A positive note.

I was just thinking that I should post something positive. I am truly grateful for my family. For my kids, they are my reason for continuing to live.

And another day passes....

I think I do the same thing everyday. I get up at 5 because no one here can set their own alarms. I get people off to school, there is usually some screaming involved. I count money for PTA everyday. We are selling T-shirts again this year, I didn't learn my lesson last year.
I did go to the library today and I got a book about a serial killer. Turns out they kill little kids, so much for sleeping tonight or ever again.
I better get to bed, My 5 AM wake up seems awfully early.

Try Not To Die Of Shock!

Okay, so it has been a LONG time since my last post. I don't even own that car we were fixing anymore, We added a new dwarf, bought the jumbo sized van, lost a parent in horrible circumstances. All in all, it has been a long season for us. Since we no longer have 7 dwarfs and I can't call them by name in the big, bad internet, they are all numbered from here on out.
1 is fine, going to night school. 2 is good, going to high school. 3 is a drama queen still, maybe I should stick them with names HAHAHAHA, 4 is learning to play the violin, my ears might not make it through another orchestra student. 5 is still screechy, naughty, and just plain unpleasant. 6 started preschool. We LOVE Miss K. 7 is killing me. 8 is a joy.
We are all well for the moment. I will try to be better about not letting 10 months pass before another post.

For Julie, who posts all the time.

It was brought to my attention tonight that I have not blogged for over a month. This by my next door neighbor who probably hears from me tons more than she wants to! Anyway, here I am. With nothing interesting to share. Our car was not done, it had to go back and cost another 300 dollars. It runs nicely now, though not as good in the snow as our former car, *sniff.
I guess of some small interest, I did make my yearly trek to Victoria's Secret. I was going to get gift cards but the over pushy sales girl showed me ALL of their gift sets and I left with 2 perfume sets in little silver bags that were half the cost of the gift cards I was going to buy. And even though I was there, and they have many new styles and sizes, I did not let them size me for a bra. I am sure that I am a huge disappointment to all the girly girls out there in the world. It's just that for me, if I brush my hair and put on clothes that I didn't have on the day before, it is a good day.

I have yet to get into the "Christmas Spirit". I just do not car this year. I wish I knew what my problem is but I don't care enough to ponder why. It is harder with older kids, they aren't as easily thrilled as the little ones are. Anyway, I do hope all my friends and family out there have a fabulous Holiday season, even if they find themselves living next door to the Grinch. Sorry Julie.

Hell Hath Frozen Over...

MY CAR IS READY!!!!

Nothing New

The van is in the shop, again. It has to be registered this month and since the check engine light just came on I have to have it fixed before I can drive it legally. As much as I have to do everyday I am not as opposed to breaking the law and driving my illegal car and I am to the idea of being stuck with no way to accomplish anything. Maybe they will find something really simple wrong and have it back to me today. Yeah, that could happen. It won't. But it could.

Our Broken Van

The van has been broken for over a week now. I have passed going stir crazy and am now just slowly dying. I'm sure those of you out there with 7 dwarfs and no car can relate. My friend had a baby a couple days ago and I wanted to go see her, but no car. This friend has come to see me when I have had a baby the last several babies, all of them since we met, and I have never been to see her. Oh well. I guess if I ever have a car again I might see the kid when she is 5 or 10.
My dear Prince is not inclined to work on cars. He put off looking at it for a week and now we start week 2 and we might have a plan to get it in to someone this week. Maybe.
I have to go now, no clue where the little monster, I mean Lone Ranger, has disappeared to. And I am in desperate need of a shower, who cares what you smell like when you can't leave?
