My little Diet Coke Monster!

Okay so on Thursdays we can make up an hour in our class or get ahead an hour, whichever you need. (I need extra since we are going to Orlando). We are not allowed to eat while we work or observe. We can however drink. I thought to myself "self bring a Diet Coke and you can drink that while you observe today". Now those of you who know me I do not carry cash ever. I take my Diet Coke, write my name on the side in permanent marker put it in the school fridge and go to class. Then at lunch I went to get my coke out of the fridge and low and behold it is gone. I ask you W.T.H!!!!!! Now I don't have a coke, no money to buy a coke and the little monster is coming out to say something I will probably regret.

I went into the salon to observe and of course my face tells everything, where is your coke Katie? So I start on a 5 minute rampage of who steals 1 can of coke. I am so angry my fists are shaking and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. I know it isn't anyone from our class, because they were all with me. But we do share the building and breakroom with the juniors, seniors, and massage therapists. I am just so angry that I can't get anything that I want to explode. Luckily a girlfriend had heard about it and brought me a Coke from McDonalds so I was okay. So now I had a coke, and needed to repay someone the next day.

My feelings are this, If you need a diet coke, bring one. If you don't have one borrow a dollar. If you would like a diet coke, have no money and have to much pride to ask for a dollar, then suck it up! Do not steal someone elses and put them in the worst mood ever! I am getting over it now and I will not put another Diet coke in the fridge unless it is in my lunch bag, but I had to get that horrible day off my chest. Thank you to Tierra for thinking of my monster on Thursday!

Trip to Elizabethtown KY

So this past weekend we went up to Ky. Brent's brother Mark got tickets to the Rider cup(this is an annual golf tournament that moves every year and it is really popular). Brents brother Bryon came all the way from Hawaii to go to this thing too. Another reason we went up to KY was for Grandma Rosie and Grandad and Hailey's birthday. Now my kids haven't seen cousins for a couple of months so this was a big deal. Abbey, Sarah and Rachel all get along so fantastically and they were so happy to see each other.

The Golf outing..

So the boys went golfing on Friday grandad, and all four brothers and Nates friend Aaron ( i swear he is a nathan clone!) they were having a good time when of course Brent got up to tee off.......

Okay so Nate and Aaron were down the course a bit, Bryon and James were about 20 feet in front of Brent on the side, and Mark was behind Brent (where he should have been). Brent goes to swing, hits the ball and hits a line drive into Bryons arm!! Yes in his arm just above the elbow. If he would have been an inch lower he would have broke the elbow. Now from Nates point of view "I saw Brent hit the ball and Dad double over, I thought Brent hit Dad".

Dad says "When I saw that Bryon was okay I doubled over with laughter"
Bryon says "I am just glad you didn't break it"
Mark says "It's my weekend off so stop hitting people with balls Brent"

All in all they had a great time and Brent will not live this one down for awhile.

Rider cup...

They all had a great time and the golfing was awesome. I really don't know alot of what happend but Brent was glad to spend time with his brothers and dad for a couple of days. I got to hang with Rosie, Maria, Amy, and Maria's mom Dolores. I had so much fun giving manicures, and just catching up with how everyone was doing. It was like we were all back in Rosie's house on a Saturday afternoon just hanging. I was in need of some family time and this was perfect!


So now the horror story of KY.......!!!@@@%$^$%$

Sarah (M&M's daughter) has a friend that lives next door. His name is Collin. Now his mom's name is Dawn, but the previous owner of the house is Terri and my kids adore her. Collin has a pool. My kids wanted to go swimming. They asked and I said no it is getting to late in the season, and we didn't bring any swimsuits. Abbey asked me 4 times if she could go swimming. After the 4th time I told her if she asked again she was in the house the rest of the time we were in KY. The mommies were in the living room and my mommy radar went off. I went outside to check on the kids and low and behold, Hunter is drenched, Caroline is naked, and Abbey is getting ready to get into the pool. DId I not just say no? After a good spanking outside with no parents around might I add (even the owner) They were guided to the basement where they spent the rest of the afternoon in a corner, cleaning up toys, and not playing with cousins the rest of the day. It is so hard to dicipline when you are not at your own house so we told them we would be revisiting this issue when we got home.

