July 27, 2009

Yesterday marked the 17th anniversary of my mor-mors passing. I didn't realize it until mom came to drop the boys off and was in a *mood*. Maybe its wrong in some peoples eyes but I prefer to celebrate and remember her life, not her death.
Owen is still running a low grade fever today, but at least they seem to be well spread out. His last 2 were at 5am and than 11am. So far no boogie nose or anything else .. For now I will keep an eye on it and see where it goes and what it does. My worst fear is another ear infection. Although our bigger boys never had many, I do realize each child is different and so he may just be one to get them often.
Rons working days today for a change but is back on the night shift tomorrow.
Not sure if the boys and I will be swimming today. With owens fever even being low grade I'm not sure that the water is the place for him to be.

july something or other *lol*

im so horrible on dates in the summer time ~

rons working again tonight ~ it was only supposed to be an 8 hour shift but got changed to a 12 hour shift when someone called out sick for the next few days. tomorrow is supposed to be his day off and i was so looking forward to just being able to spend time together even if its doing nothing more than snuggle'n and watching some tv.. but it looks like that might not happen now ~ apparently another guy is out sick now and so they are looking for someone to cover a 16 hour shift. i know his dad is starting the shift but looking for someone to help cover part of it so he isnt stuck there the whole 16 hours by himself *argh* not sure what ron is going to do.. as much as i know he needs the rest i do know he is thinking money too because we have so much that needs to be taken care of right now.
ive been looking for a *new to us* junker car.. our *must have* list on this one is so low.. just 4 wheels and runs *lol* we will be able to upgrade but not until sometime next year when we get our tax return back ... for now its just the basic junker and the cheaper the better. found one on craigslist for $250 that might be worth looking into but im not sure yet... hard to car shop when you havent gotten that paycheck yet kwim?

mom has Owen and Wyatt staying at her house this weekend although i dont think she has my nephew brandon.. not sure why not though ~ she called me today and told me that Owen has a low grade fever and the infamous boogie nose is back and in full force.. i think hes teething again ~ its been a while since his last tooth and so thats probably all it is, but its horrible when he teeths, out of all of our babies, i think so far that he has taken teething the worst.. cant blame him though when you really think of what it is.. sharp things just pushing threw your gums.. yeah i would be hurting too. *hmm* wonder if she remembers that the teething tabs are in his over night stuff ~

lil ron spent today fishing with a friend. sounds like he had fun but didnt catch anything at all .. well other than a cast net full of bait fish which he brought home to freeze. his friend however not only caught a few small things (baby flounder in a cast net etc) but he also caught himself *ouch* yep a trebble (spelling) hook into his back.. needless to say he went to the ER tonight to have it removed..
hes home now (texted lil ron) and the hook has been removed so all is good, im sure come tomorrow you will find both of them at the water fishing again. thats one thing about kids, they tend to bounce right back and get right back to it no matter what.

as for me.. i got to enjoy waking up in my favorite place ~ laying in rons arms.. than i lazily worked myway out of bed and have been working on uploading my pics from my old blackberry to the computer. i swear thats enough to give anyone a headache ~ finally got it figured out early this evening.. and went for a walk with lil ron and clyde..
tomorrow is bath day for our clyde, the day i need to get all my plants back on the porch where they belong and out of the yard.. and well hopefully some extra snuggly time with my man!

missing my man *sad*

tonight has been one of them nights.. im used to him calling me off and on all night long and getting to talk to him but not tonight, been pretty busy at work for him so he dont get a chance to call *pouts* i miss him so much, and than find out earlier that he has to pull another 12 hours tomorrow instead of the 8 plus might be having to cover for someone else on sunday which was supposed to be his only day off this week.. i was so looking forward to just snuggle'n in bed all day with him and just relaxing and spending some quality time with him but that will probably be out the door now ~

i know i know we need these hours and have so much on our plate right now to take care of but that dont make it any easier when i miss him so much.

at least the paycheck might look good again, good thing too.. its already spent like the last one ~ i will be happy when we are back on track and everything is starting to smooth out and we can save up to move.. until than its alot of me and the boys missing him and alot of him missing us ~

love you baby.. miss you so much too.. i hope you know how much i appreciate how much you do for us ~

