OFF GROUNDED!!!

Grounding your kids can be very nice, for instance, if your kids are grounded on the weekend then you have a ready made baby sitter for the weekends!! But for once in 2 years all of my kids are off restriction, or grounding, all at the same time. It seems as though Har Bar has been grounded for 2 years straight! Well I guess you might say she is still grounded since she lost her Social Studies book last term and I got a bill for $65.00 for it. So she is trying to earn that money but I haven't kept her under lock and key while she is earning it. Here are some of the ways that she has been earning the money:

Baby Sitting and she kinda sucks at it, at least when she is tending her own siblings. She vacuums out my car. One time she wanted money to go to the movies and I told her to vacuum out the car and she did a pretty good job. So my car needed it and so I told her to do it again and she replied, "Just because I am good at it doesn't mean I have to do it everytime." So she vacuumed out the bug and did a terrible job, I don't know if she was trying to do that so I wouldn't ask her to do it again or if she is BLIND!!!

Any how if you have any toilets that need to be scrubbed or walks that need to be shoveled call Har Bar and she will come right over! $65.00 is gonna take her a year at the rate she is going at our house, because I pay on how good a job she does!!

CAN'T TOUCH----- MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Oh YEEEAAAHH BOOOYYYY, TO LEGIT----

Not to go to MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice for my Birthday!!! The Girls and I always do something fun to celebrate our Birthday's and we've done everything from Good Things Utah to Witches Night Out and Festival of the Trees. JoAnn said that we have to do something Fun for mine too. At first we were going to go to the Price is Right then instead maybe a Night in Park City and on to shopping. Nothing was falling into place, nothing felt right and now I know why. With some divine intervention I turned on the radio when I went to pick up my kids from school and I am listening to my favorite radio station Movin 100.7 and I hear it........


MC HAMMER and VANILLA ICE are coming in Concert and it is a day after my 29th Birthday so I call Vanessa and I am freakin out about because this is perfect, this is what we are going to do. The tickets go on sale soon and it will soon be official. This is going to be HUGE!!! DON"T BE HATIN BECAUSE YOUR JEALOUS!!!! PLAYA!!!

I'M OUTTA HERE, WORD TO YOUR MOTHA!!

What is all the HOOPLA about?

This may seem UNPATRIOTIC, but I don't understand why the whole world thinks that one man is going to change the world. Yesterday I was watching the inauguration of President Obama and I was amazed at the amount of people that showed up. Mainly because there was so much hype about it and I don't remember any of this happening for any of the Presidents that have been in office while I have been alive. I can't figure out why the world thinks that he is going to be able to fix all the problems in the world. There was so much OPTIMISM yesterday and I so want to get into that spirit. But most of my thinking is that our problems are WAY BIGGER than Mr. Obama is going to be able to fix. So hopefully those 2 million people know something I don't know and all the problems with the economy will just disappear!!!

GROUNDED!

So it was Parent Teacher or SEP conferences this week and everytime I pick up my kids from school on this day I say " Is there anything you want to tell me before we go see your teacher?" and they usually say no. This year Kaleb's friend Ivan got in my car and said, "Kaleb is going to be in so much trouble today." So I again asked Kaleb and he told me he got in trouble for talking. So fast forward an hour as we are leaving his SEP's......KALEB IS SOOOO GROUNDED!!!

So for undisclosed reasons he got grounded and lets just say it wasn't only because he was talking to much. So we get home and Jason and I took every possession of his away. Every Christmas present, his TV, his Nintendo DS, ETC. All day Friday he sits around and does NOTHING. And I asked him at the end of the day how being grounded was. Having anything and everything that he loves taken away from him. And he answers by saying, "You didn't take one thing that I love away from me." And I am thinking, What is it so I can take it away. And he answers with, "You, snuggling with you."





How can I still ground him with that answer you ask??? EASY, I just think back on that SEP conference!!!! Hopefully we NEVER have another Conference like this again!!

Dear Toothfairy. I know you aren't Real BUT......

So about 3 years ago Cheylula came home from school with a few TOUGH questions for me. She wanted to know what her friends big secret was about the Tooth Fairy. After about 5 days of me avoiding the question I let her in on it. And then she wanted to know about the Easter Bunny, Santa, etc. So I said, "Do you really want to know?" And of couse she did, so I enlightened her.

It has been a while since Chey lost a tooth because they are SNAGGLE TOOTH for about a year before they simply fall out of her mouth because she won't pull them out. WIMP, they don't even bleed when the fall out!!

So last night she finally had one fall out that we have been waiting for for about 6 months and she was really excited because it didn't hurt and she was gonna get a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I told her the Tooth Fairy doesn't come to her anymore. But when I woke up this morning this is what I found.....

FAKING IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE CHEYENNE!!! And what is up with the Spelling??? She definitely doesn't take after me in that department!!

New Hair Product- You should try it!!

Rian or Rainy as we call her is following in her Big Sister Har Bar's footsteps and venturing into the Beauty Business. But she is not copying other stylists. NO... she is blazing her own trails.Rian LOVES lotion. If you want to put some on her plan on her just taking a bath in it!
And she is proud of how beautiful she is when she is all done!
If she could she would put lotion on all day long!Who knows maybe I will get lucky and she will be a Plastic Surgeon or an Esthetician!!!
