A long week it was! You know baseball season is about to start when Botos heads to Baseball Clinic in Waco, Tx. I am excited about this season. Last season was great, but I have a feeling this season might be just a little bit better. Who knows!
Botos has gotten big into Bow Hunting. He is addicted to a Bow hunting website like I am to Facebook! lol I did go sit the ground blind with him, just one time. He said I move around to much. I never go invited back. But hunting season this year was good to us. I started off with bang and I guess you could say I ended it with a bang. I never went back out after the two hunting trips...lol. First hunt, shot two does. Second hunt, 8 pt Buck. For Christmas, my husband and European mounted my buck (he did it himself) on to a Texas shaped out of wood. It looks sharp & yes it hangs in my living room!
School week was great. In PE, I have been teaching Basektball. We started off with dribbling & ballhandling. This week we will add passing. I have 2nd & 3rd grade performing on Jan. 28th, Friday, at the Varsity Girls/Boys half-time games. It is also CES night for all elementary kids!!! Packed house.
Botos was gone to WAco from Thurs-Sat. He enjoys seeing all the other baseball coaches, teammates from college, and talk baseball. He always has a good time. So the kids and I got to hang out. Also, Thursday, I attended a Women's Study Group. It was awesome!!! I am so thankful for the ladies who got this going. It is just what the Dr. order for me.
Saturday was a wonderful day. The kids and I slept in and then we headed out to the Stock show. I am impressed with kids that take the time to prepare their animals for this. So much hard work & dedication go into this. Plus the kids get to see the animals. We always have a good time. After we left there, we stopped by to see Pappy. He had asked the kids "how they do?' meaning them, if they entered in the show! lol. Asked Jantz if won the Chicken show!!! Jantz just started squawking like a chicken. Crazy kids!!! But they love their Pappy. After wards, Mammy had the girls spend the night. They played dress up! clothes were every where. We are so blessed to have such great grandparents!!!
Sunday has been a wonderful day. Botos cooked lunch and now he is off getting his deer feeders ready for next season. Kids have been doing their chores and playing wii games. I have been cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. Why do I let the laundry pile up all week long. It would be easier to do 2 loads a day. Easier said than done. Hanging out with the kids, still need to go grocery shopping, & finish up the laundry.
Oh, the whole Dave Ramsey thing is working out! Its so awesome, Botos & I are on the same page with the spending. I am anxious to see how this month goes!
Until next time...Mamabotos

1st Week of 2011
First week went by sllooooooowwwww! Monday- I was glad to be back at school. For one to be back on a schedule & two: see all the kiddos and hear what they all got for Christmas. You know it always amazes me how when I ask one student what they got by the time I get to the last student they ALL got the same thing!!!! LOL
Tuesday & Wednesday were normal. Went to church on Wednesday... took 2 out of the 4 kids with me. I love Wednesday night services. To see all the young boys go up and lead singing, present us a lesson and to say prayers. I know my kids pay more attention on Wednesday services... maybe we should have them do a Sunday lesson? Nah, but my kids look up to them and want to know when they can do that. Answer: 'Someday.'
Thursday, wacky day! Made it through...worked JH games. Always fun to watch the first game back after the Christmas break. Those poor kids did nothing over the break! So dead tired. But I also enjoy watching the teams and how much they have improved since the beginning of the season.
Friday---Went by fast....worked high school games. Again same as the J.H. teams... dead tired and improved. Varsity girls got their first District Win--Way to go Lady CAts!! Keep the W's filling the win column.
New Year's Resolution: Do you have one? or not? Well, we do. We, as Botos & I. For the last two years Botos has been telling me we need to work on our financial budget. Of course I agreed but we didn't stick to it or I didn't, he did. But this year is different. A wonderful friend (You know who you are!) has given us the insight of 'Dave Ramsey.' WOW WOW WOW. I am on board. Its amazing stuff, let me tell ya. He (Dave) takes the words right out of my mouth, every time we sit down to watch a lesson. The great thing about all this is 'WE' (Botos & I) communicate to each other. In the past it was, hey what do you have this week? or game? good day? yeah? going to bed? yes? good night? and we did it all over the again the next day. It became old and we knew it. So this whole "Dave Ramsey" deal is a blessing. Has opened our eyes to a whole new world. We have 'our time' where he & I sit down and discuss our finances and plus talk about upcoming events. The goal is to become debt free, do not use credit cards, borrow money, & save save save!