Impressed with cell insurance

When we were with nextel we made the huge mistake of not insuring our phones. If you've ever had nextel than you know full well the cost of their phones and how after a good while of usage and wear and tear the last thing you need is to face the sticker shock of a new phone.
When we decided to change cell companies and got our blackberry storms the first thing we did was make sure they were all insured. Well a good 6 months later found us having to use that insurance and although I am on the fence with the deductible cost, I was pretty pleased that we had new phones in hand less than 24 hours later.
Needless to say yesterday was spent getting our phones back to normal (adding things we use etc) and it did find us having a few issues with our replacement phones.
So this am I got on the phone and talked to tech support and all seems to be running smoothly now.
All in all I'm pretty impressed with the insurance we have although I do think after spending a monthly fee the deductible should be cheaper or not be there at all.. But in the end the deductible cost is no where near the cost of the storms when paying full price.

finally in the 2 week wait...

im not sure when ttc if the 2 week wait is a good thing or not ~ it leaves you wondering if you will get a beautiful big fat positive and see them wonderful dark 2 pink lines.. or if old aunt flow will show up and send you threw emotions of crying just wondering *why not .. why cant i just get those lines*
i tell you ttc is an emotional roller coaster.. but we will just have to wait and see what happens at the end of this and than either be celebrating or moving on to next month...

rons working again tonight (surprise surprise) ~ spent the day swimming with the kids at the water, and now fixing to walk our clyde and get some of that pent up puppy energy out of him ~ he seems to have enough of it lately *lol*

i guess i will update a bit more in a bit after my walk and what not... im sure lil ron is wondering where i am and what im doing when im supposed to be getting ready to walk out the door *lol*

happy to finally have our cellphones back

seems like they have been *gone* forever but at least now they are back up and i can start doing more again.. like blogging from my phone when i cant get comp time and just *bouncing* around the web when the comp is unavailable to me ~ funny how you miss the little things that you get used to when you cant do them for a while ~
plus now no worries on getting *looks* when the phone rings at o'dark hundred in the morning when ron calls from work .. ah its just the little things in life *lol*

now i need to remember to call them and look into another plan.. verizon now offers a new plan and i am gonna see if it will save us any money.. on our road *back to the basics* this is one step ~ making things a bit cheaper if we can...

also on the list is finding a cheap car.. nothing fancy just something with 4 wheels that runs *haha* aint our standards high? well at least thats all we are looking for at this time.. come tax time we are upgrading to a suburban paid in full (cash) and i cant wait.. there are so many i have been drooling over.. not only the looks of them but also the cost!

poor ron is at work again tonight, these hours so suck.. i hate that he is gone so much but i also know at the same time that come *off season* his hours will be cut, so i guess in a way its bitter sweet because you know you need the hours while you can get them but at the same time it comes at a cost because we get such little time together when he is either sleeping or walking out the door..

cant wait up for him tonight as he gets off so late in the am and i need to be semi concisious tomorrow to take the kids swimming.. swimming was out today because of the rain even though it got me because just as i rushed to get my plants into the yard to get some rain water, wouldnt you know it the rain stopped but none the less swimming was canceled today *blah*

tomorrow however its on so at least the kiddos will be out of the house and killing some of there energy while ron gets some sleep for work again tomorrow night ~ i believe tomorrow is a long shift for him *blah* i hate long shift nights even worse than the shorter shift nights (by short shift i mean anything under 10 hours) but i know he does it all for me, him and the boys ~

looks like a long long time before i see

ron again for any amount of time. just got his next week schedule tonight and he dont get another day off until next sunday *blah* thats a ton of days in a row with no time off and long hours on top of that ~
i swear these people cant make a schedule to save there life *grr grr grr* on the bright side though, at least he dont have to many horridly long nights (meaning 12 and 14 hour nights) so thats good, at least maybe he will finally get some rest in between shifts. i almost dread having to be the one to have to go in and wake him up at 4pm ~

tomorrow its back to the normal for me and the boys, back to swimming and what not keeping them entertained during the day so that ron can get some much needed sleep and they arent bouncing off the walls to badly.

i guess little ron is going to head off and go clamming with chris on either tues or wed although im not exactly sure which day they are talking about going. after a week with bad tides, this week is looking better. so thats a good thing, little ron has alot of fun clamming with *uncle* chris.

the boys seemed to have a good time at moms house this weekend, i guess her cheap blow up pool was well worth the money she put into it, seems like they all managed to somehow get into it at the same time (oh how i wish i wasnt standing there with a camera for that one) and they all got to *splash* around a bit to keep busy and stay cool. although mom did tell me that owen had his reservations about the whole pool thing but he did okay in it once he got used to being in it.

