Spring Break 2012

So it rained a bunch on Sat and Sun. Sunday afternoon late the boyz come over and the sun is finally peeking out over the clouds and tree tops.  Water is rushing down the creek in front of our house. This is to much temptation for ANYONE..so in goes the cutest 4 and 6 yr old boys to there knees in the creek of cold water.  Fun, giggles and lots of splashing.  Janie asks if I have plans on Monday I say no, then say yes.......they can stay with me.  She will drop them off, I say let them spend the night so they can sleep in.
All the clothes get dumped on the back porch and naked butts run to the tub....I love Mr. Giggles bubbles.  Kyle always wants 3 times more bubbles than water, so this time I do it.  If I can figure out how to post a picture I will.  the little bit of water that was in the tub found its way to the floor and  I was left with to soapy little boys to shower off.
So we all go to bed, this time it is Kenny's turn to sleep with Pa and Kyle is stuck with me.  I am never there first choice because I don't sleep with scuba equipment attached to my face. ( Kent's C-Pap mask) So I am the one that makes them say there prayers...If I should die before I wake...usually gets there attention and brings on a whole bunch of questions. So we talk a bunch which is right down my alley.
This morn we wake up and Kyle get to choose breakfast......NO donuts, NO cinnamon rolls. He chose Panny Cakes and syrup....Kenny really wanted waffles, so I stabbed his pancake with the tater masher and he was good with it. No I have no waffle iron named Sparky, Karen Mays! Well after breakfast they immediatley wanted to go outside, it is beautiful so I say sure...WAIT!!!!your shoes are still wet from last night, I wash and dry them, this takes most of the morning so we decide to go to McD. and play for awhile with clean shoes to compliment a few ckn nuggets. After McD we are off to WalMart, Kenny wants to go to the dollar Store, you can get more toys at the dollar store than at WMart. I tell him the treats on  Pa to relax and enjoy looking and shopping. He is the best kid, he would bring over a toy and say if I get this one how many more can I have? Kyle wants a sword and thats ALL.  They both seems satified with the toys they chose so I remember the shoe thing and we go for some rubber boots. Kenny ask if he has to put his toy back if he gets those boots? Kyle aint buyng no shoes he hates shoes. I tell Kenny, Nope you can have both....Now they both get to play Tball this year so we look at the gloves.  I let them pick out a glove Kyle could care less, again Kenny has his eye on them toys....DON"T worry about it Kenny I got this. He will pinch every penny ten times before he makes a decision, yes he would get that from his Pa......
So finally we are on the way home.  Janie calls it is 4 she will be there soon, thank you thank you thankyou Mom for the boots, the ones thy have are way to small so they were needed. She was thrilled with the gloves and toys too.
Well later on that afternoon she sends the boys with something for Pa and they are running thru the woods right for the creek.  They stop on a dime and both of them look down at there feet, then plunge right in the water.......Yep they got them rubber boots on...score one for Nen without the scuba gear... 

Take a minute here to Thank the Good Lord for all the blessings I have in my life.

And to all a good night......Nen

Se Abla Espano ???

I think that mean you speak Spanish....well NO I don't, so I ask and Josh says I speak some Spanish, so I transfer the call.  He starts out so strong on his phone, I was really impressed. then the look of fear comes across his face.  The other end of the line was so proud to hear someone speaky de Espano, apprently this guy goes into great detail about whatever he called for and Josh was totally silent..No Clue..could NOT respond..I faintly understood Josh to say Telly phono Numero, call you back later.  I was laughing so hard, I didn't pee but it did feel good to laugh at him! He found someone to translate and all is right with the world.
Not much of a post but Pinterest is calling my name.....
OH!!!!  I got our tickets the Country Living Antique Show in Austin!!!!  Yipee Look out Netter we are coming your way!

