I want to reach otu and ask for prayers but it all sound so dumb right now. so i cant. My grandmother passed last night and my father just called to tell me. as soon as i saw the message from his girlfriend telling me to call him it was urgent i knew in my heart what he had to say. I immediatly went numb. i still am. I dont know how many followers i have left after the much needed break i took from everything but those of you that do read this please pray for my family. we lost an amazing woman last night.<br />

With that said let me tell you I'm not a easily creeped out person for the most part.I'm one of those ppl that watch scary movies just to see if they will scare me.Ive taken friends to the <a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/517/000092241/">Jane Wyatt</a>, haunted whore house and seen some WEIRD shit. candles flickering in windows where there was nobody there. checking the place out during daylight hours and all the wooden shutters having been shut then coming back at dusk and all of them except the ones for the room someone was supposedly murdered in being open. Now mind you this wasn't public property we were on and before we went out there myself and a close friend were the only ones that knew the way out there plus huge logging chains kept the gates shut. Plus it was a mile hike from the gate to the house. so the likely hood of anyone going in there on a Sunday night, in the hour we were gone to get flashlights, just to mess with us is super super slim. Ive gone to the Tb hospital and seen shit.. dude ill admit that crap was freaky. we all(5) of us stayed together the entire time. Walked upstairs and that was where they kept the children. The pain was peeing and crazing the beds in the bedroom were scattered about. The children's toys were still laying in the floor. The room was painted light yellow but the paint had long since started changing color and fading. some spots were yellow some were almost white. EXCEPT one single closet That closet door was open just like the other, But its bright yellow paint looked brand now. in the dark with out a flash light we could all tell that. talk about a creepy feeling.. there were claw marks on the inside of the door. All of us were focused on this room/closet. discussing WHY there were claw marks on the inside of a small closet door. When we turned around.. all the beds in the room were lined up nicely the paint was all yellow again and the toys were piled in a corner. THAT the most scared Ive ever been in my life! needless to say we took off out of there like our asses were on fire. Many ppl have asked me how to get there since then. Ive never told any one i always say " find it like we did ". Ive been on the grounds of the old hospital once. but refused to go in. the group that went in had a similar incident happen but i refused to go in. now with all that said.......</div><div style="text-align: center;">The baby woke me at 5:45 this morning. against my will i might add. I had no desire to get up but i did need to pee. So like usual i set the baby in the floor and ran to pee. hoping a quick bottle and he would doze back off. I still had almost an hour to sleep for goodness sakes. while i was making his bottle i heard a phone go off. no biggie. 3 ppl in this house have cell phones and the kids have countless old ones they play with. i figured the oldest's was going off, or maybe he had miss set his alarm. then i realized the baby was playing with mine so he must have hit a button. Nope i don't have that ring tone. before i figured where it was coming from it stopped. so i snatched up the baby and crawled back in bed. not 5 min later there it went again.. i figured it must be one of Sissy's she plays with and let it play. a few min later it went off again. this time i tried to pinpoint where in my room the phone was. Then mid song it switched.. then stopped. i laid back down with the baby.. That was pointless. By now he was wide away so i took him in the living room to play. Frankly i was slightly irritated at this phone that kept going off. I turned on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Train-Dinosaurs-Under-Sea/dp/B003M986JI/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1302782343&sr=1-1">dinosaur train</a>, and started coffee. then that damn phone went off again.. same song and then switched mid song..</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found the damn thing.. then i got the creeps.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The phone wasn't really much of a phone anymore. Its the keypad half of a old cell phone that got broke about a year ago. The battery was dying when it got broke. All song/ring tones were saved on a memory card.. them memory card is no longer in that phone. I knew this phone was DEAD. don't know why we still had that half. To prove a point to myself i took out the battery and stuck it in another old phone we have that works but has no service. the battery was DEAD. So i put the batter back in the half phone. NEVER TOUCHED the power button.. and the damn thing went off again. This time it was a diff song. something by Brad Paisley. I was officially creeped out.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then i realized all three ring tones were songs i liked.. LOVE songs i liked.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hubby and i have been having major issues last few days. i broke down in tears at a friends last night over it.. The big D word has crossed my mind a few times in the past few days.. esp last night..</div><div style="text-align: center;">Funny thing is.... phone hasnt gone off again..</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is it a sign? Or is it just plain screwed up?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh and while the phone was seriously skeeving me out and i was having this weird revelation about all the songs being love songs.. the sound refused to work on the TV or the radio..</div><div style="text-align: center;">So please.. give me your thoughts.. I'm begging you!!!</div><br />

