Wow what a weekend! Spend the day yesterday on the road. First Amarillo to watch the Bobcat Baseball team whoop up on the River road Wildcats 18-8, now they are standing 2-0 in District!!! yes baby!
After the game I hit up Taco Bell! Kids are tired of me going there every time we go out of town but once they get those Cinnamon twists, they suddenly remembered they like Taco Bell! See Mom does know best! lol
Also we stopped at Wal-mart to fill up the car w/gas. That is one of our Dave RAmsey things: we put so much money on a gift card from Wal-Mart and then we use it for gas only. once it starts going low then we know it means no more going going going.
I also got air in my tires!!! Okay may not be a big deal for you but me YES! Plus w/Nissan you have "special" air and regular will not work... Idk... but I was able to get that orange triangle w/the exclamation point off my dash!!! that thing was annoying after 6 months....
Now the kids & I were heading to Tulia, Texas! Yes, my big brother Josh finally got to move into his new house!!! I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard through school, working Pharmacy hours, getting married, having 2 beautiful wonderful boys! they have taken their time in building this house. They know exactly what they wanted & how. Its such a wesome house for a wonderful family. I was to go and help them move in BUT i liked my job even better and that was to watch and play with the kids. yes it was hot & windy, the kids did a very good job of staying out and playing majority of the time. All I know after a long day of moving it makes every one tired and cranky. So that is when we decided to head on out. After the seeing the progress of this house and now its finally done... its a beautiful home where his family will make wonderful memories!
Makes me think back to the house I grew up in. Which my parents still live in to this day. WOW... great times. Even the one in Estelline when we lived there, out in the country... sand blowing, buried cars in the cotton field, being drug on the hood of a car when it snowed, frog races on top of the cellar, playing hide-n-go seek! List could go on forever!
Today was a lazy day, did wash my sheets on my bed...the only thing on my to do list. Kids played out in the springler out back, wearing their swimsuits and roller blading all over the neighborhood. Did manage to watch the movie "Eat,Pray & love" awesome movie... so now I am trying to save up money to go to Bali!!! lol i will be saving for a very long time!
Hope you all had a blessed day!
Until next time...Mamabotos!

BEST PLACES TO HIDE MONEY AT HOME
(From the article: http://www.helium.com/tm/202270/places-hiding-money-please)
Best places for hiding money at home (Please don't come to my house and steal my stash.):
1. Underneath a safe.
A safe is an obvious place to hide money, so place something of lesser value in the safe so that a robber steals that and leaves the safe intact. Make a secret compartment underneath the safe in the floorboards, just in case. What robber will move a safe?
2. In the Refrigerator
There are a few companies that sell food items (containers and jars) with secret compartments. Just hope your robber isn't hungry.
3. Under the Refrigerator
Make a false bottom for the refrigerator by cutting out a thin sheet of opaque plastic and taping it (or magnetizing it) to the bottom of the fridge. You can line up the cash on the plastic and then place it under the fridge. (Be careful with this you don't want to hurt your back.)
4. Pens
A simple ball-point pen can be modified to fit one or two rolled-up bills. Also, place the pen in an area where people are not likely to utilize it, for instance, at the bottom of a drawer.
For added realism, CHEW ON THE PEN. Who wants to touch your nasty chew-toy?

Crazy Weather
Wow=weee all this snow and freezing cold weather has got to go!!! I have enjoyed the late start, but glad to be back to normal hours.
Cora is selling Girl Scout Cookies!!! She is so excited to be a Girl Scout!!!! She has her own little table set up at the shop downtown and she thinks all the money that people give her is hers to keep. ummm sorry honey, its not yours, even though she has had a few tip her for being so sweet. The girl knows how to work it already.
Jantz is glad that he hasn't had school this week, by his choice b/c there is snow on the ground and in his mind, you can't drive or get out when there is snow on the ground. However he went w/Nanna (Mother-in-law) yesterday to Amarillo to her doctor's appt. He said he had a great time. Well I wonder why? for one he got new shoes, a car track, and bubbles. Apparently he was a good boy. Then they went to eat at Red Lobster! Nanna loves Red Lobster and Jantz had: Ficken Chingers!!! lol I laughed so hard when they cam out of his mouth last night. We all do that at some point in our day.
Baseball season has started!!!! Had 2 beautiful days of practice and then winter hit. But thankfully spring is just around the corner according to Phil, the groundhog. super excited about this upcoming season but right now Basketball season is on a roll.

