Happy 4th of July

I hope you all have a wonderfull 4th of July weekend! Be safe and have loads of fun!
I am preparimg to leave on the 8th and not coming back till 12th sometime late that day,I am taking 5 or 6 kids camping with me and 3 of them are my own..We are going to the lake and planning on having lots of fun..I will take some pictures while we are up there cause some of you have asked to see some..Remember my only camera is my cellphone....
I plan on having some posts to be up while i am gone .....

Getting ready to go camping next month

The kids have been home from school since may 21st..They finally go back to school on august 3rd...
I havent been able to get much done since they have been home-like shaving my legs has been one of those things! In July we are going camping up at the lake for like 4 1/2 days (no cellphone service and no computer)...
I bought a 4 person inflatable boat (its better than nothing)...i might be regeting that decsion but we will see about that..As usuall i am taking my 3 and 3 others..why? I have no idea!Maybe i am too nice? probably!
I know it be hot up at the lake, but at least we got a lake we can jump into to cool off..It has been over 100% in Arizona for a few months now, but now we can also include humidty cause they say the Monsoon season is here..If the Monsoon season is here, then where the hell is all of the rain? I haven`t seen 1 drop yet where we live!
We are getting ready to go camping soon..I have been addicted to facebook and twitter..Are you guys addicted to those places ? I know alot of people i know are..
If you would like to hook up at either those places, please drop me a line in the comment section or somewhere else in this blog..I will see what i can do...

the kids sharing a hospital bed

the kids were sharing a hospital bed while we were waiting for my father after his cancer treatments..since this picture, my father quit his treatments cause he couldn`t handle it anymore..Not sure what he is going to do next..He has stage 4 Melanoma cancer..He was taking Biological Therapy with Nelferion A..

Kids sharing a hospital bed

Crapola

Sorry i haven`t been around much lately..Too much has been going on..My father started his cancer treatments today at the VA in Tucson..He has stage 4 Melanoma cancer..I hope everything goes well with him, with him taking Biological Therapy..(kinda like chemo in a way)He will not lose his hair with this kind of treatment like you can in Chemo..

The kids got out of school on May 21 and started their Summer Vacation...Yippee! not! Two out of the three kids started summer school..The one who is not in summer school is the one i really wish was in summer school..Go figure..The reason why he is not going to summer school? The school told me cause he was too smart and did not need it..Oh hell, he does still need help with the reading and other things too. But he will not read with/to me so i really don`t know how he really is doing..He does go to the Special Ed Department a little bit during the day for some help..The only thing that calmed him down in the classroom was the Glider Chair the teacher had in her classroom..

Having a husband who is a truck driver is hard..You never know what the paychecks are going to be like-you can not depend on them at all..For the past month or two, his paychecks have been like $200 a week..How the heck can you pay your bills and buy food? You can`t! I am a stay at home mom of three kids..If i had a job, i would barely make enough to pay for a babysitter and still not get anywhere..Screwed one way or another the way you look at..

My Laptop died yesterday while trying to do this post..Apparently the fan quit in it,,I hope that doesn`t cost much to get it fixed-i really miss that computer alot..I feels like i lost my best friend..And if i hear somebody you should have bought a Dell one more time, i am going to scream and reach out to strangle them..My hubby and brother thought it was funny about the computer-of course i did not find it funny at all..I am there crying over the computer and drinking cause i was in Morning for the Computer..

On July 8th i am taking the kids camping to Apache Lake and will not be coming back till Late July 12th..As usuall i probably will be a few extra kids besides my own..My hubby will be at work as usuall being a truck driver..Truckdrivers work all the time and the pay is hardly nothing-they show up on time and the wharehouses have them sitting on their butts for days cause they were not ready..When the truck drivers are sitting on their butts waiting, they are not getting paid.They only get paid if they are moving, not sitting..

I wish i knew what i did to this computer i am using cause i cant get it out this italic handwriting..I am using a computer i dislike but it is better than nothing right now...

