I’M BACK!!!

by

I HAVE BEEN BUSY, OR TOO TIRED TO GET ON HERE AND HAVE TO BLOG/SCREAM AND STRESS OUT OVER THE KIDS GOING COO-COO, BECAUSE I’M ON THE COMPUTER, AND THEY THINK I’M NOT WATCHING THEM.

WELL THINGS HAVE BEEN GOOD, AND BAD LATELY, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I HURT MY ANKLE, MY UNCLE BROKE HIS LEG. 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT, MY MOM BROKE HER LEG AND ARM… TALK buy nolvadex discount ABOUT A STRING OF BAD LUCK!!!!!!

KIERA IS ON SUMMER VACATION, AND ANDREW WAS OUT HERE FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER, ALONG WITH HIS COUSIN. LILY IS SOOOO EXITED, BECAUSE SHE WILL BE STARTING KINDER IN SEPTEMBER, WHEN KIERA GOES BACK TO SCHOOL.

WELL IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, I WILL BE UPDATING THIS BLOG PAGE, ADDING PICTURES AND RE-DECORATING IT, ALONG WITH STORIES I REMEMBER……

HI

WELL WHAT CAN I SAY?
I DON’T REALLY HAVE MUCH TO TALK ABOUT, IT’S 4AM, AND I CAN’T SLEEP.
MY ANKLE HAS BEEN KILLING ME ALL DAY.
I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE WITH WILL, LAST NIGHT, AND AS I TRIED TO SKIP TO THE WHEELCHAIR, I TRIPPED, AND LANDED ON MY BAD ANKLE. MY SWELLING HAS GONE DOWN, BUT MY PAIN SEEMS TO BE A BIT WORST.

I FINALLY HAD MY OPTOMETRIST APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING, AT 8AM, YUKK.
I FOUND OUT WHY I HAD BEEN GOING SO BLIND FROM ONE EYE. I HAVE ASTIGMATISM IN THAT EYE NOW. SO NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD SOME GLASSES. I GOT MY PUPILS DIALATED, AND THE DOCTOR SAID IT SHOULD WEAR OFF IN FOUR HOURS, BUT IT’S ALMOST BEEN A WHOLE DAY, AND THE LIGHT STILL HURTS MY EYES A LOT, AND MY VISION IS STILL VERY BLURRY, SO I THINK I WILL CALL THE DOC TOMORROW.

ANTHONY SAID FLOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, HE PICKED A FLOWER FROM THE POT AND BROUGHT IT TO ME AND SAID “MOMMY, FLOWER” IT WAS SOOOO ADORABLE.

WELL THAT’S ALL, I GUESS I WILL TRY TO MAKE MYSELF GO TO SLEEP.

MY ANKLE

by

WELL I GOT A CALL TODAY, I HAVE MY MRI APPOINTMENT TOMORROW NIGHT.
THE EMT SAID IT WAS NOTHING BUT A SLIGHTLY SPRAINED ANKLE, WILL THOUGHT IT WAS TOO, SO HE WOULD TELL ME TO WALK ON IT, THEN AFTER 3 WEEKS OF THE SWEELING NOT GOING DOWN, I FINALLY WENT TO THE DOCTOR, AND HE TOLD ME TO USE CRUTCHES AND STAY OFF THE FOOT UNTIL I GET XRAYS.
I WENT BACK, AND HE SAID THE XRAYS DIDN’T SHOW ANYTHING ON THE BONES, BUT THE SWELING WAS TOO MUCH FOR IT BEING 3 WEEKS LATER. SO HE TOLD ME TO USE THE WHEELCHAIR AND COMPLETELY STAY OFF OF IT, UNTIL AFTER THE MRI, SINCE HE THINKS I HAVE TORN LIGAMENTS.

