Cousins

Three little princesses. Dancing, twirling, and singing..

Woo Hoo!

Well I set out to finish our bookkeeping and instead I decided to clean the office. It looks much better and aside from a few more items to file I must say I did a good job. My hubby (who's taken over the office - which was originally intended for a scrappin room) is terrible at throwing things away, I swear he keeps every piece of meaningless mail and every recipt he gets his hands on. Well it's all gone now, because usually when I clean he goes through all the trash and the recycling to make sure I haven't tossed anything he wanted, but this time I threw it all in the dumpster HAHAHA -revenge for the Easter Eggs that he threw away and my candy that he is always tossing. Hope everyone else had a productive day as well.

Bibbity Bobbity Bo!

Isn't it fun when you suddenly realize that you're a good mom. I know we don't give ourselves enough credit to what a wonderful job we are doing but really when it suddenly hits you and you take the time to see how amazing your kids are and think to yourself 'that is all because of me!'

That is how I feel today - especially while the kids are napping :) I mean I guess I am kinda a young mom, although I know alot of others who started earlier. But when I look at my girls and see just how awesome I have done with them and how my whole life is really blessed just to have them. I can't believe it. I am a really good mom and I can't imagine doing anything else. That is the beauty of today.

Internally Furious

So it's raining today, which seems odd since it is June? But perhaps we will have a long summer into October - either that or I should start building an Ark!

Yesterday was one big disaster after another, well atleast it was annoying. First I dropped off some cake at Melanie's (no that was the good part of the day..) then I headed down town to pick up some end of the month paperwork from our client, but it turned out that the owner wasn't there and the lady in there wasn't very good, or smart. I did get the paperwork and left with a half way decent coffee. Then I had to pick up my Aunt because she let my cousin use her car because his is dead (is anyone still reading?) anyhow we didn't have time for lunch or the park and instead had to go to my cousins filthy apartment and have his car towed. Then I gave in and bought pizza and took it to my Aunts where my other cousin (different than above mentioned) and his little broom riding hoochie decided that they would eat my pizza. Little F'ers. So then you all know I don't swear but my cousin had pushed my buttons beyond the limit and he is a firkin nuisance. So I told him he was bugging me, and a few other choice phrases (my girls' ears were probably burning). And ofcourse he runs to his mommy for help. GOSH she is such an enabler, I am so glad I am out of that place and I can't wait to move even farther away from that disastrous house. She has no clue of the cycle of abuse going on there. She plays right into his little mind games and then says "well that's my son." There comes a point when you have to just let your kids fall to rock bottom on their own. It irks me and I don't think I am mentally stable in his presence. Really I wish she would just find a good counselor and get the heck out of there. But what else can I do, she will die trying to please his every desire and probably still feel like she didn't do enough. It DISGUSTS ME!!

Okay I feel better now, time to eat and go to MOMS Club, thank god for some kind of normal constant in my life.. really the other MOMs are lifesavers, and I mean that with all my heart. Thanks for helping me keep my compass pointed North.

Adventure at Great Grandma's

Another Sunday at Great Grandma's House.. What fun we had today, first my Aunt doesn't have her car right now so we all jumped into my car and headed up to G-Grandma's. Then the kids whipped out all their toys and proceeded to spread them across the floor, after that we had our usual PB&J lunch with cheese. Then Adrianne had a #2 accident and she's been potty trained for almost a year so I don't have a change of clothes but I did find an old pull up, so that's what she wore the rest of our time there. Then my uncle and his girlfriend came, the kids don't really care for my uncle (infact Adrianne usually screams bloody murder at the sight of him), so he just peeked around the corner real quick. As the day got on I think somebody got a little tired, because I caught her catnapping. Then the day wrapped up with steak dinner at my apartment and we watched the first Indiana Jones movie (and Cinderella 2). Now Julius is taking my Aunts home and the girls are supposed to go to bed, so I can get some reading in. Hope everyone had a great weekend :) Check out the quick slide show I did...

So yesterday we were supposed to go to the Sears and have dads photo taken with the girls, for Dad's Day. But we ended up late and they couldn't get us in, so instead we went to Aunt Kits and took a couple photos before their outfits got destroyed. Here is the outcome..


I thought they were pretty good, we also had baby Christopher too so ofcourse the paparazzi got him too! That's a pretty darn good first smile photo too!