well.. almost time for ron to be headed home.. he was supposed to call me back but i guess things got busy at work and he wasnt able to. at least tonight isnt a late night for him (meaning not a 12-14 hour shift) so thats a bonus i suppose.

another night of missing my man

rons working another long night tonight ~ i know he is dead tired too.. hated having to wake him up for work this (early) evening. hoping he will come home and just crawl into bed and try to get some sleep ~
not sure his schedule tomorrow but hoping it isnt another 12 hour or longer shift ~ sometime tomorrow we should find out what his next weeks schedule looks like, im guessing that its just going to be as bad as the past few weeks though ~

as much as i hate the hours he works, i know as well as he does that soon them hours will be gone, so many places no longer use the security in the *off season* so his hours will be drastically cut back *grr* so i guess you just have to take the hours while you can get them ~ however that dont make it suck any less.

the boys are spending the night at moms house tonight, last night she had wyatt and owen and tonight she has all 3 plus my nephew brandon.. so im using the time to clean up the room and than gonna go soak in the tub for a while.. wish ron was home so that we could spend some time together just the two of us... or that he was at least at a place that i could go hang out with him.. but unfortunately he was there last night and i had lil ron home..

have i told you lately how much i love my man??

well we had a nice talk tonight and i brought up the baby thing.. and he said *baby we have 3 handsome guys together and we are going to have number 4* followed by *watch this one will be a girl* yeah right babe im a man breeder and i know it *rofl*

i swear he has this way of just putting my mind at ease and although he is at work its like he just *wraps his arm around me and gives me a huge hug and just holds me* i know im weird but thats okay ... who says you got to be *normal*? well other than my shrink who deemed me normal all them years ago.. although i do think she was a bit half wacked herself *haha*

im sure i would be in trouble if ron knew i was still up.. he told me about a half hour ago to take my butt to bed and that he would be waking me up in the morning with the computer speakers blare'n and him watching something on hulu or something like that, but thats okay.. as long as he is home safe thats all that matters to me.

you know its the best thing in the world when you know for a fact that you are spending your life with the one person in the world that you were ment to be with.. and i know thats who im with.. we complete each other in every way.. and every day i just fall more in love with him even when i dont think i could possibly love him anymore than i already do..

what can i say.. hes just the best and sorry ladies, hes all mine and i do NOT share at all *rofl*

and just when the neighbors thought they had seen it all...

here comes lil ron and i carrying a blow up pool (good sized one too) down the road *lol*

today was shopping day *fun*.. NOT ~ honestly i think im one of the few people who hate to shop.. went and hit the normal 3 stores, pet smart for our clyde, walmart and than harris teeter which we just recently started to go to every other week (pay day) so that we can take some of there deals.. although the store isnt my *favorite* as it is still confusing and always leaves me wondering.. why would someone put chips and snacks and than have motor oil in the middle of the same isle?? but none the less they have some awesome deals that one just cant avoid ~ so i do go every other week to take up some of them deals!

anyways.. while at walmart my mom decided to pick up a blow up pool for her back porch. on the days that she has the kids (pretty much the only time she sees owen and gets to spend some time with him) she doesnt like to head down to the end of the road swimming area (aka little beach) because of the drunkards. i cant say i blame her either.. but she wanted a way for them to cool off and have fun at her house.. so she decided on this pretty decent sized kiddy pool for her back porch.

problem is, she had no way to blow it up. so that left me and little ron to take care of here at the house.. with mom living only around the corner and down the street, we opted to blow it up here and just *walk it down* when we were done. thinking that we had the cover of darkness and only two cars pass us on the road, we thought we had it made until we passed by zoey and chucks house (our down the street boxers) and sure enough zoey was outside with her owner who said *zoey.. come here zoey* as he walked closer to the street, looked at us and our big pool, laughed and said *im trying to get zoey in the house and your walking down the street with...... a pool *lol* just when i thought i had seen it all*

we avoided the long explination and just laughed it off ~ after that it was to moms house to get it set up on the porch .. a quick kiss and hug to wyatt and owen who are sleeping over tonight, and than off to the end of the road with ant killer to defeat the ants that keep bugging my baby while he is down there during the week when we are all swimming.. got that taken care of after a breif but wet walk in the down pouring rain (good thing too this ant killer needs water to work better) and than off to the boat ramp to check things out there before returning home ~

wow what a night!

