Life's ups and downs

Well it has been WAY WAY WAY to long since I have written.  So much has went on, and frankly I didn't have many positive things to say until Nov.  I decided I needed to go ahead and move on and live my life happy!!  So, I am! hehe

It's the holidays, and although some major things have happened and changed I am grateful.  I am grateful that I have a wonderful family, and a home, warm bed, food, clothes. etc.  It's ALMOST Christmas break!!  I CAN'T WAIT!!!  I am going to do some much needed reading, relaxing, relaxing, reading, relaxing... have I mentioned relaxing?????  Ok.. just checkin!  I am starting to warm up to the fact it's almost Christmas, and it really hasn't been cold.  I frankly NEED the cold to be able to deal with the heat in Oklahoma!!  And, the last few years hasn't been acceptable!!  I am almost done Christmas shopping~~~~~WOW I just said that!!  Hahahahahaha  However, I will leave last minute things to do so I can sneak off and do some retail therapy during this season!!

Ok I am off to go get little man!!!!  Have a great week!!

News

It has been a crazy crazy week around here! But, the weather is sooooo nice and cool!  So, I made homemade chicken and noodles this evening for supper!  Man they were good!!  So, tomorrer(Luke'ism) I am making pumpkin bread, and sweet potato bread.  Yummo with my coffee!

In other news..... I bought an iPat(Luke'ism) last week. However, the iPat has been in Luke's  possession for a lot of this time playing his games.  Those things are so cool.  I remember when I first used a computer.. it was a long time ago!! LOL

More news:  Next weekend starting Friday morning Luke and I are going to Branson with my parents, and some great friends!  Luke, myself, and our friends will be riding some rides!  My parent's are chickens!! Haha I need a good adrenaline rush..it's long over due... really long over due... I really wish the hubby didn't have to work and could go.  Boo!

More news cont'd:  LOL Well since I have been taking care of my grandma she has commented several times about how good of a cook I am.  At first I just thought she was being nice... but it keeps happening.  I mean DUH Kristy... I learned from the 3 best cooks EVER... So, she LOVES my sweet potato bread.. I was in shock the other day when she told me it was past due for her to get some.  So, after I get her settled in the morning I will be whipping up some of that and pumpkin bread!!  I LOVE to bake.... especially for people I care about!! ;)))  Well I am off to relax!! Have a great weekend!! Oh and BOOMER SOONER!!!

Squirrel

It's fall... FINALLY!!  The cooler weather has prompted the animals to get ready for winter.  The dogs are getting their winter coats, and the squirrels are preparing for winter.  I have 4 squirrels in my back yard.  They make me laugh on a daily basis.  I know little things amuse me!!  Hehehe  As I was watching them this morning bury their nuts 1 squirrel is SERIOUS about it's food.  No really... SERIOUS!!  Hahaha Anytime one of the other squirrels come near his buried treasure he goes all ninja squirrel (well as well as a fat squirrel can).  It's quite comical actually.  Yesterday it was fighting with one of the other squirrels.. like rolling around, chasing each other fighting.  I was cracking up!! LOL  Well this morning this squirrel had 3 nuts and it was in the process of burying it all when another squirrel stole 1 from it. I have not seen that fat squirrel move so fast!!  OH MY GOSH... Now that was some funny stuff!!!  I was snorting because I was laughing so hard.. did I just say I snorted... OH MY!!  LOL So after catching the other squirrel they proceeded to fight.  I am pretty sure that other squirrel was just picking a fight(BULLY squirrel).  Anyway, if you need a good laugh come watch my squirrels!!  HAHAHA

Jack of all trades & ER visit!!

Well boys and girls you can say I have tried my hand at many jobs in my life.  One thing I have learned over the years is that I LOVE the medical field, and law enforcement field.  And, most recently I have started selling ThirtyOne (am now addicted to this stuff).  If you haven't looked at or haven't had bought anything from them you are missing out!!  I am addicted~~I have a weakness for bags and purses... a terrible addiction... my husband hates it... Coach is my other obsession. LOL Ok.. I never thought in a million years I would love selling this stuff as much as do this!! I don't ever get to excited over systems like this.. but this is well... on a rating scale... compared to the Twilight series... neck to neck!!!  Did I just say I love the Twilight series.. oopps.. lol not really.. I can say that right?? Ha  So if you wanna check this stuff out here is my sight!! ;)  www.mythirtyone.com/205615

NOW.. Ya gotta love those middle of the night, freak out, take your kid to the ER visits.  NOT... Rob and I went to get in bed last night, and every night no matter what time we take Luke to the bathroom before bed.  I go to get him up, and he is COVERED in a rash... OMG... welps, rash, red.. we got a little scared.  He was fine when we put him to bed, and boom.. a matter of a couple of hours, and oh my!! My uncle almost died a few times (literally) from allergic reactions to nuts.  Then another thought... SPIDER bite.. We killed a big 'ole nest of fiddle back(brown recluse for you non Okies) spiders a couple of weeks ago.. So, we threw clothes on us all and off we went.  That was the fastest, most reliving visit to the ER ever!!  Thank goodness that it wasn't a bite, and we really have no idea as to what it was!! But, he is fine today.  But, he got to stay home and rest from school today(he isn't happy about it)... MY kid is mad cause he didn't have to go to school... WHOA Ok.. that is all for now!!

