Snapshot

-Loo now lives in imagination land!! She comes up with so many new things each day it is so great!

-Mansers is a little imp. He copies every word we say and his vocab is huge.

-City Boy is working like a mad man. His hours are super long and it's running him ragged. Hopefully he can come with us to NM in May.

-I have been a total hermit until this week. I had a meeting with some high muckedy muck military people that were looking for feedback about military life here at Scott. It was neat to have the chance to meet and talk with people who can actually get things done.

- We are going to Nm in May for Taylor's graduation.

Good Moring Sunshine!!

Good morning being the operitive word. Loo an Mansers have this amazing ability to periodicaly switch things up leaving me in a wimpering heap on the floor.
An example you say ok here's a few.
Mansers likes to run from me. This may not seem like a big deal but man o man this is a cardinal offense. My children WILL NOT run from me. I can't have them thinking it's a funny game to run. The other day my perfectly trained Loo decided she was going to run from me for the first time in her three years of life and ran directly into a moving car tire. Oh yes. It was bad. Luckily the car was reversing very slowly but if she had hit it any differantly the tire would have taken her under. She was fine but I put the fear in her.
WOW that was a tangent, anyways Donovan runs from me as we are getting ready to leave and we are already late, it's been a bad week. I refuse to chase him so I wait. The twenty pound 22 month old begins taunting me. This I cannot handle and scream in frustration. One of those I have to scream or I will implode type moments. The type that the neighbors come running cause it sounds like I found a dead body scream. Now most kids would be scared and cry, but these are my children. They look at each other and .......... start making the same scream as me and giggleing. They think it's a game. Is nothing sacred?? Not even they terrible cry of a mother slipping further in to a insanity??
Nope not to my children they just taunt me.

Here's another example of me being tortured by two small children, not unlike the children of the corn kid. They look so sweet but it's pure unadulterated evil underneath.
Every six months they start waking up either an hour later or an hour earlier. Yep my children actually prepare for Daylight Savings Time. Like now. They usually wake up at eight but this week they've woken up at seven!! See it's is just shocking how depraved they are!!!

Guess what I'm not doing!!

HI. I'm back. Right now the suitcases are unpacked but the vaccuum claener is strung across the upstairs hallway floor and the duster is on the banister. I should be organizing my cabinets and pantry or doing laundry. I obviously will not be doing that now. I'd rather write.
Going home was so fun. For once I wasn't stressed or upset or running away from something (yes I know, very mature of me). I just hung out on the porch swing while my children returned to the savage wild west and ran barefoot naked and grubby in the back yard, the way all children were meant to grow up. The kids loved seeing Mimi and Papa, wish they saw more of Grammy and Papa, and had so much fun with the cousins. Saidi was spoilt and Donovan was also.
Mimi gave into him and he rolled out of the ABQ Disney store in his stroller chariot with two of the exact same dalmation stuffed animal clutched in a death grip, smiling like theres no tomorrow. NO Mom he was not cute but I know you are a sucker for grandkids so it's ok.

I don't care what you say but I had so much fun on our girls over nighter. I enjoyed talking and laughing and making fun of life. Kassi's babyshower was so much fun. Cody takes such good care of her.

Now here's the catch. Perfect trip, I loved it and it was stress free. Dun Dun Dun. I lost my phone on the plane and it is being mailed to me from Houston. (How fitting.) When we get home that night the dog we are sitting for some friends jumps the baby gate and rip's his toenail off. I feel so bad for him and he bled everywhere. So we get him all wrapped up and sit with him on the couch for a while to sooth him. When we put Saidi to bed her room is freezing. The Craptastic house we live in has settled so much that the floor has dropped 2 inches from the baseboard and the 11 degree wind is blowing through her room.

I knew I should have knocked on wood.
