Halloween Time

Gesh! What a crappy Halloween EVER! My poor little kiddos didn't get to go trick or treating this year. Mother Nature decided we didn't need to go this year or something. She opened up a big flood in the sky just before dark. It was terrible. I had bought 4 huge bags of candy for trick or treaters. But now my kids will have to eat it all...lol At least I had some candy for them. And we dressed them up and took them to my friend Nina's house and to their grandparents house down the road and they got a little bit of candy from them.

Yay! Finally Home!

This morning we finally got electricity back, since Rita came through. I was sooooo happy that I cried for awhile. Me and the kids went grocery shopping and to Wal-Mart. We had to stock up on cleaning stuff and things for the fridge and deep freeze. We lost everything in them.

Ryan's excited, he starts back to school tomorrow. He missed his "school mates" as he calls them.

Visited home

Today the kids and I went home and visited for a little while. We took a look over around the house to see what Chad and his friends had done with the cleanup. They did a really good job. There are still alot of trees and limbs all around the yard though, but they just can't take care of all of it.

So then we went to my good friend Nina's house and visited for awhile. The kids snacked on all her "treasures" she's collected from the National Guard. lol "treasures" meaning the MRE's and other packaged meals. That's what shes called them...lol

It was nice to get out and visit like we use to. :)

The Birthday Boy!

My baby boy is now 6 years old! It's amazing how time has gone by so quickly! We had a great little party for him though. Even though we weren't at home. He was wanting his friends from school to come, but I think he understands the problem. So we got with my cousin and her 2 young boys and we had a great little party for him. It was a football theme. We did that for his 2nd birthday. My mom bought his cake and OMG, it was sooooooo good!

Happy Birthday to my little guy. :)

Damn Rita!

Look what she's done to me!

Rita came through Southeast Texas on Sept. 23rd (Chad's birthday) and 24th. What a great gal she was. She knocked out all power in the area. And she left me having to live with family. Cause in Sept. it's way to hot to live without electricity. I'm so thankful that she didn't do any damage to my home though. I just wish I could go back home and live once again.

No more rain!

Saira thinks we don't need anymore rain I guess. A minute ago she hears it thunder and she blurts out....

"Rain rain gooooo away! Rain rain goooo away!! Rain rain goooo away!!!"

She was singing the song but she didn't know the other part of it...LOL

My night out

Saturday night I went out with my husbands best friends wife. We brought her brother in law and his best friend with us. We had a blast. Chad, his best friend, his cousin, a friend and another close friend went to his other cousins house to watch the Texas vs Ohio State game that came on last night. They also played a college tournament on PS2 before the real game. But anyways, we went to a mens club. The guys had VIP cards and they got in free, but me and Jennifer got in free cause it was girls night. woohoo! LOL It was rather boring and drinks were to expensive so we didn't stay all that long. Then we headed over to a dance hall. After the guys were finished watching the game they came and joined us. I was already toasted by the time Chad got there...LOL But we had such a blast. It's nice to get out without kids sometimes. :) :)

Wonder whats in the works for next weekend? I know we'll be doing something cause our 8 year Anniversary is on Tues. the 20th.

Ryan's 1st Football Game

That was TOO DARN CUTE! I've seen a few Pee-Wee football games, cause my little brother in law was on the Pee-Wee team the last 2 or 3 years. But I paid more attention this time cause my Ryno Man was playing. Ryan is one of the starting players so he got to play alot. His team lost their first game though, but that's alright. That doesn't matter. Those boys had so much fun tackling the other team, rather than each other. Cause during practice that's what they do is practice tackling on each other. LOL I can't wait for next Saturdays game!

