re: Super Secret Chat

Lol...I went in Gabes room and he was sitting on his bed with his puter...so cute. My aunt got him a little school desk that she painted (my mom is picking it up today). I cant wait till I can sit him at his desk with his puter...lol

Yeah she went to the same school...she went LVN first and then went back RN...so she will have some of the books. Yeah anything helps. That was one of the reasons I decided on CC. It will be so much cheaper....plus she is suppose to get me some uniforms too.

No! Ant can learn TX History!! It is so easy! Definately move down here and make more money have cool friends like us!...lol
I dont see us moving from here...there is a Federal Prison in Seagulville..near dallas...but only about 10miles further than he drives now. Plus they start out making more than he makes now. IDK he was just talking about it last night.

Oh our 5year anniversary is 8/16....we do so much a like sue...lol

I know, that's why we're twinkies... speaking of twinkies, look at my boys:



I thought it was cool that I have pics of them doing the same thing 2 years apart.
That'd be so weird if we ever moved to TX. I always thought I'd dislike Texans and Texas but really I like the state and the people.   The only ones I don't like are the ones that drive through Roswell and are so rude on their way to Ruidoso to gamble. Those are usually the rich flashy Texans. LOL
Hey what are your plans for mother's day? Last year we went to the park/zoo and had a picnic lunch. I want to do that again. I remember I was about to pop last year at this time. It's crazy how fast time goes!

OMG! I really am not sure who is who...the first is Ryan?
Very cute! They do look a lot alike!
I think we have the same baby beds...does it convert?

Texans are awesome...lol
I think that you never really like people from another state in your state. I know I feel that way about people from different states sometimes.
I think we are friendly...like when I go check out at a store me and the checker both say Thanks have a nice day!...and usually make small talk while standing there....but when I went to CO I was the only one who said it...and they just kinda looked at me all weird....lol

Yes!!!! My friend and I went to another friends wedding in Austin and we were so surpised with how friendly everyone is there! Random people were making conversations with us at stores and stuff. We loved that and still talk about it. LOL I like Texans.  
Yes, Ryan is the one on the top. They do resemble each other quite a bit. And we probably do have the same beds because ours does convert. It's made by Simplicity and we got it at WalMart. It's been good to us.. made it through 2 rambunxious kids. haha. Hey we're selling a lot of baby stuff at the garage sale. We have the Rainforest Swing (it's battery or electric operated) and it's still practically brand new. How much do you think we should sell it for? It was like $129 regular price. I hate selling it in a garage sale but Roswell is too small for craigslist and we don't have a kids consignment shop. I was thinking like maybe $40. Is that too high/low?

Lol...I know you cant walk through walmart without having a conversation with someone.
I think I am to shy to be a Texan...lol...I was born in OK.

Yeah we have the same bed then.

I would say somewhere between $40-$60...thats just me though...if its been through both kids then i would say on the lower side I guess. I'm not very good with that stuff though. I havent even been to a garage sale in forever...its hard to go with two kids.

Wow...I have three graduations to go to this year...my SIL's friday, then Norman's oldest Nephew is graduating and my little cousin. Time to go shopping!...lol Maybe it will be warm and I can wear my new summer dress since its early in the day.

Have you still not worn your new dress? I want to see pics of it. I just went shopping again at Rue21 and I got me 3 new skirts that are so pretty. They were only $8 each.  
I think I'll price the swing for $40. It was only used for a few months by Izzy. I dont think anyone would spend more hten $40 for it though because Roswell peeps are cheap. LOL *that explains why I like $8 skirts and $0.50 make up. Haha
Eek, I almost forgot about all the graduates this year. That's one of hte major downfalls of being a teacher. Anthony gets swarmed with announcements at the end of each year. I usually just buy each senior that gives him an announcement 4 towels from JC Penney. They're always on sale so I can get each kid kicked out for about $12 each. We also have Ant's step sister graduating from high school this year. I'm guessing we'll give her money. I think that's all we have this year.

That makes me want to go to Rue21!!

No I still havent worn my dress yet! Its been cold and windy and rainy...you should have seen how cold it was at Gabe's party!
Plus I feel kinda weird wearing girlie things around Norman's family...they arent the girlie girl type..to say the least. But his sis is wearing a dress to her graduation so maybe I could get away with it too!

Wow that has to suck buying all those graduation presents! I never know what to get people...both mine cousin and norman's nephew are joining the military,...so I guess tthe only thing for them is money.

