he was only half asleep. Maybe I won't mention that the pizza man knows about p'n in hampers (not Pampers) but in retrospect much better than vents. Though in my house, that would have been impressive since it's on the top of the wall!

Well, knock on wood, The Princess' has no injuries, her nails are painted and other than a cough that could make you fall over she could actually make it to get pictures done today. Assuming she lets me do her hair, I may actually get an unscathed photo of the almost 2 year old drama beauty queen.

At The Heart of It

After browsing everyone else's Valentine posts I knew ever so many would be pondering just what went on in Deranged Land! Well, we took the "mominit" in for a prevacation oil change! AND piled into the "dadit" (there's no in, cause there aint no room IN it) Woohoo! Then we got heart-shaped pizza's to go and came back home for our Hearty dinner...heart pizza and heart cake with heart sprinkles! All jealous or what!


Got my Ikea list made and my plan of attack on the big ass mall (though I don't think it should count when you have "repeats" of the same stores, that's cheating) Anti shopping activities planned for Hubby & Young One. Older One shall bounce in between for he made out like a cash bandit in his pre birthday activities. Now if I could just get the house picked up (& stay that way til we return) and everything packed...it would all be good. Who knew I'd procrastinate about packing for 3 days for 5 people. My well planned dog sitting mission has hit a few stumbles too. Joy. Well off to hide more goodies (aka shut up, we are NOT there yet bribes) for the kiddo's backpacks o' fun. What magazines do 18 year olds read these days? God, I am old.

More lists. Must make a trip to the ol' HellMart..... I am in so much trouble when the Princess can really talk. Hmm, maybe then I will HAVE to shop alone! Not such a bad thing, I think I remember how.
