It's a mystery

Do you know how you can open your closet everyday for a week and see your black shirt with the white hearts (or whatever shirt) and then the one day you go to wear it, it mysterisouly dissapears. I didn't want to wear the grey shirt, i wanted to wear the black shirt with the white hearts. I tore my closet up looking for it, and it was never found.

Of course, I'm sure I'll find it tomorrow when I don't want it anymore. Isn't that how it always goes. UGH

Wordless...Thrusday???

Day 3

This is day 3 of potty training. It's going better then I had thought it would. I actully hadn't expected to start when I did. I got up and changed her as I always do and she was moslty dry, so I knew she'd have to go so i had her sit on the potty and she went. Well I put a diaper on her and didn't think nothing of it because that has happened before. Off to the library we went. While we were there she told me she had to pee pee. I surely didn't think we were giong to make it to the potty, but we did, she was dry and she went. Well then after that , she went twice in her diaper so I thought , well it was a nice try but then while I was at work Eric said she went 4 times for him. So the next morning (yesterday) I took her diaper off and that was it. I said no more diapers during the day, and stuck to it. We went to walmart with no acidents. We went to the potty when we got there and before we left. Today is the same, no diapers. I don't intend to go back to diapers during the day. She's in big girl panties and loves to wear them, even though she wants to wear a differnt pair every hour lol

Wifey (book 4)

This was another Judy Blume book. Not at all what I was expecting and nothing compared to Summer Sisters. I just couldn't get into it. I had a hard time getting through it. I was glad to finish it. I was surprised that I didn't enjoy it because i have never found a book by Blume that I didn't enjoy.

Here is a description of the book

"The bestseller about a very nice housewife with a very dirty mind! WIFEY is tired of chicken on Wednesdays and sex on Saturdays. This morning, a mysterious motorcycle flasher revealed himself to WIFEY and brought her frustrations into rigid focus! WIFEY sees her wildest fantasies taking flight, and WIFEY has an itch - and uncontrollable - urge to catch up with them!"

My next book - I'm keeping a secret. It's suspense and so far very good.

Summer Sisters

This is a judy blume book. She's very well known for her children books but she has some adult ones as well. I loved this book. The story of friendship and family is wonderful. It shows that there is good and bad in life. I loved how no matter what Caitlyn did in her life or did to Victoria, she still loved her and was there for her. Parts of the book reminded me of me and my childhood friends. The ending was sad, but not all endings in life are happy ones and that's what I loved about this book. I reccomend this. Go to your library and check it out.

Next..is another Judy Blume book called Wifey. It's an old book from the late 70's. So far it's pretty good.

Next library trip is Tuesday morning!

Monday Ramblings

Today was overall, a pretty good day. Mason stayed in most of the day. I let him go out twice but both time gave him only an hour and then I let him swim at the neighbors till 8. He didn't even put much fight up about it which is a good thing. We went and ran some errands and had lunch at a chinese buffet, which both kids love. Of course though, after two bites Mallory started in with " I wanna go" lol but that's what ya get with a two year old. After lunch we stopped by the library and got our books. Eric got three and I got two and together the kids got 5 and 1 Elmo dvd for Mally. After that we came home and I took a 3 hour nap with Mallory. LOL I just can't help it. Now that I work full time , every day I'm off , I have to nap to get through the day. How terrible is that?? But it's good because if I didn't I'd be ready to go to bed at 8 and this way I can enjoy the evening while the kids are in bed.

Have I mentioned how much i love my new place??? We've been here a month and I just love it here more and more. If you had seen my old place you would probably understand.

I also am loving the new store i work in (better then the other one). Not only is it so close but I have seen people I went to school with and people are just more friendly here and will actully hold conversations and since I love to talk, it's a good thing. lol

The dark knight (new batman movie) opens this week and we are going to see it. not sure which night yet, but Eric is super excited. It's all he talks about. He knows so much about the movie i tell him he doesn't even need to go see it lol.

Summer Light(book 2)

My second book was a Luanne Rice book as well. I love her writing. She really brings me into the story and I feel the emotions of all characters in the book. It wasn't my favorite Luanne Rice book but overall it was good. At times I got bored but then would force myself to get back into , and then I'd get hooked into it again. The story revolves around Martin who is a famous hockey player, May who is a wedding planner and her daughter Kylie who sees angels. May and Kylie meet Martian on a plane and they are brought together by Martin's dead daughter Natalie who also plays a big part in the book. What I did like about it is , in a lot of books when two fall in love, it's all magical but in this book they struggle with their love and they do fight like real couples, but in the end their love is so strong they are brought back together. The end brought tears to my eyes, so if a book can do that it can't be all that bad, right?

