Tuesday Tidbits/Random Tuesday Thoughts

Middle bean came to me and said...'Mom if you really want to come with me to OKC you can-just don't hang out with me' and when I told him that I probably wouldn't be able to make it, instead of jumpin up and down he tried to help me find a solution.

I am pretty sure he has a girlfriend and he at the ripe ol age of 13 well almost 14 really doesn't want his mom hanging around givin out the stink eye to this lil boy thief...he knows me well...I enjoyed all the comments on this subject yesterday and I REALLY liked Jenni Jiggetys suggestion:

You need to have a t-shirt made that says" I am middle bean's mom" on the front. And then on the back it should say Middle Bean Loves her Mama...


One it is a great idea Two middle bean is a He and that would just so totally mess with him!

I never take what the beans say to me personally because, I too, know them well...

I got a call from lilest beans school nurse yesterday, apparently she had an unidentifiable rash on her neck and had to be picked up immediately...so I get lilest bean and at no point does the nurse come out to meet me coward -instead lilest bean hands me a piece of paper that states school policy on rashes BLAH BLAH BLAH and that she can't come back to school unless she has a Dr note saying she isn't contagious...

So I spend $15 so I can have Tuesday all to myself to be told she isn't contagious and given some cream-shortly after 3 my home phone starts to ring apparently 3 of lilest beans friends were all sent home with the same mysterious rash...

Speaking of lilest bean MY BABY IS GROWING UP! How do I know this? She has a Friday night social life now, she can talk to 2 people at the same time useing 2 different phones-seriously yesterday while getting all the girl gossip on rashes she had her cell phone up to one ear and the home phone up to the other ear-just wait till she discovers 3-way, she is starting to flat iron her hair,shave her pits,wear deoderant and wash her face...and lastly when a boy calls for her she no longer asks us to tell them she moved...she promised me way back when, that SHE WOULD NEVER GROW UP! I need to remind her of this...

___________________________

There is something else I am not ready for-oldest bean will be starting drivers ed in June...geesh time really does fly-it seems like just yesterday I brought her home from the hospital and would snuggle her next to my cantelopes covered in cabbage because she wouldn't nurse-I remind her often she wasn't a titty baby and how much pain she caused me because I REFUSED the milk dryer upper shot...now in 7 short months she will be 16 and driving a car...brb I am gonna be sick...

__________________________

Thursday is ERs grand series finale-my Thursday will never be the same-I have watched this show since the begining, I cried when Dr Green died-like buckets, I am in love with Morris-he cracks me up...if you try to call me Thursday I won't answer...I'm just sayin...

Our mother/daughter/sister trip to Eureka Springs is 10 days away-I am so super excited, 4 girls, 2 beds, 1 bathroom...

Field Trips

So several weeks back lilest bean went to OKC to visit our States Capital and the Memorial on a 5th grade field trip-I REALLY wanted to go with her but mr gp was working doubles and cheer practice conflicted with travel times.

All hope may not be lost since middle bean is now going to OKC on the same field trip in a few weeks-of course there will be conditions if I make the trip... like:

I have to act like I do not know middle bean
I can not talk to middle bean at any point
I can not ride on the same charter bus as middle bean
It would be great if I pretended to be someone eles's mom while on said field trip
If I could be sick that day middle bean would not be upset
I MUST be ready to go by 6:30am
I can not have lunch with middle bean
I can not walk in front of,behind or near middle bean at any point

Maybe I will just enjoy these pix that lilest bean took, middle bean has too many stipulations

My confession for today: I am going to try and get caught up on everyones blogs

The Answers

It was such fun reading your guesses to the 'one of these is NOT true' list...

Thanks for the warm welcome back, I had hoped to post Thursday and Friday but we had some hella rain storms and BA is nortorious for power surges so I had to keep the pc booted down and guess what I woke up to this morning? SNOW yep I am finally getting the snow I wanted back in December...go figure, this IS Oklahoma.

Here are the answers to One of these facts is NOT true-can you guess which one?

I dip my fries in mayo-this is TRUE and while I see some of you think it's gross it really is yummy

I once owned a 3 speed pea green duster- TRUE my sister the faloozie and I shared this gem during HS-we named her petunia, I also owned a 2 door chevette with bullet holes in the side-Daddy was famous for finding 'great' cars for $500 or less

I was in a commercial-TRUE when I was 18 I did a commercial for Oklahoma Junior College

I was a parts runner for an auto store-TRUE my mom got me the job I was 18 and I drove around town picking up parts for Surfside Jap auto parts

Guess Who's Back

Tap Tap this thing on...