I have to admit something. I miss coaching! oh man, basketball season rolled around and hit me hard. But But...driving the bus route (making more money) and being home for my kiddos and has been the best thing for Botos & I. I am refreshed, getting sleep, helping kids w/projects, and just being home. Oh I miss the smell of a gym, watching girls improve, win, get along, & having fun. i will coach again some day but not any time soon. God knew what he was doing and he has a plan for me & us.
Of course i couldn't just sit at home. NO! I went and bought a 'TANNING SALON' and opened it up!!! hahaha but its great, get to see different people. Now that my mom & Kim are over here working...well...there is NEVER A DULL MOMENT!! We have fun!!!
Back to ol'Dave. Its tough, he has guidelines and steps for us to get done. Our brains our going 90 mph trying to think of how we are going to do it, but BAM! His next lesson tells us how. I think through this whole process we are going to have to have 'patience!' I have tons of that, but Botos ummm he is getting better. lol. More for him its a "Feel Good" feeling, knowing where every dollar is going and how much. So far we are doing really good. I will keep you posted. oh ohoh... another thing, is we have gotten the kids involved in it! They want to work and get paid and learn how to "save & give". Its funny what they will do now when we say, 'You will get paid?' and boom they are off! But they want it right then and there. The money in there hand. Kind of like us adults but they are learning they get paid weekly, not daily. So if anyone has a glass jar (pickle jar size, I know we should have tons of them!) we would love to take them off your hands to be used a piggy banks.
I have a feeling that this year will be a great, productive, awesome year for the Botos'. I hope it is for you and your families as well. Happy New Year!

1st Saturday of December
WOW... I got up... couldn't really sleep in due to the kiddos & Cora's new kitty!!! Yes, you read a few months back that her kitty 'Charlie' passed away. Well her Daddy surprised her today with a new kitty!!!! its a girl, calico color and her name has been...Diamond, Sprinkles, Sparkles, Kaly, Christmas Ball, .... & who knows what the new name will be tomorrow.
The kids & I headed to the Bobcat Den, so that I could work clock for games all day today. I am so glad that we host a tournament. I got to see a lot of great games, great teams, great coaching & some not so great coaching...hahaha. To me when a coach is more focused on the officiating then they have lost the true passion of coaching. Plus to see the team act like the coach...behaving so unsportsmans like! Anyhooo.....
After the tournament, headed out to help mom & dad unload their red trailer from limbs, leaves, & trash. Then I got in my car and to my surprise ALL 4 kiddos were in there!!! trying to hide & scare me.... little farts!!! come to my house and hang out. Cora was proud to show them her new kitty and they all played hard in the bedrooms and then we all sat down and watched "Evan Almighty!" Cora was yelling at the people to hurry up and get on the ark! & that they should have listened to the man in the white beard. Jantz & Aaron were giggling when the secretary said,"If that came out of your front, I'd hate to see what comes out your back!" lol....Kennedy wanted to know 'how come the animals didn't attack the bad people?' Cause there were snakes, lions, tigers, and they didn't bite anyone. But the best was... Aaron said, "Abraham Lincoln is the boss!" a.k.a. Evan! hahahaha
So after the movie, we at beef & chicken pot pies & then loaded up to go look at Christmas lights. So we got in the car, went & got Pappy and headed to the park. Before we got to the entrance of the park, 3 out of 4 kids were OUT!!!! Wow...no noise, talking, screaming, trying to sing "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer"... complete silence. Of course Aaron was up chatting away. Dropped Pappy & 2 kids off and came home to unload my two kids and they have been crashed out on the couch & chair ever since. WHAT A DAY!
