i never update i never post...but what can i say? i'm a mom of 3 kids & when i DO get to sit i'm so dam tired i forgot why i sat in the first place...lol

gotta get my ass in gear - i need to get started on some etching so i can hopefully get some sold this winter...or at least for NEXT year...lol

anxiously awaiting school (YAY for the 24th!!!) so i can have a little free time to get my life in order (read: clean)...yeah sure:P

well yet another cake class went by this week & i am enjoying it more & more...especially since i was successful in making roses :D:D:D

the weather's been crap lately...cold, rain, hail...*sigh*

kids are...well...kids i guess

*shivers*

actually, it's been a helluva weekend. 

friday we...um...hell i don't even remember friday but i know something exausting happened.

no...wait...NOW i remember.  rick was supposed to go to his mom's & change the motor in his car...no one was there when we got there so he decided to go with me & lily to have lunch with gram & her friend who were passing through.  after lunch i dropped rick back off at his moms & went to town with lily to go to the store & run errands.  we get back home JUST in time for the bus..at which point i realize i forgot the dog's food i take all 3 kids & i go BACK out.   fun shit.   rick comes home eventually...sans the new motor...
that's a long story for another day.

saturday we decided to take the kids hiking cause it was goregous.  after the 2 or so miles of hiking we got ice cream :)  (this was after i spent the AM doing laundry, mind you, & hung it to dry in the yard)  dishes...dinner...i was TIRED...went to bed @ 9.

TODAY we again had lunch with gram (she waqs going home this time) & then did some driving to find some caverns we'd like to explore later this summer.  hit a thrift store & bought the kids a new monitor for their comp...only to bring it home & find out their power supply died.  *sigh*

thank god for school tomorrow...now i'll have time to make another cake & frosting for my class on tuesday. 

it never ends.....

i don't post here enough...every couple years seems to be the average...but who reads it anyways??

it's been crazy here as usual...kids are 4 (lily) 6 (skyler) & 8 (adian) now & in preschool, 1st & 2nd grades, respectively.   i've been super getting lily back & forth to school & keeping the house (semi)kept up. 

i've also started taking cake decorating lessons recently...it's been interesting...lol
for pics check my myspace:)

maybe i'll start keeping this up again...maybe.

 ok so it's been....what 2 years? 2 1/2 years since i've posted in here.

a lot has happened since then, obviously.  
adian is in 1st grade, skyler is in kindergarden & lily is now 3.  rick is no longer working for 7up (YAY) he's now working for pepsi making $4 more on the hour than he was before.  
we lost rick's brother, jason, just over a year ago in a motorcycle accident so it's been a hard year for him & the rest of the family. 
things have not been the best for us for the most part but with the new job things are actually starting to look up.  
hopefully things will CONTINUE to look up & maybe we can finally get out of this sinkhole that we seem to be stagnating in.  
anyways enough boring stuffs....i might actually keep this journal up for a while so there's no reason for me to bore you to death right away - there's plenty of time for that later.

umm...let's see....

blew a tire in the van the other day..in the middle of nowhere...no cellphone...all 3 kids with me...by myself.   is there any OTHER way to blow a tire?...lol...fixed now but certainly stressful enough

oh yeah & it was on my anniversary too...happy fucking anniversary *rolls eyes*

house is semi-clean & it's hotter than hell here....

nothing too exciting otherwise...lily will be crawling soon - she's up & rocking & trying to pull up on the couch yay!   and the boys are irritating monsters...lol

anyone want some free kids?

 

there carla you happy now?....lol

i'm lazy...i don't update & honestly i don't care...lol
gotten tired of my messy house & rick constantly bitchin so i've been gettin off my ass & cleaning...oh gods the horrors!!

my kids are driving me up a damn wall - the boys won't listen anymore & if you tell them "no" they come back 2 seconds later with "now?"
lily is teething & her first tooth is through (YAY YAY YAY) she was a screaming bitch til it came through....damn

and nothing else too exciting is going on here...on friday we go see Veggietales live in columbus & in august rivk & i go take a night off (saturday THROUGH sunday thank god) & go see Phantom of the Opera (plus a hotel room)
right in time for a late anniversary (that is in 8 days) so we'll get the "honeymoon" we never had

ok, bored you all enough i'm gone!

think i'm the only person who reads this & if anyone else does i bet they're bored beyond tears...

 

been a shitty month & i feel crappy

 

 

allergies...

 

really bad today...

 

need i say more?

it's been 2 weeks since i posted here....ah well i'm just lazy i guess...

not a whole lot going on around here, just been really tired lately, maybe i'm lacking iron or something...

anyway the kids are driving me fucking nuts as usual...they've been fighting with each other non-stop...well not NON-stop when they're not fighting they're either wrestling (nicely) or being almost too sweet to each other....boys *rolls eyes*    lily is just such a goober...lol....what a little ham she is.  she has her daddy wrapped so tight around her little finger that i'm surprised he hasn't passed out yet =oP   She's decided she'd rather roll from back to front than front to back.  then she screams when she ends up on her tummy cause her arms are stuck under her....go figure...leave it to MY kid to always do it the hard way jeez.

anyways i'm off here for now...before i start typing with my face.....

 

ummm...

yeah.

OK i really need to vent today...lol  i am so fucking sick of these gas prices & the gov't NOT raising our wages....it is absolute bullshit that they do this shit to us...how sad that you have to decide between puttin gas in your car & feeding your kids...BUT if you don't put the gas in your car you can't go to work & thus don't feed your kids..

also all these damn rumors about them reinstating the draft....even if by some miracle they DON'T do it  just the pure idea of the draft is crap...doesn't it go against our constitutional freediom of choice???  what happened to that???  there are hundreds if not thousands of women out there in the armed forces who WANT to be on the frontlines..but will they let them? NO they won't...   instead of taking our kids - straight out of high school - they need to look @ those who WANT to go out there & do damage....if they want disposable soldiers they need to empty out the prisons & send the convicts out there...get them off of OUR tax dollars.  & is it just me or is it a bunch of shit that they can send these poor kids out to die @ 18 but they can't drink?....i've just brutally murdered 50 men...here, have a beer & relax...no thanks man, i'm not old enough yet.

it's all BULLSHIT!...& i swear to GOD that if i go to my baby brother's graduation in another month or so & then have to turn around & go to his fucking funeral 6 months later beacuse they drafted him & he was killed (or even if they lure him in with promises of a free college education)...i'll sue the fucking government, the army, the president...& anyone else i can think of...for my parents who lost a child, for my kids who lost an uncle, for the wife he could have had & the kids who never would be....

it's pure bullshit.

i'm thinking it's time to start a petition about what time the sun comes up...around 10am would work for me...lol

the kids think that they need to be WITH the sun, damn them....7am is NOT acceptable!

thinking maybe i should clean some today...i hate cleaning...but i suppose being able to walk without falling on your face is nice

*sigh*

i was forced to join this place by this crazy psycho ...she rocks!!

i dunno how this works yet, but when i figure it out i'll be sure to let me know =oD

um....yeah.