Funny i think that crying jag from the other day brought it on! i went to bed feeling worn out.. woke up with a sore throat. I had a lunch date with a friend of mine from high school and i was determined sore throat or not i wasn't going to miss it! And i didn't!! We had a great lunch at a local yummy Mexican restaurant! BUT by the time i got home i felt like poo! so i laid the little ones down with me and took a nice long nap.. THAT my dear.. was my mistake.. i woke up feeling like total CRAP! my head was stuffed up. my nose was running.I had a cough. and a sore throat and my body ached. I Fixed the kids dinner and jumped in a HOT shower. praying for this to go away.. no suck luck.. So off to bed we all went a tad bit early.. now when we got in the bed i was FREEZING. so cold i added an extra blanket to the bed.. by midnight i was sweating and continued to do so the rest of the night. yesterday morning i felt a tad better, the body aches and sore throat were gone but in its place came the inability to breathe</div><div style="text-align: center;">and............2 sick babies!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">today after some much needed NyQuil.. I'm left with only the constant struggle to breathe and a cough.. well.. and 2 sick babies...</div><div style="text-align: center;">My oldest is spending the weekend at his dads so he is safe from the germs for now!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Can i give theraflu to my kids? does anyone know?</div><div style="text-align: center;">super tempted to give them NyQuil right now( don't worry i never would)</div><div style="text-align: center;">i guess I'm gonna go tend the little sickies at chateau le crazy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm going to try to write this without crying.. i doubt ill make it though.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ever know your fixing to lose something/someone? It hurts.. its like the pre hurt before the real heartache sets in. I guess its like you preparing for the pain that's coming by getting just a taste of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My step moms mother is dying. She has lived a long good life.I wish i could sit here and pretend my family will live forever but I'm soon going to lose all three of my remaining grandparents. I remember the heart ache so vividly of hearing my grandmother died.( my mothers mom) The woman that raised me, my best friend. I had never felt anything like that before. Right before she passed i had, had a miscarriage.. but that pain was different. i didn't know the baby. Sure i loved it. but i had spend my lifetime with my grandmother. I thought i would never stop crying.. ever..</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now my step moms mother is dying.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I guess i should back up..My step mom and i .. well we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things to put it lightly.. i resented her for marrying my dad and taking me from my grandparents. She resented me.. well because she had to take care of me. We didn't have the best relationship.. shit who am i trying to fool we didn't have a good relationship at all.I always felt like an outsider growing up. Except on Sundays when we would go to grand moms house.She never treated me like i was an outsider. From the day i met her she greeted me with open arms. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Grand mom wasn't one of those Betty crocker warm cozy, come sit in my lap grandmothers. She was tough and hard, a no nonsense type woman. But i ALWAYS felt loved when i was at her house. I used to HATE the weekends when i would have to be home with my step mom. But i always looked forward to Sundays when we went to Sunday diner at grand moms. She always had the best food. You know that old fashioned down home cooking you just cant get anywhere but in a grandmothers kitchen.. yea THAT kind of Sunday dinner.I loved feeling like even for just a few hours i was a part of a family. That someone out there truly loved me no matter what i did.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My step mom hugged me 6 times in the 11 years i lived with her. i heard the words "i love you" uttered from her lips towards me less than that. Even the couple times she said it i never felt it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">With grand mom i didn't have to hear it.. the look in her eyes showed it. The hug at the end of a Sunday told me she loved me. Somehow no matter how hard things were with a hug from grand mom i knew i could get through the next week.