I just wondered if everyone else feels about their children the way I do. Don't you sometimes want to put them up in the tree out back & leave 'em 4 a while? LOL...Love 'em 2 pieces one minute & within seconds, you're ready to ship them off, haha!
This morning around 3 a.m., I wake up to Victoria at the end of the bed pulling all the wipes out of the box and just throwing them around the room. I woke up 2 a wad of baby wipes wrapped around my foot! She was awake for almost 3 hrs playing in the dark in our bedroom, while I dozed on & off, haha. Ken slept on the couch, LOL.
Elizabeth woke up before Victoria this morning. This is unusual cuz Elizabeth is a late sleeper, but since V had been up a few hours, she slept a little later. I was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for E when Victoria came up the hall & went & sat down on couch. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast. She got up, went over to the 10lb. pag of potatoes I had bought yesterday, she picked the whole bag up & brought to me. This is my little Sasquatch! haha..Her nickname is Big Shot. Elizabeth has picked up on this & calls V this. 2 cute!
Yesterday, Elizabeth was playing with a pull along puppy. I asked her what was her puppy's name. She pointed to the tag around his neck where Fisher-Price is stamped and she looked at me and very seriously said "Fisher Price" haha...So now, we all call the puppy Fisher Price.
Lesley Brooke has spirit week at school this week. Today is Camo day. I know she had no problems coming up with something to wear on this day, haha! She's already giving me lists for Christmas, haha. I would tell what I am getting her, but she might read this! I am taking her at T-giving to get a second hole in her ear. She's been wanting this done for a long time. She has regular ear piercing and a piercing at the top, on the cartilage part of ear. I've found some cool earrings in the Premier Jewelry book that I'm gonna order for her from DeeDee.
I talked w/mom for a while yesterday. Overall, she's doing well. She's just really tired most of time, but I keep telling her that fatigue is a side effect, but she wants to be up running marathons, I guess, haha. She gets frustrated cuz she can't piddle in her yard like she likes. She has 2 stop more often.
I think Lisa & Caleb moving in with her was a good idea. Things seems 2b working out.
Well, I leave you w/a last thought! DEEP WOODS OFF!!! Mosquitoes have arrived! LOL...

Weekend..just like the weekdays!
TGIF? Since Ken has been laid off work, the weekend doesn't seem any different than the weekdays..except for the fact that NASCAR is on, LOL. Ken's work truck is now put back together & running!! Just a few tweeks here & there & it's good to go.
It's been a few days since I blogged. That's such a weird word isn't it? haha! Not much going on here to talk about. Let's see....We went to the land one day this week..I don't even remember which day it was, haha. It was just a quick trip to make sure everything wasn't under water. It's been raining a good bit. All was well at the land. It wasn't that wet out there. Oh, we went to get some electrical odds & ends for our buddy Dave. He's doing some work in his house & needed a few things that Ken had. He met us out there. He was sort of freaked about the snake skins in our storage trailer. I think he found 3. I believe it's rat snakes, nothing poisonous. We've only saw 1 snake since buying the place in '04, and it was a rat snake. I am kind of surprised, but grateful, LOL.
We went over to Dave's for a little while after leaving the land. He has 2 blue heelers..Elizabeth said "polka dot dogs" haha..they have big blue spots all over. The girls enjoyed their time over there. He has lots of running room outside & inside. Also, he has NOGGIN. It's not available w/our cable. It shows we can get it, but then they say "not for your area". What a load of crap! Don't show it listed if I can't get it, haha.
Victoria got up at freaking 4 am!! I wish she was a late sleeper like Elizabeth, but no such luck!!
Well, V is ready 2 eat & Lesley & Uncle Mark are messaging me. I'm not doing well with multi-tasking, so I'll be back later with my ramblins!

So, what does the rest of the world do on Sundays? During NASCAR season, it's race day for us most of the time.
I remember as a small kid, we'd get up & go to church & then go to my MawMaw Alice's for lunch. She always had a big spread & all her kids & grandkids would be there.
Once mom married Billy, Sundays would be different each week for me. It usually always would be church & then Sunday lunch at one of the grandparents home.
Once my girls are married & with kids, *if that's the route they choose as adults*, I'd like to have that tradition. One day out of the week is a day at my home. I hope I don't alienate my girls when they get older & make them not want to come home to visit, LOL.
I used to think I wanted a family like the Waltons. I've since changed my mind. LOL..After having Elizabeth & Victoria only 14 months apart and dealing w/2 toddlers, I don't think I could handle them living at home as adults w/their children as well, haha. I still would love to have a little boy, but unless I come up w/thousands of dollars for untying my tubes, lol..it won't happen. The drs. said that it wouldn't matter, that after 3 c-sections, that no doctor would take me on as a patient. I kind of find that hard to believe. I bet if I had enough money, I could find a doctor that would take me as a 4-time c-section. I'd need to get in TOP shape & condition 1st though. I don't even know why I'm ramblin' about that though, I don't think I could handle another child. I have my hands full now!!
I got up this morning & made homemade pancakes for me & the girls. Ken wanted grilled ham/cheese, so that's what he had. I've done a load of laundry. This was only cuz Victoria vomited on the sheets, or laundry would have been put off til tomorrow. If she smells something nasty, she will either gag or actually vomit. Elizabeth had pooped her diaper & V got a whiff while they were jumping on the bed. I hope V marries a man that can handle changing stinkies & cleaning up nasty messes cuz I don't think V could handle it, haha..unless she outgrows it. I'll be soooo glad when Elizabeth quits pooping her panties! I don't know what's up w/that either. She NEVER pees her panties, but for some reason, she still hasn't got the hang of going to stinky in the toilet. She's done a few times, but overall..I still have to clean poop! I've tried MANY different things to encourage her, but we are hitting brick walls!
Well, it's lap 109 of 300 and Juan Pablo Montoya is still in the lead. He started the race with the pole position. COME ON, Ryan Newman! lol..he's running in the 9th position right now.
The rain has finally stopped here in TX. Yesterday, the sun popped out & we've had 2 days of sunshine! YAY!! Now, if it will only drop to about 60 degrees w/sunshine...PERFECT! haha!
Ken has gone to the auto parts store right now. The girls are running around playing. I pulled the mattresses off their beds & they are having a grand time jumping on them in the livingroom! Ken's been getting his work truck back in tip top shape since being laid off work. He's decided to start his own business. He's gonna get his truck running & looking good and then start doing his own thing. This is a move we should have done a long time ago instead of working for the "man" LOL..
I guess that's all the ramblin' I have for right now. Take care til later folks!

