Sunday......day of rest my ass.

Mike picked up Chris and Eddie yesterday. They are going to their cousins for the weekend. So its just me, Paul and Dylan. Nothing interesting to report. Went to Kelli and Tims for a little while. Jackie rented X2 and we borrowed it. I slow mo'ed the part where Hugh (wolverine) is naked but didn't see anything. He either has a bikini on or they did a good job of hiding him in the shadows. I didn't see anything flopping around when he was running :( After Paul finishes watching it for the second time I need to take it back to Blockbuster and then I am going to Jackies to do laundry.

Morning all :)

Its the day after Turkey day and my apartment is a mess, still. I can not get or keep this place clean with 5 boys running in and out. The kitchen got clean enough to cook, but its a mess again. Still need to finish the dishes. And the real shocker.....no one was here to make the mess but me. Its just from me cooking all day.

Can I forget that yesterday even happened?? It sucked!!!! Woke up to Paul bitching about the apartment and how I can't get the boys to help out. (correction, I threaten them to get them to help but they do half ass jobs when they do.) He gave me the speech about working all week and how he should have a clean house, blah, blah, blah. I told him he has been hanging out with Tim too much latley if he is going to start thinking like that. I was in tears. He has been such an ass this week. And then he and the boys went to his sisters for Turkey dinner. I was glad they left. Leave me the hell alone. I got our dinner finished and ate it by myself. I actully got to eat a hot meal and not have to get up and serve something to someone or clean up a spill. Then I took a shower and waited for them to come home. Kelli called around 4 and said that I could come on over for pie. I waited a few more minutes for the boys to come home and then went. I was there an hour before they showed up. Then I spent the time with Paul pawing all over me like nothing is wrong and making sure the boys are behaving (they did thank gawd). Around 7 everyone started heading home and Kelli asked me to ride with her to take another friend home. She wanted to cheer me up with some herbal help 8) Gawd did it help me relax!!! Got home around 8 and feed the boys and put the food away. Kelli and Tim wanted us to come back over and play Trivial Pursuit but I didn't want to spend anymore time with Paul. He kept making snide comments all day about this or that and I was worried I would just jump up and kick his ass in front of friends. Kelli understood. She saw what an ass he was being. Thank gawd he had to work today.

Which leads me to today. I still have to clean house. Its never ending with 5 boys. Trey and Vince go home tonight. I need to do all the laundry, finish the dishes, vacuum, sweep, mop and argue with the boys to get their room clean. No shopping for me today......you couldn't pay me enough to get me out there.

TTFN :)

Day before Turkey day.

I need to make the pies. Apple and a chocolate pecan. Need to make sure the turkey is thawed. Its been in the fridge since Saturday and still alittle frozen.

Dylan, unknowingly, drew a picture of Charlie Brown this morning. He was drawing a face and Vince looked over and said it looked like CB. Sure enough it did!! Trey had to add a squigly line for his hair. Just wish my scanner worked so I can show it off. LOL

Clark falls asleep in the weirdest place/positions. He has slept in his food bowl and last night fell asleep cleaning himself. LOL He had a back leg stretched over his head, ala Bill the Cat. It was sooooo funny.

Well nothing else to report for now.......BBL.

Morning :) Hold on...need more coffee.

Ok, better now.

We put the tree up last night. I went and bought lights. We pulled out the tree and realized we didn't have the stand for it. Paul, "Well theres another thing my brother has to pay us back for". He is finally upset about it!!! So anywho I had to go back out and buy a tree stand. The tree leans a little but you can only notice if you look at it from one direction. Now that its up, I want to take it down. Its just depressing me. Its not "my" tree, not the same one I have loved for years.

X2 comes out today. I was going to go get but since I had to spend extra on the tree stand it will have to wait till next week. Maybe Kelli or Jackie will rent it and I can borrow it.

Paul got more info about his Christmas party.....buffet with red snapper, prime rib and chicken marsala with an open bar and entertainment provided by Claudio. I still need to find some shoes to wear. I have a skirt and blouse I can wear. I need to figure out something to do with my hair. I'm growing it out and it looks hidious.

