I am a pretty laid back person. I deal with my kids craziness and my husbands lack of discipline in the family.
When my kids were little, it was cute for them to go outside in their diapers and play or naked in the little pool in the backyard. Our house was know affectionately as the "naked baby house" by Miss mania's friends.
But, now that they are getting older and know better, they think it's funny to go outside in their underwear.
Today, they were playing outside, on the trampoline, with the hose. Yes, they were soaked. I told them to come in and eat dinner. They come in, eat, change and go back outside. Hubby and I are sitting out back chatting when we see them come out with a shirt and underwear, towards the front yard.
Our backyard is secluded from the street so if they come out there inappropriately dressed, no big deal. It's when they get the bright idea of riding bikes, in the street, with a shirt and underwear. WTF?? I told them to come in and get some shorts on, but NO they proceeded to ride around in underwear, laughing hysterically riding around.
Where did I go wrong people??? Why do my kids torment me? It's anyone's guess.

I got some gas!!
No, not "gas", like pass gas, but gas for my vehicle! That's just gross people, stop it, stop laughing!
I am a little anal, no pun intended, about finding low priced gas. I will totally drive around and look to see who has the cheapest gas prices and memorize which place it is. No, I don't actually drive around, I only check out the places on the route that I drive to work and home. I finally found a place, near my house, that has the cheapest, it's only $3.59 a gallon. That is cheap around here in the beautiful, smog filled Maryland. I love cheap gas, especially since I drive a half hour to work eand home every day! How about you? What's the cheapest gas around you?

I survived
I survived my first day back to work, after being off the entire summer. I like my job, it's never a dull moment working in a High school office. We have so much stuff to do before the kids come back and I am getting ready to deal with the chaos that is the first day of school. I missed that fun part last year because I stared in Oct. It should be interesting to say the least.
I have to say, this summer really sucked ass. That's ok, at least I spend some quality time with the kids. Movie man learned to ride his two wheeler, finally. It took me 3 days to get him to get on the bike, then another 2 days to get him to ride it without falling over. Once, he got the hang of it that was it, he was gone, riding all over the place. It was awesome. He was so proud if himself, which made it even better.

I feel like shit and other stuff
I have been off work the entire summer. It has sucked really bad. We have been soooo poor, I have wondered how we were gonna make it day to day. Because I work for the county schools, I didn't get paid this summer, I will, next summer though, thank goodness.
So, I am starting work tomorrow! Man, I am really happy to start getting paid, but I can't help but feel sick to my stomach, anxious and paniky to go back. Apparently, I don't like change very much. I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety anyway but have basically controlled it. Today, I'm just feeling ill. You would think I would be happy to get away from the screaming kids, crazy dog, sick cat and whiny hubby! But, not so much!
So, here I sit, trying to feel ok. it sucks.
Meanwhile, the kids are asking me all these questions and want me to play baseball, barbie's etc. Can I just scream??? It will get better.
Thanks for listening, people! You all rock, all one of you! Like I always say "If I don't laugh, I'll cry!" So, I'm laughing!

this just rocks...
I have been searching the internet for some really cool graphics for my blog header. I found so much, I just can't decide. I am no graphic artist but I think I did a pretty good job with this one. I found the graphic online and just added my title etc to it.
I am totally into abstract designs and swirls right now. I love color and I love change but I don't always have the means to envoke change the way I want. My kids and hubby, not so much! Oh well they gotta live with me!
