Been enjoying the 2 week vacation to much. That and freezing.

I was supposed to go get my nails done today, but felt like ass, so called and asked to reschedule.

I've been taking lots of pictures with the new camera. I will be posting some when I download them. I've taken a few of the gifties I got. Including the horrible gifties. hehehehehe

Okay that's what I'm leaving you with, and I'm gonna go read blogs myself.

Have a wonderful and very very safe New Years!!!!

Great Christmas

I hope you all had a great Christmas!!! Ours was very nice. Captain Daddy came over and opened presents with us. Then we loaded up food and went over to the Aunt and Uncles. Ate till we were sore and then played some games.

We ended up playing one called Mad Gab. Oh My Gosh this game was so much dam fun. Look it up people, it was hilarious.

I made some relish trays for dinner over there, and Gigantor took pictures, said I had to post them, cuz they were so purty. I didn't try to make them purty but dammit I did. hahahaha

Also...Alekx and House Elf got us a new digital camera for Christmas. A Nikon Coolpix. So....I will take some pics of some of the stuff I got and post them. hehehe

Oh and I have to send out a big shout of of a THANK YOU SO MUCH BIDDIE YOU ROCK!!!!! She sent me a package all the way from Canada. It had a webkins for my son and a couple rudolph ornaments for me. OMG they so rock, as does she!!!!

Anyhow on to pictures.



This is the first one I made. Dill pickel spears, little sweet midgets, spanish olives, black olived, broccoli and some tomato's in the center for color.

Second one I made. Carrots, celery sticks, sugar snap peas, yellow and red bell peppers, cucumbers lined up and the rest of the tomato's. So dam purty.


Couple Pecan pies I made, yummmmm Haven't had pecan pie in over a year.
And a couple pumpkin pies I made. I made them with splenda so Captain daddy could eat some, and he didn't eat any dam pie. grrrrrr I also made deviled eggs and poofoo and candied yams but didn't take pictures of those. Aunt and Uncle had Turkey, stuffing, mashed potato's, green been casserol, and biscuits. So...yeah we had lots to eat.


Well that's about it for me tonight, been having to much fun watching movies, and just vegging.

On a side note, our heater is broke. Like blowing out all cool air. Had our electrician friend look at it, he said he thinks he knows what's wrong and will have to price the part, but ummm yeah he hasn't done that yet. I'm fricken freezing. Wish us luck to get it fixed in a timely manner.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!!

Christmas Eve EVE!!!

First of all, that picture, I love it. Not only cuz it's funny. But because that calico looks just like Captain daddy's cat- Patches and that gray cat looks just like my Bugsy.

Yesterday wasn't to hectic thank good. I came out and dinked on the computer for a couple hours. Then captain daddy came over to do some laundry. Kiddo and I ate lunch, I had the rest of my Big Dam Burger, and Kiddo had left over Pizza. Daddy wasn't hungry.

I then started wrapping some of the last stuff I had (which is kiddo's stuff) He did good and stayed in his room, just asked to come out when he had to. I almost got all done with his, just a tiny bit more to do. It's the big stuff though. And santa stuff. I never told my son there was no santa. He probably believed longer than other children, but he figured it out, and he still loves the magic of santa and the meaning of it. So...We always have and always will have gifts from "santa". We are all good with that, cuz we know where they really came from.

I don't know what the deal with my husband is either. I asked him to do three small things this morning before work. Take two grocery sacks of stuff off the top shelf in the bedroom and bring them out to the living room in a box so I could wrap. To set a pack of meat out for dinner, and to put the last things in the dishwasher.

He told me before he left that he played on the computer, so I thought for sure he did the other stuff. Well not only did he not do it, but he also left the bologna out on the stove, and the side of my computer is off, and I don't know why. He even forgot to take some stuff he needed for work.

It's his Friday today too. He is now off till Monday, he gets paid for it too. SWEET!!! Then next week he has New years off and gets paid for it too. It will be totally nice to have him here helping me do pre work for cooking and do the cleaning the day before christmas (vacuum and straighten up is all I do) Most years he has never been here for that.

