hello

Well howdy how are you all today? I am good sleepy, but good. I am not going to be coaching the cheer squad, but that is ok. There may be days that Daniel has to take Grayson and I can not make practice. My Kirk starts middle school this year. We had orientation last night. I think he will like it. Grayson is the only one in the primary school this year. I dread this year for Grayson really bad. One of his teachers name is Ms. Perry. I have known her for years and years, we used to stay the night with each other when we were little. She is a little bit younger than me. You would think that this would make me confident that all will be well with Grayson this year, but it don't. She is strict, can be hateful, and mean. We will go round I am afraid. Our primary school is very strict anyway, almost like a prison. It stinks, but maybe we will be ok! Has school started back where you are yet? It starts on the 15th here. I am dreadin it. I have to go now, got to get breakfast. I will talk to you all later though. Take care

Mommys quiet spot????

I think I need to change the title of my blog. Mommys quiet spot just does not fit my life anymore. I have no quiet spot, no quiet time on the computer, the only mommy time I get is when I go over to Hopes house. Summer has been crazy. We went to Washington Dc and then on to New Jersey around the fourth of July. The kids stayed in New Jersey for about two weeks after we left. My mother in law and sister in law brought them home and stayed for about a week with us. We had a nice visit. Last week Draven had band camp from 4-8 three nights, this week he is going 8-3 all week this week. School is getting ready to start back, but instead of things slowing down and getting back to normal, they are only getting more hectic and chaotic. YAHHHH cant wait. So anyway, we have Grayson playing little league football and Draven starting high school marching band, even though he is only in the seventh grade. Grayson will practice Tues and Thurs. Games on Sat. Draven will have to be present for all high school ball games which start on Aug. 22nd. So we will have ball on Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat. Church is Wends and Sun. I have a total of one free day a week for the next 3 months or so. Also Daniel will be home this year for Grayson. He did not get to see him very much last season because he worked second shift and most of the games and things were at night. This is good because he can do with Grayson. I was a cheerleader in school and I always wanted a little girl. I did not get one though. I wanted to do pageants and coach cheer leading. Having all boys this is hard. Thank God he gave me a rent-a-girl, which is my sister salena.

She is 11 years old. This year I have signed up to coach her cheer squad. I will find out tonight if I get to or not.
I did get to do some fun stuff this summer though. I went with my sister, my brothers girl friend and my sister in law to a new store in Kingsport. We all got make overs and shopped until we dropped. LOL. Last night my brothers gf went shopping for her sister a wedding gift. I was exhausted by the time we got home!
I hope everyone is doing well and this post finds all happy and blessed!

AHAHAHAHA

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen!

Thank you all for your advice and I quit today. I know i need the money, but its actually just mad money Daniel does very well providing for us. We can make it on his income. I just have to plan on making it with his income. I actually sent her a text. I know what you are thinking, how mean and how gutless, but let me explain here. When I call her she does not answer either phone nor will she return my calls, this has been going on since I started keeping the kids. Tuesday when i was supposed to keep them, I got a text 20 mins before they were supposed to come saying that she would not be bringing them. Today I did not even get that. No call, no text. I told her in the text that I would not be able to keep her kids anymore because I needed to know when I work, because I depend on the income and also i need to be able to plan things with my family. So far, I have not heard a thing from her yet. Oh well. Daniel is cool with it, he does not blame me at all. If I wanted to be this stressed, I would go out into the work force and find a job outside the home. I then would also have the added stress of finding a sitter myself. So its back to pinching pennies. I want to thank you all again for all your support and advice. Love you guys!!