The Stomach bug strikes again! First Botos last Wed, Cora on Saturday night and me last night & today. For them it was a 12 hr bug, but for me a 24 hours. I missed Monday night Bible study and didn't work any JH games. So now my week has started off track.
But this FRIDAY it is CES night at Bobcat Den. Also, 2nd & 3rd grade will be doing basketball skills at half time of the games. Excited and nervous but these kids need to start sometime!
Dave Ramsey is awesome! I can say that Botos & I are full speed ahead. We are a team, goals set, budget sheets done! First month is almost over and so far I have not used my debit card at all! CASH ONLY!!! yahooooo....
Kids have gotten into skating! It wasn't too long ago that I took Cora to the skating rink to sign her up for Girl Scouts. She loved it! Kennedy and Cora took off... until then bam, bam, another bam... they kept falling! But they did not quit. The continued to get right back up and finish skating. Michelle Garcia and I was just laughing so hard. Well they finally got it the skating down and could make it all the way around and then come up to where I was sitting and BAM it the floor! I couldn't figure out why until I got up and looked on the floor and there lied a bobby pin! hahaha No more bobby pin equals no more falling!!! Those kids had bruises all over them the next couple of days. Now Jantz wants to go learn, so maybe Saturday we can tackle the skating rink.
Hope you all have a great day, Until next time ... Mamabotos!

MLK Day! How did you celebrate? We didn't, we had school but Cora told me that he gave a speech about a dreeeeaaaammm! lol Crazy girl.
The Fog! Wow it was heavy this morning driving the bus. It was scary. I also about missed my turn off to Vest Ranch. It did clear up some as we got into town, but not much. I love driving the bus! Some of you are thinking no way, but I enjoy seeing those kids every morning. I have my little route that I do and I am usually done by 4:30.
Maybe I get the "Shop Boys" to fix me up a PIMP Bus like the ones below!!:
Here is my van I want!!! maybe not yellow but light baby blue!!! heck yeah...
Today was a long day, teaching basketball to the entire K-3rd is tough! But again 'I love it!' I don't think they do anymore because we aren't shooting. All we do is ball-handling & dribbling right now. I think their legs get tired and plus they are out of breath! Getting 2nd & 3rd grade to perform at half-time of the Varsity Girls/Boys game on Jan. 28th. Its not gonna be PIP show but it will be awesome. I hope!
After school, I did my bus route AGAIN (yes, twice a day). Then I headed to the gym to work clock for JH & 9th grade Girls Basketball games. I have gotten pretty good at, keeping up with player fouls & player # who fouled & AND... how to turn off the Time-out that seems to go off with 15 seconds left in a quarter!!! So stinkin' proud!!! Now the fans won't yell at me (yea right) and the officials & coaches won't look at me crazy!!! Plus I work w/my sister & Ginger Wilson. These two girls know how to make you laugh!!! But I laugh at them on how mad they get watching girls play basketball...
After the games, I attended a Woman's Bible Study and have enjoyed it. But I feel like I need to not talk so much at it...lol. But I will be honest, I have kind of lost touch with God/Jesus. Had a great youth & youth Ministers'. I went off to college and went occasionally but not like I should. Got married & now I have kids. I am trying to be the example my mom was to us by taking us to church. She was a little better at than me. We will make it to church but hair may not be brushed and lucky the kids have on clothes! lol My mom had us dressed to a 'T'! Hair curled, dressed nice, panty-hose (oh I how I hate them things!). But we went, she would drive us all the way from Estelline in her little red Dotson 2 door car w/four kids! Moms rock!
After the study, I came home to my little girl asleep on the couch and a lil' man hiding trying to scare me!!! So He & I went a got bathes and off to bed to watch "2 Fast & 2 Furious." He loves those movies... thank goodness we have encore for free this month, so we can record it to DVR!
Most of the time he pretends he is asleep and scares!!!
Cora had a great day at school. Jantz didn't have school, he was a lazy bum all day... & Botos...yes he was at the Baseball field. He had those boys working hard getting ready for their season. Also, they are selling Bobcat Baseball "Fan Wear" if you are interested let me know.
Until next time...Mamabotos
