Man, things have been crazy here at home. Mr Clean is working alot which leaves me and the boys at home. By the time he gets home they are running for the door. He thinks that it is just that they miss him so much... well, it is in part, but I think they are just running away from me. Two cranky kids and a cranky moma doesn't equal happy days. The Banimal has started to cry when he dad leaves in the morning so that gets the day of to a wonderful start. It doesn't take him too long to calm down, but by then the baby is tired so he kicks in.
I am ready for summer. We need to get outside and air out. The kids and I are always in better moods when we go outside everyday. We had some great weather a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday it was snowing and today its just yucky and cold. Well, hopefully we won't have too much more winter to endure.
Next Wednesday we are loading up and going to see Carebears live. Won't that be so exciting. If I don't post for a few days you will know that all the small kids got together and started a rebellion and the mom's didn't make it out alive.
What is up with the Carebears making a comeback. They were popular when I was a kid. The cartoon came on Saturday mornings.... I think. I never was a big Carebear kind of girl. But now kids are crazy about them again. They don't even watch the show. I think you can by videos, but to the best of my knowledge, they don't come on tv. The Banimal has never seen them before. The tickets were cheap and a bunch of his little buddies were going so I figured "what the heck." I may live to regret that decision.
Well, that about sums up my very exciting life. Hopefully next time I post I will be in a better blogging frame of mind.
Oh, btw, check out the blinkies. I am so totally addicted to them. They are like cheesy bumper stickers for your blog. Cool, huh?

Supermom!!!!
I try not to compare myself to other people, but on occasion I catch myself, in true female fashion, dragging out a check list to see how I stack up against the competetion (other moms). Most of the time I feel I am about even with most of my friends. We all have strange little quirks and our house aren't immaculate all the time and we have a few extra pounds of baby fat to loose, but not much.
But there is one friend that we completely exclude when we do the checklist. She is SUPERMOM. She has four kids and a week and a half after giving birth to the last one by cesearian section she had the newborn and the toddler at McDonald's. I have only had two kids and after having the second, I didn't leave the house alone for months. And to add insult to injury.... she was wearing her pre-pregnancy jeans. UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH@!!!!!!!! the nerve.
Her house is always clean. And her husband works alot of hours, so I find this even more amazing. I can never get anything accomplished when Mr Clean isn't here to watch the kids. I have conferred with other moms and we are convinced that she has a tiny migrant worker that lives in a closet and she only brings her out to clean and cook when no one is around (kind of like on Desperate Housewives.)
Mr Clean constantly teases me about her, because he knows how fascinated and perplexed I am by her. He tells me that when she is done with all her daily chores and she has put her 4 kids to bed she slips out of bed and into the bathroom and changes into her superhero costume and flies across the city saving people in distress. Well, all I have to say is come look at my kitchen. I am in distress....Come save me!!!!!
I really think she should write and book and enlighten the rest of us. I know there is some trick or magic to it. At least I hope there is. I am afraid the truth is something I am not going to like..... maybe... the reason she is so thin is because she works so hard all day and burns off what little calories she takes in. And with 4 kids under 6 she probably doesn't have time to eat very much. I like eating. I don't like working very hard...if I can help it..... I'll just hang on to the hope that its magic.

This is my brother, Jason. ( I just realized how funny this looks with the baby pic and then the wedding photo. You might be a redneck if... you marry your sister. Not hardly. We don't live that far back in the mountains. I am proud to say that Mr Clean is of no relation to me. But anywho... I'll save close kin marriages for another post. I just don't have any other photos of him. He is never around. I am really actually surprised that he came to my wedding . I am even more surprised that he wore a tie and had his picture made.) The other picture is of us when he was about 9 mos old.
I really can't believe that as much as I abused him when he was a kid that he has anything to do with me now. I still watch my back when he is around. He says all is forgiven, but I am not so sure. I used to pinch him and then threaten his life if he thought about telling Mom. But I wouldn't let anyone else pick on him. In fact, in the 6 th grade I got thrown off the school bus for 3 days because I come across two seats and punched this idiot in the head for calling him "fat" and making him cry. I was the only one allowed to abuse him.
He is a very funny guy. In fact, he is one of the funniest people I know. He can make a trip to the grocery store side splitting hillarious. Really he doesn't say much that isn't funny. He will even turn some terrible, tragic event into a funny story after the fact.
I worry about him though. He just turned 26 and he is still at home with my parents. I hope my parents live a long, healthy life, because when they die he IS NOT coming to live with us. He is way to messy. I think that the constant exposure to my mother for the last 26 yrs has taken its toll on him. Who knows if he will ever move out and be able to work his way back towards sanity. As long as she does everything for him, I seriously doubt he will even try.
But anyway.....Happy Birthday, Jason!!!!
