So, a couple of weeks ago, I got into the '90's and bought an ipod. Now all of my spare time has been spent at the computer "ripping" my cd collection to the computer and uploading to the ipod. While the ripping has taken place, I've had time to catch up with my sisters blogs. Some of them are very funny but I was disheartened to learn that one has to have a blog in order to leave a comment on a blog. With the introduction of the ipod, I've got some time on my hands between changing discs, so here is my entry into blogdom.

You'll notice the first picture on my blog is titled my 6th baby. It's a .45 caliber Kimber Warrior...I have one just like it. (I didn't want my blog to be too girly.) When Melanie asked me why I bought it, I told her "I have Daughters, I will need this one day." Not that I actually plan on shooting anybody, but I will have to put the fear of DEATH into a number of hormonal teenage boys starting in about 7 years.

A month or so after Jadilyn turned 9, she asked Melanie "So, when am I going to get boobs?" This comment was followed by Natalie (Not yet 5) asking "Yeah, when am I going to get boobs and how big will mine be?" LA LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING. Honestly, what Father wants to think about that?

Apparently, Jadi is traumatized by having to clean her room. Because she's so artistic, she expressed her anger in a picture outlining the inhumanity and injustice...I'm going to try and post a copy of it tonight.


Danny is halfway through a 2 week grounding he received for spray painting the tires on our Suburban. He also is doing extra chores around the house to cover the cost of paint remover, and new paint for the garage trim and one pillar out front. Melanie was concerned that he's acting out because of social problems at school...he's almost 12. The hormones are kicking in, and the IQ is dropping. I think I've got another 3-4 years of just general Non-thinking due to hormonal imbalances. He should be through it about the time Jadi has her own set of moody hormones arrive...if I'm lucky. I don't think that will be the case though...her's will probably arrive in 2 years.

Natalie got to call both Grandparents yesterday, she was traumatized from being shot in the chin by a BB gun. Both her brothers are responsible, Danny loaded the gun, and Carson pulled the trigger. (Again, witness the aforementioned Non-thinking due to hormonal imbalances.) It didn't even break the skin, and she's perfectly fine, but getting to rat out her brother(s) to her Grandparents made her feel better.

Just a typical day at our house.
That's life as we know it.
