My teens are getting older, but I am still crazy....

Ok, I have decided that I need to continue this account of my childrens life. Fast recap, my oldest is now 20 (WOW) and yes he still lives at home, but its ok....they will leave soon enough. Ok, my daughter is now 16 ((driving and dating, somewhat)) and a junior in High School, and my baby is 15 and a freshman in High School. So I guess, that two of the kids still qualify as teens, and I am still crazed...so this blogg is still going on.

I dont know how it happened, but my babies are moving on,...((well soon that is)). But it does make a crazed mom stop and reflect on all the funny, sad, weird, time consuming, hairy pulling (mine), late night, sleep deprived state that my life once held. I can so remember wishing, praying, screaming to have some time where I was not nursing, changing diapers, washing, cooking, taking somewhere, holding hair while they got sick, wiped part of their bodies that you just dont want to know about....this all seemed like yesterday. I can remember my mom giving me the motherly advice I give my children, that time goes fast enjoy it (them) while you can. And of course, mom was right. My babies, are now adults and young adults, they eat, sleep, get their own food (sometimes), hold their own hair, drive themselves, take their own baths, so I now have what I wanted....time, quiet, aloneness...how odd, the thing I wanted so much, now I miss so much. Ok quit sniffling, I do enjoy of the time that I am not needed to wipe body parts. But I do miss the cuddles, even though I make them (yes even the 6ft4 boy) sit and cuddle for small amounts of time. But all in all, once school and the dinner hour are done, they retreat to their domains...not to be seen again untill there is more food, or money to be handed out.

There is a small recap. I will be writing weekly on their antics and my thoughts on this matter. Their names will be blocked out for their privacy...yea, right. So read and follow and enjoy.

So many guys in the house.....

Well lets see, I had the house all to myself today...so I did what every one wants to do. HOMEWORK..
Aimee is in VA, David was in OBX for a church retreat and sam and Patrick went to an Indian Mound.
So one by one, the males came home and man the house smelled like sweat UGH! Thank heavens for fabreeeeze. Don't get me wrong I love the men in the house, but man oh man...! I sure miss my Aimee, the house needs a little estrogen......Ok, no the house needs alot of estrogen...cause I am lacking in that department...ugh....
So while the boys were watching some black and white war movie, I retreated to my bedchamber, to do some writing and watch TOY STORY 2 (dont judge me)...
I am/was a well of stuff to write about, but that was hours ago and of course I lost my password to this account so I had to reset,....blah blah blah. Enough of my whinning...for now.

Eyes are falling I must go now. This was a little ~non funny~ but hey even the most seasoned comic has an off day. So there you have it..for a week there will only be ME, one female, just a small amount of estrogen and so I will probably grow facial hair.....oh man, I already have..gosh I love being OLD.
Ok really signing off now, I will be much funnier and will write more indepth later.
until then....chow

Prom 2010.....The first of many!!



There she is....Aimee, (oops did I say her real name?, NAH)...my baby girls first prom. She was with people she didnt really know. Can you tell? YIKES...


She is so my daughter, funny, cute, humble, modest, funny...did I say funny. I will try to get the picture of her with the Band's formal picture taken in Washington DC..its a good one also.! I am so happy she went to the Prom, I will also post her pretty girl picture. Worth every dime, you know dress, shoes, nails, hair,....
I am so proud of her...she is a ME in a petite body!..
This is the little girl who would only wear her hair in a scuntchy (refer to past bloggs), I just wouldnt have ever thought her to be this amazing, beautyful...
*On a gushy note, while she was getting her hair done, she looked over at me and I swear I saw her when she was 5...I had to blink a couple of times to see her back as a 16 year old young woman...But you know at me she will always be my baby girl.
More stuff to come....hopefully funnier things...but you know a house full of teens and a 20 year old without a job...not too funny anymore hahah booohoooo
