Inlaws, most people have them- no one wants them!

Ok. So I wasn't going to EVER blog about my inlaws (I thought it would cause family drama) but, hey, they are a BIG part of my life, good or BAD! 
Don't get me wrong, my husband's family can be fun, loving, blah blah blah! BUT the bad is always going to over ride the good. You know what it's like, right? Everything is going good, everyone is getting along so well and then BAM! Someone says one little thing and it's World War 3. And war time seems to last 3 times as long as peace time in this family! It seems like this one particular family member can't stand for there to be peace and harmony. She thrives on drama! (And if she read this she would NEVER think I was talking about her!) But really, when she's not around, everyone gets along and it's just I don't know peaceful, normal, just AHHHH! Sure we all don't agree all the time but oh my! She would argue and tell me that my name isn't Heather if the mood struck! And UGH! She will complain that say, her mom treats so and so better than her, yet she turns right around and does the EXACT same thing only multiply it times 5! It's like she has to over compensate for it or something! And oh, don't get me started on how she hands out advice on topics she is certainly no expert on! (Fiances, parenting, and the biggie--- MARRIAGE-- she's been married more than once!) 
 I could go on and on and on! But I think I've said enough! At least I feel the weight lifting some! And like I said though, when she is "normal" she is wonderful! But everyone has let her get by with diarrhea of the mouth for so long and her miserable attitude (at times) that now the "normal" is this hard to get along with overbearing, irritating  going to drive me insane person! 

product test review- Downy Unstopables

Ok. So I am a member on Vocalpoint.com, it's a neat website to get coupons and samples for new products. Well, about a week or so ago, I got a sample of Downy Unstopables. It's these little pellet looking things you put in your wash and it makes your clothes smell SUPER good!! When I got them in the mail and opened the package, I thought, "yeah right"! I'm one of those people that tries everything to make their laundry smell good. I hate to wash something only to get it out a few days later to wear and it doesn't have a "strong" clean smell to it! Well, I have FINALLY found my "strong" clean smell!! Now, don't think "hmmm, I don't want a "strong" smell, just a "lite" smell, so this won't work for me! There's a neat little measuring cup on top of the bottle so you can measure out and adjust as you see fit for your sense of smell! This is one sample I am soooo sad to see running out! (and so far I haven't seen them in stores yet:( ...) So, when you find them, try them! Oh yeah, and sign up for Vocalpoint too!! Neat site!!!

Love July!!

Ok. I know a lot of people love July! But I especially love July! 1st of all, I have always loved the 4th of July! To me, nothing says summer like fireworks and town festivals. 2nd reason for loving July, it's our wedding anniversary. This July 12th will be our 14th year as man and wife! I so love my husband and married life. 3rd, and this one is kind of sad for me now. The night before we married my husband bought me a mini Dachshund, he named him George. (I'm going to get sidetracked here so I'm going to go ahead ahead and apologize now).For 2 1/2 years Georgie was our only child. He was spoiled rotten, he was my baby! This year will be our 1st anniversary without our 1st born son, my poor Georgie got real sick last year na d had to be put to sleep in August. I was (and still am) heartbroken! It has ALWAYS been us 3! The day we married it was the 3 of us, the day we moved into our home it was the 3 of us! Georgie knew I was pregnant before I knew I was pregnant! It was the 3 of us as we brought home the boys (a week apart) from the NICU. It had been the 3 of us and then became the 5 of us but always had been the 3 of us!! The day I had to have him put to sleep, my husband was out of town... That was the hardest day of my life! And bless Georgie sweet sweet little heart, as I was falling apart driving to the vet's office with my 1st born pup in my lap he looked up at me with those big sweet brown eyes as if to say "it's ok Mama, I'm really sick." As I write these words I'm falling apart all over again. Only God knows how much I miss my boy and how broken my heart truly is...Again, I want to apologize for going off subject, but my love of July couldn't be discussed without one of the most important reasons why I love it and that leads to the sad parts too! But I do love July ! For it brings fireworks, brought me a husband and a sweet little dog that will always be "Mama's Boogieman"!

YAY for Saturdays!

I must say, I live for the weekend (Saturday especially)! I know there's probably tons of other moms that have way more to do than I do. But WOW has my life gotten more hectic this school year! 
It started right before the school year began. The boys decided they wanted to take tae kwon do. TKD classses are 4 days a week. Then we have E, who was sick for the 1st half of the school year and was on homebound all that time, and still is going to h.b. after his regular school day. Bless his heart, he will just be caught up right before the school year ends. So, here's my daily schedule (where it concerns the boys anyway)....
7:20 am leave for school
2:30 pick up A from school (E stays for h.b.)
3:45 leave to pickup E from h.b.
5:15 leave for TKD
6:30 leave TKD (if all goes well and no errand needs to be ran, I get to go home)
This doesn't included my daily trip to Greenville with B (leave the house at 10:20, get back home around 11:30-ish) and any errand that I may have to do while the boys are at school (to save me from having to do it after TKD)
So, I feel like I live in the car!! And this is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE the weekend! Especially Saturday! Because Sunday I'm already dreading the start of a new week!! Whew! Summer break here I come!!