SO WILL THINKS HE’S SOO FUNNY, WHEN WE GET OFF THE CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE, HE ASKS: “ARE YOU ROLLIN’?”
HA HA

MOTHER N SON DAY @ THE ZOO

by

TODAY WAS MOTHER AND SON DAY AT THE ZOO. WE WON SOME ZOO TICKETS FOR MOTHER’S DAY, FOR ME AND THE BOYS. WILL STAYED HOME WITH THE GIRLS SO THEY COULD WATCH DREAMGIRLS AND HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY, AND KEPT ANTHONY BECAUSE HE WAS SICK, SO JOSH, PAPA, AND I CAME TO THE ZOO. WE GOT THERE AT 9AM, OR AROUND, LOL. WE GOT OUR TICKETS AND WERE TOLD TO ROAM THE ZOO, AND TO MEET AT 12PM FOR LUNCH AND A SHOW. SO WE WENT STRAIGHT TO WHERE THE BOYS WANTED TO GO, THE REPTILES SECTION OF COURSE. WE LEFT STRAIGHT TO THE LUNCHEON FROM THERE. WE HAD BBQ SANWICHES AND DRINKS, FREE CROWNS FOR THE BOYS, BECAUSE THE THEME FOR THE DAY WAS: “WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE”, WE HAD ALL THE ICE CREAM WE COULD EAT, A READING OF THE BOOK, AND THEY BROUGHT DIFFERENT ANIMALS FOR THE KIDS TO PET AND SEE. AFTER ALL OF THAT, WE GOT A FREE PICTURE OF US, WITH THE WILD THINGS BACKGROUND, AND AS A SPECIAL TREAT, LINCOLN MANAGMENT, GAVE US FREE WILD ANIMAL PARK TICKETS THAT DON’T EXPIRE FOR ANOTHER MONTH. THAT WAS SOO COOL. AFTER THE LUNCHEON, WE ROAMED THE REST OF THE PARK. THEY GOT US PREMIUM TICKETS, SO WE COULD GO ON THE SKYFARI, THE SHUTTLE, AND THE TOUR BUS AS MANY TIMES AS WE WANTED, SO WE TOOK THE SKYFARI FIRST, AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE POLAR BEARS. THEN WE WALKED DOWN TO THE SHUTTLE STOP BECAUSE IT WAS SOO HOT, WE TOOK THE SHUTTLE BUS TO THE ENTRANCE, AND THEN GOT ON THE TOUR BUS. THAT WAS COOL, IT WAS LONG, WE WENT ALL THROUGH THE ZOO, AND LEARNED ABOUT EVERY ANIMAL WE SAW, AND PAPA FELL ALSEEP HALF WAY THROUGH IT, LOL, IT WAS VERY HOT. AFTER THE BUS, WE WENT TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS AGAIN, AND THE KOALAS, THEN WE DECIDED TO GO HOME BECAUSE IT WAS HOT,ANND WE WERE TIRED. WE WOUND UP GOING TO THE DRIVE IN, AND WE WATCHED……. HMM, I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT WE WATCHED, LOL. IT WAS A GREAT END TO A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

