It's Saturday, yahooo!

I am so glad that today is Saturday and yesterday is now just a memory!

The kids and I had to run some essential errands-- boring stuff like buying postage at the Post office, paying our taxes at the tax collector office, and stopping at Walmart for the kids "favorite" toothpaste.
I tried to plan ahead and set up each situation so that Shane would know what type of behavior was expected, but either I was using too many words -- or my words were not heard.
By about 2:40 I decided that I was DONE with being in public with the kids, I brought them home-- the two of them went outside and tried to "skate" on the sidewalk and driveway-- on our way home from our errands the news was talking about Freezing Rain-- (yet another reason to come home).
I decided that I would make dinner and cookies! Shane continued to be a pill at dinner time so he missed out on the pudding that was dessert. Shane commented "Well, pudding is bad for you so -- I don't really care! I'd rather play video games, at least they are healthy for you!"

So, anyway I am glad that it's Saturday....
YAHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I got to sleep in for a bit,
(I pretended to be sleeping and Shane was nice enough to go back to his room and leave me alone!)
We still have icy conditions outside so the kids are once again trying to ice skate on the sidewalk-- they are really excited when they come across any water that has frozen-- IT almost makes me wish that I lived in the country with a pond and I could let them "skate..."
and then I start thinking about how hard it is when you hit ice... and I am glad that we don't have a pond nearby !
This evening some really good friends' of ours are going to watch the kids-- OVERNIGHT!
Jerry has to work until about 4pmish and then his Christmas dinner is at 5--.
Our friends, Lynn and Debbie offered to take the kids and keep them overnight! They also might have two of their grand kids over-- the four kids are about the same ages and they usually play well together.
I am so excited I found a new outfit for $30.00 at Fashion bug... and I plan on being VERY pretty-- hair, make-up,nails the works!
Now, if the weather would just stay calm...
so that I don't worry about the road conditions!
Merry Christmas !
I know it's a bit early to be wishing this, but it's such a" feel good phrase" practice it as much as possible-- It makes me smile!

We go live to Findout More, on scene--

imagine if you will~

A reporter standing at the door-way to the bathroom, the camera looking over, the reporters' shoulder into the bathroom in question.The reporter looks very interested in the topic, it seems more information may just be over her shoulder.

"Hi, I am Findout More, here at the room of the damage, recently we received a report of damage done in this room, here at this house, and I, Findout More, am here to investigate this claim of damage for myself, and for you the viewer!"

As the camera attempts to view further into the bathroom, We hear a little boy's voice, "Well, I only used two wipes and two toilet papers... why is the water up so high???" "Mommy, Mommy there is a spider in the bathroom, get it, get it ... "

"Here spider, spider, I'll save you from all that water and send you to your...~ "

"Can you tell my why you used both wipes and toilet paper?, Is that what you are supposed to do?"

"Aren't you supposed to tell when the water in the toilet bowl gets to high?"

No film to follow; it was deemed inappropriate for G rated audiences, due to the execution of the arachnoid and the damage clean-up, We promise to keep Findout More on the case.

While watching tv last night Jessica saw a very short clip of the Jerry Springer show, where a large woman, was fighting with another large woman, her reaction was ---"Those ladies need to go to manners school!" and then "They need to learn about God and Jesus! "

A while back, I had to take away the toothpaste, since more toothpaste was ending up in the sink and on the counter, than in the mouth! Now I have to monitor the toothpaste,the toilet paper-- I already "control" the food and tv shows, not to mention brushing the hair, fixing the socks on up-side down and underwear backwards.

Is there anything that I don't need to oversee????????
