Can I get a break?

You know the saying, if it's not one thing it's another...no truer words have been spoken.
A couple weeks ago while I was out of town my middle one ended up in the ER with a fishing lure thru his thumb...yes he was trying to get it down from a tree.  I thought I raised him smarter than that, you don't jump up and grab sharp things  (he's blonde, he can't help it).  Thanks mom and dad for handling that, and my awesome friends for keeping him and his sis the rest of the time I was gone.
Well....yesterday while I was trying to rest and relax, the oldest called, "Mom, I think I broke my ankle, I will be home in a few, can you take me to the Er?"   WTF, really...not where I want to be on a Tuesday night, not any night, the ER's around here completely suck...busy, busy, busy.
So off we went, him hopping along, me grumbling, and the two younger ones along for the ride. I think they just wanted to see what I was going to say to him...they love it when someone other than them is catching it!
Well, we were in and out, my apologies for my above ER reference.  Xrays revealed a bad sprain, and an unknown BB in the right leg...whaddya know, that's what that little bump is?!? So he's on crutches and supposed to be resting it.  We will see how long that lasts.
They say these type of things come in 3's...that leaves the youngest,  Lord help me!

Are you fracking kidding me?!

Man, I just love social media and teens...NOT!  I have facebook, yes I will admit that I do enjoy keeping up with friends from my past, and some of the new ones.  I was sucked into the FB craze because I had kids who have it.  I became their self appointed FB police.  I was diligent with checking their pages, their messages, and even their cell phones.  That was/is the rule in my home, I will have access to your info, pages, texts etc.  Yes I know that teens are slick and they know where the delete button is. 
Well sometimes life gets in the way, we get busy, we get lazy, we trust them to not make poor decisions.  With that being said, I decided to get nosey today, and boy what a f'n eye opener it was.  I learned that my middle kid was planning a party, and decided to post my address all over his page and in messages.  I guess he wanted a bonfire, which has been done in the past.  But those have been put on hold due to taking advantage of moms funness (is that a word?).  Also, I learned he was messaging random girlies and trying to get them to talk to him by pulling on their so called heart strings ( snarky teen girls don't have these)  but alas he tried a sob story...poor kid his mom was killed in a car accident, t-boned by a drunk driver...REALLY, are you fricking kidding me?  I am alive and well...actually made a nice lil embarrassing post on his page masquerading as him, calling him out!!
Shabam!!! Mom was here!
And to top it off he claims he has to live with his grandparents, because his dad is in the Army protecting our country...SERIOUSLY??? He doesn't even know that sorry ass that gave up rights to him and his sister when he was almost 3 and she was 1.  He doesn't even know what work is, much less working for the government, that may actually require and expenditure of energy.   Not his thing!
Sooooo, cant wait to leave work today and go handle this...fun fun fun!!

Normal as I know it

This weekend life has returned to our normal, controlled chaos!  I love it!  I guess you could say I'm the type who needs excitement and adventure. The busier, crazier, the better!!  

Had a baseball tourney all weekend beginning on Friday continuing thru today which is Sunday!  Back n forth to the Orlando area. We've won all 3 games so far. Go Eagles wood bat team!!  

I spent Saturday afternoon in the mud at Holopaw one of my fav places doing what I love most. Riding Atvs!!! God I needed that!  

And we got a horse, older barrel horse for Brooke to learn on, hope I can afford this shit! I swear I need a winning lotto ticket or a suga daddy!!  

Pics to follow, off to do laundry so my ass isn't running around naked, then to play with the horse and finally off to the last baseball game of the weekend! 

Adios

Vacay

Had a nice lil vacation. Went to Arizona to visit with a friend, saw Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Mt Zion Utah, Vegas, the Hoover dam. Enjoyed some of the most beautiful places on this earth. Had a pretty decent time. Didn't spend a dime on the one arm bandits along the way...that's self control kids!  Wish things would've ended on a better note, my friend is overthinking shit. That's tough on an old friendship no matter how strong it is. It fawking sucks!!  I guess I will see what this week has to bring. He asked me to stay by his side and remain loyal,  wtf does he think I've been doing?

On another note, the kids survived and only one trip to the ER while I was gone. Thank god or good mojo that I have the best of friends who really stepped up when my plan fell thru!  You really find out who your friends are!!

Now off to do laundry, get ready for the work week after being gone...it should be fun, and to tan!  I love my tanning bed!!
