Title:

A Relaxing Week ???

Post Text

Well this may be a relaxing week for us, we will hope!! Jared and I say that every week and find 100 more things that need to be done. The girls went back to their dads this week, it was nice I had them for the last 3 weeks. I stopped by tonight to drop something off and Lauren was begging to come back to my house, so that broke my heart! Other then that I went to my mom and dads this evening, we went out looking at more cars ugghh I never thought I would get soooo tired of looking at something but YUCK!!! Jared and I started with Nissans - Pathfinder, and Armadas then it was the Saturn Outlook, and then we shopped Hyundai's, Then Excursions, and Tahoe’s (remember the accident with the van, oh the stuff I could hit in those) Then we moved on to Toyotas - Sequoias and 4Runner's. Somewhere in there were the Lexus, BMW"S, Mercedes, a Tourage and yes Jared even priced out a Porsche. Yesterday Jared and I priced out a VW convertible bug! (How that fits in I don’t know) and tonight I went and looked at Jeeps and Honda Pilots. If I could just narrow it down to 2 or 3. To think I started out with 1 request I told Jared he could buy me anything as long as it had a sunroof. I think we’re way past sunroofs now! He pretty much tells me it’s up to me, HELLO I said I wanted a sunroof, cut a hole in the roof of bonny and I’ll be great! We’ll see. On the downside, or upside however one may look at it, Rob (Maddie and Lauren’s dad) got his insurance thing taken care of so Lauren will be getting her Tonsils and Adenoids out on Oct 8th, I was kinda hoping to put it off til later in the winter when she wasn’t nearly as active, but then I think to myself do I really want her to go through another cold and flu season and see her suffer, with her meatball sized tonsils (her pediatricians words, god love him). The girls are already for school, which is in a couple of weeks, WOW how time flies! Maddie said to me yesterday, “mom do you remember changing my diapers”, she said “well I’m going to be in 4th grade now!” and that she is. We went Saturday shopping for book bags, we exhausted Kohls, Walmart, Steinmart, Tj Maxx, and an entire mall, but thank god for Target. She’s growing up so she want’s teenage type stuff, my reply “ “Hello your 10 this Barbie one looks great” as she gives me the evil eye. I don’t want my girls to grow up fast, I want them to stay young and maintain their innocence for a while longer, you know while they actually still enjoy hanging out with me. I sit in the office and watch these girls come in their little booty shorts and they looked like they just fell face first into the makeup counter at Macy’s. I know, I know I was probably once that girl, but now I am those girls’s mother, so NO! Well at least there’s Lauren shes only in Second so she went with a Pirates Of the Caribbean bag, its cute a little messenger bag, girly though, pink strap and it says “I Love Jack” much better then her first choice, that had chains coming off of it UGGGHH. She goes from one extreme to the other on everything, she’s the only girl that I know that will get up put on a skirt, go outside and find the biggest stick she can find to widdle on. That’s her new hobby, that child amazes Jared and I, she can widdle all the bark off a stick and were talking like half a tree like stick in a couple days using a plastic butter knife. She worked on her first one it took her 3 days to get the bark off, Jared then sanded it down, and they decided to cut it down, did I mention the stick was like 7 ft’ tall. Jared went to Lowes, and being the handy man he is made a beautiful walking stick out of it, they stained it and bought a brass piece for the bottom and used a faucet knob for the handle. The goal was for all the girls to do one, but we will see, Maddie and Tori seem to have lost interest after the first 5 or so minutes. Can’t say I blame them it was kinda tough for even me. So I am going to try to make pinecone bird feeders with them and see how that goes. Well gosh its getting late and I have just rambled really about nothing so Good Night!
