Whew, I thought this long weekend would never come to an end. It has been a great weekend, but I'm ready for everything to go back to normal...as normal as it gets around here anyway.
My brain is going 100 miles per hour with things that I was going to write about, but now...I am drawing a blank. Ugh. I hate that. Maybe that is my minds way of telling to get off the computer and do some stuff around this house, which has been neglected all weekend, but what fun is that? I have started on some things, well, 1...LAUNDRY, and I am sure the only reason I have started on that is because both kids have ball games tonight and Keigan's uniform shirt needed to be washed, so that, along with some of their school clothes is in the washer now, which I think just finished. I will put them in the dryer soon, but what I really need to do it clean the kitchen and dining room, but I really do not feel like cleaning around Dawson while he working on his project for school. I have a feeling he is going to make a bigger mess so there is no need to clean yet.
Speaking of this project, I am not really sure what the hell he is suppose to be doing, other than making a continent and then dividing it into 7 and doing some sort of land forms or something, be has a leaf or 2 from the tree outside, some grass, and some ground cloves....that is going to be his desert? Should be very interesting. I know my house smells like ground cloves, which smell like crap! I will try to take a picture of it when he is finished and post it.
OMG, I swear my son is not the brightest color in the box. He just put AX Body Spray in his nose because "the deserts stink."
Anyway, I guess I will get off of here and do something productive....maybe.

Easter....since when is it like Christmas?
Ugh, so it is yet another holiday weekend, and we have a lot going on.
Thursday, Dawson had a baseball game, and they played a really good game, and seen some horrible sportsman ship from the other team. I hope they learned from it, because some of the boys on Dawson's team exhibit some of the same traits, Dawson included! I missed the first game of the season because I was out of town for a wedding, but they did win that game and then they got on a bad streak. Don't really know what the deal was, but the last couple of games they have really stepped up their game and started doing a lot better. Dawson plays 3rd base, most of the time, but he has pitched in a couple of games as well. (I think he needs to stick to 3rd base until he can get some pitching lessons...from a pro) but he does pretty good for a short while. Then he gets freaked out and it is all down hill from there. Anyway, Thursday's game, he got a couple of good hits, got hit by the pitcher once, and stole 2nd, and even scored. He made some good plays, had a run down with the catcher trying to keep a kid from scoring, and he got the last out of the game. It was great.
Friday, (today) Keigan had softball practice. She is really getting a lot better and really loves the game. She has her moments, but all in all, she LOVES it. She wishes more people would come see her game, but she'll be alright. lol.
Anyway, now to my point of this posting tonight....We just went to Wal-mart to get the kiddos a couple of things for Easter and you would have thought it was freaking Christmas in that crazy store. Some people really go off the deep end with this stuff. Seeing as we are trying to limit the kids sugar intake, we did not buy a whole mess of candy. Yes, we did get them some candy, but we also figured they would be getting candy from other places as well, so...instead, we bought each of them a little basket to put their little bit of candy in, and got each of them something that they have been asking for. Dawson will get a new headset for the X-BOX (because he is a game dork) and Keigan will get a new case for her iPod. She has been asking for an OtterBox for it since she got it, but HELLO, I am not spending that much money on a silly little Easter gift. She will love the one that we got her, and maybe one day she will get the OtterBox. HaHaHa.
I did see a lot of people buying insane amounts of things for their kids, and I could not help but think to myself, "these people are idiots" and I know maybe that is wrong, but I can't help it. Of course my kids are just as spoiled a many others in this world, but really? For Easter? It seems like all holidays are about anymore is MONEY. Maybe it is just me, but.... Hell, the only holiday I really like Halloween. Lol. If I wasn't so disgusted with myself, I would still get me a cute costume and go trick-or-treating my damn self.
Oh well, I really need to get off of here. It is 12:20 in the morning and I have to get up early. I have a ton of stuff to do in the morning. Bob is already sound asleep on the couch and frankly, I over his snoring for now. Lol.
Good Night,
ME

No clue what the hell I am doing anymore....
So I was going to start a new blog, because either I am apparently too dumb to figure out how to change the name of this one, or you just simply can't change the name. Anyway, so I did start the new blog. Posted a link to it, and now I have decided I like this one, mostly because it is already all the colors that I want and all that good stuff. So, if you are keeping up, keep up with this one. I can not make any promises, but I am going to try to keep up with blogging more. I miss it. Back when MySpace was cool, I blogged all the time.....I guess we shall see what happens.

