Meet Vali "Big Boy"!!!!!

     I wanted to share one of our pets.  This is "Big Boy" Vali (named after one of the Greek God Loki's children...long story we had the best cat ever years ago named...you guessed it...Loki!)

     I rescued him with his brother that you will meet later (along with my other babes)...when he was found he was covered in fleas (thousands!!!) and had the worst case of worms ever and seemed to be starving to death!  Now he's a big baby who is healthy, happy and sleepy obviously lol.

     So don't you think I have the prettiest boy?  I do but I'm partial to him lol.

Updates, Life & Kids...and Suspicious Behavior...

     I haven't updated in a bit.  I do apologize...been a bit busy.  So updates:  weather is crazy here!  20 one day and 70 the next.  Sometimes it doesn't even wait a day at times it from morning to afternoon to night.  And that means...sick kids!  Ugh...plus Spring Break is this week.  I've been helping my oldest one practice softball...catching, hitting, ect.  Not much has happened here...made my husband fire up the grill last night!!! (Sausages, chicken, steak...yummmmm!). Went to Walmart yesterday and  Hero got a glove that will fit and a batting helmet with a face mask.  I played softball and we didn't have face masks on our batting helmets...we just watched out and didn't get hit.  I played hind-catcher so I got hit with balls & the occasional bat (not always accidental some people didn't like trash talk but we were informed to do it).  Anyways...when I went to town yesterday I completely forgot to pickup my son's medicine and order Princess' cake since her party is Saturday.  I am so far behind!!!  All had to go get my mom off the road the other day...her clutch went out when she was almost turning into her mile long driveaway.  My dad bought a new ranger (ATV) and he is loving it!!!
     I also forgot (I think) to update on monkey's checkup.  She had another ear infection but he says she is too little for her age.  33 inches tall and 22.50 lbs. at 2 years old.  So he wants me to make her gain weight (since I can't make her get taller) and come back in 3 months!  If she hasn't gained weight then he wants her to see a specialist.  I just figure she is like my 8 year old (she's smaller than her 6 year old brother) or my great aunt (she's 80) she has just now made it to 130lbs & is 5'2".  My mom, my grandmother, my grandfather, my bio dad and I are all tall...over 5'7".  My mom was 100lbs til she got older or pregnant.  I was 120lbs til I had 5 kids but even now I'm still between 135-140lbs. Princess is up to my chest at almost 10 and weighs 64lbs. So I think its just her...she'll be little!  But you know how dr.s are...  She doesn't eat a lot though...like we offer her food nonstop but never hardly eats!  She refuses meat except potted meat or turkey sandwiches.  She will chew it up (if she even touches it) then she spits it back out!  It's like she gets the flavor but nothing else which he says isn't good!  I hope she gains she we don't have to see a specialist in June.  Oh and I forgot the nurse went to take her vitals like weight and height and that child is soooooooo antisocial ...you would have thought she was getting a shot or something!  Dr says that's just her personality...but I don't know.
     On to the kids...as I said its Spring Break...but I have 2 grounded!  CrazyHorse was suspended off the bus from Thursday til the 24th...but then Friday at 2 I got a call and since I wouldn't let them paddle him or send him to ISS (Honeybun's bully's mom is over it) then he got 1 day suspension.  Then at 2:15 I got another call about Princess (whom has never been in trouble at all) saying the same thing...one day suspension. She tried to get me to take my kids off the do jot paddle list but I didn't budge since when her husband was principal last year and honeybun got her one & only paddling ever he held her hands down while someone else did it and never called me (it says they are to call before or try something else no drastic first which they didn't and they are not suppose to hold any part of the child which they did in the school district handbook).  So my kids are on there for a reason and they'll stay there...no matter how much she keeps trying to get me & my husband to change our minds.  My kids don't like school much anymore which is sad considering they use to cry even if they had to get checked out even 5 minutes early.  If I had the cash & patience they'd be homeschooled.
     Now...suspicious behavior...not my crew...the neighbors across the road in the woods.  Couple months ago I called the cops (sheriff since its out in the county) because the teen girl was down here across the road at the old house place (think falling in, ect) with her friends looking for something in the woods.  Whatever it was they found it and then 2 of the boys started fist fighting over it.  (Same teen girl who rode up and down the road checking all of our mailboxes) (same family that use to live here're and they had a man hunt after the guy that was here was high on drugs, beat the lady and went on he he run in the woods)...but back to last night.  I called the cops about 11pm about flashlights all in the woods and a vehicle parked over there (they tore the you down yesterday and burned it and covered it up...new owners...anyways nothing is left but a fallen in shed and a storm shelter and the trachoe  the construction people used) so the cops came maybe 30 minutes later (yeah...same thought...) anyways they got loud with here and about 20 minutes later she left and never came back but they knew we called because they kept kept shining their lights at my house...but I called because I didn't want the trachoe to get stolen and it was weird due to they were looking in the he ss same me area that the teen girl had with the earlier occurrence.  They were putting stuff in the heir vehicle out of the he woods and such too.  They finally left about 3am.  I didn't go to sleep til they left but would you not consider that weird and suspicious behavior?
     That's really all that's been happening except for working around the house and yard work and such.

Told you the doll was adorable!!!

Rough Day...

