What not to do with a bottle of Propel water!

Well I finally have something to blog about! My lovely #5 P loves Propel water. Wants to drink it all the time, which is good, its not soda and all the sugar from other drinks so I should be thankful right? Uuhhhhh yano. He asked for a bottle on Monday night and took it to the basement. I called down later and told them it was time for bed and they both #4 and #5 came running up the stairs and I stoped #5 and looked at his face and said..."Why do you have a purple mustache?" And he goes to wipe it off. "Ownt know" his favorite words. "Well go upstairs and wash your face and get ready for bed." So a few minuets later I go in to read stories and he still has the same purple stash on the upper and what looks like to be the lower lip also. "P" I say "did you put your lips in the bottle of Propel?" "Yeah" he said, "and then I sucked the water out of the bottle." So needless to say my son has a hickey,a purple one at that around his mouth the perfect shape of the propel bottle. I wish I had my camera but M has it in Chicago, taking pictures of the "making of the house". So what is the moral to this story? Never stick your lips in a bottle of propel water and suck, you will get a big hickey around your mouth!!!!

Not so much

Hello to my many readers (LOL) Well, I think we might have sold the house but I don't know 100% so I won't jinx it. We are going on week 2 without M here to help me keep the house clean and tidy so people can come look at it at a drop of a hat, kinda sucks! I just hope it is all over SOON! I could talk about my brother and sister-in-laws new dog but every body that reads that...reads this. And I could talk about my sister and all the crap she has been going through lately and how May is a really sucky month for her...but every body that reads that...reads this. So not so much to write about yet. But I didn't want everyone to think I'd forgotten about the blog. So hopefully soon something amazing will happen and I can wrtie about it. And then again maybe not!

Little Bunny FooFoo

Well, I finally have something to write about. I thought it would be sooner but I guess the stars were on my side of late.
So I was down in the kitchen the other evening and saw the cutest bunny hopping around out side. I went over to the back doors and watched him for a few and then he hopped away. We have been having trouble with the little cuties eating our flowers here in the hood. One neighbor has gone as far as setting a cage trap to get it and take it far far away so it will leave the beautiful tulips and lillys they have growing in the front yard. Any way, I went back up stairs and not 2 minuets later my son was running up the stairs say "MOM, you have to come downstairs now, #4 and I need your help." I just look at him for a few seconds and said "What is it?" He was all excited and said "There's a bunny in the basement well." Oh @$%#! I thought, jumped up and followed my son down the stairs to the basement and sure ---- there was a bunny in the well. The same one I had just seen hopping around the corner. The grate to the well is just around the corner so he must have not been paying attention and bam! right into the well. Well needless to say the poor thing was terrified and it had a bloody nose. I got my kitchen gloves (we have had mice before and they bite so I was taking caution) and opend up the window and took out the screen and poor thing was just hopping all over the place. Into the screen and the window just trying to hop high enough to get the heck out of there. I know he was thinking "if I could get a running start....." and BAM right into the side of the well. You think after 6 tries he would figure out that that wasn't going to work. So I cornered him and got a hold on him and then I had no frigin idea what the heck I was going to do with the poor thing. So I go upstaris and out side and just stand there with 4 excited kids around me saying "what are you gonna do with...can we keep it...ahwww it's so cute...what are ya gonna do with it? I had no idea so I thought about my neighbor who had a trap and so off I go up the street with a baby bunny in my hands arms out streched. I'm sure my neighbors were inside laughing at me walking up the street with no shoes on and holding a bunny that looks to them may have the plague the way I was holding it. So I get to M's house and knock on the door and they yell "come in" and I said "aaahhhhh I can't kinda got my hands full so M walks around the corner and went to let me in but saw the bunny. He thought I had just caught it outside his house and of course I had to correct him and tell him that I cornered the poor thing. And then he said "what do you want me to do about it"? I said "Your the one who had been trying to catch the rabbits you tell me." So after debating with he and his wife on what to do with it, M tells me to get in his jeep and we will drop it off in the woods about a mile from the house. So big jeep, big tires, hands full, M had to boost me up into the jeep (and you know K he's not to shabby!) So off we go driving along when all of a sudden we hit something that sounds like a huge chain hitting the jeep. M "What the heck was that???" I look in the side mirror but see nothing at all. M "Did we hit a bike?" Me "No and I don't see anything that we could have hit". M (with the look a fear and understanding) "My bit set...it was my bit set. Apparently M was working on the jeep early and had left his bit set on the front of the jeep. All this for a rabbit??? We turn around and find the woods and let the bunny go and boy was he happy to be let go. He just jumped and jumped away in the tall grass. Awwwww. So now we have to go and see if we can find what is left of the bit set. Me in no shoes walking around looking for parts. We found the case in two pieces and bits up and down the road. Cars were driving by real slow with really strange looks on their faces (can you blame them?) Big bald guy and a scary looking woman with no shoes on. All we could do was smile, wave and laugh really hard. So that is the excitement that has been going on here. Little Bunny FooFoo hopping through the woods, and having a story to tell the fam. (even though my hubby told me that I probably killed it, letting it go far away from it's home) Thanks dear! I needed that one. But not to be sad I saw what looked to be the same bunny the next morning in the back yard.(at least that's what I say to help me sleep at night) Cuz ya know rabbits don't have tons of babys at one time and they don't usually all look alike right??? Anyone?