</div><div style="text-align: center;">After graduation i left home. Vowing to never look back.. That's so hard to do. I kept my distance from my step moms family after her and my daddy split out of respect for her. I didn't want to make things awkward for anyone. After i had my first son i tried to go back and see grand mom but plans got changed.. and i figured maybe it was for the best. Now ten years after i left home I'm sitting here kicking myself for not going back. for not ever telling her how much she helped me through some of the worst times of my life with out ever saying a word. i knew in my heart i could have told her everything about how things really were but i never did, just knowing gave me the strength. </div><div style="text-align: center;">She went into hospice last week and i so badly want to go see her. But i have no idea what to say when i see her. I don't know if i can be strong enough to not cry when i go see her. I know i couldn't do it and write this. as i sit here tears are streaming down my face. So I will tell her here...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Grand mom,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you For the love you gave me and always making me feel like part of your family.</div><div style="text-align: center;">.Thank you for unknowingly giving me the strength to keep going. I'm sorry i stayed away all these years but i know you understand. I will never stop loving you and will always carry your memory in my heart!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bree</div><div style="text-align: center;">The world might not miss her when she goes, but i know her family will, including me</div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't wait until its too late to go see the people you love and care about. You just might not ever get the chance.</div><br />

This f&*%$d up weather has got me all screwed up! Not to mention my computer has gone a bit wonky on me! One of my fans or some shit is going out. UGH!You see i was gonna make y'all this nice cute button for my blog.. but old mr. dumb ass computer decided against that and shut down before i saved the page with the instructions on how to do it. So until i find that page again.. umm y'all are gonna have to deal with out one!<br />
I'm having mommy issues too. Not trying to make excuses or anything but My ex jackass decided to let me know this last weekend that now that he has his own place ( with his Gf and her 2 kids) that he wants our son, my oldest. to start staying the night with him every other weekend. Now thats our custody agreement but i had found a way around it with his last Gf. then he was living with his mom, then a funky alcholic roommate, then his mom again. so i always had a way around it for the past 3 years. NOW i don't. and to be completely honest i don't like it.Not one single bit! So i started thinking and i realized that the weekends he wants are the weekends he doesn't work. BUT they are also the weekends the my sons best friends are at their dads.. the only weekends he can go stay the night over there.. He doesn't go to the same school as them anymore so he doesn't get to see them on a regular basis. So i proposed to my ex that the boy stay with him every other Friday night.. that way he can go to his friends on Saturday night and go to church with his friends Sunday! PLUS that way he would get to go to church because if he stays with his friends they always take him to church with him and he goes on the weekends hes with me. Am i being selfish? I just don't want him hurt like he was with his fathers last GF who had kids. Or maybe i just don't want him to get comfy with his soon to be step mom ( which he doesn't know that yet)!I guess im just gonna have to put on the best mommy face i can muster on Friday when his father comes to get him. GOD I'm gonna miss him!<br />

Don't you??</div><div style="text-align: center;">So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when i was given a package from my oldest son when he came in from getting the mail!1 I got that fluttery excited feeling in my tummy. i didn't recognize the sender! I kept saying hmm who could this be from.. wonder what it is and doing my happy dance until my kids finally yelled "MOM JUST OPEN IT!!!!"</div><div style="text-align: center;">The postmark said UNITED KINGDOM..</div><div style="text-align: center;">That got me even more excited.. i asked my son all gaspy like.. </div><div style="text-align: center;">"did the queen finally claim me as her long lost grandchild and send me a gift??" </div><div style="text-align: center;">he just laughed and rolled his eyes and told me to open the package already!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So i opened the package.. it felt like a shirt.. so i opened it super slow for the sake of the kids..</div><div style="text-align: center;">Guess what.. IT WAS A SHIRT!!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">with this ADORABLE MONKEY on it!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">No, it wasn't from the queen.. BUT it had a monkey on it so i was tickled anyway!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then i remembered i signed up to review a shirt from <a href="http://www.tshirtprinting.net/">tshirt printing.net</a>. Rock on! i had totally forgotten about it.. plus i forgot where i signed up at!