The weather forcasters have said the monsoon officaly started the other day..Ok, if it started the day, then where the hell is the rain we are supposed to get? And when it does rain, we get flooded where we live-it happens every year cause we live out in the Desert..good thing i have a high profile vehicle so i can get from point A to point B without hardly any problems, except i do get stopped all the time for having it cause the Border Patrol and the Sheriff`s Department think i have illegals or drugs on me..I am not that stupid to do anything like that..

Some Awards I had Received Awhile Back

I had received some awards awhile back from AngelBaby...sorry i didn`t get around to these sooner..busy with everything like with the kids and everything in general..At least they are up now..There may have been more, but these are what i have been able to find so far..
Thank you to my friend...If you want to know more about the awards and what they mean, please go to AngelBaby`s website and check them out..Thanks...

Happy Mother`s Day

Happy Mother`s Day to all mothers out there..Hope you enjoy your special day with your loved ones..If it was up to me, i wouldn`t be lifting a finger to do anything...Sit back and let everybody else do the work for you...

Lessons from the Easter Bunny

All I Need to Learn about Life I learned
from the Easter Bunny!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep you paws off other people's jellybeans.

Good things come in small-sugarcoated packages.

The grass is greener in someone else's basket.

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.

To show your true colors you have to come out of the shell.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

I have been really busy

I have been really busy lately with GirlScout cookies,the kids have had their spring break so i took them camping, my father having stage 4 Melanoma cancer, and parent teacher conferences...

I am really glad Girlscout cookie season is over,,But i still got cookies i need to sell..I can`t have all these cookies sitting in the house, i can`t eat them all....

During the kids spring break i took the kids camping..I had 5 kids and 3 of them were mine..I know i am brave...at 1 time my sone Christopher brought me a dead snake on a stick with no head..That thing ended up in the trash very quickly..Who knows how long that thing was dead for and i wasn`t going to find out either....the kids got to go swimming the whole time we were there...My hubby was not able to go camping at all cause he had to work being a truck driver and all...oh well..We all survived the trip..We were one for about 5 1/2 days up at Apache Lake which happens to be in Arizona where i live...

There was parent teacher conferences but i was not able to go this time..I was busy finishing alot of paperwork for Girlscout cookies season..I do know how the kids are doing, i keep in touch with the teachers and at the school most often anyways...

Last Thursday we went bowling for my sons cubscout troop at Bedroxx in Tucson..They also got to go behind the scenes to see how things worked..They all seemed to have a good time for the most part..I bowled to along with the kids and broke my thumb nail..It hurt alot and i miss it alot,,You can do alot with thub nails in your everyday life...

A few months ago we found out my father hsa stage 4 melanoma cancer..It started with what looked like a normal mole but it was not just a regular mole-it was cancerous..My father has had surgery to remove what they could, but the cancer is really down deep..The doctors can only go down so far to dig out the cancer..My father can`t have radiation-he has already had enough radiation he can have in hs lifetime from the time he had Prostate cancer...There are only two opitions left for my dad-chemo or some sort of shots..I have no clue what my father is going to choose, but i hope he oes well with whatever he decides to choose...

On Saturday`s here at my blog, i have Purple Saturdays..For more in fo about that, please look in previous posts about it and let me know if you would like to join..Thanks...

Did i forget to mention my birthday was March 31st?

You know you`re a mom when.....

1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're
equal.

2. You want to take out a contract on the kid who broke your child's
favorite toy and made him/her cry.

3. You have time to shave only one leg at a time.

4. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.

5. Your child throws up and you catch it.

6. Someone else's kid throws up at a party and you keep eating.

7. You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance.

8. You mastered the art of placing food on a plate without anything
touching.

9. Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out loud in
the lobby of the doctor's office, and you do it.

10. You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband
in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on the
kids.

11. You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your
child eats.

12. You can't bear the thought of your son's first girlfriend.

13. You hate the thought of his wife even more.

14. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual
shapes.

15. You fast-forward through the scene when the hunter shoots
Bambi's mother.

16. You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his
first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without
looking back the second month.

17. You can't bear to give away baby clothes -- it's so final.

18. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when
you say, "Not in your good clothes."

19. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.

20. You read that the average 5-year-old asks 437 questions a day and
feel proud that your kid is "above average."

21. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job," but you
know you wouldn't trade it for anything.
