How I know I have PMS
1) Everyone around me has an attitude problem
2) Chocolate has become one of the basic food groups
3) The dryer has shrunk every last pair of my jeans (weird how this happens)
4) My husband is agreeing with everything I say
5) I'm using my cell phone to dial up every bumper sticker that says, "How's my driving? Call 1-800--."
6) Everyone's head looks like an invitation to batting practice.
7) I'm convinced there's a God and He's male.
8) I'm counting down the days until menopause.
9) I'm sure that my kids are scheming to drive me crazy.
10) The ibuprofen bottle is empty and I bought it yesterday.

Forever Young
So I put on the movie "Forever Young". I haven't seen it in forever but it was on one of the movie channels so I recorded it. For those that haven't seen this movie is stars Mel Gibson and he has his body frozen in the 1920's and then 2 boys stumble across his body and of course he defrosts and comes back to life lol The movie makes no sense but it's a love story and I like it.
Anyway...........
It got me thinking of the 60min special or was it 20/20 I have no clue...it was about the process of Cryopreservation. It's the process of freezing the body to be brought back to life at some point in the future. This concept seriously freaks me out. People actually pay like 150,000 to have their body frozen for the slight possibility of science figuring out how to bring them back to life in the future so they can in a way "live forever". But if your frugal you can pay just a mere 50,000 to have your brain frozen so someday scientists can clone the rest of your body. How insane is this? The famous baseball player Ted Williams is frozen right now (I don't really know who this is but I read it lol). I read that his head is actually frozen seperately...gross!
Why would anyone do this? As of right now we (*we meaning doctors, scientists) don't know how to revive these frozen bodies yet....and no one knows if *we will ever know. So basically you freeze your body in hope that they will figure it out one day. This is all just to disturbing for me to truely comprehend. People are actually frozen right now as I type this, head down in big metal tubes all over the country. Why would anyone want to live forever? If *we were actually able to revive a body at any time that person would most likely come back as a vegetable.
So who else is completely freaked out by this? Anyone know someone who has paid to have it done to their body? Opinions?

Got hit by the bug
Yesteday the boys and I had a wonderful time at the beach! It was perfect beach weather...in Hampton anyway. Actually we had an advisory out saying that elderly and childrens should only be out for an hour at a time because of a debry warning. We've had bad smoke here from the NC fires for the last few weeks...well I guess today they put out a warning saying they didn't want people breathing it in.
But in Hampton it was nice and clear, no smell of camp fire like we've become acustomed to. So I took advantage of the last of smoke and headed to the beach. From Newport news all the way to Richmond was bad though...Hampton just got lucky.
We spent a good 4hrs there, I got tons of sun and kids had a blast.....we had friends with us to which always makes it more enjoyable.
Later I dropped the kids off at the baseball game with my parents, and headed to meet Marisha and Hannah out for drinks. We didn't know it but the bar we picked was having Karaoke last night so it was hilarious. It was a good night.
UNTIL about 4am when I woke up with horrible stomach cramps and feeling sick to my stomach. I was up most of the night until I finally threw up and felt good enough to sleep. I think I caught a stomach bug that has been going around cause i've been throwin up about every 30mins since it started =( I really hope my kids don't get this.
So my day is going to be spent laying on the couch, sipping ginger ale, and trying to find things to keep the boys occupied.

"The music brings my body down"
Corbin has been into music and dancing for quite sometime now. He blares the tv with music and dances ALL day long. He has choreography to pretty much every Disney channel video or show. He's not bad either, he has rhythm and can dance pretty good. The boy has a shyness problem though. So no one but myself and landon ever really see the extent of what this boy can do. He's finally getting old enough to go into a dance class, but the boy refuses..he's to scared.
Corbin's new thing right now is Camp Rock...anyone else's kids watch this movie? I now know these songs by heart because the movie is recorded on our DVR and it is played about 100 times a day. He doesn't watch the whole movie 100times, no he sits with the remote and rewinds and fastforwards to all the songs. He has choreographed each song, knows the words by heart. I wake up to this music everyday. I get up and come downstairs and Corbin usually has tons of new things to show me. He says things like "Check out my new move"....or "See in the music, it just brings me body down"...this is as he's demonstrating what his move is to that part in the song.
Corbin has informed me that this movie is far better then High School Musical 1 AND 2.
At least once a day I find random videos on my digital camera of Corbin dancing lol He places the camera on a table or something in the morning when I'm not up and records himself dancing and singing.
Now all this might sound cute and all...but he's obsessed. It's a little bit more then an interest he has. He clearly has a passion for music and dancing. It's hard cause I wish I could get him past his shyness cause he could be great if he allowed himself to be taught.
Who knows maybe this will be something that sticks with him for life or maybe it's just a childhood phase. I'll have to wait and see. In the meantime I would love to get him into a Hip Hop class...anyones kids want to take it with him so he's not alone???? =)