Facebook Fiasco
OK..Well, I gotta say..I was enjoying FB for a while. There were several old friends I was glad to reconnect with. I will miss posting to them, but not enough so that I want to keep my FB page up. I liked being able to put up whatever pics or jokes or whatever up and using it as a means to express how I was feeling that day or what have ya. BUT...when it becomes something that I was trying to get away from for years..it's not worth it. Some people say "she's not the same since she moved to TX"..This is NOT true..I am very much the same...I am ME! This is who I have been the whole time but was afraid to speak up. I have lived a long time letting other peoples emotions control my own emotions. I have lived in the past doing what others wanted and expected of me. I am NOT blaming those people. It is COMPLETELY my own doing. I am the one that ALLOWED them to influence me. The times I did try and break out and just be what I wanted, people didn't understand me. I have FINALLY found someone and a place that I can just be who I want and not worry about what every Tom, Dick, & Harry thought about me. I still love my family and friends very much, but I will not play the games nor will I conform to a certain way of being. I will make many mistakes & goof ups..but they will be out in the open for all to see and for me to clean up if need be. Sure, there are times that I will not just be me and let loose or conform to certain things..but the overall picture is what I am getting at. Don't get boggled down & misunderstand what I am saying. There are always circumstances that call for certain decorum. I enjoy being able to express my opinion, whether it be right or wrong, and not be judged for speaking my feelings.
Anyhoo, I deactivated my FB account because I didn't want to get sucked into having to explain why I feel the way I do about certain things & having to wonder who I am offending or not offending. Maybe those who really do understand me & don't take me so serious and what not, will find this blog!
You will see me say things often probably about hypocrites and my thoughts on how MOST Christians act. Ken & I both have had some bad mojo with how people act in the church building as to how they act outside of it. I think the TRUE Christians won't take offense to my ramblins about things of this nature. The bible says somewhere that the true christians won't take offense. I'll have to find the scripture I am referring to and post it later.
Well, that's all for now. I'm gonna go try and get some sleep.

Control Freaks
I have an opinion concerning getting angry & letting it show. We've seen in the news about Serena Williams losing her cool w/line judge. I personally, wasn't offended by this nor do I think she should have to pay such a huge fine. Sure, she said some things that were mean & rude, but come on..she was pissed! I think we should be allowed to lose our cool sometimes. Granted, some places aren't the place to just go off. I still believe in some decorum, haha. Sport matches..let 'em lose it & then allow them to come back the next day & say "yep, I lost my temper & said things I shouldn't, I'm sorry" Now, the outburst of "you lie" to the US President..naw..that wasn't the time nor place. He could use other venues after the fact to voice his opinion.
I'm gonna let ya in on a little secret...Ken & I sometimes SCREAM at each other, LOL! I think that it's healthy for us to let loose on one another now & then. We don't get violent, but we do holler. We both will forget in just a matter of 10 min. what we were hollering about, most of the time, haha. I know with Ken, I can holler & not be afraid of getting smacked for my opinion and I think that us being able to vent now & then is healthy. When we 1st married, my mom wasn't quite used to Ken. She had to learn that he says what he thinks & he calls people on their actions. I have learned to do this. If I see someone doing something stupid, I'm gonna tell 'em. If they get mad..oh well, it's something we have to deal with. I no longer just let things slide so I don't hurt someone's feelings. I don't want to intentionally hurt feelings. I know how to be tactful to let someone know that yeah..maybe yer actions are a bit retarded. These little white lies..I hate 'em. I'm gonna use an example..someone made a cobbler for Mom & Billy once. It tasted horrible. Instead of just saying "something didn't taste right w/ur cobbler". They lied & said it was good. Now this person that made the cobbler, will go make more like it thinking it's so good. You know, they might have added a wrong spice thinking it was something else. They need to know it wasn't good so they can look back & see what might have been wrong. If you don't tell 'em..they're gonna keep bringing you nasty cobbler for you to have to just chunk! Why not be honest & next time get something good to eat, LOL..Let's just be honest!! We can do this w/o being mean & spiteful.
It's the same way w/anger. It's ok to get angry now & then. Sure, we might have to say I'm sorry later, but if we aren't allowed to vent now & then, someone might actually get a ball shoved down their throat!
Just my 2 cents worth of ramblin'!

New to blogging!
Well, I decided to give blogging a go. I've never done this before and not sure if it's something I will continue. It might be fun to post to the worldwide web my crazy ramblin'. I think it might be nice to have a place where I can just let loose on anything, whether it be about myself, family, religion, politics, or just talk about the funny way my dog sometimes looks at me. LOL..So, if anyone actually decides to start reading my blog..sit down, buckle up..and get ready for the ride of your life!
