Happy Labor Day!

I had a 4 day weekend and I needed it bad, not too excited about tomorrow though but hey, its only a 4 day work week!

Friday we took the kids to Indiana Beach (amusement park). They had a blast riding the rides and luckily it didn't rain! The way home wasn't so fun though, we were stuck in the same spot on the high way for 2 hours. There was an accident with a car on fire. So the normal 2 hour drive home took 4 hours instead with 2 kids who really weren't happy about it. UGH!

Saturday.. what did we do Saturday... oh yea, laundry. Loads and loads of laundry, that'll teach me to keep up on it. (yea right) 

Is that'll really not a word?! I swear it is, spell checker!

Sunday, Corbin stayed the night with his dad at his grandmas for the first time in a few years. He did fine thank God. So we decided to get a hotel room and take Layla swimming, she lovesss it. We hadn't been swimming at all this summer since Corbin is terrified of the water.

And today we, well I, did absolutely nothing!! Corbin was still with his grandma until 6pm and Jacob took Layla to a family picnic. I wasn't feeling that great so I stayed home and had the best nap ever! 

Pictures tomorrow! My camera battery died so I don't have many :( 

Hope everyone else had a good holiday weekend!

 

3 Days No Bloggin?!

Blogging from my phone, sorry for any weird formatting.

 

So I’ve been MIA for 3 whole days. Crazy! A little of what’s been going on.. we were planning to buy a house next summer because I do not like the school district we live in and Corbin will start kindergarten next year. We currently are renting the house I grew up in, from my mom. I was originally buying it from her but long story short, I’m not!

Well, a few days ago she called me saying she needs to move from where she is living like NOW. I have never wanted her where she is living, or with who she is living with. So within the next 2 weeks she will be moving in with us or my sister, most likely us. Her and 2 dogs, that’ll make it 5 people and 6 dogs living here.. not going to work for long. We are buying a house within the next couple months instead of next summer. I have been trying to research as much as I can, we have never bought a house and I want  it done right without any regrets. (I’ve bought a mobile home before but that didn’t require a bank or loan or anything)So the search is on, for our perfect house and it is hard!

I want this house to be one we will want to live in for hopefully the rest of our lives. There is one house I am in love with but not its location, it’s on a main street, and now I can’t get it out of my head! I NEED to find one like it somewhere else! For the next few weeks that’s what we’ll be doing, looking, looking, looking until we find the house we love.

 

Today is my meeting at work. Ugh.. really don’t want to go. It’s just awkward, I work from home and have changed units since being at home so a lot of people I don’t even know. Everyone else who always works in the office all know each other and have no idea who I am. I’m making Jacob drop me off because its downtown and the parking lot I used to park in we can’t use anymore. I hate parking garages and hate driving downtown. Reminds me of my first day all over again where I finally found what I thought was the parking garage, only it wasn’t. Then I had no idea where I was and was walking around downtown for 20 minutes before I finally found someone who told me I was 6 blocks away from where I was trying to go! I never tried parking there again.

Today is my Friday though and I have Monday off too! WHOOHOO!!

Goodbye Weekend

The Raspberry hair.. I think I'm glad we only did a little..so from the front its not even noticeable unless I want it to be.

 

 

(Had it curled earlier but I HATE hair spray so now its a mess) 

More pictures from the children's museum..

Ok, I have to stop! We took so many pictures, crazy amount of stuff they have. We'll be going back soon to see everything we didn't get to see on Saturday.

I am not ready for Monday at all! I have a short work week though, meeting on Thursday and off Friday. Plus, Jacob is only working 2 days this week so it'll be an easy week at least! Yay! :)

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

 

Children's Museum and Raspberry Hair

We took the kids to the children's museum today. Fun! Really, Indy has the largest children's museum and I had never taken the kids so we had to. Jacob and I hadn't even been since middle school. Sooo many pictures! I'll only post a few tonight :)

Bumblebee!

