Stop it...

I have a gripe..go figure, I know! But seriously! EVERY morning when I am taking Ty to school I pass by the Verizon building. It does not sit at an intersection but yet there is still a stop light there for the people who work in the building and have to park across the street in the parking lot and walk across to the building. I think I have to stop at that damn stop light EVERY time i approach it! It has gotten to the point that I "gun it" in the car when I see someone walking up to the crosswalk and press the button that changes the traffic light to red! It is a race and I usually loose. There have been times that I disregard the color of the light and when said pedestrian walks across I just go....red light and all! It makes me so mad! I have a solution for the Verizon people...it would make me sooo much happier with my morning...build a bridge..build a bridge that the workers can go over the street rather than stop traffic every five seconds! JEEZ... G.I.S.T 20:365 1. Washing Raegan's shoes in the washing machine just like the laundry...and they look like brand new!! Its great! 2. A new coffee table and end table courtesy of my mom and dad! 3. Playing ball with Ty in the backyard. 4. Mopping my entire house!

Ahhhh....Friday!

I love Friday! Its by far my favorite day of the week! I think I wold enjoy today more if I hadn't drank so much wine last night! Ha! It is official ladies and gents...I am a grade a number one room mother for Ty's class! And it was declared so at todays meeting of the room mothers. Basiclly I have to whip out 70 sugar cookies by the 13th for Ty's Valentines Day party! YAY! Im down...at least I think I am anyway! Ty had his 6th "real" birthday yesturday. I was shopping for his gift yesturday and refused to get him anything he can do indoors. He is 6 afterall and every little 6 year old boy should disappear in the backyard for hours on end! He doesn't and I decited to get him something to encourage him to get out there and play! A bat, ball, and baseball glove seemed to have done the trick! He loved it and the clothes that I also got him! I cant wait for the party tomorrow! My favorite thing about growing up is that my Mom made such a big deal out of our birthdays and holidays! I will never forget the hershey kiss necklace that I got one year for Valentines day from her! I dont know how she does it but she always finds the neatest things! Toys jewelry, you name it! For Chrstmas one year she gave me a Mary Engelbreit crock pot....It literally made me cry since I was pregnant and loving all that is M.E. I have every intention to raise my kids the same way! G.I.S.T. 19:365 1. Sleeping late this morning! 2. A clean house. 3. Having a tickle fight with Raegan! 4. Green tobasco on my eggs this morning....my favorite thing EVER!

Blog....what blog?

Good Lord! I have not taken the time to write here in a week!! I suck at blogging...obviously! I do like the word of the day...Bale Out! Read it it is quite funny. Well I over slept this morning only to find my child whining about his loose tooth that "will bother me allllll day!". So I said, "you want me to pull it out?" and he says "sure" so i did. Ha! Hes a brave little fart. It popped right out and he was sooo shocked that I actually did it! And here is his new and improved gap....fresh for his sixth birthday tomorrow! I cant believe Ty is turning 6! We are headed to Chuck E. Cheese's on Saturday to celebrate. We wanted to have it in Lubbock s that our REAL friends and family could come and not some kids from his class. I think he will have more fun tha way! He is looking forward to seeing his friends that moved there from San Angelo Treyton and Blake. They are going to have a blast. G.I.S.T 18:365 1. Ty letting me pull his tooth this morning! 2. Going walking this morning and taking Raegan along with me. 3. Getting the kids icecream today and only taking 1 bite of each! 4. Matt is off tonight!! Pics of the house!

Oh, today was an eventful day! Imagine my face when the doorbell rang today and I opened the door to find the Budget Blinds guy standing there! I swear I almost started crying! I could not have been more happy to take down the damn beach towels that have served as "curtains" in my kids rooms! I was ecstatic! So blinds up and look amazing! We went with a wood blind with a wood color and they really "warmen" up the room! So..now if I can get these two bathrooms done and move all of our crap still in the garage of the old house before Opal moves in this weekend I will be in good shape. My mom is coming this weekend to help me decorate the house and I think I will finally feel complete. If you know me you know that I have to have my "nest" built right down to the last decorative lamp....so I will finally feel like this house is ours!

Moving....

Well we are just about moved out of our rent house of 4 1/2 years and moved into our new house that is (thank god) 8 houses down! We have painted all that we are going to paint, purchased a new fridge, and new blinds. The blinds dont come in for another week so we are sporting crappy sheets on the windows and the neighbors must think we are REALLY white trash since there are bright colorful beachtowls hanging in the windows that face the front yard. CLASSY! If I could find my camera I would post pics but since it doesnt upload pics to the computer I dont guess it matters much if I find it anyway! Ha! Matt and I are doing fantastic and got some much needed time without the kids last weekend. Thanks to my inlaws for taking them for the weekend so we could paint and move....and go out a few times... I am planning Ty's 6th birthday for feb 7th and have decided to have it in Lubbock. I just really didnt want to invite a lot of kids I didnt know and I didnt want the family to have to drive 3 hours to come....they always do and I feel so bad! So the party is at Chuck E Cheese's. His absolute favorite and his friends Treyton and Blake can come since they moved to Lubbock! So it all works out. Now enough of the boring crap that is with me.... G.I.S.T. 16:365 1. The sound of my kids playing contently down the hall. 2. Having my washer and dryer operable and in the same house I live in.(Not that I LOVE doing laundry) 3. Brand spankin new apliances. 4. Having THAT discussion with my hubby and figureing out that we both want the same things in our marriage and both of us were clueless.
