Mama got her ass kicked by a 2" army man..................

This "guy" as a matter of fact! Seems innocent enough. Believe me, they are stealthy little shits. And they are everywhere in our house! This one tripped me up on the stairs this morning and about knocked me right down them!

My oldest son has an obsession with the army. We thought it was a phase. Going into the 3rd year of this obsession, I'm hoping it's still a phase. He talks army, watches army, plays army. In Kindergarten the teacher finally had to tell him that he could only talk about army on the playground at recess. The classroom was off limits. I've done the same thing at home. I try to limit the "talking" about it to a minimum of 35 hours a day...............Ughhhhh........I love it that he's so into things and really takes stuff seriously (when he wants to). Maybe it just gripes my ass that he knows more about every single war this country's ever been involved in than I do. And when he asks me a question and I answer him wrong he calls me on it and informs me there's no way that could be right. He watches the Military Channel on a regular basis. Documentaries.......and then insists on coming and finding me and updating me on what the program is saying. Then, I pretend to give a shit what it's about. I got him a box set of DVDs for Christmas. It includes documentary on EVERY war this country's ever been in. (Note to self: make sure the DVD player in the kids room is working..........so we don't have to watch these in the living room.)

Here's a pic of our tree.......and he apparently thought the presents needed guarding last night.

Good to know that GI Joe himself was in on the mission!!

He'll be extra pissed when he gets home today and sees his stuff has been messed with. And I'll be equally pissed when I have to spend 20 minutes finding that 1/100 guy that comes up missing. He has every piece of army equipment he could possibly need. So, what did I just do. Wrapped up the 2 remote control battling tanks and AK 47 we got him for Christmas. Cause I'm COOL like that!!!!!

On the agenda today is 3.5 miles on my sore foot from the above mentioned army man. :)

iPhone Bliss.....Diet Coke Karma........Gluten Free Friday (oops)

Which means that Fedex finally arrived!!!! Well, not exactly true. They arrived, in town 20+ miles from my house and thought they'd just drop it off at the school for me. How thoughtful of them. Blahhhhhh........ Cause I don't work at the school, or anywhere in town for that matter. At least it was in the direction of picking up the older child from his school. Point is.......I GOT IT!!! I LOVE IT!!!! And I shouldn't be this excited about getting a new phone, but I am so shut it!!! On to other business. Yesterday was day 5 of no diet coke. Well, it turned into 4 days of no diet coke and me drinking one when I got to town (to pick up my BADASS iPhone) cause I had a terrible headache yesterday. I was almost certain I had not been glutened so I assumed that the headache was from going cold turkey on the diet coke. The good thing was, it didn't taste near as wonderful as I thought it would. It did get rid ...

Horrible Blogger!!!

Slacker..........Not really, but I'm sure that's what some are thinking! I realized that I haven't blogged since the Lincoln 1/2. I realize that I very nearly died in that experience. :) But no excuse for neglecting my fans. All 5 of you. So, here's a little recap of what has been happening in this Runaway Ranchwife's life! T-ball started. The kids had their first games last night and they were amazing. And if you ask them, they won. They kicked that other team right in the ass. (Even though they do not keep score and no one gets out.) They don't need to know that though. They are certain the major leagues will be calling them today! We had the most amazing week branding. I usually bail about the 3rd night of camping and claim that mom the kids are tired and need a night in their own beds. Not so much this year. I loved camping and spending time with the boys and everyone else that works here....

Describes me perfectly yesterday. My kids were right on my ass all day claiming they were bored, or just plain trying to annoy me. It was brutal. I just wanted to watch the Husker game and shop online with some sort of quiet. Minus the swear words being thrown at the tv occasionally. I swear the Huskers are going to be responsible for sending me to an early grave. Bastards! So today we're meeting friends and taking the kids to a movie. At least they'll have to be quiet for an hour and a half. Or get kicked out of the theater. In that case they can go to kiddie jail while I enjoy that time of silence. :) In the meantime, they are going to clean up all their toys and do a little vacuuming for their mother. Ahhhh.....sweet revenge. On the diet front. Things are going as planned. I didn't gain anything over Thanksgiving. The wonderful thing about 2 shakes a day!! I'm right on track fo...