OUR SUNDAY FAMILY ADVENTURE

by

OUR SUNDAY OUTING !!!
MAY 20, 2007
THIS WEEKEND WE WERE GOING TO GO TO THE WILD ANIMAL PARK, BECAUSE WE HAD SOME FREE TICKETS, BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE WE SAW THAT IT WAS GOING TO CLOSE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS, SO WE DECIDED TO JUST KEEP DRIVING UP THE ROAD AND SEE WHERE WE END UP. WELL… THIS WAS FUN…
WE DROVE UP TO A SMALL STATE PARK, IT WAS WHERE A BATTLE WAS FOUGHT, CAN’T REMEMBER THE NAME, SORRY. WE SAW THAT IT WAS TOO SMALL, AND THERE WERE NO BADGES FOR THE KIDS, THE ONLY THING THERE WAS A SMALL HIKING TRAIL, WITH WARNING SIGNS FOR RATTLE SNAKES, SO WE DECIDED TO LEAVE, LOL.
WE KEPT DRIVING UP THE ROAD, AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY, THE MOUNTAINS, THERE WERE WINERIES EVERYWHERE, AND ANIMALS, AND THERE WERE ORANGE GROVES ALL ALONGSIDE OF THE ROAD. WILL, LIKE ALWAYS, THOUGHT HE WAS SPEED RACER AND WAS HAVING FUN ON THE DIPS AND SMALL CURVES, POOR PAPA, GOT CAR SICK 4 TIMES.
WE FINALLY DROVE INTO RAMONA, THERE WAS A RODEO, AND WE WERE GOING TO GO, BUT WE COULDN’T FIND IT, LOL. WILL FOUND A LITTLE FRUIT STAND ON THE CORNER, AND WE WENT, WE BOUGHT A HUGE BOX OF THE FRESHEST RUBY RED STRAWBERRIES I HAVE EVER TASTED, AND OF COURSE, WILL LOVES CHERRIES, SO WE GOT SOME TOO. WE DECIDED TO SAVE ALL OF THE SEEDS SO WE CAN TRY TO PLANTS SOME, OF COURSE THE CHERRY BOX DIDN’T EVEN LAST THE HOUR.
THEN WE DROVE UP AGAIN, AND WOUND UP IN A LITTLE TOWN CALLED SANTA YSABEL, IT HAS A SMALL INDIAN RESERVATION, AND IN THE MAIN MARKET THEY HAD FLIERS THAT THEY HAD JUST OPENED A NEW CASINO, SO WE DECIDED TO GO SEE HOW MUCH THE BUFFET WAS. WOW, THE VIEW WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! THEY LEVELED A WHOLE MOUNTAIN TOP, AND BUILT A SMALL CASINO, ALL AROUND THE CASINO, THERE WAS FLATTENED LAND, WHERE THEY WILL BUILT THE RESORT ONCE THEY HAVE MORE FUNDS. SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE TO TAKE PICTURES!!! I TOLD WILL FOR HIM TO GO TO THE CASINO AND FIND OUT, AND IN THE MEANTIME I TOLD THE KIDS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND GO LOOK WITH ME AND TAKE PICTURES. THE KIDS AND I WERE WALKING ALL ALONG THE MOUNTAIN’S EDGE, AND BELOW, FAR AWAY, YOU CAN SEE THE LAKE, AND MORE MOUNTAINS, IT WAS A SIGHT I WILL NEVER FORGET. WILL CAME OUT OF THE CASINO AND FOUND A CATERPILLAR, AND HE BROUGHT IT OVER TO SHOW THE KIDS, IT JUST MADE THE WHOLE PICTURE MMENT MORE BEAUTIFUL, AND THE DAY MORE SWEET. AFTER WILL PUT THE CATERPILLAR BACK, HE YELLED “LAST ONE TO THE CAR IS A ROTTEN EGG!!” SO WE ALL STARTED RUNNING, I LOOKED BACK AND SAW THAT LILY WAS WALKING, SO I WALKED BACK AND TOLD HER WE WOULD RACE, KIERA AND JOSHUA CAME BACK FOR A SECOND RACE, SO WE RUN, AND I’M BEATING KIERA, SO SHE REACHES OUT FOR MY SHIRT AND PULLS ME DOWN, I STARTED TO FALL AND AS I WAS TRYING TO STAY UP, I FELT AND HEARD 3 LOUS CRACKS ON MY ANKLE! OUCH!!!!!!!! I STARTED CRYING IMMEDIATELY, AND I FELT THE SUDDEN BURNUNG PAIN IN MY FOOT, I WAS CRYING, AND WILL, TRYING TO FIX IT,, KEPT TRYING TO MAKE ME GET UP, I WASN’T GOING TOO, LOL. HE CARRIED ME TO THE CAR AND CAREFULLY TOOK MY SHOE OFF, MY ANKLE WAS TWICE AS BIG NOW, HE WENT TO GET ICE FROM THE CASINO, BUT THE EMT, AND THE CASINO MANAGER CAME OUT WITH HIM, LIABILITY FORMS. THE EMT BANDAGED MY ANKLE AND TOLD ME IT’S SPRAINED AND NOT BROKEN, THAT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR, LOL. NOT TOO MENTION, THAT WHEN I FIRST FELL, ALL I HEARD OVER MY CRIES, WERE WILL’S HISTERICALL LAUGHS!
WE STARTED TO DRIVE BACK HOME SO I COULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT I FELT TOO BAD ABOUT ENDING THE KIDS DAY, SO I ASKED WILL TO STOP AT THE FIRST STORE AND GET ME SOME PILLS, I POPPED 2 ADVIL’S AND WE KEPT DRIVING. WE FOUND THE ENTRANCE TO THE PALOMAR OBSERVATORY, SO I GOT EXITED AND WE DROVE UP THE MOUNTAIN, THE SIGN SAID IT HAD CLOSED ABOUT 1/2 HOUR BEFORE, BUT THERE WAS A SCENIC VIEW AREA ON THE SIDE. IT WAS SOOO BEAUTIFULL, I COULDN’T WALK, SO WILL TOOK THE KIDS OUT OF THE VAN AND WENT TO TAKE PICTURES, IT WAS BREATH TAKING!!!
FROM THERE WE WENT TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO EAT BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL STARVING, SO WE FOUND A PIZZA SHOP IN ANOTHER LITTLE TOWN, SO WILL CARRIED ME TO ONE OF THEIR PATIO CHAIRS SO WE COULD EAT OUTSIDE. THAT WAS SWEET HUH? LOL HERE COMES ANOTHER FUNNY THING, SO AFTER WE’RE DONE EATING KEIRA DECIDES THAT WE ARE ALL GOING TO PLAY “DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE”, SO SHE STARTS, THEY ALL PLAY A ROUND AND WHEN JOSHUA HITS GOOSE ON WILL, THEY START CHASING AND RUNNING, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, WILL MAKES IT TO A CHAIR, AND HE’S RUNNING AND THROWS HIS WEIGHT DOWN ON IT, AND WE ALL HEAR A LOUD “CRACK, CRAK” AND DOWN WENT WILL WITH THE CHAIR, FLAT TO THE FLOOR, HA HA HA, EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING, WILL DIDN’T GET HURT, BUT HE WAS LAUGHING TOO, IT WAS SO FUNNY!!!!!
FROM THERE WE DROVE HOME, GOT PIJAMAS, AND BLANKETS, AND HEADED TO THE DRIVE IN. WE WENT AND BOUGHT 1 BUCKET OF KFC, AND HAD A PICNIC IN THE VAN, WHILE WATCHING SHREK3 AND BLADES OF GLORY.
WE GOT HOME, AND IT WAS A NICE TO JUST SIT!!! WILL CARRIED ME UP THE STAIRS, LOL. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY WEEKEND!

