Mom of many heading into empty nest syndrome- come enjoy the ride!

About Me

My photo
Little Town in the middle of Nowhere, Texas, United States
I'm a mom of 4 boys: Jay who's 30, Jory who is 27, Tim is 25, and B is 23. I also have a daughter, Kristi who is 33. I have a grandson, Little Bit/Elmer, that was born in July 2009. I have a new grandson who was born in September of 2017. We moved from North TX to East TX on the land of our dreams in '09 and I love the peace and quiet. It's so nice to have trees again after 11 years of flat and hot. I enjoy hanging out with my friends. I'm a huge baseball fan. Some might even call me obsessed with the game. ;) My favorite teams are the Rangers and the Red Sox. Being a Red Sox fan makes life interesting as all 4 of my boys are Yankee fans. (Basically, I only started cheering for the Red Sox to give the boys a hard time and then actually became a fan) I'm a happily single (well...divorced) mom.

Real Quick

~ I passed my home inspection with flying colors.  She loved me.  Said she loves all the improvements that we've made on the house.  Improvements = fixing the water damage.  


~  Little Man is on his way to pick up Ice Cube and Elmer.  The details of why are not my story to share.  This is all part of the same issues that started in August.  What I can say is IC will be coming here to stay for a bit.  At this point, it looks as though they are going to be civil in regards to Elmer.  


~  We have had no end of storms the last few days.  Several tornados have touched down around here but no damage to my house or property.  


~  Car trouble on the trip.  Trouble with the cadaladic (so spelled wrong) converter.  Hurricane is riding in to the rescue.  LM is all agitated and frustrated and calling me in a horrid mood being totally disrespectful.  I'm trying to not over-react and turn it into a battle of words or wills because for 1 - I know that he was already aggravated over the situation with IC before he left and worried about his brother and 2 - I can only imagine how upset I would be if the car had broken down on me.  So, I know that I am not who he's mad at and I'm just the one he feels safest venting at.  Now, that doesn't mean that I won't have something to say about the attitude.  But it will be along the lines of:  "I realize that you were pi**ed about the car earlier and frustrated about everything that happened but screaming in my ear when I'm 100 miles away doesn't really accomplish anything.  All it does is cause more problems and get other people upset. "  


  Now, because I want to make your day.  The kids did NOT write this song.  It is an actual song that was originally written and performed by Pat Daley.  I ended up with 21 kids in my living room on Saturday night.  I really thought that with all the storms, that I would get a kid free night.  When the kids started showing up - my 2 weren't even at home.  I had 2 show up.  Then a group of 3.  Then 2 more.  All while LM was off with his gf and B was at his girlfriends house.  I'm popular I guess.  At one point of the night, there were 21 kids here and I ended up with 8 staying the night.  One of the kids asked me:  "how do you put up with us Ms Amy?  There's a lot of people here".   I reminded them that eventually, they'd all be gone and then I'd be sitting home alone on Saturday nights bored and lonely.  So, I might as well enjoy them while they're here.

More of them on the floor

Piled on the couch.  Who says a couch can only hold 3?  Mine had 7 on it.  

I could have opened my own boot store

Colby and Curtis.  And before you ask about the shirt- remember folks... this is TX.  I'm still running my AC.



 After more than an hour of trying to get a video to post.  I quit!  I have to help B get this project done before he goes in to the dr tomorrow.  We find out if he has surgery tomorrow afternoon.  Fingers crossed plz!
