Life, it really does happen

So I was just meandering through this thing called my life and i realized I hadn't posted a blog in awhile. Of course my laptop had to go and get a virus and junk so I had to spend most of last night cleaning up the mess it created. My Anti-virus didn't pick it up at first but the malware finder software did as well as my registry cleaner did and now it is acting all kinds of better.

So, I wake up this morning to the news they are considering and actress who is 9 to play Nessi. I still think DD8 has what it takes to be her but, I tell myself, I did submit her head shot back in July and let the cards fall where they may. Oh well. As soon as I made my mind up about resubmitting her, her whole world falls apart. Yeah, I find out through her teacher she has been lying, trying to cheat, been deceitful, trying to forge my signature, and is completely distracted at school. Ok, I knew I had to address these issues before I did any kind of trying to get her pushed into a movie role.

Well, she always has her dance she could fall back on. However her dance teacher said she would take care of her if she didn't straighten out because she will not be allowed to participate in dance if she still doesn't get her act together. I am not sure where this is coming from but it will stop asap! My lil diva had a rude wake up call yesterday.

So other than dealing with my Drama Diva (who is destined for some sort of stage somewhere in life) and life, I got away from my blog. This weekend the kids got to go fishing. They had a blast doing it! My work had a picnic and they got to go fish in Choctawhatchee Bay (Gotta love Indian names in my area). I wished I had more to tell you but other than belting out tunes at work with my coworker, my life has been boring as of late.

I will share one funny with you. The other day in dealing with DD8, I was telling DH about what was going on. He walks in the house and says to buckle down and get serious about school. I then told her that EVERYBODY had her number and she wasn't going to get away with anything. (I say this with a stern look on my face and a seriousness to my voice) She looks up at me and asks all kinds of innocently "DO people in Japan have my number too?" I was like, What? then it dawned on me what she said, I ruined my perfectly good mommy moment by laughing at what she said!! UGH, who knew parenting was so hard???

Head shot

Here is the head shot of DD8 i submitted for the role of Renesme. I think DD is too old but she is very tall. She is almost 4'9". But I am debating whether or not to resubmit! So whadda think? Should I do it? does she even look anything like you are thinking Nessie should look like? Be honest!!

The last pic I am throwing in there because i love her pose here...all on her own. This was the first day of Kindergarten for her. She was 5!

I swear I am not blonde!!

So anything that starts out like that has to be a story in itself. Yes, normally I have a level head but sometimes, things just don't gel just right and than you have ME!!!

I woke up this morning freaking out that the kids were gonna miss the bus and I was trying desperately to get DD8 up for school and not understanding why she wasn't getting up. If you know me, I am blind as a bat without my glasses on and after she wasn't getting up, I was trying to look at the clock to figure out what time it really was to try to motivate her into moving and getting up. It was freaken 230 in the morning and not 530. man I felt like a heel then. Good thing she didn't wake up!!!

I didn't go back to bed until 430 and then I got up at 530 to get them up and ready for the bus. All of them made it out ok!! I wasn't able to get my mocha before work today but I survived!! I got one after wards. i was dragging butt today and EVERYONE wanted to know why I wasn't all kinds of happy today. I am who I am...sometimes I am not all happy and giggly but if I have enough caffeine I am.

The kids are due off the bus any min, so let me get bags checked and homework started and I will type some more. I will say I was accosted yesterday. Well is it accosted if it was willing on both parties part?? *contented sigh*

For sale 1 DD8 who is cute as a button but we are dealing with a lying problem. Loves Dance and loves to talk. She is a wonderful big sister (except to her 2 brothers). She still sucks her thumb though (although we are trying to break the habit). We would like her back after college though. She is a good lil cleaner when she wants to and loves to snuggle in your arms.

I love my mini me, I truly do not know what I would do without her! I just hope this phase in life ends soon! Don't let the look fool you, the red eyes are pretty dead on...lol

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me

I Completely love this song and I am BUGGING EVERYONE singing it everywhere!!

So let's see my day today. I got paid. Woohooo. I can't help my addiction to things. I wished i understood these things. Like I am addicted to mochas. Like seriously addicted to them. I had to stop by my work after I cashed my check and I got me one!! I also had one this morning. I was dragging hinny today!! I even had a cup of coffee too. I then became very hyper. I told my coworkers that they love me....i provide them with much entertainment. Of course i am laughing too so they are laughing with me....lol

Ok, so I am addicted to R/K too....I wished I really understood it but I can't. I have a few friends (Ang, Alice and Emily (SHG)) who help feed me this addiction....we are all pro R!! I am pro R/K!!! I need to find out why my interests peeks so much with them. I love watching videos of them. i mean they are so freaken cute together. *sigh* I have to contain myself or I will go all kinds fangirl. There is a lady who blogs too and she completely writes down everything in my mind about them. It is kinda freaky to me.  ok, moving on.

I am addicted to shopping. Just saying.

I am addicted to Lady Gaga.....lol..I really love her music. Even though she is completely freaky! Her music rocks!!
My friend Emily from across the pond intro'd me to  Shiny Toy guns....I heart them too! I will try to link them tomorrow!!

