11 Days later............

I haven't had the time to post anything in my blog but here I am. It's almost 9pm and I'm exhausted and sleepy. I just finished painting a closet that will have my washer and dryer. I can't wait!! But painting is really hard work, especially when you don't do that type of work everyday. I don't mind it but it's the setting up, cutting the edges and corners and painting the trim that gets me tired.

So, the next room for me to paint is the living room and my son's room, in that order. I can't wait until my son's room is finally done. Anyone wanna help? LOL

So over 10 days has past and no posts? Well, alot has happened to me since the last post. I will just list them instead of writing all the details.

• I got pulled over by a NY State trooper on Saturday afternoon (7/21)
• Because of a lapse on our car insurance (I forgot to send the check and geico cancelled the insurance)
• I got pulled over again by a NY state trooper on Saturday night (7/21)
• Because the radar picked up my cancelled insurance.. What luck do I have???
• I do have some luck b/c both cops didn't give me a ticket, jut a warning.
• They told me to take care of that lapse Monday morning at DMV.
• Tuesday morning, I went to DMV and paid the lapse. $160.00 because I didn't have car insurance for 20 days. $8 a day... My gosh!!!!
• I feel good now that I won't get pulled over by anyone :)
• Thursday evening, hubby gets pulled over by a NY state trooper.... What luck!!!! Geez, leave us alone already!
• Ok, he has luck b/c he also didn't get a ticket just a warning.
• Why did he get pulled over when I paid DMV $160??? Well, apparently I have to pay $160 for EACH vehicle that is under hubby's name. WHAT????
• Friday morning, I go to DMV and pay the $160 to get everything legal now.
• Total penalty costs: $320.00! Ain't life a bitch sometimes!
• Driving without worry from the NYS troopers: Priceless.....LOL Well, with the exception of speeding..hehehehehehehehehehe
• 7/28- I drove home with a flat tire without even knowing it until I got home 35 minutes later.... OMG!!! I'm in need of a new car; Definitely! Anyone want to donate? =)

So, you see. I've been quite busy with life and its tribulations.... What can I say; Shit happens!

Hope August brings us great luck. Wish us luck :)

Back again from the real world

Here I am, drinking my cafe con leche and eating a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese. I also got my "friend" today. I feel so awful, moody, tired, bitchy, just-want-to-lay-down-and-flip-thru-channels & I feel like doing shit today. You know what? I can't do nothing. I have my daughter's speech therapist coming at 11:15am and I have to clean up the normal messes my 2 yr. old makes. I try to clean every morning and every night but last nite wasn't a good night. I felt to miserable and now I know why.

I've been away from blogging for a bit b/c I've been reading other blogs. There's alot of blogs that are so interesting. I can't keep away from them. Hubby gets upset b/c sometimes I would rather read blogs then spend time with him... It's not that I don't like spending quality time with my hubby, I love it. I love that alone time with him. We don't get much of that since we have 3 active kids.

Anyway, things have happened in the last two weeks. Hubby took our 8 & 10 yr. old camping with some cousins (it was just overnight), we started cleaning our basement and found mold down there (yukk) & my MIL is finally gone. Hubby admitted to me that he hates when people are over. I don't know why. I like having people over here most of the times. I get lonely being here with the kids ALL DAY LONG. But that is what happens when you're a SAHM :)

Here are some pics of them camping:

The orange tent is ours

Here they are roasting marshmallows(Hubby is not in the pic)

August 2nd

What is up with all this blog stuff????? I decided to write a blog b/c I no longer keep a journal. My hand gets tired if I write too much..lol. Also, it is my time to vent when things around here get a little too crazy for me. I am 31 years old, I have 3 kids and I've been married for 10 years. Been with my husband for almost 16 years. Wow, when I look at that I am amazed. It doesn't feel that long but when I look at it, it does..Does that make sense? I don't know. I love my husband alot. It's hard to show it when I am over my head with my kids and all, but I can't see myself with any other man. He is like my left arm. My kids can have my other limbs..lol I am so used to him and yet, I can still be shy around him. I don't think that makes sense either.

Anyway, today is Wednesday and my son and I are the only ones that are up this morning. I have to go to the library and take my 7 year old daughter to the doctor's for a physical. I have to wash some work clothes for hubby and cook dinner.

That is my life pretty much everyday. Dealing with kids is not a easy job. I have 3 and someone once told me having the third child should be the easiest but it's not. My older two always bicker and nip-pick at things with each other and it drives me mad. Since I stay home with the kids hubby thinks when he gets home, it's off-duty daddy to him. I don't expect him to wash clothes, clean the bathrooms, clean the floors or even take the kids a bath. What I do expect is a little help with the kids once he unwinds from his hectic day. I don't mind letting him have a 1/2 hour to an hour to himself. What's not fair is him saying hi to the kids for 5 minutes and then run off to his computer for 3-5 hours straight leaving the kids whining b/c they miss their daddy and their daddy doesn't want to spend time with them b/c his game is more important then his kids. The game will always be there but kids grow up. I don't want my son thinking that is normal for a father b/c it's not. My father was always an active dad and I loved him for that. While my mom cooked dinner, my dad would be there with my sister and I either reading a book or even playing cards. I think he did that to get us out of my mother's hair while she cooked. Now with my hubby, he thinks when I cook, it's his turn to get away and play with his computer. Like I don't need assistance with the kids while I cook. OMG, he thinks that cooking is fun for me? I cook b/c I love home-cooked meals and I don't like to order out. It's too damn expensive. YKWIM? Sometimes he amazes me the way he is with the kids. I know he didn't grow up with a father but my dad never grew up with one either. He needs to learn what is most important to him. His family or his gaming needs.

I'm planning to go back to work but the only thing that is holding me down is my baby. She's 16 months old and I feel as though I have to give her at least 2 years at home with mommy like the other two. Looking at all the bills has been hard for me though lately b/c I know I have to make money for the family but I don't want my daughter to be unhappy. I know it sounds crazy but I feel if she is home, she'll be happier b/c when it comes to naps, she is very comfy in her bed. Now, if she goes to day care, I feel as though she won't be as comfy and when it's time to go home after she's picked up, she'll be a terror at home. So, all and all, I have alot of reasons why I stay home.

Update: Since this post, things have been much easier and hubby is very helpful. Thank God.
