I am your present

Yesterday while I was cooking lunch Hailey walked up to me and said, "Mom, I have your present." "Oh yeah?", I said. She then replies, "Your present is ME!", and walked up and gave me a hug. It made me smile!

I haven't blogged much once again because this is the house of Virus. Hailey had it first and slept all day. Then it was passed on to Andrew and Elijah. They were much worse then Hailey so I took them into the Doctor. Turns out they both had croup and starts of ear infections! They sent us home w/ 16 prescriptions!!! Not kidding, 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is CRAZY!!!!

Well, I am off to make my rounds as a home nurse.

Bad me.... Bad, bad, me....

I know... its been what? A trazillion days since I have updated this thing? My camera has been dead and I keep forgetting to charge it. Nothing terrible interesting has happened to me lately either. Well, besides the condom I had to pick up off of the ground at the bus stop the other day. All I could envision is a group of kids... probably mine.... picking it up, and treating it like a balloon.

I have been trying to resusitate my grass. Which I think may be a lost cause. I spoke with housing yesterday and "he" said to water it everynight although it is against the rules. Out of all of these houses in the neighborhood I have not seen one green lawn.

Oh! It is 90 degrees here today! :)

Family 5 Band

John bought the kids Rock Band for the PS3 the other day. We had it once before but traded it for a Nintendo DS for Moses after his broke. The kids have been playing with it and we have learned a few new things.

1. Hailey has incredible rhythm on the drums. In fact, she doesn't do well on the easy level because of this. She over does it.
2. Moses does pretty well too.
3. Andrew is his usual showman self!
4. I completely suck at it as I do with anything that requires the slightest rhythm/coordination.
   

On another note- Andrew has been getting his occupational therapy, although the wonderful state of Arizona doesn't accept his IEP from other States. I guess they do not consider developmentally delayed a diagnosis, although it is actually a BUNCH of symptoms. Maybe someday that will change! :o)

Strange ending to the day

We took the kids to family night tonight at Moses' school. We mainly went because Moses wanted us to meet his girlfriend and she was going to be singing in the choir. I felt a bit stalkerish watching a bunch of kids sing in the choir that weren't mine!

White Trash

John took me to lunch today at a really fancy sushi bar. In fact, it was one of the fanciest places I have seen in town. While we were eating a couple, approximately in their 40's/50's came in. A Japanese employee saw them come in and started walking over to them to seat them from across the room. Then the man loudly says, "CHOP, CHOP, CHOP!!!" to the lady in a condescending tone! Both John and I were in shock! Our jaws hit the floor and I had to control myself from laughing. For a few minutes I thought it may had been a case of a "foot in mouth moment but the longer they sat there I realized it wasn't!

Next he received a phone call from someone that obviously must of asked how he was. Again he loudly says, "No sex, no drugs, no money and no alcohol so I'm not okay!" Again, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor! Then he became impatient with the server and he yells across the room and says, "Can you serve me now!!??"

To top the day off he called a mobile home company and puts them on speaker phone. It was so loud I probably can tell you the address of the place even with him sitting across the room. It turns out he was looking for a hose to a septic tank. Oh, his name is Hank.... I learned that too!! lol

The food was great! I had california rolls and spicy tuna rolls. I also had a giant clam roll which I enjoyed the most (besides the price). John had eel and salmon which he also liked. We will be visiting again there soon and lets hope the dinner show doesn't show up!

Sleepy Boy

Elijah has a tendency to fall asleep in his jumperoo and this time we finally caught it on camera. He jumps, nods off, jumps some more, nods off..... it is a vicious circle! LOL

Oh the FUN!!!

Today is my favorite day of the year! April Fools day! I look forward to this day months in advance. I begin planning weeks before hand. On this years agenda-

• John- I thought it was perfect to serve him with a fake eviction letter. The timing was perfect being that our military housing company was privatizing today meaning we had to sign a new lease on Friday. They had all new rules and regulations to abide by. Here is a copy of his "notice"- Dear Sgt. John (removed for privacy) Jr,
  
  Pursuant to the terms of your residential lease with (removed for privacy) - Fort Huachuca, you are currently in default of section 1-E of your lease. Within 30 days of receipt of this notice, you must execute one of the following three remedies:
  1. Pay $459.63 to cover the BAH associated with the number of unauthorized residents, retroactive to the move-in date, and begin paying a new monthly BAH of $1560.63, effective April 1, 2009;
  2. Evict the unauthorized residents from the property, and pay $3677.04 to cover the BAH associated with the unauthorized residents;
  3. Pay the remaining balance due on your lease and vacate the premises by 12:00 AM April 1, 2009.
  You must notify this office within 15 days of receipt of this notice with your intended remedy. Your prompt attention to this notice is required to avoid legal proceedings, including but not limited to official eviction and judgment and military reprimand for violating the lease terms, and accrued interest and legal fees.
  
  To discuss this notice, you may contact me at (951)775-xxxx , between 0730-1700 Monday-Friday.

• Holly- She received the same letter and was equally surprised! It was great fun to watch her scramble!
• Beth- I had Derek text her and say he was ticked with me, Then I texted him a message saying that my lawyer has filed a motion to increase the child support by $300 a month due to her inaccurate testimony. She caught me off the bat though... Darn!
• Johns mom- I had John call her in (fake) tears saying he was in jail and needed $4,000 for bail because I refused to get him out. For a moment she was in tears too!

The nights not over people!!!