rons working again tonight, another long shift *pouts* i hate these long night time shifts he has ~

im kinda lost though, i want to talk to him a bit more about seriously working on having baby number 4.. some days he seems all for it but other days i kinda still question if he wants to try as hard as i do.. after having no luck for so long getting preggo with wyatt and owen.. and having so many years of trying.. i just want to get moving on it but yet i dont want ron to think im some spastick sperm crazed woman kwim?

the truth is im very happy with our family and our 3 boys, but we had decided from day one that we wanted 4 kids, we didnt know that we would have so much trouble having a baby so now that we are set on having number 4 i just want to actually try harder to have it rather than to just *take it as it comes* im sorry but i just dont have another 6-8 years to do that with kwim?

i suppose i will figure out how to start the convo with him again to see where his mind is at and what he wants to do.. i guess im just scared of him saying that he would rather just *take it as it comes* because i know its not possible to do that kwim?

the day after yesterday

swimming today was kinda blah.. way way windy to the point where we actually had waves in the sound ~ made it a bit harder for owen to *comfortably* swim although he did give it his all ~
for the first time this week (i believe) the tide was actually low when we got down to the end of the street ~ seems like every day this week it has been high tide for us.

no swimming tomorrow though, i have shopping to do tomorrow evening and plus a few phone calls that have to be made during the day time hours, isnt it fun when *life* gets in the way of having fun at the water?

rons working another 12 hour shift today, left the water earlier this afternoon than normal so that we could have a bit of time together before he went to work.. miss him so much!

spent some of this evening catching up on *wipe out* with the kids, omg the show is hysterical, okay maybe not that funny but deff funny *lol*, i tried to watch one of them over the weekend when the kiddos were gone for the night at moms house, however it just wasnt the same so i had to stop it and hold off until we were together to watch it. for some reason some shows are just better when your watching it with certain people.. its like trying to watch the amazing race without ron, or stargate, or well a bunch of them. we used to have our whole *free night* planned out, no kids home so time to catch up on the shows we hadnt seen in a while ~ i sure do miss them nights.. havent had one in a long long time..

anyways.. guess i need to crawl between my sheets and try to get some sleep so that i will be ready to be up and about to get things done tomorrow..

july .. well something or other *lol*

i swear sometimes it seems like my days are just running together ~ spent the last few days down at the water with the boys!

owen is getting to be so brave, he will *swim* okay its more of just crawling and letting his butt float (too cute) but he deff needs work on the whole *fear* factor. he has no fear either that or he honestly thinks he was born with gills?? good thing im always right there next to him to *point* him into the right direction.
i dont think hes been feeling to well the last few nights, lots of late nights for me and him.. waking up at all odd hours of the night, guess we will see how it goes tonight.

wyatt and lil ron have been having a blast at the water the past few days, playing with the other kids.. today they (more lil ron) invented *water bull riding* omg it was hysterical.. he drug his large cooler into the water and decided to try to float on it, do you know how hard/impossible that is?

also we learned that if you were to ship wreck the coolers may float really really good however, you will never be able to crawl on top of one, that one kicked our butts big time and yes this mama was out there trying to do it too *lol*

tomorrow we will see what kind of misadventures at the water we can have again ~

poor ron, only had one day off this week and is already back at it *sad* i miss him when he is gone and this weeks hours suck beyond belief ~ i hate it when he works these long hours like this becuase than we dont get much time with him.. by the time he is managing to crawl into bed, we are all crawling out, and when we get home hes already gone.. guess our phone lines will be burning this week again ~ i just miss my man!

i think someone is trying to kill me

okay when you said *taco bell* i said *volcano burrito* and you bring me a volcano taco.. omg im soo gonna die!! but um yeah .. thanks mom love you too *lol*

rons back to work already ~ luckly he has tomorrow off *woohoo* i miss him when he works so much, this is one reason why maverick never worked out for us, he was gone all the time and the little time we got to see each other or be a family just wasnt working.. for us or for him... guess that just goes to show that money isnt everything in life huh?

