Just Waiting!

I know I am to impatient.Everytime I think I have calmed down I get all excited again.I am talking about taxes!We files ours on the 21st of Janurary with the promise of 8-15 day's and today is day 16.I keep checking the bank account but it hasen't been deposited yet.I wonder if they count weekends?I want a sectional,bikes for all the kids,and a years supply of household stuff {toilet paper,dish soap,laundry soap,dryer sheets,ETC.}Is that asking for to much?Not to mention my tags are out the last day of this month.I forgot about my tags when I had money.They are calling for more snow between now and Monday.We still have some left from the last snow.It started out snowing yesterday then it turned to sleet then to rain so none stuck.I think the kids around here have been out of school more since Christmas break then they have been.My mom is still here.As of Sunday it will be 2 weeks since she arrived {she lives 20 miles away}.She just don't drive in the snow,sleet,or rain.My father came and spent the night last night.He generally goes o my sisters house but someone got grumpy {they blame each other} so dad got out of there as soon as the roads cleared enough.I have an idea about taking the kids pics.I think I dreamed how to do it.I will play around with it and then show you!Have a great weekend!

New Hair!

I decided to save money and cut the kids hair myself.I generally only do this with the clippers during the summer when I can just buzz it all off.Brenten and Kaden wanted bowl cuts and I just thought I could do it.I don't think it turned out to bad.I just keep telling myself practice makes perfect {think how good it'll be when they move out on their own}.Justin isen't happy with his hair so I told him I could buzz it all off.He didn't like that idea so decided to stop complaining.Kelsey didn't get anything done to her hair but I did trim Ashley's bangs because I knew if I didn't do then she would take it upon herself.

Snowey Fun

This is a few pics I snapped while everyone was home.

It Don't Taste Like Mommy's...............

My mother is snowed in with us as most of you know.I finally went out with the kids to play in the 10+ inches of snow then I came in,sat down,and fell asleep.When I awoke  my mother was cooking.Oh dear lord how could you let her?I didn't go disturb her,I just let her keep cooking.Finally it was done and time to eat!The menu was sausage,eggs,biscuits,gravy.The kids ate their eggs and sausage but after taking a bite of their biscuits and gravy they kindly asked for cereal.I think I will be following the kids on that cereal.The poor kids kept telling Grandma that it just don't taste like mommy's.I will make sure I am awake to cook for my family in the day's to come.I'd sure hate to put everyone on a starvation diet.Geez no wonder I gained weight when I left home lol.

Have A Great Weekend!

And don't get to much of a brain freeze!We have 5 inches of snow and counting!I took a few pictures out the door and window today but didn't go out to play.I did go out long enough to scoop some snow for snow ice cream.I'll have to fight my way to the store tomorrow for more vanilla.Our roads are bad and scooping isen't helping!Thats ok I have 4x4 and I ain't afraid to use it!My mother is still here.It's been a fairly nice blessing for her to get snowed in here.She cleaned my kids bedrooms today while I worked on laundry and reading my book.I'll get some playing in the snow pics tomorrow and get them posted.I got my cell number changed yesterday due to a lady harrassing me about not meeting her last Monday.I answered once and told her it wasen't my fault she didn't show up.She didn't give up so I gave her something a little more to steam over.I like my new number much better anyway!Well I'm off to fold some laundry!Have a GREAT weekend!

We are in for it now!

We are in for it!The weather man is saying between 5 and 9 inches of snow and ice yeehaw!I went to the grocery store and bought all that healthy {and no so healthy} stuff to get us through.I figure the kids will be home out of school for a week so that was alot of food to be bought.I cleaned the hill in the front yard in the sleet so we won't be crashing into stuff as we sled down.And best of all......My mother is here to get snowed in with me.She came up Sunday afternoon to go on a trip with me Monday and she is still here!It's not so bad.The kids wake her up very early of the morning so she deals with them while I catch my 8 hours of peaceful snoozing.Kaden has developed a temper and it dosen't matter what or who it is that ticks him off when he starts talking things start going his way.The bicycle moves when he tells it to and the kids run like fire when he goes in attack mode.I kept telling them to not pick on him because he would learn to be twice as bad but I guess they didn't believe me.I'm waiting on taxes to come in which should be tomorrow.I have plans to stock up on 12 months of household items{toilet paper,dish soap,shampoo,laundry detergent.etc.}.I think thats about $1000.I am just tired of worrying about running out of stuff or getting in the shower to find we are out of shampoo.I guess I should go get the meat prepared for bbq sauce and the oven.It will be supper time before I know it.

Pure Bliss

I am so happy at the moment!I am not moving after all!He finally knows I am serious as serious can get about noy being afraid to pack up and move on with my life.He is trying real hard to spend time with the kids.He brought up the idea of buying #1 an r/c car like his so they can race together.He has said he is going to buy all 5 kids bikes.And he has brought up the idea of buying me the sectional I have been wanting.He has been very calm and loving lately.We will see how things work out.I am stashing away 4 grand and if things change here I will leave.I am giving him a couple of months to see if he changes and 1 wrong thing will send me packing.So thats the update around here.
