HA HA made you look!!!!! Ok seriously so in the middle of my break down the other night ( at 2:30 in the a.m.) My hubby actually ask if I want another child!!!! Is he crazy??? Insane?? Think I can find a good shrink somewhere to help him?? Anyone know any??
I was just wanting a little sympathy for my little baby growing up. Why is it men feel like they have to fix things.. He knew he could fix that one and was more than willing to try but could not help me with Luke growing up. What every time A milestone is hit we have another child. Do I look like old mother hubbard??? Seriously... I love my hubby more than anything, he is wonderful, he is always trying to make me happy. I know in his mind he was doing the right thing. hmmm I wonder if I have a bigger breakdown if I can get my farm??? Maybe I should start making holes in my house?? Ok thats probably overboard.. Ok thats a lot overboard ..
I just wish I could freeze frame time and keep them safe and small.. Not gonna happen huh.. They have to grow up and we enjoy each stage more and more than the last. I love watching them develop into little people but, I am going to miss my baby. Thank God I have another year before I have to hand him over to the school system. Oh how I would love to keep homeschooling, but they are cursed with a adhd mom and we would never finish a lesson. We sure would have alot of fun.

The BEST homeschool group EVER!!!
Have I ever told you guys that I really do have the best group of friends that I share our homeschool experiences with. They are totally awesome. We have soo much fun. Our group is better than your group .. I mean seriously what other group can you call teaching your child how to do a shot a school function?!?!? Ok I guess that needs a little explanation. So we went to eat today as a group after our wonderful day at the farm. (more abut that in a minute) after lunch they bring complimentary shots of alcohol for the mommys for dessert and cute little Shirley Temples for the kiddos in shot glasses, looked like a good learning opportunity to me, I mean we are suppose to be preparing them for life. This is a very important part of collage. right??? I know I know mother of the year award here I come!!!!
THE FARM
The farm was awesome, We went to a goat farm today and the kiddos had a chance to learn all about how goats were raised and got to pet the goats and such. Then they had the chance to go meet the mama goats, the ones that give milk. They were much bigger than your standard goat. They had a great time, they learned how the goat was milked and even got to touch the milking machine and fell the suctioning power. They learned about Whey and how it was made, They watched as the goats were feed the y whey. Those goats were all over it. and they learned about goat cheese and how it is made. Now having a child who can not stand cheese of any type. Wanted to try the goat cheese. He thinks he might like it, the verdict is still out. It was a great experience. Lukas has told everyone he has seen today about the goats and the cheese. It really made me want to pack up and move to a farm. I can so see me living somewhere like that. What an awesome experience. See why I love this group. That is something we would have never found on our own.. Our homeschool group is awesome. 
ahhh the sounds of asthma machines which means 10 whole minutes of ahhhh
What is that sound you say?? I say the sound of bliss... The sound of 10 uninterrupted minute...The sound of 2 little boys connected to walls and they can't move or fuss... Yep, Its nice and quiet around here!! Does that make me a bad mommy???
I think I have a problem
Ok I know all you people out there who know me are going "it took you this long to figure that out".. seriously I think I need to go to BA ( bloggers anonymous) .. Ok stop laughing I am serious. Last night I was dreaming of what I was going to blog today. How weird is that.. and here is the ting I only remember snippets of it so I can't even use what I was dreaming about. Which really stinks because I know I was on a big ole soap box about something but don't remember what..
so If any of you other fellow bloggers out there ( and you know who you are) want to join me in this endeavor come on... Hi, My name is MeLissa and I have a blogging problem.

4 day weekend and its cold!!!
Ok... just to set the record straight I was so looking forward to a 4 day weekend. We had it all planned out. Friday we were going to play and go to the movies and pack, Saturday we were going to go to Landry's basketball game and then head out of town for 3 day of mud running and good old fashion family fun. So the first kink in this way to thought out plan was when our friends called Friday and said they had to skip.. Why you ask.. Because the kid ( who got the Flu shot) now has the flu... YUCK... Yep your right your not going with us. ( that is me being a supportive, loving friend) .. Not to be too foiled with our plans, we said ok no biggie we are still going. Then what do you know the weather man LIED to us.. Out and out LIED.. not very nice Mr. Weather man. Have you ever tried to tell a 7 year old his trip has been cancelled because the mud he was sooooo looking forward to is now frozen mud... Not fun!!!
Ok so super mom to the Rescue. That's right she can think fast, she can modify, she can cram a lot of crap into a 4 day weekend!!! So here it is......
Thursday ... Kids get out of school at 1:30.. Toad ( that would be the husband) doesn't get off work until 8:00... hmm what to do what to do... movie nope too short... hmm BONKERS.. yep BONKERS sounds great ... SO 4 kids loaded up and we are off to Bonkers. First stop half price book so mommy can get a book on what to do with boy #1 .. Then off to Bonkers..
This place is AMAZING!!!!! we LOVED it!! It was a huge indoor playground. We were there almost 4 hours. Yep 4 hours of entertainment for $5 a piece!! gotta love that!!! It is their new favorite place. There was maybe 10 other kids in there. I got to sit and read and they ran until they were about to fall over. Ok they ran until 6:30 when they decided they had to eat. So off to cici B/c where else can you feed 4 hungry kids for $15 !!!
Friday.. Time to build the dendrites...
Those of you who know me know I am obsessed with learning/teaching my children. If we have an extra day of school we are off to a play, the symphony, doing some type of science experiment or at a museum. Friday seemed like a good day to go to the science place. Its a Children's Museum in fair park. We love the ft. Wroth Children's Museum but they are closed. So Off to fair park. It was ok .. not great .. I was very underwhelmed. Landry did learn a little about gravity and light. Luke not so much. Landry figured out that the "reason airplanes fly is the air goes around the wings and pulls the airplane up instead of air going under and pushing it up."
They both had a great time with the monster bubbles, so did daddy.
Saturday... Basketball game... They won!!! they always win!! ( It's Upwards.. They don't keep score) Off to the boat show in Ft. Worth. It was fun. Made us want a boat. Gave us some ideas to do with our/my dads motor home. Home to go to church ( yep on Saturday night, I'm still under the delusion we are going 4 Wheeling in the morning)
Sunday... Wind Chill of 19 degrees.. hmmm .. Rethink the whole getting wet and going fast in the weather concept.
What to do ... EKKK .. What to do.... Grandpa is here to go 4 Wheeling .. What to do... BONKERS !! Yep load up 4 kids, 1 teenager, 1 Old man and off to bonkers. ( ok so my dad is not THAT old, he did get in the playground and play tag with the kids and myself and actually caught me several times. Not real sure what to say about that.. We play another 4 hours!!! go home and watch the game.
Monday... Take kids to Dr. Ear infections. 3 out of 4 .. not good... Oh well.. Run a few errands and home again home again. That's it in a nut shell. So next 4 day weekend better be pretty weather b/c this entertaining them all the time stuff.. not so much....
