Not much.

to say! I dont have anything to say but feel obligated to blog more! So here ya are...a post from me. Dont get too excited, I know. The only thing exciting that happened to me today was making an appointment to get my hair cut. It is a life changing event according to Matt! I might have to spend $40 or so bucks to look halfway decent. Here is the conversation we had in the car the other day. Me: I need to make an appointment to get a haircut Matt: Your hair looks fine you dont need it. Me: You know most women go get their hair cut and colored about every 6 weeks. Matt: no way Me: yep just call Kristina and ask her! ( knowing that she does go every six weeks) Matt: I WILL! (calling Kristina)How often do you go get your hair cut? REALLY? Why so often? Oh. I didnt know that. I dont know (asking me) how long has it been since you got a hair cut? Me: 8 months! (I can hear Kristina yelling at Matt) Matt: ok thats all I needed! CLICK! Basically that is how it went down! I have been wearing one of those claw clip things in my hair for months and I got so desperate for a change I cut myself bangs one day! Yeah BANGS. not just any ol bangs but the rolled under kind. I look like Rainbow Bright for Christ's sake! Im a lame ass mom who stopped giving a shit what I look like about 3 years ago! Its official! Matt could give two hoots cause we dont go out and do anything to look decent for, Ty only notices his own need for a haircut because his hair is too long to spike up and its pissing him off, and Raegan only cares about yelling at me 24-7. We will see how it turns out and I plan on scheduleing it pretty regularly.... Ha!

No pics!

How frustrating! My camera is on the fritz and I cant up load any of the pictures from the pumpkin patch this past weekend or the pictures from Rendee's shower! CRAP! But I can put a picture of my new car!! YEP....I traded the mountaineer. I was so tired of all the trouble we were having with it so for $40 more a month we could have a new car!! I LOVE IT!! It is a red Ford Fusion and it only costs $30 to fill up rather than the $80 with the mountaineer. We have officially downsized. I have mixed emotions about the size but the newness is pretty darn fabulous!! Anyway. Tyler is doing great at school lately. I figured out the secret. If he gets a sticker for the day then we go get ice cream....needless to say we have gone for ice cream the past 3 school days. Pretty genius if I do say so myself! Ha! His teacher is such a ......for lack of anything nice I will leave that to your imagination..... she is so hateful! I was standing outside as the line walked up and the kids have to give her high five before they can go to their parent. Well Ty is standing in front of her with his hand in the air and she says, "Ty, wait!" and proceeds to name off names of kids whose parents she sees finally after everyone is gone she looks at Ty and says, "ok now go". I hate her. I hate to say she is picking on my child but I think she is. Its pretty bad when another parent approaches you as you go to your car and says she did the same thing to her kid the year before. "She is just THAT WAY" they said. Sheesh! I have a feeling I will be meeting with her in her conference period soon.....before Christmas maybe! All of this "trouble" Ty is in is starting to get really old. Raegan....man! She is a hand full. It just started one day and as not stopped. I don't know if we will make it to 2 without me ringing her neck! She is sooo sweet but she has figured out how to pull her weight around here and I and seem to get her to stop shrieking MOMMY when ever Ty is in the vicinity, or has something sh wants. She is driving me nuts! As for everything else....well....the BIG GAME is son Saturday and I cant be more excited!! We are heading to Raiderland on Friday and trick- or -treating my old stomping grounds and tailgating on Saturday! We don't have tickets to the game but plan on drinking lots of beer and watching it in the parking lot! Cant wait! Mom is watching the kids and we will be with Kyle, Kristina, Kyles family, and Crystal & Donny! Its going to be good and I think we have a chance of beating them! Ill let ya know how it all turns out! Julie

Car trouble!

Yep. Something that started out as a small hole in my radiator has turned into a bit 'ol fiasco!! Here is the deal. Keep up now.....we paid a guy to replace our radiator that had a hole in it. Said "guy" did and not only did he do that....he gave us a radiator that had an internal leak. After driving it around for a week and a half we realized something was STILL leaking from the bottom of our car. SO i take it back to said "guy" and he replaces #1 radiator with #2 radiator. I drive it for 2 weeks and figure out that something is wrong with my car. It was doing funny things so while in Levelland seeing my parents my mom gives me her car to drive and my dad takes my car to the Ford dealership where he works, and where we bought the car. SOOOO....2 weeks later and lots of warranty work done and money spent...we figured that there was a problem with the transmission. My dad brings me the car only to find that the problem was not fixed. We still have a PROBLEM!!! I take it to a shop here and they tried to charge me $350 to tell me it was broken. Yeah after I turned on the Julie "charm" the charges were waived and I was on my way. I even heard Tyler say to his teacher, "yeah see that stuff leaking out from under that car....thats MY mom' car" . UGH how embarassing!! Long story short....My car is still in the shop and I have been without my car for 2 weeks. Matt was toting me around until my mom traded me again and my car is in the shop in Levelland and I am driving my moms Explorer........WHEW. Needless to say I have a few choice words to say to above said "guy" who caused all of this! And I might just have to trade the piece of shit in and get me a

I just LOVED Heather's and I think I just need to go get me one too! LOL! My plea to Matt is, what I save in gas will go to the payment! Yeah right!

On a lighter note. Roadrunners finally got their beer license and are serving bottled beer. We were stoked! It is slow go but we think the beer will be a hit. Pottery Ranch is SLOW! We are hurting for business and are ready for the Christmas rush! I will have to take pictures of my new stuff I have painted! The kiddos are doing fabulous! Tyler straightened up in school and Raegan LOVES her daycare! It is so comforting to know this as I drop her off every morning. We are still shopping for a house. The one I loved did not accept our offer and the house was already overpriced. We found out they were getting forclosed on by the bank and had to sell it for no less than the asking price. So GOOD LUCK is all I have to say to them!! But anyway we are still looking! I have been watching the Biggest Loser and as I do when a new one starts......I'm ready to jump on the weight loss bandwagon. In fact there are a lot of things I am ready to change about my life but too much to mention now. I have some decisions to make and some soul searching to do I'm sure I will rant about them in another post. Thanks for reading! Julie

Kindergarten TAKE 2....CLICK

Well Tyler made it to day 10 and then......he ended up in the Principal's office! Yep! Couldn't believe the phone call Matt got from the teacher that Tyler had "poked" another child in the cheek with a fork at lunch! Of course you can guess my reaction...."He STABBED a kid???????ALREADY????" Ha! Yep I tend to exaggerate. I knew he might end up in the Principal's office some day (maybe 2nd grade) but not even 2 weeks into kindergarten? Man....what is in store for me? If you know me then you know that I insisted Matt march up to the school and BEAT HIM (were my exact words)....but Matt reminded me that it is not like when we were in school and we could get CPS called on us for "beating" our child! Strike 3 on "Mother of the Year". So he just got his but busted when he got home. So needless to say I'm praying week 3 goes off without a hitch....but I'm not going to hold my breath! On another note...Matt and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary on the 14th! I cant believe it has been that long! And what better way to celebrate than to buy a house!! Yep...we put in an offer on a house today! I cant wait! I have been on the lookout for a house I like and I finally found one! I will keep everyone posted on the result of our offer!! I hope we can get a good price on it cause I think I'm already tooo attached to it. Julie
