Am I Cute or What?

Pictures of picture day!! Ally looking very girlie for a whole 10 min.

MIA but for good reasons

I know I have been a bad bad blogger (shame on me) but its been crazy busy here in the R household. My mom was here for 2 1/2 weeks, Corey started kindergarten, Kevin and I went to Cancun and what a travel experience that was, then we get back my mom goes home and Corey starts a new daycare. Thinking things were getting back on some kind of schedule he gets LOST at school and everyone freaks out, ALOT of homework starts spilling in, along with 1000's of school papers and then we go to his 6 month ADHD check and find out they are VERY VERY worried and gave him a failure to thrive diagnois. Crazyness, I swear it never stops. Well I take that back, last Saturday went to a GIRLIE Slumber Party is you get my jist, got shitfaced BEYOND shitfaced, bought $140 of God knows what, made a HUGE mess in my friends house along with a few husbands and had to be carried home in the back of a pick up. Damn that was fun, felt like dying the next day but the crazyness stopped for a FEW HOURS :o)

I will have to post pics of our Cancun trip and maybe one or two of the girl party but that all has past and I will post today what we did today.

Feeling guilty about having to take Corey and get blood drawn we all went to a state park today for some fishing and fun. I got the wrong bait and heard about it all day, the kids could really care less all then wanted to do was cast out and reel back in. Damn thats all I ever want to do too. Not sure what part of fishing on a lake struck me as something I could bring Ally the two year old terror too. We lost her pole a few times in the lake and her a few too if mom wasnt so quick. The child has no fear. Having enough of the lake drama we pack up and headed towards the ducks. These ducks were HUGE and the kids loved them. Kevin did not, seems he was attacked by ducks when he was younger and is scarred for life. He takes the bread and chucks it past the ducks and tells the kids to RUN LIKE HELL. The funniest shit I have ever seen. The kids thought dad was playing a game, we will burst their bubbles some other time.

We hope in the car and say we were going to the mall to get Ally's ears re-pierced and pick out school picture clothes. We figured an ambush at LabCorp was the best deal. He had no clue where we were and lucky for us the place was empty, Im so glad I choose to go on a Sunday. My poor baby was so so scared and cried and cried. It broke my heart. He was brave though and sat on my lap crying but didnt move. Then they needed a urine sample. I couldnt get him to stop crying, ohhh my poor baby. Then I made a joke that he better not pee on me while I hold the cup and he started giggling. Thank goodness my kids find fart/pee/poop humor as funny as I do. After that we went to the mall. Ally just SAT there while the repiereced her ears. CRAZY!! We got the kids the cutest picture outfits, matching of course, so Im thinking a family pic is in the future.

It was such a long long day but it was nice. Here are the park pics....

He's Scared

My poor baby boy! He's so so scared to start school on Monday. I know alot of kids get this way when they start school but Corey is special, the issues with ADHD and his borderline Autism new situations, surronding, schedules, teachers, friends is more scary and overwhelming then any of us can understand. I am just doing what I can to make him feel the smallest bit comfortable for Monday but if Meet The Teachers Night is any indication for Monday its going to be a stressfull and emotional first month of school.

I know I'm not suppose to feel this way but it broke my heart to see all the other kids excited and seeing the classroom and saying hello and shaking the teachers hand. I was dragging him into the school and classroom and then had to pull him from under the table when the teacher came around. When I was talking to his teacher her attitude towards Corey's behavior kinda rubbed me the wrong way, but Im going to give her the benefit of teh doubt and chalk it up to being overwhelmed by Meet The Teacher Night. PS - If you haven't had this experience before just wait there is no way to prepare for the MADHOUSE you will step into. CRAZY I TELL YA.

Here are the few pictures we got, note I was not taking the picture my mom did and she really has no idea how to work HER camera.

Talking it out or at least trying to

Corey thinking about sitting at his desk, staring at his name tag

Mom trying to get one smile picture but it pretty much one a onesided deal

World's Sorriest Yard Sale

Seriously its no joke! For the past few weeks I have been cleaning out closets, I have so many clothes that don't fit and I can't argue my case with a closet full of clothes, seasons are going to change and I cant fit a damn thing in Ally's closet so the small stuff no matter how cute it is MUST GO! Last night I finished getting everything into the hell hole we call the garage. This morning we were us at the ass crack of dawn luggin crap out. Even poor hubster got up from working all night to put up signs. Got everything out and nobody was coming. Got a few people but nada.

While waiting for people to come and take this stuff off my hands I decided to clean out the garage. One of these days Kevin and our next door neighbor are going to get into a brawl and its not going to be pretty. BACKGROUND: Few months ago our neighbor knocked on our door one morning and told hubster he can't park is truck in from of our house because there isnt enough room for his car and he owns his house and should be able to park there. AND he request Kevin stop using his driveway when making a 3 point turn because everytime a car goes in his driveway a camera takes their picture and emails it to him. So he hands Kevin a picture of him doing a 3 point turn. UGH so then the other day this guy calls Kevins work and complains about Kevins work truck being out there. We go out to see this guy parked so close to Kevins truck he hit it. So then Kevin was pissed and put a nasty note on this guys car window. UGH In terms I cleaned out the garage COMPLETLY today so we can park the Mazda in it and Kevin can park is work truck right in front of our house. The whole thing is STUPID but hopfully we wont be here much longer. Ally had a blast playing in all the dirt.

I was even forced to take down the cradle WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Its final the baby chapter of my life is over and I tooke apart and bubble wrapped my 1930's wooden cradle so one day my grandbabies can use it. Ally wanted to get back in.

Back to the actual yard sale, THANK GOD my mom was there because what we sold was all because of her. Man that lady could sell a binki to an Alaskan Eskimo. It was like 10am and nada so I put a sign out $1 SALE and get this people still wouldn't by stuff. LOL So in the end we made a whooping $20 and $5 of it was for Corey. At least it paid for lunch at McD's. After lunch Kevin loaded up the truck and I loaded the van and we took 2 car fulls to Goodwill. Eventhough the yard sale was a bust, many good things came out of today. YEAH!!!

Its been crazy busy, but Im getting the hang of my camera

My mom got here yesterday which means the COUNTDOWN to Coreys first day of Kindergarten and my Cancun vacation has now BEGUN!! Woo Hoo!!
The kids we SUPER excited for grammy from KY to get here














Today we decided to get up and get dressed and head to the farm. A nice family outing, Kevin was being a big poopy face because he hates the heat. Hello we live in Vegas dude.



















Some kid kicked us out of the peaches area because they werent ripe, dang what if I like nonripe fruit. The HUGE zucchini was SO FRIGGIN FUNNY. Didn't matter we were on the hunt for green tomatoes, cant have my mom come and visit with making my FAVORITE.
































We found some apples that were ripe, well enough for me and Corey we LOVE the tart apples. Shhh nobody saw us eat one. The kids, well Kevin got hot and went to the car while me and my mom went huntng for plums. Looks like they had fun in the car without us.
