Home again

I made it home Friday evening and have been trying to catch up on all the stuff that I normally do. Yesterday we went to pick up a few things from Eville and stopped at the Old Mill Resteraunt at around 9 pm for supper. After we ate until we were about to explode, we rolled into the van and arrived home after 10 pm. The kids were wiped and so were we. This morning we woke up and started straightening up the house. We cleaned the kitchen cabinets and the fridge out. After that we went for a swim to cool off. It was nice to relax in the pool. We all dried off and came inside to some lunch and took a quick nap. What a nice relaxing day as long as you dont spend alot of time outside.

Shaken Not Sturred

I don't know why all the exciting things have to happen while I am away. Here I am in sunny Phoenix and all sorts of exciting things are happening at home.

Yesterday, a friend for work gave me 5 HUGE Goldfish. I mean scaling and eaten HUGE. Well As soon as my plane touches down I call home to find out that one fish is MIA. My mind started to race with all the things that could have happened to this fish. I mean for this fish to up and vanish would be a pretty big feat. After about an hour of stomach churning worry about this poor fish and what I am going to tell my friend, I get a call that the thing has been hiding in a spot under a rock we didn't know existed until now. Now my stomach is still in knots but I am waiting for something else to happen since I am so conveniently close. Maybe the pond will catch fire next.

Haven't been here an hour and want to go home. I guess I will start climbing the walls. Maybe be in the next Spider man movie. His new villain Nervous Wreck. I just need a full body suit and some Speedos with an emblem of someone biting their finger nails on the chest.

Happy Belated Anniversary

Happy Belated Anniversary Brando!!!!

Cant wait for the next 16.

Laugh or Cry

Holiday World or Bust

Today we went to Holiday World, thanks to Pilot and Needles for letting us have their tickets. We wanted to go but didn't want to spend a bunch of money to get rained out and Needles being under the weather and unable to use the free tickets that her work gives her, we benefited by going with only having the purchase a ticket for Yuri. We fibed and said Yin was still 2 years old so she could get in for free $29.00 cause she missed it by 5 weeks. OUCH. Thanks again Pilot and Needles, we will have to go out to eat together, my treat, as long as we make sure and clear our wardrobe plans prior to the dinner date.

This was Yin's first time at Holiday World. Mom aka Brando took Yin to the kiddie park while Yuri and I went on the Raven. Yuri got off the coaster and complained that his head hurt so that was that for roller coasters for the day. Upon meeting up with Mom and Yin, she informed me that Yin was being a pain with wanting to ride a ride only to wait in line, get on the ride and then when Mom stepped away from her, Yin would start crying wanting off the ride. She had done this three times in the time we left them and met up with them again. I then took her to the seahorses ride and put her on the ride and stepped away. She began to cry for me. I told the attendant, "Crank her up." The sea horses went up and down and round and round with Yin setting there with a sad little face making her sad kitty cat noises. When she got off, I figured that Yin would be OK to ride some other ride. We put her on the little fishes ride only to drag her off before it could start because she was crying again. Heaven help us with this child.

Yuri rode the Raven and the canoes and then we went to the Holidog kiddie park and the kids played in the water a bit. Since they were wet, we headed to the Splashin Safari to play in the water park. Mom and Yin headed to the Crocodile Isle kiddie area while Yuri and I headed to the lazy river. We made three trips around the met up with Mom and Yin. We all headed to the new wave pool and enjoyed the waves crashing on us until our toes looked like white California raisins. We had the pork chop sandwiches at the local eatery and headed back into the wave pool. After we looked like shivering dead pirates on Pirates on the Caribbean I. We got dressed and went back to the drier side of the park. We rode the Tin Lizzies and the Gobbler Getaway. Then Mom and Yuri rode the bumper cars. Had about 10 pounds of fudge and tried one more time at the kiddie area for Yin's sake. Nutten Doin... By now Yin was pretty well tuckered and wasn't gonna have any of it. Being everyone was pooped, we headed for the car. A lady asked me if we wanted our hands stamped for reentry. I said, "No thanks." but I wanted to say that I couldn't handle a reentry today. We had a lot of fun but Yin will have more fun when she gets a little older. Also Yuri will have a better time when he gets a little bigger too. The Legend and the Voyage were a little too big a coaster for him this time.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Where has the week gone????

I have been on vacation this week and don't have a clue where it all went. Got off work last Friday and came home. We went out to eat and watch a softball game that evening.

Saturday we went to Mom and Dads to spend a few days. We had fun talking with family and riding the lawn mower and 4 wheeler around the safari trail. We also had fun getting a golf cart back to the house after the alternator quite charging. Hopefully it will get repaired before it leaves someone else stranded. Mom and Dad bought an inflatable pool and it was nice and warm on Monday so we all took a dip while Mom put her feet in the water.

Tuesday morning we got around and rounded up the stuff for our return trip up North to home. Brando stopped at Eville and bought me a few fish for my pond and we purchase a pool from Sam's for the kids. After we got home, we were pooped to do much so we rested.

The next day we set up the pool and started filling it. Since it was hot, we decided to go inside and watch a movie. The kids and Brando watched Everyone's Hero in the living room while I watched Pans Labyrinth in the bedroom. About 20 minutes to the ending I started getting a little headache so I took a Tylenol. After the movie was over I was sick with a full blown Migraine. I suffered from 2 pm till 7 pm when I threw up everything I had eaten before 2pm that was still in my stomach. I took a quick cool bath and at 9 pm got up to watch Ghost hunters still suffering. The left side of my head had let up but the right was still throbbing like a robins ass. When Ghost hunters went off I went straight to bed. I rolled around a bit wondering if I would be able to fall asleep but then I woke up in the morning with my head back to normal but my stomach was still a bit queasy.

Around noon I ate something and my stomach started to settle. And this is now Thursday. We went to Wally world and I purchased a couple of pots for my pond plants and we picked up a fan module for the van. We got home and I re potted the plants and checked the chemicals in the pool. We also put the solar cover on the pool to help warm it up. It was 72 degrees yesterday. While trekking back and forth to the dirt pile re potting plants. I nearly had a heart attack when I came very close to stepping on a snake. After pitching the snake in the field and getting the yard picked up, we went inside.

Today is Yuris Birthday and I went into his room this morning to sing him Happy Birthday. Who knows what this day has in store.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YURI!!!!!!!!
