Well my house has been really quiet this week. The older kids got a job. Well TJ and Bradley have been working, that's right Bradley got a job at Best Buy. But things have been even better - Dylan, Amanda, Meghan, and David have been working at a house down the street doing some major landscaping and cleaning. They are having a wedding at their house, so they have been working everyday this week. So times have been nice, it has been like having 3 children, imagine that.
It was nice because I have had lots of work to do between grants and Tim has been writing lots of articles. Amanda has been up to her usual stunts, we stepped out yesterday just to get a message from her saying she went out dinner, apparently we were not home to ask permission from. So she got home at 11pm, some dinner. So she is now punished.
We went to the park again today, Logan was our coach again, he got us into a huddle and told us that we were not allowed to scratch, bite, punch or kick, or that's right bite. We played HORSE, Brendan won.
When we got home, Logan must of thought we had a drought because for some strange reason he forgot we had a bathroom and peed on our tree outside. David and Logan raced to our bedroom, David to tell and Logan to deny it.
Welcome to my world.
This is a blog about living with 9 kids, a fabulous husband, 1 dog and 3 cats. With so many family members we have lots of fun. To make things interesting I have become a coupon junky. Our children all wrestle even the three girls. Our children range in age from 7 to 22. One of our children is vision impaired but gifted; one has a heart defect; and the youngest is allergic to the cold. I am disabled so playing mom is sometimes passed off to dad.

Viagra Ice Pops on Sale Aisle 10
We were shopping in our local grocery store filling up our carts, and I thought I heard my husband say the funniest thing. I could have sworn he said "Oh look Viagra ice pops", I just look at him smiling and said "What?" He was wondering what I was smiling at after all what is there to smile at in a grocery store. We both got a good laugh out of that one.
Remember how I said that 16 year old girls were put on Earth to simply drive their parents mad, well today was another one of those days. Amanda decided that today was her day to age us at least 10 years of course little did she know she would be having tough competition from Bradley and TJ, you know the two oldest that you think would be the best behaved, think again.
TJ decided to hit us with a grand slam last night. He came in looking like he had swallowed a canary, wait maybe more like a hawk. We could tell he wanted to tell us something. Well since he is 20 years old and has a girlfriend, I thought he was going to say something like he wanted to get married or his girlfriend was pregnant, but no instead he told us he wants to join the Air Force. Now keep in mind this is a kid that has no entrance to his room, instead of an entrance there is a trail leading to his bed. He also has a beard and mustache and longish hair. So my first comment in shock was "Are you nuts, do you know what that means?"
Bradley meanwhile, you know still jobless, has sold his I-phone and his pants are on fire, and the money is flying out. He is now selling his computer which is just sold earlier today.So life according to Bradley..... So now that I am unemployed and have $500 in my pocked. Being Bradley and completely irrational like I normally am, I want to buy a surround sound system. I don't understand why my mom and dad are busting my balls on such a needed item.
So to top off the family today - 16 year old girls simply drive their parents nuts, 20 year olds have no clue about life, and 18 year old males live only in the moment, not even in the next day.
And all 5 year olds want to do is go to the park, every single day. Oh and Logan, as in the 5 year old, also thinks he should have a cell phone.