Strong Willed Little Girl

OMG ya'll! I am so extremly proud of Saira tonight. Tonight was the rival football game between my highschool and Chad's highschool at my school. So I put a pullup on Saira knowing she wouldn't be able to make it through the game or whatever. After halftime she starts telling me, "MOMMMMMMY, I need to peeeeeee-peeeeeee!"....over and over again. I would've jumped up and taken her, but HELLO the restroom was clear across the other side of the field. UGH! I actually told her that it was ok, cause she had a pullup on. I still didn't think she'd make it, ya know. Well, a good 5 minutes goes by and she's still telling me. I told her the restroom was way over on the other side and pointed it out. So she kept telling me, "Mommy, I need to peeeeee-peeeeeee...over dare!!!". I couldn't take it anymore, I figured what the heck, lets give it a try. I still didn't think she'd make it over there though. We get there, have to wait in line for maybe a minute and a half. You know, that's a long time for a potty training kid. I said, "I just know your pullup is wet."

Don't you know....she proved me WRONG! GOOOO SAIRA!!! I was so excited. I don't know who was cheering more, me for Saira or the cheerleaders for the football team...LOL

Oh! And then after she ate some dinner when we got home, I had her get on the potty again and she went. Man, everyone needs a neighbor lady like I have to get their kids potty trained...LOL

Such a Big Girl!

What a day! My little girl didn't act very little today. She had her little friend come over to play this morning. And little friends mama told Saira she needed to wear panties instead of her pullups. So don'cha know, Saira goes to her room, puts on panties and comes back to us and says, "Dare! I put my pannies on." About an hour later the little friend needed to go potty. So Saira, the little girl and her mama all go to the bathroom. The little girl pee pee's and then Saira says she needs to go. And she DID. AWWW, her pee pee'd on the potty! She's pee pee'd on the potty a few times before, but this time was different. So anyways, she went next door with the lady and her little friend. They even took a nap all together...lol She never would pee pee while she was there though. While they were gone, I went to Wal-Mart and McDonald's with a friend of mine. It was so nice being kidless. I get back home and call Saira to let her know I was home and they all came over. Then we all went to the school to pick up our boys. Her son is in Ryan's class. We get back home and Saira finally has to pee pee again and she did it on the potty...awwww! BIG GIRL! All this potty stuff was the neighbor lady's doing. :) Well, she finally had her accident tonight. I kept asking her if she needed to go poo poo, and she kept saying "noooooo" everytime. But I had to go get dinner cooked and don't you know, she went to her room and pooped in her panties...darnit! Oh well though, she did good with pee pee'ing.

Ok, so tonight, came bath time. Saira's in the tub playing. And I let her play for awhile. I went back in there and she took it upon herself to start washing up. And wouldn't let me help...LOL I think she washed herself 3 times...LOL

I'm so proud of her today. Major big girl day!! :)

Why am I so tired of the Internet? Is anyone else bored with it like I am?

Poor Kids

Woops, my poor kids are in for it now...LOL Last night I decided it's time to clean out their closets of all the toys. They have SOOOO much it's just so unreal. So I decided that today will be clean out day. I'll be taking everything to GoodWill. I hope I can get them both done in one day...LOL

Rain Rain Rain

Ok, I'm tired of the rain. And it's so weird...It starts raining around 1pm every day...lol

Too early

You know, waking up at 6am is just to early...LOL Me and the kids made it Thursday and Friday. We got up and got ready and was ready to go before it was even time. But last night I didn't get to bed until 1am. I had to stay up and get this PartyLite candle stuff done. Normally I would've gone to bed at 10-10:30pm So I could have enough sleep. I do believe Saira and I will have a nap time today...lol Probably just after Ryan gets on the bus. Today is his first morning to ride the bus to school. He'll be on the big bus. Last year he rode the short bus for the Pre-K kids. He's also bring his lunch today. The 1st 2 days he ate the school tray lunch. He's excited to tote his little spiderman lunch box. Everything is spiderman.....lunchbox, backpack and nap towel. Last year it was the same thing....school box, backpack and lunchbox. Thank goodness it's new stuff...lol

Happy Monday everyone :)