no swimming for us today because it rained *blah* i knew there was a good chance that it would though.. which is why i didnt wash clyde yesterday.. there is nothing worse than giving him a bath and than the next day having him stink like wet dog *lol* so at least tomorrow when i wash him if the rain is all gone, he will stay clean and good smelling ~

july 12th

well the boys will be home soon.. cant wait to get my owen and wyatt hugs (lil ron is soo not a hugger anymore.. something about almost being 16 yrs old)

tomorrow starts another week of swimming, swimming and more swimming ~ not sure what rons work schedule will be next week.. hopefully giving lots of time for *baby dancing* haha

think we found another car *i hope* nothing fancy just a junker to get ron to and from work.. at least until tax time when we can upgrade ~

starting over is never fun but its not the first time we have done it in the past 16 years but at least again we know we will survive it ~ just another time to stand up, dust ourselves off and start all over again.. hopefully this will be the last time we do it...

life *argh*

as normal life likes to toss stuff at me .. im seriously beginning to wonder if i have a *kick me* sign on my back or something.. its deff getting annoying to say the least!

looks like its time for me to step back from my sister again, this wont be the first time but im getting to old for the petty bullshit and drama that happens after a while of talking ~ i mean im way to old to have to deal with the crap.

im sorry if you dont approve of my life, how many kiddos we have, or where we live, sometimes in life shit happens and if you dont understand that life is sometimes just what it is and we have to do what we have to do than oh fucking well kwim?

soo i have decided im going to live for what i want out of life.. starting with another baby. Ron and i have always wanted 4 kids, we have faced years of TTC issues and it took us a long 8 years to welcome our second son... than another long 6 years to have our little man.. but we do not have them long years of waiting left.. so we need to get serious and get *busy* haha so for me that is goal number one ~

goal number 2 to get out of this house.. dont get me wrong the inlaws are great and i know that no matter what we will always have a roof over our head and a place to call home, but we are both so done ~ so we are making changes to make that happen and the sooner the better but no more backtracking or whatever.. this mama is full speed ahead and although we have some issues with our school district and where we can live (neither of us will put our kids eductation on the back burner for a cheaper rental.. sorry just not even an option) it will just take patience and a bit of time to find a place big enough, affordable, and what not.. i can deal with that if we have a goal in place to work towards...

i think thats it for now, but i tell you what.. i refuse to allow our happiness to be *crushed* or whatever to please someone else..

updates

sorry i havent been update'n to often.. but just been up to the same old same.. swimming during the day and walking the clyde at night.

Owen is now trying to free walk, wont go more than a few steps but he is trying ... im debating on if i will get lucky enough to have him not free walking on his first birthday like lil ron or walking freely like wyatt did on his.

he is deff a water baby though, been putting up both the budweiser tent and his *cage* at the end of the road but it seems that his favorite place to be is in the water with the bigger kids, if only i could convince him not to crawl into the water to deep.. child you can not swim just yet *wink*

he is also the proud owner of tooth number 8 now, i need to so desperately update his baby book...

time just seems to fly by with the kiddos and growing up *argh*

little ron managed to get one day of clamming in so far this summer which was cool. *uncle* chris called up and asked if he wated to go and of course little ron jumped on the oppertunity to do it.
took his boat out again today but the motor messed up again.. deff need to get that looked at, since it was christmas gift from grandaddy and grandma, they kept the paperwork and now its lost *argh* so its a bit of digging and maybe a few phone calls to get that taken care of .. hopefully soon ~ i know how much he enjoys it.

wyatt is my normal wild child, you just have to love him! spending the days swimming and going to moms house to play video games while we walk at night..

i was really hoping to make our trip to the zoo again this summer but it looks like we will have to put it off until later in the year this time. a bit depressing as it will be owens first time going but it is what it is.. seems to be my favorite words anymore *it is what it is*

rons working until 2am tonight and than a quick nap before pulling a long ass shift tomorrow.. i hate the long shifts but at least its good hours for now.

taking clyde swimming today

at least im supposed to.. probably wont stay down to long though.. swimming for clyde and sun'n sounds pretty good but at the same time im tired and just want to relax today. i havent seen much of ron the past few days due to his work schedule and my swim schedule with the kids. as a matter of fact i wouldnt have realized that he was in bed last night other than the fact that i have a mere slight memory of him crawling into bed and than kissing me as he left this am. poor guy only managed to get maybe 3 hours of sleep and back to work he went.
i guess a part of me wants to say *no swimming today* but another part thinks.. ooh how i love to take my clyde swimming and let him get some exercise ~ but than i think about the crowed of people down there .. its unreal crowdy lately with the out of towners in town this weekend not to mention the normal people who are down there.. its just CRAZY!