Laugh till you pee your pants

Anyone beside me ready to do that???I am so ready for all the sadness to be over.  I want to laugh. I want to enjoy my job, I want a new bathroom, I want Kent's stress test to be over, it's stressing me out!
I met the ppl that bought Mom and Doe's house....I really like them.  They are totally remodeling the kitchen. It will include a dishwasher! What a great idea. Can you believe it, the house was built in 1967 and to this day never had a dishwasher. Gee Mom, guess this lady didn't have any kids to do chores! Some of my fondest memories where at that kitchen sink. Well's here to new memories at a new sink in the happiest house I ever knew.
I did get to laugh a little at work last week. We had benchmarks for 4th grade writing. They had to write a story about there favorite person. So naturally " The Day at the Waterpark" was one of the titles....okay you gotta laugh about that...just saying.  There was this other time when we ask the kids to write thank you notes to a sponsor for a good deed. We sent out a little letter stating it would be nice to thank the kind people for all they did for our school.  One of the thank you's was worded exactly like that..Dear Sponsor, it would be nice to thank kind ppl.................I kept that one in my secret File!
Hope Paul is doing well, we enjoyed seeing Carla and Morgan, Katelyn and the family. Daddy Shy would be proud to see the turn out.  Much ado about nothing is what I bet he would say.
Kent got tired of my floor in this closet I call my computer room, so he put down matching laminet flooring like the rest of the house.  I keep saying no one see this but me, but it bothered him enough he crawled around on his belly for 2 days.  I must say it is nice not to hang up my chair on carpet.  Thank you Kent in all your wisdom...Now remodel my bathroom!
Gonna watch the Mavs whip those Clippers....
This for Net if she is reading it:  Sure as grass grows round the stump your my lil sugar lump! Happy Valentine day from Pa Buster and me!!
Nite to all and to all Nitey Nite!  Nene

my oh my the pie

I love that slogan.....also the name Piggy Smalls...I just giggle everytime I think of that name.  I read it on FB its the name of a pet swine of one of my friends. Speaking of swine,    Kharley's new porker is Big Bertha, she is huge and in heat they told me.  She needs to be on medication.  I was "helping" her(kharley) at the barn and Bertha bolted for the door, so DumbAss here steps in front of Big Bertha and was knocked up against the barn, which did not give.  How do you stop a pig in heat? She was determine to get out of there and I was nothing but in the way.  I left after she broke loose and told Kharley..See Ya!!
 There were other pig ppl there so I did not leave her by herself. But Kentlee and I went WEE WEE WEE all the home!!!!
Kyle has the Flu, sad, Janie has been off with him all week and is in jeopardy of losing her job, Jeff is no help, so I told her I would keep him tomorrow and Friday.  If he gives me the flu on Canton weekend....hell to pay boy!!!!
this past weekend I was digging thru the storage bldg and found Aunt Myrtles recipe box.  I have had the best time going thru all the recipes she had.  I can tell you this..There are 100's of recipes for prune cakes and plum puddings.  Big on Prunes!!!!  Some of the recipes were hand written by Granny Mc (my great granny) and signed and dated.  it would say written by Ida Aug. 1958.
I also found the coolest Jello Brand Jello recipe booklet.  Dated 1923 the graphics in it is AWESOME!! They look like the original Campbell Soup kids in the book.  So neat and I am so proud I did not throw away all that stuff and junk that Kent calls it!
Kent had a scare.  He thought he was having some heart issues, so we went to his dr. in Canton. He took xrays and did lab work and a EKG.  It all showed normal but to be on the safe side Kent will have a stress test this month.  2 day stress test a Friday and Monday.  That is enough to stress him out.  Having to be off work 2 days to walk on a treadmill!!  He will be glad when this is over for sure.
Okay the Mavs are playing Thunder gotta go watch that, with a bowl of ice cream w/choc. syrup....I aint having no stress test!!  LOL!!
Good nite to all and to all a Good nite!  Go MAVS!!   Nen

Member ME?

