Weekend doings

Scout went camping with the Boy Scouts on Friday night. Feret went to Tylers. I stayed home but not before going to Wal-Mart. I bought Baby a wagon. Radio Flyer. Can't beat that for a 1st B-day gift. It has already prooved itself useful.
Saturday Baby and I were up early so we could make it to the beach at 8am. I had scheduled the whole Cub Scout Pack to attend the Coastal clean-up. Feret showed up with Tyler and their mom. Two other boys in my den showed and two Wolf scouts showed up. Well 6 out of 16 is not bad, right? We had a good time and we found lots of dead critters. We just had a spot of Red Tide so it was to be expected.
Feret went with Tyler to his soccer games and I was left with Baby again. We strolled down 5th Avenue through the art show and had a great time. After that we met up with Feret and Tyler at soccer. Then to lunch at the mall and finally I took Feret and Baby home.
Tyler finished up with his games about 5 and came and picked Feret up again. I was left with just Baby again. On Sunday we made our way to the grocery store and when we got home there was a note on the door that Scout made it home and was at Grandmas house. I went over to pick him up and then we came home and did some laundry and then we went to the community pool. It was really nice not many people there and again I used the wagon. I was dared to dive off the diving board. It was scary. It looks sooooo far down! It was the first time since I was about 6 years old that I have been on one. Then Scout and I had a race and he won! We went home and stopped by to check on the other scouts that live in our place. I was taking them to the Courthouse this morning and I needed them to be ready at 7:15am. So we stopped to remind them. One of them ended up staying over at our house along with another friend.
This morning I got the boys ready and we took Baby to the sitters and then we waited for Mr. Mcgarity to show up at the courthouse. They were being picked up by Carlos' mom at 11am. I went by on my lunch and they were not there so I hope she picked them up.
Oh, I forgot Feret went to Tampa with Tyler for one of his cousins B-day parties. He got home around 9pm.

"I have not seen one since I was in high school!"

I read on a blog today that there was this thing where you are tagged and you have to got to your 23rd post and find the 5th sentence and then write something about it. They called it 23/5. Whatever! So I proceeded to find my 23rd post and the 5th sentence and it is noted above.
I find it pretty funny, I mean it could mean sooo many different things! In my peticular case though, I was refering to a tornado. The boys and I had seen one on the way to our camping trip at the Peace River. It was pretty close and it got pretty big. Feret was scared of it and wanted out of there in a hurry. But we had stopped to eat and they made his sandwich wrong. When I went back into Micky-d's, the lady was closing the store and would not sell anything to me. Meanwhile it was dinner time and there was a line of cars a block long in the drive-thru. I would have been pissed if I was in that line!
There are many things I have not seen since high school tho. lets see...
1. My flat stomache
2. Me in a mini skirt (besides the pink one that I bought recently-it has shorts under it)
3. Many people that I called good friends
4. spending cash

quick note

We finished putting together our step stools last night! Although we ran a little overtime by a half hour. It was a controlled chaotic night! All the moms that were there helped out. No dads came! I did have one mom go out to her car a get a drill. The boys were supposed to do the work themselves and she proceeded to drill all the screws for him and another boy. Ugh! When I realised that that was what was happening I told the boy to try to do it himself. He did and then mom only tightened the screws down tight. Needless to say those two boys finished well before all the others who did do it themselves. Then the mom got mad that we ran late! What can ya do? We also had a small problem with the wood splitting but they turned out alright in the end. No one got hurt and I even changed a bit in the drill twice! (Some of the pre drilled holes where a little off so we had to re-drill the pilot holes.)
All in all we had a good experience and next week we will be staining them. Yay! I can't wait to show them off at the Pack meeting!

Ho hum...

I'm waiting for 4:30 to come around so I can go home. Not much going on except the usual stuff like, scouts. I have a meeting tonight. We are building our step stools, which reminds me that I need to stop by mom and dads house to pick up some screw drivers.
Only 10 more min. now. La La La...Ok I guess I'll get ready to go. At least it's not like last night, I was here till 6:15 waiting for the guys to get back to the shop. Made me late for the parent meeting for Boy Scouts. I really need to get a life, huh? All I ever talk about anymore is scouts and kids! Oh well.

Weekend

On Friday night Feret went to Tylers as usual and Scout went to Timmy's.
On Saturday I had to go to Tylers to check on the wood that his dad Skip was buying for the Cub Scout project we are doing on Tuesday. He had the piece of wood and I was asking him how I was going to get it to my dad's so I could cut it. He asked me what I was going to cut it with and when he found out that I was going to use a circular saw he offered to do it for me. Yay! The boys will be making a step stool. Each step stool has 6 pieces of wood and there are seven boys. I'll do the math for you thats 42 pieces of wood that needed to be cut out of a 4' x 8' piece of 3/4" plywood. That's also 16 pilot hols drilled and 16 counter sink holes drilled (so the nails will be flush with the wood). I am so glad that some men can't stand for a woman to do a man's job. After I left Tylers I went to check on Scout. He was going to stay until he called his dad. You see Rick has promised Scout a cell phone for the last two months. And every week he tells him he doesn't have the money. So Scout got pissed off and told him to go suck it. Then he didn't feel like staying at Timmy's house so I brought him home. We decided to sand and paint the rocking horse we got from the flea market so we went to walmart for the supplies. It turned out so good. He painted it brown and I sewed some yarn to velcro for the mane and tail. We also made a cousion for the seat. I looks awsome! I ended up taking him back over to Timmy's later.
On Sunday I called the boys to see if they wanted to go to Marco with me to see my Aunt Gracie and my cousin Joel and his wife Cindy and their three kids. I ended up going with just Baby. We had a great time swiming and she cooked the best lasagna in the world. Joel and Cindy's three kids are so cute. There is a boy and girl that are twins and they are in kindergarden, and a three year old who is going on 15. Too cute!
I picked up the boys and Skip says he got all the pieces cut and he had them all set up in the den. All he has left to do is the drilling and he says he will finish that on Monday night.
Scout has ISS all day today and he has to go to EA for the rest of the week (he punched a kid in the face but he says they were just messing around and the other kid should have gotten in trouble too)

