Fall, Football, Fun

Saturday was the opening season of football!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!! It was a great day indeed!!  My sooners won but it was ugly!! OSU won and it was ugly!! So, with this out in the air... Football season = FALL IS COMING SOON!!  In high hopes it cools off!  School started, and it has been busy crazy central around here.  I am not real sure that things will ever slow down.  LOL

 I have 2 friends that now have foreign exchange students in their homes, and are having a great experience!!  I am so happy that these 2 boys got the families they did.  They are awesome people and will have a great time.

Well went to the doctor yesterday because of some muscle cramping I am having.  Good news is that it isn't serious.  Bad news(well maybe not; yes, no,) I guess I am torn on that lol.  I have to quit drinking so much caffeine and change my eating habits, and lose some weight.  I know it's a good thing(**BIG** sigh) but it's not gonna be easy for this meat and potato girl.  Ok changing the subject. That's depressing :)

Our son is a well a little(ok A LOT) ornery.  I take him to school this morning and he gets into his classroom, and hangs his head, and looks like he is going to cry.  So, me being a typical mother(I will fill you in on this in a min) picks him up and says baby what's wrong?  Do you not want to stay today?(prob not the best idea) He lays his head on my shoulder, and then turns to look at me and was laughing(OMG seriously???).  I was about to start crying and he is laughing... he is his DADDY'S child.  I ask him what his deal was and said he wants MA(grandma) to pick him up from school.... I am sooooooo glad I didn't cry cause that woulda been so embarrassing!!  LOL  So, I was telling my momma(Ma) at breakfast what had transpired at school this morning.  Of COURSE my dad(Pa) tells me to just take him out of school and bring him to him so he can drive the semi's, and go to Arkansas with him(he is going Saturday with him lol).  Dad did NOT want me to send him to school and wants me to go get him everyday(oh my). Soooo my momma says firmly(mind you she doesn't tell Luke no... for real... EVER) you need to just tell him NO(yep that came out of her mouth) that he has to stay at school.  This is coming from the one who kinda cried a little when we dropped him off the first day of school.  She told me to just not pick up or make him think that's ok(such a hard core grandparent(PLEASE) LOL LOL.  Ok I gotta quit laughing at her b/c she will beat me(I ain't sceerreeed) hehehehe

Well gotta go and see what today has in store(I have a feeling it involves cleaning, a nap, and maybe some homework).  Have a great day!! :)))

Separation Anxiety!!

Here it goes!!  With all the devastation in the state of Oklahoma right now.  The fires, the loss of land, homes, etc, the arsonist setting the fires, the arsonist being caught on our property(talk about anxiety attack), my family possibly being evacuated out of our homes, my baby boy starting Pre-K on the 20th, and and and and momma starting her last year of college(YAY FOR ME) =======>>>>> A big 'ole blubbering baby today!! And, the fact that school supplies for a Pre-K student is over 60 bucks!! That should not be like that!!

Now separation anxiety=====UUUHHHHHH I have been home with our son most of his life.  For 3 years he has been with me everyday and now I have to share him???!!!!!  I DON'T LIKE IT!!!  I know he needs and has to be in school but this momma doesn't wanna let go and let him grow up!!  But, the facts of life sometimes sucks!!!  

I had to let out a big sigh today, and get on with it!!  But, I don't to like it!!

So, for the blubbering baby today I may have to have a Dr. Pepper!!  Ya know kind of a security!!

Oklahoma has been burning!!

As most of you are aware by now Oklahoma is burning.  It has been burning since last week.  This is the work of an arsonist!!  The problem is they have NO IDEA who it is.  They keep getting descriptions but with no luck as to who. And, the person has been setting them everyday!!  UGH!! The person came out to our place and I thankfully scared them off.  They saw me and took off way to suspiciously for me to not think it was them.  Ironically a fire started 4 miles from our home about 1hr. later.

I have worked in law enforcement most of my life and this has caused much distress.  I am an emotional person, and get very excited when something like this happens.  And, it being so close to home has got very worried!!!  Hopefully this person will stop!!

Cupcakes, Bread, and Birthday!!!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

Well I am officially a year older today!! Can't believe it's already been a year!!  It has flown by!! Have I mentioned I am married to the most amazing man ever?! Well I am!  As I have said before I LOVE to cook and bake!! I have wanted a kitchen aid mixer for a VERY LONG time!!  Well guess what I got for my birthday(you prob. have already guessed)?? Yep he got me a kitchen aid mixer!!  I jumped up and down, screamed, and almost cried when I opened it last night!!  He is AMAZING and he kept the secret for 2 1/2 months(and he tortured me the whole time)!! Hahaha I ask my son what he wants me to make with it first and guess what he said(DUH ON MY PART)?!!  Cupcakes!!  So, I am going to surprise him with orange and black cupcakes(It's hard on me to do things like this considering I am an OU fan & they are OSU fans)!!  The things we do for our kids and spouses!!  Now, I want some nice and warm homemade bread!!  So, I am almost sure that will be on my list this week too!! LOL Everyone will prob. gain 50 pounds by the time I get over my excitement!!  Hahaha

I never knew how cool these things are!  They have pasta, ice cream, meat grinder, and I am sure much more attachments for this thing!!  I am mainly concerned with the ice cream maker.  I am gonna save my money and get one of those!!  We love ice cream!! Haha 

Well I guess I better get around and get some stuff done around here!!  Have a  great week all!!!

