Have you been wondering where I've been?

Yeah, me too! All I can say is that I've been really busy. Busy doing what, you ask? I have absolutely NO IDEA!? I've just been busy. I'm officially home alone {with all my kids} for the next-many days. I just hope I survive. It's an absolute wonder that I do when Lonnie is gone. I don't have a clue as to why - he is a man, and well, ladies - I'm sure you know, you know how much he "really" does around here with the kids. NOW, I'm not being mean or putting him down in anyway - I'm just keeping it real and him in check. You see, when he comes home - his "job" is done for the day. He can now be the fun-time dad. Me, my job is never done - I'm just mean-time mom - 24 hours a day. Me, mean - all the time - to my kids {and anybody else's kids that come over for that matter!}

Apparently, I need to be meaner - Hudson is still screaming - even with the vinegar trick. Tomorrow, I'm not going to get on to him at all and I'm going to see if he will quickly get over the screaming. Maybe when he sees "I don't care", he will just stop. Ahhh, yeah right!

Anyhoodle - you know I had to bring it up. Only because I brought up the VP debate. But this is it people, I'm not going to talk about this mess anymore after this post - only because I'm sick to death of the drama! But let us start here - When you are asked a question, you answer it, then you quickly follow it up with the " . . because . . . . " {or the "why" - call it whatever you want.} Both candidates would give there "because" first, then get to going on the "because" {you know, the reason for their answer} {even though they had yet to give an answer} and then they would forget to answer! Ridiculous! I'm afraid that I gave up after the first several questions and turned it off. I know it's a debate - but DEBATE. I'm just waiting for one of them to say, "Oh yeah, your momma's so fat, . . . ." - so because I turned off the tv, I have no real opinion on the matter and have decided I will not watch the last debate.

But that is it - no more. I can't stand myself when I start to think or talk about it.

I was tagged this week and here goes . . . .

• Link to the person who tagged you - Allison
  


• Post the rules on your blog


• Write six random things about yourself


• Tag six-ish people at the end of your post


• Let each person know he/she has been tagged


• Let the tagger know when your entry is up

As most of you know, I don't tag others - only because I would be super embarrassed if they didn't follow along! So, if anybody feels inclined to do this - please, by all means - DO!

So, 6 random things . . . .

1. I write the exact way I talk. Except when I talk, you would hear a VERY strong accent - a Tennessee accent. I really should do a video post - ha!

2. Almost every single stitch of clothing I own has paint on it.

3. I don't believe in taking vacations without my children {atleast until they are married!}

4. I'm sick and tired of people asking me when they see I have 4 kids 3 years of age and under, "do you know what causes that?" These are some of my responses, "No, I don't know what causes kids - do you care to explain?" "When is it your business about my sex life?" "Do you help support any of my kids? When you do, feel free to ask that question." "We wanted 4 kids. Is that okay with you?" "We were using birth control." and my all-time-favorite, "It's President Bush's fault." cha-cha-ching! {sorry, couldn't help myself!}

5. I love the fall - but it's because of the anticipation of the holidays. I love that feeling the cooler weather invokes.

6. I live for the few moments throughout the day when all 4 of my kids are happy - really happy - nobody is crying - when I can actually hear a few giggles - that's when I know that I'm doing something right. And trust me when I say "the few moments"!