I can't believe hoe much the kids have grown up! They can all go to the potty, wipe & flush...dress themselves...travel back & forth between my house & Mammy & Pappy's (even when its cold & dark!) ...the games the make up to play...enjoying movies & games...knowing how to hunt...the difference between a doe & a buck...lol...just so many things!!!! But I am so thankful I am in their lives daily to enjoy every moment with them.
Have a great day!

Thursday, November 4, 2010
Wow its been awhile. Halloween is over. Post pics of the kiddos & their costumes soon. Had a great time with Halloween this year. We took the kids to Wellington to their first haunted house. Cora did ok, but Jantz didn't.!! He doesn't care to go back to another for awhile. We had to tell him that it wasn't real blood, that it was Ketchup! Then he said ohhhhhhhhh its just Ketchup!!! lol funny kid. I will say it did take him a long time to go to sleep.
Cora has been having homework. NO... the teacher isn't sending homework, she just doesn't do it in class so she then has to do it at home. See, she sees Aaron having homework so she thinks she needs to have homework as well. Crazy girl! But I think we nipped it in the butt. I told her teacher & the Aid...well they put extra papers in her folder for homework. Let's just we spent about 45 minutes on those papers. Her words to me, 'Mom I don't like all this homework." hahaha
Botos on the other hand has gotten in to bow hunting. I must say he is a sharp shooter! He has managed to kill a 30 lb porcupine, 5 hogs, and a doe. I am thankful I haven't been target practice. When I know at times he wish I was...lol. He is all into hunting now...never seen anything like it. He knows what the weather will be like, which direction the wind is blowing and how fast, sunset to sunrise. Oh...guess what I am getting for Christmas.... A bow!!! yaaahhooooo... He is also wrapping up Football season. I love to watch him on the sideline. He gets fired up and his actions show it.
Me on the other hand, has been busy. I just feel so rushed all the time. When I have 3 minutes, I feel guilty like I should be doing something or trying to think of what I have not done! I have slacked at home. on the weekends, I do my cleaning &laundry. but that isn't what I want to do on my weekends. I want to get the 'Man Room' finished, paint my walls in the house, re=do my bathroom. guess those things will be summer projects. I have even gotten so out of rhythm of even laying out the kids clothes the night before. What is wrong with me? All I think about is sleep!!! I guess I am ready for a holiday break!!!
Also the Tanning Business is going. We have two hair stations up & running. So now you can get your hair cut and tan!!! There is also a play room in the back for kids to play, watch TV while you do your thing.
Until next time...Mamabotos.
Up coming event: My hunting Date with Botos this Saturday! Stay tune for the outcome...

Charlie & Cora
Today I am going to tell you about a Charlie & Cora. Charlie is Cora's little kitten that she found at her Mammy's beauty shop. Every since we brought Charlie home, Cora caters to this little kitten like a new born baby. She would sit with her to feed her, play, make her its own bed & would even walk this kitty. Yes, she would use the our Chinchilla's leash and strap it onto Charlie and walk all over the neighborhood. It was cute but funny!!!
Charlie just recently started exploring outside. She would never get too far but she would go out and then meow to let us know she wanted back in. Then we got Bevo, English Bulldog. He & Charlie had a rough meeting at first but the last two weeks they were best friends!!! So cute too.
The last couple of day, Charlie has been just lying around. We thought she was pregnant from being outside. We noticed she has been lying on top of the dish box, I guess the heat from the box. The other night I went to check on her, as I would pet her she seemed ok; then I would push on her side and she would jump & meow! So she was hurt. From what we have no clue. not been ran over, no sign of that. So then we thought maybe one of the kids had thrown her she landed fairly hard. Who knows!
