Catching up

I had a really good time this past weekend. It was one of those weekends that are so good that you wouldn't dare talk about it!!!! But boys was it full of drama & excitement. I loved it! My boys had at least 5 basketball games to go to over the weekend and I was BEAT!!! I am all baskeball'd out, lol. But they had fun. I also saw an old friend over the weekend and that was really nice. It is nice to know that all men are not bad. (well that's what he was sellin' anyways)... I also found out some things have happened that I didn't think would happen. I am not sure if it's a good thing or not but imma roll with it. I also went to church this Sunday and it wasn't too awkward at the new location. I had fun with my family and sang my heart out. Monday I had a good day. My friend Holly and I went tto the mall and I finally got some make up. I will be a real live girl soon enough!!! I am really enjoying being single again I must say!!!! And Yesterday was a good day too. I had lots of fun talking on the phone last night and then passed out!!! I am really enjoying my life right now!!!

So tired

So yesterday was a pretty full day. After work I went to three different stores looking for ingredients. And, I had to stop at the bank to get some money (boy do I miss my ATM card). After that running around I went and picked the kids up from school.
I was so proud of Brandon! He did not do his homework after school and he knew I was going to get mad at him for it. So he says "wait mom wait... but I was in bible study. I couldn't do my homework." He knew I wasn't going to get mad at that! I am proud of him because it was HIS choice to join bible study. And... he can get out anytime he wants but he chooses to stay. I think that is a very big thing for a 6 year old to say hey I don't want to play sports after school all the time. On this day. I am going to learn about God! I believe that his learning will help him to form a better judgment on what he really believes when he gets older. It also shows so much maturity for a lil boy. After we got home the kids did their homework. and had a snack.





We then decided to go to the Reseda Basketball game because they were in the championships or something. It was a really good game. Dion & Brandon were able to see their friends and teammates. Will did too, but he is at the age where he just wants to look cool so he did not speak to any of them. The Reseda Basketball Team did really good. It was a close game up until the 3rd quarter. I don't know what happened but Reseda broke away from the other team and was up by 20 before I knew it.



Towards the 4th quarter the other team gave up. The crowd was going crazy! Reseda won 66 to 43 or somethin' like that, lol. The boys and I really enjoyed being out and having so much fun watching the game. It was getting late so when we got home I made the boys some chicken sammiches (LOL), showers... and sent them to bed so I could get ready for some GOOD me time!

Santa Barbara?

I have not been as good as I want with updating my blog but oh well. This was a good weekend. My boys had Basketball playoffs on Saturday and Sunday. They both won their games but lost for 1st place. We also went to the park and played for a little while on Saturday.

The boys had so much fun. I forgot how much they like the park. I will have to take them there more often....again. We use to go to the park all of the time. Now we are so bust that we don't have time for the park or when we do we rest. Anyways they almost missed a birthday party at Chunky Cheese. The two little ones had fun but my oldest son was so bored.



He just sat there. That night I went out with my friend Corrine. We went all the way to Santa Barbara to party. It was OK (after I drank a lil) but not really worth the drive. When I went to the restroom I saw all this writing about what the earth s made up of and how we need to take care of it.I thought it was neat so... (btw's my friend Holly would absolutely love this)


I think that it was nice being in a place where I didn't know too many people. But I do like to get hit on every now and then, LOL. It just was not happening over there. It was funny cause the bartender kept taking shots and messing up on everyones drinks so she would just give drinks away. I was laughing at her. She was having a good night too!


The only thing that sucked was that my cars check engine light came on. OH SHIT! I have to take it to the mechanic this week. But life goes on. Sunday was okay. i woke up with a bad hangover and did not even go to church. I felt bad about that but I will be there next weekend for sure! After driving to the boys games on Sunday I came home, made dinner...then passed out. Boy was I tired! Oh and also Corrine and I went to eat afterward at Denny's.

It was funny because all of the people there were pretty drunk but the police were sitting down and eat, laughing and talking with them. Then we saw the woman who was hanging out with the fellas. She was so mannish.. it was crazy. But she was doing the damn thang cause she was very well put together. I am not gay but I was diggin her style.

Just another day...

Yesterday was one of those days. Not much going on but life. I had a survey to do last night so the boys were kind of restless while they waited for me. The good thing was that it did not take too long. Afterwords we went to the mall and got B some shoes. He gets more holes in his shoes than anyone I know. While we were in the shoe store Dion (of all people) was trying to help me pick out some shoes for myself. I did not choose the shoes that he wanted me to get but I am taking them back and getting the shoes that Dion wanted me to get today. I cannot believe that my son can pick out shoes better than me. He was serious too. He went straight to the shoes that he liked. Then we got some dinner from the grocery store. i figured I am going to spend at least $30 so I had to make the most of it. The boys were so happy with their choices at the store. Will wanted to have fried bologna sandwiches and Dion & Brandon wanted corn dogs and they had 3 a piece. WOW! They were hungry. After dinner we all pretty much passed out. I am kinda bummed because I wanted to sign B up for Karate but when I picked him up he said he didn't want it. Awh man! I want him to do something! I will try to figure out something for him.

