Peter Pan is in our room!

Last night... our bedroom. Lights out.


Me: Peter Pan is in our room.

Hubs: huh?

Me: Peter Pan is in our room can you see it? There's his hat, his nose and his chin. Can you see it?

Hubs: Oh yeah.

Me: The other way looks like the Sphinx.

Hubs: Silence.

Me: It does, see Peter Pan's features reversed are the wide bridge of the nose. It's there look! Do you see it yet?

Hubs: Silence.

Me: The back side of Peter Pan's head looks like a fish with an open mouth. It does. Clear as day.

Hubs: *ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Me: *rolling my eyes in the dark*

She WANTED this...

This is Crazy Drama Queen (CDQ)-- She had a dentist appointment on Monday. She was getting a cavity filled and sealants.

When she came to me last year, she came with big thick brown spots on her two front teeth. I didn't know what it was but soon found out it was tooth decay build up. (ick) She had been working on it and brushing it down and it was almost completely gone.

The Dentist said that they were baby teeth and that the nerves were dead so there was no danger of the cavity going into her new teeth. (Ok, if I don't make sense it's because I've only had four cavities in my life and I got them when I was 19-20 and I had braces. The brackets in the back that go around the back teeth is where I got the cavities on the sides of the teeth where the brackets covered. So, all this crown, cavity, cement stuff is new to me.)

He said the teeth were basically dead and they could be pulled or we could just wait until they fell off.

Well CDQ decided she wanted them pulled because she wanted to buy a bottle water and a half a pickle at school. I could see the wheels turning. All that attention when she goes back to school and when everyone saw her....whew!

She's going to live on this until the teeth come in. Really, she's all about drama and attention to a point of obsession.

So here she is without her two front teeth. See that crazed look? I had to remind her that they had ALREADY pulled the teeth.

Here she is relaxed. Sadly, she still hasn't realized that she is not going to be able to eat that half pickle tomorrow without some work.

There she is pointing to the tooth fairy pillow where both her teeth were nestled safely.

Note that I got smart and hung the pillow on the front door knob. It was torture waiting until they fell asleep and not forgetting about it, ya know? Not only that, it's like mission impossible when they move the pillow from the location that you both put it at before they went to sleep. Then I'm stuck looking carefully under them, under the bed, arm stuck deep under the pillow.

This is just easier.

She did well, she didn't really know what she was in for. She didn't know about the pliers or needle. She freaked out a little until I told her she was doing way better than her older sister did.

Kids...they are crazy!

Turkey Butter, Turkey Butter...

Turkey Butter! (Sang to the tune of You Can Do It, or something like that from Cinderella.)

I dropped the kids off at school this morning and off I went, singing away to myself in the van.

I got to the store and the parking lot wasn't too crowded but there was a part of me who was envisioning this huge display of Turkey Butter and a line out the door.

I went in the store and grabbed one of those mini-carts and took off. I was dodging people left and right. I could see fear in the eyes of some of the shoppers as I swerved around them.

I went around the parameter of the store and NO turkey butter display. Fear started to creep up. It's 8:45 am, could I have missed it already? ARGH!

I decided to end at the butter section, where I was still expecting a huge turkey butter display. Nothing.

Then the clouds parted and the sun shone through and right between some freaky green olive oil butter and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter... there it was!

All SIX boxes. That's ALL that was there.

I grabbed for three of them and I was inspecting them when this woman tried to push me out with her cart. One of the boxes was crushed so I was reaching to exchange it and she tried to cut me off. Can you believe it? I knew it was a conspiracy!

But I still left with my three boxes of turkey butter and a bounce in my walk. LOL!!!

Isn't it beautiful?

A year's worth of waiting, realized. It's the little things that make me crazy, isn't it?

I don't have the Turkey or even the bread that this butter is going to go on...but right now, it's all good in the world.

Next month, Christmas Tree Butter.

Wow, an award for me?? *blush*

Kandy over at Ramblings of a Redneck Woman gave me this Wonder Woman Award.

I've never been given a blog award before and I was pretty shocked when I read that she thought I was worthy.

I've been thinking a lot about revamping this blog and maybe putting things out there. I've kept some stuff to myself because I didn't want to be found by certain people but honestly, I'm getting tired of people dictating my life and having to walk on eggshells well others are living life freely. I think a lot of my stress stems from trying to please the crowd and it's time that I pull back and center and do what I need to do even if it means I lose the kids.

All this will make more sense as I start to work towards what I want this blog to be.

Thanks again Kandy for this award. I think you are a Wonder Woman too!

The shut out---or my weird mission...

For the past three years I have tried to buy Turkey Butter. You know...the butter sculpted to look like a turkey.

I present to you exhibit A.

We only have one store that sells it and they have sold out every year. Every year, I go in and ask "where is it?" on the first day of the sale and they tell me "OH, that...it's gone." I've never even seen it live and in person.

Last year, I vowed that I would get my hands on some turkey butter this year. I've been reminding myself at random intervals "Turkey Butter". Even Hubs is in on the action.

I've been stalking the ads, calling the store, and FINALLY! It's on sale tomorrow. The plan, drop the kids off at school and go straight to said store. Purchase the elusive Turkey Butter and come straight home.

I will go postal if they tell me it's gone. POST-AL.

I believe there is a conspiracy and tomorrow--tomorrow is the culmination and moment of truth.

LOL!

Wii Got it...(Found this in my drafts...oops)

I have to admit, Wii almost took it back too.

The kids were awful. I had one kid...ONE out of FIVE, that participated in the Halloween party and it wasn't even the oldest.

It makes me angry because Hubby and I were so excited and happy to get this for them. I ran out to go get it bright and early and I was so relieved to have it and he was happy we could afford it and then it was like slap after slap with them just misbehaving.

I had just started Christmas shopping.We decided that whatever presents we have already purchased are what they get and we are done. Even if a couple only get one present.

I think they were so spoiled by Christmas last year they think they can do what they want and still get their way.

What Hubs got me (Finally!) !!!

Ok, I finally found my camera. Ignore the mess in this pic....but tada! See that sparkle? He got me a kick butt laptop and what kicks butt even more is that it was waaaaay cheap. I love it because it means I won't have to wait for him to get off the computer (which is why I suspect he got me this, so he wouldn't have to get off.) I can go anywhere in the house because we have wireless access. Actually, our whole town is wireless for free so I can go anywhere. I wish I would have remembered that before I locked myself in with Q*west for life. Oh well...

Now my only problem is finding the time to use the computer. The kid's insurance came through on the first so I have a ton o' appointments this week. We had one today, one tomorrow, we were supposed to have 5 on Wednesday, and two on Thursday but we had a cancellation and a reschedule for Thursday. So now it's just 3 on Wednesday which is good enough for me since that's catechism night. Phew.

This also means I can get back to school. One way or another.

Hey, let me ask you a question? I love these slippers (and the flannels, yeah they don't match but that doesn't stop me from dropping the kids off at school any-way. lol) But don't they look like they are on backwards.

Here's a normal shot.

Here's a crossed leg shot. These little basketballs are on the side so I assumed that they went on the outside, because why would they go on the inside?

Hmmmmm...
