Field Trip

Whew...glad that's over! So the kindergarten through 3rd grade kids had a field trip today to the AZ Science Center. It was pretty neat and I only had to watch two kids, my own son and another little boy. They were good and I had lots of fun watching their joy and exitement. I think their favorite part was the huge nose that you could throw balls into and then press a button and the nose would push out a burst of air and the balls would come flying out of the nose. Scared the heck out of me when we first got there, didn't know it was going to do that...yes, that was me screaming, not some kid!

So here's some pics of Jayce enjoying the trip...

Here is Jayce in a wheel chair race...

And sitting on a seat that him and his teacher pull on a rope and it lifts the seat up in the air

So a good time was had by all...all except for us sweating to death, it was really hot/humid, this coming from someone that is always cold/freezing.

This is the last day that my baby boy is 5, so he had a good day to celebrate the end of another year. I on the other hand...just might be really sad about this...

Dear Someone

Dear Other Teams Volleyball Ref,

You suck. You really do. And your smug attitude needs.to.go. I'm sure you heard all the crap talk about you that us parents from our team were saying about you, and yes, that would include the superintendant to our school. Next time if I were you ( which thankfully, I'm not) I would unhinge the corn cob out your rear end. Oh, and the little shake it booty dance that you momentarily did when you looked at the kids from your team, that.was.sick...you should've heard your own kids laughing and making fun of you, you were the only one impressed with ya old self.

Dear Jayce,

Thanks for the laugh on the ride home from the volleyball game yesterday, your sisters and I really enjoyed it. That was the best thing you could say, when the song came on saying "kiss me through the phone, I'll see you later on".., you said eeeeeeewwwwww kisssssiiing. Good boy, don't you forget it. Ever. And the sound of your voice when you said it was just hilarious.

Your thankful for the memories mom,
Mommy


Dear Taylor and Jayce,

You two had better NEVER AGAIN be sitting there at a volleyball game, or anywhere else for that matter, showing the little people around you your underwear so they can see the color of them. And I don't care that you two didn't start it....don't follow!

Your you will regret it next time mom,
Mommy


Dear Alyssa,

I am proud of you that you are doing great with the multi-tasking: grades are great, you're doing wonderful in volleyball, and helping out with the student council. Yet, you need to ZIP IT when it comes to arguing with me and be prepared to lose some of your stuff if you come home with makeup on one.more.time.

Your mixed feelings mom,
Mom

Wacky Wednesday

Let's reminisce about some funny stuff...

*After my friend (Jen) had her first child (who is now 8), we went and had a few drinks at a pool hall/bar. This was her first time being able to go out and have a drink and some fun. I hadn't been paying attention to how much she had to drink as I was busily just talking and having fun. So while I was talking with my boyfriend at that time, I see Jen out of the corner of my eye talking with his roommate (whom she had no interest in)...and then I see her fall to the floor. Yep, the girl passed out drunk. Well I wasn't worried since my boyfriend at the time (who was a medic) wasn't worried. So my guy (at that time) and his roommate had to pick her up and carry her to her car. I.was.cracking.up. When they picked her up, her shirt came up too. I.laughed.harder.

When we got driven back to my guy at that time's place, Jen got carried in and put on the roommates bed...and then she rolled completely OFF of the bed. I.laughed.harder. It was really late by then. After going to bed I heard something out in the pool room, so I got up since I figured it was Jen. What was she doing? She was crawling to get her cell phone..you see, her mom was watching her daughter and we were supposed to be back that night...but we were both too drunk to drive. This was going to be good. Really people, you shoulda been there. Word from the drunk ass new momma...take it easy the first time around!


*What is the funniest/most memorable come on that I have EVER heard???
"I want to bite your ass and get lock jaw"
Who could ever forget that one?!

*What is the craziest thing that has EVER happened to you?
It happened many years ago while my friend Jen and I were in the grocery store. We were in one of the aisles and hunched down looking at something on the bottom shelf. I look up because I am noticing rapid movement that is staying in one spot. I see this kid that looks like he's somewhere in his late teens...naw, he can't be doing what it looks like he's doing..while staring at us. So we stand up and move on and don't see him again..until a little bit later, this time same kid, same movement, watching us from by the corner of the center of the long aisles. Aww.hell.naw.he's.yanking.himself.and.staring.at.us...first thing that comes to mind was kick his a** and take names later. But in reality, we crazy chicks look at eachother at the same moment, we both grab onto the cart and charge to the front of the store to report what was happening. We didn't even leave the cart behind, I guess we decided that the cart needed to be saved from the insanity also. The kid was gone by the time they checked the store. There's some sick.people.out.there....

