Last Night

Last night was a fun night! Chris's parents came over with some homemade vegetable soup for dinner but we already had some hamburger meat cooking to make sloppy joes. In my opinion the hamburger meat smelt really gross so I went around and lit a bunch of candles throughout the house. Chris was making some sweet tea and and WHOOSH flames lit up from underneath the pan and it was smoking! I grabbed the kids and we went out the back door as Chris poured salt all over the tea! So much for my fresh smelling house!haha Chris and Tracy came over shortly after all of this and luckily most of the burnt smell was gone. Every Tuesday we have them over to watch Nip/Tuck. We sat through 3 episodes last night and I always laugh because as they say it is the craziest drama out there! During our 2nd episode, our pet snails start mating. Umm yeah Chris thought he bought two males. We promised to give Tracy the first pick haha. Chris just got a new phone and has been playing with it and driving me nuts! Now the three of them have the same phone and I am the odd ball, but I like my Pink Razor for now. I am not due for an upgrade until Feb. I can't wait until Friday! Chris will be out of town for wrestling and when he goes out of town his parents always take me and the kids out to eat! We get a bonus movie this weekend! 

College Update

This morning I went to meet with my advisor at Dyersburg State. I get there as soon as it opens at 9am and there is a line of course. I put my name on the list and wait my turn. At my table I met two girls fresh out of High School. One of them said she worked at Sonic and just kept rambling on how she was going to be late for work. The other girl said she worked at the Petstore and just recently a male shittzu was stolen! Then she told me that if she hadn't of worked at Taco Bell for two years that she would be small like me. Haha Well, after awhile of random conversation and I mean random my name was called. Don't ask me my advisors name because I couldn't tell ya.um ya know azultz moralik. He didn't really advise me he just asked me what I wanted to take. I told him what I needed to take and it popped up that I had a hold because they needed my Compass Scores from 2001. So I had to leave there and go to Admissions and give them my U of M transcript. The lady told me she only needed to record my English and Math classes and she would remove the hold. I told her that I had my Southwest Transcripts so she could go ahead and enter all of my Science classes as well but she told me she didn't need to. So I go back to the Learning Center and sit down with my advisor again. We register for Microbiology Lecture/Lab and Developmental Psychology and then it pops up on the screen Can Not Register because Prereqs needed. Well I have taken AP2 and Psychology 1 at Southwest and remember that lady told me she didn't need it. So once again I go to the Admissions office so they can enter my grades and such. Finally I am registered for three classes. Now it is time to get my parking permit and student Id. The parking permit turns out to be a bumper sticker and for my student Id the lady put a hole in my name so now I am *aryBeth Robertson*! Oh me oh me oh my! At least I am registered and classes start Aug. 23 and thanks to my wonderful mother my classes are paid for in full! :) I am ready!!!

Another Sunday

Chris and I have decided to make Sunday's our official Family Meal Day. On this day his parents and brother come over early and visit while someone prepares a meal. This Sunday is my turn to cook for everyone and I have decided to make spaghetti with meatsauce with garlic bread and italian salads on the side. Yumm. I announced last Sunday that I was making spaghetti and everyday this past week Kayla has asked me when we are having spaghetti, soo I know that she will be excited. My dad is the one that taught me how to cook mostly. I love knowing all his secret ingredients he puts into his meals.haha Well I will add more when the day is done.:)

Super Nintendo

I have been wanting to play Super Nintendo lately! When I was younger my parents bought us one and Melody has had it ever since we all three went our seperate ways! It is my turn...... I did some looking on Ebay and I found the Super Mario All Stars game which has Mario 1-3 and a bonus land. I am trying to talk Chris into getting it for me because Mario 3 is my favorite! I found Harvey's Humongous Adventure which was mine and Melody's favorite game but it was like in Chinese or Korean so I couldn't understand how much they wanted for it! I really want that game so I am going to keep on looking for it. I also remember us having competitions with Donkey Kong and the loser had to go down stairs and make a snack. We would lay on the floor with our heads propped up on our pillows and play all day until told to do something else. Chris's dad just bought a Nintendo 64 but it is just not the same. 

Oh NO!!!!!