This week
David came down for the concert on Saturday and his boss Paul told him to take a few days so he got to stay till Tuesday.
We didn't do much, lack of funds lol We just hung out really. Jack has had baseball games everyday for the Allstars so we've been to all of those....we always enjoy ourselves.
We hit the pool a couple times, the kids had a blast doing canon balls off the diving board....and a few belly flops here and there lol
Tuesday I had our Hula meeting, we went over a new dance we just learned and then started another one. Of course there was far more talking and chatting then there was actual working lol like always.
I left there around 3pm, took Hannah home, I watched theseus for 40mins till Marisha got home from work. I was going to have to Babysit Neely's kids at 4 but last minute she canceled. Then I was also going to have to watch my friend Rachels kids at 445 and last minute she canceled cause her hubby got home early lol I everyone canceled on me...not that I minded really. I went to go meet David and the boys at the pool but right as I got there they were heading out....oh well.
Today we are going to the Beach with some friends, and then another one of Jack's baseball games.....there is a chance I might go out for some drinks with Marisha...but not sure yet.
I was going to head up to David's this week but decided not to. I feel a little guilty about it but at the same time I just can't go up there and be trapped in an apartment for a week when it's summer and my kids want to be out at the beach or pool....and so do I.
If he didn't have to work all day everyday while we are there it would be different...but it sucks. I go up there and end up being alone with the kids in a strange area I don't know, in an apartment...just not cool.
Well off to get ready for the sun...of course that is if the smoke doesn't force us back indoors (NC fires)

Saturday- 21st
This past week is kind of a blur, I was trying to think back to each day to remember what we did but I honestly have no clue!
I know we've been to the beach a few times. I've had to take Jack to his baseball practices everyday. Hula meeting on Tuesday, went out for a few drinks with my friend that night. Wednesday we went to the Virginia living museum with friends, Thursday cleaned and went out to dinner with my friend that night, friday cleaned I think lol Just normal stuff I geuss.
Yesterday, Saturday was busy though. Day started out with Jack's first All stars baseball game. But before I could head there I had to drop off the Hula bin at Neely's house, then hit the bank to cash a check, then get some coffee and then to the game. Game lasted till 12pm and then we had to head up to Newport news to the Dance recital. Lauren's ballet classes were in the first recital at 1pm...which were adorable. Then the 2nd recital started at 3pm for Noveigh's dance team and the hula/tahitian dances neely teaches. So we were there from 1-4pm. Then we left and went home. I had to eat and get ready as fast as I could. David drove down so he met me at the house. Then at 5pm we left the kids with my parents and met up at Laurens house. It was Me, David, Lauren, guy Rob, Marisha (it was her bday), Hannah. We piled into my mother car (sat more people) and headed down to Va beach for the Bill Joel concert.
I have been to many concerts at the Amphitheatre...but WOW is all I can say. I have never seen so many people before. We had AWESOME seats!!! very close and dead center. Marisha and Hannah had lawn seats...I felt bad for them =( The concert was amazing!!!
Took us about an hour to drive home...counting getting outa the parking lot...not to bad. We started a fire in my parents backyard and hung out some more after the kids were in bed. It was a long day, but a very enjoyable day!