</div><div style="text-align: center;">OOPS!</div><div style="text-align: center;">* Martin when you read this can you please let me know if you remember </div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway.. wanna see the shirt?? Cuz of course as soon as i saw it had a monkey on it i ripped off my shirt and threw this one on! Its soo cute!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHyd7ZqCT56BlUTxiueuYbyahtM-TewPVzoqSIXehC3YxUJl0d-fSME2MSjQ6uMds1q5W-hrTdYbdo0PEm88AXzt26zyeqKIaJUjxBAQSeuSKTbMdQIf5QqmdKIqTonEpF-sdJl_r1BGOi/s1600/03242011507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHyd7ZqCT56BlUTxiueuYbyahtM-TewPVzoqSIXehC3YxUJl0d-fSME2MSjQ6uMds1q5W-hrTdYbdo0PEm88AXzt26zyeqKIaJUjxBAQSeuSKTbMdQIf5QqmdKIqTonEpF-sdJl_r1BGOi/s320/03242011507.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do you see that Monkey?? How cute is he? And unlike alot of screen printed shirts The printing on these are awesome.. no pulling edges or cracking image when washed ( and yes i have washed it now)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So after wearing the shirt, sleeping in the shirt and washing the shirt.. I'm extremely happy with the quality!1 My monkey is still soft and smooth! The only downside i found.. the<a href="http://www.tshirtprinting.net/"> website</a> doesn't show much of their work or what they offer. It does she what they can print on or have to offer. They can do any logo you please.. but i wish it had more to look at! I did contact them to get a catalog because I will be ordering from them in the future!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Go check them out.. tell me what you think.. Isn't my monkey sexy???</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Crazy is an understatement!! On the <a href="http://mamaof3cuties.blogspot.com/2011/03/putting-my-foot-down.html">bullying incident</a> We went in for a meeting Monday and spoke with the vice principal. The boy stayed home with me Monday and Tuesday until the issue was resolved. The decision to change his class room was made Monday night and i was informed yesterday he would be switching classes per my request. Thank you for all your supportive comments. I seem to have made some major waves over at the school but that's just to bad for them. Unfortunately i don't think this whole thing is quite over yet. The boys still have to interact at lunch and recess. well they don't have to but.. you know how kids are. But just to show it was a stabbing and not a poking as the mother claims here is a pic of the wound 2 weeks + later</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Ridiculous!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2yRNO1WGWH2mxoGwyGISrb0SNDgD7wxYVi-drN43gmu6Jw77_nhcMvd9w_YEiPpis3WioivWHH4NeLEiajD74JQmkBvi56G9OjWndLPFOFDZcUpCCtsOXl2luiELa7ujMwEb2q2_Go3R9/s1600/03172011446.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2yRNO1WGWH2mxoGwyGISrb0SNDgD7wxYVi-drN43gmu6Jw77_nhcMvd9w_YEiPpis3WioivWHH4NeLEiajD74JQmkBvi56G9OjWndLPFOFDZcUpCCtsOXl2luiELa7ujMwEb2q2_Go3R9/s320/03172011446.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As for today.. well I'm one of THOSE moms running on little to no sleep. Its sent my mind reeling as my little princess cant do a damn thing she is asked nor follow any rules she knows by heart!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why is it kids feel the need to find and look at any birthday presents that might possibly be hid in the house? My son found his the other day..I bought him the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Jackson-Experience-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B00434FED2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300902070&sr=8-1">Michael Jackson experience for the Wii</a> and the little shit found it. so we played it last night! OH MY GOSH I'm so sore today! I would be fine if that was all but then little miss princess decided to be nose and found her <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dora-Explorer-Saves-Princess-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B001DTVKF6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1300902161&sr=1-1">Dora game for the Wii</a>. It killed me to have to fib to her and tell her it was for someone else!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> And whats up with men being dumb lately. Husband came by before he went home last night and ate dinner.. i made mannicotti and cheese tortellini he didn't eat the mannicotti.. his excuse.. too cheesy. he didn't like the stuff in the middle.. really? WTH? its the same as whats in lasagna..</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway its only the middle of the week and its obvious its going to be a long week.. so ill leave you with what was supposed to be my wordless Wednesday post! oh and if any of you tell husband you saw this picture of him ill deny, deny, deny, DENY!!!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5AAgwiJPWo-kf4OCwQ02Kf3WBKOHEcO0Iw8fQfxWjLhfd7dCoiqOSFFzBfWFcwhrUJPWCvUjSXuCltRJmO8vlHdfqipjC4PSMxD2fkjobksFexPhg0dEK2uYkEbL5WM1rqhr2k3J8EVNu/s1600/03172011443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5AAgwiJPWo-kf4OCwQ02Kf3WBKOHEcO0Iw8fQfxWjLhfd7dCoiqOSFFzBfWFcwhrUJPWCvUjSXuCltRJmO8vlHdfqipjC4PSMxD2fkjobksFexPhg0dEK2uYkEbL5WM1rqhr2k3J8EVNu/s320/03172011443.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The feedback everyone left helped alot. For a little bit i wondered if i was over reacting.<br />