lets put it this way, there isnt much parking at the end of the road because its simply that the end of the road with an access to the water. they had the cars doubled up along the road by the time we got down there yesterday at 1pm... and more people were still coming. there is a small empty lot that belongs to one of the end houses and as crazy as it is, these vacationers with there *entitlement* attitudes started parking in the guys yard.. 3 cars pulled up and started parking in a straight line threw his yard! than we watched another guy just do this huge turn around threw the guys yard ~ and they wonder why last year the guy called the cops on people!

vacationers entitlement gets me.. when im vacationing anywhere i treat it as if im home, give the same respects as i would anywhere else ... but sadly that isnt the same for all.

to get into the water there is a set of stairs down off the sea wall into the water, well this lady decided to firmly place her behind and her childs on the bottom step. people couldnt get up and down them and she would not move. i personally had to climb the sea wall to get to owen who had woken up from his nap another man who was down there and i believe was menatally challenged waited and waited the lady just would not move.. so he started to climb using the railing and the outside of the stairs and mrs oblivious still didnt move her butt!

life gets nuts here in he summer.. 4th of july weekend is the worst!

4th of july

spent the day doing another 2 miles swim .. thought we were going to explore a few new channels but decided to just head up to the furthest one like we had before and end up near the hwy (well in the water next to it). going up wasnt to bad as the current was going our way. just a nice relaxing swim for the most part. coming back however was a pain in everyones butt to put it nicely and it wasnt so much the current as it was fighting the wind. once we got out of the channel though it wasnt so bad.
the semi sad part was that we missed out on watching the parade. yes i like to say how much its stupid and goofy that so many do this parade but at the same time i know its just folks having a good time celebrating the 4th of july.. its kind of nice to sit in the water near the boat docks and just watching it as it drives by on the street. but we knew that we werent going to make it, it wasnt due to lack of trying just the simple fact that we were to far when we heard all the parade noise going by. ah well maybe we will catch it next year.
after that long swim we all headed home to get cleaned up for our mashmellow roast and to watch the fire works...

sadly this year we couldnt see the EI ones as they had moved them. they used to fire them off the one peir that has managed to either survive the hurricanes or be repaired when needed after a hurricane. the peir is privately owned and it used to be that the owner was the only one who for years would fork out the money for fireworks for the town. eventually the town started to pitch in to help pay for the fireworks and it continued to be held at the end of the peir ~ that is until this year. the last storm that blew threw, blew down the sign on the main road that pointed to the peir (name and arrow) and when the owner wanted to put it back up.. the town told him *nope* soo he said *lets see what you do at fireworks time*
so this is the first year that they werent blown off the end of that peir. the town found a new place to blow them off (town owned) and from the end of our neighborhood you cant see them anymore *pouts*
we did get to enjoy the ones that folks here blew off which was cool.. and we got to enjoy our marshmellow roast which was nice. the boys look forward to it every year.
i brought clyde with me and was soo proud of how good he was.. this was both his and owens first year seeing fireworks! saddly ron had to work so he couldnt be there with us *pouts again*

today (july 4th) my owen is officially 11 months old.. only one more month to go until we are celebrating his first birthday.. this year just seems to be flying by faster than ever.. some days i just wish it would slow down ~

on my *lemonade* side of life.. it seems to be stuck in limbo right now.. still searching for the sugar and its no where to be found.. maybe someday someone will go to the store and buy the sugar so that the lemons can be turned into lemonade.. until than i guess im stuck standing here with scoup in one hand and spoon in the other stirring the pitcher until sugar can be added...

ending on a semi funny note ~ before the fireworks started my sister and her husband were standing outside cooking dinner.. when a truck came by and tossed trash out of there window (the nerve) ~ when they came by again my sisters husband stopped them and asked if they were residents of the town? they said *no* when asked if they were vacationers again they responded with *no* .. than said that they were here for the 4th and so he said *well reguardless around here we dont litter* and made them get out of there truck and pick up the trash they tossed out of their window.. you dont know how much i WISH that i could have seen that one..
why do people litter like that?

