The Wicked Witch of Surprise

I think my children have decided I am the wicked witch. Now that I am working several jobs, I am needing help around the house. These guys have had it good and now they are not thrilled that they have resposibilities like most 11 and 9 year olds should. Tatum was devistated this weekend. Her and her girlfriends had a roller skating date set for Saturday. Well... she did not get to go. The night before she had a friend spend the night. After not cleaning up after themselves, getting red nail polish on my good towel and thinking she can continue to run loose, I decided it was time to put my foot down. I too was looking forward to a night of roller skating! But instead I stayed home with a swollen eyed little girl who proceded to cry all night. Let's just say that her attitude has changed drastically. I think they figure this will last for a short while, we will have to see about that!!!! So for now, the Guest house is still a crazy place and I wouldn't want it any other way!

On a good note, Sunday was Scottie and my 12th wedding anniversary. We had a nice evening at home with the kids playing the Wii. I made dinner that Hunter didn't want to eat... what's new and just hung out as a family. Guess after 12 years you don't need expensive gifts, trips and romantic dinners... NOT!!!!