It was two o'clock in the morning. I was in bed sleeping and Ferret comes in and climbs into bed with me and he says that his stomache hurts. I was barley awake and then all of a sudden he vomits all over my bed. I jumped up and screamed cause I didn't know what happened. Then I was telling him to go into the bathroom and trying to get the sheets off my bed. I threw everything into the washer and got Baby to stop crying and put him back to bed.
I walked out into the living room and found Feret sleeping on the couch. I rubbed his head and face with a wet towel and when I was convinced that he was asleep I curled up in the oversized leather chair. I sat and watched some infomercial about teeth whitening for about a half an hour and then I must have finally dozed off.
I woke to hearing the alarm going off in my bedroom only to find that if I didn't get a move on then I would surley be late for work. I jumped in the shower and got dressed. Woke up Feret and asked how he was feeling. He informed me that he was fine and he got ready for school.
Five hours later I'm sitting at work eating a salad and puttering about on the computer. I think it's teribly strange the way things happen sometimes. I mean how many people in this world were waken by a youngster in the middle of the night? We don't often hear those stories do we? Yet we all continue to go on as if its a normal thing. You are the first people I've told this to, I have noone else to tell, so why not. But many people don't have a blog, who do they tell? Who did I tell these stories to before I had a blog, you ask? Well I guess I told my mom. I sure hope my sons come to me with these kind of things. Gotta go. I think I need to talk to my mom!

Oh I forgot to tell you...

On Saturday at the flea market Rick was calling me and stuff. Then he came up there and was being a real jerk as usual. I was atempting to ignore him so he would go away but he stayed for about 10 min. He asked for a cigarette and light and they were in my car. He goes to the car and sees the work phone I had accidently brought home on Friday. He was trying to get the phone # off of it but I grabbed it from him. Then he goes back in my car and he comes out and asked what the perscription bottle was for. I looked at him and asked him what he was doing in my purse. He tryed to tell me that it was just on the seat but I know it wasn't. He told me "I didn't take any of them I just want to know what they were for" I told him to leave. and he asked Scout to follow him so he could talk to him for a min.
After he left I went to put my purse back together and I opened the bottle. There were three pills missing. Rick called me a few min later and I told him he is to never call me again and I don't care if he does not see the boys cause I know for a fact that he took the pills. He kept calling and I kept hanging up on him. He came back up and as soon as I saw him I pushed 911 on my phone. He insisted that he didn't take anything. Then he threatened me some more and I pretended to talk to a dispatcher..."Hi I need an officer to come. I have a restraining order on this guy and he is up here bothering me" He walked away saying some curse words. He has tried to call me since then as well.
He had his stepdad call and ask if I called the cops. I told him yes.

Intergalactica.

That should be what they call the Flea Market. There are all kinds of walks of life there. My son Scout and I packed the car on Friday night with all kinds of things that we had around the house. I had all of Baby's baby clothes from 0 to 9 months, a travel swing, exersaucer, and other various baby things. Scout went through all the board games and dvd's. We also had vhs tape movies and other odds and ends.
We got up at 5:30am and took Baby to Grandmas house. We got to the Flea Market at 7. We had a great spot on the middle corner. We sold almost all the dvd's while we were still setting up to other vendors. We only sold them for $2.00 and the tapes for $.50. We later found out that they took them beck to their booths and sold them for $6. Throughout the day Scout and I would take turns walking around and one time he came back with a car radio with a tape deck that he bought for $3. Later he sold it for $5. I found a guy who was selling things and he had a kids bear rug, the kind with the head, for only $3.
We met lots of interesting people and ended up making $103.00. Not bad for first timers, eh? I also found a wooden rocking horse for $3 from the same guy with the rug. It just needs to be sanded and re-painted but it is very sturdy. Another thing I found was a little ride on car for Baby. The lady only wanted $1 for it so I grabbed it. Then I felt like I owed her more so I asked her if she wanted the exersaucer. She took it and gave me back the dollar for the car. The next day she sold the exersaucer for $3. Scout ended up staying the night at Timmy's house and I went to Grandmas to see if we could sell any of her stuff.
At 7am I was back at the Market again but this time I was in a really bad spot. Even when I got to the market to shop around I never go down this isle. But we made $23 and the morning went by fast. Scout didn't show up till about 10:30 and by that time I was ready to go home. We ended up staying till 1:00 cause Beth came up and I got to walk around with her.
All in all it was a good experience. Scout got some experience in retail and we had a lot of laughs. (It was funny to watch people look into a box that was labled-ADULT VIDIOS YOU MUST BE 21 YRS OR OLDER TO LOOK!) perverts. That and this little four year old spanish boy who went by the name of poppy. He kept chasing me around with a pokemon card and growling. Scout kept telling him to stop touching me but he kept doing it. cute! Later he brought over a bag of toys to play with. They were all dinosaurs so of course I had to let the kid stay. Turns out his mom worked at a booth around the corner. She never came to check on him or anything. He was with us most of the day.
Will I do it again, you ask? Probly not. It cost me $40 for the booth and $20 for gas. You do the math. Scout says he doesn't owe me the booth $. He wants to keep all $123. I keep telling him that that is an expense and he keeps calling me an investor. I know that he is doing this for his scout project but he has got to learn, right?
