So I don't have a whole lot of time to sit here and blog, so when the time comes that i do, you should know whatever has warranted the time i spent blogging, must be worth it!
I had such a crazy night last night. It all started with a phone call from my sister, which seems to be a pattern in my fun times! This phone call consisted of a request that i come over for the best night of my life. Now who wouldn't be intrigued????
So I make my way over there with high expectations. i'd had somewhat of a boring day, oh who am i kidding? It was down right lousy! But I can pretty much be sure that if she's promising a good time, a good time will be had.
Singstar, a game for the play station, came out with a 90's version. Oh glorious day!!!! For those that don't know, singstar is pretty much a karaoke game where the object is to sing on key and in tune and all that good stuff. Let's just say, I pretty much suck, but oh well. It's alot of fun!!! I gave up on trying to find the right note a long time ago!!!
I'm not exactly sure how long it took for us to loosen up, but i do remember a whole lot of dancing and singing and the unmistakable feeling of that inner rocker busting out!! I can say that there was no alcohol involved, however i'd like to say there was because at least it would be a good excuse for the things that happened!!!
I never knew what a good rapper brenda is. But we found out last night! Courtesy of Baby Got Back!! And let me tell you, nostalgia was running wild! Between New Kids on The Block, Wilson Phillips, and Poison, some lasting memories were made last night. but none as memorable as MC Hammers Can't touch this. Now I know that you all are starting to get the beat in your head, but I dare say you won't come close to the beat that Brenda and I were feeling!! Thats right, we were feeling the beat. Feeling it so much that we were overcome with stupidity and for me, a severe lack of rthym. I'm not so sure what in the world overcame us, but before i knew it, we were transformed into the video itself. We were busting our own moves, or the camera, one of the two. Thats right, I said camera. I'm afraid to say that the camera was out. And videos were taken. But have no fear. My plan to break and enter into Lauras house and steal the camera is in the works. I would hate to subject any of you to having to witness the ludicrous behavior that was going on!! i'd like to say that we maintained some sort of maturity about us, but that would be a big lie!! It was a funfilled night of singing, dancing, ice cream and just plain fun.
Its nice to let loose every now and then and to have friends that you can just be an idiot around without thinking twice about it. And while I fully admit, I will never hold a candle to Laura singing Hit Me Baby One more Time, I'm proud to say that i kick butt with Lips Of An Angel. Brenda reigns with Baby Got Back, without a doubt. And together they can hold their own with I Wanna Sex You Up. Forget therapy, buy singstar, and all your troubles go away, until you realize someone has the camera out and you just don't care. Whether its dancing on the fireplace, sitting on the TV or being blown away by the fan, it all adds up to one hell of a fun night!!!
My only request, is to Laura. Please be nice about the pics you post!!!! Lol

Another weekend goes by...

Its Sunday night, and finally time to wind down. Yeah!!!!! It was a good weekend for us. I took it upon myself to break a few Child Labor Laws, but what the heck. Good hard work never hurt anyone. I don't think anyways!!

The boys and I spent the weekend around the house, mostly working outside. We did a lot of planting and pulling weeds. Our new house is lacking on the landscaping side so we have a lot of work ahead of us. Which would go a lot faster if Jake didn't insist on "helping". I would have to say that his favorite thing to do was to use the hose, and his favorite thing to water, you ask? That would be Cole. As if he needed to grow anymore!! Dylan was pretty much gone for the day, exploring the "forest" that is in the backyard. He loves to put on all of his army gear and start scouting. The back side of our house sits right up against a large grove of trees that houses about 10 deer, lots of squirrels and raccoons, our little resident rabbit that burrows in our backyard, and who can forget about the pack of wild turkeys. Yes, you read that right. We have wild turkeys that roam the neighborhood, but are partial to crowding into OUR backyard at three in the morning and cackling right under my open window. But thats a whole different story, back to that one at hand...Dylan has decided that one way or another, he is going to get close enough to the deer to touch them. Today he was amazingly patient enough to sit in a tree and wait for them. He was so excited when they walked right by him. But then was disappointed when he coughed on accident and they ran away. Oh well, it'll give him something to do next weekend. And it beats his last quest, which was to hunt for bear with nothing more than a stick. What can I say, the kid is adventurous.
Moving on in the day, next on our list was to wash the truck and the quads. I've come to learn that sometimes in life, things sound like a good idea, and then when I'm half way through, I realize my idea of good, is a little twisted!! Once again, our task involved the hose, and once again, Jake decided to spend more time hosing Cole off than the truck. He found it absolutely hilarious until the hose got turned on him!! Not so funny anymore.
The end of our evening brought many things to light for me. As a reward for all their help in the day, we went to McDonalds for dinner. I know what you're thinking, wow! McDonalds! Yes that is as good as it gets in my world!! A completely kid welcome atmosphere where not only is dinner taken care of, but we get an early jump on bedtime. The boys all think they are living the good life, because when they are done eating, they get to play. What they don't understand is that it is a completley selfish act on my part. The harder they play, the more tired they get. I found that for the first time in quite a while, I just sat back and watched them play. I realized tonight that no matter how crazy things are for me, and no matter how frustrated I can get, I couldn't imagine my life without my kids. Every day seems to pass like a whirl wind right now and sometimes, i forget to slow down and focus on the most important things in my life. I was lucky enough to see that tonight. And hopefully will be able to remember that more often.

My sister has inspired me...

For all of those that don't know...my inspiration for this blog has been inspired by my sister. However, I'm quite intimidated because she has the greatest and craziest blogs, so if anyone is reading this is looking for any type of insight or wisdom on life, you're in the wrong place!!!

I really don't feel the need to go into any background information, because if you're reading this, you obviously know me well enough to know everything there is to know about me.

So my first attempt at this whole blogging thing, will be to give to give the real story about when my sister and I went line dancing recently.

Lets just say, that even though, in her latest blog, she claims to have been doing me this huge favor by going with me dancing, secretly, deep down inside, she was enjoying this.

And how do I know this you may ask yourself? Because I was there!! I watched it all unfold. It started with the ever so slightly nodding of her head to the beat of the music. And she may claim that she was only having a good time watching everyone, but I could see her foot start tapping to the beat. Followed by her feet twitching as she was figuring out the steps and trying to memorize them, because I know, oh yes, I know, that when she got home afterwards, I'm sure that she was secretly practicing at home so that she can rock the floor next Tuesday night!!!

I just want to let her know, that its ok. I will not think less of her, nor will her friends, when she finally admits that she is enjoying herself and one day will own her own pair of boots, to slide and kick around the dance floor on!!

So in the future, for the truth about our adventures on the dance floor, just know that here is where you will find it.

I love you Laura, thank you for being there for me even though I'm sure you had better things to do! It means alot to me that you are always there for me when i need you!!
