ACLBOYS

Once upon a time there was a girl from the city.  This girl met a man from the country.  This man deep fried turkeys for Thanksgiving, while this girl frowned on this idea...oven roasting a turkey is the only way...WELL LET ME SHUT UP!!!  My hubby has been deep frying turkeys for four years and this year, my folks, his folks, Aydin, and Anthoney all enjoyed.  Poor Alec and Austin missed it this year, for it was their Mother's turn for T-Day this year.  Deep fried turkey is the ONLY way to go.  Having growing boys, its how fast can mom get food on the table.  I would have to say dear hubby and I have dinner hot and on the table in 90 min or less!!!  :)  I would have to say it was a successful T-Day  :) While I missed my other boys while they were at their mom's I did enjoy some bit of peace and quiet.  You know the oldest with his cell phone permanently attached to his ear with his girl friend on the other line, keeps him out of my...

Ok so I know everyone will go through this at least once.  The I PROTEST.  No more cooking, no more cleaning, no more car pools right?  Usually this happens at the age of well...Mom.  Until last night.  My 13 year old went out (on hmmm well I guess you could call it a date) last night.  He asked his dad to pick him up at 930 from the High School.  After waiting for an hour, and his cell phone going straight to voice mail...here he comes walking across the parking lot.  Now as parents we ALWAYS try to teach our children a lesson.  So when he got home he had a bucket up water and pine sol waiting for him with a toothbrush.  Yes a toothbrush.  All he had to do was clean the laundry room floor with a toothbrush.  After about 30 min of just sitting there and decided he was going to Protest...yes protest.  Are you serious?  Are you kidding me?  Honestly I was laughing hysterically in the other room.  He grew some ...

Remember when TGIF was a group of TV shows that was a must see on Friday nights?  Full House, Family Matters, etc.  I was always glued to the TV on Fridays in time to watch my shows.  Now its TGIF so I can take a break from work for a couple of days.  Actually..job #2 kicks in...Mom time. Tony's birthday is today!! :)  He's home, but will he take on the mommy role so i can have a break?  Do we ever expect our hubbies to do the job we do?  He did great today.  I had a doc appt this morning and he covered it all.  All the boys got out to school on time and he even made the boys breakfast!! :)  Then he came with me to take Aydin to school and the tear in his eye reminded me of the first couple of times I took him to school.  Now its, oh crap I'm 10 min late which means that 10 min less time I have to myself.  Hurry hurry Aydin, lets get to school.  kiss kiss and peace.  I know there are other mom's out there that feel ...

I mentioned I was a mom to 5 boys right?  Ok so lets just learn something.  If one has strep...they WILL ALL get strep.  So you might as well line them up at the docs for a quick swab, get the 5 gallon bucket of amoxicillin and call it a day.  Hell, you know mom is going to end up with it as well.   It saves time and gas. First is was Alec from kissing some little girls at school on the play ground.  Ok not so little, 13 like him.  The next day it was a check up for Ashton - 4 month to be exact.  4 days later, Ashton has an ear infection.  Then I got bronchitis.  4 days later Austin at the doc with strep.  Anthoney comes home this morning and is complaining of a soar throat.  REALLY REALLY REALLY????   He's next.  Next week it will probably be Aydin.  so far 4 of us are on Amoxicillian while 3 are hanging on strong.  Did I mention Alec still thinks he can go to school in shorts and a t-shirt when...

Ok so I am new to the blogging world, but definitely not to writing.  I have been journaling my whole life.  Since I was 10 actually...so that would be almost 20 years.  Normally I don't have time to sit down and write anymore, but I need to find something for me.  I looked everywhere for groups of moms like me, wives like me, sisters like me...and well I'm not sure one exists.  Lets see if I can sum it up into a few sentences.  I am a 29 year old third wife, working step mom and mom to 5 boys, sister to two deceased brothers, and a deceased brother in law, and 2 sisters plus I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs...does that sum it up?  LOL  Ok so I know I sound like a country song, but really I love my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I met my husband in Iraq.  He had 3 boys and was about to go through a divorce...for the second time.  When we became friends, all I ever heard was, no more wives and no more kids.  LOL...
