Spring Break

Well today at 2:40 the beans will be officially out for spring break. That means my quiet mornings and afternoons will be a thing of the past for the next 10 days. That means I actually got to have “lunch” type foods in the homestead. That means there will be fights galore on the scale of Mike Tyson and the whole ear biting off thingy… I would say fighting like cats n dogs BUT my cat and doggers get along just fine-the beans not so much…

Don’t get me wrong I love having the beans home with me-there is no place I would rather them be,than home with me but it seems they don’t like each other that much sometimes.

I am certain I will be accused of loving one bean more than another bean at least 50 million times during the next 10 days,or that I let this bean get away with murder, or that this bean always gets what he/she wants and said bean doesn’t,that I treat this bean better than I treat this bean…and so on….

Oh it will be a joyous time and I have the solution to their Mike Tyson-esque’ fighting-I am gonna pimp em out! Yep each time they start fighting or arguing they will do a chore,yanno something they really hate, like vaccuming,dusting, sweeping and mopping, cleaning the toliet with a toothbrush all FOR FREE and TOGETHER. If that doesn’t work then I may just take em to a busy intersection with a big ol’ sign that reads ”I Don’t Play Well With Others” and have them standout there and wave to people as they drive by…maybe that will make them think twice before trying to kill someone in the homestead!

I know as a bean growing up my sisters and I fought,I know it’s normal that they fight-I mean these people who think everything between siblings should be candy apples and roses perplex me….so we fought and we are OK-right? Well I guess that’s debateable, but I think we are ok…I LOVE my Sisters and don’t know what I would do without them! My goal one day they will love and enjoy spending time with each other, Like I do with my sisters…

We had a HUGE problem here the other day lilest bean wore one of oldest beans zip-up,short sleeved cute green jackets to school-without asking permission! “If I was a GOOD mommy, I would have known this”-I was informed when oldest bean saw her in her attire-well in all fairness to me, it DID fit lilest bean and GEESH I can’t honestly be expected to keep up with what I actually buy each of the beans, am I? I don’t think oldest bean has ever even worn that green jacket and I am pretty sure when I bought it, I bought because it was $1.99. Had I been able to see into the future and known what chaos this lil green jacket would have caused, I prolly would have passed on it….So I hafta have this talk with lilest bean about other peoples belongings and stuff and her reply is “but it’s N-O-T-T-T other peoples stuff, it’s Abby’s” “but still we have to ask to borrow someone else’s things”, I tell her…she apologized to her big sister and all was good for at least 10mins before another fight/argument breaks out…

So my ex is taking oldest & middle bean to Six Flags over Texas next week. I am very happy that he will get to spend some good ol’ Mike Tyson,ear biting-fightin time with them two!  There is nothing quite like being coop’d up in a car with more than one bean for any amount of time! I wish him luck….

I am taking my lilest bean for an over-niter to Eureka Springs so she can feel like she has a story to tell/write about when she goes back to school and everyone writes “what I did on spring break….” Well thats not entirely true, I do want her to have someting to write about, but I also just want to get-away with her so we can bond and have some “mommie n me” memories and what better place than in Eureka Springs!

I have compiled a list of 3 places so she can choose where we stay,she has already said she wants to eat at the “victorian” mcdonalds & subway(I say we can do better BUT she’s the boss for this trip) I wanna stop and say during my “motel” hunting I found some GREAT rates and more people just willing to take my $$dollars$$ BUT one place which I will not name refused a one nighter during the week, I have to admit I was shocked, I have NEVER-EVER had anyone say “Thanks but No Thanks” basically we are holding out for someone who actually WANTS to stay longer than one nite is how I felt. Needless to say and this pains me to say this… I will never reccomend this establishment and to be honest with you I can find the good in any person,place or thing. This just completly surprised me-But with that said I am glad they are doing so good they can turn away biz…

So hopefully by tonight we will know where we are staying and if I know my lilest bean she is probably already packed and ready to go even though we aren’t leaving until next Wednesday…it is good to see that smile on her face, i just know she is gonna find new things she loves about ES and as she gets older and has her own family she will remember the times I took her to Eureka and maybe do the same with her children…

My confession for today: Life is like a box of Chocolates…and my lil weenee dogger just dug in the trash and ate rotten chocolate covered strawberries…
