i hate the cold

soo it started getting cold here. The last few weeks have been in the 70's or 80's, now its like we are living in england again....cold, windy, cloudy, then rainy.....now im sick...and miserable. Im real tense, and every little thing kaia does makes me sooooo mad. And the sad part is, shes been real sweet. poor kaia.

You know how i roll, when it gets cold, i dye my hair dark....so there it is, pay no attention to my no-maked-up face, just loook at the dark depressing hair.... We went to Busch Gardens again last weekend, it was the last day they were open until spring. Fun fun.....kaia did gymnastics, the one pic is her on the bars, she did soooooo good....ava just wasnt having sitting there for an hour.....so we are gonna figure something out. Kaia will be starting gymnastics soon.....pretty exciting. im just being a miserable pessimistic person right now. In a few days i will be happy!!! thats about it.

My brain is sauteing...my new phrase

Going a little crazy here. The kids have been great! But me not having any break is getting to me. I'm looking into daycare for the girls for a couple hours a week. I am interviewing 2 ladies tomorrow. Rob is nagging me subliminally that he wants another care package soon. I cant really haul in a couple boxes and 2 kids into the post office, unless someone is with me or the kids aren't there. My to-do list keeps getting bigger and bigger. When i scratch one thing off my list there are 5 more things that i write down. Kaia starts gymnastics on Friday..well its a trial run to see if she likes it. I am also doing her b-day party there this year. They have a 16,000 square foot gym full of mats and trampolines and lots of foam pits to flip into...i think i am going to have more fun than the kids : ) Mondays are normally shopping days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we walk around Mt Trashmore. Thursday night, i have a bunch of girls come over to eat dinner and watch Grey's Anatomy. Fridays are normally pretty busy, this Saturday we are going to Busch Gardens. We went last Sunday too. That's where the pics are from. When I'm stuck in the house, I complain that I'm bored. When i am running around all week, I complain that we are too busy. Is there a happy medium?

I hate monotony. Schedules make me cringe. I like to be a little spontaneous and do things we wouldn't normally do.

I just have like 20,000 little thoughts in my head at one time. My brain is slowly frying...kinda sauteing haha!!! It will all get better. I always tell people to shut up when they complain about dumb things...I'm sure that is what I'm doing right now. Its just super hard to do alone..kudos to all those single mothers out there and the women who man a household while their husband is deployed.... craziness!!!! Time to give baths!! Maybe tonight I can watch the shows I have been DVRing for the last 6 weeks :)

bunch o stuff

So politics is a sore subject : ) I will just stick with the family.... I took the girls to the real pumpkin patch on Sunday. They had a blast! There was a gigantic pile of hay..well like a mountain of hay...kaia had soooo much fun burying herself, she didnt even want to leave to go on the hayride. I love good wholesome family fun!!!! Well minus one : ( Our phone bill was 245 dollars from rob calling on the cell phone so i told him to keep the phone calls to about 3 minutes a piece when he pulls into port next time.... sad but we cant afford that every month or so!!!

Ava has 3 teeth up top now. poor thing is suffering. I also forgot to put the gate up and she was hanging out in her room upstairs. Im glad i went up there, it would be a long fall down the stairs.... so now the gate is ALWAYS up.

Getting excited for halloween..it is my fav holiday of course b/c its my b-day. And its on a friday night!!! wooo hoooo

We are going to start walking around "mt trashmore" on tuesdays and thursdays with my sisters and ex stepmom..(haha thats funny.) Im sure you dont know what mt trashmore is....when my mom was growing up, there was a landfill. The city got a a bright idea to make it a big park so they covered the trash with grass and made a huge mountain..it sounds gross but its a cool place. Lots of parks and big lake....fun to fly kites on windy days on top of the mountain.. When it used to snow, my mom would take me and we would "fly" down the mountain on pool floats.....they banned it now of course b/c people would sled right into the lake....but man that was soooooo much fun. anywhoooo time for kiddie baths! just wanted to write a bit!!!

lots......

So we have stayed pretty busy and 1 month has already gone by!! 6 more to go!!! Yesterday, the girls and I went to the zoo.. they had a blast. well kaia did!! Ava laughed at the goats a couple times and she was happy when we went to the restaurant to eat pizza...piggy...speaking of piggy, i found kaias halloween costume from 2 years ago so im thinking that is what ava is gonna be this year. Kaia picked out a pumpkin fairy costume..i guess you can throw wings on anything and make it a fairy...anyway its super cute!!! SOOO ava decided to climb up my moms stairs this morning....ALL THE WAY!!!! So its time to keep the gate up at my house. Polly is GONE!!!! i am too anal about a clean house to have her peeing and pooping all over the house. I only have 2 eyes and i normally have one on kaia and one on ava. Im really not too sad about it either. I knew i should have listened to everyone, she was not what we needed right now.... she is in a good home now though !! One of avas teeth up top popped out...3 more to go, they should be out in the next couple of days. We are going to the pumpkin patch tonight....well the housing "pumpkin patch" so we will see how that goes. I think I am going to take them to the real one sometime this week.

Last weekend I went to see the Chiefs get murdered by the panthers.....It was my first NFL experience and WILL NOT be my last... I had a blast..... My dad called me on Friday and asked if i wanted to go with him since he had an extra ticket...i told him probably not...i was sure my mom wouldnt watch the kids so i told him to call her and ask her....he called back and was like "YOU'RE IN" hahahaha anyway Tony Gonzalez nodded his head at me...he was on the bus and i was on the street, i was like ohhhh myyyy gosshhhhh dad thats tony!!! and he looked at me and nodded his head....AHHHHHHHH crazy!! it was awesome!!

Lets see what else?? like I said we have been busy...We hang out with our neighbors alot...they are really cool and the guy is just like rob, they have THE SAME cockiness....its kinda like rob never left..hahahaha They are like the same people....its kinda weird....but yeah they have a 5 year old and a 3 year old...kaia LOVES them....its nice for her to actually have some friends....poor thing has been deprived....and all my friends kids are little brats..i dont want to even get into that....okay i need to stop writing. We have to go to the commissary then to the pumpkin patch..... busy busy busy

politics....so confusing.....

So, everyone is entitled to an opinion. First off, let me say that all politicians are liars and cheaters. They probably tell the truth 40 percent of time if that. I may be naive when it comes to politics as I am just now getting into it after what has happened in the last few years. I dont even know if I am going to vote. Our country is so deep right now....im not sure either one is right for the job....

John McCain is against abortion, yet he has never supported any legislation that would prevent unintended pregnancy which would reduce the need for abortion. He opposed legislation that would teach students about abstinence. With a world full of idiots, you would think they would want to teach people about sexual education....it would scare half the high school kids away from sex if they could be a little more graphic......

Obama has no experience......Palin has no experience.....And im sure she will be the next president when McCain dies.....hes pretty close to 100 years old hahhhaha..... I would totally rather have Obama president than Palin. TOTALLY....

Our country is founded on religious freedom - it doesn't specify that freedom is for only specific, popular religions, but rather ALL of them. We, as a country of voters, should be paying attention to what our next president is going to do about education, health care, social security, and getting our troops home, and the environment....

I dontknow how each candidate stands on every issue. Once I research it, i will figure it out. Im pretty open minded and whichever candidate strikes my fancy will be the one I vote for. Its thats easy.
