I feel like I should be writing, but I don't know what to say, lol. Things have been good. We had a great weekend. We did a lot around the house. Brad got the pool sparkling and the backyard cleaned up and I planted flowers and cleaned the laundry room and pantry today. I like to see organization, even though it probably won't last long, and most likely it'll be ME dis-organizing it! I gotta get some more done tomorrow because I am hosting Bunco on Tuesday. Gotta look like Suzy-Homemaker for the Bunco babes.
Tomorrow is Monday, BLAH. I don't want to go to work! Not ready to give up the weekend yet. Grandma Diane is coming over to watch the girls in the morning. Brad's dad has an appointment to have his porta-cath removed! You know what that means? It means he is cancer free AGAIN. This is the third year now since his chemo, so they are removing his catheter. That's huge. So great! So so so great. Go Larry. xoxo
The girls are great. Had a good day with both of them. I can't wait for more warm summer days. They are the best.

XOXO

Friday the 13th!

I'm not scared! Haha! It should be a good day. I am almost off of work, and I am going home with my girlies. Julie and the babies are coming over to spend the afternoon with us, that'll be fun!

The past few days have been crazy. This week we had our trees trimmed, our house painted, our new entertainment center delivered...I feel like all I am doing is writing checks to people! It made a big difference though. The living room looks good, and it is still bare!

The kids have been kinda off from all the excitement. They are good, just a little sensitive this week for some reason. BUT, I have been too. I am at the point right now that I get to sometimes...I feel like a pushover. This happens when I get busy. Ihave been working, getting up early, doing the majority of the work around the house, trying to be a shoulder to some poeple around me that need one right now, dealing with my own issues....I never ever say no. To anyone. I take the demands, I take the requests, I take the pressure, and honestly, I am tired of taking the higher road sometimes. I want to say No, leave me alone. I have other things to do. I have myself to take care of. I have something to say, and I don't want to feel bad for it or be torn apart for it! I don't know...this doesn't make much sense, I am sure. There are a lot of "I's" in this blog. I try not to write about myself too much. It feels selfish to me. Things will get better, they always do. Just a little funk.

Vegas this weekend baby!!!! I am super excited. I had a total blast last time I went. Being in that city with Sharon and Jamie was beyond major fun! I can't wait to see them again. But, this weekend, I will be able to spend sometime with Brad, gambling! Hahaha, is it bad that is one of our favorite things to do together? We have so much fun doing it. Maybe we can beat our record from 2001. We sat at one blackjack table for 12 hours straight that trip. We are gonna try again. But that means we need to be winning, lol. Fingers crossed!!!!
I'm gonna miss my girlies. Seriously. Ellie told Brad and I both today "Love you!". That's so cool. No feeling on earth quite like that. Payton slept with us most of the night last night. It was nice, other than the hair in my mouth and the elbows in my side. She is the world's best cuddler. I love these girls so very much. I hope they know it.

Time to go...gonna pick up my kiddos and lunch for Juju and I. I miss her so much.

Note to Self

Look in the mirror before you go to work in the morning. Or at least don't dress in a dark closet.

A nasty truck driver just came in and was staring at my boobs. I thought it was strange considering I am am wearing a t-shirt and a hoodie half zipped. My tee is cut high, so no cleavage. Well, I just looked in the bathoom mirror. I am not wearing the shirt I though I was. I thought I was wearing a white tee, but I am wearing a white pajama tee that is completely see through. You can see my entire bra. Very nice Misty. Oh so classy.



Good lord.

HoHum

I am so tired! The girls wore me out tonight. I don't think my butt touched any surface for at least 6 hours. Sheeeesh. I finally just ate a bowl of cereal for dinner and it's 9:30. It was darned good.
Brad is fishing. Surprise! I hope he's having fun, because I am not, hahaha! Just kidding. I enjoy my quiet time with the girls. The house just seems to suffer. Oh well! I hope he does well in the tournament. Bring home the bacon BABY!

I'm worried about Ryan, but what can you do? He'll figure it out. I just gotta keep offering help, and he will come to me when he needs it. I'm missing Julie bigtime. Those poor babies have been sick, sick, but they are getting better. My life feels a little off right now with all of these changes, but it'll get back into it's rythym soon.

Good news is that there were lots of big giant tractors and trucks at the park site up the street. They are finally starting!!! I can't wait. :)

I want to know where Payton gets the things that have been coming out of her mouth lately. Here's a little list, so I never forget just how funny she is!


