Super Mom... NOT!!!!

I am going crazy, my daughter Mady, ( YeAH THATS RIGHT) is in the kitchen with me, I was trying to clean it, I brought her favorite toys in so she could play, what does she do, she finds the "Butt Paste" and trys to eat it. I gave her some goldfish to eat, what does she do? She puts them in in the vacuum ( don't ask), I ask her to be quiet, what does she do? She yells "HI" over and over at the top of her little lungs. As I write this she is doing some sort of toddler lord of the dance on our laminent floor. Ben is sleeping, for how long.. we shall see.

Well, Ben was woken up by  the incredible dancing yelling Mady.... It is now 6:24 p.m. and my Mom came over and took Mady, Nick, and Heather out to dinner, Ben fell asleep and I am enjoying the quiet.  I should finish cleaning the kitchen, I should do some laundry, I should pick up in the living room, my brain says yes, my body says SAY WHAT? 

How do those Super Mom's do it? There houses are always clean, they look there absolute best and they are pleasant to be around!!!! Growing up I imagined myself to be like leave it to Beavers Mom...... The plain and simple truth is I am more like Marylin Manson.... or Charles Manson take your pick...... My house is never clean, I never look my best and well, lets face it, I am a grump! ......... SIGH!

Biden look a like

SIGH...... Ben is sleeping in his own bed now, It makes me sad, I loved having him in the room with me, pretty soon he will be off to college and I will be all alone... ok so I am being dramatic, I am a little sad though....  

Anywho, our neighbors across the street put an Obama sign in there yard, my son plays with there son, when there son came over that night to play, my son made up a game called "republicans and Democrats" I looked out the window just in time to see my son attacking hm with a stick yelling "STUPID DEMOCRAT" Perhaps in our home we should discuss politics when the children are in bed") These neighbors are the ones who I think gave me that rude note a few months a go concerning our dog.... Typical.... Typical.... Obama probably put them up to it... ha ha... kidding.  

I think I will be Sarah Palin for Halloween, although I look a lot more like Joe Biden ( Sigh) Nick and Heather really want me to dress up this year, Maybe I will just do my hair and make up for once, that could be my costume. :) Well I am off to bed with out my little Ben, my dreams have been political lately.. no more Fox news for a while... 

Hope

When I was about 8 years old, I can remember having to watch Ronald Reagan give a speech on the television, I remember being upset because we only had two channels and he was on both of them, so alas I had to miss different strokes ( What you talking about Willis?) For some reason I stayed with my Papa and watched the speech, being 8 I had know idea who this man was, but listening to him speak gave me such a good feeling inside, being grown up, I can now describe that feeling with one word, HOPE!  

I was reminded of that feeling the other night as I watched Sarah Palin give her speech at the RNC,  after she was done I felt HOPE! 

Mormon Democrats

I have been blog hopping, going on other peoples blogs that I don't know, Most are LDS, and I have to say, Mormon Democrats are strange to me, almost as strange as being a gay republican, I don't understand how one could be LDS and be voting for Obama, he is for abortion, for crying out loud! he is also friends with a known terrorist who hates his own country ( AMERICA) I am not big into politics, but Mormon Democrats are strange to me, that's all I am saying.

Don't be a Sour puss!

I think it was three years a go that I was leaving my little Ashlee ( I was a nanny) and returning home to Grand Junction, That was a really hard time, I loved ( still do ) that little girl, but felt like it was time to be back in Colorado, now three years later I am married with 4 children ( my little niece has joined our family) and I feel like I have been a wife and Mom forever! Sometimes I feel like I have no time to myself, it gets a little mundane, but then I have to stop and think that it won't be this way forever, and when I look back I will miss this time when my children are young and innocent, that is hard to remember when I am trying to cook, do homework and am listening to screaming babies all at the same time, but I am blessed beyond words and am very grateful for my little family. Soooo.. now that I have sounded like a sappy nut, on to my real topic for my blog.....

Sourpusses, yep that's right I said sourpusses! Today in sacrament meeting my wild but yet adorable niece Mady was trying to give kisses to the people behind us, and they just sat there with stoic faces, and not only that, they kept letting out sighs like they were annoyed. It would have creeped me out if they would have actually kissed her, but come on people acknowledge a cute little girl. Darn Sourpusses!!!! Ben had a good day at church, he is so cute I love that he looks for me, he is going to start sleeping in his own bed soon, it makes me sad I love having him in the room with me. I bet those sourpusses put there kids in there rooms at birth:(  DARN SOURPUSSES!!! :) 

BEN, MADY AND A LITTLE PROTIEN IN THE DESERT

Our little Benjamin turned three months yesterday, He celebrated by having a little to much formula to drink and partied in his bouncy till all hours in the morning.. ( my ill attempt at humor) I can't believe how much he is growing and learning, he holds his head up very well, and smiles and squeaks and rolls over and we love him so much! He has discovered his feet and they keep him quite busy:)

Another exciting thing happened yesterday, my Mom finally received permanent custody of my 14 month old niece Madysen, that is truly an answer to a lot of prayers, Mady's Mom is a Meth addict and a very disturbed girl, Mady has lived with my Mom pretty much since she was born.... We also love her very much and are grateful she is safe and in a loving environment:) Not to much else is happening, I am going 4 wheeling in the rhino tomorrow with my friend Katie... I can't wait to go speeding through the desert, wind in my hair, bugs in my teeth:)