It's lil Bro all over again!

Except I don't think he ever got stitches. I could be wrong but I did, A LOT. Over the weekend the kids 4 and 5 (1 being the oldest, 2 the next...you get the drift) went to Chi town to help M (my hubby) and the eldest move into a rental home until ours is finished being built. Any ways, back to the lil bro thing. In the back yard is a pretty big pine tree (thank goodness it wasn't a magnolia hee hee) and #5 decided he wanted to climb it and then #4 decided that she could do it too. Well, #5 helped her up the tree and then she couldn't get down but not before #5 made it to the tippy top of that tree. All I could do was stand there and laugh and think back to the time my bro climbed to the tippy top of a huge, and I mean HUGE magnolia tree in our back yard when we were growing up and him calling for help. Then I remembered that at one time he also fell all the way down the same tree. So # 5 at the tippy top and I at the bottom tried to talk her down but God love her she just marches to a different drum sometimes and just didn't get it. Don't get me wrong, she is a bright girl but trees or should I say climbing just isn't her thang. Thankfully no one was hurt and we eventually got her down and she was advised not to climb that again. # 5 reminds me so much of my brother that it scares me. But just like lil bro just to dang cute! They are both very lucky they are still here. :) Well, on another note, our house is still up for sale :( 7 showings in 7 weeks is not a bad average but the hook just isn't catching. I wonder if my sisters Son #2 could bring his net and see what he could do for me. Hopefully it will sell soon. The weather is getting nicer up here in IN so the house hunters should be out in droves. (I hope I hope I hope)

Me in a nut shell




Ok, I am new at this and don't really know what I am doing but I'm giving it a try. Does trouble really come in three's cuz if it does I am in big trouble!! Two weeks ago my daughter fell from her scooter and broke her two front teeth, one to the root. Two days ago my son fell at shcool on the bleachers and buster his head open and I had to get him and take him to the ER for stitches. It was two weeks to the day my daughter got hurt and even crazier, I was wearing the same shirt and I had only worn it twice. Needless to say the shirt is no longer. If something else bad happpens I know it won't be the shirts fault. ( unless it shows up on my porch or some thing freeky like that) Ok now that I got that off my mind I guess I could tell those of you who don't know me a little about me and my family. My husband and I have been married for 5 years and we have 5 children between the two of us (none together) . That kinda fools people when we say we have 5 kids. They think they are all mine, yeah right, two was enough and C-sections at that...I don't know nothin bout birthin no babies!!! The eldest is 20, 21 in July. He will be living with us when we move to Chi Town. (that is a whole blog in itself) Next are boy/girl twins who will be 17 in July also (I guess they only did it in October) hee hee! Then there are my two. My oldest is 10 and she thinks she is alot older just look at the picture. Then my son who is 7 and is he a hand full, if he weren't so cute... Right now we live in Indiana and are trying to sell our house. My husband got an awsome job in IL and as soon as we sell we will be moving up with him. So that is us in a nut shell, besides a wonderful sister who lives in TX and my brother (just as awsome) :p who lives in Alaska and my parents who live in OK. We are scattered all over the place. Well I guess that will do it for my first blog. I'm really not that great at expressing my words on paper as well as I can verbally so please forgive me if I go from one thought to another A LOT! You might get dizzy but hopefully when it is all over it will make sence.