1. She thinks Drew's penis is a "really long belly button". The girl won't stop talking about it either!
2. She wants to bake me a pie. A poop pie. A "warm poop pie with poop, burps and toots inside". Yum.
3. I cannot call her by any other name than Payton. She is not honey, baby, sweetie, girlie.......when I call her something else, she informs me "I am not ______, I am Payton Horack-Girl!".
4. She is not tired. She is never tired, she just rubs her eyes and yawns constantly because "it makes her feel better."
5. Past Saturday was NOT St. Patrick's Day according to Payton (Horack-Girl). Spongebob's best friend does NOT have a special day of his own.


That's all for now.

It's so easy!

I pick what I want, I add it to my "shopping cart" and I click my way through the instructions and WA-LA!!!, new stuff I don't need it on it's way to my door! I didn't even break a sweat! (Which is unusual for my hormonal post-baby making self right now!) Brad's gonna be surprised. HAHAHA!

Oh well....

We aren't getting our new house. At least not right now. The guy backed out. I sensed he was a flake from the beginning, but I was hoping I was wrong. All I can do is take this as a sign that it wasn't the right time for us. In reality, I do love our house. I love our neighborhood, our neighbors, our pool, living so close to Julie and Jason...so it's all really ok. :)

Fingers crossed.....

I am talking a lot tonight. (It may be the cold medication.) I just want to put this out there. I WANT THIS NEW HOUSE!!!! The opportunity arose, coincidences occured......I gotta believe it's all meant to be. We shall see!!!!!!

A breath....

...of fresh air. My girls. After that last blog, I gotta get happy thoughts going again. Let's brag.....

Payton. Yay Payton!!!! No potty accidents happening. She's is really responding to her Potty Chart. I'm proud, she's proud...even Ellie claps for her big sister! Payton is such a funny kid. She's starting t-ball Saturday. I can't wait. She is so excited. Her boyfriend Drew is playing too. Everything that comes out of her mouth is so funny--and it's like it's intentional. She wants us all to laugh! Tonight, I had onion rings with my dinner. She wants a bite, of course. So I give her one. She says "mmm" a first, then tastes the onion, and gives it right back to me and says, "Mom!!! That's not yum, yucky salad is hiding in there!" Ha! Silly goose.

Ellie. My sweet, sweet girl. She's spunky. That's the best word for her. She's all smiles until she's a little bit annoyed, then WATCH OUT! The girl can turn on the tears in an instant. She's still a momma's girl. She follows me around and doesn't let me get much done, which can be tough, but she's only little once. I hae nothing more important than her and her sister going on around here anyway. I'm always looking for an excuse to finish the laundry or dishes later. Ellie is quite the little cuddlebug though. I love hugging and kissing on her. And she still lets me, which is a huge plus. I like to hug and kiss Payton too, but I gotta work for it, lol. I am excited to see how much Ellie grows this year. She's becoming quite a special little gal.

He made me do it.

I hate to complain, I really, really do. I wholeheartedly believe that the more I complain, the worse I feel. So I try not to do it. But, as usual, to no one's surprise, my disgraceful daddy-o has managed to get me bitching again. Score one for dickhead.
I don't have the energy to go into specifics. We haven't had any contact since his last major retard move in August of last year. All of a sudden I am getting gifts for the girls in the mail. Stupid gifts. They are BABIES mister!!!! What the hell does Ellie need a stamp collection for? She ain't gonna write letters to you. The only thing she'd want to do with stamps is eat them. By the way, her name is ELLIE. Not Leah, not Eli, not Elle....

Sad. I'm done. Again.

My babies...

*tear*

Babies? I don't see any babies! I cannot get over the fact that my girls will be celebrating their birthdays in the next couple of weeks.

Payton is 3? When did THAT happen? She's amazing. So absolutely amazing. I fall in love with her everytime I look at her. She's smart and mature and so very compassionate and as gorgeous as they come. Did I mention funny? Hilarious. Her one knock-knock joke gets a little old sometimes though, hahaha!

Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Boo!
Boo who?
Awwww, don't cry!

:)

And then there is Miss Ellie-bean. Hello. A year old already? This year FLEW by! She's becoming her own little person so quickly. She's walking, talking, playing....chasing her sister, chasing the dogs, chasing her mom. I really love that girl. She's going to be all of those wonderful things her big sister is. Everyone says she is a total mini-me. All I can say to that is "Look out world!"

I can't wait for this summer to come. I really can't! Brad will be home. The girls will be playing (in perfect harmony, right?). The sun will be shining. Fun, fun, fun!