I'm ready for the kids to go back to school. Why do they need a week off for Thanksgiving?? When I was in school we had 3 days off.

Kids are home and I have been busy. 3 loads of laundry, dishes are almost done, floor has been swept, made a CD for big Kayla, have had kids coming in and out of my door all day.

Its cold today. Its 50 degrees right now. Suppose to get down in the 30's tonight. I'm still in shorts. :) I'm going to make a big pot of chili for dinner

Clark is doing good. He is right now asleep on Chris. Lana has become very attached to me. If she is not in my lap she is asleep on my bed.

My apartment is a mess. Living room looks like a bomb went off......and its been clean twice today. Boys!!!

Paul is working late this week to make up for not getting paid holidays. Can't wait for this probation period to be over.

Oh, I almost forgot. I got a credit card in the mail today. Not much of a limit but its there for emergencies. This week would count as an emergency. Nothing critical, just running low on funds.

Well I'm off to do more dishes. TTFN :)

Quote of the day: "You will respect my authority" Cartman

Well I went and got our new kitty. Surprise.....she is a he!!! Chloe is now Clark. Turns out Jackie (my friend who helped me rescue momma kitty before she had the kittens) changed her mind on which kitty she wanted. She chose the one I picked out. No biggie, she did put up with momma kitty and 6 kittens. She didn't have to. (love ya Jackie) So I picked Clark. He is soooo cute. Right now he is mostly black on his back with grey stripes on his face, legs and belly. Paul is his buddy. He is sleeping on Paul right now. Lana took to him better than we thought. I brought her in my room when he was sleeping and she checked him out, sniffed him, hissed, growled, sniffed some more, and then watched him sleep. She has not let him out of her sight since. I took lots of pictures of the 2 of them together. They are so cute. I love my kitties.

Pauls brother called us back. He said we should have come and got the decorations when we had the chance and he donated the rest, it was an accident. WTF???????????? Makes no sense to me and he can kiss my big white ass!!!!! Soooooooooo I guess I get to go shopping.

Oh, Clarks full name is Clark Smeagol Kitwhy. He has Smeagol's eyes. LOL

Just keep baking....just keep baking.....baking, baking, baking.

Whats up y'all??? How is everyone doing today? I still feel like crap but I will live. I am cleaning and baking today. I am soooo tempted to have Paul put the tree up but we don't have the lights for it so I guess we will wait. My new kitty is ready to come home but she will have to wait also. Lana doesn't like Trey and Vince for some reason and I don't want to stress her out more by bringing home Chloe. (see a theme here with the names? LOL Now we just need a boy kitty and name him Clark.)

Well I looked thru my decorations and know for sure what is missing. Paul finally called his brother but he isn't home. I'm guessing he and family are gone for the holiday. As far as I can tell I have all the ornaments. YAY!!!! Just missing everything else.

I have a huge zit on my jaw. It hurts!!

Well back to kneading my buns.

Just posting something to see if changes have been made....ignore :P

What is with me lately? Ever since the time change I have not been able to sleep past 6am. I get up this morning to Eddie laying on the couch with an earache. I give him some meds and send him back to bed. Now Dylan and Vince are up watching Power Rangers (Go go Power Rangers).

I feel a little better than I have been all week. I need to get better. I have all the boys this week and the apartment is already a mess. I hate being sick, nothing gets done unless I do it.

So I guess todays plan (if I have the energy) is to clean the whole apartment, go grocery shopping, start some baking and maybe have Paul put the tree up. He also needs to go work on the car. I'm soooooooo tired of crawling in thru the passenger side. (For some reason the drivers side door does not want to open). I feel like I am driving a clown car.

Aaaaaaaccchhhooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm scared to look thru my Christmas decorations. I know I am missing ALOT of them. When we moved out of MIL's condo we left all our holiday decorations because we had no room to store them right away. Well BIL took it apon himself to move them to his house and in the process "lost" our Christmas village, our stockings, the tree skirt, Advent calender, Angel and lights. All we got back from him was 1 box of ornaments and the tree. I still haven't brought myself to look thru the box of ornaments. If I am missing keepsake ornaments, all hell will break loose!!!!!

