Grady is funny!

Okay, I know I have posted a lot lately..... blogging is a great stress reliever!

On to the story.....

I was getting ready to take a picture of Grady with his monkey costume on and told him to say cheese.

His response:

MOZZARELLA!!



Where do they come up with these things?

Daytime Trick or Treating

Grady and I went to my Grandma Mary's (his great-grandma, AKA Great Mary) Wednesday and Trick or Treated. She was very excited to have us, and enjoyed eating out at, you guessed it, McDonald's.

She had a doctor's appointment and we beat her to her house, so we broke in! Grady surprised her at the door.

After lunch, we went back to Great Mary's and she asked if Grady wanted to help her make cookies. Of course, my son loves to cook. He even got to press the button on the mixer....quite the job you know!

Good cookies guys!! You did a great job!! I know she would never even know how to go about reading this, but THANK YOU Grandma for the great day! We Love You!

Jack - O - Lantern

I have officially forgotten just how gross pumpkin carving is! Grady and I, well I, carved these two beauties yesterday after our trip to Great Mary's.

I was pretty impressed how well I did....if I can brag on myself for a while!

Darn the Dirty Luck

As luck would have it, I didn't get to go out hunting with Chris last night. Due to all the drama that someone decides my family really needs, I stayed in with Grady and let Granny and Papa have the night off. (They were the ones who would be watching him and I didn't really think they needed a wired 3 year old to take care of on top of everything else. I know you could do it Granny, just being considerate.)

I was so looking forward to going hunting too. ;)

Ha Ha!

Today is Opposite Day

Yes, opposite day. Everything I am saying here needs to be read with the bold word exchanged for it's opposite.

I love you.

You always tell the truth.

You are the best mother.

You treat people with kindness.

I hope you go to heaven.

You know who this is about. You know who you are.... I wish I could be more like you Sarah...but, I'm not. I'm just about as low as you can go.

A Little Halloween Humor

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.


She asks him why he is staring. He replies: 'I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.'


She answers, ' My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'


'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'


She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'


The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'


'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'


The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.


But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.


'My dear child,' said the nun, 'Why are you crying?'


'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess; I'm married and I'm Jewish.'


The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

Deer vs. Chris

This post has two different stories.....

#1 Yesterday morning my phone rang at 6:05 a.m. I thought it was my dad checking to see if I was going to make it to work since I was sick over the weekend. No. It was Chris. Mr. I have never hit a deer, ha ha. Yes, he has never hit a deer. But......yesterday morning a very horny deer hit him. Horny in both respects of the word when describing a deer. He was chasing a doe across the road. Chris stopped for the doe and the buck ran into his truck. Not very much damage. Just a few spots that he said he didn't really want to have his insurance raise in order to fix.

#2 Archery hunting season has not been going so well for Christopher. He has seen deer. Unfortuneately, he has been seeing them as he is walking back to the Teryx to come home. Well... I take that back. He had one buck really close to him, but it caught his scent. Okay, I guess deer are very aware of what stinks around them. *Sorry, Chris I'm not saying you stink, but that dirt smell, really does.* Anyway, back to the point. Since it has not been going well, I am going along tonight for good luck. Hope I can keep my mouth shut long enough for him. I also hope I don't stink it up out there and really scare the deer off!

Better Late Than Never

After reading about all these people going to the pumpkin patch at Arthur, we were swayed into going and seeing what it was all about. Unfortuneately, Grady was at the beginning of his pukefest (unbeknownst to us) and wanted no part of being there. We did get a few good pumpkins to decorate with and one decent picture of him semi-enjoying himself in the straw maze. Maybe next year we can go and enjoy ourselves a little more, I sure would have liked to do more of the fun things even if Grady didn't.

I really don't like...

BEING SICK!!

Sore throat, coughing, nose blowing, stuffy head......all that I just really don't care for it!

Grady's Newest Obsession

He has recently discovered grooming. I mean like fixing himself up and stuff. He has always bathed, of course. Lately, Grady wants to make sure his hair is all slicked down and that he looks good in what he is wearing. Now, he has to blow dry after his shower. I didn't know 3 year olds did this kind of thing. I thought that I had a good 10 years before all this started!

Tagged Again

Okay, Janelle.....here are 6 random things about me:

1. I will not fish or any other creature that swims.
2. I already started Christmas shopping.....okay, you may now puke!
3. I would love to have a cake from Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes) made just for me.
4. My mom thought Chris and I would starve because I couldn't cook much of anything before I was married.
5. As long as I am on the cooking subject, I would love to meet Paula Deen.
6. I really want to take a vacation somewhere far away from the drama.

I am supposed to tag someone else, but I'm not gonna. I'm challenging anyone who reads my blog and has never left a comment to please do so. I am really curious who all is out there reading about my crazy life!

