my cousin had her Graduation/birthday party at their lake house yesterday.
that was ... um well an event to put it mildly.
The day started out well we got there at like 3:30 maybe. left later than we wanted but oh well.
When we got there Helen, Chloe, and Emma were on the golfcart and wanted me to go with them. We had literally just pulled up and I wanted to say hello to everyone. So they left and I didn't see them for a long time. I went swimming in the lake. Hung out with my cousin Bryon and his girlfriend Allyson. on this huge raft thing my aunt bought.
Of course we ate. Heard it was going to rain... I was on the phone with a friend and he said that it wouldn't reach us for a couple hours or so so my cousin Caroline and I went back in the water for awhile.
I got out maybe 20 mins before it started to rain. I was sitting on the dock with Bryon, Caroline, and Allyson talking and we felt drops. We ended up going to sit on the boat. Sat out there for a loooong time took some great pics of the sunsetting.
There was some drama won't get into in this post... BUT I am sure I will throw a friends only post in and talk about it.
My Mom's dad was there (no this wasn't cause for the drama) but I didn't talk to him. Honestly I had planned on calling him Mr.M(fill in the rest of his last name) instead of calling him grandpa.
But he didn't say anything to me and I didn't say anything to him. I walked past him quite a few times.

The pic here was taken from the deck. my aunt's dock is the one on the right with the lights on it.

Ok the kids were up early i fed them breakfast... twice and tried to nap between the times they came in to ask me stuff they had promised to sleep in since i let them stay up late.
Then of course plans changed of when i had to bring them home cus i now had to pick up Vick and Chloe from the movie theater so i had to be there when their movie ended which meant I had to leave at least a half hour earlier than i had planned so no playing with makeup with the kids they wanted to take another bubble bath so they spent 45 mins playing in the tub. They had taken a bubble bath the night b4 too they spent 30 mins in the tub that time.
We goofed around painted nails and they watched movies saturday night. I guess they had a good time. I really didnt have to yell at anyone which is good. Kate can sometimes get on my nerves cus she's such a spoiled child i sometimes need to remind her that i am not her mother or father and she doesn't get her way with me.

when they girls finally felt like going to sleep i put the movie Elf in for them and then i put on repeat so it would play all night... which i must say worked well in case they woke up or whatever at least they'd have the movie to watch instead of having to go thru the channels on the tv and possibly landing on something they should not be watching (since we have cinemax and all that on our movie channels they have the soft core porn crap on late at night sometimes)

ok so back to today... the girls took their bath and then i fed them lunch and it was pretty much time to go after the whole "do you have all of your stuff to bring home" drill. Making sure everyone had EVERYTHING they came with, stuffed animals blankets pillows socks underwear everything they need to normally sleep with lol. I've had times with kate in the past where she had forgotten to bring something she sleeps with to my house when shes come over to spend the night and dealing with a kid who doesn't have her blanket or her fave stuffed animal is NOT fun and i was not going back to her house if she did forget something at least not tonight... I had a long ass drive already i had to pick one set of girls up from the movies then bring everyone back to my aunt and uncle's then drop kate off take all her stuff out of the car then make sure Chloe had all her stuff to put IN my car cus i still had to drive another half hour away from my one aunt's house to my other aunt's house to drop off the other two kids.
when we got to their house i ended up going in with them and i honestly had no intention to stay. I talked to my uncle a bit he asked how my dad was doing so i told him the whole thing and then the kids wanted me to help them with their sims 2 game they just bought it so i was helping them with some cheats. I was telling them about some of my sims families and i showed them one family in the strangetown neighborhood that gets abducted by aliens lol i have to say the sims 2 double deluxe has fancier graphics when the dude gets abducted than my game cus i have the orignal game that i bought when the sims 2 came out. Ok so 3 hrs after i got to their house i was finally leaving for my nice long hour drive home.
had to stop and get gas on the way home froze my butt off pumping it got home put my pj's on vegged out.
Then john called and he was getting food at the mexian place next to his house i mentioned being hungry so he offered to bring me a chicken burrito. So he brought me a burrito and a pumpkin spice latte from  dunkin' donuts.
So of course i was wired after the coffee.
He hung out here with me for awhile then left right b4 my parents got home.
my mom found the camera i wanted for christmas FINALLY at best buy where my dad was getting his new sirius set up he also bought a lifetime subscription cus honestly my parents use it all the time and my dad brings the radio with him to work.
I sat up talkin to my dad checkin out his new sirius lol my mom said that he was opening the box and taking things out b4 they were even out of the store lol she said they were barely out of the checkout line.
My dad is kinda hinting that he wants my camera since i got a new one.... i may end up givin it to him since his is older than mine i think it's only like a 3 megapixel.
Ok i am bad after they went to sleep and since i am still up semi wired from coffee i opened my camera. I am charging the battery now. I am gonna see if i can keep it b4 christmas. I mean my mom is gonna buy my brother something for his new house like a lazy boy or something big so you know he's gonna get that before christmas my mom isn't getting kevin and gayle anything cus she just bought the baby the dresser and the crib and they asked not to exchange this year since their money is being saved for the baby since the baby will be born early in the new year. Mike and Kourtney just bought the house so I am not exchanging with them either their money is going to their house. So if no one is really exchanging what's the biig deal right... i mean I know it's a christmas present i am not gonna be pissed cus nothing is under the tree i mean fuck i am over that we are getting our stockings from santa so really what's the big deal... I'll play with my camera some tonight put it back and then talk to my mom at dinner tomorrow lol see if i can snake the camera b4 christmas.
She still needs to tell me what she wants for christmas the woman is killin me. I need to know how much money i am saving for her present.
My father isn't really getting anything i mean he just got the sirius thing that's what he wanted.he's a pain in the ass to buy for anyway.
Last year i got my mom a present and filled her stocking with stuff she wanted mom always gets screwed on her stocking. everyone always gets theirs filled and hers gets like one or two things. but if i get her something that costs more she will get a tad less in her stocking (not that my brothers will help contribute to filling it either)

ok so it was kind of an exahusting weekend yet i am still up at almost 4:30am damn coffee lol but it was so good. i'm still waiting for my battery for the new Nikon S550 to charge (it should be almost done) I'll play for a few mns then i am soooo going to bed.

sorry this is long winded and rambling but it's late i am tired and coming off a caffiene high so i am sure you understand lol.
