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.

LONG TIME.....

OKAY its been a long time............ ROberto is gone now for 7 months....but its almost down to six already WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOO..... My birthday is coming up in about 34 days or so...then THanksgiving, kaias birthday, Ava's birthday then the holidays...... IF there is ever a good time for Rob to be deployed, this will be it... It should fly by these next couple of months.....i hope anyway...... so we got a dog...shes a weiner dog (i have always hated weiner dogs) but shes a spolied brat. her name is polly petunia pocket......shes kinda cute :) she wears a necklace with sequins and a flower and likes to be carried everywhere.....everything i dont need right now, but she kinda completes the family.... ummm i dont know what else is new.....ava has 4 teeth coming up on top, and she will probably be walking soon, Kaia is getting a little crazy and i think i t has something to do with rob being gone....but we are all doing great!!! JUst keeping as busy as possible....

judging a book by its cover

Why are we so quick to judge people by just looking at them? When you see a guy with baggy jeans, he must be a gang banger or a black guy with a nice car, must be a drug dealer- there is no way he could afford that legitimately. A spanish person must be in this country illegally. A fat woman that very well could have given birth to twins a few days prior. A young mother with no ring on her her finger.....maybe because her fingers are too swollen to wear a ring. Somebody who is rude, is automatically a bad person...maybe they just found out a loved one has died or maybe they have cancer. Somebody that is acting crazy at a bar and YOU are embarassed for them.....maybe they have alot of stress in their life and need to let loose once in a while. You see a dark skinned person, covered from head to toe in black, boarding a plane- that must mean they are terrorists. It is so ridiculous how fast we judge a book by its cover. People can be so stubborn sometimes. There is such a big world out there, i wish some people would realize this

Im such a mean person!

So softball started a few weeks ago. At last practice, there was a guy that wasnt the best at batting. He stood at the plate like a baseball player and struck about about 3 times. I saw him on Saturday night and told him he hit like a girl and didnt know how to swing a bat. All day Sunday, i thought about what i said and how rude that was. Rob said that i just say the things that are on my mind and thats a good thing....i dont see how that is a good thing.....sometimes i need to learn to keep my mouth shut if i am going to hurt someones feelings. errrrrr im such a horrible person!