My day started out very off and I couldn't get my thoughts together...It was a monday at its finest!! After all the caffine kicked in and I took a Goody's, I was fine!!

DH is even being like wonderful. He is freaking me out!! He is very agreeable with me. He of course made me very happy yesterday. *happy sigh*  I even commented to him about it!! He laughed!!!

Ok, I need to get dinner started!! Nothing major today...although DS9 think all men of color are Will Smith....it was quite a funny convo Mindy's DH had with him on Saturday! I told one of my coworkers who adores DS9 that, he started grinning and said cool!!!

When the lights, go down in the city....and the sun shines on the bay....

At least I think that is the words to that song. I have no idea but it sounds good to me. I am just chilling with my peeps....I feel like busting out with the Fresh Prince theme song...Chilling out max real cool, shooting some b ball outside of the school....

Ok enough of that. I have a song in my head but can not tell you what it is. The part I keep remembering is the beginning chords and that doesn't translate well over the net...So it will remain in my head. I have had a crazy night after my insainly busy day yesterday. I fall asleep around 930 and DH wakes me up at 1030 just to tell me good night. Grrrr...takes almost 2 hrs before I fall asleep again. Well I was light sleeping (kinda resting). Then he wakes me up at 4 am to ask if I paid a bill...I mean WTF??? I was up for another 2 hrs before fall asleep again then he wakes me up at 8 to ask me for a number...grrrrrrr I am seriously??? I am tired but not too bad. He did make it up to me *evil grin* (what is it that they said in Mama Mia dot dot dot...)

We didn't go to church this morning and the boys had scouts this afternoon in which we just got home from. DS9 is a Welbo this year and DS6 is a Tiger. We have the same den leader for both and even if she does talk like a yankee, I still adore her! I really dislike the tiger year. I just want to be up front and mention that now.

So Ole boy is back home in London. I have a few friends who are talking about a road trip to go hunt him down. Man, if I was there, i would so join them!! I am in a fangirlish kinda mode today...crazy huh?? I feel like getting all giddy and *squeey* over anyone I know who is someone important to me...I know...Who the heck are these people I am going crazy over??? The ones on Twitter I sent a shout out too are awesome writers. I need to link their stories in here one day.

So yeah, I went tot he wedding yesterday and all. I had fun. I didn't drink and I didn't dance but it was very pretty. My friends were the photographers for it and I just followed them around with water bottles and carrying their camera bags..I told them I would be their apprentice and work for free just to have fun with them! They truly are some great ladies. If you are my friend on FB, you can see some of their work. They take all my pics now!!

ok, I need to get dinner started. See you tomorrow!

As 1 door closes, another 1 opens

So, my real life has been crazy lately. Not crazy as in psycho, but crazy as in busy. Today is a case in point. I will be busy with soccer games, birthday parties and a wedding. Through it all, I have a friend who is experiencing the most devastating thing in her life. It is hard to celebrate when someone is hurting and losing.

I know I can not allow this to get in the way of my kids and their activities but it still hurts none the less. I will be at soccer games, a birthday party and a wedding, while she is up at the hospital grieving. If there is anyway to help her shoulder her pain, I would. I have felt that loss before and I remember it well. This year was a tough year for me. Alexis would of been 15. 15!!!! Yeah, I can't see me with a 15 year old when my 9 year old drives me nuts! Usually on the 5's are hard years for me. I did talk to DH and told him the next few years would be hard too, 16, 18, 20. Those are major years in someones life. I just hope that in whatever way, my friend knows that she has people there for her. For those who do not know, Alexis was my first born who was born sleeping at 25 weeks. A door closes.

Another door opens. It is hard to have such a range of emotions today. Another friend of mine is marrying her soul mate. The love these two people feel just makes you wanna go out and either find yours or hug yours. I have been through the fire with this friend with her ex. He was an abusive bastard and did not deserve my friend (Don't get me started on that worthless human). Although because of him, I was able to meet her!! 1 good thing came from it. DS6 was supposed to be in the wedding but it didn't work out. She is so understanding!! I am just so excited about today for her and her man! I get to go celebrate her happy day with her.

DD8 will be going to a birthday party while we are gone to the wedding. Her lil friend is now 7!! She is excited about going! DS9's soccer coach will be picking him up to take him to Pensacola to the soccer game and DS6 has a game here in Navarre. DD8 is just gonna hang with me today until I drop her off for the party!

I think that is everything today. Such a range of emotions today!!

Have you ever noticed....

Life tends to take us on funny courses no matter what we have planned. It takes us down certain roads just to make us turn around and head a different direction even w/o our knowledge or our consent. the struggles and heartache we face only makes us stronger but the pain is hard to bear. Pain is temporary and Pride is forever. Embrace the course that God has planned for you, it may not be what you want, but He does.

 

this was my status message in FB....I hope the person I have in mind while typing this knows that no matter what, she has a lot of people supporting her.

It really does warm your heart to see so many come together to support and to defend 1 person in their time of need.