Paul's mom and sis keep calling asking and begging us to come to Thanksgiving dinner at their house. Why can't they take no for an answer?? They say they want us to come so they can see Trey and Vince, that they only see them once a year. Bullshit!!!! We live 10 minutes from them, they know how to get intouch with us. They know how to drive in their car and come see them. We already have plans but want us to drop our plans for them. I don't think so.

Until I get my decorations back, I will have nothing to do with that family. Until they start treating me and my boys like a part of their family, they can all kiss my ass.

Thats why I make my own family. Friends are my family. I am going to spend this Thanksgiving with my family. After we have lunch/dinner here we are going to Kelli's for dessert. Kelli is making a pecan pie, Jackie is bringing a pumpkin pie and I will bring the apple pie. I think I will make some cookies for those that don't do pie.

Morning :)

I have no voice. It left me sometime in the night. When I talk I growl. It doesn't sound pretty.

I'm still reeling from last night. Rupert was voted off and Romano was squished like a bug on a rug. It definitly was Must See TV!! I hate how we will have to wait till Christmas for a new eppy and an explanation of Romanos death. And then Rupert is gone. I don't think I can watch Survivor now that he is gone.

MEN!!!! Why are men such babies when they are sick but still expect us to keep working when we are dying in bed?? It never fails.....he gets sick I have to cater to him. I get sick and he can't lift a finger to help.

2 more cast of characters I forgot to add.......
Mike....my ex, the twins dad. He's a good guy. He and his g/f are getting a house in Huffman. He's hoping they can be in it by next weekend.
Maggie (aka the bitch).....Paul's ex and a money hungry bitch.

Hey there. Welcome to my Blog. I am Robin and I will be your tour guide thru my so called life. A little background info might be good.....I'm 34, mom to 3 boys (twins Eddie and Chris who are 11 and Dylan who is 4), wife to Paul, step mom to Trey (13) and Vince(10). *blink blink*

I just remembered.....today is Vince's birthday. He is now in the double digits. Damn these kids are growing up tooooo fast.

Kids......I have all of them next week. Need to get my valium refilled (JK). I shouldn't be too bad. Dylan will spend most of his time at Tyler's. If little Kayla is there Vince will prolly go over there also. Unless they all end up over here. *rolling eyes*

Before I go any further I guess I should explain some more about myself. My brain goes a mile a minute and I may change the subject very often. I'll try to warn you when that happens. I will try to be very honest with myself in this blog. Whatever comes to mind will be posted here.

Cast of characters....
myself
Paul, my husband
the boys
Lana, my cat
friend Kelli, mom to Tyler, Courtney, and Kayla (aka big Kayla), wife to Tim
friend Jackie, mom to Jordan and Kayla (aka lil Kayla), wife to Keith
coming soon....un-named kitty. Should arrive in about 2 weeks.

My day started at 3am with Dylan trying to crawl in bed with us. After 30 minutes of convincing him there is no room in our bed for him, he finally grabbed a baby (one of many stuffed animals) and went back to his bed. 2 1/2 more hours of sleep. Woke up at 6, took a shower, felt better than I have in a few days so I decided to get some laundry going. Got Chris and Dylan up and dressed. While they are eating breakfast watching Digimon, I lugged 4 loads of laundry to the laundry room. Came back and got Chris ready to walk out the door. No fights with him this morning, thank gawd. Jumped online for a few before I walked Dylan to the bus. Stopped to throw clothes in the dryers. Got Eddie up and in the shower. Rest, drank coffee, went back and got clothes out of dryers. Got Eddie dressed, started folding clothes, answered phone. Kelli wants to know if I am coming by for coffee and "Charmed". Of course I am. Walk Eddie to the bus and then go to Kelli's apartment. Watch the last half of "Charmed" and chit chat. Come home to watch "ER" and check emails, forums and play games. I also finished folding clothes.....................

Are you bored yet??? LOL
