Easter Weekend

So I had an absolutely exceptional weekend with my children.  I got my girls on Friday after work and we just hung around the house, played some games, watched some TV and ate some snacks.  Saturday morning we slept in then went to the mall to pick out some Easter dresses for them and let me tell you, I am not one that likes to go to the mall for any reason.  However, this was a special occasion since they are both now old enough to have a say in their own personal styles.  My six year old had her dress picked out within the first twenty minutes and within the first thirty minutes she had her shoes picked out.  My twelve year old on the other hand had to go to at least five different stores for her dress, had to try on fifty different ones and the we had to break for lunch before we even started on the long search for her shoes.  When we finally left the mall both of the girls were very happy with their purchases and I was worn out.  When we got home we were pleasantly surprised by my parents and one of my nephews coming by, then within the next two hours both of my sisters and the rest of my nieces and nephews were at my house.  Which I was very pleased with considering they all live about an hour away and we don't get to see them all that much anymore.  About an hour later in the day we had another surprise, one of my friends that now lives in Dallas stopped by with her two girls.  They were in town for Easter visiting her parents and sister and we were very happy that she came by to see us.  So Saturday was a very busy and great day.  My daughters and I then awoke this morning and the Easter bunny had came and the girls were very excited to see all the candy and the little gifts that the bunny left for them.  We then started the long process of trying to get two little girls bathed, dressed, and all done up to go to church.  When we finally made it to church I was pleasantly surprised once again by seeing another friend of mine that I hadn't seen for probably ten years.  After church I took my daughters out to eat a good lunch and then we came back home and the girls spent the afternoon doing their nails and playing games.  I am very pleased with the way our weekend turned out and feel very blessed to have my children, family, and friends in my life. 

Freaking crazy people.

So during my tiny little lunch break that I got during my day today, I decided that I was going to read up on a little news that was happening in the world.  I don't generally pay much attention to the news because there isn't ever anything positive on it and Obamas' face is always plastered everywhere and well it's no surprise, but I don't personally care for the guy.  Anyway, so I was reading through some of the stuff on my AOL homepage and I came across one that says mother drives car into river killing herself and three of her children.  I thought what the hell is wrong with people.  So of course I read on when I should have just left it alone after reading the topic.  It turns out some loon in New York got in some domestic dispute with someone and then evidently got so mad that she just said screw it, I am going to kill three of my kids and myself in one of the worst ways to die.  That will teach'em lady!!  I mean this is a sad story, the women killed three innocent children, ages 5 and under, but the even shittier side is that she let her ten year old out of the car before driving into the river.  Good job mom leave your ten year all alone in life all f****ed up because you had some melt down over some lame ass domestic argument.  The world is so screwed up.  Look if any other jack wagons want to go off themselves that at least leave your kids the hell out of it. 

What a great weekend

So my birthday is coming up on Tuesday April twelfth and so this weekend my children, my parents along with my sisters and their children all came to my house for a BBQ.  The weather couldn't have been any more perfect for all of us to spend the day outside and to watch all of the kids run and play and for once to be able to be outside without having to wear more than shorts and flip flops.  It was a great day, my mom fixed my favorite cake, my oldest sister bought me a new study bible and my other sister bought me some lottery tickets that I won $22 dollars on.  My children got me a Harley Davidson wallet and my parents got me a new handy little vacuum.  I feel very blessed to have my family around to celebrate not only mine, but all of the special occasions that come along in life.  I could not have asked for a better weekend. 

Sorry it's late

Let me just start with man I am tired.  I have recently had to take on more work to provide for my family and had I known this would come I would not have signed up for twelve hours of Internet classes this semester.  Now don't get me wrong, I am not whining I am only saying that I hope that I at least pass all of my glasses since I have already paid for them.  However I do wish that my parent's would have kicked my ass and made me stay in college right out of high school.  I am convinced that had I stayed in then it would have not seemed so hard.  Well, at least finding the time to do the work is hard, if I had an extra four hours in my day I bet I could get things done on time.  I only wish that somebody had told me that 24 hours in a day is not enough time to do everything that needs to be done with work, kids, school, sports, home maintenance, and laundry.  I need a maid, one less job, 6 hours less of classes, and a beer!
