Hi,
You've reached the Blog of Working Momma247. I can't come to the blog right now as I am currently either getting packed for Vegas, cleaning my house, flying, gambling, catching a show, and or getting re-married by the King.
I will be reading my e-mail and other posts as often as I can. I will be back to posting just as soon as I am ready. Please leave a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Have a safe and happy weekend! K Thanx BuBye!

Thursday 13-Mini Van Edition

Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer is doing a little last minute carnival of what unusal items are in your vehicle? I thought why not make this a Thursday 13? Cause I'm all about killing two birds with one stone.

1. My dress slip ...yeah I admit I slipped it off inconspicuously while waiting in the van for hubs to get groceries. I'm good. ;)

2. 2 big 'ol jugs of water

3. Football, for those impromptu visits to the park.

4. Back Scratcher -Wonderboy won it from a raffle at school.

5. Unused toothbrush

6. BoyScout scarf and book. -We're always prepared.

7. Trash from my breakfast at Mcdonalds, not to mention the other ten tons of trash in there.

8. 2 Unsharpened pencils

9. Screw Driver

10. Dog Leash

11. Mother's Day Cards- I kept meaning to take them into the office to show off.

12. Crayons

13. Bungee Chord

Here's some of the random items. Now you may not be able to tell, I think that my middle child has become Eurpopean, as he spelled on the Worlds Best Mom certificate "Mum." Which I found hilarious. That's so him.

Vegas Here We Come!!!

I've told you guys how awesomely awesome my hubs is. Well he is. He knew I just couldn't wait any longer and that I needed to have some kind of confirmation that YES we are going tax refund or no tax refund. What did he do? He cashed in all of his frequent flyer points to put us in first class. He then pretty much cashed in all of his hotel points to stay in a lovely hotel a little bit off the strip. He then proceeded to cash in his rental car points as well. We're set, we're ready for take off! All of this for a whopping $200. Not to shabby for a 3 night stay.
The only thing that's left is booking my reservations with the Graceland Chapel. That I'll wait til Friday to do. The limo will pick us up. Elvis is going to walk me down the aisle and serenade to us and we will be exchanging the Elvis renewal vows. It should be a hoot! (insert school girl scream here)
Now I just gotta make some kind of effort to clean my house from now and Friday. My parents God bless them cause their awesome too are dropping everything and driving down Friday to stay with the boys. We fly out Sat. I'll have to take my parents on a dry run of the taxi route for Tuesday. The boys do still have school which really hinders my plans.
Sheesh I got so much to do and no time to do it. I figure I'm just gonna throw some random clothes in a carry on and hope for the best.
As far as the blog thing goes...Hubs will most likely be taking his laptop so I will certainly try to get some updates in on how much we've lost on the slots. However, I'm also considering allowing whoever wants, to blog sit for me. If you guys want.. no pressure! Just let me know. I think it would be fun to see what you have to say. Sorry it's last minute. I'd probably just need 1 or 2 guests..or more that's fine too. I just figure most everyone will be enjoying their Memorial weekends non blogging. At this point anything goes for me right now...can you tell I'm bouncing off the walls?
OK I'll be going now...kthanxbubye!

Psst...By The Way

....By the way, ThisFullHouse is giving away a $50 gift card to Target.

What are you waiting for? Go on now.

Why are you still here?

Nothing to see here move along...

Me + Math = Head Asplode

I thought my 3rd grade math woes were pretty much over as the school year winds down. Who needs to do math at the end of the school year anyway?

Why do they feel it useful to include information that I don't need and then confuse me with the complexity of real life situations? Like putting cases on a number of shelves and knowing how many cans in the case. Anyways my head asploded as I was thinking to much into it and wondering why I needed to know how many shelves. YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY SHELVES. I admit I make things way to complicated than it really is.


On that note GB decided I needed a before and after shot of me helping with 3rd grade math. I concurred..actually it was my idea cause well I need the fodder he just took the pics cause he's a good son like that.

3rd grade math? I love it!

Not Really

I'll admit right here I'm dreading 4th grade. It's only gonna get more complex. Then there's that whole long division thing. You'd almost think it was me attending 4th grade in the fall and not my actual kid.

Hello ladies from MomBloggersclub Had I known you were coming earlier, I would have cleaned up the place a bit. Welcome to this side of crazy, stick around the water's just fine.

Learning Laundry

I know your tired of me belly aching about the laundry. Yet I have learned a few things from the past few weeks about this whole line drying stuff.


...Yeah go ahead and skip on I totally understand.


There are certain varieties of clothing material that take nicely to line ribbon drying, bed sheets, some soft fabric t-shirts, if not directly in the sun some underwear does nicely, however some get a little to starchy. I think it's all about the placement and the position of the sun and if the moon's rotation is pulling at high tide or low tide (I have no idea what I'm saying.) Jeans don't do so great on the lineribbon. Starchy jeans were so 1970..not that I would know about that since I'm a child of the 80's.
A little bit of vinegar in the wash does seem to help a little with the starchiness.

Since it's been around 102 degrees here in Texas, the clothes do dry rather quickly..you know 3 hours kind of quickly.

I've been able to start up a quick load as soon as I get home and get the clothes out to dry before sunset. Those that don't get dry stay out all night. I should not have any problems with rain as we got our last good shower a week or so ago and that will probably be it for the rest of the summer.
Mosquito's and flies like that fresh air smell that comes from the fabric softener.


I hope this is my last post ever about the laundry. I'm honestly sick of it too. We hope to have an electrician come out soon. I'm going to guess they are going to tell us that our house is 40 years old and the wiring and voltage sux. Therefor everything will need rewired. We have had other issues with the breaker, like if there were to many things plugged in the kitchen it would flip the breaker on the fridge. Not to mention theres only 2 outlets in the whole kitchen but that's a ranting post for another day.


Since you endured this long how 'bout a cute pic of the Bossyboy?


*A random thought...some of you probably read Bossy.com. She is quite the funnae (way funnier than I, and who wouldn't want to blog in 3rd person?) Any time I mention my Bossy, I hope your not confused on who'm I'm talking about. Of course you probably aren't cause your a very highly intelligent Internets.
I have considered changing all of their (being the boys) names to "normal" names or would that confuse you even more? Because it still wouldn't be their real name.

"Why yes Mom, I did eat all my vegetables, thank you for allowing me to have clean underwear today."
