Amongst other random things going on that are to much to blog about.....some other random occurrences....
Neighbor R came down last night for a couple beers and some conversation. We find out that they are moving to a house they bought in Hemet. First of all Hemet? And second...why?
He rents the property from his girlfriends parents who owe waaay more on the house than it is worth, so they are foreclosing.
Which brings me to the next question....what will happen with that property? one can only imagine the delights than will move in.
So then today The J's mother drops them off and wants to see me. Come to find out she backer the Lexus she borrows into our brand new addition.
And for anyone who cares....this happened Saturday. Yes, I know she told us today. Don't ask.
Don't get me wrong, the house will not fall over. But there is an obvious indentation and it is cracked from the spot she hit all the way to the corner. And her car is marked up.
Seriously?
After all this dies down we get a knock on the door and it is an OLD neighbor....like one we used to hang out with often, but disappeared before M and I were married. WTF?
Needless to say, it is time for a day trip out of this joint. So tomorrow B, H and I are taking a trip to the Orange Circle to Meet Grandma for lunch and some antique shopping. Not sure how I will maneuver a double stroller around that joint...but it is what it is.
Yeah, but still.....

The weekend...
First and most importantly.....or something, here is the one and only "Punk Rock Closet". It is everything I hoped and dreamed of and more. Thank you M!!!!!
Brody has a new thing where he will totally sit still for 10 minutes at a time. He loves to watch his DVD's. So i started putting him in our bed. He would start watching, fall asleep and then nap. Which is more than I can say for the last few weeks where he wont nap for anything and then is a gigantic pain in the ass at night.
This has never been a problem until..............
The great chapstick incident of 2010. Yes his face is covered in chapstick. Rosebud Salve to be more clear which is extra slimy!! And yes, he is doing this in our bed, with his hands.
Janee has procrastinated reading an entire book where she must now finish today. Brody, of course, has to hop on the bandwagon. He is super excited for homework, by the way, so he feels totally important right now.
So, since Janee was otherwise occupied, how else would the rest of us kill time? But to try to shoot an apple off our apple tree that is wrinkled and dehydrated, but to high no one can reach...Poor ONE apple hanging there since last year.

Rain
Here are some pictures from the last rainstorm out here. Actually, it washt the last smallish one, but the big on before....where it rained for about a week straight.
First off....the fire in the canyon. Notice the rain drops on the window....
Here is the road outside our dining room window. Notice the road looking like a river
And the aftermath of the river.
Luckily our driveway is on the other side of the house.
And then M and his little helper, moving dirt around for drainage.

Things I love....
1)Harlee's punk rock closet.
Her room had none. And being she is a girl, it seemed necessary being she has acumulate a shit ton of dresses and other things that probably shouldn't be shoved in a drawer. Besides, she has this funky corner in her room that has nothing in it. And it looked like shit. So, I conjured up a closet and asked M to build. Nothing some metal piping couldn't fix. I LOVE it. Jesse laughs saying it looks "gangster", but I prefer punk rock.
2) My neighbor calling me to ask me if she could give me some baby clothes her twins have outgrown. I said sure and she DROVE (Yes, my neighbors drive to our house) over with the 5 Rubbermade storage boxes full of clothes. This comes at the perfect time, since chunko has now outgrown a ton of her clothing.
3) The fact that it took me 45 minutes to get H to sleep, BUT she is in her crib. So far.
Things I hate:
1) The heinous Dr at the urgent care. First I wait 1 hour with B for us to see the Dr. Then we get put in the waiting room for another 25 minutes. Hello, my kid is 2 1/2 and sick, and so am I.....what do you expect is going to happen? I admit, like the terrible mom I am, or evil, or wise or whatever you want to call it....after 25 minutes in the SMALL room...of me controlling B like the civilized human I am, I thought F it!!
I can take no more. I figured maybe B's heinous tantrum would have the staff rushing in to get us the hell out of there....but no, that didn't work. On to plan B. Let B run amok in the room....I was exhausted, and sick...it had now been 1 hour and 45 minutes I let him go...and he thought it would be fun to rip up the paper roll they have to cover the bed. He barely tore any before bitch face Dr walked in and says to me "WOW! It looks like we have a wild indian in here!?" I said "yes, he is about maxed out as far as patience goes...but he is 2 and we have been here for almost 2 hours, so he is doing pretty well"
And she proceeded to give me the look of death.
F her!
However, we did get our antibiotics after giving me a 15 minute chat on how she fought with her 21 year old daughet this morning. F you. Me and my kid need to GO!
And for the record...here is my "sick wild man":
2) Dish network. Seriously. $24.99 a month is a great deal...until I realize that channels are not there that we used to have. Then I get a notice in the mail about their new packages! "subject to change without notice". Of course. The bright side, is I am upgraded now to the higher package and it is still half what Directv was.

Bad Blogger....
So, not only am I a bad blogger because I suck with pictures, but now I cant even manage to update it...
Valentines day was super romantic as you would expect being married to M.
We have our trailer out at my parents place in Temecula for an undetermined amount of time. So since we didn't have the J's from Thursday till Monday, we thought we would spend the long weekend out there. (Having only 2 out of 4 kids is still a weight off me)
So on the way out there Thursday, we stopped at Stater Brothers for some food and got a text from J & D that they were on their way. So in a mad rush to buy food and get where we were going, M took H and I took B and we went our separate ways. Upon meeting up at the checkout line, M had a small thing of tulips in his cart and he says to me "Do you want these?"
I knew the weekend was off to a fabulous start.
Aside from that, I was starting to feel congested. Little did I know that I was coming down with "Can't sleep at night for no reason, feel congested during the day but not bad enough to lay down" disease.
J & D came out and we had a great time again.
And then come Friday, M, B and I were all sick. M tried to golf, I tried to hang out, B tried to ride his bike around.....thank god for the Max & Ruby DVD, or B would have never laid in the trailer for even 5 minutes at a time.
We left Monday and I was never so happy to leave.....B and I went to the Dr. for antibiotics..turns out we both have bronchitis and I am sure Mike does too....
On another note: and I swear I am updating with pictures later....
My little chunker went to her two month checkup. 12 1/2 pounds! She has doubled in weight...She got 5 shots, and an oral vacc. She was a PITA the day of but has done well since.
This weeks project now that we are done with that extended trip in the trailer, is to get her to sleep in her crib.
She has been a car seat sleeper from about 2 weeks old and on.........
B was too, and he was so easy to move. I just decided to move him, and he went to sleep. End of story.
This finicky PITA will not be so easy I presume.
But tonight is the night. I am sure she will enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of Baby Einstein music and/or soothing sounds of the ocean. Just like the box said!
I am sort of sad because she has been sleeping 6-7 hours a night....every other night...so I am crossing my fingers she will do the same in her crib.
Janee starts her spring soccer league with practice again today. That was a nice 2 weeks off. No back to practice 2 times a week and games every weekend. At least we get out of the house!