An update on that note is the mother and i have been emailing back and forth and shes not very nice herself. She keeps trying to make my son out to be the bad guy and informed me that i did nothing but embarrass and make the situation worse for my son by calling in the bullying counselor from central office. I am debating on posting the emails or at least excerpts from them.<br />
As for the <a href="http://mamaof3cuties.blogspot.com/2011/03/feature-friday-kiboomu.html">Kiboomu Giveaway</a> The winners will be contacted by Kiboomu!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ive been in space for a few days,</div><div style="text-align: center;">no i wish i had been in space for a few days. instead i have been dealing with BS from my sons school!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let me jump back a bit. my son is in the fourth grade. He is being bullied. severely bullied. not any of this name calling my mom is better than your mom crap either. full on making fun of been stabbed in the arm with a pencil, hard core bullying. to the point he begs me in the morning to stay home.I picked up on what was going on when the stabbing incident occurred.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I'm a fairly reasonable person, i like to think so anyway. if you ask anyone else they <s>will</s> might say otherwise.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's my stand on it. My son should be able to go to school and learn with out coming home injured or humiliated by another student.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do i understand that boys will be boys? Yes i fully understand that. Do i consider daily harassment boys being boys? no i don't. I have spoken to the teacher about this issue hoping that it might help things... i musty have been on drugs thinking the TEACHER might make an effort to keep things from continuing. Them i spoke with the principle. Once again thinking she would do something.. nothing changed.. then the stabbing incident happened. I wasn't even notified from the school that my son had been stabbed. HELLO... is that not call mom worthy? Of course not according to the school.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well yesterday i was informed that 2 of the boys that have been harassing my son cornered him in the class room while the teacher was gone and tried to yet again stab him. what was done?? my child along with the boys harassing him were given silent lunch.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Seriously how many silent lunches are you going to give the child that continues to bully my child? obviously its doing NO good what so ever. well This morning i emailed the mother of the little boy only to find out she knew nothing of the trouble he had been in.</div><div style="text-align: center;">That is where i lost it. the punishment for this child has yet to be anything severe enough for the parent to have been notified. THAT is ridiculous! </div><div style="text-align: center;">well this mama put a call into the school board and let it be very well known that the next incident will result in my calling my attorney.</div><br />

I can post all the <s> great</s> dumb things I <u>didn't</u> do on Monday. Heck don't you know Mondays screw with everyone? NOT me!</div><div style="text-align: center;">so lets see I did NOT go to bed at 4 am this morning after forgetting I had inspection today ( first thing in the morning)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT decide to redo my living room and spring clean the day before my yearly inspection( in which my home has to be spotless)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT oversleep.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course I did NOT forget to lay anything out for dinner this morning.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT forget the city is cutting off all water at 6 am Tuesday morning.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT forget to run to the store to get a gallon of water for my sons bottles so I don't have to go first thing tomorrow morning!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT give the baby the messiest feed yourself food on the day of said inspection ( which never happened by the way)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I definitely did NOT have half a bag of<a href="http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/tostitos-restaurant-style-hint-of-lime-chips.html"> Tostitos 'Hint of Lime" </a>chips and <a href="http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/tostitos-salsa-con-queso.html">queso salsa</a> for lunch.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT fall asleep with the baby when i should have been cooking dinner.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did NOT skip my workout today. Ya know especially since I definitely did NOT eat the fore mentioned chips. Oh and of course I did NOT post this late!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div><a href="http://mamabennie.blogspot.com/">Winter Can Suck It</a></div><div><br />
