Where does time go?

It has been forever since I even looked at this blog. Must get better.
Well the kids all started school in Aug. Jessie is in 10th, Joey is in 5th his last year in elementary school. :( Sarah is in 2nd and Haley started Kindy. Of course this has been one of the coldest winters yet. They have missed alot with snow and ice. Just hope they don't have to go past the 10th. Jessie has girls camp the week of the 13th and then we leave for Tx for vacation on the 16th. have a family reunion with Kirk's side of the family on the 18th I guess. Then the next week we will take the kids to Sea World. Ben and his girls, Leah,TJ and their kids and then Toby are all going with us. It should be a really fun great time. We are all looking forward to it. the kids ask all the time about going to Sea World. thinking maybe we should have kept that on the downlow. lol.
I have done great with my bypass surgery. down to 120lbs now. Have a lot of extra skin that is beyond gross, but I can do so much more now that a year ago i wouldn't even think of doing. Ended up in the ER with pancreititus in Nov. and they found gall stones so out game my gall bladder.I knew when I had the bypass I would end up having to have it taken out. A lot of people do. The bad part was not being able to eat or drink for more than a day. all worth it in the end.Would do it all again tomorrow.
I have ended up on 5 CT's right now for scrapbooking. I need to get better at posting the layouts on my other blog for that stuff.
Our rabbits finally started having babies. We have 34 baby bunnies right now.
My van decided it needs work on the transmisson. We are praying and crossing our fingers that it only need the filter and fluids changed and not the whole transmisson.
My camera just before Christmas decided it needed to stop working right. Most of the time now I get nothing but a black picture. So we had planned on getting me a new one with the tax check, well then the dang van did this so there went my camera fund if we need a new transmisson. Have to wait to get the taxes back before I can even take the van in. going crazy without a camera and car. Well you know what they say. When it rains it pours.

hello again

I really wish I could get better at keeping up with this blog.
Haley came out this morning pulling a suit case and said she was moving to mexico. She said I had to drive her down and that Mexico needed her. I had to laugh

Haley funnies

She crawled in bed with me this morning and went back to sleep. When we got up we were goofing off and I was tickling her on her back. She has some bug bites on it and she told me through laghter "Mom stop tickling me your making my bug bites infected." Then we were acting like we were in the ocean and the sharks were trying to get us. I would grab her and roll all over saying "shark" she looked at me and asked me "what am I thinking mom" I told her I don't know what r u thinking? she told me "look into my eyes and tell me" so I looked and told her that she was thinking she loved me the most. She said nope so I asked her what r u thinking? she said "No it doesn't work that way you have to look in my eyes and tell me."

Waited too long again

Well I had gastric bypass surgery on the 4th of Jan. The first 2 weeks were really hard,but since then has not been too bad. I only have 15-20lbs left to lose. I can do so much more now. We are taking the kids to Kings Island on the 29th of next month and I really am looking forward to going and spending the day with them, and not be worried I wont fit in the seat. I can get up on my horse with no help at all. No bucket no nothing. it is such a nice feeling.
Yesterday I told Haley my tailbone hurt. It is still trying to get used to not having as much padding back there.lol anyway she looked at me and said "mom we don't have tails" I told her no but we do have tailbones. She promptly turned her head to look at her butt as best as she could and then looked at me and said "then way don't we have tails"
She told me several months ago that she was stopping school after preschool cause she didn't want to leave me all day every day.
We lost grandma to anaplastic thyroid cancer last week. Still trying to adjust to the fact that she is gone.

Wow been way too long

I had no idea it had been so long since I have updated this thing.Man I know I have forgooten tons of funny stuff the kids have said and done in the past 2 months. I am so depressed I didn't get those in here. So before I forget here is a Haley funny from today. Mom picked her up from school and got her a happy meal on the way home. Her toy is this stupid chipmunck from the new movie. Well she keeps making it talk.It was driving me and mom nuts.Mom told me she wanted to take the battaries out. I told her it was going to go swimming. She told me we are so bad. Well about then Haley comes running out from the back of the house. We told her to go wash it.She of course asked why. Mom told her" cause it has germs rom when they packed it" she then looked at mom and said "ok I'll wash it" she took a few steps and then turned around and said "but if i wash it it will stop" this child is too smart.
Now for an update on me. I finally had gastric bypass surgery on the 4th of this month. so far I am doing well. The first few days home were pure hell.I just wanted to die. I am past that now and getting better everyday. I even did dishes today. it hurt but I got them done. I am still really sore on my left side. Tomorrow I get my staples out and that is something I am really looking forward to. I have already lost about 14lbs in the past 1.5 weeks. I only have 68lbs to hit my goal weight. So ready for the wieght to really start falling off me. We got the kids a wii for Christmas and got me the fit plus so hoping that will help me at least on days I just can't get out. I still have my membership to the gym that as soon as I am able I will start using again. I am also wanting to start going to Zumba classes. It will help alot that Sunshine teaches them. Looking forward to those classes.Getting excerise and dancing all in one. what more can a person want?

Sex

We had the music on and the song all I wanna do was on and Joey said the guy on there wants to have sex with his wife. I asked where he heard that and he said at school. I asked him what else he knew he siad he knew what french sex was I asked him what it was and he said it was when both people got completly naked. I asked him why it was only the french that did and he said they were crazy

strange animal laughing

Jessie was out on the porch calling Sarah to come in.She came in and said "mom some strange animal is out there laughing at me. it goes waaah waaah waaah" I laugh and send her back out. Joey goes with her to the porch and they both come back in and Joey says the same thing and imatates it.Jessie looks at me all pittiful and says mom come listen. So Haley and I follow her and Joey outside and listen. we hear it right away and Jessie looks at me all worried and freaked out and Haley looks up at her and says "It's a duck Jessie" it was the duck that lives across the street. I about died laughing at her
