my crazy little man

I've told quite a few people about these photos, so now it's time to do the show part of my tell.

Jackson was running around the house the other day when he came into the bedroom and said "woook at me mommy!!!" and had taken his shirt off and had it stuck on his head looking like some type of crazy hat.  I laughed so hard and of course that was the ultimate payoff so he kept running around that way for quite a while.

I went to check on him as he had gotten kind of quiet and he was sitting on the couch watching tv and this is what he was doing:

When i asked him why on earth he had a straw sticking out of his "hat" he said "I bwoah-ing in my ear!"  I absolutely CRACKED up and then ran for my camera.  I didn't get but 3 shots of him and they aren't that good because he is in this "DO NOT TAKE MY PICTURE" phase which is frustrating.  So here ya go, my crazy little man hard at work doing what he does best.  Makin' his momma laugh. 

Happy Wednesday,

photos are coming

I know i said that last post but really, i have them on my computer now, just haven't gotten around to doing anything with them.  The past week has been a hellish nightmare for me and i'm just now getting my wits about me and making some changes to remedy all this.  I will get them up sooner or later, just life has thrown me a curve ball and i need to take care of more pressing things than photos from the vacation.  I know ya'll understand cuz you love me, otherwise why would you be reading this?? :P

i'm off to the land of my thankless job.  catch ya'll later.......

aaaannnnddddddd.........we're back!

got back from cali yesterday morning.  everyone is for the most part safe and sound.  jack has a cold and connor is going back to his father's this afternoon.  the trip was AWESOME but the flight sucked so much ass i can't even begin to describe it right now.  (but you know i will in length, lol)  yes, i have pictures and no, i have not down loaded them off my camera yet.  (but you know i will)  So next post i promise to have photos and a detailed explanation of why you should NEVER fly U.S. Airways.  Southwest may be a bit more expensive but they have my business FROM NOW ON. 

Anyhoo....back to your regularly scheduled internet surfing.  See ya'll in a few days with photos and a bitch session!  :D

happy tuesday,

bloggity blah blah

Nothing new and noteworthy as of late, but felt like i should post something to keep my avid readers (this would be YOU) fascinated with my oh! so! glamorous! life.  (that would be ME)  {sarcasssssmmmm people}

Tattoo is healing nicely, many people have asked.  Still a little itchy and the skin is raised so you can feel it if you run your hand over it.  Like my back has been embossed.  But the scabbing is mostly gone and I keep it lotioned like you wouldn't believe.  I think by September (when DMB will be HERE!!) it will be ready to show off.  :D

Connor left for his father's house last night.  He's spending the summer there.  Or at least until he gets homesick far as we're concerned.  Jack is already driving me a little bonkers because he has no one to play with.  Norm dropped Connor off and from his account the entire scene was heart wrenching.  Jackson has a hard time with Connor going to school each day much less him being gone for the entire summer.  There were a lot of tears, a lot of hugs and kisses and afterwards a very sad and tearful face for Jackson.  The poor sweetie.  He's told me at least a dozen times today how much he misses "brudder" and wants him to come back from "Mike's howse".  I want him to come back too buddy but it's important he spend time with his father, much as I may despise him.  :(

Good news is that in a couple weeks I will be getting Connor back from Mike and we're taking a trip to California.  My baby sister Lori is graduating from highschool so the boys and I will be trekking to celebrate this milestone.  It also happens to be the same weekend as Father's Day which is kinda sucky because the boys won't be here to spend it with Norm.  We're planning on celebrating the weekend after in our traditional fashion and going bowling.  I'm already in planning mode, writing out my lists of what to pack for each of us.  I don't mess around when it comes to packing, I don't want to forget NOT ONE SINGLE THING.  I have a thing about not being prepared.  Might be due to that brief stint as a girlscout, might be that oldest child tendency, might be the Aries side of me showing through.  Whatever it is, drives me INSANE not being prepared and having what i need.  INSANE I TELL YOU.  :D

So that's about it for the most recent events.  GLAMOROUS HUH?  :D  Looking forward to another week *NOT REALLY* but I am most certainly looking forward to another WEEKEND!!!

*muchas smoochas*
