OUR FAMILY CHAOS

Well today was just a normal work day here -- no school starting for us yet! Today I started counting the pills in the pharmacy so I want have so much to do next weekend for the new system. Scott got off early and grilled pork chops that I sat out for supper. I let them marinate in beer and seasoning all day and they were really good. Mason ate all his food and started stealing food off Scott's plate and he had just ate pancakes an hour earlier -- pig! Mom had a bad day today because the yard man is going to try to take her to the cleaners. Her insurance called him today and he said he was really hurting in his back and legs now and he has to go to the doctor again. Yet after mom hit him he mowed her yard!! HMMMM! Anyway! Then I called the guys insurance that hit me because they still hadn't called me about the estimate that was faxed to them or the doctor bill that I faxed and supposedly they didn't get either fax. So I refaxed them and finally got her to answer her darn phone -- Why do they tell you to leave a message on their voicemail if they never have plans to call you back! So anyway she is sending me checks for all of the stuff plus $200 for inconvience of having to go to the doctor -- she offered it and I said OK. I am going to put that towards my dang eye doctor bill that my insurance didn't cover $360.00 -- crappy insurance. So that was a blessing that I got almost all the money to pay off that bill! Between Mason and Me we are always in debt to some doctor or hospital (Mason's surgeries)! I am so excited that I only have 3 more days of work before a 3 day weekend!!! For those of you that haven't been keeping up with the blog we are going to Dallas Area to visit my cousins and go shopping (imagine that)! I went shopping with mom on Saturday to the Boardwalk and got some great deals at Carter's and The Children's Place -- Osh Kosh had a sale to but I really don't care for them to much -- to over priced. I got Mason some pajamas at Carter's for $5 bucks -- they were the 3 piece sets (t-shirt, shorts, and pants) pretty good deal. Then Children's Place had all the sale stuff marked to $3.99 so I got him some shirts, shorts, and a sweatshirt material jacket to wear to school so he doesn't have to wear his leather jacket and get it messed up. I have yet to figure out why the jacket was on sale, but I wasn't going to argue! Mom got Olivia some stuff -- after she took a whole mess of clothes back while at Carrie's because she had to many offits that she hadn't worn yet and had already grown out of. I have been doing some Christmas shopping online -- and have gotten some really great deals and kind of like the fact that I don't have to go to the store. Mom, Carrie, and I decided that we wouldn't buy for each other this year (including Granny and spouses) because we already have to much stuff and don't really need anything and we would just buy for the kids. Which is going to be nice because Christmas between the 3 house holds gets a little ridiculous. So now we don't have to get as much stuff and it is going to be nice. Scott and I are trying to decide on somewhere to go for a little vacation just the 2 of us if possible for our 5 year anniversary next month and we can't think of anywhere that isn't too expensive so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Well it is getting late so I better go to bed now --