</div><div>I loathe the existence of cold weather. This is a fact everyone that has ever met me in any form knows. Living in Pennsylvania my whole life, cold is a part of my existence. I envy the people who get warmer temperatures in March, and my friend that lives in Hawaii who wears flip flops and shorts at Christmas. I am sure you are wondering what brings that subject up. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I brought this subject up because that little groundhog is a lieing bastard. It is March, it is 21 degrees right now and it snowed and iced on us for the past two days here. Where I live we get snow and in May sometimes, which is ridiculous. If I could afford to move I totally would, because mother nature is a skanky bitch. The weather here is also pretty schizophrenic. A week of temperatures goes something like this: 19, 34, 50, 45, 60, 30, 10. This crazy weather is the bane of my existence and I would like to kick mother nature square in the ass. Packing up a 3 year old and 1 year old to go ANYWHERE when it is freezing, is ridiculous in it's own right. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I know this post is kind of short, but chasing around said children from above is making my mind all wandery. So, just thank your lucky stars if you live in a warmer climate, you could live where I live, and that would suck. In face, winter can suck it. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">When you think of Chuck E. Cheese, you think pizza, fun , games, and happy kiddos right? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Well i did until last Friday!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I decided to take the kids to <a href="http://www.chuckecheese.com/">Chuck E. Cheese's</a> for a little fun! Boy i wish now i had gone to the one in Chattanooga and not the one in Knoxville.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose Knoxville because it's the one i went to growing up. I figured we couldn't go wrong with something that had never let me down before.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I even dated a guy that worked there when i was in high school. Plus i had 2 coupon for a pizza drink and taken deal and one for free tokens. All the games now take one token i had 270 tokens. Hours of endless fun. It had to be a no fail plan! All was good until after the kids ate and decided to go play. Play is not what they did. More than half the games they tried just ate their tokens. Wouldn't do a damn thing when they put them in. So being the mom i am before a melt down ensued i walked to the front to talk to someone about them losing their tokens, i personally couldn't care less if they lost some of the massive amount of tokens i had. I explained the issue and included how many token i bought , and let them know the loss of token was no big deal, the loss of game play was beginning to become one. What did they do? they handed me 20 tokens and said sorry for the issue.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Really 20 MORE tokens? Just give the kids some tickets for later. THEN the games stopped giving any tickets AT all. They would play and play and play and get NO tickets. or half the games were out of tickets so they couldn't play them. So out of 10 ride on games 5 worked. 15 arcade games that you win tickets from MAYBE 6 were working and actually giving them the tickets they earned. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then came the three words that should NEVER come out of a kids mouth while at <a href="http://www.chuckecheese.com/">Chuck E. Cheese</a>...</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Mom I'm BORED!!!"</div><div style="text-align: center;">After that i wrangled the kids up and headed back to the table to try once again to divert a melt down out of sissy .. only to find ALL our stuff was GONE except one of our drinks. Seriously.. they cleared everything away but left ONE drink? So they had to have known we were still there. Even our almost whole pizza was gone!After an hour of this BS i finally tracked down the manager who had a " and i care why?" attitude. At one point in the conversation he looked at me and said 'well you don't want more tokens so WHAT do you want?"</div><div style="text-align: center;">umm how about my money (and the last 3 hours of my life and the time it will take to calm down my three year old down after her melt down after we leave?)</div><div style="text-align: center;">So finally he says " ill just give you your money back and y'all finish using the tokens you have"</div><div style="text-align: center;">The man brought me back $25.00 of what i had spent. Really? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Now don't get me wrong I'm grateful he gave me any of my money back, but I think after everything he should have given me back more than that.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So all in all we decided we will not be visiting <a href="http://www.chuckecheese.com/">Chuck E. Cheese</a> again. At least not that location. We have a rinky dink version of <a href="http://www.chuckecheese.com/">Chuck E. Cheese</a> here in town called <a href="http://www.mychuckles.com/">Chuckles</a>. I do believe we will be going there next time!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Between the rudeness of the staff and management, the lack of working properly games, the service, and the mess all over the floors i have to give this place a great BIG D, for DON'T BOTHER!!</div><br />