Okay well I'm off to drink more coffee and give a looksie at blogs. Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!!!

3 days left

Well how was everyone's weekend?? My last post was frantic about how much behind we were on Friday. But hubby did promise it would get all done and it did.

Saturday he woke me up before 9 (as per instructed) We got up and all of us had a bagel, then we went on to make 6 batches of fudge, which ended up making 10 pans of fudge. Thank god I bought the disposable pans. We made Dark chocolate with pecans, Dark with walnuts. Semi sweet with macadamia nuts, semi sweet plain. Milk chocolate with walnuts and Milk chocolate plain.

After making all the fudge it was about 1:30 and we decided to break for lunch. Did that, then Gigantor ran a couple errands. Down to deliver some avon, and to get something he needed, and then to post office. Then I had him run by the computer store. I've been having problems with things with graphics lagging and some will show up black screen but I have the noise. I got talking to a couple friends, and thinking. Maybe it's my video card.

So...he ran home and ran the computer in, and they said we had a prehistoric video card. hahahahaha So...we got a new one. Man this is so nice!! Everything plays on it.

Gigantor got home at almost 5. 5!!!!! And we still had shit to do. I found a recipe called Crispy Chocolate Mounds. But I don't like that name. I don't like "mounds" in a food name. So help me out. Do I re name them Crispy Peanut Clusters, or Peanut Cluster Crips??

They were so fricken easy and so good, it's should be illegal. Let me give you all the recipe.

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup rice krispies
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup salted peanuts

In pan or double boiler melt the chocolate and peanut butter chips. Mix it with the other ingredients, stir well to completely cover. Then by spoonful make mounds on waxed paper on a cookie sheet. Put in refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until set. Should make about 2 dozen.

We didn't have enough fridge room so we stuck the cookie sheets outside for about 10 minutes. hehehehee They were so dam good.

Then Saturday night while Gigantor was making breakfast for dinner. Kiddo and I filled the little goodie bags with vanilla wafers and graham crackers.

Sunday got up at same time. Made one batch of the pumpkin dip, put it in the fridge. Pieced together the plates with fudge and Crisps. Wrapped them in plastic and put labels on them. Captain daddy showed up and I was putting pumpkin dip in bowls, found out we would have to make a second batch. Took a break and captain daddy got us lunch.

He went to a place called Dam Bar and Grill. Got Kiddo a cheese burger that was probably 1/2 lb of beef. Got all of us something called Big Dam Burger. This thing was so huge, the bread was oval shaped. It had lettuce, tomato, burger, cheese, hickory sauce, bacon and onion straws on it. 1 whole lb of beef!!!! We had to cut it in half and could barely eat one half, so yeah we have lunch for today too.

We then finished pumpkin dip, loaded the suburban and went out to do our delivering. It was about 4 in the afternoon when we started. Got held up at one friends house. Got to Gigantor's sisters, and she informes us that his parents are about 15 minutes out (they were almost there) We got in the suburban and I go DRIVE DRIVE GO, GET OUT OF HERE!!! I know I'm so mean.

We finished our delivering about 6:30. And I was dead tired. We had no idea what to do for dinner, usually we do a big family dinner on Sundays. OMG we were so tired. So we went by pizza hut and ordered three of those pizza mia things, and went and looked at a few christmas lights while they cooked. Came home, ate, and died. We were all in bed and passed out by 10:30.

I hope you all had a great weekend though, and are having an even better week.

I'm Dead, I'm Really Dead


Okay lets see... sorry it's been a few days, let me update you a bit I guess.

Wed...it was still snowing at 9 in the morning. Took Kiddo and big J to school, went to the bank and went and got myself some breakfast.

Schools automated system calls to say that school would let out at noon and then be canceled for Thursday. Because of the snow. We don't have snow days, so they don't tack them in, so now we have to make up one day of school. It snowed all day, the little wet flakes. Then it really started coming down in big ass flakes and sticking. So...I made Kiddo run with me to do errands, before it got so bad I couldn't get in and out of the house.

