Random Tuesday Thought

Morning, well as you can see it's Tuesday and I've finally got my fingers back to the keyboard. This blogging with having 3 boys in the house is crazy. So today I've made an effort to shove all those things I've thought. this would make a good blog, into one random post courtesy of Keely and So go on over to Keely and pick up a badge and get to Random Rambling.




Note I'm not cheating btw, I wait for TUESDAY Morning to get my butt in a chair, cause before that I'm sleeping.,

This morning is getting low in foods time for groceries, only 1 more day and I'll go get more. We're out of cereal and waffles so today I've got to get up and make them breakfast. I chose pancakes, mix plop done! I guess though that they are so used to me saying "go play until I get up" or "go find cereal" that "It's ready" means "Stay in your room until she comes to find us?" well no I'm not going to come find you.

BTW I'm going to the dentist, last filling of the year, and WOW there were many. :( 16yrs of dental savings will hit you eventually.

The 2 older Boys will be in day camp next week so they will be less bored home with Mom cause apparently I'm "boring" and so I'm trying to plan out lunches. I feel like we're back to school? I hope they don't feel like it's school.

Am I the only one dreaming of the Staples "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year commercials?"




only 7wks until they get back to routine. It's the routine "they" crave right?

We took the boys out this weekend to Moncton. This is one of the BIGGER Cities here in My Province(everyone got all their hints together as to where I'm living? there's a test in 8yrs time), for TJ's 10th B-day. He loved it. I'm feeling a bit of a scrooge though, we didn't buy him a "gift" we just paid for all the "fun", and made the whole day about him. So first we hit the Crystal Palace and they played on all the amusement rides inside there.


Our Critter count is now at 3 more.... The boys came in Screaming on Friday after a big water gun fight to tell me that "Mom we have skunks!" (hold outer voice calm while not screaming outside) oh maybe it's the neighbour's cats? they are black and white!" (msn hubbie, "We have skunks, you WILL get rid of them!") ugh! something else to deal with. So for those playing at home, fox, cats, skunks, bears, and angry late night raccoons, voles and possibly gophers? Oh and there was a bird trapped in the garage after Hubbie repaired my gas tank out there. And if you want to really add to the count there are about a million mosquitoes!

I remember 1 year they had outdoor things but not this year. No bumper boats or go-carts, darn! They boys? they didn't mind at all and on a nice hot sunshiny day, no one got burnt?



Moncton also had very BIG antique and Custom Car show! WOW the cars. We had stopped for a potty run (still no #2 success there for MJ darn!) and saw this....


Some very friendly people from Maine brought this 1937 to the show, they were driving back to Maine through a scenic route. They offered that we could do this... too....

TJ of course says, "it's so nice that they picked my Birthday to bring all these cars to me?" HA! So my side of the family to say that! :)


So after watching the Cars on the "drag" in Moncton, they were expecting 1300 cars to show I think we saw 500 of those, we went to the Beach. Every Hotel in town had classic or custom cars parked in their parking lots. It looks like a great bunch of people, all sitting out with their lawn chairs having a chat with their neighbourly classic car owners. If I win the lotto maybe I could get me one of these cars? My dad is part of the "island" car club. He has an 81 Caddy. He and Mom go cruising.

Speaking of dad, he's on FB! (inner voice ACK!!!!!!!!) calm blue ocean, now to hide my "internetz me". :)





Now the beach is great for people that are confident swimmers, but I'm not! the boys haven't been to lessons, I know I suck but the only person to take them to lessons is me and I don't want them to see me sweat so I haven't. MJ does though think he can swim, I'm going to have to work on this more since we live pretty close to the ocean and vacation close to the ocean on "the island".

Anyone notice that Steak taste so much better off the BBQ when someone else is doing the BBqing? Or a restaurant does it because they do dishes too?

My hair needs some work, I'm not sure what kind of work but ah I have to go visit my mom and uh it's a thing of hers. I think because she's always had "short" hair after getting married and working that long hair just isn't "done" in her eyes? Well, I'll get the ends chopped off before heading to the Island.

The Island, I can't wait to go because the Hubbie has a list of things he(I) wants to complete while "home alone". (rubbing hands and making list longer)

Some of those activities might involve some toy removal, we'll see. He's got a lot of lawn mowers out there; oh and the kids toys too.

They whine every morning for me to feed them and that they are hungry, and the one morning I want them to eat a bit faster? they are running around like wild things!

The crop circle is doing well if anyone was wondering.

A 10yrold can bake a cake, yep!

7.5yrolds like to style their hair with Aloe Gel, nope it doesn't work but they are happy

4yrolds like to imitate 7.5yrolds but use Ketchup for colour.

Husbands that go to the USA for mail have a KFC addiction when he walks in the door and the guy behind the counter says "we're out of buffalo sauce", I could almost here the sigh up here in Canada.

Bills suck, I think Bill should get his own mail box with a shredder attached.

The laundry work out is now over, it's not worth it, run up the stairs, hang the clothes when the sun shines, watch the house go gray, run to the line take the clothes in fast, in the house, see the sun, back to the line, hang them up gain, fade to gray, run and catch them before the skies open up.... Back in the house, pull laundry back outside when the sun comes back only to discover that it's starting to rain again after you just get them up there? yeah my line looks like this


No it seriously is Summer up here, and no you don't need your snow tires on your car but maybe if you're coming this way bring lots of RAIN Gear. It's been raining every day for 1.5wks now I think. I'd have to check the weather channel but TV is useless here no digital, no cable no nothing!

There is a fine line between making mud pies and mud wrestling, I think the distinction is the "MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!" heard from the muddy crop circle.

Chasing your kids with the words "If I catch you(off he goes) I'm going to...." is like the great work out ever! I couldn't catch him at all! I think we circled the house 5 times before he gave up and chased me.



My kids seem to be able to hit any ball hit to them on a wii, but not in rl? We're going to work on that the Volleyball/Badminton net is pretty lonely out there with Abandon chair. REALLY I promise it doesn't usually rain this much here.



Oh look the sun! had to get a picture for proof.



It's great weather if you are a slug!
