Yes, the wheelchair is a good idea......But I don't HAVE to like it Okay? Okay.
I really wish I had the money to fix this computer, it takes me FOREVER to write out a post and I can visit most of my friends but leaving a comment, well that's another story.....I'm sorry.
The youngest boy isn't sick or at least he doesn't have the flu.....Thank God!
School is back on the 31st again.....THANK GOD! I need my days back, like I said I have a TON to do before the trip and trying to get it done with these boys is all but impossible, I have tried to put a movie in and just let them watch it.....I ended up with a broken closet door, sat them down with books I ended up  with shelves that were wall mounted, no longer on the wall, and oh yeah! No one had any idea what happened.....Yes they get bored very easily.
I have come to dread the younger one's giggle, it almost always means there is something I have to clean up, fix or lecture about...Honestly I beginning to think I should charge TRIPLE for the week after they have spent a four day weekend with their Mother, I swear she feeds them sugar the whole time and then she dumps them on me to fix the damage.
Even though I have really missed Tessa, I don't blame her for high tailing it to my Mother's for the past week.
Have a great Friday all!

Friday night I went to sleep at 7 pm and woke up at 3 am, didn't get back to sleep until 11pm Saturday night.
Saturday consisted of cleaning house, trying to get a nap (which didn't happen thanks to animals.)
Also the nap didn't happen because Tessa has discovered "Dance Dance Revolution" and I just couldn't tell her not to play it because yes it IS a video game, BUT it is also a really good work out, (To play it you have to dance on a control pad.) So yeah I will give up a nap for her to get some excorsize.
When the time came I got ready to go and meet the family for my niece Dana's Birthday dinner, it was her 20th birthday on Thursday.......
I just realized something......The girl grandchildren in this family are SPOILED there are 3 girl and 6 boy grandkids. The girls however ALWAYS get at least 3 birthday celebrations sometimes more!.....It might have something to do with the fact that all but one of the boys are older then the girls. I don't know but that is how it is.
Anyway, we met up for dinner.
The food was great but the service was horrible so horrible in fact I came very close to making a rather large scene about it, but since my brother was the one paying the bill I settled for just telling the manger off.
It all started with her anyway, when we first got there she told us that the only tables she could give us were two booths side by side....Well first off my brother (all 6'3" and 350 lbs of him) doesn't fit in a booth and second we didn't want to be separated like that, we pointed this out to her and she got snippy ans said "Well you should have made reservations."
THAT got my brother ticked.....Which is really hard to do, he is the most even tempered person in the world and he will avoid a scene at all costs but this ticked him off because he HAD tried to make reservations on Monday but was told that they didn't take them. She looked at him like a second head had sprouted on his left shoulder.
I said "Why don't we go to The Keg across the street, we got great service the last time." And we did. So good that I went back and gave our waitress a thank you card and praised her to the manger.
My Brother said, "Dana isn't here yet, if the wait for another table isn't too long we will stay."
I said, "Your too nice...."
Dana and her friend got there we all had a drink and were shown our table.
Waited FOREVER for our starters, one was forgotten but since our main meals were coming soon we let it go, good thing they took it off the bill.
Like I said the food was great, almost worth the hassle.
I think Dana's friend was a little stunned....LOL!
Because even if you are warned our family get together's can be a little over whelming.....LMAO!
They are loud and boudreies can get teetered on (but never crossed.) and you are more then likely to have a completely different meal then what you ordered.
Everyone gets something different and shares, it is very common for people to switch meals completely.
I ordered a Bilini(sp) basiclly a rum soaked peach slushy because I have never had one, well anyway I sitting there talking with my niece and her friend, they are telling me about their wild night at the Roxy, (here in Canada you are legal at 19.) I go to take a sip and my drink is GONE......I look over and there is my Mother Sucking back MY drink!
This cracks up the whole table because one, my Mother doesn't drink and two I just shrugged my shoulders and snagged a passing waiter and ordered a Rye and ginger ale, (I wasn't really digging the rum anyway.)
All in all it was a good night.
We all ate too much almost drank too much....LOL!
 I learned last night.
All the woman in my family are very much a like.
We all (but my Mother) hate chocolate.
We all (but my Mother) drink Rye and ginger ale.
We all (but my Mother) like spicy food.
We all (inclueding my Mother) have quick tempers.

I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL Easter!