Thursday---I did get to sleep in. Skinny K came over for most the day, it snowed and rained all day. My computer wasn't up for most the day. So...I wrapped. From the moment I got up, till after 5. I wrapped. And you know what. I'm not done. MOTHER BUNNY HUMPER. But you see, I wrap for my sister, her husband, a friend (ship those off) then I wrap for Gigantor's family, for another friend in town (found out her aunt and brother were gonna be here, so had to find them a little something and wrap it), For my aunt and uncle (going to dinner at their house), for my cousin and her husband (they will be in at aunt and uncles hours) For my dad, for Gigantor, for Kiddo. And Captain daddy comes over asking me to wrap his presents. And I'm done, he sticks a lable on it, and the fricken thing is for me. grrrrrrr

And it's not like we have a ton of money or presents. It's that, all my life, I break apart stuff (like if it comes in a set) and I wrap every single little piece, that way it looks like more presents and is more to open. So..yeah I got almost all of it done. A couple things for daddy, and just Gigantor and Kiddo to do, haven't done anything for them yet.

Today (Friday) Gigantor got up and took Kiddo to school, then he ran to exchange something at the game store, which wasn't open, said it would be at 9. So...he went and shipped a box, and got some disposable pans for all the fudge I wanna make. Then went back at almost 9:30 and they still weren't open. grrrrrrr

He was supposed to come home and wake me up, and then we run to walmart before kiddo got out of school for half day, that way we could make some of the goodies this afternoon.

Well he went and spent 40 minutes in the bathroom, and didn't come in to wake me up till I started yelling at him at about 10:15, about why he hadn 't woke me up. So...we had enough time for me to get dressed, get medicine in me and make a list. It was almost 12. Ran back to the game store. Went and got Kiddo, took his friend home. Ran to Taco Bell, grabbed some lunch and went home to eat it.

Went back out to Walmart, spent an hour and a half down there. The stupid ridey carts weren't charged right, so mine died in the first isle, so Kiddo pushed it the whole time. If I kept the button on to go forward it moved really easy. Did all our last minute shopping, plus more gift tags, and food for the pets. And I needed a few more things for goodie making.

Left there, and went and got gas, it was down to 1.77 a gallon. whoooohoooo Then went and delivered a few of my books and christmas cards, and went out to the feed store to get the dry dog food. Went to the post office, and came home. By the time we unloaded the walmart stuff it was 5:30. People came over to get their avon, and I guess Gigantor made arrangements for him and Kiddo to go to the sparring center. *insert evil eye glare here*

I was so dam pissed, cuz I told him we were over half a day behind this weekend, and he wasn't going anywhere unless I told him too, and he was gonna help me get shit done, so I'm not up all fricken night christmas eve. And he decided on his own to leave. At which point I got mad and yelled IF YOU GO ANYWHERE AT ALL THIS WEEKEND THAT I DON'T TELL YOU TOO, THEN YOUR NOT WELCOME TO COME BACK!!!!

He just goes. Yes dear. Then my fricken son started panicing. OMG are you getting a divorce, why can't dad come back here??? ahhhhhhhhhhh So...I had to calm his happy shit down. Dammit!!!!

Anyhow that is my week updated. I told Gigantor we were starting at about 8 in the morning getting the goodies done, and delivering goodie plates that evening along with my avon and books. He's like...Okay I promise we will get it done. But we will wait and see I guess. hhehehehe

I guess I'm better off than Skinny K's parents. They are going out of town tomorrow, cuz they haven't bought one single thing yet. hahahahahha And they have three kids. ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Okay I'm gonna go and drink some pepsi (dammit that we are out of rum) And wait for Gigantor to get home with my kid so we can have some dinner.

Hope you all have a great weekend. And remember to stop and breath, cuz I'm not...I'm just hyperventilating. hahahahahaa

Dam Peanuts!!!!


