Meet the Jetsons ...
Looking in the rear view mirror at 2010 ...
The one thing that kept Clint and I going ... was the factor that we kept telling one another that ... we had our health, we were happy and we had a roof over our heads.
And trust me ... we said that ALOT in 2009.
F**king 2009.
I have to admit ... we had ALOT of high hopes for 2010. We placed ALOT of pressure on 2010 shoulders. 2010 had ALOT to live up to.
And ... the good news is ... we still have our health ... we are happy ... and we have a roof over our heads.
*awkard smile*
*shrugging shoulders*
On the New Year's Eve in 2009 ... we were literally kicking 2009's ass out the door at the stroke of midnight ... and welcoming 2010 with open arms.
Unfortunately ... 2010 was not as great as we hoped it to be. Although ... we did learn one really valuable lesson!!! Would you like me to share it with you?!?!?! It is pretty darn simple. We learned to say "F**k it" and keep on moving. We learned not to look back and dwell on what we could have done differently. We now just say, "F**k it" ... and keep on moving. It is a very valuable lesson to be learned I must say. I am surprised we did not read about ... or hear about it ... sooner!?!?!?! It would have came in handy in 2009.
*sarcastic laugh*
Yet again ... we have alot of high hopes for 2011. And yet again ... we have alot riding on 2011 shoulders. And yet again ... 2011 has alot to live up to.
Why break the tradition???
Right?!?!?!
*rolling eyes*
*shrugging shoulders*
So ... here I am ... bidding a farewell to "not exactly what we expected" in 2010 ... (but a shit load better than 2009) ... and looking forward to what is waiting for us right around the corner in 2011. I am certain that 2011 is going to be our year. It is gonna be the year that miracles happen ... wishes are granted ... and dreams finally come true.
Here is to a new year ... a new start ... and new amazing things that 2011 will bring.
*fingers crossed*
Please!!! Oh Please!!! Oh Please!!! Oh Please!!! Oh Please!!!
*fingers crossed even tighter*
Don't forget ...
I am still in the top 200 (157 to be exact) on the Top Mommy Blogs website!

The after-math of Christmas ...
He's making a list ...
Before the kids went to bed ... we layed out apples for the reindeer. Poored milk in Santa's special cup. Each kid picked out one of their sugar cookies to leave on Santa's special plate. Sprinkled the reindeer food that Eythen made in kindergarten ... in our backyard. And looked outside to see if we could see Rudolph's red nose shining in the sky anywhere.
And then ... Clint and I stayed up for hours upon end while the kids attempted to fall asleep ... even though they were so excited they were bnouncing off the walls.
And to all a goodnight ...
Well ... not actually. Clint and I were totally exhausted ...
Perhaps there was some beer and wine involved at this point in time.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight ...
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