ooh and i think i have the people at the end of the road scared for tomorrow.. due to folks not abiding by the leash law and just letting their dogs run free at the water, i have decided to let my clyde do the same.. i mean if they dont have to do it why should i? right? drives me NUTS.. one dog is known for peeing on peoples things.. yet he is down there and not on a leash where he can be kept near his owners stuff to just pee on it..
not to mention the other dogs that just freely roam around down there.. so i put out the word that i was going to let clyde run free and was looked at like i was some crazed weirdo. uh why? clyde is not a mean dog.. hes not aggressive... hes just happy! for some reason one kid said he was going to tell his mom to not come tomorrow.. why? it was her father in laws dog that was running free and her father in laws other dog that pees on peoples stuff if left where he can lift his leg to it.. sorry folks but i dont enjoy putting on peed on shoes any more than you will enjoy my clyde in your lap saying hello to you while your trying to sunbathe ~

one of them days....

when you find yourself wondering .. now why did i get out of bed? and than you remember it was that really cute, sweet, owen alarm that made you crawl out.. the question remains though, why didnt i even attempt to convince him to go back to bed *lol*

took wyatt to his recheck on his ear, still has a small pocket of fluid on his ear drum that they suspect will just go away on its own.. did a hearing test which he passed with flying colors so thats good. no new appointments or meds unless something happens and we need to head back to get him looked at again.. which i hope wont be the case, lets enjoy this last few months of summer vaca before the new school year kicks off.. time seems to be just flying by!

stopped at harris teeter on the way home from the docs office as our closest one is in morehead and well with the doc appointment there, best to stop when your in the neighborhood. i havent really compared prices to closely however they do have some awesome deals.. buy 2 12 packs of pepsi cans and get 3 free.. now who could pass that up? and although deer park isnt my favorite bottled water, can you really pass up the buy one get one free deal there? deff well worth the trip to get some good deals!

after that eventful trip... and yes it was eventful.. wyatt loves to shop.. oh to well i might add or at least attempt to amazingly enough he did survive the trip without getting the things he just *had to have* yes the donuts, individual hot dogs in buns, string cheese, cool whip in a can, and lord knows what else managed to stay on the shelves and he managed not to die before exiting the store *rofl*
of course he lost his driving cart privilages very soon after rounding a few corners to crazily .. yes dear i know it looks like a rocket ship that your brother is stearing but there is no reason to make him fly threw the produce section and try to take out a few displays ~ motherhood .. sometimes so entertaining.

he of course had to point out the kid pushing the kid cart threw the store... yes dear it is a cart kid sized .. the worst invention ever made.. why? well honey you will understand when you have babies of your own and mommy buys them each there own to take threw the stores if these inventions are gone by than *lol*

after we left harris teeter it was off to the house to feed the monsters.. got owen fed, fed wyatt.. kissed ron goodbye somewhere in between as he was headed out to work .. of course after packing him a lunch to munch on when he got hungry.. watered the plants.. fixed dinner for me and lil ron.. shared half of my dinner with owen *lol* and well.. yep missing kid.. oh lil ron where are you??

as i watched the clock tick more and more i got a bit irritated.. had he been home to check in? asked the wildabeast.. nope hadnt seen or heard from him.. so pack owen in his stroller and get wyatt to come along.. time to find the missing monster...

finally found him riding his bike apperently he had come to the house and was told by the old religious one that i was out looking for him. i had stopped by mothers and asked if she had seen him and she said *nope* grrr
continued on my way knowing where he could be and looking around.. nope.. nope.. grr.. maybe it was the smoke signals from my head he was seeing but soon he came riding up. to which i told him that he needed to check in with me from time to time.. you know the normal.. *i need a drink were fishing* or some kind of information would have been nice to have had..
and what do i get? im old enough to be out with my friends without having to check in! oh really child of mine.. you are only 15 years old.. i dont hardly thing that makes you an adult .. at least not for another 3 years!
why are you making such a huge deal out of this? uh.. so let me get this straight you havent peed for 7 hours.. nor have you gotten thirsty for 7 hours right? yeah right *grr*
you know if he had his phone where i could have called and said *its almost 9pm where the blank are you* it might have been a bit different but that wasnt possible so yes, in that circumstance i do expect you to come check in and say *hey lookie me im still alive*
he knows hes in my dog house, although i give him some freedoms i do expect some things from him.. and although i do sometimes forget he is 15 i do believe that a 15 year old is to young to go running around the neighborhood for 7 hours without saying *hey im alive*

yep.. one of them days i think i would have been better off staying in bed *wink*

tomorrow its back to swimming again *woo hoo*