     I had a rough day.  One of those days nothing went right.  My CrazyHorse (severe ADHD) was suspended off the bus for biting which he had never done before for 10 days.  Today was day 2 of his 10 days.  We've been up there at least 5 times for the little girl he bit being mean and hitting him with nothing happening to her (she's a lot older than him...by 4 years...) she punched him in the face first so he bit her knowing she wouldn't get into trouble but he got into trouble.  Anyways...back to today!!! Well today he and another little hoy hit a girl in his class because she annoyed him by always chasing him (he's been punished by us for) so he got suspended (can't go to ISS due to Honeybun's bully's mom being the ISS teacher). I got that call at 2pm.  Almost end of the day so since Monday starts spring break he will not go back that Monday after.  Well I thought my day wouldn't get worse but I was wrong...by 2:20pm the school was calling me back...about Princess...(whom has never ever been in trouble before). I was informed since she couldn't go to ISS due to the teacher over ISS she would also be suspended for the day CrazyHorse was suspended too.  She deserved hers for her attitude problems even though her teacher hates her because of her older sister (well both her teachers do).    I do not know what has gotten into them.  Princess has ADHD too but still...but to top my day off ... Monkey was horrible!!!  She even ripped my poster on my bathroom door into pieces which I had to piece back together with tape...today was not a great day!!!  Or the great start to spring break.  Princess also turns 10 the day before school starts back (suspension day). I guess the day could have been worse if I had gotten calls on the other two.
     Anyone have one of these days lately?  Anyone know what could be the cause? Nothing has changed!!!

This reminds me of my children.


Happy Birthday Monkey!!!

     Sorry everyone I wasn't around yesterday but Monkey turned 2!!!  Of course we are going through our 2nd turn of pneumonia & strep throat in 2-3 weeks.  No fun! HoneyBun's having her first ever sleep over tonight with her best friends!!!  (I'm excited!!!). Monkey will have a small get to get her tomorrow since she is very antisocial even toward her grandparents.  (She will say grantma and grantpa and might hand them a toy but nothing else...ever!!!). CrazyHorse seemed to be extra crazy yesterday afternoon...too much candy at school I'm guessing!  Princess was great yesterday.  She helped her dad clean the van and make a run into town.  (Van needed cleaned since my HoneyBun ate stroganoff and her tummy can never handle it). Princess also went with grantma and Hero to town later to buy softball stuff for Hero.  I'm excited her practices start Monday!!!  They were going to start last night but with temps in the 20s...they were canceled.  I played softball for years and I'm hoping she will love it.  (FYI I also played basketball for a bit). Hero already has a full plate...Mondays she will have karate 4-5:30 in a town over (she's a red belt but soon can go for black belt as soon as she's 13) then homework then softball practice from 7-8:30 plus supper and bed.  Then Wednesdays she has karate from 4-5.  Thursdays she has softball practice from 7-8:30.  Really sad its so late at night but littler kids practice first.  Her first game is next month I think but she's a fast learner and I think she will do great since I've tried to teach her a bit and she can really throw a ball.  Only issue she will have is...she has weak ankles and is notorious for getting sprains and strains in them.  Enough about that!
   Watched a good movie last night with the husband.  It's an older movie but good except the end disappointed me.  It was Scenic Route with Josh Dummel (think I spelled that right).  Anyone seen it?
   What else...Oh!  Got an awesome deal at the pawn shop the other day!!!  Found book 1 & 2 of the Last Airbender in excellent condition for $4.00!!!  CrazyHorse is loving me!!!  Also found a PS3 eye, move controller, skylander giants portal & game with 8 or 9 skylanders for......drumroll please.......$40.  Might seem like a lot but those characters are over $10 bucks each!  I priced one of them on amazon and used one of the characters was $20 and that's used!!!  I was excited!  (I give husband credit for that find since he insisted we buy it!!!). I was excited but all the characters were new and none we owned!  I also purchased a year long subscription of All You with digital copy too for $5.00 (almost cost at store for one copy)!!!  I'm always on a lookout for great deals!!!  (And freebies and samples)...
     I was also going to talk about pets in this blog.  Does any one of you have pets?  We do and we have a houseful...well most are outside.  We have 2 turtles whom I refer to dirty deeds and dirt cheap...and if you ever think of getting turtles please reconsider...they take a lot of work, they are not clean animals and are not cheap to care for.  I'd get rid of them but they are the husband's now since kids don't want them but our landlord gave them to the kids over a year ago and they are huge!  We also have 2 doggies...Lily and Bailey.  Our cocker spaniel and dachsund babies.  Even at 4 & 5 years old they still act like puppies...good guard dogs too.  We also have my babies...(whom the kids will tell you are theirs but they are not) our 3 kitties!!!  We got 2 siblings (boy/girl) about 3 months ago.  Hela is black and white and not social but she's just learned to purr finally.  Then there is my big boy Vali whom is a blue grey color and has beautiful green eyes!  He's such a lover boy and I love him.  They are named after the god of mischieve, Loki, since those were 2 of his kids names.  (We use to have the best cat ever named Loki I got from a friend the day we left our military family and he was ran over by a corvette a few years later...). Then we also got an unexpected surprise one night during a bad thunderstorm...our fatty cakes came to us out of nowhere...I went everywhere trying to find if she belonged to someone but with no luck she stayed and we named her Storm.  She is and always has been so love able and friendly.  That's the rest of our family...our animal babies.
     Nothing else much has been happening within our little chaotic world.  Tomorrow I have to go pick up Monkey's cake from the grocery store and have the small get together.  Last year was Cookie Monster and I made her a tutu and shirt and headband and all but not this year.  She said no she's not girly but still wanted her a Minnie Mouse cake.  I wish she would let me make her a tutu or would have gotten a sponge bob cake I have the cutest songbook tutu complete with the little tie and all but I still might let her use it if its not back cold.  (Our weather has been 20 one day and 75 the next...hence the sickness)...
     So everyone I bid you farewell...for now and hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