Hey guys

I hope everyone is doing great! I am good, school let out on Tuesday for the summer, so I am a little stressed out right now. Nothing to worry about though. I have just gotten used to my quiet time is all. I have started a new rule at my house. My kids fight over everything under the sun, so from now on, community service is in full force. They fight, they stop doing what ever fun thing they were doing and I make them clean. If they wake me up before 9 in the morning, unless it is a true emergency, then they have dish duty for the day. I am hoping that this will help to keep them in line. We will see.
I have been trying to find an online job that is legit, and does not cost an arm and a leg to start. Any suggestions?? I found one called four points mom that sounds really good, but I have not got a phone call from them yet. I am hoping that they call because I think that it would be a good one to get into.
It is supposed to be hot here all week. In the 80s, thank God the pool is up and running now. We have a pretty big one, its 4 1/2 feet deep and like 24ft around, i think. We switched over to chlorine free this year. I haven't been in yet this year, but the kids have and they liked it.
I need some advice today. You all know that I have been baby sitting, right? Well its getting frustrating. The kids are great, that is not it at all. Its just that I get paid $120 every two weeks and really count on this money. Well from the get go, the mom has waited until the last minute to let me know when I am supposed to keep the kids. That is the frustrating part. Then it gets worse. I was supposed to keep them this Tuesday, but that morning of course i call her because i haven't heard from here to make sure that I am still keeping them and she says well there dad may be off today i am not sure. I will call you back and let you know. I got a text 30 mins before she was supposed to keep them saying that she didn't need me that day. I am supposed to keep them tomorrow, but who knows. What should I do guys like I said I need this money but I also need to be able to plan what I can do with my own kids. If I don't keep them, then I don't get paid. Its just getting aggravating. She also has switched jobs and gets off at 8 in the evening now. She took for granted that those hours would be fine with me, but they are not so I have to take the kids to their grandmothers at 6 when I do keep them. I just want some outside advice. Would you keep them??

I got an award to from Lisa. I love it, she is such a sweet person! If you guys don't know Lisa yet, go by and check her out!!



Thank you Lisa!!!!!

Sexy red hills

Shoes, pause think about this, are shoes merely what we put on our feet, or are they more? Can shoes represent our mood, and where we have been? Well certainly if our shoes are muddy, then yes they do tell where we have been, we have been somewhere in the mud!! I really do think that they represent our mood quit frequently. If you are feeling fun and flirty, maybe a nice wedge would be the choice. Perhaps a pair like this.



Or maybe if you are having a lazy day, a cute pair of flip flops.



Of course neither of these would work if you are in the mood for outside activities. A more suitable choice would be tennis shoes.



Also a good pair of shoes can really make a woman feel very good about herself. My favorite way to make myself feel special and sexy is high heels!! High heels are my favorite kind of shoe. They make me feel pretty. They work great with dresses and jeans.



Now guys on the other hand can not appreciate shoes like a woman can. My husband thinks that I have way to many shoes, my motto is one can never have enough shoes! i have tons, but want more. My shoes make me feel happy, I know that sounds silly. I buy shoes when I am sad. It makes me feel better. And in the words of Cinderella, a good pair of shoes really can change a girl's life!

hello all

I am not doing anything much today just babysitting. I am so glad that I do not have to work outside the home right now. It is so stressful on the kids. The little boy that I keep does ok if his mom drops him off, but when his dad does, its really heart breaking. He hangs on for dear life, crying his little eyes out. It is really sad, and his poor ol daddy is tore all to pieces when he leaves. It usually only lasts about 20 mins or so, but it is still sad. I am feeling down in the dumps today. I think it is because of Draven still, I am just so worried about him. I am also really tired today, I stay that way a lot lately and I just want to sleep. One of Kirk's friends is coming home with him tonight. He is all excited about that. So how is the weather where you guys are? It is cold and rainy here. It has been that way all week long. Maybe that is another reason why I feel down in the dumps today. Who knows? I just know that I am sooo ready for some sun shine. It is supposed to be back up in the 80s by next Thursday. That we will be good because we are going to a fossil museum and dig some bones. Then Friday we are going to the pool for a private pool party that the school is having for the fourth grade! That should be fun!

Oh did you guys see the news today? New Kids on the Block have gotten back together. That's fine, except when I watched the show I was not impressed at all. Their singing is not what it used to be. Also they need a new name, those guys are older than me. New kids on the block???? Yeah they need a new name.

K enough rambling I will go visit for a while now and maybe look for a publisher for my children's book wish me luck!!