Father's day (trying to catch up)
I am really far behind on my blogging. I have pictures back from last week on Father's day that I still haven't uploaded from my camera. My camera battery is dead and I can't find the charger @@ Oh well so i'll just write about it instead of posting pictures.
On Father's day we had no plans. David wasn't able to come down so I had decided we were going to just hang at home..I planned on dying my hair.
Around 12pm Corbin started acting funny, visibly upset. I sat down and asked him what was up. He was VERY upset that we were not spending Father's Day with David. I tried to explain to him that Father's day can be anyday...we could celebrate it in the few days when we would see him. But that didn't fly with Corbin...he was very emotionally upset by him not being with his Daddy. So I called David up and I asked him if he would be able to meet us in Richmond. Richmond is kinda of our middle point. it's about an hour and 20mins for me...and hour and 40 for him. So we agreed to meet in Richmond at 5pm. Once I told the boys we were going they were thrilled!
So we got ready and headed out around 3pm. About 20mins into our drive we hit traffic. It was the worst traffic I had been in for awhile. It was a slow crawl the entire way to Richmond...took us the 2 full hours to get there.
We met David at a place called O'charleys for dinner. The boys gave him his Father's day gift. Then we headed over to a near by park to play. It was in a wooded park so once they got sick of playing on the playground we walked the trails in the woods(my favorite part). After the park we headed to Dairy Queen for some ice cream, and then found a grassy field to throw around a football....I tried but i'm not very good. After all that was done it was about 8pm and I needed to head home....so we said goodbye to David and we drove home. The boys left very satisfied and happy and slept great that night!

Whew Saturday
Saturday started out pretty lazy. David left before we even woke up. We went over to my parents house so I could get some coffee...the boys just played outside for a while.
I knew I wanted to head to the mall that day, mainly because I got wiped out at the beach on friday and lost my sunglasses....so I needed to go buy some new ones. So I got me and the boys ready and we headed out.
We were all hungry so I stopped at one of our favorite chinese buffets for lunch. It's SO good they have a mongolian section and a sushi bar.....which is pretty much all I eat..but they have the rest of the buffet food that really isn't very good. But the mongolian and suhi make up for it!
After lunch we headed to JCpenneys. I have a gift card there so I knew that's where I wanted to buy my sunglasses. I really had no luck at all finding any. They were all just "eh ok"...yet 20bucks @@ ya no thanks. I ended up getting Theseus 3 pairs of shorts (clearance 2.99) 4 tank tops for me (clearance 5.59) two towels for the kids (3.99) and some summer kid dishes that were on sale 70% off. So I did pretty good.
When I was standing in line to pay the boys asked if they could go to the restrooms....they were like 10feets away so I said sure go ahead. Well I went thru the line, paid and finished and they were still in there! So I went to the bathroom and Corbin came out of the family bathroom saying that I better get in there. Of course that never sounds good. I went inside and there was poop everywhere. Poor Corbin tried to handle it and clearn it up but he just didn't do a very good job. Landon I guess couldn't hold and it and exploded...it was gross and liquid...ugh
So I spent the next 30mins cleaning the bathroom, cleaning Landon, washing his clothes in the sink. I had to put him in one of the pairs of shorts I bought for the baby lol Hey I had to make it outa the store. I was very stressed and frustrated at that point.
I then got a call from Lauren asking me why I wasn't at the ball field for Jack's championship game. I told him landon pooped his pants in the mall and she shut her mouth real quick and said she was sorry lol
So after we got home and bathed landon, got a new set of clothes...we finally headed to the ball game. It was a big event. They had free food, big blow up jumpy thing for the kids, dunk tanks...they really made it awesome for the kids.
The ball game was intense! They stayed pretty even the entire game...even had to go into an extra inning cause they were stuck at 3-3. But the other team scored one more run and that was the end of the game. So Jack lost, but man did they put up a good fight!!!! Very proud!

