Bad Day

Its a good thing that the times of love and sweetness are as overwhelming as the times of utter chaos, disobediance,(why does that word look like its spelled wrong) and horrible fighting. If it wasn't, today would have been the actual day ( I know I've said this before, but today hadn't happened when I previously wrote it ) that I ran away from home.
Since I'm writing this on the plane in silence, while watching my direct TV, and being served snacks, I can tell I'm being more low key about it than I actually felt today.
Why are some days so unbelievably bad and frustrating?
I have wanted to write everyday about funny things the kids say, and even rough situations we go through but I haven't been taking pictures so I almost feel like its too boring.
I'm in the middle seat on the plane. I HATE being in the middle. The girl by the window has her legs crossed into my area. Seriously - she's oblivious to this fact. I'm afraid to fall asleep so I don't accidentally invade somones space. OMG and someone keeps farting. This is the third time in 5 minutes.
Its been a bad day.
I want tomorrow to be here so I can miss my kids.

Seattle and blogging

I had planned to do so much catch up on blogging while I was up here at night. I'm finding that my lack of motivation followed me up to Washington. I look at my laptop and the internet connection and want to plug it - but this cozy soft bed and the cheesy brainless TV seems to have a hold on me. I'm even typing this from my cell phone...
Oh well - maybe tomorrow :)

My fingerpainting wall at work

Just a couple of pictures that make me happy

Playing a computer game ( after playing baseball seemingly IN the dirt outside )

This was about 5:15 the day after New Years Eve.... just found her like that.

She got a little scratch on her finger, and this is what it took for her to calm down. ( That is an entire wash rag wrapped around 1 finger )

Being creative and having a picnic with their babies on one of our long 3 day weekends together.

I'm feeling sorry for myself today. I need to snap out of it - NOW.

Further proof my kids hate to go to bed

Jackie at 10:15 after having his eyes closed for at least 5 full minutes:

"Mom, why do we have necks?"

Kyla at 9:45, a full 20 minutes after she has been in her bed:

"Mom, I just had a horrible dream about Meme. She died." I realize that it sounds like I'm being very passive about that statement, but I could tell when I told her that she could go lay with her daddy then heard her giggling with him 2 seconds later that it was a fabricated story.

WHY DON'T THEY LIKE TO SLEEP? I LOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE TO SLEEP!

The Cowboys are going to round 2!!!!

Robert and TJ had a bet at the beginning of the football season, that who's ever team went the furthest, the other person had to provide the drinks or bar tab, and wear the winning team's jersey AND root for that team! Well............ TJ and his beloved Steelers LOST!

Here are some wonderful pictures from that wonderful night! Oh, what a good night it was. :o

Beginning the process

Getting closer....

Only one step to go.... look at the pride in his face!

awh - DONE! I LOVE IT!!!

Kid's having pizza -they didn't want the parent junk food

TJ continuing the team spirit even during half-time!

It was such an easy win some of the cheering section got tired...

Using Jackie as a shield to hide the jersey -

BLACKMAIL
