ha ha, very funny
This is the latest quote from Rio that Sam's spouting off every five seconds!! The first time I heard her say it tho, I was in stitches!!!!
This morning went well until DJ lost his sippy cup I'd JUST poured him two seconds before...and we spent probably 5 minutes looking for it before I decided enough was enough and we headed to school....LATE! I knew from the moment we got in the truck he'd need a tardy slip...and informed him of that too! The kids had their breakfast in the truck and I had mine in my purse...I don't like eating the moment I get up...I need to clear the cobwebs! After we dropped DJ off, Sam and I went to SVEC to drop books...and we sat and chatted with our neighbours, who were also eating breakfast...so I joined them and Sam played with play doh with K and C. We left just before 10 and headed to her dance center. It was SO cold out, that the heat in the truck was quite welcome.
After dance we had one stop to make...getting the pizza and dropping it off. Easy breezy, lemon squeezy!! We got home and I made myself a lunch as Sam had already partaken in pizza...she got some cucumber with me and was quite happy. After lunch we got some laundry going and then snuggled under great grandma Thelma's blanket together....it was SOOOOOOO cold in the house it was ridiculous!! My nose was ice cold!! At 3 we started moving around, but cuz it was still SO cold, I put the oven on for an hour and enjoyed the warmth in the kitchen as I cleaned and prepped dinner.
Dinner was early as it was an Awana nite....and we were taking K with us for the first time...DJ was SO excited to bring him as a friend....he got a little wired from that and was doing stupid stuff to show off all nite! They separated them in game time, on the same team, but with 4 kids between them lol...they learned quick! He said he had fun! As we were loading up in the truck, I heard the choo of a train and thought "good timing, we'll miss it!" and then as we pull up to the tracks, the bars are down and flashing and there's a second train that was FAR longer than the first one! grrrr To top it off, I had a day 3 headache that would NOT stop!! The lights and noise were threatening to turn migraine on me....got home and took 4 advil right away! Within the hour, it was gone and I'm SO thankful!
Howie went to bed immediately after the kids did...so I came out and watched Whitney, which had me rolling...and then a new show Are You There, Chelsea...which I'm not too sure about...it's quite irreverent, and while I'm a fan of Chelsea Handler, not sure I'll be able to watch this one, we'll see. Modern Family was perfectly funny!!! Such a good show! And Happy Endings was the funniest!! I'm saving Revenge and heading to bed early...I liked being in bed at 12:30 last nite...the morning wasn't too tough...waking up at least...
Ha ha very funny!
Til next time...God bless!
The life and times of the Hughes Family and all it's goings on...more times than not, it'll be the random thoughts I have and their explanations

One Hurtin Puppy
This morning was painful! I've decided that Tuesdays are the new Monday around here!! I know I should keep the kids on the same schedule EVERY day, but really, who does that!?!?! Not this sleep loving mom! As per DJ's request, I laid his clothes out for him and I have to say, other than the fact that I chose the wrong t-shirt (he wanted his Angry Birds one) it went pretty darn smoothly! I'll be doing that again!!! No more "help me pick my clothes out" battles!! Uniforms really can be a good thing! If only...lol
Since Sam and I had no plans for the day, we came right home from dropping him off...the earliest EVER too!!!!...and had our breakfast right away. Scratchy eggs for her, and an omelet for me! YUM! I've been having scratchy eggs for so long now, I'd forgotten! I kinda did it frittata style too...makin me drool just typing this out!! lol After we were done, I got to work on Avon...I'd done most of it yesterday, so that was helpful. In fact, I even managed to sit with Sam for a half hour til I got a phone call with a new order.
After lunch I bathed Sam as I knew I wouldn't be here tonite to do it...and I'd found a new hair style on Pinterest to try...and she LOVED it!!!! It was super easy too! I'd watched a video on twisty braids, but when I actually did it, I found a MUCH easier way to do it! The end result was just darling!!! Truly! And she oohed and ahh'd over it perfectly! Cracks me up!
By the time we were done, it was time to get DJ from school...and since we got there just as he getting out, we didn't have time to play like I thought we would...so when we got home, I got busy straight away making chili for dinner and then we took the dogs to the park for a romp. Both dogs were WORN out when we got home...and Belle's usually pristine white coat, was a muddy shade of brown! Got her cleaned up and then hopped in the shower. Ate a quick dinner with Howie and then headed to Everett for an Avon meeting. Good one too...small group of 8 of us and 2 leaders, so lots of ideas were bouncing around! Got home a bit later than normal, but Howie was still up and heading to bed. I got my chores done and sat down a spell to watch Fear Factor (I'll admit, I totally fast forwarded the eating section) and then Parenthood...wasn't much else on! Now I'm heading to bed early. Miss Belle has a strain in her front paw and I need to get her to bed so she will quit moving around...not that she's been moving much, but when she gets up she winces...I can hear it! Poor thing! Can you give puppies Advil??
Til next time...God bless!

