Burning Down the House

Today started off with Logan wondering why he was not going to school. Logan has a strange sounding condition, he is allergic to the cold and today they were playing in wading pools and in sprinklers and that is one of the many things that brings him to a full wave of hives. He is forced to take medicine everyday and even with that he still breaks out so he has to avoid many common things.
Today was also the first day of summer, what I commonly call in a friendly way “my hell”. Today only Meghan, Emily and Brendan had school, everyone else was home, what fun. Emily created a twitter account for Logan who is 5, he was so funny he came running into tell us he said mommy, daddy, Emily just got me a titter. It was really funny.
I decided to try to work from my bedroom because my office seemed to be the hang out spot of the day. I had lots of work to do for some grant writing. My husband was trying to help. Dylan was driving us mad fighting with everyone.
The first major event of the day was when Emily came in all upset because Logan the 5 year old had taken a metal bat to her large wooden dollhouse and demolished the roof. I told her to leave it outside my door and that I would fix it later. David overheard Emily complaining that Logan destroyed her house and he took her house downstairs and out the door and completely destroyed it with an ax along with Dylan, so much for the broken back right?
To make matters worse, we hear Bradley in the distance call Dylan to come here, we didn’t think anything of it at the time until we started to smell smoke. They had built a fire outside and were burning the dollhouse. Emily was devastated. Tim runs outside to see what is on fire and starts screaming at them all, they all run inside and Tim has to put the fire out. Meanwhile I am inside having no clue what is going on. I was writing a travel review article.
Logan came in and was saying sorry to Emily and we put him in time out and made him sit on the end of my bed in my room. He fell off the bed, and jumped up and said “I’m okay” it was just funny you had to laugh even though he was in trouble.
Oh earlier in the day we were dealing with Bradley issues. See he now has no job so he slept till noon. He is a gifted web designer so we told him to start his own business. So we thought just maybe he would be up early today and would be getting things established, not Bradley, I guess he expects it to jump to him. He is also having girlfriend problems. His girlfriend likes to pay attention to what her friends think a little to much, she lives her life through them, and it is Bradley who gets hurt from it. Last I heard she wanted him back to take it slow. I have no clue where this is going to go. Bradley also has maturity issues. When he realized that I said something about his girlfriend on the blog he called her and told her to read it. We think he should pay more attention to getting his business off the ground or into getting another job because we are not going to deal with his drama on a daily basis to much else going on here. We really like his girlfriend and wish things worked out for him and feel if it is meant to be it will work, but also feel that they have to deal with their relationship themselves.
Well it is 10pm eastern standard time, we just ate dinner, ham steak, mac n cheese and corn, Tim my wonderful husband made it all. I was not feeling well and had to much work to do, so he made it all and even served me. One thing I can be thankful for everyday of my life is my husband, he takes great care of me. Now if I could only get my kids to do the same. Welcome to my world of crazy, funny times. Thank you for reading. I hope you continue to follow. Have a great night, hope you’ll follow tomorrow.

OMG I Do Have 9 Kids

Today has been one of those days where at the end of the day, I feel like I have 20 kids instead of 9, yeah like 9 is not bad enough. The day started off as what I call “Too Much Information Day”. My husband and I were at the grocery store and we get a picture text from our 13 year old daughter Meghan, it was a picture of a condemn that was found in Brad, the 18 year olds bedroom by our 5 year old, Logan. Of course Meghan had to take a picture of it and send it to us while we were shopping in Walmart. So we get home and call Brad up to our room to discuss the condemn, now on one hand we are happy he is using condemns on the other hand we are pissed he is having sex in our house. Then our oldest comes in, he is 20 to tell us that he had sex with his gf too, like gees like one sex talk is not enough. We get done with these discussions, and then David comes in because he is constipated, and doesn’t know what to do. Amanda who has been listing to the sex talk and David’s butt busting conversation thinks its not fair. Amanda, who is 16 has been listening behind and closed door comes in to say, “Why do TJ and Bradley get to have sex with their gf’s but it is a big deal if the word is even mentioned about her bf. . By the end of the night I am saying “Dear God, please help me come up with answers to some of these questions, and help me fall asleep…….”
