cheetah-licious

Took M to see the Cheetah girls! It was wayyy out of the way, like an hour and a half, but it was so good to spend some one on one time w/ her. Its been like, years!
On the way there we discussed Santa. This is def the last year she is buying into him for sure. Bittersweet i guess. The concert was HILARIOUS! I mean, i'm really glad that these girls have a positive message, but oh my gosh the marketing that goes into making these girls such a hot commodity! I realized my own little M must be watching far too much television, since all the songs are only on the Disney channel and she knew them all by heart.
The girls were so darn funny though. and some of the dads w/ their girls stole my heart away.
Little F cried almost the whole time i was away. :(
D said he is never watching him again, at least until he's weaned.
Im so done. Like really really done.

the walking man

Do you ever drive by houses and daydream about who lives inside? Maybe its a really expensive home, or unique or has an enchanted garden. For some reason it just appeals to you and you think, should that house ever go on the market, i'm making a bid.
Well, on my route to and from the kids school there is such a house. I have been drawn to it for years. Well the other day when picking the kids up the entire house was surrounded by crime scene tape. fast forward to the nightly local news and come to find out that an elderly man was killed in his sleep!
So, anyway.....the walking man. Also, on our twice daily trek to the kids school (we live out of district) we see a walking man. He is either mentally ill or physically ill, i cant even guess. But each and every day for the past few years ive seen him walk up and down this street. Literally ALL day. He looks homeless and i cant even begin to tell you how many times i've come thisclose to stopping and asking his story.
Well, guess what? He is the step-son and presumed murderer of the elderly man!

lost, not found

So, after a few weeks of increasing demands and sky high stress, i thought i would turn to blogging. It's saved my sanity before and i could use some sanity rightaboutnow. Unfortunatly i can't find my blog. A mixed blessing no doubt. Seeing as i have made no progress since the last one, it would probably depress and stress me more to read it anyway. So....here's my new one, bright and shiny new.

Mondays are my most hated day of the week, well after Sunday's anyway. I used to love them both. Until my significant other got a part time job on Sundays. Making him a not very significant part of 2 whole days of the week. One spent working all day, the next sleeping it off. In front of me. As i struggle to get 4 kids!! fed, bathed,read to. You see why this might make me a little resentful.

Still, i did getone golden nugget today. Well two really......S and M, who are usually at each others throat were so, well, nice to each other today. M "helped" S with his homework. They joked quietly and S warned M when the dog went for her stuffed dog, fudge.