Had to even it out

My kinda hotwheel :)

Dinos trying to climb in!

Oh and I let Jacob bleach my hair underneath and dye it Raspberry red. Pictures tomorrow! The original plan was to just go a lighter brown all over instead of the dark dark brown/black that it is.. but.. I got this crazy idea. I like it I think, if it didn't require bleaching and me freaking out that my hair will fall out then I'd do all of my hair with it. 

I'm a WINNER!!

So I won a giveaway over at Shenanigans of a Southern Redhead! Whoohoo - How awesome is that?! Here soon I'll have a goodie from Bloomin' Idiot Designs. 

Who DOESN'T need a coozie for their red solo cup?!? :) Exciting stuff right there. Made my day! Go check them out. Thanks again Beth and Andra!

Pretty Sweet

Ive been in a really down mood the past week and trying to get out of this funk. Everything just adds up and isn't stopping. BUT this little bloggie of mine is my happy place and although I may blog sometimes about the real life not so happy times, I still want to keep this happy place! So.. tomorrow is happy time and I'll have my big girl panties on and ready :)

 

Penis at the Grocery Store..

Yeah, you read that right..

Nice little story for ya. I went grocery shopping, bought some strawberries - then I thought it'd be fun to make chocolate dipped strawberries so I grabbed the chocolate for it.. Tonight I decided to make these and when I grab the container of chocolate.. I see this.

 

What in the name of love is that!! It really shouldn't have been so funny but apparently I'm a tiny bit immature. could not stop laughing. But really,  who writes that on things at the grocery store?! 

For a minute I thought maybe I shouldn't make them. Only for a minute though.

 

Even made a chocolate covered banana in whoever wrote that's honor! ;)

uhhmm. so in other not.so.dirty news...

My dreams have been crushed. I work full time- x2, granted it is from home which makes people think oh whoopdy do. BUT it is for a very large company that can see when I step away for more than 5 minutes and I have production standards to meet. So for 8.5hrs a day I am sitting in front of a computer while also trying to take care of 2 little kids and 4 dogs. Crazy much?! Why yes, yes I am! The kids could of course go to daycare but I am not ready for my littlest to go (or to pay $2,000/month) and it is pointless to send one without the other. So.. my dream was to work part time, how awesome would that be?? Yeah, well its not going to happen! At least not any time in the near future. 

I could always just quit all together but I've become way too independent for that and I cant let that go. Been on the other end and never want to go back!  (nor do I think my boyfriend would appreciate that very much)

So crazy it is!! :)

Meet my littlest assistant! 

(back in the day before she turned crazy from it all too)

You see the itty bitty time in the center down there? (me neither) but that's all ME!! (I love it but I need it to expand, even just a little would be great!)

Haven't been feeling too good either so that doesn't help anything... and its now way past my bed time.

 

I Never Have Liked Motorcycles

The kidlets had fun at the party Saturday!

1 - It was my 12 year old nephews birthday party. They didn't order a cake so he chose this one. :)

2 - Layla & my niece (sort of), Noelle. (this baby girl has a heartbreaking story, maybe I'll share it someday)

3 - Corbin & my sister in law riding the go karts!

4 - I squatted down to take her picture so she thought she was supposed to do it too.

5 - Layla & her Daddy. (I don't think she knew what to think about it)

6 & 7 - Mini Bowling. soo cute.

It was a long weekend, not long enough but too much going on. Sunday my cousins boyfriend was in a serious motorcycle accident, the brakes locked up and he hit a tree so hard that the tree split. He is in ICU with several ribs shattered, head laceration, legs and arms stitched up, internal bleeding, brain swelling/bruising. They found out today he has a collapsed lung from being punctured by his ribs. He is able to talk now, thank God, but still needs lots of prayers for all the healing and surgery.

Ive always been afraid of riding motorcycles and this is exactly why. I actually really don't like even driving at all!
