One of the greatest songs in the universe....

By one of the greatest bands in the universe..

Believe it or not...My kids LOVE Creedence....

I'll mix up a beverage....crank up the Creedence, and we all dance together.....food sizzling on the grill....everyone's happy....

Ahh....Summer days...

This past weekend was a total blur.

Saturday was Bart's birthday...He turned 35(for the first time..tee hee).

I called around to all of our friends last week and planned a celebration for both Friday AND Saturday Night. (Because we couldn't get everyone there on one night)

Friday night I made Sweet and Sour meatballs in the crockery cooker, two kinds of queso dip, 4 kinds of chips, homemade hummus, pita chips, and a HUGE Chocolate cake. There were probably about 15 guests at the first party and we all had a blast and got pretty blasted and made a HUGE mess.

Saturday morning when I woke up it looked like a bomb had gone off in my house, and on my front porch. I had another party starting that evening and LOTS of preparations to do so I got to work(with a pretty righteous hangover I may add)...

Saturday around 6 people started arriving for party #2. I cooked 15 pounds of chicken on the grill, 6 pounds of jumbo shrimp(peeled, deveined, and skewered wrapped in thick sliced peppered bacon)4 pounds of sausage, and two pork tenderloins. There was also Baked beans, potato salad, garlic bread, AND all of the leftover food from the night before(queso dips, meatballs, hummus, various chips) AND a whole new cake. Yes I LOVE to cook and bake.

The kids had been out riding around on the golf cart and somehow Christian got bounced from the seat going over some rough bumbs and embedded a rather large rock in his forehead. Bart rushed him to the ER and had him stitched up(3 stitches...and I'm sure it WON'T be the last time this happens). It was really not that bad, although I didn't feel that way at the time when my child was screaming and bleeding like a stuck pig.

Sunday I spent the greater portion of the day picking up beer bottles, cans, and cups and stuff and cleaning frosting off of places I have no idea how it got there...  I still need to go out there and fire up the grill and burn it down a bit and scrape the grates good.  We also took the kids to see Shrek The Third...which I have to say I was rather disappointed in. I don't know..I could have just been tired.

All in all it was a great weekend. Really great. Although Bart did say to me towards the end of yesterday that there were some people he at least expected to get a call or email from that had never even wished him a happy birthday. Guess it goes to show you who TRULY gives a shit about you and who is all fake.

I have to go and finish up the cleanup process before Christian's awards ceremony today at school. I have one awards ceremony today, and two tomorrow, and then the kids get out of school on Thursday at 1:40 for 3 long months of driving mommy mad. YAY!  I can hardly wait!!

Because I totally freaking rock as an awesome wife.

Seriously.

We had tickets with backstage passes to go and see Quiet Riot tonight. A band called Demon Driver was opening for them. Hmm. Anyways. More on that later.

We have a good friend who is going through a really awful divorce from this evil psychotic bitch. I figured since it's one of my husband's best friends and I really feel sorry for him I thought it would be great if the two of them go together and get trashed as two guys out at a metal show.

They were both so stoked.  Really, you should have seen their faces when I said they could go toghether without me.

It wasn't that I didn't want to see Quiet Riot, I did. I just didn't have enough hairspray to make my hair look like this:

And you know I would have had to do the big hair and leather and all to go see Quiet Riot: But I think my clothes from that era have all shrunk! ;-)

The funny thing is as much as I would have liked to see them in concert I don't think I would have truly enjoyed it as much as the boys will by themselves.  There are sure to be some trashy groupies there for them to stare at. And that's fine with me. As long as mine comes home to me. Got it?

I did make them promise to take pics and they took my vinyl album to get signed (Metal Health) since they get to go backstage and meet the band. It's not the end of the world for me. I checked out Demon Driver on myspace and trust me I'm saving myself one big headache....ugh.

So...looks like I'm staying home with the boy, and a bottle of Jim Beam. Sounds just fine to me. The boys will be in bed in less than two hours....it's gonna be a good nite afterall.

My best friend..

Jimmy...what more can I say about him...

I only met Jim a couple months ago...

We have been best friends ever since..

He has always been there for me...

He doesn't give me useless advice..

He doesn't leave the toilet seat up,

He doesn't steal the covers at night.

He doesn't make wise cracks about my butt.

I love you Jimmy.

 

Now don't get me wrong...I drink ONE night a week. Friday nights. It is officially 5:04pm Texas time so that means it is now a respectable hour for me to make a drink, and chill.

It's not like I have a problem like these people obviously do..

 

If I ever get to that point you all have my permission to do an "intervention"

Until then...

I am off to hang with Jim...

Oops sorry did I say that out loud??

I just got home with my kids...contemplating that first good ole' Jim Beam and Coke...mmmmmm I can feel it slide down my throat now..aherm..

Fridays....

What can I say about Fridays...

They are the end of the week of homework hell that I have to endure weekly as a mother of 3 school aged boys.

With 3 boys homework takes about 4 hours a night...yes you read that right...

For ELEMENTARY kids..

Austin is in 3rd grade....homework is RIDICULOUS in 3rd grade...so much to the point that I am already DREADING 4th grade...

Aaron is in 2nd grade....he is my mild autie/adhd/ocd kid...Homework is NO FUN with him...I practically have to sit on him to get homework done..

It's not much better with Christian my other Autistic 1st grader...

Almost makes me consider homeschooling just so there's no "homework" but then it would all be "homework" and mommy would get NO BREAKS...

So yes...it's friday...and I'm planning on getting my drink on..

God knows I've earned it this week...

Going to go and read everyone else's blogs now and comment...

THEN- Let the drinking begin!!

(oh and don't worry...I don't drink in front of the kids...I hide in the bathroom..JUST KIDDING)

What I meant to say there is I don't really get going until after the 9pm bedtime...