Unsure of what to call this one!

It's Friday night!  I am lost in thoughts as my guys play football on xbox.  I can't help but think of years ago.  Things were so simple!  No bills, nothing but time, and being young.  As I get older I reminisce more and more.  I have lost so many people close to me(not just in death).  I realize people change, and life happens.  But, you can't help but wonder how other people you once loved and cherished every moment with them are doing.  I can't help but think about a friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a very long time.  She has been my best friend since kindergarten.  I miss her!!  For reasons beyond my own control we don't get to see each other.  I wish that would change.  But, I LOVE my life, and love my bestest friends I have now.  I don't want to ever lose them!!  I just like to think about those years every now and then!! 


NOW.. I bought a carpet cleaner(well my mommy bought it for upcoming birthday.. hey priorities as adults kinda suck and we resort to using our birthdays to get things we wouldn't normally buy ourselves...face it) and I spent 5 hours cleaning carpets(and the hubby moved furniture, and piddled, and the kiddo well how do I put it thinks he helped.. hehehe) and our carpets are so clean we could eat off of them(I swear I will scream and lock myself in a rubber room if they spill something on it)!!  My back hurts, my kitchen looks like a war zone, my other floors are sticky, my laundry basket threw up all over the place, and my back hurts(have I mentioned that?).  OH and I have mentioned it rained(SERIOUSLY?????????)  I haven't cleaned my carpets in well a long time and the ONE day I decide to it rains(ok I am done cause we sod farm families NEED rain)!!  Have I mentioned that our son finds the ONLY mud hole on the farm and jumps up and down screaming until he is covered in mud(Can I have that rubber room now?? PLEASE????)!!  Luckily we caught him before he  was totally covered!!  I was telling my grandma that I finally got done cleaning the carpets, and she just laughed at me and says(gotta love grandMA ism's):  Well BACK IN THE DAY(REALLY grammy?? LOL LOL LOL) it took a lot longer to keep our floors clean(mind you in like 1940 or something) cause we didn't have machines to do it(OMG I would have NEVER survived)!!  Speaking of machines... HOW IN the all that is holy did they survive with NO microwave??????  Ok that is all!!!  

A little over a month

Well as I sit here and write this I am almost in tears.  This summer has went way to fast, and our baby boy starts pre-K!  I am not ready in no shape, form, or fashion!!  I am almost in tears!  Can I just pretend I send him to school(ya know like when we were kids pretend)?  I know I know I can't but I want to.  I wanna run to the hills, and hide forever!  Ok.. enough of my blubbering!  I gotta put my big girl panties on and face it!!  


I graduate in 1yr. FINALLY!!  It seems like it was never gonna end!  I am hoping it will fly by(ok so I secretly like "school"... OK the school breaks)!  I will def. need another vacation by this time next year!  Hopefully things work out and we get to take a I dunno mini-other honeymoon~adult only vacation to Mexico.  If not we will eventually!  


As my wonderful hubby and I drove home the other night from Branson we talked and talked and talked.  It felt so good to have some great conversation! We are both so happy with our life and it can only getter better!!  I love him more and more everyday!  He is an excellent father, and husband!!  Boy I am lucky!! 


Well I am off and running for the day!!  Random thoughts for today are brought to you by a refreshing vacation!!!! ;)

Shut the front door!!!

Well it's has been a super busy weekend!!  My WONDERFUL hubby takes such good care of us!  He re-filled the swimming pool for us!!  Yay!! We watched Oilton fireworks, church, Wal-Mart(I think I live there), and now home relaxing!  We may try and sneak in a nap today!

Sitting here thinking about all the times my parents would tell us things like:  Shut the front door!  We don't want to air condition the outside.  Or you do the same things your mom does when you clean, cook, etc.  Well I had eaten a cupcake(shhhh don't tell anyone) and I asked Luke to tell me if I had icing on my face.  He said oh ya mom wait.  He turns my head licks his thumb, and wipes it off(OH MY GOODNESS)!!  I am not saying this is a bad thing!  I have picked up some great things from my parents!!  In leu of an anniversary for my best friend and my sister(in-law) mothers passing please DON'T EVER take for granted any time with the people who you care about the most!!  Always tell them you love them, and never ever for get to thank them for making you who you are today!!  Have a good Sunday!!
