Nice Break

Well I got a nice break from the boys yesterday afternoon. Rachael took or should I say got coerced into taking Colby & Austin for the afternoon. They had a great afternoon of swimming and playing pool. I on the otherhand got a wonderful afternoon of peace and quiet. The little ones were all down for nap and I got sometime getting some cleaning done and just sometime with myself.

These times are rare and far between so I enjoyed the time. It may have only been for 4 hours but sometimes that is all you need.

I picked up the boys and then headed to Jeff's softball game at Derryfield. I always love going the boys amuse themselves and I just get to hang out with friends. Steph and Nancy met me their to pick up the twins and hang out for awhile. They have a way of making me laugh.

So all in all a pretty good day.

Summer is flying by

Wow I can't believe it is the middle almost end of July already. Where has the summer gone. Just give me more time, more time.

Well we went camping last weekend. Other than being a little muggy we had beautiful weather. We also went camping with some fun people which always makes the time a lot more enjoyable. We are planning to go again the first week in August. However, we will have to see about money.

We will have to see about money because abruptly Tuesday night I got a call from Heather saying that she was on maternity leave effective immediately so I would no longer have Kaleb any longer. I am saddened by this since I never even got to say good bye. Plus with no notice given to me I had to preparation in preparing for the financial loss weekly. The only good thing is I will no longer have to deal with the Heather and Shane. No animosity here.

Also managing to get over lovely posion ivy that my husband decided to not so nicely share with me. Ugh I have never had this before in my life and I don't ever want it again.

Okay well that's it for now.

What a weekend!!!

Wow what an incredible few days. Thursday I took Austin, Tyler, Brady, Rachael & Logan to the town pool. Colby sadly was unable to attend due to his behavior. So as Rachael can attest to he threw quite the crying hysterical fit. Oh well hopefully he learned a very valuable lesson.

Friday we attended the Wall family 4th of July extravaganza. What an incredible party and time. The kids as well as Jeff and I had a BLAST!!! They even lit off an amazing display of fireworks that I have seen. I also finally ordered some 4th of July scrapbooking items so I looked forward to all the photo opp's. Here are a few as mine are already out being developed.





Saturday we went down to Plymouth MA to my cousin Terry's for a lobster and clam bake. She lives about 3 miles from Cape Cod. Her house overlooks Cape Cod Bay. Yeah can we say gorgeous. We had an awesome time but whew what a ride 2 hrs one way. So we stopped at our friend Brian's on the way back to let the kids have a break and go swimming. Then we were almost home literally pulled onto our street and my dear child Austin who notoriously gets car sick throws up all over Colby and I mean all over his head. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! I emptied the car and Jeff took it too the car wash where he vacuumed, washed and fragrances the whole car.

Then on Sunday we got up and headed to Clough State Park. We had amazing weather and such a great time. We don't usually get family days like these often. We managed to soak up every available moment. However, my less than brilliant husband gave the woman a $20 to get in, it cost $10 and only got $2 change and didn't notice she shorted us $8 change until after we had left.








Well as you can see it has been a whirlwind of a few days but we have made some wonderful memories and I wish we could have more long weekends like this one. So awesome. Hope all of yours were equally as good.

Not a nerd are you?

UGGGHH!! You won't believe this one!!!

I am sitting here it is around 11pm and all of a sudden, I hear a noise and notice the bushes move outside. The cats have jumped a mile. I run to the window and their are 3 girls outside EGGING MY HOUSE!!! Now I had to have the windows replaced in November because they broke my windows doing this. My bedroom window was egged around aprilish. Now I am sitting right here and they are brazen enough to do it just about in front of me. The previous 2x's we believe we were not at home. I had the windows open and all the lights on. COME ON PEOPLE!!! They were wearing white hoodies.

So Jeff jumps out of bed as I yell for him and runs out the door in search of them. I call the police and have them come out. They take a report and without 100% positive ID they really couldn't do much. However, they did search about and promised to do repeated patrols up and down the street tonight. We went over to Mobil and they said 3 girls in sweartshirts came in about 10mins before my house was egged buying a dozen eggs. They have them on survaillence. So I call the police back and give them this information. However, they can't really do much because Mobil in technically in Manchester and out of their juristiction. Come on why does this juristiction thing always effect me when a crime occurs against me. Some of you may recall approx 8 1/2 yrs ago when we got scammed in the Machester appt. scandel. We also got screwed because of juristiction issues. We are about 90% postitive it is the two girls down the street.

Now I know this is really just teenage pranks but this is just not funny anymore and frankly I am pretty f*ckin pissed off about this. Jeff and I are intending to go speak to their parents tomorrow. I will update you all as to how this goes.

DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA!!! This is what my life consists of.

Nice but busy weekend

It was really such a nice weekend. The wedding was more fun then I had had in a long time. Your DJ really makes your wedding and I will tell you this lady was so funny. I had never laughed so hard.

Sunday I got to go out to breakfast with my mom. What a nice time, we rarely get time just the two of us and I really enjoyed the time. I only wish it could have been longer.

I then went to Canobie Lake Park for my Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day and kids had a great time. I met up with Rachael and her family their. It was nice although it is interesting as all the kids get older. They want to go off with their friends and parents aren't quite as needed. It is interesting trying to find your role in their lives as they begin to grow up and exert their independence. I realize how much older they are all getting and what great kids they really are becoming.

The day really wore them all out Brady fell asleep in the car and woke up at 8:30am the next morning, Austin fell asleep on the couch at about quarter of 7 and woke up for school the next morning. Guess they all had as busy of a weekend as I did.

Okay well day is in full swing so I will talk to you all later.

So irratated!!

Go to drop Colby off at baseball practice and I notice their are no kids from his team their. So we ask nope no more practices just games. Great was his idiotic coach going to e-mail us this? This was after racing to get him from band practice, rush home do homework and dinner and back out the door only to find out it was for nothing.

On a positive note. Colby has had two games so far and they have won both. Go Pizza Mia!!

Austin will have his first game this Saturday and sadly will miss it because I have a wedding to go to and he will be with Nana and Papa.

Sunday is Mother's Day and I am going to breakfast with mom and then picking up the boys and we are going to Canobie Lake Park for the day. We will be meeting up with Rachael and her family their.

We have Brady's birthday party next Saturday. Wow where did the time go!! I have yet to plan anything out. Next thing on the agenda to do.

Friday night is my brother's rehearsal dinner.

Then the following Saturday is my brother's wedding wow that came up amazingly fast. I can't wait because my sister Kim will be coming up with my brother in law and little nephew. I really miss them so can't wait.

So needless to say may not be around much in the next few weeks. Will try and stay in touch though.

Talk to you all later.
