MIDNIGHT MARATHON (and other ramblings)

Well, yes ... Today has been a pretty busy, hot and humid day, but I had a sec to sit, so thought I'd write some of my thoughts down, as well as share them with all of you ... who'd like to read them. :O)

The week here has been pretty busy, lots of things and odds and ends to do. So some of my thoughts for sure are going to be about that. First tho, I will start with the best one so far. So ... last night, at about 11:45 pm - mind you - just as I had finished my clean up and was ready to go to bed, my 2 year old son Cameron comes downstairs -into our dining room to delight us with some un-spent energy that he appearantly had. * I have no idea just where the boy gets hits energy or why it comes it spurts just enough to drive you crazy, but here are some pictures from what we lovingly now are calling the "MIDNIGHT MARATHON".

'Round, 'round fast as you can, you can't catch me, I am Cam-er-on !

Lap what ????

STILL going !

I THINK I'm tired now ... only AFTER 79 laps !!!!! (NOT joking my daughter counted them !)

OK .... I'm pooped !

SOOOOO, after the midnight marathon that took place here and he'd run the 79 laps around the table, he was firmly pooped and went straight to bed ! Thank Goodness, I don't know that I could have taken much more !

2nd thought for the day ....

My hubby has called me 14 times so far today, because he is either trying to drive me insane or is immensely bored at work. I haven't decided which it is, but the calls are full of useless info mostly, like in one call he told me that he saw in the newspaper that they have checkbook covers now with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney on them. UUUUM, WE DO NOT HAVE A CHECKING ACCOUNT ! (closed after identity theft) sooo, I was like WTH ??? The next was to tell me that I would save 17 cents by going across town to buy deodorant from the dollar store instead of at Wal-Mart. OOOO-K - HELLO - THERE MAN ...... We have four kids, FOUR, and ? am uncomfortably pregnant with baby 5 ..... WHOOOO has time to run across town just to save 17 cents !!!!! But thank you for the info .... WOW ! (would cost that in gas to get there !) The next is that he saw a riding lawn mower in the paper for 200 dollars and he wanted to go look at it. He said he wanted to be like Forrest Gump and ride around our yard mowing the lawn ...ok, so my thought on that ... OH MY GOD ! JUST WHAT are you thinking today ?!?!?!? 200 dollars, it must be pretty junky, sorry, but I don't see it happening !

Soooo, after about 10 more of those kinda' calls, I put the phone down and decide to pick it back up and call my mom. I dialed the number and push send and the phone rings .... WHO IS ON THE PHONE ???? it was my MOM !!!! How weird IS that ?!?!?!? She informs me of all the family gossip, that I really could care less about (I don't like to talk about ppl behind thier backs) and to tell me that she gave my telephone number out to some ppl that we used to know. UMMMM, used to ! SOoooo, knowing that I am not a big phone talker she gave out MY phone number - no less to a friend of mine from when I was like 12, who is a guy that is now single an obviously lonely. HellllllllllOOOOO MOTHER - I am happily married --- WOMAN ! Do you NOT get that ! I have a cell phone for family or emergency use, NOT plain chit chat here ! Now, unless she is paying the bill - then ok, but otherwise I am too cheap for that - I have internet ! HELLLO ! Sooooo, of course ...who calls ???? *SIGH*

3rd thought for the day !

I have had this one STUPID song stuck in my head all frackin' day and it is driving me crazy ! It is by the ever lovin' Partridge Family or whatever and goes something like this: "C'MON GET HAPPY" .... now, get with it people, I HATE the Partridge Family ! and ? I do NOT know why this song is in my head ... but I keep wanting to jump and leap through the house singing the song. I swear I might scare the kids ! WTH ?????

4th thought for the day.

I will be glad when next Wednesday comes, why? I know you're dying to know ! Well, because we get paid that day and my daughter and I are going back to school shopping ! NOW, ok - I do not want them to go back, I am pretty odd that way, it makes me sad, however - when her and I have free reign to go out and shop together it is always a good day ! I LOVE shopping with her, especially for the clothes, I can dress her up in what we agree on, and we get along really well, even though some of the stores are re-sale shops. I told them we couldn't afford ALL Hollister, Gap, LTD too and Abercrombie this year again, but maybe a few sale items will be had, and atleast looking don't hurt. I don't know why tho, her and I have a great time going to Once upon a child .... plus ? I can find baby clothes there ! HA, HA, HA ..... my plan has worked ! I usually don't like shopping for clothes, especially if they are for me - I hate buying myself stuff, but that is probably why I like to go with her, she is so fun to dress and so skinny that it is how I would want to dress, if I were her age. Isn't it odd that she can actually bring out the "girly" in me, and she's 13 ..... ha, ha, ha ! AHHHH, lunch and shopping with my girl !!!!! (before U ask tho - Hannah don't like going, and we do Jordan's separately -cuz he don't like to be around at that time with us either !)

BTW ... Britt is the one on the end.

5th thought for the day ...

I have made a list of things to do around my house that HAVE to get done before winter, problem is that with hubby working so much, I have no idea where to start. We had planned to put a new front door and porch in and tear out some old stuff, which means we have to call for a dumpster. We wanted to move a bathroom from downstairs to an empty space upstairs, leaving open what would be the new laundry room. I have no idea where to start first, but it needs to get done. Is this - with pictures - blog material ??? I need some advice ! Even tho we gutted the place last year are done with that now ,There is still so much to do around here it is becoming overwhelming ! I still have that god awful load of junk in our garage that I have been putting off, I have to do a yard sale, but I am being lazy as I HATE doing it. I have to go through all my kids clothes, but I am being lazy with that too ....WHY OH WHY ...must this LIST never end ????!?!?!?!? WHY ? Even though I HATE procrastination, has it leeched itself to me ???!?!?!?!?

6th and final thought for the day... I swear !

THIS is "Bucky - boy" the neighbors retarted kid that keeps terrorizing us here at our house with his tractor. Now thankfully, he hasn't been here all week - which is totally a good thing, but that dog (Bucky) he screams for has been still tearing out my garbage and pooping. He drives back and forth effortlessly daily searching for the dog or just waiting for us to come out, I don't know. But if you have read some of my past blogs, you know that he has been up to ALOT here - from just walking into our home or running over our Sattelite dish ! Oh my, I don't know how much more of this I can take !

Well, it is now 3 pm here and I have 45 loads of laundry to do - or atleast what seems like it anyway ! I REALLLLLY think that the kids just take the laundry, not wear it, throw it on the floor and say it is dirty - putting it back into the basket ... I will be soo glad to get our new laundry room done, then it will be better to keep track of everything !

TOMMORROW is "spill the beans" day folks ! I have been working on answers to all your questions, and will have them up ! ThankYou all who asked, I don't know why - but I just LOVE answering them ! I was alot of fun ! :O)

SOOO, TOODLES TILL TOMMORROW - have a good evening ! :O)

TAMMIE
