Mama Mia Chronicles

DD...girl, I am super sorry to be neglecting you!! We have had such a chaotic last few weeks...hell, months really. Anyhow, I am happy to report that we are now wallpaper and ugly carpet free!! Free at last. It really feels completely different here:-) I will post pics soon!

On another note...my kids are driving me batty lately (thank you school system for 3 months of this to look forward to...*snigger*), and the constant bickering and noise has driven me to a cocktail..or two. They do come up with some doozies though. S told his older sister yesterday that if she kept needling him, it was "going to be a PROBLEM!" *Ahem* Where have I heard that before?! LOL. Guilty!

She cracks me up because she keeps quoting "King Julien" from the TV series "The Penguins of Madagascar". The other day S was just too much for her, and she told him in her little adopted (King Julien) Indian accent to "shut up a little bit". I was in hysterics:-) Bad mommy, I know...but that was darn funny!

Anyhow, we are piecing the upstairs back togther, but I have some pics to post of a party that Caitlin went to this past Saturday...a 6 year old birthday party, BOLLYWOOD-style. Cute!

Ciao for now;-)

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

I hear an echo as I call out to my friends! Where is everyone, I look but yet I do not see are you hiding from me? Okay I'll try and stop rhyming now. Seriously where is everyone? I know that Buffy is in VA but D you have been so quiet, what gives, not that I have a whole lotta room to talk.

Life is good in Malaysia! The kids are on summer break and I love having them home, for the most part;). We spend a great deal of time in the pool but that is it so far. We have a good friend that lives in our condo 2 floors up that we see often. I think I've mentioned them before, Jenny (mom) and Connor and Bradyn are her children. Connor is Parkers age and are best of buds and Bradyn is between Hannah and Emily and plays well with Emily and sometimes remembers that Hannah is around too but he like to play with Hannah when Emmy is at school. I really enjoy Jenny's company she's a sweet woman and her husband is very nice too. I can see a great friendship blossoming.

We are going to go on a trip to Borneo in the next few weeks and hopefully once we get back from our trip HOPEFULLY we will have our maid arrive the day after we get back, she was suppose to be here this Sunday but there was issues with her visa so now she will need to wait till we come back from our vacation.

Well I must wrap this up b/c my middle child is being sassy with her dad and dad is cooking so I need to get her out of our TINY kitchen before he loses his mind, what he has left of it:).

I hope to hear from you 2 soon, I miss you!

We are pregnant and we will have baby no. 3 some time late November. I am set on keeping this pregnancy quiet until I pop the baby:-)!

S. has opinions lately...and lots of them. Yesterday he was "spy-ding" my hair through his Diego binoculars, and got really close to my hair. He steps back and goes, "Mom, you need a hairs cut"...My response..."Really, why?" He squints at me a little and goes, "Cause you have crazies in the back":-) I asked if maybe brushing it would help (Lawd knows it was one of those days), and he goes, "NO, you need a hairs cut!"

Later on...same day...we are driving to pick C. up from school. He is on the phone (his new love is my old cellphones), and we hit a bumpy stretch of road. This apparently annoyed the heck out of him because I got a "Mom, you drive too bumpy!" (insert the big frown on his part...and picture the phone attached to his ear while he says this). Okaaay. "Oh, sorry," I say. Two minutes later, more bumpiness, so I wait for it...He didn't disappoint. "Moooom, I said be CAREFUL". More big frowns.

*sigh* Pleasing a two year old is SO hard on a mother.

So I'm talking to my son who is going to be celebrating his 7th birthday next month and I asked him if he wanted to invite the entire class and my son very seriously says NO, mommy I want to only invite the boys. So I say well I think it would be nice to invite the entire class (you have to I think anyway) and he says NO, not the girls, so I say why not? He says, mommy girls are way to bossy. TEE HEEEE. I just smiled and said your too funny. He is like I'm serious, no girls, not even you! I was like hey who do you think is going to put on your party? You. Well then how do you think your going to have a party if no girls are invited? Okay mommy you're the only girl allowed.

When he said this the first song that popped into my mind was Tim McGraw's Don't Take The girl... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP1G5i5q-hk

Where do you guys want to go? I miss you and get lonely for some girl chat, something I haven't had in a while, well I've had chats but not chats with "friends" and I have a feeling it's going to be hard to make friends here, well friends with kids. I guess I'll have a lot of maid friends.

So where do you want to go? Just tell me and I'll be there;).
