I Just Wanna Watch TV!

For whatever reason, my satellite receiver has been "skipping". I called the company and they said they would have to replace the receiver. I got the replacement the other day and decided to hook it up tonight. What should have taken ten minutes ended up taking an hour! I missed the first 5 minutes of Supernatural but eventually got the thing working. GO ME! And the Customer Service Rep who stayed on the phone with me!

Meanwhile, Eldest is in my bathroom cleaning her ears. We recently got her ears pierced again. The Youngest got her ears pierced too. I've been cleaning The Youngest's earrings for obvious reasons but tonight Eldest decided she could do it. Nothing can be easy though. The Youngest comes running in the living room screaming: "Eldest can't get my earrings back in and she says the holes are closing up!" After calming The Youngest down, I eventually got her earrings back into her ears. Crisis averted!

So now I'm relaxing...listening to XMen 3 in the background with Mutt at my feet. Life's good!

You're doing what???

I know. I can't believe it myself. I'm actually blogging! Personally, I think my life is boring but maybe someone will get joy out of my seemingly mundane existence.

Being a single mom can sometimes be a challenge. Especially with my three. I've got the Eldest who is 10 and thinks she's going on 25. Everyday it is basically the same thing: "Mom, when can I start wearing make-up. Mom, I need you to buy me Covergirl Waterproof Mascara..." And everyday the answer is, "You're too young to wear make-up!"

Then of course there's the Youngest daughter. She's 6 but is very perceptive. Very scary! I don't date much, if at all. But as soon as I do go out on a date all I heard from her is: "Who were you with? Where did you go? What did you do? What time did you get home?" It's like she reads minds or something!

And the Youngest's twin, The Boy. Cute as can be. And knows exactly which buttons to push to drive his sisters, particularly Eldest, up the wall. He's all boy and will be starting football in a few weeks. Yikes! I'm planning on bringing ropes to tie myself to the bleachers when he plays. I can just see me running onto the field to beat up some 6 year old kid for hurting him! LOL

We also have our beloved Mutt. She'll be 2 in a few weeks and has been with us for almost 6 months. She's fit perfectly into our family.

So there you have it. My family. One mom, 3 kids and a dog. So....I should find something to write about....right?
