Summer Fun

Is there anything that is more summer than catching Lighting Bugs? Or is it fireflies? I spent an hour outside braving the other bugs, watching my kids enjoy this time honored tradition. The fireflies love my yard. We got about 35 in a big jar. Just a little hint for other firefly catchers, If you hold the jar upside down they will not get out. Ok one or two might but they go to the top of the jar they are in. It was fun seeing the pure joy on the kids faces. Tonight made me feel like a kid again. I loved it. Yes, Angie, I had the camera and got some good pictures.
So go out and be a kid. See how many you can catch!

I get it from my mom.
So I will make you a deal, you leave comments and I will not use too many bad words.

what day is it?

Ok I am going ot let you in on a little secret. I write my post in apple works first. This gives me the opportunity to look over each and every post. Now I do not always take that opportunity but hey it’s there. Doing this has brought me to one conclusion. I am not that creative. But I have known that for years. I hate writing my thoughts down. It is hard for me to put them down in writing. My mind goes so fast and my fingers can not keep up. I also tend to think about 3 or 4 things at the dame time. for example right this second I am thinking 1. spelling 2. who is playing lava girl A or G. I am hoping it is g. but then who is he playing? 3. if I get paid now thrus. and my mullah isn’t in the bank when can I go get the check from school. (It is direct deposit this month. but then again they said that last month too) 4. what day of the week is it? so for those of you who know me can agree to this statement, I am not a bland as I seem in writing.

With that said, I need to be more constructive. #4 bothers me. I should know what day it is. oh the woes of not having to go to work for weeks. Don’t hate me b/c I’m beautiful. Hate me b/c I am a goody two-shoes. Just kidding I rather you not hate me at all. Just be very jealous.

that would be a poor attempted at humor Speaking of which, I love my kids they constantly keep me laughing. we went to Gellti sellti. Right across the street. I let them get 2 scopes (a small). Me. A got strawberry and mint chocolate chip and ms. G got oreo and mint chocolate chip. I got white chocolate and raspberry sherbet. I know they get their wonderful taste buds from me. So anyway, i wish I had brought my camera. They both had ice-cream all over them. It ws so hot that it was melting before they could eat it. Mr. a handled it like a man, He just let it get all over the table and all over him and all over me. Ms. G now she is a little ocd. She just kept getting more and more napkins and madder and madder b/c she couldn't keep it cleaned up. She was so upset over that ice-cream dripping down her arm that I was afraid I would not be able to get her in the car until she ws scrubbed clean. Guess who wanted in the shower first? Ms. G. Mr. A needed it but he did not care. It was quiet humorous.

I better getting going. I have got to get started on that constructiveness.

Only Me(Lanie) Can Do It!

I have this really old friend. I have known her for years like 20. Well, close enough. She gets me into all this stuff. White water rafting, white water kayaking, blogging, tattoos at the end of July?, you know all the fun stuff. Anyway, She is the best! I just wanted her to know that she is one of the neatest and most wonderful people I know. Who else can I call in the middle of the night to talk about anything. Including her cuz. By the way never date your best friends cusin. (do as I say, not as I do)

So my hats off to Melanie. You will always be Mel to me.

Go check out her blog. She is a neat person. Oh, no links here! I do not know how to do that yet. It is the link at the side (*edit - and below) that says "Dirt and Yarn don't mix"!

the infamous (me)Lanie steps up to the plate

the blog world is being less than kind to my beloved niffer. she tries & tries to get her voice heard, but cannot seem to put word to screen.
here i sit, typing innocently enough, hoping to cure her blog woes.
so much has changed, yet so little.
you will see that the mulitples of titles have disappeared, and here are now tracking who, what, when, why & how. oh yes, you little voyeurs, we have your number!
muwahahaha.
i have seen, in the recent past, two movies that have been vastly overlooked & vastly shamed/shunned by the viewing public. (who ever said the public knew what is good for them anyway?)
first, everyone should see THE NOTEBOOK. this movie makes you wish your first love, that first true, all consuming love is your last & only love. that it works out & you came together & live your happily ever after. it breaks your heart. it makes you want to find that love again.
the second is UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. with all of its cheesy wonder, i still love this one... i love that by betting the bank & relaxing for the ride, you can find the bliss for which everyone is ultimately searching.
huh.
it seems that i have gone on & on... nif will hopefully be back to posting very, very soon...

Tooth Fairy Again!

One of the best parts of being a parent is creating a
childhood full of santa, tooth fairy, tents made out
of sheets, and an imaginary world all their own.

I got do just that this week. I let the little girl
pull out her tooth.(which was really hard) Then I got
to play tooth fairy! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!

Ok let me back up and fill you in on the background.
when my child first got a loose tooth I was getting
address together to send out christmas cards. Well, I
was also asking everyone their opinion on what to do
with the teeth. A lot of parents save them. I didn't
want to save them b/c I did not want any little love
one of mine to find it. So I was not sure what to do.
When I asked cop the Chuck his address he jokingly
asked if I was going to send him the tooth when it
fell out. HAHA! What a good idea. So i did we both
had a good laugh.

Well with 2 new teeth gone guess what, Chuck is
getting more teeth. I hope he takes it as a joke. The
last thing I need is for him or anyone else to think I
stalking him. I have enough drama right now.
Although he is worth stalking. Hey girls make me an
offer and I’ll get you a date with him. We won’t tell
Cop the Chuck that we are auctioning him off. :) I
just hope he doesn’t get hurt or killed and my child’s
teeth are in his house that might be a little hard to
explain, "Honestly, officer, I am not stalking him!"

Anywho, Being a parent can be lots of fun! I love
being able to play TF and not worry about what to do
with the teeth. I would never have the heart to throw
them out. I am such a whimp! Thanks again Chuck, I
owe you! Oh by the way her brother almost knocked one
out yesterday. Keep an eye out for a letter soon.

How do you spell stress?

LIFE!
Yes I have been just a little stressed out lately. I have been busy as hell dealing with teaching,testing Kindergarteners, kids, exhusband, partents, and siblings.
Thank goodness most of it is going to be over soon.
I have tried to post a few times. However, it has not made it to the publishing part. I either do not have time to finish or my fucking mouse keeps jumping around andI end up retyping everything four times. So I jsut give up and start over later.
Let see what has been going on in my life?
My kids a doing good. They get to spend 3 weeks with mark this summer. That sould be nicce. They need to spend time with him. I am just worried about how they will come back b/c mark is the "play Daddy" He will not put them to bed b/c "He doesn't know what time our bedtime is," according to Mr. A and Miss G. He can be just an ass about things if he thinks it can mess me up later on.
ok it is dinner time. I will have to finish this later.