OMGosh how long have I been away! I can tell you I no longer look, feel or walk like a cast member from Shawn of the Dead-the worst pain I have ever had...I am not gonna bitch Moan or whine any longer-I am glad to be back and so appreciated the many emails I received checking on me...BIG Thanks to Deb and Abby for updating you all-had I not returned soon you would have been blessed with a lilest bean goes green post she has been working on and I am not sure if that means she has a new favorite color or that the hulk is her new role model or that she is trying to be more earth friendly!

_________________________________

Cheer it's what for Dinner AND Lunch AND Breakfast heck it's a way of life-I am so super proud of Abby for making the varsity cheer squad-since my back was out I wasn't able to watch her tryout, she was nervous, I was nervouser(is to a word)...the squad consists of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors and she will be making memories to last a lifetime...RAH!

_________________________________

While not being able to move I watched Roadhouse like 187 times not because it is my favorite movie but because the remote fell off the bed and I couldn't move to get it-Eric offered to tie a string to the remote then to my arm but I declined for fear that if I tried to move I would forget about the remote attached to my arm and whack myself in the hayud...back to Roadhouse when I was younger I use to wanna look like Kelly Lynch and have a red table cloth dress like she wore in the movie...I still do... I'm just sayin...

_________________________________

Mom, my sisters and I are planning a lil trip to Eureka Springs, Ar. I am beyond excited since Eric and I didn't make our annual Anniversary trip...I am so gonna try and NOT sound like a know-it-all when traveling with them. This will be our first ever Mother/Daughter trip.

________________________________

I am SO behind on the Love Dare-I am not sure what to do about that on my blog, as I know some of you were following along.

My confession for today: It's good to be back...

*UPDATE*The fill in

I MADE IT! I MADE IT! I am now a BA Varsity Cheerleader!!!!! 

 Hey yall, this is oldest bean. My mom hurt her back. She's missing reading everyones blogs. She wanted me to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent e-mails checking on her. she's going stir-crazy. So Im here to make a friday up date since we are out of school. Here are somethings that have gone on the past few weeks.

   We celebrated my mimi's birthday. The whole family was there. We ate at Copelands. A good time was had by all. It was great to see everyone.
 
   I had cheer clinic for the past two weeks. Then tryouts were last night at 7 and didnt get over till 11:20. Im trying out for the varsity team. My partner and I did our very best. I will find out if I made it or not at three.

  Reese the nerd, started track. He went to his first meet on tuesday. He tried his very best. Mom would make this funny but I am just a fill in.

  Jess, has made good friends and left mom alone on friday nights. Im glad she is getting out and spending time with her friends. As my mom would say, her little girl is growing up. she would probably devote a whole post to this and how sad she is that Jess is growing up.

  Our summer vacation plans are coming along. As it stands now papa G and enaw aren't coming. (i think thats the real reason her back is out). She was STRESSING BIG TIME!

  Next week for spring break im going to spend time with my other daddy. We are going fishing at Roaring River thursday and friday. Coming home friday night. We have a rodeo all day saturday. I love going to rodeo's. Not sure what else I will be doing, but most likely just staying with the family.

   So hopefully this got everyone up to date on whats been going on. I know as soon as my mom can sit up for any length of time she will be back on.

   Oldest beans confession for today: Hopefully I make it for Varsity cheer.

  P.S. Sorry about all the typos.

Update on "G"

Hey guys!! It's Soxy Deb here. Just stopping by to give y'all an update on Georgie. I, as well as many of you, have been wondering where the heck she's been and her hubby just emailed me to let me know. Here's a little of what he said - can't share it all with you, cause well... (*wink*wink). I kid, I kid...bwahaahaaa!!

"...she hurt her back and is in bed not able to move. She told me to tell you it is your sons fault-I assume you know what that means-she broke her tailbone twice during delivery and we think she is dealing with a pinched nerve(she wont go to the doctor)-she said to tell you that your crick in the neck has nothing on her back."

So there you have it - she's broken. Dagnabbit Georgie!! Get better soon - we all miss you and your Georgie-isms!

MUCH LOVE !!!!!
Soxy Deb