Back to the grind
What a busy weekend!!!!
Friday we didn't do anything spectacular...or at least, I can't remember right now...
Saturday I made the horrid mistake of going to Costco....Howie got home from fishing and I went out after lunch...kidless!!! I swear, I'll never do that again!! I'll gladly wait til Monday and take BOTH kids with me if I have to! It was SO not worth it to go by myself! WOW!!
Then Saturday nite, after dinner and baths, we played Uno Attack with both kids....found out DJ learned how to play regular Uno next door....so we played the four of us, and it was FUN!!! Oh I'm so excited that we can play real games with the kids now! I won the first game and we had to pause the second game as I had to leave and get to Panera and do the pick up. From there I went to the bingo hall to play with my g/f Jackie and her crew. I made the mistake of doubling one of my strips, and it cost me more in the end...but on the VERY LAST game, I got to yell BINGO with an O 74 call....I'd been waiting for it and waiting for it!! I'd gotten close on a couple other games, but this one finally made me a winner!!! Sadly, I wasn't the only one to yell Bingo....2 others shared my victory and I got a whopping 34.00! But hey, it was 22 dollars more than I spent!!!! So a win for me!!!
Sunday we went to church and after that came home for lunch...I then left and finished the grocery shopping...kidless again, but this time at Freddy's...MUCH more tolerable!!! We've started phase one of South Beach again, so I took my time shopping and picking things out. Did good! I also got some potty pads for Belle to try....for behind the chairs, her fave place to poop....my goal is to move them once a week, or so, and get them closer and closer to outside so she'll learn to go outside instead of inside. Here's hoping!!!
Today we've done not much of anything really....well, the kids have played their hearts out!! We've had K and C here for the better part of the afternoon too. I got some Avon stuff done and we've picked up the books from the shed for sharing out on Wednesday. Howie's back at work, and it's been weird without him home....granted it was weird with him home those first couple days when vacation started....lol
Howie got home from work and managed to grab an hour's nap...lucky ducky!!! I'd found a really cool app for my phone that has a 3D pop up story of Rapunzel...both kids enjoyed that for over an hour!!! Score one for mom!!! I did LOTS of searching today for free eBooks for the Kindle app...I found about 15 or 20 kids books and grabbed them all!! Even the Pollyanna ones for Sam in a few years! Who knows, by then she could have her own Kindle and maybe I can "loan" it to her. As we're fiddling around with Rapunzel and I'm getting dinner started the doorbell rings sending everyone into a tizzy....it was Michaela with a plate of homemade cream puffs! Talk about torture!!!!! I was SO ready to chuck today as day 1 and start tomorrow!!!!! But, I only took 4 for the kids and DJ was more than happy with that. They sure smelled heavenly!!! Never had 'em homemade before! *sigh*
After dinner I bathed DJ and got he kids in bed....with promises of sippy cups awaiting them in the fridge even tho it's a school day! DJ even told me to pick out his clothes and leave them on his bed so he can get dressed "just like that" and go! SO cute! I will tho, just to see if he does it well...might be the start of a new trend! Once they were in bed, Howie and I totally indulged in a Weight Watchers fudge bar!!!!! Oh I'm SO glad those things are allowed in phase one!!!! Seriously needed it!!! Night time is my toughest time!! I don't snack all day long, but come nite time, even if I'm knitting, I get snacky!!! I did okay tonite tho...whew! Day one is always the hardest!! 'Course I may say day 3 is the hardest...we'll see! At least I didn't all the bad habits I had to break last time, this time!!
There was some really big college football game on tonite, of which I could have cared less who won, really...but that ended just before 9, and then Howie went to bed...so I put on the Bachelor and within 20 minutes was sobbing! I swear, that's a first for this show!!!! Making me cry!?!?!? lol Yeah, I'm a sap tho! And I'm hormonal...so I really was screwed from the get go! I may have cried more than the girls in the show tonite!!!! Oh the drama!!! Blakely needs to go HOME!!!! She's just awful!! So is that other chick who got the one on one...oh, I can't remember her name...Courtney! that's it! She's just spiteful!! ugh! Castle was good tonite, but I didn't follow it near as well as I normally do...Pinterest sucked me in!!! oops!