Merry Christmas from ...
A family tradition ...
Thursday, December 23, 2010
Look at the pretty lights ...
I had came across this cool "KU house" online that I wanted Clint to drive us all past. The guy has his lights set to play to music that he has playing on radio station 98.7. AND ... he has this AMAZING light "show" that goes along with the KU song.
In fact ... if you CLICK HERE you can read my prior blog about the KU Christmas house and see the video on the light show. Go ahead and read it ... I will wait.
*insert elevator music here*
Oh! Your back?! Great!
Pretty cool, huh?!?! Well ... if you are a K-State fan ... you can keep your opinion to yourself.
Anywho ...
Let me fill you in on one more thing before I go any far in this blog ...
My husband has NO PATIENCE when he is behind the wheel. Now ... I would not say that he has road rage ... but it is border line. When I think of road rage ... I think of cutting people off ... flipping people off ... driving at lighting speed ... pulling up next to someone at a stop light and pulling out a gun. You know ... that type of thing. That is how I "define" road rage. Doesn't everyone?
I would not say Clint is that bad ... but he does cuss people out ALL the time. Eythen has told him "The police are gonna find you if you don't slow down." (which was just last night might I add). He rides bumpers way to close when he "feels" like they are not going the "correct" speed limit in his world ... even though he "claims" he is "two car lengths behind them". Uhhh ... perhaps two tricycle lengths behind them ... but not two car lengths behind them. He also causes me to have near panic attacks because of his actions. I do the normal ... "CLINT!" ... or grab for the door handle ... or I have been known to use my "pretend" emergency break on my side of the vechile (when he is inches away from opening up someones trunk with the front of our vechile ... my foot instantly hits the floor in "hopes" of stopping the vechile myself) when he is way to close to someone (which happened numerous times last night as well) ... OR I will let out a "NOT IN MY NEW YUKON" scream.
Ok ... anywho ...
Where were we ...
So ...
I told you to CLICK HERE and read my prior blog about the KU house.
And ...
I told you that Clint is NOT PATIENT AT ALL when he is behind the wheel.
Ok ... that is about it ...
Back to the blog ...
So at about 7:30 we turned down the correct street where the KU house was. Now ... if you have never seen this house ... and plan on going to see it this Christmas ... let me "teach you" the do's and don't. Take this moment to learn from the Moore Family mistakes.
As we turned down the block ... you could already see the "glow" of the house 3 blocks away. It was an amazing sight.
Until ...
You got TO the house.
As you are driving on the right hand side of the road ... in anticipation of seeing the most amazing KU site EVER ... there are cars "parked" on the left hand side of the road "watching" the light show. The cars are lined up from the front of the house ... to the side of the house (the house is on the corner of the block) ... down the block ... and TWO blocks behind that. YEAH! All of these cars are "parked" on the left hand side of the road "waiting" for their turn to pull up to the front of the house to "watch" the light show.
So ... Clint put on his parking lights ... and slowly drove down the right hand side of the road ... and went to the end of the line. Even at the "end of the line" you can still see some of the lights going on. THERE ARE THAT MANY LIGHTS ON THE HOUSE!
So ... I turn on 98.7 and we listen to the music ... and see the twinkle of the lights from WAY up ahead.
Breeanna: "Eythen! Move your head! I can't see!"
*Eythen bobs his head back and forth*
*Breeanna shoves Eythen*
Eythen: "Owie"
Eythen: "MOM! Breeanna hit me!"
Breeanna: "No I didn't! I shoved him!"
Breeanna: "I can't see the lights with his big head in the way!"
Me: "Guys! There are no lights to see right now!"
Eythen: "Yes there are! But they are to far away for me to see."
Eythen: "Dad ... I can't see."
Me: "Patience guys! We will move the car up as other people leave and we will eventually move up to the front of the house to see the "light show".
*10 seconds later*
Eythen: "This is taking to long."
We are "slowly" moving up in the "car line". There are SO many cars "parked" against the side of the road. Some people are blocking homeowners driveways. I have to admit ... if I was a neighbor ... I would be pissed.
Eythen: "That car really needs to turn it's lights off when it drives towards us. There lights are to bright and it blinds me."
*confused look from me*
Did my 6 year old son just realize that some people are not being poliete and not turning their parking lights on as they drive down the side of the road ... while attempting to get to the end of the "car line"?
FINALLY ... 15 minutes later ... we are on the side of the house.
*pretty lights flickering to the music coming over the radio*
Eythen: "HEY! That car up there cut! They did not go to the end of the line! They just pulled up in front of the first car!"
*still trying to watch the lights as I bob back and forth in hopes of trying to avoid the back of Clint's head*
*Eythen moves to sit on my lap in the front seat*
*now trying to bob back and forth in hopes of trying to avoid the back of Eythen's head*
*seeing the back of Clint's head*
*seeing the back of Eythen's head*
*seeing the back of Clint's head*
Oh forget it. I just sit back and listen to the music while everyone else sees the lights.
Harleigh: "DAD! Those people cut, too! Look Dad!"
Me: "Is anyone watching the lights?"
Breeanna: "I am!"
Harleigh: "I am trying! But these people are really bothering me!"
Eythen: "I'm not. I wanna get out of here."
*18 seconds later*
Eythen: "Dad! Let's get out of here!"
Clint: "Well ... I can't drive anywhere because you are in the front seat and not in the back buckled up. AND ... I can't move anywhere because these people are blocking the whole entire block.
UPDATE ON THE TRAFFIC ON THE BLOCK ... the people that are "suspose" to be driving on the right hand side of the road ... and "suspose" to be driving with their parking lights on ... and "suspose" to be driving to the end of the line ... CAN'T! There is one car that decided it would be a brillant idea to pull up RIGHT NEXT TO OUR CAR and STOP to "watch the light show". Then you have the people trying to leave (like the four cars infront of us) ... but CAN'T because of that lady as well. They can not pull away from the left hand side of the road to leave ... because she has all of this traffic backed up and blocking anyone trying to enter or exit the block.
Harleigh: "This lady is driving me NUTS!"
Eythen: "I just wanna get out of here."
Clint: "We will try to leave once the KU light show comes on one more time."
*waiting*
*6 year old getting ticked off*
*8 year old getting pissed*
*Me not sure when my 6 year old and 8 year old started to turn into their Dad with the "No Patience" thing*
Harleigh: "I really wanna get out of the car and tell that lady to move her car because she is not being nice!"
Eythen: "Do it Harleigh! Go say ... Move it old lady."
Breeanna: "That is not nice Eythen."
Harleigh: "She is not being nice stopping in the middle of the road."
Eythen: "Dad! Can we go now?"
*sigh*
Clint: "Fine! We will leave"
*Eythen moves to backseat and buckles up*
Merry Freaking Christmas everyone.
*geeezzeee*
Oh yeah! Remember how Clint said we would leave once the KU light show played one more time. Well ... as we are driving away ... what comes on the radio ... and lights start to twinkle to the beat ... the KU song.
*giggle*
Of all the darn luck.
*shaking head*
So what did we learn today boys and girls?!?!?
1. If you are gonna go to the KU house and watch the light show ... DON'T.
2. Harleigh and Eythen are NOT PATIENT ... just like their Father.

Much Love: The one that makes you lunch, does your laundry, has dinner on the table, cleans the house and punches you at night while you are sleeping when you snore to loud.