Weekend time

I had an awesome weekend! I went out to the movies on Friday to see "Taken". It was a good movie. After I got home I spent some time with a friend of mine. It was a good night. The next day I took the boys to church with me for rehearsal and then we went to their basketball practice. The boys were running and working hard during their practice.




Brandon was being good too. We sat on the side and waited for them taking pictures of ourselfves. it was fun!! I was so proud of them. Later we played video games (wrestling) and they enjoyed it. I just can't stand it when the try to act out the moves on each other. Someone ALWAYS gets hurt. It never fails.




I also spoke to my dad that day . and that was nice. I miss him so much. I always enjoy our talks. They are not for very long but they are intense and purposeful. I love it. He is the one of the people in this world that shows me how to keep it moving...no matter what! Later that night I went out with my girl Tina. She called me at midnight and said... " Get up...your going out!" We had a great time. I even pretended to smoke a cigar (and I hate those). We had lots to drink and had a great time dancing.
I had a good time at church on Sunday and the boys played well at their basketball games. Dion's team won but Will's lost. His coached looked pissed!! Guess they will be running a lot during practice next week. Oh vell.... but it was a goosd weekend. i am finding that I am having more and more weekends that are really good. Once I took my mind off of certain things I am enjoying my kids and life so much more!

Quiet..

Last night was really good. I went looking thru some old pictures and I saw the cutest picture of Dion. I am so glad I had it on my computer already. He looks so cute.




I am so proud of my son Will. He has been doing bad in school and that's not good but he is really making an effort to do better. I hope that he keeps up the good work. The one thing that I must remember is that as often as i criticize him I need to praise him for the good things that he does or he won't feel like he does anything right. He really wants to please so I will encourage that! Isn't he such a good big bro in that pic???



Anyways... the boys were pretty well behaved. We had a good dinner and they went to sleep early!!!! EARLY???? I was so happy. I spent the later part of my evening on the phone with a few friends and then I had to pass out!



The night was so good because there was no drama or problems! I like those nights. BTW... wasn't B a cute baby??

Out...

Yesterday was a good day. I did even more laundry and talked to my friend Tina for a while. She is really trying to help me get out more so she ran down a list of event in March that I will need to attend...I love it! I am so excited because my weekend will be filled. I will hang out with he and also go on a few dates, yay! I am happy to be out there dating again. (By the way those guys in that pic are not any of my toys...they are church friends) One thing that I have realized is that if you are not looking to settle down then you will need to have more than one dude that will bring different things to the table. I mean if you are not looking for a husband why should one man have to bear the burden of doing EVERYTHING for you. I mean that is too much pressure for a fling. You know? So one is for movies and dinner type shit. One is for drinking and partying type shit. One is for shopping and pampering type shit. And the last one is for sex ad pleasure type shit. Man, I had better get on the ball! I also saw some old friends last night. It was nice. I don't usually get to see them outside of church. And i wasn't sure how it was going to go. You know you have to be careful around some people. But it turned out to be a good time. We danced and they drank. It kind of made me feel old though. I didn't know half the songs that were played and then the ones I did know I could really dance to because everyone else was getting low and doing all these funky dances. It left me looking confused....like huh? LOL
But I am so out of energy right now i need to stop. Laters....

Clothes

So all I could do was clean yesterday. I had my son help me do the laundry and then I cleaned my room real good. The laundry is never ending but I put a serious dent into it. I felt like yesterday was a day for me and my youngest. When my boys got home from school it was all about him and me. We laid in my bed and talked and I let him watch his favorite program. I made breakfast for dinner last night. We had scrambled eggs, sausage(that were really hot dogs, but shhhh don't say anything) cheese bagels and toast. They were in heaven. But after dinner it was back to cleaning for me. At least until I passed out.

What great weekend!

I had such a good time with my boys this weekend. Our trip to Vegas was a big success. The boys had a chance to visit with their friend, Play all day and hang out all night with the grown folks. The trip down there was not too bad. I mean there was some traffic but not as bad as what everyone was saying. I spoke with my mom during the drive and she had the nerve to tell me to stop every hour for gas. Every hour mom...seriously? LOL she is too much sometimes but I guess that how mother's are. My oldest son was my road dawg & NAVIGATOR.

He stayed up and talked to me for most of the ride. It was especially nice for him to drive into Vegas and see the strip all lit up. I heard wow mom look at that!!! It made me feel good inside.


Once we got to the strip they didn't want to sight see that much. All the boys wanted to do was go to Circus Circus and play around. So.... that's what we did. After I went to NY NY...lol I HAD TO!!!! The boys all won bears so EVERYONE was happy. And that is so important.


We also went to the movies and saw Madea goes to jail...or somethin like that. It was good. Not as funny as the others but still good. The boys liked it too. Brandon left the theater saying "put the shut to the up and shut up Dion!" And that is not all he left with.


