I am officially...

The mother of a *GASP*, dare I say it... evil being TEENAGER! How in the HELL did that happen? I'm convinced I am dreaming.. I'm not old enough for this.

My oldest boy, Kyle, turned 13 yesterday. We had a pretty nice weekend, Saturday we traveled 70 miles up north to attend a county fair with some friends who lived up there and went out to eat afterwards. And Sunday, the 2 older boys spent the afternoon with my mom and we had a nice birthday dinner for Kyle. He chose lasagna, so we had that with salad and garlic bread. And Chocolate cake with raspberry filling for dessert.. plus ice cream.

I have a few pics.. as many to be expected with a child who has NO clue how to smile naturally... once when he was about 5, I told him to smile and when the picture came out he looked like a miniature Elvis.

Rock Wall at the fair-

Birthday Gifts-

Cake- The child doesn't really like basketball.. it's just all that was left ready to go at the store that wasn't pink or for a little kid lol. It tasted good though.

I am SO excited for tomorrow's New Release day! It's been a whole 2 weeks since I submitted soomething new and this week I am out in full force! I would LOVE to show you BUT alas, I cannot. I can, however, tease you with a sneak peek :)

Gotta Love Him!

Ok, I don't know how many of you out there are country fans, but even if you aren't you can surely appriciate this song by Brad Paisley. I just adore his songs.. especially the funny ones. Awhile back he did one called "Celebrity" which totally applies to the recent paris Hilton/Nicole Richie/Lindsay Lohan dramas, cracks me up every time I hear it. But this new one called "Online" is so fabulous that I just HAD to share. I really wanted it on my Myspace but it's not available yet :( I did find a video someone made for a contest I think, on Youtube.com.

Here are the lyrics as well so you can follow along with the video.






I work down at the Pizza Pit
And I drive an old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm 5 foot 3 and overweight
I'm a scifi fanatic
A mild asthmatic
And I've never been to second base
But there's whole ‘nother me
That you need to see
Go checkout MySpace

'Cause online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati
I'm a black-belt in karate
And I love a good glass of wine

It turns girls on that I’m mysterious
I tell them I don't want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way Chat with two women at one time I’m so much cooler online
So much cooler online

When I get home I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
And I head down to my basement bedroom And fire up my Mac
In real life the only time I’ve ever even been to L.A
Is when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose ParadeOnline

I live in Malibu
I pose for Calvin Klein, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I've got a set of six pack abs that would blow your mind
It turns girls on that I’m mysterious

I tell them I don't want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way Chat with two women at one time I’m so much cooler online
So much cooler online
When you got my kind of stats
It’s hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot and I lose a bunch of weight
Every time I login
Online

I’m out in HollywoodI’m 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day
I could have a three way Chat with two women at one time I’m so much cooler online

Yeah, I’m cooler online
I’m so much cooler online
Yeah, I’m cooler online
Yeah, I’m cooler online
Yeah, I’ll see ya online

Conversations with a 6 yr old....

6 yr old: "Mom can we have a dog?"

Me: "No we can't have a dog."

6 yr old: (implied whining) "Why?????"

Me: "We have enough pets."

6 yr old: "We don't have ANY pets!"

Me: "What do you think you are?"

6 yr old: "I'm a kid!!!"

Me: (laughing) "But I have to feed you, clean up after you, love you, and exercise you right?"

6 yr old: "yeah....."

Me: "well then...."



**Disclaimer- In no way shape or form do I treat my children like animals, even if they do act like them from time to time**

I'm skeeerd!

Greyson went to bed in underwear tonight **eek**!!

He has been sick lately, not sure what it is, but it caused a little set back when he was wearing the pull-ups and then he started refusing the pull-ups so we went to undies full time. Hence, why he's wearing them to bed. He's doing SO good, I am so glad the last one has been so easy!

Watch, now that I've said that.. lol.

I bit the bullet.. I bought the bag!

I DID IT!!! I bought the laptop tote *I* wanted yay me! If you missed it before.. here it is:

Even though I was nervous about spending so much money, I am proud of myself for buying what I wanted and not settling for something bland and boring because it was cheaper or free.

I could have gotten a nice black Super Tote for "free", and by free I mean I have survey points saved up on one of my survey sites and one of the prize options was a tote for "the woman on the go" and it was pretty nice. However, I'm not a woman on the go.. I'm a woman digi-scrapping on her couch lol. And I would have kicked myself later because it wasn't what I wanted.

So yay for me!

Didn't you know? It's like having a newborn again!

*DUH* Just smack me in the forehead now.

Potty Training is going pretty well.. Greyson now refuses to wear pull-ups and only wants "Big Boy Undies", great! except he isn't quite night-trained. Yesterday, we had a short outing and decided to try it in undies and not a pull-up and he did great!

He stayed dry overnight last night.. however, he woke up twice to go potty. So, I woke up to "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, I gotta go POOOOTTTTTTTYYYYYY!" at 1 and 4 am. I'm thinking, "Dude, the gate is not up and the bathroom is right there.." and then I remember.. oh wait he's 3 and don't you know 3 yr olds have to announce everything.. so do 4 yr olds hence the "hehehe I farted" comments followed by incessant giggling 10x a day. And it's not like you can ignore the announcements because if you even think about trying, they just get louder lol.

Umm do I have anything else to blog about.. hmm I can't think of anything. If I do, you can be sure you'll be hearing from me lol. Kind of an abrupt ending but I'm having a mommy moment.. you know the ones when your brain goes to mush and oozes out of your ear? Yeah, that's the one lol.

The EyeBrow Incident of 2007

Sorry it took me so long to get a pic of this.. but here is one for you, as promised.







As you can see, the one side is starting to grow back a little bit lol. But now he looks permanently angry.. unless of course he's smiling like he is here lol.

On another note.. Im sure you have noticed but my bloggy got a little makeover! I have Pamela Gibson to thank for that, she did a fab job with it! Thanks again Pamela!!