Two ships that pass in the day
That's how it was for us today!!! (I had this whole post done and somehow lost it on Tabbi...and it's far too late for me to just pick up where I left off :( so irritating!!!)
Needless to day...dentist today...two new cavities, and I still need the crown...Howie the baby also had an appointment and no cavities (he sux!) and with all that running around we finally were all home together at 4 and enjoyed a nice evening together! Hair cut and all! :)
Grey's must have a mission to make its viewers cry every time!!! Damn them!!! It was heart wrenching tonite!! And PP was a lil on the weird side mixed with some really real emotions about adoption.
Sorry for the crappy post...

Sad but not heartbroken
This morning we waved good bye and blew kisses to Grams and Pops (as DJ calls them) as they headed off to the airport with Howie driving and DJ beside Poppa....Sam and I got to stay behind and have a nice breakfast which was already heated up, and take our time getting ready for dance class. Howie got home and we turned round and headed for town for Sam's class....he finally got to attend one and just giggled his way thru it watching her dance her heart out!!! SO fun!!!
Then we ran some errands and headed for home and had a pizza I'd just picked up on the run...then we declared it nap time, but Sam wouldn't have anything of it! So Howie got the bed, and I got the couch to be with her. Then I got up and made the sketti sauce while Sam was in the bath enjoying the bubbles. DJ came home from school, and I wrangled him into the bath after doing Sam's hair all pretty. Then I grabbed a shower and we ate an early dinner as tonite was an Awana nite. Our first one without the secretary who's done it for years!!! They left the church in December, so we are head secretary-less...kinda scary, but we all managed!
We got home and the kids went right to bed...no fighting either like we talked about...I like that! Sam accidentally went to bed last nite without a diaper on (she ate dinner in jammies) and so she soaked her bed :( so tonite we made SURE she put one on as her sheets are in the wash...along with her pillow! Howie went to bed about 9:30 and I sat and watched some tv while perusing the Auction book I'd been given to read and learn from. Modern Family was funny as usual...Phil's panic was hilarious and true to form for most people. Happy Endings kinda lost me...but that might have been due to the book in my lap...it was more like an inside joke they weren't sharing well...I don't know, but it felt off. Revenge tho...man, that was GOOD!! I put it on pause and spent a half hour doing the Auction thing as I knew I'd get engrossed in it...good call on my part! Got some knitting done too once my hands warmed up! Losing two heat producing bodies changed the temp in the house for sure!!! Altho, I swear I can still smell garlic!!