So last night, we come in from Botos' game, which they won!!! Way to go CATS!!! We walk in the door Cora finds Charlie just laying around, so she picks her up, takes her to her bed and makes a pallet for her. Kids got baths and we are heading to bed, Cora decides that we need the heating pad for the kitty. I thought well, Charlie has been laying on the Dish Box, why not a heating pad. So I turned it on LOW...(no folks we did burn the cat up!) So I drag a twin mattress into our bedroom, Cora, Charlie, & Jantz lay on it. Charlie is between the kiddos...so sweet!! They were talking to her, "Its okay Charlie, we are going to take you the Dr. tomorrow!" "You will be okay Kitty!" OMG just melted my heart. Then Jantz squeezed Charlie to hard, so I moved him into my bed.
I got up this morning, touched Charlie, noticed her ear was really cold. I thought it was just the fan. I went on to my bus route. Well...I got a text from Botos. Yes...THE TEXT!! Charlie has passed away in the middle of the night. But Cora did not know it, even when she woke up. Botos told Cora to leave her alone and let her sleep. Broken hearted was Botos'. So we didn't know what to tell her. While she got dressed, Botos disposed the cat. Cora then came to check on Charlie and Cora noticed she was gone, Botos said she went outside to pee. Our little story is that Botos has taken her to the Vet and we will pick her up tomorrow (Sat.) Just say she died during surgery.
I don't know folks, it has been hard for me all day today, Friday, from just not telling her the truth, but she is a kid and we had already had two run away or hit by cars. (Really, we have no clue what happened to them.) But this kitty is soooo different. Plus, as a kid we always buried our animals...don't worry there are 3, maybe 4 buried in the back yard ....hahaha.
Bottom line its so heart breaking when you lose a family pet!!! We are ALL grieving here... What would you do? How have you handled these situations in your household? Bottom line is that Cora cared for the kitty like a mother does a baby!!! She was so sweet with her all the time!!!
Until next time...Mamabotos

Great Weekend!
Friday night, the Bobcats were in action! BUT I must say I was very disappointed in the fans...HELLO WHERE WERE YOU! I couldn't believe at the empty seats...c'mon folks...your not quitters and we don't teach our athletes (who need to see the stands PACKED!) to give up. I am very proud of those that stayed through the whole game. Even though we did not win but for those Bobcats & Coaches to stand holding their finger as #1 to our school song, sure does mean a lot to see the support of the fans still supporting them through the END! Now come of folks, get out and support your Bobcats! Because one day, your little one will be a Bobcat or Lady Cat and you will be saying the same thing...& I don't even have one playing yet!! Its just my love to support these kids. They are kids!! They need encouragement, to be motivated, & supported.
Saturday, woke up and hit the town's city wide garage sale. Didn't find much except!!!! Jantz found a train!!! Thank the lord...this is two Saturday's in a row we have been out on the prowl for a train by garage saling. After that, we headed to watch Aaron play some mad Flag Football!!! I'm telling he is good at getting those flags!!! Its so fun to watch all those kids play on Sat. mornings. You know something? I know everyone of them!! LOL So its hard for me to root for just one kid...but to me to see their smile when they see me there. I feel honored. I love my JOB! That evening, Jantz & I went to Estelline to visit my Grandad who recently had an accident w/a calf dragging him. Jantz told him, "Grandad you stay in the truck!" hahahaha so cute. But he is well, slowly healing but good.
Sunday, cleaned house! Got all laundry sorted, sheets cleaned, house dusted, swept, & mopped. As well as, decorated my house for Halloween!! I talked myself out of it, didn't want to do it but then something got in me and said DO IT! So I climbed up in the attic and threw everything down, no one to hand it to, so I was hoping nothing would break on its way down or me! So again, I am outside, just got finished setting up my first monster and I hear all 4 kids coming around the corner screaming and holding on for dear life, riding behind Aaron on his 4-wheeler. Aaron stopped so sudden that all the kids heads went forwarded & at his amazement of the house being decorated so then he took off so fast that all of their heads went flying back and hands went to clinching the person in front of them tighter. (no one fell off) So of course, they wanted to help, so I let them decorate and when the excitement ran out after 5 minutes, they were gone playing & I went to redecorating.
