Ivan would call this a Half Ass kinda morning:)

Ivan actually swears very rarely, So I can't think of how he phrases it right this second? I say what he really means is "Don't do things half Ass!" So a joke around here when a lot is going on and nothing is getting done is "Yes, Ivan, I'm a half Asser. That's exactly what this morning feels like. Started mowing the back yard on foot... good exercise right? I ran out of gas. Started picking up dog poo, and for whatever reason I stopped to unload the truck. I carried 5 50lb bags to the barn (good exercise) why have the boys do it, right? I dropped the 6th one in the driveway. It's sitting there now waiting for me to sweep it up and put in bucket to drag back to barn. Then I raked up a whole bunch of sticks and straw in yard that looked trashy! But now the pile is sitting there waiting for me to scoop it up. Then I saw the recycle buckets overflowing all over. So I found some boxes and separated it all out into 4 piles. Now I'm hungry and have to eat, then I have to finish dinner b/c we are all eating in motion tonight (no McDonalds for this family!) So, Hmmm, maybe I won't want to be here when Honey Bear wakes up! LOL

Little house on the Prairie(ing) it today!

I'm going to play Little House on the Prairie today... just like when I was a young lad:) Brought kids to school, came home cleaned up kitchen and switched laundry. Went to barn, collected eggs, put down fresh bedding, fed and watered chickens. Came inside, swept floor. Then facebooked and blogged for a good while (not very little house of me.) Now I'm going to P90X still not very little house of me:) THEN I'm going back outside to try and rebuild two rabbit hutches and re-staple gun the wire that's falling off the chicken coops! Very Laura and Pa of me don't ya think. I'm sure they had a staple gun in 1850:) If not I'm sure they wish they did! HA, I make even myself laugh even if no one else does. Then I'll start dinner and hop in the horse and buggy to collect kids and head to track meet! See-ya!

Easter Bunny doesn't bring a lot of candy to our house.... Always something small and fun. This year matching baseball mits as Jaden has had some big trouble using dads mit. LOL Had no idea how much they would actually enjoy them... played everyday since!

IKEA for a quick 2 hour shopping spree and the boys had to sleep with my rugs all the way home:)

He did it! That's my Boi!

Last weekend marked Spencer's first serious step into prepping for college football. The NIKE Chicago football combine took place. I dropped Spencer, Jeshuran and Raesean off on my way to a girls weekend and let them venture around Chicago independently for Sat and Sund. They all said it was a great experience, they wish they could practice a couple of weeks and do it again (now that they know what to expect.) However, for a practice run they all did an awesome job!!! Spencer ranked 132 out of roughly 900 athletes!!! Yea Ky!

Now on to the rest of my goings on....
I have a Junior in HS running track and playing Lacrosse (No idea how many practices and games that is in a week, WAY to many!)
A 7th grader running track and riding horses. (4 practices a week and or 2 track meets and 2 practices) Tutoring twice a week.
A 2nd grader playing soccer (1 game a week and 2-3 practices)
A 1st grader playing soccer (1 game 1 practice)
A resident that has to be picked up EVERY Wed from counseling right at the same time as the kids from school and practice.
A husband that works fulltime evening/night shift.... no not always available to help with transport (not his fault)

Hmmmm If I add all of this up that's approx 17 places I need to be on any given week. Seeing as though I'm only 1 person..... This may prove to be quite a complicating spring:)

PS somewhere in there I'm supposed to watch all these games, feed all these people and wash all there clothes?????

AND AFTER:)

Before.....

OH, and lookie there

Looking down and saw that it's 0333! Imagine that! lolololololol Work is great this time of morning...

It's beginning

This Sunday marks the beginning of Spencer's adventure into college and then perhaps the pro's. He will be spending his sunday at U of M's Highschool football combine. There will be coaches from around the country and some of the best known HS prospects in attendance. The will be getting timed and measured. Pictures taken, data collected and posted on a site somewhere where all college coaches can look them up. Then next month he will travel to Chicago to attend an even bigger NIKE highschool football combine. We've been on this athletic ride/dream for many years... However; this is going to be an entire new playing field. My baby boi has grown up, he's going to be faced with making decisions that will effect the rest of his life. He's going to chase his dream and find that he can do EVERYTHING he's always wanted. Growing pains are ruff on a momma. I'm going to cry and laugh and pray and cry and be filled with excitement all along this ride!!!! I love you Spencer F Kyller and I know you'll make your family proud!!!!!!! Enjoy yourself and remember each and every moment along the way!!!!! One day you'll be 40 and wishing you were 18 all over again... I'm not one of those persons that quickly says (I'd never go back) I'd go back and do it ALL OVER AGAIN! I had a lot of fun and made a lot of memories......

??????

I'm really really really trying hard to figure out how all my settings changed. Why are my entries no longer chunked together 1 month at a time, in a neat file down the right hand side. Why is there 8 entries and then abruptly it switches to 2 years ago at my first entry... GggGGgrrrrr What the heck???

What the heck?

janet please come help me figure out how I messed up my settings?????

whoops, that one was to small to see how he's grown!

Santa WHAT were you thinking?

OK, we went to pick out our most perfect puppy! Jaden was going to be sooooo surprised this Christmas! I instantly was drawn to the runt and to the blue eyes beauty! Never had I seen a sky blue eye on a dog. The spooky white ones that Husky's have, but not sky blue! I figured and said out loud "he's coming to a very unique household and he's incredibly unique, so he must be the one for us!" Little did I know the blue eye must make him stupid. I don't think he'll ever potty train. He's cost us an emergency surgery, endless accidents, fights over who's turn it is to take him out etc etc etc... What was Santa thinking. Oh I know, I remember now.... He was thinking... He sure is damn cute for a Beagle!!!!
