Just sitting here drinking a Smirnoff Ice in Passion Fruit....(BTW.....is totally nasty....but I bought it...so I am drinking it.) I have been spring cleaning ALOT lately.Today was the bathroom....YUUCK...along with the kitchen floor.....and now back to my room which I started last night! The only time I ever felt this kind of urge to clean I was 9 months pregnant......and I KNOW that aint the case this time.....LOL!! Oh well...at least it will be clean and I will be able to dedicate more time to scrapping.
I went to JC Penny's today and bought some new towels. I actually dont think I have 'replaced' the towels I had when I moved into this house. I got some as wedding gifts, some were bought as presents through the years....but I havent bought a set I know in a really loooong time. I bought 10....in blue,white,red,hot pink, and light blue......to match the tropical theme I have been slowly converting to. WOW....my bedding set was the first I have bought in 9 years too....I guess I am on a roll....LOL!!
Well I am off....I want to spend a few hours cleaning in my room....before going to bed!!

More Kittens.......
YES!! I said it...more KITTENS!! When I came home Tuesday....a male cat was fighting with our female cat outside that is pregnant. Well I locked him in the kennel to stop it...till Keith came home so we could decide what to do. Well.....of course Keith says shoot it....but I just can't do that...so I decided that we would try to give him to a friend of the family that has a dairy. Well since I had to let him out of the kennel....I let the other cat come inside for a few hours....then once he was locked back up....I would let her back out. Well......a couple of hours later....I here Coby say...momma.....Juliet is sitting on her baby...Of course....she would deliver since I let her inside....LOL She had just had it...and was cleaning it and such....so I grabbed the kennel from outside and put her and the baby in it. When we woke up on Wednesday morning....she had 5 babies!! OMG....I still have 9 that are almost ready to be given away.....I DONT NEED 5 more. I would put her outside with them....if I thought the other cat wouldnt mess with her.....but I dont know that so......here we go again!! ....the only good thing to this problem....is that they do stay in the kennel....and as long as the mom feeds them....I dont have to do anything!! :)
Who wants a kitten?

Returned from TEXAS
Well we returned from Texas today....after 7 fun filled days. It was great to have lots of time to visit with everyone.
The kids had their easter egg hunt at mom's. Cindy's 3 boys were there too. Even Derek decided he wanted to join in on the fun!! (yeah got a blackmail picture out of that one...LOL) We spent the day there...and then went back to dad's till Tuesday. We spent 2 more nights with mom....before returning to dad's at the end of the week....to get ready to come home.
The kids loved being able to wake up around 830 AM and play outside ALL day....until dusk dark. I think the was the first time in their short years they grabbed a pillow and blanket around 8-9 PM and went to sleep with NO problems. I can say that they played their little hearts out!! They really enjoyed uncle Floyd playing catch football with them....and then taking them to feed his chickens!! Every night the bath tub was full of dirt, sand and grass.....a true indication of a hard day's play!!!
The weather was GREAT!! It rained a little on Sunday...but turned out to be a WONDERFUL sunny day. The weather stayed clear and sunny the whole week....until FRIDAY....and then it RAINED all day!! The kids were like sardines in a can.....I eventually took them to McDonald's to play....to help work some of that energy out!! LOL
We didnt get to see Chelsea....which was hard on the kids....but they seemed ok with it as time went on. I just hope she realizes that family should ALWAYS come first. Her sister and brothers are growing up wayyy to fast.....and soon they arent going to have time for her.....so she should take advantage of the time she has with them now. But some lessons have to be learned.....the hard way!!
I got a whole bunch of pictures from my mom to make copies of....so I can start on a scrapbook about me. I hope to go back in the summer....and get some from Dad and Nana....to complete my life story scrapbook!!! I hope one day my kids will appreciate and enjoy learning all about my life!!
Well off to rest and relax......gotta work on Monday!!!

Very Tired
This week has been very exhausting for me....I worked Monday night, Thursday day shift and then Friday and Saturday night. A total of 48 hours...{it even makes me tired thinking about it...LOL} I think the really hard part...it the transition from days to nights...and back to days!! But...I will adjust....the good news is I will have off a whole week come Friday!!! YEAAAHHHHH!!
Kids only have to go to school 4 days this week!! They are out Friday and then all next week for Spring break so we are going to go to Texas for the week! The kids are sooo excited! They havent been since before Thanksgiving....so they are looking forward to it!!
I was shocked when I got home from work this morning. Keith had washed up all the dishes, cleaned out the cabinet above the stove, and put away the dishes he washed! {O-O} <----those were my eyes...LOL He even started a roast this morning so it would be ready for supper tonight. I asked him what had gotten into him...and he said he just started doing it....and just did it!! Well I told him that it meant ALOT to me....to have that task done....and not on MY to do list. Then with the dishes washed up and supper cooking was EVEN BETTER....because I am soo tired...and probably wouldnt have gotten around to it today or tomorrow...and those are my only days off before I work again. So he does care....it apparently is DEEP...but there....LOL!!!!
We took the kids to park for a little while today so they could use their side walk chalk. They didnt get to play on the slide and swings because there was an Easter Egg hunt going on....and lots of people in that section.....so we went across the street...and let the kids play on the soccer field....it also has a paved track for walking. They drew a few pictures and decided to run up and down the field...LOL!! Then we started playing Tic Tac Toe. Right before we left.....I drew an outline of each of the kids....and let them color it....they turned out SOOO cute! The kids didnt want to leave them....but I told them we could always re-draw them!!! :)
Better end now.....try to get some clothes washed for next week!!!