Update: they were so grounded until today and I mean no nothing at all fun. toys, video games, movies, tv you name it banned until today. they have been very sorry and after a long talk about how they could have died. a light seemed to click. so that was the bad part of the trip but everything else was absolutely perfect

So my challenge is on to Amy, Nate, Carey, Cristy, and Amanda to get your 36 things up on your blog too.

7 or 15 who knew?!

So today started off with a bang and just because now it is over I can actually blog about it. Those of you who do not find this funny can just not comment.

Okay so Brent or myself will take the kids out to the bus every morning for school. They get to bring a snack and a water bottle if they want to. So I notice that Abbey has her water bottle not in her backpack and I tell her I will put it in her bag and turn around. THis was followed with a "no thats okay I will hold it" my mommy ears get perked and I ask "whats in your backpack ab?" she says "nothing" and I say "turn around abbey"

Low and behold there is a whole wardrobe in the bag. My first instict is
"is she trying to run away" of course you would think that.

No she just didn't like what she was wearing to school and wanted to change on the bus. She even brought a jacket so the other two kids could hold it up as a shield for her. Now I was mad but I also thought it was incredibly funny too. I would like to think I handled the situation well it is as follows

"Abbey why dont you like your clothes today?
"I dont know but I wanted more options
"But you picked out your clothes that you are wearing
"I know mom but I just wanted to dress up like a kitty today and I need to wear all one color
"Abbey do you not realize why you cant be naked on the bus?
"no
"okay 3 things 1. mom said no 2. mom and dad could get into trouble for letting you be naked on the bus, and the bus driver could get in trouble too. 3. What if someone wanted to touch you in your private area. that is not good at all.

The wheels started turning and she started to be very sad that she had disappointed me and brent. Needless to say I thought I had a 7 year old but apparently I have a 15 year old instead. Sneaking clothes to change into when your mom wasnt there and then changing back before you get home (comeon you know you did it too) but seriously this is something Pennie should be dealing with not me!

Wow needless to say that was the morning and this afternoon. But rest assured she was grounded the whole day, had to talk with dad and mom, and hopefully she has learned her lesson.

The Dolphins.

Okay so on a good note, we got a phone call on Wed night from Brother Smith in the branch. He asked if we had ever thought about putting Tip into football. We said yes but Hunter is a little to nice for football. Brother Smith said that he could come to a practice and see if Hunter wanted to try to play. Brent took him on Thursday and he had a blast! He didn't mind falling down and he loved being able to push people over and not get into trouble! We signed him up and he had his first game this morning.

Our little dolphin has the biggest helmet they make, a complete pad outfit (including the jock strap) now try to explain that to a 6 year old.
Brent actually did a great job with that one.
He put it on Tip and flicked it! Hunter laughed so hard it was making me cry. Then he took it off him and asked Tip if he could flick it again. This was followed by a hold of the crotch and a no way dad. So the strap stays.
He had a great time this morning. His team only has 13 people on it and you need 11 to play, needless to say Tip saw a lot of playing time. He is a natural and his coach said so too. Well what should we expect? His dad played and had the biggest head too. He unlike his father does not have a huge Orange sticker on the helmet (that means you can't carry the ball cause you are to big) and he loves the game and the kids. His cheeks I have to say are so adorable in the helmet that I could eat them. I know I am a bit biased but he looks the cutest of all the kids on the team.

Gustav

Okay so we made it through gustav with no problems. we took the kids to the beach to see the big waves and took some pics. We called Pennie and Mom and they both thought we were crazy to take the kids out but it really wasn't horrible outside (mom even called me an idiot!) but all in all we are fine.
Thank you everyone who called to make sure we were okay.

Ike
Now this one has got Brent a little worried (although he won't admit worried, but for lack of a better word worried) the path looks like it could come right up here. So we will know by Monday if we will be getting some boards out of the attic. I think if they make us evacuate, brent will get his workers settled then I will make him leave with me and the kids up to KY but if not we will stay holed up here. I have to say I am a bit concerned with this storm so we will let you know what we decide.