My rear in the sand with an umbrella drink!

WHOA... I graduate in May!! MAY......OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!  It's coming quick... and I am not ready.. ok I am ... maybe not ....  Ok I am whew.. got a little scared there!  I am going to be able to hire, fire, train, and all kinds of good stuff and not so good stuff. Ha.

So, really I am a little scared to graduate!  I am terribly nervous about all this!!  What if I don't like it?  What if I they don't like me (ok I am in Human Resources duh)?

With all this coming to play, the absolute craziness of everything around me, and my family Rob and I are ready for a vacation away!!  We LOVE our child.. but face it.. You can't bring your kid to Mexico.. You just can't!! HAHAHA My hiney along with the hubby's hiney will be placed in the sand with pretty little drinks with umbrellas for me, and "manly" alcohol for the hubby, and lots of sleep, book reading... shopping (DID SOMEONE SAY S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G.)!!! If any of my wonderful friends would like to join us you may..just NO kids allowed on this trip gang!!  I need to rest!! ;)

OH and 1 more thing!!  I HEART me some FFA Blue & Gold Sausage & Chicken!!!!  That is what was for dinner the past 2 nights!! LOL YUMMO!!!

Boys Will Be Boys!!!

Let me explain the first 3 photos and we will go from there.  As well all know boys will be boys!!  Kinda like boys and their toys.  Boys have small toys when they are little but, as they get older the "toys" get bigger.  Now keep in mind we have a 4 yr. and a 65 year old in these photos.  So the range of toys are huge!  I think my dad gets bored easily.  I mean when you have worked your entire life, and all of a sudden you have your kids/employees doing it for you; you get bored! And, when your 4yr. old grandson likes "toys" just as much you and can vocalize his opinion there is no telling you what can happen.  Luckily for my momma their second grandson can't talk yet or there is no telling what might happen!  Lord knows what will happen when there are more babies added(HAHAHA).  So, apparently Luke convinced Pa to buy the truck, and these are the photos that transpired out of it.  Luke & Pa had a BLAST!!

NOW... the last picture.  This is what I had to look at and figure out... OH MY.. that was the worst day ever..ok maybe not.. yes it was... maybe... maybe not.  Ok.. We had no air conditioner, I was HOT, doing homework, and dealing with the irrigation pump timer not working.  Sooooo the hubby was exhausted, and he put me in charge of the timer.  Ok for starters I have technically have NEVER set the speed, the timer(it's easy to get), or anything that goes along with this.  So, about 1 in the morning I set out on this adventure.  The hubby explained what the knob looked like, which rod to turn, etc.. So, I went and got er done.. well so I thought... ooopppssss.  So about 15 minutes later I go to get on the 4 wheeler, go look only to realize I never did it right.. back to the house I go NOT wanting to eat crow and wake up the hubby.  But, at that point I had to do it... I was about to pass out from exhaustion and heat stroke.. ok not really but it felt like it.

It's hot in here in my most redneck voice!!

Oklahoma weather is well......Imagine Mother Nature in a permanent bad mood.  It's hot one...cold the next...windy and losing everything off your porch kinda bad mood.  It's September and still in the upper 90's.  Guess what happened Friday????  Oh wait for it.... My AIR CONDITIONER DIED, and took my ceiling fan in my living room with it.  Luckily it didn't take my TV with it.  When your air conditioner dies when you live in Oklahoma it's never a good thing!! ******SIGH****** It's ok though.  We will get through it... I hope... ok we will... well maybe.... it's supposed to 74 Thursday... we will make it....

In leu of a friend's blog postings the last few days(which is on my list here) I have been catching myself pronouncing things in my head( OK I am not losing it).  I remember when I was in New York OMG they made fun of me so bad!  I just laughed and said ya'll say stuff weird(in my most redneck voice ever).  We say yes and say ma'am... oh ok I am back.  Well we do!! That was one of the first few words we were taught. Yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, no sir.  It's respect..just a little bit... sorry drifted off again.  Ok I am done for tonight.  I think the heat is getting to me!! LOL I'm gonna go take a cold shower!!!  Peace!!
