What Just Happened?

So Saturday was just one of those days that kept asking myself what the heck just happened? Let me just set the day up for you. Saturdays I work my 2nd job for the call center! I start at 5am and work until 9am! I can usually get away with the boys sleeping until 8am, sometimes Caden will get up early. He's the good one (joke) so he'll just sit and play and leave me alone. Today was a weird day I should have know it would be one of those days!

1st off Cole got up at 6:45am (Yes you read it correctly). The boy that screams, kicks and is a total pain in my rear every morning to get him up and out of the house by 7:15 (ok 7:20, ok on a normal day 7:27am!). But today he was up and ready to rock and roll at 6:45am!! Thankfully he didn't wake his brother, and just hung out.

2nd Off Caden decided he needed to be up also! Now Caden by himself rocks! Cole and Caden together and lord be with me. Did someone forget that I'm WORKING!!!! Plus not just working but I'm on the phone with people!!!!! What the heck!!!

My lovely husband, who I will give a little break. Since he worked 2 jobs Thursday and Friday! But Saturday mornings he suppose to help with the kids. You think this would ever happen! NOT!!! Yes I'm at home, but I'm Working! Just because you see me is not that I'm here to talk to or work. Since my job gets in the way his sleep, of course it's not working. Don't you love the man brain?

3rd I finish up a little after 9am and then do a few minutes of training on doing some emails! Yeah extra hours!

4th exchange student (master of non verbal communication) comes in looks at the TV sighs and huffs. Guess he didn't like what the boys were watching. 2 to 1 dude can't always have a preteen show on for you! Then he walks into the kitchen looks at me and huffs! Again Saturdays we don't have breakfast until 10ish! Deal with it!

5th I start making breakfast, mind you exchange student went back into his room until he heard pots banging. Stood across the bar from me, staring and then heavy sigh. Yup not going quick enough for him. With out a word he retreated back to his room, only to return when he heard Cole call breakfast was ready.

6th get breakfast loaded up and asked the boys to take there own plates to the table, yup horrible mom!

7th mom shows up to take Cole to get a haircut! Crap forgot about that! Got him out the door. Turn to find an upset exchange student that he didn't' get to go. Come on dude, he gets to visit his grandparents every once in a while. You get to watch Nick with the preteen shows be happy! Well guess my choices weren't good enough since he left the room, returned a few times later to pace and then go back to his room. This went on for a few hours.

8th my quick help with email turned into 5 hours on the computer!!! Yup you know it those 5 hours included the pacing and huffing! Finally I had to ask him what the heck was up! You have a whole cupboard full of food, books, movies and TV! What more can I do for you! UGH ... yup no matter what I do you're not going to be happy. And I have 85 emails to verify and enter into a spreadsheet. Figure it out!

9th Cole shows back up and peace and quiet leave my world! Thankfully I just finished the emails. I'm so excited I got a day for myself, oh wait no I didn't!

10th Run to Wal-Mart. With in 5 minutes Cole knocked over something in the fish station. How do I know this since I was 2 isles over and heard a huge crash! Yup I go running and Cole's like it wasn't me! Yeah right! Mind you during this time I had 2 seconds to run down a isle to pick up hair gel, I could hear Cole by the fish being rather loud. I oh so nicely called to him to hush. At that same moment a woman walks by and Caden is fusing, she looks at me and says oh he is being quiet and gives me a dirty look. It took me a minute to figure out she thought I was yelling at Caden and not Cole. Yup same to you! It didn't stop there, I couldn't get the boys to keep in line and the looks were so lovely. Oh yeah back at you!

Finally back home, I'm not even going to go there at what happened when I got home. By this time my brain had check out and I just wanted to sit back and relax. Oh yeah and read some blogs! LOL

Don't forget to check out my giveaway, I so would love to have over a hundred comments if I could. Thanks so much for all your support it means a lot to me! MUAH Lex

Time for mom ...

Ok I don't always paint my dear husband in the best light, he truly is a good guy but still deep down he's a guy. And heck it's funnier to point out the pouting and screaming then it is the loving things. I must give him props last night, he could tell I was totally stressed by the time I got home. I forgot we were out of fish food and remembered of course right when I was a block away from home. Which left me very few options to find fish food, I ended up going to the Lakewood Mall to the pet store. This made us getting home even later since oh yeah I worked an hour over on a proposal that is due Thursday. This made us get home close to 7pm which made dinner a late one. Rick ended up coming home around the same time and with out hesitation loaded up the two older ones and took them to Wal-Mart. Yeah an hour to myself to finish dinner and hey check my email. It was a glorious time for me. Rick on the other hand had to hear someone complain over and over again that their dinner was late! So being the nice guy he is he stopped at Taco Bell and got some Cinnamon twist to tide them over. Well someone didn't like them and then promptly requested french fries. Yup Rick is not as diplomatic as me and set this certain somebody in their place about being gratefully and that he'll just have to wait for dinner. Bless my hubby some days he really comes thru for me.

On another note since I'm just the maid/cook I'm not told about things going on in school. Like a boy in his school had lice! Yup not something I need to know! Or he's out of money, plus $50 is missing, which he joking said we took it (which Rick set him straight that it wasn't funny and we've NEVER have seen or touched his money). Oh yeah that next week is PJ day and he 1 doesn't have PJ's and 2 doesn't have any money for them. Well dude I can take you to the Goodwill and pick some up and you can pay me back, but HELLO you need to talk to me! So Rick is my line of communication these days! Oh well that's fine I'm done going over and beyond, hang out in your room come out only when Rick is here or when your food is served. It's easier for me and it's your lose if you don't want to learn and be part of the family, you can't say I haven't tried or gone over and beyond. I think sometimes you just have to let life takes it course, you can't force things that aren't willing to be forced. You know like those jeans I once wore in College, yup forcing them up and over my thighs is not going to make them zip up (ok getting them up to my thighs wouldn't even happen). Ok enough about that, my new outlook is to just go with it and make the most of what I've been given. Just enjoy the moments with my kids. Speaking of moments with my kids, I leave you with a few pictures that should make you laugh (if they don't then your really on the wrong blog).

Hugs, Alexis ;) (I really need to add one of my cool name signatures)

Ok so here's the story! Cole was taking a bath, I turned to do laundry and heard a little splashing and didn't think a thing about it. Until I saw this when I came in and saw this. You know we've been working with Cole to go poop, well when he was taking a bath he had to poop. So he jumped out (literally check out all the water) and went poop. Well his hands were all wet and that made the toilet paper clump and then he got it stuck everywhere. So the tears and screaming got my attention to come help clean up the mess! At least he made it to the bathroom in time and no floaters in the tub.

I'm ready for school. We tried to get this

backpack off and he only did it when I bribe with food!
Auntie Tarra has been teaching me to wink.

Here's looking at you kid!
