Settle In With Some Popcorn!!!

i went to update the other night, but there was just so much going on i figured i'd wait until it was all over to update here. lol anyways...between the assembly and getting ready for that, a part on the truck going bad, a last minute project for tristan's homework, working on bows, and just a bunch of other piddly crap...this has been a long week! but, the truck is fixed, the project is done, the assembly was good, bows are made, and i think things are finally slowing down a little.

tonight i went and got my hair cut. it was MUCH needed. i just can't go that long!!! i hadn't had it cut since mom was here!! that is entirely too long for this haircut. anyways, i'll post a pic of 2 at the end of this.

the kids got my camera today. although i was really mad that they played with it...they did take some really funny/cute pics. so, i'll post a couple of those, too. LOL little brats!!

something funny/gross: tristan was in the bathroom today. i noticed he'd been in there for a long long time, so i hollered in there 'hey buddy, ya doing ok in there...about done? jordyn's waiting for you outside.' he says 'yea. i just flushed a while ago because i was getting the stink out! when you flush it takes the stink down w/ it. otherwise i'd be sitting in here choking!' OH MAN...you have no idea how hard i was laughing. the boy has no filters. LOL i just thought that was grossly funny and thought i'd share. lol

t-man got his report card today...i'll probably scan that and email it out. looked good though!! he was pretty proud. although...his teacher put a 'P' (progressing but needs support) on 'completing and returning homework' and i'm not sure what she's referring to...so i'll be finding out about that. we've turned everything in on time, so i don't know.

anyways, that's about it i think for now. hope everyone's doing ok! looking for some updates!! ;)

love yas!

Time Change Is Really No Fun...

we're experiencing the horrid effects of the time change these days. i'm sure everyone else is, too...it probably just seems much worse w/ little ones. let me just start by saying that jordyn's having such a hard time w/ it that she actually fell asleep on the COUCH w/ me tonight!! lol they've been super sleepy by their regular bedtime and up before it's even light out...which you know is quite early. whew! i will be so glad when this levels out! i've even had a hard time w/ it...like tonight i got in/out of the shower thinking it was much later and looked at the clock and it wasn't even 9 yet! so weird.

anyways...other than that there's really not a whole lot new! had alot fo do today and actually got it all done. all except a much needed haircut...which might have to be put off till next payday unfortunately. we'll see. got our grocery shopping done, bills paid, and a little bit of housework done. so, needless to say i'm pretty tired tonight. all i have to do is dry my hair and i'm done...to bed i go!

i will try to have a little more exciting entry next time. i'm just so tired i can hardly think...PLUS i have frank snoring next to me pretty loudly. lol :D

love you all!

Sunday Sunday...

well, we just tucked the kids in and it's pretty darn quiet in here. tristan and i had our little study (this is week 3) in the greatest teacher book. he really likes it alot! i like hearing what he has to say, too...he's such a smartie! jordyn was just plain crazy tonight...no nap today (she just wouldn't go to sleep!) so she was definately ready for night night. she's already asleep and has only been in there for maybe 10-15 min. poor thing. lol

not much else going on around here. frank went hog hunting this morning...so we have a whole hog (cleaned and cut up) ready to go in a freezer that someone gave him today. he got it all cleaned up this evening, so i guess we'll get that all put away tomorrow evening. the freezer is a pretty nice size...just not the prettiest thing you've ever seen. BUT, it was free....and it'll do for now.

today was a pretty lazy day. we got home from the meeting and had a little lunch, then i put jordyn to bed (although she never slept) and i watched 'fried green tomatoes' (one of my faves). i stayed in bed until frank and tristan got home w/ the freezer...then i got up and cleaned the house up a bit. dusted, swept, did dishes, etc. fun stuff. but, it'll keep me from having to do it tomorrow. then maybe i can catch an extra nap! LOL j/k maybe. ;)

anyways...i can't think of a whole lot else. we spent the day yesterday at grannies so that was nice. it's good to have them back and the kids are beside themselves. especially tristan...since he can now go to his 'home away from home' again. LOL silly boy. he should be getting his school pics and report card this week. hopefully all that will be good...i have a good feeling!

so, that's about all i know for now! i'll be updating again soon! love yas!
