Losing stuff

Gah! We are all the time losing stuff. It isn't so much me losing stuff as my husband and kids losing stuff, it being my fault, and me having to find said lost things. This morning, husband dawdled and would not wake up. He finally does, 10 minutes before time to leave for work. Now, this is normally OK, but today, he could not find the car keys. Here is our convo, as I am wresting a toddler to get a clean diaper on. him: where'd you put the keys last night? me: *stop wiggling Bradley* you unlocked the door, not me him: no, I didn't... wait, yes I did, but I gave you the keys me:*Bradley, stop it, it will fall off if you keep that up* No you did not. They were on the dresser until you started playing Resident Evil, and then they were gone. him: ok, what did you do with them then?? me:*all done Bradley, go lay down* Nothing, I was cooking and filling out my school app. him: oh well, I'll drive the truck, you find the keys, ok? by the way, you had them, and you lost them. me and him: various yelling not fit for Bimbo he stomps out. I tear up the house for 20 minutes until almost 6am (oh yea, is early here, I am not amused) and FINALLY find the STUPID keys AND the can opener he could not find last night after playing with it the day before, in a laundry basket, under clothes. Mind you, he had just dug through the basket since I had not yet put the clothes in the dressers looking for socks. So he had his hands on the keys... So, we go through this process at least twice a week. And my older 2 kids are gone this week, but they do this EVERY day with me. It is always my fault that things are lost and I have to find them.

Hotness

It is soooooooooo hot in my house right now. Making spaghetti and garlic bread, so the oven is on and baking not just the bread! Robert took the kids to the lake to get them out of my hair and to spend some Father/Daughter/oldest son time together. He, of course, never takes Bradley, which is beginning to PISS me off, but oh well.
Speaking of Bradley, he is such a butt head. Soaking kittens, almost killing them, making mess after mess, after mess. Oh, and tantrums. Boy can he throw a fit. As of right now I have him in his room chilling out so dinner could be finished and the living room cleaned of the cat food he had slung all over. Not letting him out til Robert gets home and can help me out.
Waiting on 9pm so I can watch True Blood. Doing a paper. And being annoyed out of my head by someone.

See? I came back!

Been a long few days.
The power was out most of today, a truck hit an electric pole, knocked the power and cable out. It was soooooooo hot. We went to the stores to cool off. Went to a thrift store, got Nikki some shorts and Robert some cute shirts. Then to Wal-Mart. Got some cleaning supplies, Robert some shorts, Bradley a new outfit. Oh, and the Twilight board game. Also had to get some kitten food, cats are eating like pigs.
An odd/sad event occurred in Wal-Mart... Nikki is 8 years old, but she can fit size 1-3 in miss/junior clothes. The shorts would be soooooooo short on older girls, but go to her knees, and the capris are like long pants on her. Just was odd, but made me sad realizing she is growing up.
Bryan's kindergarten school list arrived Friday. He has a large list, so glad we have it now and can buy here and there all summer. I have 3 kids to buy school clothes for this year. Nikki is going to get 5 new outfits, as are the boys. The boys have tons of clothes. Nikki has been growing out of everything, she is 49 inches tall. 13 inches shorter than me!
We brought Cotton's sister in. She is yeloowy-orange colored, so we named her Sunny. The third kitten found a home. Smudge is getting lovey, which is a sign of impending labor. Peanut is in hog heaven with babies in the house again for her to look after. And Snuffy is just happy that he can jump from the ottoman to the bed since we put him on weight control dog food.
Big day of cleaning tomorrow. A friend is coming to visit from Texas on Monday! Can't wait to meet you Jen!

Ah, homework is done

I'm working on my bedtime. I have become such a night owl that my home is neglected and I feel awful all the time. Here it is after 2am and I am awake and still up puttering around the house. I did accomplish something... I got homework done. I don't know what I will do when I am taking 4 classes in September. Go insane or fail are my 2 guesses!
Robert and I got into a fight. He was watching a movie and I fell asleep. The kids were still up. So, he woke me up yelling at me to put the kids to bed and to do my homework. I felt bad, but I yelled back that he could help get them to bed. We both got them to bed. Bryan is still awake, the lil butt head, he has so much trouble FALLING asleep. Bradley has trouble staying asleep. Nikki just sleeps.
They are being awful with the not listening to me crap they are pulling. I am going to pull the carpet up in the boys' room this weekend. My dog Peanut seems to think it is a good spot to pee. Which means stinky carpet. I have cleaned and cleaned it to no avail. So, the carpet comes up this weekend and next week sometime we will put linoleum down. Easier to clean.

Long time no update

I solemnly swear to update at least twice a week.

Where to start?
Well, kids are out of school for summer which means I'm out of my mind for summer... All they do is make messes man. Nikki was tested to see if she had any disabilities before school let out, she does not, but she has to have intervention next school year for her reading and some math. Bryan is all registered for kindergarten. And is sooooo ready. Bradley is all registered for Head Start, just have to get him potty trained before August. Which he goes potty 10% of the time right now.
Robert is working hard, 10 hour days this week. Work is picking up and they expanded, so yay for that.
I'm still in school. Hating my history class right now. With a passion. Oh well. I just gotta get it to an A or I will screw my GPA. I like my nutrition class. Very cool. 4 weeks left of these classes.
Oh, and if you read this, you know how big a fan I am of the website Miss Bimbo... Well, they honored me by letting me moderate the site. Over a million users!! I work with an awesome team, the users are amazing. It is hard work, but is very rewarding when I can help someone or stop someone from being rude or mean.

Busy again, as usual

It was nice on Monday, but Tuesday and today have been cold!!! I miss the 70s!
With this stupid changeable Ohio weather comes sick kids. Bryan has a runny nose and cough. Bradley has croup again. No fun.
I had to read 8 short stories this week for class. That was fun. And a bunch for psych class. More fun.
