Nothing to See Here

When I was 16 I had all the time in the world and nothing to do (well, I thought I had stuff to do but now I know – I didn’t have crap to do). Now I have too much to do and much less time to do it (at least it seems that way). Just why exactly does life work out that way? Sometimes I wonder why the hell we had another kid. Then of course there are times that the youngest is the easiest to deal with out of all of them. I want to take Keri and Mahala out and play softball and soccer but we can’t do it on the weekends cuz of the other kid. Just when I start feeling that way Mahala will come up with one of her “you don’t trust me” rants because I won’t let her hang out at the mall with her another 12 year old girl by themselves with 15 year old boys. Then, of course, I thank God I had another kid because I just know I am gonna have to put Mahala out of my misery one day. And then at least we have a backup kid I guess. Really though it’s not that bad and Mahala is making all A’s so far this year so I really have nothing to complain about. Keri has decided that even though she takes and hour or two to do her homework every night, she doesn’t need to turn that homework in to her teacher. Now go figure. What is that all about. I mean you do all the work but then don’t turn it in? I don’t get it at all. I’d call her lazy except that she gets it all done every day. I guess we need to figure out exactly how to get her to remember to turn it in. Well I finally followed in my sister’s footsteps (again) and opened a store in Ebay. Now that I have a blog like her and a store like her I am seriously going to think about trying to get along better with my spouse - which apparently she did. The store been doing pretty good. It’s just a ton of work to keep listing the items to keep stuff in it. We have plenty to list, though. Now all we have to do is convert our dining room into our Ebay room like we have been wanting to. I hope to get most of that done this weekend but I know better. Plus I have to ask my sis how she manages to go to yard sales without spending a ton of money every week. Between gas and lunch we spend way too much. If you want to check out the store go HERE. Then buy something!! Keri is playing softball for Northwest Forsyth County. It’s funny, she played the first few games and I didn’t really think she was enjoying herself. Then the same thing that happened to her in soccer seemed to happen in softball. It’s like one day a light came on in her head and she figured out what to do. The last game she fielded all the balls hit to her (she played Shortstop) and she even hit the ball her one time at bat. She was the only one to hit the opposing pitcher – she did get out though. And she also seemed to have a great time. Anyway, I hope it sticks because I love to see them play softball. Both of them are playing Fall soccer also so we got a busy Fall schedule going on right now. That's not a bad thing tho. We went to the Dizie Classic Fair yesterday. That was fun... for the kids at least. I really don't like it that much. We picked one of the only days they don;t sell unlimited ride bands so we used up all our tickets in about 2 1/2 hours. That was fine though cause I was ready to leave anyway. As I am now. Bye.