A couple of years ago I bought this really expensive Park Avenue Amberly comforter set from Kohls. I spent several months looking for the right comforter and was extremely excited to find this one. It is teal and light cream with cross stitching all throughout the middle. It is the softest ever...explains the price. Well I knew when I bought it that it was dry clean only and that it would be difficult to keep it looking nice with the majority of it being the light cream, but I told myself that since I liked it so much that I would go ahead and get it. Well, yesterday Kayla fell asleep in our bed and woke up and she had peed all on my comforter! I wasn't mad.......... I knew we had just gotten our HE washer and dryer so I went ahead and washed it on delicate. Then when it was finished I laid it over the couch to dry. Well a couple of hours went by and it was still a little wet so I told myself that a couple of minutes in the dryer won't hurt it. Ummmmmmm I was wrong......I pulled it out of the dryer and the first thing I saw was brown all over it. I assumed it was Kayla's pee gone darker but you could smell the burnt smell. Tears poured down my face. I took it to the bedroom and the burnt part was on my side of the bed which made me cry some more....... Whatever was inside of it bunched up in a ball and hardened so now also my side is lumpy near the bottom! I sent my sister Amy a text message and she had a great idea! She told me to get some brown accessories and everything will blend! HAHAH You always make me laugh when I do stupid things. Chris came home from wrestling and I showed him and he just smiled and said Why Why Why did you do that? I told him," at least everything is clean!" 

No KidsTown :(

Every season the Agricenter in Cordova, Tennessee, has a thing called Kids Town! The kids and I love going there. It is all about kids of course. It is like a huge garage sale but everything is in good condition. You can get toys, clothes, movies, shoes, bedroom furniture...pretty much anything. Last time Kayla got a huge Barbie Palace with all the pieces for only $20 and I looked it up online and NEW it would have been close to $100. We always get their clothes from here and they get a pretty good amount. Especially the stage Kayla is going through in which she needs a different pair of shoes for every outfit.Ha Unfortunaly, this weekend was Kids Town again and Chris and I decided not to attend since we have moved to Dyersburg. We might be getting good deals on name brand clothes and stuff but we would have put the extra money in gas to get there. It cost me $97 to fill up my van....seems like a lot, but that will last me a long time because everywhere I go is here in town. Luckily, there is a JcPenny's at the Mall and they have good prices on kids clothes so that is what we are going to do for the fall this year.

Another Crazy Dream

As you have read from my previous post, I have just seen The Dark Knight! Chris had a wresting show last night and it was storming like crazy all night. Sometimes I get things in my head and get a little scared to be by myself and the kids had already fallen asleep. I kept waking up thinking I saw someone in Kayla's room but it was just her backpack hanging on the doorknob. Then I woke up because I heard the drying chiming. Then I woke up because I forgot to thaw out the ribs. Uggggg I finally got into a deep sleep and of course I had a crazy dream! I dreamed that I was at our old house in Collierville. Well it was all hardwood when we lived there but in my dream it was all carpeted. There was a young guy with glasses and his girlfriend living there now. They invited me inside and the girl told me that it was so cool because she could fit her tanning bed in the closet. I went in and she had a tanning bed in the closet but she was sitting along the wall wrapped in Preston's first baby blanket, the plush one with the pastel colors and jungle animals on it. I look above her head and there is a black vacuum cleaner hose hanging from the ceiling over her head and UVA lamps are glowing from inside of it and she said she was tanning her face?!!!!! I remember throughout the dream I mentioned that I worked at a tanning salon for almost three years and that was not how you tan your face, and that it was not safe to store a tanning bed in a closet! Then somehow she went to showing me all of her formal dresses from High School Events and told me that she had gained some weight so if I wanted to pick out some I could. As I walked back outside I have several dresses in my hand. HAha of course! The scene changes again and I am driving one of those big white semi-trucks loaded with house furniture in the back. I am driving down a long curvy road and the weather starts getting bad. I look ahead and see a large dark funnel cloud coming towards me. There is nothing around me , no buildings, trees, other cars, birds......Nothing! I crash and can feel the truck flipping over with full force. My head is pounding and I open my eyes. I can not move my neck and am soooo scared. I move my hand downward and grabbed my phone to call Chris since he was on speed dial. I told him I had been in an accident and that I didn't know where I was or why I was driving a semi truck but that I could not move anything but my hands and I needed him to call an ambulance. He said," Your a grown woman, you can call the police yourself!" It was then that I woke up from this dream and my neck was stiff just like in the dream!! It took me a little while to loosen it up but it scared me!!!!!!!!!