MOVED.....well....moving
Yay! We finally got our own place, and it is out of Dayton. That in it's self is exciting. We are still in the process of moving though, seeing as I have jacked up my back pretty bad, and it has just been Bob and I moving everything for the most part.
I love the new place, although, I must admit, it is a little nerve racking, and stressful starting all over, and venturing out on our own. We probably picked the worst time of year to move, but oh well. I guess we will manage. We had to buy a lot of stuff, and then Christmas on top of it, but moving took priority, so...Christmas is going to be cut short. We will make it up with income tax...maybe.
I am looking for some sort of job, maybe part time or something. Just to have play money pretty much, until work picks up for Bob. I am trying to get hooked up with a work from home job like a good friend of mine has. That would be perfect for me. We shall see what happens.
Both of the kids are pretty excited about the new place, and both are excited, but scared at the same time, about starting a new school. They are used to going to schools that only have 2 grades in them, or in Dawson's case this year, 1 grade. After the Christmas break they will be going to schools that are K-5 and 6-8. Huge difference. Maybe they will be able to make friends easy. I am sure they will, I just hope they do not become the subject of bullying. I really do not want to have to go through hell with a new school district.
I have not withdrawn them from Dayton yet, because apparently that is an all day process. So, when school starts back up from the break, Dawson will go to school in Dayton for 1 day, and while he at school I will check Keigan out and then go check him out. That way he can be at his class party that apparently got put off for some reason. I don't know.
Anyway, I am taking a break from organizing the house, and I am watching Teen Mom2 with Keigan and figures I would post something seeing as I have not done so in a while. I keep telling myself that I need to post more often, but I just don't ever make myself.
Oh yeah, we have an Elf On The Shelf. Her name is Stormy, after my mom, and she was living in our new home they day that we got the keys. Keigan found the book in the kitchen and then found the elf hanging from her light in her bedroom. So far our elf has not played any tricks, just simply moves each night. So far she has not forgotten to move. Thank God! LOL! I think maybe she will play a trick soon. We did get a late start with the tradition, seeing as it was well after Thanksgiving that we got her, and not to mention that Keigan is 8 years old now, and though she says that she believes in Santa, surely she doesn't, but either way, I am not going to tell her, and she likes to play along and so as long as she has fun with it, I will continue to do it. This is something that she can pass along to her kids, and Dawson will be able to do the same with his kids. I should have bought 2 of the dang things. Maybe I will buy another one next year for Dawson. I dunno.
Until next time....

