Eyes

SEVEN days from now i'll be free from my glasses!! Lasik surgery HERE I COME!! Went for my pre-op today. Had to get my eyes dilated 3 times what they normally would do. It was horrible. I had to wear those sexy glasses thingys and then drive back to work. Once at work and looking at my computer my eyes told me i was drunk but my brain said nope!! I couldn't do it. Everything was just a blur. So i left early. Actually driving wasn't to bad with my sunglass thingys.
Shocked the babysitter by being home 3 1/2 hrs early. Yesterday Jeff walked in the house and she was in the bathroom with the door open LOL!!!!! Jeff was in front of the door when she said 'ah, i'm in the bathroom and the door is NOT shut' Jeff was WAY more embarrased then she was. When you walk in from the garage you see the mirror in the bathroom which shows everything. Still getting a good ol' chuckle out of that one!
C got to swim this afternoon in the swimming pool. Mom and dad bought us a new one b/c we thought our old one was broke. It wasn't we just didn't have the right air plugs in. So now we have TWO b/c we didn't figure that out till AFTER we opened the new one. It's not inflated yet so maybe I can squeze it back in the box?? Yeah RIGHT:)

Kids are upstairs. C is learning to go to sleep with NO BINKY!! Last nite he kepts saying 'binky. binky' and i was like HERE!! Now tonite he's not asking for it, just wants his daddy. But all is quite now. @ 15 min of crying he did, or whining.

Our 'farm' not our house but the actual farm place/home place is being over ran by skunks. Well guess WHAT BOJI got sprayed!! A momma skunk and 4 little ones were somewhere and boji found them. Jeff said the momma ran boji down. It's not HORRIBLE but i have given him one bath (outside in the doggy pool) with Plumeria bubble bath. One hot smellin dog he is!!

C is whimpering again....if i go up there i know i'll cave and give him a binky....hohum... I think he's getting out of his crib. Time to go see what's going on...that noise didn't sound good!

More vidoe of Parade

Parade

Parade Time

We were in our first parade today!! The town near us was having a 125th celebration and C, DH and I were in the parade. What with you ask?? MY PURSES!! I was a BAG LADY. Daddy and C drove a lawnmower. NO purses attached to him. It was hotter then....well you know what. My gosh pushing that cart filled with purses was no easy task and i bet the parade was over 1 1/2 miles long. People were great. They loved my 'bag lady' idea, oh I didn't mention that I borrowed a grocery cart:) Many people took pictures of me and then of DH and C. C had much fun throwing canie...i know, CANDY but he calls it 'fro canie' although he never did get it down to throw it to the people, not before or after we went by them. Then he'd shake his bag wanting more...mo...mo he'd sign to us. He did wave to people and i'll try to attach a short clip of that.

Miss A was with her Godmother enjoying the parade from the shade of some great trees. She was happy to see us when we went by. I had this fear that'd we walk down the street knowing knowone and everyone would be like...oh...BORING...but they weren't and i knew many people. Especially the guy that said 'Hi RACHEL..' I was like do i know you? He said yeah you do...come to find out he was doing that to everyone and then i remembered i had my name on the cart. Dah...good one buddy!!

After i mustered enough energy to pry myself off the ground from the heat exhausion i took the lawnmower and cart to the park where i sold purses out of the cart!! Great idea eh?? It was...i sold @ 15 at least. Not to mention all the business cards i have floating around out there. What a great publicity this was and it didn't cost me anything to be in the parade. The lawn mower was provided by an implement dealer in the area that DH's friend works at. They even supplied candy. Chocolate...BAD IDEA On a 90 degree day, in the shade. Luckly they froze it prior.

This evening we went back to the town and ate and then they had a petting zoo. G'pa and G'ma L were with us. The petting zoo had every of goat. C kept calling them sheep and saying 'aww...that cute' he was having a blast till he got bucked up the nose with an antler!! My poor baby. His nose even bleed. Then it was time to go. I think what happened is he was going down as the goat was coming up. I found a gouch on his head too during bath time. But not much blood. Oh and one of the animals chewed on Miss A's sandal thru the gates. She liked that. and she was happy too till one nibbled on her hands. That ended her visit at the zoo.

Tomorrow we're heading up to my parents for the day. Will try and make it up in time for church! That's @ 930. It'll be interesting if we can do it.

Father's Day tomorrow!! happy dad's day to all!!

Did i mention how hot it was ?? Oh yeah i did. Just wanted to make sure i didn't for get that. LOL

Farm house is quite

Kids are sleeping, dogs aren't here and it's peaceful in the house. I was home from work today because our sitter couldn't babysite today. I tried till 1015 last nite trying to call our other sitter and got no answer. DH is busy mowing so he can bale. He promises after this he'll be around more. I'm not sure if that's good or not hahaha.

So i'm really struggling right now with what to do about work. I really want to stay home but then i have a day like today and it's like AM I SURE I want to stay home?? Miss A is SUCH a fuss bucket. She did sleep all afternoon and C to a nice long nap too. THANK HEAVEN for NAPS!! But then I got called by work about issues and I sat and instant messaged the supervisor in tears b/c i was so frustrated that things have to go wrong when i'm gone and that i'm sure will have a 'talk' tomorrow. Nothing i can really do about issues that come up like they did today. I really need everyone else to step up to the place instead of calling me. I will put down a hr of working for today. I have set my resignation point and when one or both are reached I will resign. Can't stand the word 'quit' b/c i am SO NOT a quitter.

Quitter...not in my vocab. After 5 + IVF attempts, one failed adoption (we had to end it) and heck look at my house! I don't QUIT!! So mom came up with RESIGNING. MUCH better!

SO today, the yard got 1/2 mowed. Man I HATE mowing. I hate the bugs, flying grass and good grief if there is anything in my way i have no mercy. I did something to the mower that left it unusable. No suprise. I see grass i mow it no matter whats underneath it. Much to DH's dismay!! but then don't put me on it. I haven't mowed since last summer when i saw a snake that ended that. But i braved it this time! Saw no snakes. Got two play things put together that i bought out of the paper. One is a Step 2 play and climby thing and the other is a house.

Quit? man was i tempted to throw both things out. WOW what an undertaking THAT was. But they are together and i had to wait for DH to come home and finish it. While working on it I came in to check on the kids and email and someone pulled up in to our driveway. I didn't recognize him so i snuck away from the computer and ran upstairs. He knocked forever. He had a blue tooth, papers, noteboook, and i didn't recognize the license plate. NOw i wished the dogs were here b/c KNOWONE stops when they see THREE dogs laying in the driveway. Heck don't even think about pulling IN TO our driveway with out the rath of MOCHA!!

So i'm not sure who he was but he left and left nothing on the door. No I don't think he was a Jehovah Witness. They know better then to come around here.

Well folks, i think i jumped from one subject to another. But that's my life. Constantly doing something else while thinking something too:) Goodnight house!!