I don't have any extra kids for FOUR whole days! woot woot!
Then again I don't have Tessa either... She went to her Grandma's Wednesday night and I believe she's coming back Saturday, not really sure because our computer isn't working too well and Grandma's is a kick butt one, (what she needs one like that for, I don't know.) I may not see her for the rest of the break...LOL!
It's Spring....Not that you'd know it around here by how cold it is still, yesterday was REALLY cold, I honestly thought I would wake up to some evil white stuff.......Very glad I didn't..
I have to say I'm happy March is almost over, although  this year hasn't been as bad as it has been in the past, at least not for me.
I know a couple of people that March has been quite nasty too, (((Mo)))) and (((Pen)))
What is it about this month? It's like March comes in and kicks your butt for a while then leaves you to lick your wounds.
Is it because it's tax season and everybody is just a little cranky?
For me March has always brought some sort of sadness, heartache, or some other thing to make me dread the month....Silly I know but true.
This year however it hasn't been that bad other then the normal stuff that goes on when you have a teenager......
If I had to choose something that is bashing my head in, I would say that it's...................I'm lonely......
GOD!
That looks and sounds SO pathetic!
There are people out there with REAL problems, and I'm sitting here whining about being lonely?
Boy! Do I need to get a life!

Spring Break has started here.
What I'm wondering is.....Where the heck IS Spring?!?
It is still SO cold, today it rained and it felt more like sleet......I can't wait for California!
Can you believe it? The trip is only 2 or 3 weeks a way, (first or second week of April, my sister hasn't made up her mind yet.)
There is so much I have to do I don't know if that is going to be enough time.......Well it would be if I would quit getting distracted....LOL!
Since I can still use my computer with Firefox I'm not going to take it in to get wiped until after the trip.
Like I said at the start Spring break has started here, that means I have the boys full time......I may cry!
The youngest boy, has really been a handful lately and he has started wetting himself again, I believe it is an attention getting thing.... Because I have been watching a friends baby a couple of days a week for the last couple and when ever the baby is here he starts wanting to be picked up and really slips back into old behaviors, that I have spent the last year getting him out of.
When I first got him he was 6 but had the speech and comprehension of a 3 year old but, over the last year I have worked with him and he has shown real progress but, in the last month he has gone back to the baby talk and like I said wetting his pants, even though the bathroom is 2 feet from their play area (I arranged it that way because all 3 boys have had "Bathroom issues" at one point or another.)
He has also picked up his older brother's habit of lying, while this shows that he his using his imagination and starting to think for himself, I can't let it go....
You see I have watched the older brother for 3 years, and the lying habit was already firmly ingrained, to this day when ever I ask the older one a question the first thing out of his mouth is a lie, I have told and shown him over and over again that the truth is always the best policy, I can't seem to break him of the habit.
I have told him over and over again that if he's done something wrong depending on what it is he might get a lecture or a time out but if he lies about it the punishment will be longer and something he really doesn't like....It doesn't matter what I do I just can't break him of the habit....It's very frustrating!
Anyway enough of that....
I'm beginning to think I REALLY need this trip, going somewhere I've never been doing things I've never done. It's almost too bad that I'm going with my sister and daughter.....LOL! I'm joking but it would be nice to be able to REALLY let loose and not be me for a little while....

My computer is still on the fritz but, if I use firefox and not Internet Explorer I can still do what I need to do, I can also visit most of my friends on here, sadly there are some I can't.
Tomorrow I'm going to the computer shop just up the street to see how much they will charge me to clean my hard drive.
Hopefully it won't be too much.
Life is as always around here....I have to say I am getting tired of watching these boys again or more like I'm tired of being stuck in the house.
But, because of my hip getting a job outside the home isn't an option, although with the new bed it isn't as bad as it was, I still can't walk all that far without my cane.....I hate that! It makes me feel so OLD! But not as old as being told that I need a replacement.....(I almost cried).
Funny part is, in the same breath as telling me I need a hip replacement the Dr. also said that they most likely won't do it because I'm too active and the replacement won't las as long as it should and they can only replace it once or twice then I'm out of luck....Nice choice huh? Sit and waste away in a chair but be mostly pain free. OR keep walking in pain and keep my freedom, decisions  decisions!
Oh! And the best part?
I can't get an Ortho  appointment  for a year.....meh. Not happy.
Really haven't been for a while now and I don't know how to fix that....
I'm going to sit in the corner and contemplate my navel.