That's what Kyle tells his speech therapist. Hey Member me? I am so fortunate to be close enough to get told all the funnies that come out of Kyle's mouth.
Kent got a new Hot Rod Magazine, So Kent, Kenny and Kyle all sitting in the swing looking at every page, picking out the one they wanted.  Asking Pa if it was a Ford..YUK! we dont like Fords Pa. So Funny listening to the Big Kid tell the 2 little kids One day guys we will have one just like it.
Kent told me today he was going to get the 68 Chevelle ready for Kharley she is 11, maybe it will happen in the next 5 years.  Then he started talking about getting the trucks fixed for the boyz. He got 9 or 11 years to gets those going.
Kharley has started basketball season, her team has played 3 times only lost 1. They have a good team this year. I hope they get to go back to the playoff's.  Maybe it will be in Greenville this year!
Kent's uncle Paul and aunt Brenda took us to eat last nite and then came back here and we visited until almost 930.  It was wonderful. Had not really got to visit with them since before the McKenzie Christmas. We are going to try to make it a monthly event. I love them both so much.
We worked outside all day today. We have so many dead trees in front of our house, we stacked limbs and then set them on fire.  Kent put the blade on the tractor and kept it stacked up for me.  The wind was out of the south so no danger in catching to much on fire.  It felt so good to be outside.
I had put a blanket in the washer and was going to give it to a friend of mine and it fell apart.  I had no idea it was a foam type blanket, it melted in the washer.  I had to get the vaccum to clean the washer...weirdest material I have ever seen. So sorry friend no blanket for you.
Kent got invited to the Barret Jackson Auction in Arizona with Cord and David. He could not go but we had the best time watching Cord bid on cars.  Can't believe he bought a purple Caddy!  There was a wonderful red Chevelle for a mere 70K.........He really needs to love me more than his daughter!! Dang, maybe next time...yeah right! 
I did get another invite to the Bahama's by Cord and his family,  this time I aint passing it up! Going in May!
Since I have discovered Pinterest it is very hard to update this blog.  But I will try.  you satified Net?
The Good wife is on in 30 minutes so I have to get ready!
Love to all and to all a Good Week/Month or whenever I see you next.  XOXOXOXO Nen

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon

Wrap your presents to your darling....I love that song by Willie Nelson.. I am thru with buying gifts! I have so many wonderful people in my life, I always think I have forgotten someone.  I hope they forgive me if I do. After I had my Asthma attack I am so sorry I didn't pay my sweet Momma more attention when she had hers.  Just didn't understand the ailment and I regret not feeling sorry for her more.
This is the second time in my life I have had off these 2 weeks at Christmas, without going back into school to produce a payroll or work on year end notices and reports.  I am loving that!
Tutz and I are going to eat at Veronia tonite on Lake Fork.  If you haven't tried it you should.  Italian Food, it is right next to A J's fish house.  Looking forward to it.
I get to keep the boyz tomorrow, Kharley will hve the day off (ha ha) We may make more candy or a cake or just cook, who knows. I think Susan has her g-kids we may go play with them, we will see.
Kent is off next week, he needs some time off without going to a doctor.  First year in a while he won't be going hunting with the guys.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, spend some time with the ones you love and those that need your love. If you travel be safe and don't be in a hurry, it will be there when you get there.
Love to all and to all a good night! Nen

In the HOUSE..

Okay what's up with this weather, all summer it was so hot you could not enjoy the outside. What's after summer....Fall, beautiful fall weather....It is so cold this fall you can not enjoy the outside.  I am sick of my house. I want to be outside for just a little while without sweat or a coat, is that to much to ask for? My house should have no dust bunnies anywhere and all the closets should be organized, the floors imaculate, but is it? HAHAHAHA!!! I have Facebook and this Blog, it is a vacuum of my time. Although I don't know how I ever got to be so social before I discovered it.  I made friends the old fashioned way.  I warted them to death until they liked me!
I am tired of thinking about sickness, deaths and funerals.
I still love my husband, kid and grandkids.
I cherish my friends.
I love my life.
I appreciate all the blessings that surround me.
I have to cook Kent's supper!

Good nite to all and to all a good nite!!  love to each...Nen
