Grrrrr.....

I tell you my boys are in soooooo deep when I get home from work tonight!!!!
 
Earlier Lee calls me at work and asks if they can go swimming...his friends mom will take and pick up...I say NO, so of course he gets all huffy and says fine and hangs up the phone. (let me tell you...boys are just as moody as girls when they don't get there way!)  So about 10 minutes later I am standing in my bosses office and I can hear my phone ringing..I knew this because his office is in our office but has doors and none of the other ladies were picking up there phones so you know where I am going with this..pretty soon I hear my cell phone ringing..now no one calls me on my cell phone during work hours so I just know it is him..so I start heading back to my desk and the phone starts ringing..it is LEE!!  I informed that if I don't answer my work phone the first time than obviously I am not at my desk which means leave me a message and I will return your call as soon as I can.  He asked again if they could go swimming and his mouthy little friend is in the background making all kinds of comments about the weather and such which really pissed me off..so needless to say as much as I want to cream him right now..I let them go..but they are grounded once they get home. 
 
What parent lets there kids go have fun first than grounds them...I guess that would be me..what a loser I am!!
 
The weather here has just been awful..like I should complain summers use to consist of every day being so hot and humid and we get two whole days of and I am complaining.  It looks like we are suppose to get some rain this evening which would be good..it will either cool it off a bit or make it more humid.
 
Well the work day is almost over...so I should get the last of my things done before heading home!!

I am such a bum!!

I tell you...I need to get a torch lit under my buddox!!  I have been in the I don't really care about anything once I get home from work and I do absolutely nothing..now the weekends are getting to be just as bad.  I think I need the kids to start school again so I have my old routine and know that I must get the laundry done because Lee will not be there during the day to do it and just all those little things that I have normally have to accomplish during the school year when they are busy with homework at night and I have to be there for them.  Summer is making me feel like I am not needed except to drive them around.  And of course with an almost teenager in the house I am assuming it only gets worse with him not needing me to help him with stuff.  Now look I just went and got myself all depressed..bah.
 
Lets try to lighten the mood a bit.  On saturday we went shopping..they had Crazy Days at the mall..so we now have new tenny runners for school and then went over and got the boys a total of 11 new shirts and Riley got 2 new shirts for school,  so now we just need to work on pants..of course the way my boys wear there shirts so big..they probably don't need any!!  Wouldn't they just love me for that one!! haha
 
Well not really too much happening with me because I am too lazy to do anything, but ya know such is life!!  Have a great day!

Kiss

Taken from Sugar-Britches:
 
entrancing
You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming.  Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.

What kind of kiss are you?

Guilt

You know kids are so good at making you feel guilty and especially my daughter Riley!! Riley is my only child that has ever made me feel guilty about working full time which in turn stuck them at a babysitters all day. Since she has been in school full time she hasn't complained because than she only went for an hour in the morning and was cool with it, but now this summer she is the only one that is going to daycare and does not like it. She was begging me lastnight to please take a day off so that she can stay home..she doesn't like the Y...she doesn't like anyone that goes there..and she doesn't like me for going to work!! Felt kind of shitty after that one..but I just told her that we didn't have much choice if she wanted us to be able to have to money to buy things for them. That is about all it took!!

Lastnight our neighborhood lost power for about a hour..so darn it we had to eat out! haha After we finally got our power back and were all getting comfortable for the night watching some tv..than the cable went out..just was not my night.

I guess it has been awhile!!

I have been trying to get the time to atleast post something but just have not found the time.

Last weekend was so busy with the 4th of July happenings that I did not make it on to post anything. Friday we went down to the bandshell and watched my dad in the passing of the colors..which I thought was really neat to watch and then we walked home..Tim and the kids went down later to watch the fireworks from there and my dad came over to our house so him and I just sat outside and watched them from here. Saturday we did fireworks at our house and had a nailpainting party with red, white, and blue polish of course!! I painted flags on my nails and then got creative with Riley's..they are so cool though. On the 4th we went to the parade and then down where they were having all of the festivities and got our fill of junk food and later went back down to watch the fireworks. Riley who is almost 9 watched fireworks outside with all of us for the first time..we would usually just go sit in a parking lot near where they were doing the fireworks and she would sit in the car the whole time..but not this year..she braved it with us. So needless to say there was not much time for posting.

It has just been nuts at work this week..which of course always happens after a holiday. The girl that does payroll was on vacation so I got stuck taking care of her job and mine for part of the week. I use to do payroll and then switched to a different position 3 years ago..now I know why I switched!! haha

My sister was in town this weekend so I had my dad, sister, niece, and great niece over for supper..Riley and I made lasagna and dinner rolls. She just loves to help me cook when she can and I have learned to have patience. I am kind of a control freak and want to do things my way..but I have to just chill and let her help because it is wonderful quality time for the two of us.

Hopefully I'll get my stuff together and start posting more regularly..but I guess we will see!!

It is almost over!!!

Tomorrow is finally Friday and I decided to only work half the day..so I will be off for the long weekend at 11:30am!! YEA!!

Today Riley went with the Y to the Twins game..hopefully they got out of there losing streak for today atleast!! You know the only thing she was really looking forward to was getting a hot dog and a pop..she is not into sports like her brothers.

I think that Lee is ready for the week of babysitting to be over and that is another reason that I took half a day tomorrow so I can help him out with Miss Brookie.

Tomorrow night all of our towns 4th festivities begin so we are going to go to the concert in the park..mainly because my dad is in the color guard with the American Legion and they are Posting the Colors and leading the event in the Pledge of Allegiance..so that will be cool to watch. I think Saturday we will just make it a lazy day and then Sunday off to the parade and downtown for some really healthy food and games for the kids. It is so great having something to do on the weekends..but why does it always have to cost soooo much!!

Ya know I read a bunch of blogs everyday and I would love to be able to add some to my page..but cannot figure out how to do this..can anyone out there help me?? If so that would be great!
