Can I yell anymore???

It's been 4 days of summer break and it feels like 100. Anyone on the same page as me with this one? Here are the repeated phrases I have heard today:

I'm bored
It's my turn on the computer
Mom, (insert the name) is laughing at me
Mom, tell them to stop singing
Seat, check I've got the remote
What can I have to eat
Can we go school shopping? (ARE YOU SERIOUS? Hey I'll take you if you promise to go to summer school)
What can I do
I don't want to do that
It's too hot
Mom, she hit me
Mom, she pulled my hair
Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!!!!!!!!!!

HELP ME KEEP MY SANITY! I don't want to be remembered by my kids as a yelling mom!
Can I help it? Lilly is laying on the floor repeating hot dog, hot dog as I type. She doesn't even like hot dogs. They are out to get me!

Abby and basketball

As most of you know Abby loves basketball. She has been playing for about 5 years. She has been playing club ball for the last 3 years. There are some perks that come with that. We got 9th row tickets to the opening game of the Mercury this year. They won the championship last year for those of you who don't know much about them. So, the game was filled with stars and lots of fun people to stare at. There were all kinds of women who looked like men, and all kinds of women who looked like men. Get my point? It was a real ego booster for me being there. Mahamed Ali and his wife were by us, Dan Marleje and Mark West (old school Suns players). I got to sit and talk to them for a couple of minutes. And yes Dan is extremely good looking. We got to see Amorie Stadamier ( I'm sure I butchered his name) and talk to him. Josh snuck into the VIP section and got his autograph. We had a great day being together. It's nice that my kids are getting older and I can just hang out with them.

Zoo

We took one last run at the zoo last week before it got too hot. Highlight of the zoo: Lilly still is calling me Grandma. So we are chilling looking at the monkey's and Lilly says "Grandma this monkey doesn't have a mom. Do you know why? I said no. She said that the daddy monkey was hitting the mom monkey and the mom monkey got mad and ran away". Nice, I know you don't need to tell me. I am surrounded by other mom's with their kids as they are listening to this story thinking they probably think that is why I am raising Lilly (because I'm her grandma remember?) and her mom left her because the dad was hitting the mom. Never a dull moment with my Lilly.

I'm Back

Yes, it has been awhile. Sorry. So I have wanted to blog about this fun place that I went to about a month ago. It is a place that takes after the show "Who's line is it anyways". We had so much fun, and I had enough laughs to last me for the month. What they do is ask people in the audience to throw out ideas and they act them out. It was so crazy what they would come up with. The cool thing too is that it is family friendly. There is no age requirement to go. They sell popcorn, candy and drinks. No carpet and fold out chairs so it fine if your kids trash the place. There we mostly college kids on dates there, but don't let that stop you from bringing the family. We will be going this summer as a family night out.

The Jester'Z perform every Friday and Saturday night at 8:00 & 10pm at Theater 168. Tickets are $12 for all shows. There is no age restriction and never a drink minimum. (Concessions available at the snack bar)
Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 480-423-0120.

playdate

The black dog (Maggie Mae) is mine and the white one (Jimmy) my sister Laura's dog. These two dogs have so much fun together. We have to arrange playdates for them. They go nuts when they see each other. Funny how they are best friends too.

Just a heads up

So, I am totally clueless on the whole blog world. It was brought to my attention that if you click on your profile, then click on something you post as your favorites say your favorite movies a bunch of people will come up and you can click on their blog. My mom discovered this. I don't know how she had time to do this because I know she is so slammed at work trying to play her computer games, but luckily she did. I checked out Abby's because she has Red Hot Chili Peppers as one of her favorite bands. All of these people popped up. I am talking people in their 20's and 30's. She had access to their blogs. I clicked on a couple of them, and boy was I surprised. I got to see some guys dancing in just a thong, girls enjoying other girls and everything else. Luckily, Abby had no clue about this. I believe her when she said she had no clue. So, just a heads up for everyone out there. I am going to set their blogs to private. Not sure how to do that. If anyone knows how to do this let me know. I think I could also just not have favorites posted and that would do the trick. Hope this helps people out.

Pat Tillman

Here we are before we do the annual Pat Tillman race. We have done it all 4 years. You have my big brother Scott on the end, then my dad's girlfriend Jenny, Becca (she is married to my brother Scott)they were having early morning issues that is why they weren't standing next to each other, then you have me, and lastly my little sister. We had fun, but there were too many people there. I mean too many idoits there who don't know running ediquite. Now, I am no world class runner but I do know to not stop in my tracks and tie my shoe. I'm still harboring feeling towards the GROWN MAN who didn't have a clue. Anyways, we are doing the 1/2 marathon in Jan.. Come on board if you dare. It should be fun.
