Ma'am

What makes you feel old? I'd like to know. I'm only 26 years old, and I would think that that is young and I'm sure when I'm older i'll look back on this entry and think how naieve and stupid i was..But i felt old the other day..I'm talking really old. I had done some grocery shopping and was checking out when the bag boy, who was probably in his latter years of high school said, "Have a good day Ma'am" WHAT! Ma'am. Now I'm sure he was just being nice and polite and his momma raised him right..i get that..My own children call me ma'am when they're in trouble. I don't know how to describe it. I just felt a little eelllkkkk feeling. So i'd like to know, what makes you all feel old? Any experiences that you've had please let me know so i can start to feel better as i read and laugh and thrive on your pain. (I'm not really that cruel, i was kidding..a little)

fun kids

two funny things :
Ethan just walked up to me (i'm sitting on the floor folding clothes) and grabbed the front of my shirt, put his face right up to mine so our forheads touched and said in his angry voice "What are you doing mister?" Ha! What a crack up kid he is.

the second thing is Samantha walked up to me a little bit ago and pulled my hair thing out and started brushing my hair...They are so cute

Tina or bust

i sit here writing this while sitting on the floor of my bedroom and sitting next to me is Samantha who at the moment is: picture this... She just has on a diaper, wearing my black socks pulled up to her knees, laying on her tummy, chin propped on one fist while with her other hand coloring with a pen on a file folder and hair just taken out of a pig tail on the top of her head that now looks like a fauxhawk. I digress. The whole point of this blog entry is Tina Turner. I've been struggling lately with things, I won't go into it, but i wanted to let you all know that I have just decided, here in the last few minutes, that I think i would like to become a Tina Turner impersonator. I think that just might be the jazzin' up my life needs. A little.......zing..You know what I mean. Now, I understand I might look a tad different than Tina, but anyone in my family would know....I got the Hair for it. Who are we kidding. When i was in high school and i would blow dry my hair....WHOOO!! Tina Turner baby!! Plus she's got some great sass and love for life. The loud songs and crazy dancin! I'm thinking I could do it. Maybe not in front of people though. We'll see, it's ,still in the thought process.

Jim sprained his ankle today. This whole not having insurane thing is not going well for us. And it's only day 3 without it. When's the U.S gonna get on the bandwagon with the whole everyone get's insurance thing? Sometimes I hate this country.

I need a bike

I really need a bike. If anyone has one they want to give me, or if anyone has one they want to sell me for less than 30 dollars, or if anyone see's one at a garage sale for less that 30 dollars in great condition..call me...
I have a trailor for the kids to ride in, and am all set to take them on bike rides, but alas....no bike. I ,despratly need the exersice and the kids and i need the time around town. If anyone knows of a bike, please let me know

First day with no insurance

Let me start this by saying, we have some dull steak knives and we've been saving these one's we got for our wedding (i know 7 years almost is probably a little long to not use them) So jim decided to bust one out and use it the other day. He was amazed. Said it cut like "butta" . So i'm stading in the kitchen cutting up some chicken for myself for dinner. Using this new knife, when all of a sudden.....BAMMMMM I SLICE INTO MY FINGER. BLOOD GOES PLATTERING EVERYWHERE!!!AAAHAHHHAHAHAHHAH. It was horrifying. i yelled for Jim to get a bandaid and i started running it under water quickly. He hands me a bandaid and a towell and i'm thinking to myself. It's probably not as bad as it feels. So i go to put a bandaid on it and blood just starts pouring out of my finger. Onto plan B. I get 2 bandaids and try again. NOPE . Plan c. 2 big gauze pads and some medical tape. Good to go. Now i need to go clean up the blood. Can you believe this happens on the first day with no insurance. Unbeleiveable
