It's a date

I havent looked forward to a date this much since me and Jake set our wedding date, and got the due dates for the 3 little monkies when I was pregnant. This is the date my mom starts chemo. I (and everyone else too) have been thinking about this date and wondering when it would ever come. I dont know if it is that her inscison has finally healed enough, or they said no more fooling around when she got the cancer on her tongue too... but whatever the reason, she got her start date today. She starts next Wed the 7th. It will be a long, hard haul- 24 weeks worth, but I know she can do it. It is the beginning of the final steps of this whole thing. Once she gets done with chemo, we can think of this in "past" terms. Thankfully they are very thorough and will have her go back every couple of months for the first 5 years and then once a year for the rest of her life. When the doctor said those word to her today, she got so happy and smiled and said "The rest of my life, I like the sound of that." I dont know how she holds it together like she has, but I know that after watching her go through this and feeling so many mixed emotions with her, I dont know a stronger person than my mom. Who said a litte 105 lb lightweight cant be tough?? All I know is that my mom is a hero... for me and anyone who thinks they cant get through something... she is proof that you can. She has been through so much, and look at her. She is amazing and I am so glad she is my mom!!! Go mom!!! We all love you :) You can do this!!!!!

Bored and un-motivated

So I have tons of stuff I want to do today. Phone calls to make, things to clean, laundry to put away, and 

 kids to play with...

 

But, I have  ZERO energy/motivation to do anything! This is going to be a beautiful day to get outside too.  Maybe this half coffe/ half coffee mate that I am drinking will give me that boost :) Just say something to motivate me!!! Kick my butt into high gear- Please!! Haha!!

I will introduce the group of characters from left to right...

"Haylee Montana" Entertaining everyone with her pizazz and show stopping talent!

"Ryan the Dalmation" Melting hearts with his cuddle-ability and big slobbery kisses!

"Andy Earnheart Jr." Running in circles around the rest. So fast, he'll knock your socks off!

"Justinman" Friendly neighborhood spiderman, saving all from the evil do-ers of Shakopee!

"Ra-Ra Rachel" A kid after my own heart :) Cheering on her cousins during a race or while spider-izing enemies

"Princess Rayna" So fitting, minus the devil horns she had on!

"Austin of the Jungle" King of the jungle sitting high on the thrown...Just dare to knock him down and he'll growl at you!

 

The eyes have it

Or should I say, I have had it with my eyes?? I know there are way more important things to be thinking about right now...lots of them in fact! But I just realized last night, how much I hate not having 20/20 vision! I hate having to wake up and put in contacts. I hate having to wear them all day and then take them out every night. That is just so irritating when you are so tired that you stagger like a drunk up the stairs! Oh, gee...hope I dont miss and poke my eye out. But whats the difference then anyway! I can't wear my glasses because I hate them and the way I look in them. If I smile too much, they make the back of my head cramp up...and they give me such a headache. I love it when people put on a pair and look super cute...not me though. I feel like I am peeking out from inside of a little hole in a box at the rest of the world. I could get all cleaned up and ready for my day...but if I put glasses back on, I feel like I am still in my pj's- so even if I am lazy, I STLL have to drag out the contacts and put them in. I was joking to Jake that I should get Lasik. Then he said, "I thought you hated the idea of that??" Yes, infact- I do! I dont know what that laser is going to do to my eyesight when I am 50, 60, 80... No one knows YET! I give up. I pretty much just hate everything that has to do with my eyes- and there is nothing I can do about it. Awwwww....bumm-o.

So, thanks for listening to me whine and complain about something that really does not matter in the least compared to what some people have gone through or are going through in their lives! How petty of me. It's just one of those teeny tiny little annoying things in life that really dont matter all that much- but just annoy the crap out of a person... kind of like mosquitos.

Honoring 2 year old slang!

 

Kids say the darndest things... here are a few of my favorites that Justin has said recently:

-He just honked his noise (as a car honks its horn)

-We just habed jack da appo's (we just had Apple jacks)

-Look at this bubble boy!!! (What he says after he stands up to get out of the bath tub)

-Get out mom! I need my pwivacy. (As he is in the bathroom going potty)

-I dont like gool colos, I like kid colos. (He doesnt like girl colors, he likes kid colors. Apparantly, girls are not classified as kids in his book, only boys are kids!)

- I am in kindo-gawden too! (Wanitng to be like his big brother and go to school too!)

- I like aiwpwames, and wato-hackos! (airplanes and helocoptors!)

 

How funny :)

 

 

Is it Monday?

Why did I wake up this morning all stressed out and grumpy?? This morning has gone so crazy- it feels so much like a monday. The positive thing here, it that it actually is FRIDAY!!!

So, my kids wake up nice and early...still dark out. Thats not hard to do now though, since it is still dark out at 7. Hehehe. (Never said I was a morning person!) It is just sooo hard to drag myself out from underneath my nice warm blankets. I sleep under a sheet, a warm throw blanket, and a down comforter that usually has a flannel duvet on it. See why it's so hard to get out of bed? Well, that, and the fact that Ryan got up once or twice last night and also at 4:30 and wouldnt sleep until I gave him a bottle! Finally I get up and start getting Andy ready for school. There is something in the air, or it is a full moon or something-  I cant believe how much energy these two have! And they are deviant on top of it! Anything they could do to NOT listen, they did! Then as I am on the floor putting Andy's homework and folders in his backpack, I get another surprise! I pick up his red Thursday folder, and some nice runny cat puke drips onto my nice clean pants. The bitc* puked on Andy's homeowrk! No,teacher, my dog didnt eat my homework, my cat threw up all over it! ICK!!!!  So I clean my pants and the folder. Why she aimed for that, I dont know. She is a snot. She is mad at me because she ran out of food in the middle of the night and I wouldnt wake up to feed HER. I will feed my baby at 4 inthe morning, but I refuse to let my damn cat start waking me up for night-time feedings! So needless to say, the cat has been at the foot of the bed almost all night MEOWING, meow, reaaawwww, maw.... Oh, shut up- your just the cat. Ay ay ay. And the day just started. :) Maybe all the weird stuff that could have happened all day, happened at once and now the rest of the day will be smooth sailing!! Heres hoping!

(As I type that, the cat looks at me and meows in my face, like reah right, bitc*, give me the food, or your day will be Hel*, and Ryan wakes up and goes from 0 to bawling in 4 seconds flat).

The curse of a former cheerleader

I wonder if I am alone in this, or if other former cheerleaders are haunted by the same thing. I just went to type an email to my sister-in-law, and I was spelling the word spirit... but the thing is, I cant just spell the word In my head. I am chanting the cheer trying to remember how to spell the word. Spirit, s-p-i-r-i-t- spirit!!!
I do this with the word TOUGH- get tough- t-o-u-g-h. I cant say the word "go", without thinking Lets go, lets go, L-e-t-s-g-o. LETS GO!!!! 
There are so many other examples I could write about, but it is just too embarrassing. Seriously, here I am, almost a half a year away from 30 (holy crap!!) and I am still having these cheers haunting me from about 13 years ago. What is wrong with me... get out of my head!! Hahahha (just teasing). I can honestly say that I have not cheered since 12th grade...so why do they still pop into my head like I said them yesterday? Why do I still rely on them for some spelling? DE-FE-NSE!!! defense!!! YEAH! WOOOO HOOOO rock on baby!!!! HELP ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

HAHAHAHAHa