Random Tueday Thoughts

Better late than never...Random Tuesday Thoughts...prompted by The Un Mom.

*Woohoo, my nephew and the football team won their game today!

*Dang it was freakin' hot out while watching the game...literally looked like I had pissed mah pants by the time it was over with...whatever happened to fall weather?

*Giggle...got side tracked...noticed my hubby's naked booty after just getting out of the shower.

*Hmm...I have to go now...


*Get ya'lls mind out of the gutter..........I'm tired, and it's late here.

Spouting Off

So while I didn't actually watch the VMA's, I did hear about the snub that Taylor Swift received from Kanye West. So, in honor of him being so Heartless...I thought I would try out a remake of his song...Heartless.

In the night we heard 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road, He lost his soul
Yes he was so heartless...How could he be so heartless... oh How could he be so heartless?

How could he be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking outside yo head yo
You need to watch the way you dissin' Taylor Swift yo

You know I mean after all the screwed up things that you been sayin' fool
I mean after all the things you get into
And yo we know of some things that you should hold back
And yo stay off the stage and quit yo talkin' smack
And yo Beyonce don't need you to watch her back

And you gon' rush the stage like it's all about "me"
So you walk around like I'm still the old me
You got booed by friends
Hope you still got homies
But in the end you still so lonely

In the night we heard 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
He was so heartless...How could he be so heartless... oh, How could he be so heartless?

So that is my little re-make. While I love the song Heartless...I thought it was pretty fitting to his demeanor that night...pretty heartless. And how sweet of Beyonce to give it up to Taylor when all was said and done.

I Will Never Forget...

I will never forget...

Being sound asleep after working a noon to midnight shift as an emergency dispatcher, and then going home to my cozy bed. Then my phone ringing at the pre-crack of dawn. And me thinking it better not be someone who knows me and my schedule because they are going to get an earful from me before I hang up and take the cord out of the wall. It happened to be my boyfriend at that time...telling me to turn on the television. As he was starting to get that earful that I was talking about, he cut me off and told me why.

I will never forget...

Staring at the television and being thankful that I live in the small town that I live in and that I was not one of the emergency dispatchers that were having to field the calls, yet at the same time wishing I could be there to help.

I will never forget...

Staring at the buildings, the horrified people, the ash and debris covering every inch of breathing space, the people plummeting out of the windows, the people that lost their lives and the lives of loved ones or friends, the emergency responders, the people that have never been able to get over what they went through..the list could go on forever..as I will remember forever.

I will never forget...

Those who are out fighting for our freedom and security and their families, and those who return and can't handle the stresses of what they went through and are no longer with us because they couldn't handle the devastation that they went through.

I will never forget...

All of the sacrifices and all of the losses.

We should never forget...

Dear Someone

Dear Jason,

Please don't laugh at me the next time I tell you that I want $50 from each of the kids for a trinity ring that I want for Christmas. It's not that far fetched of a request..we all know that it would have to come from you first.

Dear Jayce,

The closer your birthday comes, the more anxiety I am getting. For a few reasons. The main reason is I really don't want you to turn 6, I want you to stay 5 and little bitty. Secondly, I fear all of the little kids that will be over running our house at your party.

Your loving and kid fearing mom

Dear Jewelry Store,

The next time I go in to get my ring cleaned like I often do, please don't ever tell me again that I have a loose stone. And don't take the ring and tell me that the jeweler won't pick it up until Friday and that I won't get it back until next Tuesday. I feel naked without it. And sometimes when I look down and see it isn't there I panic for a moment until I remember where it is.

Dear Taxes and Insurance,

I am really sick of you. You need to quit stalking me and showing your face around here. I did not invite you, I did not request you. I don't know who made you up to begin with, but you and your maker ougtta be hung. You are draining us...