Punk Kids!
Today has not been such a good day. It damn sure was not the day I expected it to be...sitting around the house playing my stupid games on Facebook, and doing laundry.
I do not want to sound raciest, because I am not, but a few months ago some mexicans moved out here next door to us, (on my old property) and every since then things have been happening to my stepdads 18 wheeler. We couldn't prove anything so nothing was ever said or done about it. A week or so ago, my stepdad said something to the kids about riding their go-kart through the yard and doing donuts in the driveway slinging rocks all over the yard and tearing up the driveway. 2 weeks ago, my aunt that lives across the street had an iPhone and about 8 packs of cigarettes come up missing out of her house. No cops were called, a big deal was not made of it. They replaced the phone, bought more cigarettes and said none of the kids were allowed back in her house, other than family. Well, they decided to let these kids back in their house, give them the benefit of the doubt about the first iPhone being stolen and not being able to prove who stole it, they were allowed back in, but only under adult supervision. After my aunt made everybody leave and later they all went to bed, these kids went back in the house took 487 dollars out of her purse, a Nintendo DS, a remote control helicopter, cigarettes, and ice cream out of the freezer. When I found all this out, I walked across the street and my aunt was there in the front yard with all these kids, one of their parents, and trying to get the cops to come back out there but could not get anybody to answer at the Sheriff's office. I called the cops, got someone to answer and had the deputy come back out to the house that had already been out there to make the initial report. Let me say also that there were 3 kids involved. 2 white kids, only one that lives out here, the other lives in a different city, and the mexican boy. Before the deputy could get back out here the mexican boy who denied having anything to do with going into the house and taking anything or having any of the stolen property, was slowly but surely giving everything back. The only thing that was not being given back was the last 2 hundred dollars and the iPhone 3. Well, my aunt said that if she got EVERYTHING back, that she would not press charges and that is when the mexican boy when in his house and got the last 2 hundred dollars and gave it back. The iPhone was still missing and nobody was giving it back. The white kids from Mont Belvieu was saying the mexican kid had, and the mexican kid was saying that he did not have it. Once the cop got there and handcuffed the white kid that lives out here, the mexican fessed up as to where the phone was. The cop put cuffs on the mexican and stuffed him in the car too. Scaring the shit out of these kids. Well, the white kid anyway. About this time, Bob calls me. He was at lunch at work and seen his gas door thingy looked funny and so he opened it up and it was full of sugar. He had me check my car, and it was full of sugar too. Thank God I had not started my car. The deputy called in and had the dispatcher make him another call sheet for criminal mischief. He drove to my house to look at my car and get that report going, with these kids in the back seat of the cop car, in hopes that the camera in the car would catch them talking about the damage to my car. My aunt didn't press charges on anybody because she got all of her stuff back, and I could not press charges because we had no proof that these punk ass kids did that to my car. I left with my stepdad in his truck to take him to pick up his work truck and then when we got back to the house, he decided to look at his boat and it is destroyed as well. I have to call the deputy back out here in the morning so that he can take pictures of everything and add it to the case.
So, I am worn out, stressed to the max and I have not even given any thought to dinner, and I am starving!!!

Is it really Thanksgiving already?
Yeah so it has been a while since I have posted. I guess I just have not really had anything to say, or maybe I have just been too busy playing those stupid games on Facebook, to even worry or care about posting? Who knows?
So not, Thanksgiving is only a few day away. This is of no importance to me what so ever. Is that mean? I do not like the traditional feast, so I opt for Jack in the Box. I have never liked it. Well, I do like my Aunt Rosana's ham, but that is about it.
Then, after Thanksgiving....my very least favorite holiday....Christmas. I have not been a fan of Christmas for probably the last 13 years or so. I am not really sure why, but it just got worse when I had children of my own. That sounds so silly, but I ALWAYS had a great Christmas when I was a kid. It was my moms FAVORITE time of the year, and she shopped ALL YEAR. I guess that is why I always such a great Christmas. She was not waiting until this time of year to be out getting gifts, and spending so much money at once. I am positive this is the reason. I have said many times, I am going to start doing that, but....I never do. I will make a vow to myself to start doing it this year. We shall see how it goes. HAHA.
I am a little more excited that normal about December getting here, but that is because we are moving. The bad part, well, not that it is bad, but still, I do not want to live in Baytown. I do not want my kids in Baytown schools, but that is probably where we are moving to. Either way, I am beyond excited about getting out on our own. Things are not really bad where we are right now, but that could change any moment, and it is just time.
Umm, whatelse?....................I am thinking about going back to school. I have a few things in mind, but we shall see how it works out. We are also planning to take the kids on a cruise in September. I am pretty excited about that, even though it is a year away.
Well, I am pretty sleepy. Haven't been sleeping well at all. Keep thinking about things that we need when we move, moving, new schools, etc. Not to mention, our mattress SUCKS and we need a new one.
Short, random, and I am going to bed. <3
