I should have blogged about this sooner but I didnt so sue me!  LOL  I have a 17 month old grl and she had a hard day or as hard of a day that can happen to a 17 month old...LOL.

This happened on Monday.  We were waiting outside for my parents to pick up the kids and I to go shopping cuz Madison was getting new shoes.  Well Madi was running around and she fell and got mud all over her coat and scratched her nose up.  (Thank goodness we werent doing pictures).  We get to the mall and take her to Stride Rite.  She screams when the guy touches her foot to measure her..........I seriously wish she would get out of this stage!  Then she screams again after my mom puts on her new shoes (They have kittens on them and oh so cute) and the guy has to touch the shoes to make sure they fit.    We were leaving and the boys took off running and went through the doors.....well here comes Madi thinking Hey my big brothers just went running and so will I.....needless to say she still hasnt learned the whole glass window thing.  So in full running speed she runs smack into the glass window that was right next to the door that the boys just went through.  She bounced back and fell flat on her back, arms sprawled out and started balling her eyes out.  Well.....my parents, her brothers and I were dying laughing.  We could barely catch our breath we were laughing so hard.  DONT worry...nothing happened to Madi except a lil bump on her forehead.  Then we finally get home and someone mopped the floor and she goes walking on it and falls again!   Such a rough day for my lil grl!!!!!

So far another boring weekend is happening but its quiet!  Adam and I fought yesterday after he picked the boys up.  He didnt bother telling me his gf wasnt goin to pick up the boys till 4:30 and the only reason I found out then was I called her at that time and she said OH I am at home sick I figured Adam would have called u.  (YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT)   Sooooooo I called him at work and he said yeah I will prolly be picking them up but I dont know when!  THANK GOD  I didnt have any plans or I would have had to either cancel them or post pone them.  I was pissed because I DIDNT know till 4:30 (keep in mind his gf normally picks them up at 5 if she gets out of work on time)  I even talked to him in the morning and he didnt say a damn word.  Well after he picked up the boys he called me from his cell and was bitching on how I had no right to be pissed off at him (because the boys of course told him I was mad).  I told him I was pissed cuz I didnt know till 4:30 and I wanted to go out for dinner and didnt have the $ to include the boys.  Well then he was telling me how the boys told him that I never take them out for dinner....cough cough.........  Um yes I DO!!!!!  But of course I said I do and pointed out one instance that I did and of course after hanging up the phone with him I thought of 4 other instance that I took the boys out to eat.  Shit that is the only thing I do when the boys arent here and I maybe do that once a month.  GGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!!  MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     If he wouldnt tell me things at the last minute then I wouldnt be pissed off!  IF the tables were turned he would have been soooooooo pissed off at me.  I think I need to turn the tables on him one time and c how he likes it but of course he wont understand it and on why I did something like that!    UUUUGGGHHHHHH!!!! 

Right now I am at my parents house waiting to go out for dinner and to half price books so I can turn in my books to get other ones.  Madi is napping so i thought I would get on here and rant and rave!  LOL

Kris's conference went well but Adam didnt go.  He wasnt feeling well.  UGH!  Kris's main problems are taking his time doing work and double checking and also not worrying what everyone else is doing and concentrate on himself.   He brought his grades up to D's so now he has to bring them up to C's for his report card or he will be grounded again but for now he is off grounding since he brought them up from F's.   Things are soooo different then when I was in school.  Everything is more concentrated on Math, reading and writing because of these proficiency tests and Ohio law. 

This weekend the boys go to Adams so I get a lil break and boy do I need it.  Today and Monday they are off of school and they are already driving me nuts by fighting over stupid stuff so thank god I have a 2 day break in between.  LOLOL

This past weekend went well.  Stephen had a great birthday.  Adam came out to dinner with us on Sunday and we all had fun and he actually paid for me and the kids!  I was shocked!!!  Today he is supposed to come to town for Kris's conference with his teachers so that should be interesting.  Today is interim day so I should know whether or not Kris is off grounding.  After 3 math tests he brought home yesterday I seriously doubt he will be off grounding.  UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

This weekend once again flew by.  My friend Shannen called me last nite and surprised me by doing so.  I havent talked to her in yrs on the phone.  I have heard from her through email but nothing any big deal and now she calls me.  WOW!  Something is up with her.  She lives in Michigan and wants to come down for the weekend to catch up with some of my old friends cuz she misses all the fun we had in High School hanging out.  She is married with 3 boys and I think something is going on with her marriage cuz she didnt want to discuss her husband.  She said things arent well.  She kept talking about all the fun we had in HS and what she remembers and how she wants to go out and have fun again without kids.  So I told her I will try to contact those people and c what I can do.  Hopefully it will work out cuz I havent hung out with my old friends in YEARS!  (Thats a whole other story to explain why I dont hang out with them and maybe that will be next blog)  I emailed both my friends so hopefully I will hear back from them soon.  One of them is a friend of mine but also exboyfriend of Shannens.  They didnt date long and this was back in HS so over 12 yrs ago so hopefully her ex wont think anything of it cuz I know she isnt looking to hook up with him cuz she knows he is married and she never mentioned anything of that but she just wants to catch up with him and the others.    I think that will be OK considering all the yrs that have gone by.

This weekend I did some shopping and got NEW SOCKS!  Woohoooo!  That was my exciting purchase!  All the kids and I got new socks!  How exciting!  &nbs p; NOT!  LOLOL  Adam and his gf dropped the boys off and stayed a lil bit to see Madison.  She wanted nothing to do with him till he was leaving.  She held out her hands and Adam picked her up and took her outside.  <MY MOUTH DROPPED SINCE SHE LET HIM DO THIS> and she was just looking around and pointed to his car and he brought her to his car and put her in the back in between her 2 sisters.  I stayed inside around the corner so she wouldnt see me and ruin this great moment.  She sat in the car and smiled and laughed.  Finally he motioned for me to get her and so I did!  I was sooooo shocked she was willing to go with him considering the hour that he was here to c her  She wouldnt go to him or give him hugs or play with him.   I think its great that she did tthat.  I am wondering if she would have actually gone with him.    I think next time we should put the carseat in his car and c if she would leave with him.  That will be interesting!

Next weekend is Stephens bday (Sunday).  Sooooooo on Sat we are going to my parents for Pizza and they can give him his gifts which are books.  Then on his bday his dad is still coming and we are going to Meijers so Stephen can pick out what he wants from his dad and spend his bday gift card from me and then we are going to Applebees for dinner.  I think it will be a fun bday for him!

I cant believe Stephen is going to be 8 yrs old.  He is growing up sooooo fast and now since school has started he wants to be called Steve.  It hasnt worked out too well cuz I keep forgetting.  I dont want him to be Steve yet.  It sounds soooo grown up.  I want him to be Stephen the rest of his life..........***sigh***  

Gawd I am soooooo sick of snow.  Thank goodness the kids didnt have any school delays or closings.  I was just commenting to a friend yesterday on how all the snow has melted off the yards and BAM...its snow covered again!  I want the WARM sunny weather!  NOT hot just warm!!!!

I am thinking about starting a blog on Myspace.  I already have a profile there so I could check out my friends other blog and had to join it and it seems pretty cool.  I will let u all know what its like over there!  I already tried setting my background colors and stuff and already there was an error in doing so.....LMAO!!!!  But I am a patient person!  LOL
