If I hear..."I'm bored" one more time.

If I hear...."I'm bored", "there's nothing to do" or "what is there to eat", one more time.......I think I might shoot myself. I know there are lots of mom's out there that totally love summer and spending every waking moment with there kids and it's not that I don't love my kids and spending time with them but I will be so excited when school starts. I find as they get older and with the age differences that it is hard to keep them all entertained. Having mostly boys means if they are not doing something every waking minute then they are bored, its just so much better when they are in school and playing sports. Anyway, I gotta go cause someones bored....lol.

I want a sucker

I just had to write this down because it is to funny.......I took Pepper with me to get a diet coke and while I am getting my drink she said.."mommy....I want a sucker." Me: "You don't need a sucker." She looked at me and said...."but I have a cast". SHE IS TWO! lol

What's up with that?

I tried to convince her to go with pink and she insisted on blue.....what's up with that? Let me start with saying that 1 week ago Reese our 9 year old just got of his lime green cast and had stitches taken out of his head(2 seperate accidents). Not even a week later we are at a friends house and Reese is playing with a 10lb medicine ball....throwing it up in the air and catching it. He missed it and did not realize that sis was laying on the floor and it landed on her arm/wrist and fractured one of her tiny little bones. She screamed for almost 45 minutes, (which is not like her) she is normally one tough cookie. We ended up at urgent care on July 4th and had to wait to see and orthopedist on tuesday. The doctor visits were worse than even that actual break....she screamed, cried and yelled the entire time we were there. The anticipation was worse that what they were going to do to her, which was nothing but wrap it up. Everytime a pair of scissors would come out she would scream at the top of her lungs.."don't cut me!. don't cut me!" You would think that we chase her around the house tourchering her with scissors. Then we would walk out and she would have a smile on her face and say to all the nurses who just tourchered her...."all better." Only 3 weeks with a cast....and it will be all better.

Where do I start?

I really need to start sharing my life on this blog so that I can look back and remember all the fun and not so fun stuff that my kids do and all the happy and not so happy times......cause I have a horrible memory and I don't want to forget. My problem is I feel like I'm not good at writing and I feel like its just not going to be funny or interesting, so I start to write and then delete and never finish. NOT ANYMORE.....I am deciding right now that no matter if its good or not I'm going to type SOMETHING because I know it will be meaningfull to me and my family to look back on all the memories.

Where do I start? I feel like I have lost so much time and memories all ready.....Grey is 15 and will most likely be gone in 3 years and I have hardly anything. I can't believe how fast time flies by. It seems just like yesterday he was starting kindergarten and now he is taller than me. He really is turning into such an awesome young man. Grey and Crue have been in Washington for almost 2 weeks visiting Bob's parents and having a great time. It seems like everytime I talk to them they tell me they love it there and miss it so much and wish that we could move back......maybe someday. Things have been a little crazy since they have been gone, you would think it would be easier having less kids....NOT! I have to say that they definitly make my life a little easier.....when they are here I don't have to take Reese, Tieg and Pepper everywhere I go. I can run errands and just get out without loading all the kids in the car. Reese and Tieg are definitly my 2 that have a hate/love relationship and I feel like lately its more hate than love. I just don't know what to do with them sometimes. I'm not sure if I should share this next story cause it makes me look like an aweful mother and in that moment I probably was but I was at the end of my rope. So here it goes.....Reese and Tieg had pretty much woke up fighting, whining and arguing with each other about anything and everything. I had grounded them from just about everything and anything.......I was done and could'nt take it anymore. They were sitting at the table eating and fighting and I lost it. I told them that I was going to send them to their own seperate families where they would be the only child and they would'nt have to worry about getting along, sharing or playing with each other anymore and I was totally serious. They both started crying and begging me not to send them. Our good friends and neighbors boy Trey was sitting on the couch (he is 11) and he looked over at them while they are bawling their heads off and said .."your mom really does love you." Okay, maybe not my best moment and I do love my kids, I just want them to get along. This post is getting to be a little long so I am going to share one last thing about Pepper, she is definitly a handfull. Pepper is 2 1/2 and very independent, she doesn't need help from anyone and can do everything by herself. She gets into everything and can destroy something in seconds.....which leads to my next story. She was in the bedroom watching netflix on Reese's laptop computer that he got last christmas from nana and papa Gilman (not a new one and older refurbished one) she was in there for like 20 minutes totally quiet watching dragontales (i thouught).....I walked in to check on her and found she had rippped all the keys off the computer from the letter A across and down. How do you do that? I got alot of the keys snapped back on but there are a handful of them that don't work quite right and are just setting in the spot because they won't snap back on and I am not totally sure that 2 of them are even in the right spot. I'm still not ready to laugh at this story and think its funny....time will tell.