Norman's sister will be the first one in his family to graduate from college. And she dropped out of highschool in 10th grade...she had to go back and get her GED and stuff...so thats pretty cool.
Norman was the only one to graduate from High School. We're all proud  ...lol

LOL you're so funny Ciara! You make me laugh. That is really cool though about Norman's sister. Why did she drop out of school in the first place. I bet the odds are really slim that someone like her would go back to get her GED and then go on to college. That's something to be proud of. Aww.. I like that song by Montgomery Gentry. ;)
I think you should wear that dress to graduation. Hopefully the weather will be nice. When is the graduation? This weekend?
What are you making for dinner? I don't feel like cooking at all. I've cooked too much lately. haha Last night I made steak fajitas. They were so good. I may stop and pick something up on my way home. I've been in a major funk all day long.
Okay so Anthony has been carpooling with a couple other teachers these last few weeks since he's through with athletics. This is his week to drive. Well tomorrow they have a faculty meeting at 7 so he's going to have to leave the house at 5:50 in order to pick everyone up and get to school on time. That means I need to wake up super early in order to be ready by the time he leaves. Tomorrow is going to suck! I hope I get to bed early tonight. I know me though, I'm sure I'll be up til at least 10 or 11.

HI girls!

So guess what! My parents just called me. They are in Branson and are going to come visit us on Thursday afternoon. Stay thru to Sat. I am sooo excited but I have soo much to do.

That's great Christy. Aren't you going to be visiting them on Monday? How fun. I'm off to bed!

Yes Sue! Lol... My mom doesn't know still. Lol.

So I have to go to the doc today for me. I think I have Strep. My throat is killing, my ear hurts, runny nose. I have all those little bumps on my throat so I am sure its prob strep. Wish me luck .

Everytime I go to write to you guys one of my kids starts screaming at me...or decides to climb all over me, making it impossible to type!

I need a babysitter...for about 30mins at least. 

Anyway!!...
Sue Norman's two older sisters dropped out before highschool...they were wild and both got pregnant at pretty young ages...one got married at 15.
His sister that is graduating moved from CO to TX and I think she was suppose to be a senior in hs but for some reason they wouldnt accept a lot of her credits from CO so she was going to have to start all over...so she dropped out.
His brother dropped out too.

How was it getting up extra early this morning? That sux. I wish Norman could car pool though...I bet that saves on gas.

I dont know what we are doing today...but I want to get out of this house....
I wish I could get a sitter for the day!!

Christy I hope you get to feeling better...I hope its not strep that would suck for Kaden to catch...

Hey hey hey! I'm so damn sleepy. LOL, so I woke up at 5 am and I made it to work on time.   It wasn't so bad because I went to bed early but I kept waking up every few hours. Do you guys ever do that? If you know you have to do something important in the morning you can't sleep well?
Ciara I'm sorry your kiddos keep attacking you! Why don't you take them to your moms for a few hours. To be honest with you, it sounds awful, but I don't know if I could handle being a SAHM 24/7. I think we all need at least 30 minutes or an hour to ourselves each day. I don't know how you girls can do it constantly without breaking.
Yeah carpooling is saving us majorly these last few weeks of school. It worked out where he only has to drive one week out of the remaining 5. So not driving 4 weeks will save him about $400. It would be nice if he didn't have sports and could car pool all year long.
What are you doing today? I'm just working working working. Okay not really, mostly just being bored.  

Hola!

No strep for me! Wohoo! Today is going to be a good day just after hearing that.

Ciara- That sucks. I can't imagine having 2 crawling all over me or needing my undivided attention.

Sue- I sleep like that all the time. Like ever 2 hours your waking up to see if its actually time to get up. Its like Christmas when your a little kid. Lol. By the way who was your rant about?

I'm not up to much today. Just getting things around here ready for my family to come in and spending some time with my baby before I start working.

Yeah Sue I do that to..waking up every few hours whenI know I have to get up early or something. And then I usually wind up getting up about 30mins before the alarm goes off.
And I dont think not wanting to be a sahm sounds bad at all...I cant wait till I start working. I'm just not very good at being a sahm. I feel like if I could get a break once in a while (more than just 2hours for classes) then I think I would do more around the house, I mean because I'm stuck here all the time with kids climbing on me I just kinda give up and let it get messy...if that makes any sense. When I start nursing school I wont be around as much.

I wish I could take them to my moms or Norman's sisters...but everyone is busy. I know are in desperate need of date night...or a day to stay home and stay in bed all day!...that would be nice.
We went and resold our books from the semester and then went to the outlet mall. But we really didnt get anything because Gabe was being super pissy.
Norman got some clothes...why are mens clothes so much more expensive than womens? I just noticed that!

I wish I could find someone to carpool with to Kaufman when school starts...maybe I will be able to find someone during the next orientation.

Christina I forgot you start working really soon...I bet you will be glad to start bringing in money.
