long week.

It's been a long week, and i can't really figure out why... strange. Monkey had his field trip to the science museum. Let me just say, wow. 5th graders are way more mature and know alot more that I did in the 5th grade. I can't count the number of cuss words i heard. The girls, well they look like 8th or 9th graders. The kids were nuts, and frankly didn't learn a thing in my opinion. One kid was actually hanging off the balcony on the 2nd story to the open area below. The guard asked what school we were with. I was quick to say "i have my 6 kids here, this is my group"! We quickly walked on after telling him. I much prefered the 1st grade field trip, they behaved so much better!! Monkey thanked me for going though, so that made it worth while. He had a great time he said, didn't learn a thing but socially he had a good time. Why not just take them to the park next time and save the gas money? He's trudging along with his skateboarding obsession. He's getting quite good at it. I'm glad he's found a new passion. This week was Rodeo day also, the kids get to wear their cowboy clothes. Monkey is apparently way too cool for this, so he opted out. Midget, well she is all over that one. She had outgrown her boots, so she had to get a new pair. I had found this vest and top on clearance at penney's for 7 dollars! She loved it, so it went well without being to hillbilly :) Plus she says the glitter on the shirt worked well for self defense. :) If those boys messed with her, she would rub them with her sleeve and glitterfy them. Did you know that was a word? In her world it is. Maybe we should glitterfy the talliban? Big missles full of glitter upon our enemies!!!
Oh, and here are the pics of Monkey's project. They didn't turn out to well. He did however get 100's on all parts of it!!

school project

We are knee and elbow deep in glue, pipe cleaners and paint. I always love school projects :) The only part i don't love is having to reign in my control freak self from straighttening and fixing the parts that aren't just so. Monkey is 10, and is capable of doing these himself, mostly. But we all know, there are the kids whose parents are doing them for them, and his will be sitting next to them. Whose to say the teacher will grade fairly? I'm doing fairly well, and walked off last night so i didn't stick my nose in where it wasn't wanted. he's done a great job, and has asked for some help with the super glue, and things he can't do. It's been a learning experience, but tons of fun. It's a diarama, a scene in a shoe box. He picked a science fiction book called saga. I am leary of the laser guns, and stuff, but hopefully we won't get a call from the counselor ;)

Fun, fun, fun...

So Valentines day here, not so good. The hubby did really well though. He sent the same flowers that were in my wedding boutquet, my absolute favorite daisies, mixed with roses. He even sent the little midget some lavender roses, she was so thrilled with that. So as daddy says, mommy has her flowers on her table and baby girl has her flowers on her table. I was spending the day throwing up and felt like i was going to walk into the bright light.... I guess maybe as we get older the sick bugs hit us harder? That was miserable. To make matters worse, although it seemed better at the time... We had gone to my moms to take her her valentines present the day before. We had also gotten monkey some new trucks for his board for valentines day... no flowers for him ;) well mom called last night, sounding awful, asking how long does this bug last? oops... If the whole the older you get theory is true this does not look good.. it last a day and a half here. Sorry mom :( So i guess i will say it, tacky as it sounds, i can't resist, my valentines day blew chunks :) ha ha ha...
And to the love of my life, 16 or 17 years ago, which was it? The best valentines day present ever, and i never thought it would have been that day, was the windshield wipers, go figure.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's and puking..

Kind of go hand in hand don't they ;) We had a puking princess here, literally. Midget is the only girl i know who would wear a tiara to throw up. Poor little girl. Atleast she made it through her party before she started. This means monkey get's cash tomorrow, which he might prefer. Those are her oh so special valentines we made. She had to make those, and it was a chore, but htey were neat. Don't know the kids all got the scratch- off concept, but oh well. She felt good about giving them, so that is what counts i suppose. We had fun making them together too. :)
Monkey's school did nothing for valentines day, and i'm good with that. Those girls need no encouragement. I can't believe how aggresive they are! At this point i know he's rather skate on his board, than be talking to a girl. I'll keep it thatg way as long as i can.

moving on.

This week is ending, finally.. We just left midget's party, to go spend some fun time together and get monkey's valentine day present. Half way there, she threw up all over herself and the car. So i guess she has whatever he had. Fun times...
this is a hilarious video1!!

Bad news all around

This is just the week for bad news.. Can it please end already? I found out monday that my sweet little midget has to go back to the dentist to get some work done. This is not going to be easy for her at all :( She is such a trooper though. Yesterday monkey came home from school to say " my friends dad shot his mom and sister on friday..." Ummm, what???? Apparently the parents were getting divorced and he wanted the little brother, they were fighting and the sister in ninth grade got into it also. So he lost it and shot them both. So he is worried about what will happen to his friend. He wants to know where he will go. How do you explain that to a child? What a world we live in. I hope the little boy finds some peace, and love wherever he ends up. Now he is without a mom, sister, and his dad is going to prison. To top it off, he woke up sick this morning, and is missing the taks practice test. Which is a cardinal sin in the schools.
Hopefully these days pick up, and i pray that my little midget doesn't get whatever bug this is. Oh happy days!!!
