bug zapper

I bought Nathan a hand-held electric bug zapper tonight. It looks like a tennis racket. He was like a little kid on Christmas he is so excited. He has been running around inside & outside killing bugs all night. Do I know what to suprize my son with or what. The hot water pressure still does not work right. Kylie started out her shower tonight with some hot water pressure but by the end of her shower it was gone. So in order for her to rinse her hair I had to fill a bucket with hot water from the bathroom sink & had it to her so she could dump it on her hair. And I was multitasking and I was eating a bowl of cereal at the same time. My glasses are in so tomorrow morning I will pick them up. I'm excited to see correctly again. Kylie's car is in the shop, we will know tomorrow what is wrong with it. Hoping it doesn't cost too much.

water :(

Well Kylie goes to take a shower tonight and the hot water did not come out of the faucet.  I guess tomorrow Foster will have to once again try and fix it.  So once again in the morning in the dark I will be walking to grandma's to take a shower. Kylie & Nathan both did tonight.  I had a good evening with the kids.  I made chicken fettuccine for dinner and then we watched SVU together.  Hoping for a good weekend.  Going to my BFF's graduation on Saturday and Sunday is mother's day.  The kids have plans for me but I have no idea what.  They are trying really hard to surprise me.

water fixed

Foster got my hot water problem fixed today. I'm so excited, it was a pain to walk to grandma's when we needed to shower. We might be getting a pool for the summer. Kylie checked dome out today, grandma has agreed to pay for half. This weekend I'll go check some out myself :)

I can hear the bugs commiting sucide as they smash into the windows from outside. I'm just glad they are outside & not inside. Because if they were inside i'd have to clean up bug guts. My lige appears to revolve around bugs a lot these days. Maybe someday my life will revolve around something else.
7am this morning & I'm chasing chicken's around the yard, in my pj's. Trying to get them back into the chicken coop. I opened it to feed them & they decided it was time to jump out & run around the yard. Which it wasn't it was only feeding time. I was glad no one was watching cause I was quite funny in my purple pj dress & white crocs trying to catch the chicken. Ps-I have a fear of being pecked my the chickens when I try to pick them up. I ended up using a stick to herd them back into the coop.

air conditioner and new floor

Foster helped me put the new air conditioner in the living room yesterday.  Lance, Foster and Nathan put the new floor in Nathans room so now he can stop living/sleeping in the living room.  I'm working on laundry to start the new week tomorrow.  Kylie is working tonight until close.  I asked her to bring me cookies home. Subway has the best cookies ever and I've been craving chocolate today.  All 3 of the chicken's have been out and eating bugs and grass today.  I keep telling them "Eat all the ants, spiders, and bugs so that they won't come into the trailer.  I don't know if they listen to me or not.  Grandma got me some flowers that I need to go plant.  I guess that will be my last job for the day.

Chicken's & water

the water pressure for the hot water in the bath/tub shower has gone away. Saturday morning Kylie had to walk to grandma's to take a shower.  Everyday I feel like we are camping only it's fancy camping.  My mom has no idea what is wrong with the water pressure.  So for now everyday me and the kids will walk to grandma's to take a shower.  I went to Joplin this morning for my eye exam and my new glasses will be here in 7-10 days. I'm so excited I'll be able to see again.  My mom went to Joplin Saturday morning too, in the morning she bought two chickens (the real live kind).  I was leaving Joplin before her so I met up with her to bring the two chicken's home as it was hot on Saturday.  Well I get home and Lance get's the box with the chicken's in them and takes them to the chicken coop.  He come's back aournd to the front of the house about 10 minutes later.  I ask him "how are the chicken's" he says "one is dead but the other one is doing good".  So either the one chicken died while in my mom's car or it died while in my car. Either way I transported a dead chicken :(  Good news is that the chicken that survived laid an egg this morning.