Beach day
Friday....David and I took the kids down to Va beach to play in the ocean. We live about 40mins away from the actual boardwalk and it's thru the tunnel so we don't go there that often. Half way there I realized I had forgotten my camera...so no pics =( It was a beautiful day, around 90ish. We got down there went to one of the little shops and bought a couple new boogie boards. Then we headed down to the water. The waves were huge, a little bigger then I would have liked. Corbin got wiped out on his board a couple times, but the last one he hit his head at the bottom of the ocean and he stayed away from the water after that...poor guy. Landon and I went out past the breaking of the waves and had fun jumping them. David was in the water from the second we got there till the second we left lol Me and the boys were laying in the sun and Dave would not leave the water lol It as pretty funny watching him body surf.
We stayed there till we had enough of the sun and then stopped on the way to car for some frozen custard. Once we started heading home we remembered why we don't normally drive down there. We got stuck in dead stop tunnel traffic for 2hrs. I was really tempted to lay on the hood of the car to get some more sun lol I decided against it though lol
We eventually got home but I was cold, tired and sandy. I was so thrilled to be able to hope in the shower...felt great. Then I got the kids bathed and then David was last.
After we were all nice and cleaned up we headed over to my parents house for a BBQ. We had hamburgers and hotdogs (well I had a turkey burger) and the kids roasted marshmellows in the fire. We had a great time!!! It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day!

Fun filled day
After the park we headed home, picked up Jack and Noveigh, and headed home to get ready for the beach. I figured it was perfect beach weather...still a good breeze yet still hot in the sun. Dusty and her boys met us there and we started at the beach till almost 5pm...I would have stayed longer but I had to have Jack at his baseball game by 530, which he won and now his team goes into the championships. The beach was wonderful, not to many Jellyfish and the waves were big enough for the kids to have a blast on their boogie boards!

Saturday/Today
Posted by Jenna at 12:48 PM 0 comments
Friday
First half of Friday was pretty relaxing, it was a normal day. Took Ethan to math, went to Hannah's to practice a dance,picked up Jack from school (half day), and then had to get ready for a show.
We wer scheduled to perform at Relay for Life at 6pm and then again at 11pm. I left at 430pm, took kids to Dad, then picked up Hannah. We drove to Todds stadium. We got lucky with parking but it was HOT and we had to carry our big hula bin, the headdresses, and the drum. So we made it to the entrance and we just sat there and waited for the other girls. The 6pm show Neely couldn't go to because Noveigh had a dance banquet. So once Dusty and Krista showed up we made our way to the stage. We dropped our stuff off and then walked to the bathroom to put on half of the costuming. I was sweating so bad just from walking cause it was humid. At 6pm we went on, the show went very well. Dusty had to do the talking for the first time and I was nervous about it but she rocked.
After that show we watched the opening ceremony, and walked around and checked the place out. We had to wait around until 11pm so we had way to much time to kill. Neely got there around 830/9...Krista had left cause she couldn't do the 2nd show.
My mother showed up with the boys to watch, I was nervous cause it was so late I thought they would be awful but they weren't...they did good.
We went on at 11pm, we had a way better crowd the 2nd time around....it went great I loved it!
It had cooled down, I was kinda cold actually so that helped. Weather turned out to be perfect and BOTH shows were awesome. But boy was I exhausted. I didn't get home till 1230am....I crashed hard when I got home. Of course that was after getting a few dishes washed, making sure the boys uniforms were in the dryer, feeding the dog, checking both toilets and if they were flushed, and preparing everything for today which was baseball day.....next blog lol
Relay for life is a wonderful cause and we were thrilled we got to be involved....people raved and i'm sure we will be asked to come again next year.

blah
We've had illness passing thru the family, colds, sore throats, just overall yuckiness. Over a week ago I came down with this headache that just would not go away. It would move from one side of my head to the other. I had it for a week. Then the headache went away and I got a sore throat and a fever, then it moved to my chest and it felt like it weighed a ton, and now all that is gone but I have no voice.
Of course when you are a mom you aren't allowed sick days. So I had baseball all day Saturday, got a sunburn cause i'm a dork and didn't put anything on my back and I wore a tube top lol
Took the kids to the carnival Saturday night, Sunday David kept the kids out all day at the carnival and pool...I was able to relax a little and went to the Sex and the city movie but then I had the show that evening....was like 2hrs of a workout it was bad.
Today I'm doing NOTHING. I've had some Hula calls come in which have been hard to take cause I can't talk....dealing with the kids has sucked without a voice. Oh tomorrow better get better!! I can't NOT talk lol it's driving me insane.