Amish Peanut Butter and Ice Cream

Yeah, try it!!

Preschool

I guess I forgot to post this....

Grady has started preschool one day a week. He goes to Angie's (Kara's sister, for those of you who don't know) on Thursday. Most of the day. I take him at my morning break and don't pick him up until I am done with work. This is quite the departure for me. I haven't been without him at lunch time for quite awhile. My mom, wow, she really doesn't know what to do with herself!

He has only went once, so far. He was sick last week and, well, we didn't want Dawson or Lexie or Baby Jordyn to be puking all over the house like he was.

He loved it! I hate that he loves it. I am terrible, I know this. I wanted him to miss me, but I don't think he even cared I wasn't there.

Oh, well..... I have to let go sometime. It isn't like I can follow him to school on my bike or anything, right Mom??

Redemption!

I am so proud -- no loss to report on the Bears!!

And the win was against the Vikings too!

EVEN BETTER!!

Life On Hold

Our lives have been incredibly stressful lately. Just a little recap:

• My son has been sick and has been puking all over the house.
• My nephew has been in the hospital with it coming out the other end.
• My mom has surgery today and again next month.
• My dad has been having chest pains.
• My husband is now in full hunting mode and still sees no deer when he's out.
• My phone will not work well due to some dumbass cutting a line or something stupid.
• My internet would not work due to the same dumbass.
• My brakes on my car are making a funny noise.
• My head is all plugged up and I have sinus pain from all the farming around us.

I don't want any more stress and/or drama in my life. It seems to follow me. I cannot stand it anymore. It seems like people parade themselves around as good people, but then when the going gets tough, they act like they cannot do the RIGHT thing to help you out. I am sick of FAKERS who create all this drama for me to deal with!!

If you are not one of these people, please tell me how I can get rid of all this bull crap!

Poor Bears

I so thought they had it in the bag with 11 seconds left. Lord, why was that not miraculous enough? You had to pull another one out for the Falcons. 1 second remaining and a field goal lets them win by 2.

WHY???

I love Kyle Orton. Rex Grossman would never have made up the point differential in such a short period of time as Kyle did. Rex probably would have been sacked at least twice in just attempting to get the job done.

All in all, I was proud of the Bears yesterday. Just not happy with the outcome. There's always next week, I guess.

Words of Wisdom

Birthing a child does not a mother make.

*********************************

Some people automatically assume that actually giving birth to a child makes them the more responsible parent in a situation involving that child. Some people are wrong. Please reread the first sentence, because I said assume. I think everyone I know knows what happens when you assume things.

Take the hint, honey.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Can you tell that Granny really liked my new 'do? She went tonight and got the same cut.

Thanks again, goes out to Jessica! Fantastic job on us girls!

Can you tell who's the momma and who's the baby?

Have you been waiting all day???

Here I am ..... new and improved!

Thanks so much to Jessica for giving the old mop a new lease on life!!

I love it!!

In less than 12 hours....

I WILL HAVE A BRAND NEW 'DO!!!

Don't ya think it's about time??

Chris's 10 Year Class Reunion

This past weekend was Chris's 10 Year Reunion. Hard to believe it's been that long, but a lot has happened to us since then.

Here we are right after the meal - EARLY!!

And again, a little later....

Chris, and some classmates playing some drinking game, which led to.....

THIS....ALL DAY SUNDAY....ASIDE FROM HIS TIME WITH THE TOILET!!

But, Grady was happy because we brought him home balloons off of the 3, yes 3, bottles of wine Chris won us. One for each award: Most Changed, Least Hair, and Married the longest.

And, he was happy 'cause Ashley B. got to babysit and stay the night. Probably a good thing, since we didn't come home until the next morning!!! ;)

**** If anyone from Chris's class is reading this, I have more pictures of other people. If you're interested in them, leave me a comment and I can email them to you.*****

Now that is sleepy - Take 3

This is a couple weeks old, but worth posting. Chris took Grady for a drive around the farm to look for deer and this is how he came back. Looks like a little man sitting there. I wonder when they stop falling asleep in these odd places.

Misundertood

I think Grady misunderstood the emcee on the Homecoming coronation last night. Pretty sure anyways.

She said something about one of the king candidates wanting to go into Musical Theater. Okay, whatever.

Well.... Grady said, "I want to play Musical Chairs too!!"

Don't know how he got chairs out of theater, but cute anyway.

Thank God!! (Again)

Dirty. Sexy. Money.

ABC Wednesday nights.

OMG!!! I love this show.

I waited FOR-EV-ER for this to come back on.

Anyone else watching?

I Heart Uppercase Living!

I just love this stuff!! I had a party and got so many goodies to put on my walls. I have more to put up yet (maybe I'll post some of it) and I still want more too!

Isn't this just as cute as a button in Mr. Sawman's room!!
