Stefan and his obsession(s)

My husband, yes my husband, the man most of you know is OBSESSED with fixing things to make them work and be like brand new! When he was little he used to take apart his bike or remote control cars just to put them back together. Some of you are probably thinking, what's wrong with that? Well, I think of Stefan as one of the characters of the old 70's show "Sanford & Son". He will collect and collect and collect things because he "might" use them one day. Hence the reason I'm posting this blog.

He got a wild hair up his hind end 2 weeks ago. He has always, always, always searched Craigslist.org for "deals". Well, he came across the "FREE" section of Craigslist. Talk about a gold mine for my husband! hahaha! He found a hot tub on there and low and behold he went and picked it up because he just knew he was going to be able to fix it up and we were going to enjoy "water" during the winter since the pool is not usable right now due to the water feeling like ice.

Well, he couldn't stop at just one hot tub. He was constantly on the website finding more hot tubs. He said he wanted to use them for "parts." UGH! You're thinking I have tons of hot tubs in my backyard now don't you? LOL Well, he has brought the hot tubs home, taken the parts off and then take the "shell" to the dump and dropped it off! hahahaha! So, needless to say, we don't have a stockpile of hot tubs in my backyard. LOL

However, we have one that is in perfect working condition that he got for free and fixed up and we are enjoying relaxing in it each and every night thanks to my husband, the step son of "Sanford & Son". :)

My bag! My bag!

I did it!  I went shopping and got "my bag(s)"  Whoohoo!

With my gift card I was able to get TWO purses, TWO wallets AND a "C" key ring!  hahahahahaha!  I was in heaven shopping.  I had the choice of anything in the store and this is what I chose - after much thought of course!  hahahahahaha!

Andre AKA King Lion

For those of you that don't know, Andre is in the gifted program at school and his "Project IDEAL" class did a play called "Why do Mosquitos buzz in your ear?"

Andre was King Lion and he had a huge speaking part.  He did sooooo good.  I was very proud of him.  Stefan and I think he's on the road to Julliard!  haha!

Do you want to know why Mosquito's buzz in your ear?  Well the African's believe that it is the mosquitos way of asking you if you're mad at them.  How cute huh?!

Enjoy the pics of KING LION!!!

Why do they lie?

I just don't understand it? Why lie about something you know it'll catch up to you? I'm sure it's like the pot calling the kettle black, because I know I did it when I was young, but still. Geesh!

First of all, Bink got his phone taken away. He deleted all of his messages and then told me he didn't have any?! I went on att.com, and showed him that he had texts on his phone from 8:30am to 2:45pm! all during school hours! He still chose to lie to me and told me he didn't text! WTH?! Are you kidding me?

Then, last night, the boys were in the hot tub...they know it's not a pool, you just sit and relax in it. Well, all of a sudden a huge splash of water came out over the side. Stefan asks them, "What happened? Who splashed?" What splash dad? There's no splash...again....are you kidding me??????

I don't get it! If I make it though these boys' childhood into young adulthood, I sooooo deserve a freakin' medal, for cryin' out loud!

Anyone have any words of wisdom? I'm about to sell my boys on ebay if I don't get any! LOL J/K!!!!

Country Girl's getting a COACH!

I have to say, after much hard work, mama's gettin' a COACH! The incentive came out from Gold Canyon June 1st and we had until August 30th to reach certain goals....I printed out the tracking form, I set little goals to reach the ultimate goal and I DID IT!

The incentive increments were a $200 card, a $400 card and an $800 card. I did every incentive there was and guess which one I got? You are right!!!!!!!! The $800 one!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! I should have my card around Oct. 20th or so and I am going shopping with someone else's money!

This country girl is now going to be city-fied! If at least looking at me from the outside! haha!

Thanks to everyone's support through all of this because I'm SURE, that whenever you saw me coming, you thought, "Oh gawd! Please don't let her mention GC, I'm sick of hearing about it!" But, you never voiced it out loud to me, and for that I appreciate you! LOL

Now...on to the next incentive - CASH AND TARGET GIFT CARDS!!! YEE-HAW!!!!