WHEN WE GET THERE, THE VOLUNTEER IS DRESSED UP IN CLOTHES FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME IN SAN DIEGO,
HE TELLS US THAT THERE ARE FORMS FOR THE KIDS TO GO ON A SCAVANGER HUNT WITH, AND WHEN THEY ARE DONE RESEARCHING AND ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS, THEY GET A JUNIOR RANGER BADGE. IT’S A BADGE THAT YOU CAN COLLECT AT EVERY NATIONAL PARK, HISTORIC, OR STATE PARK.
SO WE DECIDED TO SPLIT UP IN 2 TEAMS, THE GIRLS AGAINST THE BOYS.
IT WAS THE GIRLS AND ME, AGAINST JOSHUA, PAPA, AND WILL.
OF COURSE YOU KNOW WHO WON… THE GIRL TEAM!!!!!!
THE KIDS GOT THEIR BADGES, AND A CERTIFICATE.
AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO A CHINESE BUFFET, IT WAS WILL’S IDEA, THE KIDS LIKED IT, IT WAS EITHER THAT, OR DENNY’S WHERE KIDS EAT FREE ON SAT. NIGHTS, THEY VOTED FOR CHINESE, I GUESS THEY’RE TIRED OF DENNY’S, LOL. PAPA AND ANTHONY WE IN LOVE WITH THE WATERMELON, LOL.
FROM THERE WE WERE GOING TO GO HOME, BUT SAW A GOODWILL STORE ON THE WAY, SO WE STOPPED. THERE WERE THOSE LITTLE COUCH-BEDS THAT FOLD OUT FOR KIDS, FOR 9 BUCKS, THEY’RE OVER 40 AT SOME STORES, SO WE GOT THEM 2 SINCE THERE’S NO MORE COUCHES IN THE TOY ROOM.
WE WENT TO HOLLYWOOD VIDEO FROM THERE, AND WE CAME HOME AND HAD A FAMILY NIGHT IN THE LIVING ROOM, WE WATCHED “HAPPILY NEVER AFTER”
TOMORROW, WILL AND I ARE HOPING TO TAKE THE KIDS OUT TO THE WILD ANIMAL PARK, SINCE WE GOT SOME FREE TICKETS FROM OUR MANAGMENT HOUSING OFFICE.
