May 25th - BWAH HA HA HA

2009-05-25T22:20:00.001-07:00

it's frog boy! lmbo!

May 24th - I'm a Sucker

2009-05-24T20:57:00.000-07:00

After an all-day discussion on whether or not the kids were to be allowed on the trampoline without anchor-age, I caved. Nick was on it at like 8 this morning, "testing it", lmbo!
We're still getting anchor-age for it tho coz the first monsoon that comes thru here is going to blow the thing into this window like it was a ragdoll in a tornado, and of course, while the spawn are on it, i'll be keeping a watchful eye thru the window (chanting "we have tricare, we have tricare, we have tricare").
i was even talked into getting on it (there's video on my facebook, lmbo!!)

May 23rd - New addition to the backyard

2009-05-23T19:29:00.001-07:00

tho the kids aren't allowed to play on it yet coz it's not anchored down.... the girl we got it from didn't have the anchors to go with it, so we gotta find new ones (or a reasonable facsimile, since i spent a good bit of time on the phone with all the stores in town and nobody has any!)

May 22nd - IT'S BLUE?!?!

2009-05-23T19:25:00.000-07:00

that's what i thought at first anyway. the maintenance guy finally brought & installed a new dishwasher. totally had me going on the blue plastic protective covering being the actual color of the machine.

in my defense. it *was* first thing in the morning. i wasn't awake yet.

(like my two-tone tiles? we got those a couple months ago when a pipe broke under the sink. friggin maintenance ppl...)

May 21st - I love the fact that he can read... BUT

2009-05-23T19:23:00.001-07:00

March 15th - Cat Box Duty

2009-03-15T20:34:00.000-07:00

I was at the grocery store when I got a pic message from Nick... of Nicky pulling cat box duty (which is supposed to be one of Caroline's chores - she was at the neighbor's house playin'). Appalled, I texted him back saying he was WRONG for makin that little boy clean the box! When I got home Nicky said he had wanted to do it. Why, I'll never know. I don't even wanna do it, lol!
He's gettin bored tho. He can't play outside with the rest of them & the neighbor kids til the "magic stitches" dissolve (see Friday's post where he was traumatized... had to tell him they were magic and wouldn't be there forever!), so he's looking for things to do.... I rented 4 Wii games on Friday and he's tired of playing them already.

March 14th - Dorks!

2009-03-15T20:33:00.001-07:00

March 13th - Special Treatment

2009-03-15T20:27:00.000-07:00

Nicky was fairly traumatized today... we took the gauze off of "it" (after a really good McD's breakfast!) and he said that "it" looked "really scary". Taking the gauze off was bad enough, but seeing the stitches... OY. So I set him up in Nick's recliner with the old laptop and some kiddie games to try and take his mind off of "it" looking "really scary"....

March 12th - Surgery Day

2009-03-12T11:16:00.000-07:00

Nicky did REALLY well considering... now he's completely zonked!
The anesthesia they gave him is kickin his arse.
I missed the whole thing. By the time I got the other two on the bus and up to the hospital, he was done and they were wheelin him into recovery.
So we're home now, watching him sleep off the effects of the drugs
(and I keep checkin to see if he's still breathing.... lol!)

2009-03-01T10:20:00.001-08:00

washing the beds! now that we have the new dryer, i can go back to washing these every week (instead of every month, lol!). it's bout time to wash the pillows too, and with it being in the 80s around here lately, it's time to wash and put away the "extra" blankets (yay!). sadly, this isn't all of it... LOL! i still need to grab the stuff of my own bed :S

February 28th - Last Day of the Month...

2009-02-28T21:24:00.000-08:00

i've been trimming my own hair for nearly 20 years. when i was a teenager, my mother put one of those home-perms in my hair. up until that point, my hair was STRAIGHT. since that perm, it's been a semi-curly, frizzy, annoyance. about 5 years ago i discovered the flat-iron and have been straightening it almost daily --- til today. i walked into a hair salon for the first time since 1990/1991 and had a "real" trim, and while we were at it, i had it straightened... permanently. Caroline also got a hair cut - she doesn't look that much different either (she's afraid of change - LOL), but i did have the girl layer it, so hopefully we're done with Little-Miss-Rat's-Nest for a while too!

February 27th - Laziness tsk, tsk

2009-02-27T22:00:00.000-08:00

February 22nd - The Finished Project

2009-02-23T17:44:00.001-08:00

Here's what Caroline's science project ended up looking like - mostly. I had to fold it into thirds so it would stand up on it's own. It doesn't look like much, but she's pretty proud of it, being her first project & having come up with everything on her own!

February 21st - It's Almost Done?

2009-02-22T21:15:00.000-08:00

Caroline worked a bit on her project yesterday... and i'm just now posting a preview, i know bad blogger... i'll post the finished product tomorrow - that picture is still on the camera. The only thing *I* have done so far is print up the papers she typed up. i used a few of the ellies from Geeks Are Hot (a sweet shoppe kit) on each page, per daughter's instructions, lol... she's pretty insistent on doing this herself. it's her first one ever :)

February 20th - The Science Project: Step 1

2009-02-20T18:26:00.000-08:00

it's actually step 2, coz i got suupplies earlier, LOL Caroline has a science project due on Monday (nothing like last minute, eh?) and her "experiment" is pretty much something she saw on Mythbusters a long time ago... Mentos VS Peppermints in Diet Coke.... Which one makes the bigger fizz? Here she is typing up her question, hypothesis, materials and method....

tomorrow we'll be putting the question to the test and taking pictures to print for her posterboard display.
