How Long Does This Last?

I have to say I've been itching to get here....literally! This but I've had has lasted forever and the kids are just going back and forth with it. The best part of all is the pink eye! Yes, the dreaded "what's wrong with your eye" thing to "that's highly contagious" comment is about all I've heard. I can't even tell you how many of us have/had it! All I know for sure is that the little ones are the hardest to get the drops in. I feel like a pro wrestler holding them down with precise aim not to waste one half of a drop! The bottles the drug companies make sure aren't the size they were years ago when there was so much you had to throw them away when expired. Now it's like the Maxwell House coffee commercial...............GOOD TO THE LAST DROP as you giggle the bottle around to make sure you get all your treatments in.



So since Ive been sick I've had more time on my butt, except for when the kids are running me, which is about the same. Anyway, I had to share a couple of things I've been up to to improve on this thing I've been calling my life or organized mass confusion!

I downloaded Suze Orman's book Women and Money and wow it confirms what I really should be doing! I'm on the first month and so I'll be quite slower than I had hope since I've also picked up Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth I heard about on Oprah. So since I have to go one month at a time and be at the LIve Classroom Event by March 3rd I'll just have to get kicking on the self help book and keep up my pace on the "safe plan" book in the middle! To be continued.....;)

What Kind of Bug is This?

What a drag...again! Another bug has stormed our home and it's left me sleepless for over a week. The reason I haven't blogged, opened emails, slept and....did I say I haven't slept? OMG...at what point to you just fall over? I'd take sleep over money, food....you name it. Now I know how to torture the kids next time they don't listen. I could ground them to NO SLEEP! They'd love it for about the first night I'm sure but then I'd probably have them doing anything I want! Hummmm...I'm going to think about this a bit more! That's another thing about this bug. It makes you delirious! I could be on to something if I can figure out how to control the place by sleep deprivation. Is that considered child/spousal abuse? I think it's worth a shot only if to get the house cleaned!

Big Brother AGAIN!!!! ;)

I cannot tell you how happy I am that Big Brother 9 is on! I'm so an addict. Does this make me nose, strategic or just jealous I can't be locked up for months with stangers to eat, sleep and fight just like at home!
Not sure why but I've always wanted to go in that house not just for the money but to really see how well i could do living with all walks of life. The scamming and cheating would certainly get on my nerves but since it's not real and it ends when you leave the house, unlike home where you still have to live with those people, I think I could handle it. Being a vegetarian the peanut butter would please me as long as it was fresh and no one left the lid off!
The only reason i can't even give it a thought is I'd miss my kids and pets so much I'd have to smuggle them in....not to mention a few other things!!
What about gas? How would I handle that one? I don't mind burping around anyone......why my dad and brother said I was "so ladylike" and then laugh and ask me if I smelled something......or my brother would tell me I love that smell. What a sicko...I think he still does that.
Not sure how I will balance this with 5 kids during school season but we'll see. Every year I watch less and less of the live feed but I have some wonderful friends out there from past Big Brother Years. We all meet up, when I have time since they are all "parked" there, in MIRC and have a great site set up to stick together. I'll have to fill you in some day on who is who but you can go to bbfans and check them out yourself! BTW...those pics are old so I really don't know what we all look like anymore but what a great bunch. We are all ages, all walks of life but mostly, you can miss months and still feel part of the pack. Tell me where else you find that nowadays!!!!!

HELP!! I'm out numbered!

I seriously thought I had it all under control today. Almost all my boxes of pictures and keepsakes from my sisters to my mom's stuff I accumulated was just about packed away or organized so I could get back to some stucture around here again. At least enough structure that I'd get more than 4 hours of sleep a night. That's 4 hours that are interrupted......it's all broken up. So you can imagine as I sat on the couch to make doctor checkup appointments, dentist appointments and putting other spoken for dates in my planner when I asked Terra to run up and make sure Lana Jean wasn't into anything. Yesterday she climbed out of her baby bed into Brandy's baby bed to tear down the mobile, throw out the digital camera and God only knows what she did to my computer. I had it all hidden there in the case she got out of her bed and was snooping AGAiN! I call her my "Prowler" since she finds, seizes and hides somewhere to engineer! Anyway, Terra took her time getting up the steps to check so by the time I got there she had her diaper off and had wet in the bed. She always takes her diaper off and runs around laughing....knowing she won, again. I've put them on backwards and even taped them to her. FYI....they aren't wet or soggy! I don't know what to do! I know someone has had this happen before me! Help!!!!
Now I'm back to being behind on the laundry, no appointments, planner is empty and the kitchen still has those ugly orange containers on my counter.

My Paper Trail

Oops I did it again. It wasn't my fault! Alyssa has a field trip to go on this Friday. It's the dentist and God knows she's been there before so it wasn't really exciting at first since she's had some work done and even a tooth pulled. Anyway, I forgot to send in the permission form and had it all ready to go out today so I wouldn't get my 2nd notice, especially since my neighbor had to pick her up for me today, but I did! But it wasn't my fault, teacher! Really! I had the paper out, ready to go when Brandy started screaming in her highchair as Tannah was getting her homeschooling going when my aunt called and wanted to pick up her Arbonne Eye Repair Creme and Lana was ready for her nap and couldn't wait! I knew she had to go then since she spit the last part of her hotdog out so Diva, the pomeranian could eat them and get diahrea for the next 3 days! Really, do you think it was my fault I didn't get that paper in today? i don't know how it slipped my mind! So my neighbor brings, oh gosh I don't know how many papers she's had to "resend" me so I can get this poor kid to the dentist.....to show her what they do at the dentist....LOL I think I'll be using that present I got for Mothers Day last year for Moon Stone Spa! I need a break!
BTW......I got the paper in her book bag signed and ready to go! He He!

Hanna Montana Movie Concert ;)

So I took the girls, the older ones, to see Hannah Montana! Woohoo, talk about fun...no, really! I really enjoyed the show and would do it all again. Well worth the money. I would have watched it twice if I could have but you would have thought it was the Beatles with those little girls and all their goodies in the theatre. Some were even dancing and singing and some even came in limos. I thought maybe Miss Cyrus was inside when i first pulled up. Anyway, it was really something fun the older girls and i could do together and that we did! Hey, check out Billy here at Biggs a VERY LONG time ago!! LOL

BB..tried to post, black out someone I don't know in the picutre and deleted....remember kids, MULTITASKING NEVER WORKS!!!