I want to be lazy and drag all day therefore never actually accomplishing anything other than the bare minimal chores.<br />
Onto op all that i had a migraine. The darn thing decided it would come and go all day. On top of hat the baby is teething and picked yesterday to whine non stop and want to constantly be held. So on the sofa i sat in my jammies for most of the day.when i wasn't there i was laying one of the little ones down for a nap and dozing off with them. see no motivation yesterday. Normally i would have played on my phone until they drifted off to sleep so i could bustle around like a busy bee until they woke up. NO such luck yesterday. I think i finally got us all dressed around oneish. I t could have been later but i just didn't care yesterday.The neighbor came over and invited us to the park since it was so pretty yesterday, at first i was excited.. ohh yea first spring trip to the park... then my mind said "ohh no you don't Missy remember this migraine here: *THUMP*THUMP*THUMP!!!!<br />
<br />
I decided i would be stubborn and take the kids to meet her at the park when the oldest got home from school.Of course she was already home by that time! So we planned a little welcome warm weather BBQ in the back yard. Meantime i released my kids into the backyard to play with her kids.<br />
Now originally i had set out chicken for dinner ( late i might add) then we decided on the BBQ and were gonna grill burgers then her guy said forget burgers lets do chicken so i put my burgers back in the freezer, and made plans to run to the store as soon as her friend came to pick up the little boy she was watching.<br />
Well it got a little cool so i rounded up my crew and sent them inside while i made sides for the BBQ.<br />
This my dear is when the meltdown happened! neither of the little ones wanted to come in. FULL BLOWN MELT DOWN.<br />
Against my better judgement i laid the baby down for a quick afternoon/evening nap knowing he hadn't had a decent nap all day.. and guess who fell asleep?? this girl right here! Yup.. i dozed off totally neglecting my dinner duties. I woke up around 6 and text my friend and said i was just gonna cook something quick here and she said that worked. I ended up pulling my burgers back out of the freezer and cooking them!<br />
I tell ya Wednesday's are just NOT my days! i think I'm going to ban them.. maybe renaming them would help.. middleday or outcast day.. how about nomatterwhatyoudoitsgoingtobescrewed day!<br />

I dont know why. Do you?<br />
Between laundry, dishes, breakfast,lunch, snack,s diapers, dusting, and all the other regular chores, it feels like forever before bath and bed time! For some reason nap time is never long enough to accomplish anything on tuesdays.<br />
I finally convinced little miss to turn the tv off and listen to the radio. Actually it was the babys doing that caused this. You see we have <a href="http://www.netflix.com/">netflix</a> so it runs through our playstation. So it was a nice break from pink panther when J accidently turned the PS3 off.<br />
Netflix is a poor mommas life saver! I HATE cable for the most part. granted having the ability to watch stuff like the oscars and such is a plus BUT i made the sacrifice considering my cable bill alone was running $160.00 a month! <a href="http://www.netflix.com/">Netflix</a> runs me $10.00 for unlimited movies and tv shows WITHOUT having to have DVR. i cant beat $120.00 a YEAR vs $160.00 a MONTH!<br />
<br />
Somehow i missed up the nerve in my back again. so once again simple things like bending over, walking and standing up cause me horrid pain! 2 Tylenol told that nerve who was boss for a bit but not for long.<br />
So this charlie Sheen thing. i turned on the radio and thats the first thing i heard.. what exactly is going on? Another drug problem? Another woman? I know i heard he wants a raise.. really Charlie you need a raise? Does the 1.5 millon or so you get for each estimate not cover your expenses? I doubt ill ever see 1.5 million throught out my lifetime. he makes that per episode!! maybe he should do a few less drugs and the 1.5 mil would be enough!<br />
<br />
well its time for the big guy to be home from school.. off to fix a snack for him!<br />

About 2 hours away ( what was i thinking?)to the<a href="http://www.discoverycenteronline.org/"> Murfreesboro Discovery Center</a>. Now this place was COOL to the max! the kids loved it!! the 2 1/2 story slide, the electronic bugs amazing but more on that awesome place in another post ( maybe tomorrow) When we finally hauled all five kids out of the truck and strapped two into strollers paid our way in ( only 30$ for us all), being the smart moms we are took our kids potty. My oldest (9) took her oldest (4) into the men's room with strict instructions to keep an eye on him.<br />
<br />
While changing diapers i noticed the door opened and a shy little girl walked in. she couldn't have been over 3. her dad was outside the door telling her to ask someone for help if she needed it. this is where my mind starts to spin..<br />