Dinner by candlelight
So romantic but when you add your kids and parents to the mix, its not so romantic!! Oh add to that the fact that you don't have power and its right before dinner was actually done cooking!! Quite the challenge!! So what do we do? Play cards by candlelight!! And when the pwer did come back on...we leapt to the kitchen kept on playing cards instead of making the rest of the dinner we intended on making at which point the power went out again!!!!! So we really did get to eat by candlelight!
When we were done eating I was more than shocked to see it was already after 8! and since its a school nite for Mr DJ, they went to bed....not without some ordeal tho...we still didnt have power....BUT I had the genius idea to give the kids some glow sticks to help ease their night light anxieties. I'd gotten the idea from a friend of mine that uses them when she bathes her kids!!! Not sure if I'll get that brave or not, but it sure worked tonite!! Just as I was about to read by the flashlight app on my phone when I noticed Sam's night light was glowing!!! We didn't have the bedroom lights on since they didn't work to begin with....so we quick put them on and read our books and tucked them in. They were both concerned that the glow stick fairy was going to come and take them away...clearly they remember halloween! lol I reassured them (DJ more so than Sam) that she would NOT come...and DJ asked if I had her phone number to call her and tell her...cracked me UP! He fell asleep holding them and she had them on her bed!
I then had the task of cleaning the kitchen from dinner and getting DJ's lunch ready for school tomorrow...YAY!! I'm SO ready for that routine to get back in place!!! Howie went to bed and I finished up and got to sit a spell....watched Mike & Molly and then 2 Broke Girls....2.5 Men was on and i wasn't that impressed....Then we watched the news a bit before mom and dad went down to bed...
I'm currently sitting here with the tablet on my lap learning how to use the keyboard in a typing fashion as its incredibly sensitive!!! I'll be typing and all of a sudden I'm typing somewhere else cuz a part of my thumb hit the mouse pad area thingy....This has definitely taken longer than I anticipated!!! But it sure is nice to sit here and type while watching the Bachelor! Who has some pretty amazingly stupid women to pick from!!! This Jenna chick is off her rocker!!! I was FLOORED when he picked her as the last one!!!! DANG! Let the drama begin! Oh wait, it already has!!! Sheesh! The girl who just walked in and didn't stop to meet him, yeah, that backfired!!! The Monica chick is there to find her own chick....she's not there for Ben! Just sayin...
Now, I'm gonna hit the hay....that 7 am alarm is gonna hurt after having 2.5 weeks off!! Reminds me, gotta set it up!
Til Next time...God bless!

Happy New Year!!!!!!
2012 is upon us!!!
If one was to judge the year based on how the first day was, I'm sittin pretty for the most part.
I woke up to a flashing clock, so I know the power was out at some point during the nite. Thankfully it came on 2 hours before I got up so I could shower and get ready for church properly! Not to mention have breakfast! Which was waiting for me in the oven.
Church was different as our pastor is on holidays and we had a piano playing singer do the whole service. It was okay....but I really do think new years eve and daylight savings need to marry as today would have been TZhE perfect day for an extra hour of sleep!
After church we went to Red Robin fit lunch which was delicious!!! Tired of burgers I opted for their clam chowder and salad lunch. Even the kids didn't order their normal stuff! We got home from church and I went to get changed, I come out of the bathroom and Howie's under the covers!! We both managed to get an hour's worth of a nap before kids found us!! Sweet!! He got up then and I got another hour! Til Belle found me courtesy of DJ! When I woke the second time, we had no power again. And it had been out for an hour already...since it was already 4, I started lighting candles just in case it didn't come back on before dark. Well it got dark fast!!! The kids enjoyed the candles but wouldn't leave our sides as it was too dark! We were just about to play cards when it came back on!! We played anyways and dad finally learned how to cheat the game! He threw it do I wouldn't win! Not nice at all and kinda pissed me off greatly!! After that we got dinner going and enjoyed some Mexican appetizers and sides. Topped off with a Krispy Kreme and it was all good!!
Once the kids were in bed at a fairly decent time, we sat down and watched Hangover II which was FUNNY!!! Comparable to the first which I think was funnier as it was so unexpectedly funny!! As Howie was going to bed, mom got up to make her and dad a Theraflu drink and the power goes out again! I'm now sitting here waiting for it to come back on do I can turn things off so I can go to bed.
To recap, 2012 will have lots of church, good food, naps, family, and funny moments!! I can dig that!! :)
Happy New Year to you!!!!

I'm now sitting here waiting for it to come back on do I can turn things off so I can go to bed.
To recap, 2012 will have lots of church, good food, naps, family, and funny moments!! I can dig that!! :)
Happy New Year to you!!!!
