5 THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE

#1: MY MOM- I paid my mom's fare to come visit us and spend time w/ us for Christmas. She got in yesterday. I'm so glad she's here. My kids came home from school and she hid behind the door to surprise them. They were so excited.  My kids love having her around and I'm already dreading her leaving us!

#2:  SPENDING TIME WITH MY BRO'S FAMILY- My brother came over last night to see my mom. It was cute having the whole family under one roof. Well, not really the whole family but you know with only my younger bro & I living in Utah and all.  My oldest son (our jokester) says "Well we're just having a lil' family reunion up in here!" hahahahhaha You can tell we don't have family visit often! SMH. lol

#3: COUPONS FOR A FREE 12 PACK OF PEPSI - I wrote a lot of companies asking for help with my friend Mac Manu's funeral expenses. PepsiCo was kind enough to send  coupons to try to help. Can't wait to send them to Tarina (Mac's wife). I'm sure it will help a bit.

#4: TALKING TO MY TWIN: My sister is getting together a flower arrangement to take to Mac's funeral and she's gonna make it into a L & B (for Long Beach). We're trying to figure out costs etc. When we talk on the phone it's always a laughing marathon. I enjoy little moments like that. (:

#5: HAVING A JOB- I had to miss work yesterday to clean up my house and pick up my mom. I was so tired through out the week and of course I wait until the last minute to clean up. SMH. I'm glad I have a job though. Having another income in the house always helps. Although we're still struggling. But, before we would be behind on bills & now we're on top of bills. (mostly) lol Either way we are paying them! I can't complain. Their are others who are less fortunate!

FUNNY THINGS MY KIDS HAVE SAID OR DONE

 

 

- I found a dollar on the ground in pieces & yelled @ my daughter for ripping it! I asked her why & she replied "I was trying to make MORE money for you mommy cause you always say you need more money!" LOL Lil' booger better be glad it was just a dollar & don't you wish this could be true? hahaha

-Had to clean a mess my daughter made because she poured an ENTIRE bottle of mouthwash on her life size doll because she said she didn't want her doll to have stinky bref! JUST GR8! I guess on the brighter side the carpet smells good! lol Geez!

-I felt bad because I was cranky from being sick and shoo'd her daughter when she was trying to show me her picture and she says "I'm sorry mommy, so sorry. I'm sorry all the time mommy!" She's dramatic btw! lol I kissed her and said sorry! I just wish I would get better already! UGH!

-Daughter ask's "Mommy what happened to your boice?" I lost it sweety! "Kids let's go look for mommy's boice so she can talk again!" lol She's so cute! I feel a lot better today but I think I have strep throat. It's still sore. :(

- Iwas reading a book about a octopus to my kids for bed just now & my lil' one asks me "Mommy how many TESTICLES does a oc-o-puss have?" hahahhahaha Oh wth!

- I was lying next to my daughter talking to her. She turns to me & examines my face for about a min. Than she goes "Mommy you have a pretty smile!" If that isn't the most precious thing ever. I love those lil' moments! :)

- Kids is actin' up not listening & Jude tells them all 2 line up & hands them their candy! He tells them "Why haven't u cleaned up your room?" they say nothing!He makes them open their candy thinking their gonna eat it than snatches it & gobbles it up! "So did u deserve that candy?" kids give us the puppy dog eyes! "GO... CLEAN UP YOUR MESS OR I'M EATING ALL UR CANDY!" hahaha ROFL

- I went to the store & my daughter asked daddy if she can have a toy! He said no because he didn't have any money & she replied "Is it because mommy holds the purse & never lets you have it? hahahaha

- Leecie was helping me with the dishes. She asked, "Mommy, is this dish soap made in America? 'Cause if not, we probably better not use it." Where does she GET these things?

- I hear my son singing a song he don't even know....Something like a melody in my head, duh da duh it's like a ipod stuck on my face! hahaha Eh!

- My 4 yr. old daughter Leecie: 'Daad....' 'What?' 'I'm thirsty. Can you bring drink of water?' 'No, You had your chance. 5 min. later; 'Da-aaaad.....' 'WHAT?' 'I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??' I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll spank you!!' 5 min. later......'Daaaa-aaaad.....' 'WHAT!' 'When you come in to ...spank me,can you bring a drink of water? LMAO

I can't believe I wrote these down and didn't publish them. Well I have to start a new one cause boy oh boy are my kids some characters.

-Kimani says to the Elders "Do you guys have kids?" Me: "Son missionaries aren't supposed to have kids". Kimani: "Why, is it illegal or something?" Me: "You need to listen in church!" then my son Keanu stands up and starts reading the articles of faith and Leecie says "You can't have kids until your married!" and Kamerin says "Yeah, missionaries are married to God!" Boy was this embarrassing. For me at least because I'm responsible for my kids not attending church. SMH shame on me! lol
