Doing a Friday Dance!

So this has been a pretty awesome, if tiring at some times, week. Gymnastics changed, schools started, CAP, my job added too...
First Bear DID move up. (Of course we knew he would) SO there goes my bank account and then some lol. He tried it Tuesday and LOVED it. Its longer times, and he knows starting in a few months he will be competing in front of lots of people. His uniform is ordered. We are trying to raise money to help cover fees. 2 different booster clubs plus meets and travel costs and I do believe we have to pay to even get into his meets to watch LOL. Let us hope we can raise enough to keep going until everything is settled down for us.

School officially started yesterday although they have been working for the past week and half. They like it. Im sure it will get harder as time goes on but the first days are pretty slow. We are starting to get the hang of it. I dont think we are missing anything yet

CAP should start getting more going as well. They like to do things when temps get cooler. So we are watching and waiting on that one. Of course now that Bears gymnastics has moved... One is the same day as CAP so its been a scramble to rearrange things.

Ugg on my job. I was REALLY enjoying my 3 day weekends. And well they were just ripped from me lol.  I guess the person on Friday was not doing a good job..Ok I dont guess it.. I KNOW. And I was already irritated from having to pretty much double my Mondays to fix what she didnt do. ANd now.. well Im stuck working it.. But I wont complain much.. It is a lil more money(which as you can see we need right now)

After around March hopefully things will be a lot better.. I hope to have the car paid off. And stuff caught up. Hubs will have hopefully moved up at his job by then. I think even after he moves up Im going to stay working for a lil bit to make money needed for the activities. And try to start saving because each time he moves up the more expensive it is. And the further we will be going for meets.

And now Im off to make my menu and grocery list. I have put it off all week and thats not good lol. Bear has a class at 9 he has to sign into and they have some work to do today, And I have got to get this done so I can go shopping after work tonight(Im sure we all want to eat tomorrow...And yes the kids have said uhhh moommmmmmm.... When are you going to get more milk(theres like a inch left in the jug right now lol) )

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. :)

Sit still?? never

Just when I think I will sit still. I get busier. I managed over this weekend to get a menu made out, which took days to make, Nothing sounded good. I am so worn out on certain meals that I just could not get that menu made. But finally, managed. And got the grocery shopping done. Of course going OVER budget. sigh. After that got the garage sorta cleaned up. Clovis the attack cat has been acting sick and it was freaking me out. Shes 15 years old. I dont expect her to live forever, but sheesh.. She was vomiting. A lot. (ok so clovis is a vomiter anyways but this was excessive) And shes was acting very very odd. Shes feral(Ok the older she gets the more we can call her somewhat domesticated.....Somewhat....) and she wanted attention constantly. Which is def not normal. Plus shedding like no tomorrow(way more than she ever has in previous years) So while at the store we realized.... We need to buy old cat food. Not just the regular outdoor stuff. She needs old lady stuff lol. Got her more hair ball treatment stuff. (which may be why she felt like crap) After giving her the hairball stuff for 4 days, and the senior food. Shes acting a lot better.  We can hope it stays that way.
My ankle is still in the brace(ok so it isnt at this exact moment...Im just sitting geez!!)I wont say its getting better. Or worse. Still got 2 weeks and a few days left in this thing. And not time to just sit and rest it.
The boys are doing ok. Driving me nuts. Mr B is in that preteen crap that is really starting to get on my nerves. Attitude... uggg..And of course the bear doesnt like it so... he gets a attitude lol. Im gonna work their tails off!!
Im trying to clean the fire out of this house. Did really good. But now its about time to declutter and maybe do a garage sale again. Need to come up with a LOT more to do that though(And its freaking 100 plus degrees out here right now UG!!)
Busy week ahead. Gymnastics CAP and work. Among other stuff.Got my fingers crossed once again for papa bear. Soon I hope to scream out the news (and no I am not prego.. wash your mouth out!!) If that happened it would be a damn miracle. Or I gots me a boyfriend lolol. (and on that note......)lolololl

Upside down, and back around....

Positive???? Please???

We are still waiting on job word. I wish it wouldn't take so long. Hate sitting on pins and needles. So lets all cross fingers and hope for a phone call today :).
Bear did not move up in gymnastics. Which is ok. Hes really not ready, but he was completely bummed. I did not think he wanted to move up that bad. With all the crap hes been through this year I am not surprised he didnt. He hasnt had constant practice. But its all right. He will work harder this next year and maybe then we will all be ready(I will admit I wasnt ready for all that either)
I am sick.. again. I swear Im sick of being sick. Started as allergies and turned into a killer chest and head cold. SO I am in day..4 or 5 of feeling like crap. Add on I stopped taking the Yaz pills because they really were not doing what they should have. Not wasting money on it if its not doing what I need(no not the birth control part lolol Im sure that worked, I wouldnt know Papa Bear is fixed ;) )So Im miserable from the top of my head to my feet. Trying to get better but cant stop going like the energizer bunny over these kids. haha.
I think that may be a complete update on the whole house.......If not blame it on the brain fill with snot...

Yep the babies are twins :D Those were taken when we went to the in law house for Thanksgiving. The boys LOOOOOOVE the babies and I swear carried or played with them constantly for over 8 hours. They kept switching which baby they held. It was really sweet. I think one day they are gonna make good daddies.

Mr B is getting ready for boot camp. In a week he will be on a van heading out. Im the nervous mom even though Im sure he will do great. He has a pot luck dinner with his CAP squad Tuesday and I have lots of baking to do before then. He is excited for all of it. Its gonna be a super quiet week without him around.

He had his first band concert. Did great. Hes the blond in the 2nd row at the end LOL. Hes also joining the reading club at his school, and we just changed his schedule for the next semester. He will now be in AP science. Hes also working on all other subjects so he will be comfortable moving to AP classes in other subjects next year. We looked at OU school of meteorology the other day and he saw what he needs to get done to prepare. Im pretty proud that hes paying this close attention to the things he needs to do to get ready for college.  

Bear had his meet and did great. Hes still needing to work on his nervousness when people are watching. Its better each time but its still there. He is also turning 9 this week. Where has the time gone? I cant believe he is already turning 9!!!! My baby really isnt a baby anymore. Hes doing great in school. Has moments where he cant shut up (which is total opposite of a couple years ago where teachers were complaining about him NOT being social) He had a sleep study done and we have to go to the docs this week to discuss the results. 

Alot of stuff going on. Papa bear is on vacation again(ya know the use it or lose it) Hes gonna get some items on the to do list done.  Now Im off to get lil bear moving to eat before school...hes boycotting everything I have. LOL
