lil update

i realize that many of you that read my blog are also on FB so you will recognize pictures from time to time.. i've been so busy, the only thing i've used our camera for lately is home decor and wreaths.. bad bad mom, i know!

Life out here in Georgia has been busy! i'm nearing the end of my math class for this term and will be taking my final next week a day before my cousin flies in! Im ready for a mental break, even if its only a week. I will be starting ANOTHER math class for Spring term the end of March. ( You'd think i actually LIKE math, but the truth is, i'm a math IDIOT and have to catch up to the level i need to apply for the nursing program. )

Yesterday, we had an impromtu lunch with daddy- after hitting the gym we decided Sushi was our lunch of choice. They made lil muffin a special set and this is what she did with them. I cant get over her eyes in this pic! She's been a HUGE challenge lately- VERY strong willed and reminds me of her dad on a daily basis. Seriously, if she would have been my first, i think i would have stopped having kids. She s a tough one. Her daily outfit at home consists of ONLY underwear. NO LIE. She's even been known to take her clothes off at church! With her being the second, i've learned to pick my battles and how she matches or the crazy outfits she comes up with, i just let it slide and let everyone get a good laugh at it- for example- This same day, she wore a shirt, with a skirt and DORA SNOW BOOTS she'd stolen from her friend down the street. The kicker? she put them on the wrong feet!

.... Onto mini me- she's been a load of fun lately too. ( extreme sarcasmmmmmmm) i LIVE for the time the husband gets home. By then i'm so mentally drained i swear it takes me 5 minutes to think of an answer to a question they ask me!

She just had her 6 month dentist check up and everything is perfect- she's excited to hear that her teeth are crowded and in a few years she'll be needing Braces - ( another great gene of teeth crowding passed on) She's flying thru school, but i sense she's ready for her Spring break - arent we ALL?!

I recently found THIS lil number in the bottom of her back pack--- ahhhh the days of being a little girl and dreaming about your prince charming, your wedding day and your new last name. LOL- i'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that one of our good friends and neighbors ( miss Sassy Season partner) is getting married in May and we're all talking about it. So, pictured below are mini me's wedding colors- i thought it was creative she made it look like M and M candy!

I'll try and be better with posting- but eveything going on.. blog is not priority

Fun & Games til someone gets hurt!!

Tuesday was our LAST day with the twins and their mommy.. They went back to England after being on a 5 wk vacation here- This was really the only friend i've made here that i hang out with on a regular basis, so dangit.. i'm friendless again ;) Kidding, really i am!
We took the kids to this place called Monkey Joes- its full of the bouncy toys that kids every age can use- Well, lex came to me after being there an hour crying. Now, she is the Queen of drama but i could tell something was REALLY wrong! there was RED welts on her neck. She proceeded to tell me some boy had CHOKED her!
Lord, have mercy, i wanted to find that kid and BEAT him down! he looked like the kid off of the movie Problem child- ya followin' me?! So, i find a referree to let them know what had happened and he TRIES confronting the kid. You could tell the kid was Freaked that he was caught and of course lies that he didnt do anything- and then TAKES OFF! His mom walks up and asks if there is a problem-
I'm furious, but try to act calm and collected. I tell her the problem and she freakin says to m e :" i'm not trying to make excuses for him, but he's never done this kind of thing before.
"Well, he might not of, but look at her neck, it has RED marks on it."
She asks her son if he did it and he turns into the EXCORCIST kid:"
(SCREAMING) " I didnt do anything to her!!", as he's burrowing his head into
his mom's chest. I keep watching this TRAINWRECK of a kid.. his mom just stands there RUBBING his hair and allowing him to scream. The kid had to be at least 8-
i could tell this wasn't going anywhere, and that the mom was such a sorry excuse for a mom, making excuses for him that she wasn't going to make him apologize for choking my child. By this point, i grabbed Lex's hand and walked away. I sat down at the table i was at, and watched this lady sit down and have her son sit on her lap while he moped and she rubbed his head feeding into his BULL for 30 min. !! Let me just tell you, if MY kid had pulled that, i would have made her apologize and we would have LEFT - how does a kid learn that its wrong if you let them stay?!
Here's the kicker.. these random ladies at my table told me the kids mom was a TEACHER! hmmmm. not at my school thank goodness. Let me also just say Jo from Super Nanny would NOT be impressed by her parenting skills.
I wanted to just whip out a taser and teach him a lesson of his own ;)Next time i go - i'll pack one in my purse. .. uh...

*Mrs. Jennifer with Quin*
(This chick is a SUPER mom, takes 3 kids to and from England Alone, thru airports,
and planned on taking the kids out on the town in NY on her layover!!.. She's got some gutts, i dunno how she does it!)

*Lex with the twins*

*Sisters, i just love this picture*

*Miss Lex looks like she's in Heaven- *

*Quin wasnt so sure about this at first but once she figured it out, she was unstoppable!*

*WHY do they put all the toys at kids level? Poor kid just wants EVERYTHING-
marketing, marketing, marketing. Didnt work for me,i dont buy that junk!*
