Deep in the Heart of Texas

We have arrived.

First the necessary thank yous.

Jenn and Todd....Thank you so much for being so good to the Steins. Ya'll not only helped us move, but the you put us up for two days. All only days after Todd got home from iraq. Man, what great folks.

Amy and Jane...Thanks for helping with the move. Be careful what you offer (Steins staying with you on their return to Colorado), one day people will take you up on it.

Michelle.....I can not say enough about how sweet and kind you have been to the kids and I. Thank you for ALL you did. You are the greatest.

Tara.....for flying to Colorado only days after returning for Ireland and then spending 15 hours in the car with the kids and I , well and being their biatch.

And of course to my dad and Lisa and the terrific In-laws for planning to come all the way up to Colorado to help. I bet you are glad you didn't have to.

Clint Update:
Well, to all of you who are planning on sending Clint a package, do not bother with phonecards. He is able to call through a Moral line.

He is getting pretty adjusted....well as adjusted as you can be when you are under mortar fire during dinner. He will be going on some "field trips" and will get to see quite a bit of the country. Cool for him, but freeks me the fuck out.

He starts two of his final four college courses, the 29th of November. Yah baby. He will be coming back with a degree. Gotta love it.

And I thought I should Change the Title of My Blog

I was considering a new layout, a new title, well just an overall new feel to my blog. I mean some things have changed since I first started recording my thoughts and feelings of the going ons in my everyday life. Well, I am no longer taking Paxil and well, crap.....I think that is it. I thought the poop was really no longer an issue as well until this week. Someone decided that an oopsie poopsie was not something they might share with their mother. You know the lady who does the laundry. I was blessed with the joy, upon removing clean clothes form the laundry, an overwhelming smell of shit. Yep, SHIT!!!! I had almost all the clothes in the dryer and noticed a wad, a ball, a massive roll of poop. Apparently someone had pooped enough in their underwear and then just snuck it into the dirty laundry. GROSS!!!! I mean really?!?!?!? You don't think you might have at least given me a heads up so that I could pre-clean the undies. Man, boys are so gross!

The Return

I have begun to gather my thoughts and put them into mini posts. It was then that I decided that this blog was often the best therapy possible for the trials and tribulations of everyday life. It is of course a way to also preserve for posterity the strange and delightful things that my children say. Back soon.

Penis juice and vodka

We have one more week of school here, yet my children have already disconnected the brain switch. I hate to tell them but we will home school throughout the summer. Luckily for them we can get our work done in less then two hours with only three kids and of course the fact that I sneak projects in throughout our everyday activities. Ethan decided he is exempt from the school dress ode because school is almost out and the daughter has jumped on that band wagon. I decided to let it slide. I figure a cute little t-shirt isn't going to ruin any one's grades, they were all turned in on the 24Th, so we will see if I get a call from the school. So today's little golden nugget of delight is brought to you by Ethan. Mom:Ethan, quit messing with your business. Go to your room if you want to do that. Ethan: I am not messing with it, it hurts. It feels like I am going to bleed when I pee. Mom: Oh honey, I am sorry but you will have to go to your Dad. He is in charge of penises. I handl