I just got two more books from the library today. Both are Judy Blume books. One is Summer Sisters that I think I have read before but it's been so long I don't remember anything about it so I want to read it again and I got a book by her called Wifey that sounds interesting.

I think I will pass my summer reading goal. I have my kids reading too. Mason and Mallory have to read (or be read to) every night. Mason loves getting books about bugs and animals and he will sit on his bed reading them (or looking at pics lol). I make Mason read at least once a day but lately I don't even have to ask him to do it, he just does! Of course having parents who read non stop helps lol They see us reading and they run and grab their books too.

So if your are looking for a good book, pick up Safe Harbor and Summer light, both by Luanne Rice.

Fustrated

My son is driving me absolutly crazy. Serisouly it makes me want to scream. he's not a bad kid. Really, he's great, in fact I never see him. All he wants to do is be at his friends. I try to limit it, I've told him to stay home and he fights me on it. I just don't think it's right that an 8 year old be running the neighborhood all day and his father thinks it's fine and I don't. If he's home all he does is wine and cry about being board. As soon as he was done breakfast today he wanted to leave right away. I said no, and he started to wine and then I told him to go and just move out since he's never home. Of course, i felt bad about it after I said it but he just drives me crazy. I don't know what else to do. The neighbors are going to think or probably already do that I let my kid run wild. Eric just says "he's a kids , let hime go". But he's not 14, he's only 8.

What's that??

Oh if I hear that question one more time I am going to scream. Do you know how many times a day I have to answer that question?? "Mommy, what's that?" My answer "that's mommy's book" Mallory's answer "ooooh" "Mommy whats that" " I just told you that is my book" "oooh", Mommy, what's that? I swear it's never ending! LOL She asks me that 100 times a day or more. And it can go on for like 10 min if I let it she will just go from one thing to the next asking what it is even if she knows what it is already. Gotta love a two year old!!

Safe Harbor (Book 1)

My first book of my 5 book goal was a Luanne Rice book called Safe Harbor. I really enjoyed it and couldn't wait to continue reading when I would put it down. It had everything I like in a book....love, suspense, drama. It's a bout a woman who's sister dies and the sister has left in her will that she wants her to raise them as her own. Yeah, I know its been done before in movies and other books but still, it was very well written. I wouldn't say it was the best book i've ever read, but still, it was good.

My second book that I just started is also a Luanne Rice book. So far, it's pretty good. Not sure if it's as good as Safe Harbor but it's to early to tell. My third book will be by a differnt author. Not sure who. Maybe I will try for a differnt genre.

Guess where I went today????`

Well after making my reading goal for the summer I decided that the best place to get books would be the library. Duh! But of course they didn't have the one I wanted which was "My sister's keeper" but they said they can get it from another library so I might do that next time. Well the frist book I started with and almost finished is a luanne rice book so since I love it I decided to get another one. I won't tell the title until I do my book reveiw. The first one will probably be tonight or tomorrow since I'm almost done. Mason and Mallory got some books as well and Eric did too. We went as a family and that was great too!

Birthday Bash!

Today we celebrated Mason's 8th Birthday! Technically he doesn't turn 8 till Tuedsay (the 8th) at 1218 am but we had the party today. It was lots of fun. At first we were going to have it at the bowling alley but none of his friends could come there so we had it here. The rain almost spoiled the fun but it lifted just enough for us to have some outside fun too. Here are some pics from the day.


Here is the birthday boy helping me decorate the cupcakes!

Guess who had to lick the spoon?!?

Yes, he's only 8 and we got him a cell phone. He loves it! With him always at his friends we want to be able to get a hold of him. And hey, this isn't the 80's anymore right?

How many men does it take to hang a pinata???

Slip and slide fun!!

Moving again.....

No, I dont mean I'm moving out of this house into another, I mean I'm moving to another store again. But actully this is for the best. See, when I got transfered to the other store I didn't know I'd be moving 25 min away. And with gas prices the way they are it really hurts my wallet. Well we have a store in the town I live in too , that is only 2 minutes (if that) from where I live. I had asked to be transfered but another girl wanted it too and she asked first. Well the manager of the store was my manager at the store i started and he transfered. Anyways he told the generel manager he would rather have me there. So starting on the 12th I will transfer to the store right up the street. That means no more cooking! (this store does not have a girll) and I will be working by myself again and I kind of like that and at the store I'm at now I work more doubles and there is waaay to much drama.

So yea, this is a good thing!
