I'm patting my own back

I have got some MAJOR cleaning done today. I am going to list it all so you can see just how busy i've been. It's okay, you can pat me on the back too *wink* Yeah, this is a total selfish post, but it's worth it!

*put away all the laundry I washed and folded last night (HUGE accomplishment!)
*cleaned Jack's room
*straightened both bathrooms
*cleaned all of my kitchen, including sweeping and mopping
*cleaned the playroom (organized too!)
*cleaned the living room
*vaccumed the ENTIRE house
*cleaned my bedroom which never gets enough attention
*the girls actually cleaned their own bedrooms today - MAJOR plus!!
*cleaned my closet - it soooo needed it.

WHEW! I'm tired. It's only 12:45 now too. I now have to shower while the kids are napping and having quiet time, because I have a HOT date tonight! woohoo!

I am sick of the rain

That pretty much sums it up. Sick. Done. Finished. I want it to end. It has probably rained here about 80% of the whole month of June. Even better news? There is rain in the forcast for the next 10 days! That's right folks. 10 days. 10 freaken days of blissful rain.

I have a yard project that I have been working on for 2 weeks because I can never get out there because of the rain. When I DO actually get out there, I only have a small amount of time because the rain will start again.

Okay, don't get me wrong. I love rain. I love how green it makes everything. I love not having to water my lawn. But come on! GIVE. US. A. BREAK! I have 3 little kids who miss being able to play out there!

Where does she get it from?

Being funny. I know she doesn't get it from me! Chloe has come out with 2 of the funnies things ever, so I just have to share.

Funny #1
We were at the inlaws for dinner on Sunday and talking about Bob Barker retiring from The Price is Right. Sad. I know. Well I am saying something to the fact of "Well, he's 83 years old now, he needs to be...." I was just about to say something like: sitting by the pool drinking margaritas when Chloe pops in and says, "DEAD!" Yes, we all laughed till we cried.

Funny #2
That same evening, it was so nice outside that we decided to take a walk. We're walking, talking and there are all kind of birds around us just churping away. So I start to whistle back at them. Chloe turns to me and says, "Wow mom! I didn't know you could speak bird!" Yes dear, there is SOO much you don't know about me.

She is a riot.

Hard Drive Fried

Got up this morning to seeing that my desktop hard drive is fried. Gone. Wont come back up. UGH!
We tried and tried to get it to work and got nothing. Went to best buy to get a new one and it is now 11:11 P.M. at night and I'm FINALLY back online. Had to reinstall EVERY.LITTLE.THING. Talk about a PITA.
The sucky thing about it. We had over 2G of music and probably as many pictures *sigh*
We're going to have a friend of ours who knows alot about computers to see if he can recover any of the stuff that was on there. UGH UGH UGH

America's Got Talent?

Okay, once again this year i've got sucked a little into this show. I am easily sucked it, I can tell you that much right now. Although, let me point out that I am NOT going to continue to watch this show. Do you want to know why? I really don't think that America's got a whole lot of talent! There are some who are out there, I admit, that really and truly does have talent. If you were to watch this show though, you will find that there are some really funky people out there in the good ol' USofA.
An overweight black guy that thinks he is rico swave'?
Come on folks. Do you think the rest of us Americans who KNOW that we don't have talent want to watch you come on TV and undress in front of us and scare our children?
I'll admit that there were some on there that I enjoyed. Like the group of dancers and the guy who could play a mean Sax....but the show was really lacking alot. Don't you agree?
I won't be watching anymore though. Good luck america. May the talent be with you.

Crazy drivers

I can't stand them. Especially the really pushy ones that think they need to come up all in your business. I am minding my own buisness, most likely speeding and they still come up and think they need to ride my butt.
Take today for example. I am driving and there is this guy that is just up the road from my in his work truck. I see him riding everyones butts, having to slam on the brakes and he's weaving in and out of traffic. Yeah, that'll make you get there a whole lot faster buddy. We are both making a left hand turn (it was a double lane turn) so I was in one lane and he was in the other. Well, in the middle of the turn, he tried to come over in MY lane. Totally tried to cut me off or run me off the road. I was pissed. Hello! Stay in your own lane!!
Note to jerk driver: Pay back is a B****! I got in front of him and blocked him behind me and the car next to me. I just stayed really close right beside that car so he couldn't get buy us *hahahahhahahahah* We stayed like that for a good 3 miles until he turned off the road.
But MY GOSH! Why do people have to drive like that? I do not understand where they are coming from.
Okay, rant over. Carry on.

Guess Who??

Oh my dear old blog,

I know that I have neglected you. SHAME ON ME!
It has been such a busy couple of months. Having 3 kids as some of you know, is hard hard work. But that is no excuse. I always find times to surf on eBay, craigslist, my message board, so sure I could find a couple of minutes out of my day to take care of you. I am sorry. From the bottom of my heart I am sorry. I am going to try and do better.
It is funny how sometimes life gets in the way and you just forget. NO! I didn't forget you. How could I ever forget you my dear and precious blog. I, um, just forget to write in you, thats all.
*sigh* No, I am NOT cheating on you. How come it always comes to that? There is no other blog in my life. Only you. *sings* Only you......could me.....me feel this way.... Okay. I'll stop. But only for you. I will write the world tomorrow.
Yeah, I know. You'll have to see it to believe it. I'll prove you wrong. Just you wait!

Your Beloved,

Colleen