At what point did the battle of the sexes or whatever you want to call it draw such a bold line in the sand or in this case the bathroom floor? Why is it ok for a mom to take her little boy in the women's restroom when the father isn't with her but its not ok to take a little girl in the men's room when she is out for a day with daddy or by chance he is a single father of a little girl? Why is it so Horrible that a man might enter the women's restroom to take his little girl potty? I fully understand then not taking a little girl in the men's room. I have a 3 year old myself and wouldn't want her to go in the men's restroom when she is out with her father. there are obvious reasons on the no little girls in the men's room one is the amount of exposure. me use urinals, the wrong angle and my little girl could see some unsightly things and scar her for life.<br />
My question is.. WHY is it so horrible for a father to go into the women's restroom with his daughter? There are stalls in the women's restrooms. Stalls with doors and locks and walls. No one sees each other when they use the restroom. So why cant a father accompany his little girl to help her? What happens when a 3 year old goes in the women's restroom alone, goes in the stall closes the door and LOCKS it behind her? does she know to wipe off the potty? No! Does she know to check for toilet paper? No! can her little arms reach to wipe her bottom when she poops? Not usually? Are most little girls too shy to ask for a strange woman help? Yes! So there the little girl sits on a dirty potty, with or with out toilet paper to scared to ask for help. this wouldn't happen if Daddy was there.<br />
Its a constant battle between myself and daddy, when he wants to take our little girl somewhere for some time with her, because i know he wont go into the womens restroom with her and will send her in alone. I don't want my little girl to be the 3 year old alone in the bathroom sitting on a dirty potty with or with out toilet paper. By chance if she poops she wont be able to wipe herself and i sure as heck don't want some strange woman wiping my daughter bottom. Which couldn't even happen if she locked the stall door. Heaven forbid she tries to wipe and smears poop all up her back or just doesn't wipe because she doesn't know what to do and comes home with a chapped bottom or a urinary tract infection. So in lack of family bathrooms in many places i deny my daughter daddy daughter days. i blame it on society's prudish views.<br />
So i ask whats the big deal about men taking their little girl in a public women's bathroom?<br />

I cleaned the whole thing from top to bottom and got rid of a few things.. my coffee pot was one of them.<br />
now i know some of you are thinking WTH? but.. before you chastise me for giving it away i don't really use it.. it takes up too much space. since I'm breastfeeding baby J i try not to drink coffee( it upsets his tummy) IF i do have a cup of coffee its the instant singles. It works for me simply because i only have one cup so i don't have to make more than one cup since I'm the only coffee drinker here!<br />
but from there i moved to my lower cabinets. I have a friend that recently told me she has no Tupperware and limited on pots and pans.. well I'm over stocked on pots and pans AND Tupperware. i mean come on<a href="http://www.gomeat.com/"> Hilshire farms</a> GIVES you a reusable container with their lunch meat. And let me tell you i LOVE their lunch mean. so i was running over with containers. I had a few extra metal mixing bowls that i got from my first marriage that i also gave to my friend. so with in my first day of purging junk i got rid of my coffee pot, my excess of Tupperware, pots and pans, and mixing bowls. all extras that i didn't use. pretty good if i do say so myself.<br />
well the next day my ex came over to see our son and i had every intention of going through the shed that day ( i haven't personally ventured out there since we moved in this place) I was honestly afraid of what i was going to find. well low and behold it was a mess. in the course of 2 1/2 hours we threw away 6 boxes of junk ( plus i found some fabric i forgot i had!)I brought in 8 boxes of the oldest sons old baby clothes. yes i ment to type 8 boxes !so that night after the shed was put back together and the whole floor was opened up for more stuff to be added i went through all 8 boxes. well Wee Cycled Wardrobe sale started today so i thought what better to do with theses clothes than to sell some of them and donate what is left and what doesn't sell? well out of the 8 boxes i found a little over an over stuffed box and a half to sell gave an over stuffed trash bag of clothes to my friend who got my pots and pans ( shes expecting again) and trashed the rest.( i don't think our trash man liked me very much the next morning!)<br />
So going through my sons old clothes got me thinking.. i had TON of clothes in our storage unit that i planned to throw in a yard sale but never got around to it.... and the Wee Cycled wardrobe sale WAS coming up.....<br />
so i called hubby and devised a plan. if he would come over and help me haul the clothes out of storage to sift through and hang and tag then i would donate what ever wanst sale worthy or didn't sell.. so he came over and pick the two little ones and myself up.. and off to storage we went.. well i got a little more than i bargained for....<br />
