Isabella talking to her daddy

Yes! Two posts in one day! No, I don't sit around eating BonBons! Although, my waistline looks like it! Anyho, here is what makes the late night screaming worth millions!

Yes, I am a Mother. No, really!

Well, it is Fall Outage time at the Ol' Power Plant. Which, they like to call "Load Reductions" now. Anyways, this means that Jesse gets home at about 7:30 PM, and works weekends. My son Parker, who is a little comedian, says this.....

Parker: "I wish Daddy was home."

Me: "Whys that?"

Parker: "Because."

Me: "Because why?"

Parker: "Because I want him here."
(this is a normal conversation with Parker)

Me: "Why do you want him here?"

Parker: "Because, that way we will have someone to take care of us."

Yes, this was a great day in the life of a stay at home mom.

Crack for candle lovers.

So, its been awhile. Didn't feel like I had anything interesting to say. Well, I thought I would tell you about this thing called Scentsy. Its wonderful. If you love candles, and most women do, you will LOOOOVE these! They are waxes that you burn in these warmers. Its not your regular tart burner. It warms with this low watt bulb. Which means, you can leave it on all day. You can also forget to turn it off, and not worry about it on the way to Wally World. They have all kinds of scents and burners. I have 2 in my house. And, I counted $5 in change to buy another wax today! Sad, I know. And, if this is Jesse reading this, I didn't use Parker's ice cream money! So, go to www.scentsy.com. Or, run up to Wildflowers here in Valliant. You wont be sorry! In fact, I just put in Pomegranate Orange. :)

Hurrican Ike-AKA Mass Panic Night

So, my husband and I run to Broken Bow Friday. To do some bunkbed shopping. We get to noticing that all the gas stations are packed. And at the first gas station, we make the comment about they must have cheap gas. The further we went into Broken Bow, the weirder it got. People lined up at every station! Some of them lined out into oncoming traffic! Then, it dawns on us! Mass Panic! They have heard that gas is going up to $5 a gallon due to Ike. Well, what these McCurtain County idiots don't get, is that $5 a gallon is price gouging. And, if worse comes to worse, and it does hit $5.......YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE IT! Unless, you buy a horse and buggy and wear black dresses. Which, sounds good to me! Save me that $130 budgeted every two weeks for gas! But, that's another story and rant! Anyways, my friends were calling me(not all of you!) and telling me to run out and get gas! OMG!!!!!! WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE! My thing is, if gas is $20 a gallon, and I NEED to go somewhere.......Guess what? I have to pay $20 a gallon! Or, get the horse out! IDIOTS! And, for those of you reading this that ran out and bought gas on the mass panic night.....I would tell you that you were stupid! Like I did all the other friends that called me. Anyho, Parker made $300 selling cookie dough for his school! Actually, Momma made $300, but we wont tell him! He will get the Spongebob flip phone for his prize. I kinda wanted the strobe light, but I'll let him pick!

Going out to eat tonight. Might sound like a small thing to you. But, we dont get out much. Sure, we are going out with friends of ours. And, they have 2 kids. So, Four adults and five kids. Should adults be out numbered by kids in a public setting? Then we call Jesse's mom. AKA WONDER GRANNY! Yes, I love my mother-in-law! She is GREAT! But anyways, we ask if she wants to meet us there. She says she might. But, then asks who else will be there. We tell her. She says she might pass, due to so many kids. I think I might as well.

So, I made a trip to Idabel to pick up some meds. No, not that kind of meds! I wish. Anyways, I run into this little store, to look for jeans. Fun thing to do for us women. But, they normally follow you around, like you are going to steal them blind. Well, Jack starts throwing a fit. And, by fit, I mean full blown in the floor, me dragging him! So, I do what all "good mothers" do. I spank him! Not once, not twice, but three times! I started to hand them the phone, so they could call DHS! They didn't follow me around anymore though! Then, I end up a friends store, and in walks a DHS woman! I asked her if she came for me! Oh well.

Ok, so here is my Good Mother story of the day..... I get up and fix Parker and Jack Oatmeal. And, I'm a really good mom, so I fix the microwave kind. Weeeeellllll...... Did you know that it comes out hot enough to burn your skin off? Yea! Jack finds this out! I'm such a good mother!