Not Happy

Well, I just found out who Ryan's teacher is. He got the worst one. UGH! But my neighbors son will be in the same class along with Ryan's best buddy from last year. So there are some pluses. I wanted Ryan to have his teacher from last year's sister...it is her first year to teach and those girls are so great with kids. Their mom teaches 1st grade. I believe I blogged about this before...LOL So I won't bore you with that part. So I came home all depressed. UGH! But I've decided to look at it on the brighter side. Which is the neighbor boy is in his class and his best bud. Also his class is right next door to his old classroom. And I'll be able to visit with his teacher from last year. It makes me sad cause I won't get to have a close relationship with his kindergarten teacher this year. Like I did last year with his pre-k teacher.

Oh well though, I'll make lemonadeade from the lemons I was just given. :)

Just Beautiful

My heart just melted a second ago. Ryan comes to me and says, "That's just beautiful huh mama?". He was in the livingroom watching Land Before Time. It was over and the music was playing at the end. I could hear him in the livingroom singing and humming to the melody. Then he comes in here and says, "That's just beautiful huh mama?"

I haven't felt good today and earlier this afternoon he told me I needed to lay down and take a nap so I could rest. He told me to do that several times. He's been so sweet today. :)

New Look...

I'm going to give it a go at changing my background. Wish me luck. I don't know that I'll get it right. The codes for this blog stuff is weird. And I didn't put this pretty pink background up for me. My dear friend did it for me, and she's so great at this stuff....Hilary...wanna help??? LOL

Poor plant

For some reason, I can't remember to water my little ivy that Chad's aunt gave me a few months ago for helping take care of her when she had surgery. It's my first plant since we've moved into our own home. I wouldn't have old ones but a WITCH of a girl tossed my plants out, thinking I didn't want them. UGH! The ol' huzzy! She pissed me off big time, cause those ivy's were from my grandpa's funeral and my cousins funeral. And one was from YEARS and Years ago when I had a beta fish and thought I'd put one on top of his jar, but it didn't work out so I just potted the plant. I even had my dear friend Nina's brother drill holes in my metal pot so it would drain. Ahhhh memories of my good ol' plants. :( Makes me sad! :(

Well, anyways, I need to get some potting soil for this ivy that his aunt gave me...lol It needs to be repotted. And of course, forgetful me can't seem to remember to buy any...LOL I'm so lazy that I did buy a terracota pot to repot the little guy, but didn't get the soil, right... so I put a few plastic grocery sacks in the bottom of the pot to make the plastic container that the ivy came in stand up...lol

I'm pitiful! lol

Busy with Ryan

Well in Spring, it was T-Ball. The fall is coming and it's FOOOOOOOOTBALL time! We've signed our little guy up for youth football. Chad is going to help coach too. I think Chad is so excited about it. His dream is to be a coach. But we aren't sure if he's got the patience to do this with little kids. No, really, he'll do fine. But omg! Ryan is beyond excited about this. The kid got shoulder pads last Saturday when we signed him up and they gave him an old jersey so he can practice in. I kid you not, this child has not taken them off since then. He wakes up in the morning and puts on his pants from baseball, then slips on a tshirt and puts the shoulder pads on, manages to get his jersey on and THEN grabs his play helmet that he's had, gets a football and starts yelling out, "HUT 1, Blue 42, HUT HUT HUT!!!!!!" and runs around the house....ROTF!!!!! He thinks he's an NFL player already. But he won't take his get up off until bedtime...lol He's so darn cute with it all on though. Chad had a heart warming moment when he sae it on Ryan on Sunday for the first time. I do believe that's the moment Chad has waited on his whole life....to see his baby boy all dressed up for football. T-ball was cool and fun, but football is in the blood, it's in his family.

That's my boy! :)

My Sim Addiction

I play it every day or night. I've gone to the website and downloaded other peoples family/houses. I need a new expansion pack. :) Or maybe... yeah... I need it on PS2 WITH a memory card. Yep Yep, that's what I want!!