My YOUNGEST son had the nerve to be the mack of the group and snagged himself a little girlfriend. I was too thru. I said it is TIME TO GO!! We made good time on the way back .. AFTER getting dooped by this sign that claim an express lane was coming up. When we got on in it was anything but express. I felt like a snail and was so sad to se the trucks.. yes trucks go faster than me. But it was okay. because I was on my way home. When we got home Max was so happy to see us. He purred for like an hour. He would let me leave the room without following. Awh he missed us!!

Time out for a little fun

I had a really good night last night. I took care of most of my errands and got my car all taken care of. I still need to vacuum and wash it but then that's it. I plan to vacuum it sometime during the day and wash it on the way home. After taking care of my car I took the boys to Reseda HS Basketball Game. They were really into it.


We had fun sitting with my pastor and his son. I really enjoy having a pastor who is still a regular guy. And can offer real advice and guidance to my oldest son when he needs it. Watching them talk last night really did my heart some good.


I was having issues with my camera. The truth is that I don't really know how to work it right now but I am learning. My pictures might look a little off today. And although I was taking crappy pictures one of them turn out to be my favorite. I love the lighting of the Jerseys in this pic. It just looks cool to me.



The boys had a great time at the game but it took forever. The refs really wanted to call EVERYTHING!!! It was kind of annoying but I was glad to be out and about.



Once we got home I washed clothes until 3AM!!! Oh my goodness. I was soooo tired. I was happy to have talked to my friend. He is feeling under the weather. There is this flu going around that is just NO joke!!! Everyone that I know has gotten sick. Btw's - I have a plan that I am working on right now concerning my friend. More like an experiment. I am so excited about it I just don't know what to do. I hope it works. I really do! Muuuuaaaahhhhhhh.... Experimentation!!!

(yes, I know..too dark. Still learning)
Oh and the cheerleaders did a cute dance so I decided catch it

Ferbruary 19, 2009

So, need to catch up a day. I usually try to write in my blog during the day but was swamped yesterday and did not have too much time for play. I worked my BUTT off!!! So I spent a lot of time at my desk. Here is a picture of my desk plant and bunny.


They keep me calm and centered all day. Well, not really calm but I still get good feeling from it. I finally cleaned out my car and only have vacuuming left to do. I still need to wash our clothes and get ready. My sons coach invited us to this HS playoff game tomorrow. So that should be good. I have gotten so busy lately. I also need to get MAX some kitty liter. Urg.... so much to do! I have not even had time to think about my little friend. But I think that's a good thing.

Time to recycle

Not too much to write about today. I am feeling kinda mad because I have to get my car fixed and it will cost a lot. But what's new. All cars cost a lot to fix or maintain. I want to make sure that it is in good condition for the drive to Vegas. So yesterday I took it to a mechanic and got a quote for a tune up. Later I went home and had mommy time before I picked the kids up from school. We had a pretty quiet night but I fell asleep with the heater on and it was sooooo hot in my house at like 3 AM. I thought my fish were going to boil. My Sucker fish looked so mad. But then again he always looks mad, lol.


But anyways... my goal today is to clean out my car! It is so junky. Once I take back the recycling it will look a lot better. But for now is is gross!!! I will also go to the ATC to get my tires checked. I hope to be all finished with my car by tonight. i hope to just need a car was tmrw so that I can leave after work on Friday. MUST CLEAN CAR......

Blah Day

I had such a lazy day yesterday. I went home after work and washed clothes and that's it!!!! I did not want to cook or clean anything else. I felt so drained. I also spent a lot of time looking at my plants in the rain. I was hoping to get a call from a friend of mine but I passed out before I could take advantage of that opportunity. I spent most of my time with Max (my kitty) in the bed. I love him so much. He just follows me around. Meowing all day. Sometimes I pretend that he can understand me and I just start talking to him. He will humor me and make a few noises. I think it's cute. Anyways... the boys were behaving so good yesterday. They were getting along and everything. Now, if I can only get them to stop screaming all the time!! Ahhhhh... I get such bad headaches over the screaming. I hope tonight will be a little better. For several different reasons. I just found out some news that makes me kinda sad but I have now decided to live everyday like it is my last (for the next few months anyways, lol). If I want to do something...then I will do it. I want something...I will go after it. I want to be happy. No matter if it pleases others or not. Again... I hope that tonight will go better and that I won't just pass out!

Happy Monday!

Well, I had a really great Valentine's weekend. The boys and I had so much fun together. We went shopping, walked around and had a great dinner. It was one of the best Valentine Days I have had in a very long time. It was nice to just be with them and enjoy them. I mean we did have our rough spots but all in all I really enjoyed spending time with my boys. I love them so much! My oldest is so shy, my middle son is invisible and my youngest son is a handful! Sometimes I can't wait for them to grow up and then...I wish they wouldn't. Then I can't be mommy anymore and get the crust out of their eyes (yes, with spit and my finger, LOL). Anywho.... We had a great time together this weekend.
