Can you hear me?

I have not written for a bit. Life kind of got away from me there for a bit:)

You know some times if i could not hear myself talk i swear i was going crazy or my kids were going deaf. I said to my daughter " did you do your homework?" she looks at me with a completely blank face...i repeat myself " is your homework done?" again with the blank face. She is only 9 and not even a teenager yet! My husband will come across me crawling around on the floor picking up toys and ask why i just don't get the kids to to it. well i can spend 45 minutes standing over them nagging and cajoling or i can do it myself in 10 and nobody gets hurt..lol

meet the teacher

Well i went and met my daughters teacher last night. Actualy she has 3 teachers this year. One for Social, Science and Math, and one for Reading and writing and Spelling. My daughter is also in the gifted program ( puffs out chest...yeah..thats my girl ) so she has another teacher for that as well. They all seemed very happy and perky, i bet that fades as the year goes on...lol...you have to love these beginning of the year meetings...all the parents in those tiny little chairs trying to control thier kids who have been running wild all summer...actualy the girls all huddled and giggled and the boys were the noisy ones. I was all smug because my daughter was fairly well behaved...i know i have a bunch of karma coming at me when my 2 boys start school..lol..i have found boys are a LOT different from girls...my boys destroy everything! The have broken almost every blind in my house...we just got them bunk beds because they destroyed their toddler beds..and they are still little! i cannot imagine what my house is going to look like when they are teenagers! well i better go get some stuff done...the house is not going to clean itself ( much to my dismay..lol )

what was he thinking?

I am married to a wonderful man. He is smart and funny and a wonderful father and husband...having said that i wonder how he would even get himself dressed in the mornings if left to his own devices! I seriously wonder how he kept a job before i came along. How can somebody who is so smart be so bloody stupid sometimes?

Last night for instance, i had left the food out for him from dinner ( he works late a lot and i feed the kids earlier to save me from going insane from their whining) He was puting away the leftovers ( bless his heart for trying) and was looking for the sandwich bags. I knew there was some in there since while i was making dinner i had grabbed one out of the box..it went like this

Hubby: where are the sandwich bags?

Me: bottom shelf on the right in the pantry!

Hubby: no they arent

Me: yeah they are...i just saw them there when i made dinner

Hubby: they are not there


so i get my lazy bum off the couch and go look in the pantry...sure enough i can't find any sandwich bags...now i KNOW i just saw them and it drives me nuts when i can't find things so i spend the next 10 minutes ripping apart my pantry looking for them...i come across an empty goldfish box so i go to throw it in the trash...sitting right on top is an empty sandwich bag box.

Me: hunny did you put this box in the trash ( i hold up offending box)

Hubby : yeah...i took the last one puting away the cheese.

I just stand there staring at him!

now i am thinking the better way to handle this would have been

a) tell me you used the last sandwich bag so i can put it on my list

b) or even better tell me and write it on the list yourself!

Am i the only one that would assume if i used the last of something and you have already looked that we have no more? Then again we are talking about a man who can't find anything even when it is right in front of him. It is not like i change where i keep things all the time just so he can't find them.

I love him dearly!!!

what to write

When i was signing up for this i had all kinds of ideas...as soon as i had the blank box in front of me my brain matched it...BLANK! lol

I guess i will start with a little about me...i am a 37 yr old stay at home mom with three kids..a nine year old girl and two boys that are four and three. I am from Canada but married a Yank and now live in Texas. I LOVE it here! He is a wonderful husband too. He is hindered by the fact that he is a man...but as far as men go he is pretty cool and i think i will keep him.

I was inspired to start a blog by an ebay auction description made by mom2my6pack. Now that gal really should write a book. Once i figure out what the heck i am doing here i will figure out how to check out her whole blog.

Like most moms i am waiting impatiently for school to start. My daughter takes such great pains to torment her much younger brothers it is much more calm when she is at school. She starts back on Monday so it is getting close. I have to go meet her teacher on Thursday. I am hoping that she gets a good one this year. Her teacher last year seemed nice..until at x-mas time my daughter came home and told me that her teacher was "terrified to go home to visit her parents for the holidays because they expected her to be perfect"....seriously...is this something you need to be sharing with your 3rd grade students? I was tempted to give her some money for x-mas and tell her to get some therapy...lol

well i will try to get some more on soon. Does anyone ever read anyone elses blog? or am i talking to myself as usual? lol

Cheers