Sunday ended good for me but not so good for Botos. I just sat down, wondering how I haven't heard from Botos. So I am thinking, he got him a deer and wants to surprise the kids. Then he walks in the door w/the saddest look ever! He went hunting in Estelline, but didn't do much hunting for deer BUT he was hunting for his PHONE!!! He supposedly turned his phone on silent, so he couldn't hear it! and the battery was going dead SO he couldn't see the light blinking! hahaha then comes in the daughter, Cora. She said, "Daddy, you lost your phone?" He said, 'yes, i looked every where. By the gates, my pants pocket, in the truck." Cora, "Sure in your truck, b/c it always falls between your seat and that thingy and falls under your seat." Botos looks at me and goes out to his truck and WALLA! HE found his phone, Where? under his seat, right where Cora had said!" Hunting was a success if you ask me.
Ending the day eating supper at my parents, STEW!!! So it was a fun filled weekend. Hope you all enjoyed yours!

Friday night, the Bobcats were in action! BUT I must say I was very disappointed in the fans...HELLO WHERE WERE YOU! I couldn't believe at the empty seats...c'mon folks...your not quitters and we don't teach our athletes (who need to see the stands PACKED!) to give up. I am very proud of those that stayed through the whole game. Even though we did not win but for those Bobcats & Coaches to stand holding their finger as #1 to our school song, sure does mean a lot to see the support of the fans still supporting them through the END! Now come of folks, get out and support your Bobcats! Because one day, your little one will be a Bobcat or Lady Cat and you will be saying the same thing...& I don't even have one playing yet!! Its just my love to support these kids. They are kids!! They need encouragement, to be motivated, & supported.
Saturday, woke up and hit the town's city wide garage sale. Didn't find much except!!!! Jantz found a train!!! Thank the lord...this is two Saturday's in a row we have been out on the prowl for a train by garage saling. After that, we headed to watch Aaron play some mad Flag Football!!! I'm telling he is good at getting those flags!!! Its so fun to watch all those kids play on Sat. mornings. You know something? I know everyone of them!! LOL So its hard for me to root for just one kid...but to me to see their smile when they see me there. I feel honored. I love my JOB! That evening, Jantz & I went to Estelline to visit my Grandad who recently had an accident w/a calf dragging him. Jantz told him, "Grandad you stay in the truck!" hahahaha so cute. But he is well, slowly healing but good.
Sunday, cleaned house! Got all laundry sorted, sheets cleaned, house dusted, swept, & mopped. As well as, decorated my house for Halloween!! I talked myself out of it, didn't want to do it but then something got in me and said DO IT! So I climbed up in the attic and threw everything down, no one to hand it to, so I was hoping nothing would break on its way down or me! So again, I am outside, just got finished setting up my first monster and I hear all 4 kids coming around the corner screaming and holding on for dear life, riding behind Aaron on his 4-wheeler. Aaron stopped so sudden that all the kids heads went forwarded & at his amazement of the house being decorated so then he took off so fast that all of their heads went flying back and hands went to clinching the person in front of them tighter. (no one fell off) So of course, they wanted to help, so I let them decorate and when the excitement ran out after 5 minutes, they were gone playing & I went to redecorating.
Sunday ended good for me but not so good for Botos. I just sat down, wondering how I haven't heard from Botos. So I am thinking, he got him a deer and wants to surprise the kids. Then he walks in the door w/the saddest look ever! He went hunting in Estelline, but didn't do much hunting for deer BUT he was hunting for his PHONE!!! He supposedly turned his phone on silent, so he couldn't hear it! and the battery was going dead SO he couldn't see the light blinking! hahaha then comes in the daughter, Cora. She said, "Daddy, you lost your phone?" He said, 'yes, i looked every where. By the gates, my pants pocket, in the truck." Cora, "Sure in your truck, b/c it always falls between your seat and that thingy and falls under your seat." Botos looks at me and goes out to his truck and WALLA! HE found his phone, Where? under his seat, right where Cora had said!" Hunting was a success if you ask me.
Ending the day eating supper at my parents, STEW!!! So it was a fun filled weekend. Hope you all enjoyed yours!
Until next time... Mamabotos