That is what us, every animal, and our floor looks like around this time of year. hahahahaha

Those peanut things go everywhere, and you can't get them up. We were saving a box full and two garbage bag fulls, so I could use them when I shipped my pressies out. Gigantor packed the boxes so well, we only ended up using half a bag, but it seems the rest are strewn about the house. hahahahaha

OMG it's so fricken cold here.

Saturday night after the horizontal rain, it started snowing. We don't get much snow here. But it was snowing, then there was some thunder with the snow. Freaked me out, I've never heard of thunder with snow. It stayed for half of Sunday then melted off.

So...I had kiddo walk to school yesterday. It was a bit over cast, but was major cold. When he walked home, when he came in the door it was snowing again. It snowed until about 5 this morning, sticking. Only good thing was it was they teeny tiny flakes. So...it is now melting off quite fast. Melting in our heat wave of 35 fricken degree's HAHAHHAHAA

The weather channel says it will probably start snowing again this afternoon/evening and snow all the way through tomorrow night. I wish it was next week, so all the kids could have a white christmas, and snow while they are out of school.

And let me tell ya with the problems I'm having with my knees and back, this snow is not helping. I can barely move. It takes all my strength to walk to the bathroom, and sleep has been near impossible, from all the pain. 5 Ibuprophen don't even touch the pain.

I called today to make an appointment with my doctor, to talk to her about how bad the pain has gotten, see if we can do something else. And I need more meds, we finally got the new insurance cards, so I'm gonna need to get the perscriptions in right away. Earliest appointment they had was January 26th. ahhhhhhhhhh dammit!!!!! So...I took it, so I wouldn't be waiting till fricken March.

I did talk to the "perscription nurse" told her I was gonna run out of meds before then. She said since I had an appointment on the books they would let me have more till then. Thank God!!!

I was so tired and hurting last night, Gigantor was gonna grill some steaks and it was snowing pretty bad, that I went, ummm.... lets order pizza. The guys never complain when I say that. hahahahaha

Okay that's enough of me bitching. Have a good static clingie Tuesday!!!!

I tried to be Crafty!!

We have had a busy busy weekend. I told you all about our exploits on Friday.
Well....Saturday we got up and ate some brunch and worked on just a few things around the house, floors and stuff.

Gigantor kept saying he was going to work on the fence or run to the store, but he never did either he just sat there. I finally screamed at him real hard, and he got up and worked on the dishwasher, cuz it was not working at all.

A neighbor came over to order some last minute gifts in Avon, then another customer came over and paid a bill and ordered some stuff. By then it was after 3, and we had some running around to do.

We went to a store (fricken thing was closed) then to the post office. Then to my aunts to pick up her avon order. Well she wanted us to come in and she was struggling with her tree. So Gigantor put it up, then uncle got off work, so Gigantor helped him put lights up outside. Then Aunt decided to buy us all pizza. We got home at almost 9. But it was fun.

Today we got up and I had Gigantor set me up a card table and I finished filling out my Christmas cards, and I did up my avon order, so I just have to put it in the computer tomorrow.

He worked on some dishes, and cleaning my "jars". He got them all cleaned and I went to work on them. We made a pumpkin dip that I got off a blog--Kay's Kitchen and we tried it. Dam it's good. So...we are gonna make a couple batches of that, and some fudge and pass it out next weekend as gifts, and these jars also.

So...like I said I was feeling crafty. Don't know how good I did, but I recycled too.

You all know I love to buy them candles from my neice. Well....I took a few medium and some large jars of those burned out candles and we cleaned them out really well. I then put on some decals form that Uppercase Living and then filled them with goodies and decorated the tops. They can reuse the jars too. I thought they turned out pretty good. So...I added some pictures.


These are of my work surface and of the jars I was going to be working on. I had all my stuff out there.



This is ove the jars after I put the decals on them. Left, is a candy, middle is a silver snowflake, right is green holy.


More of the one's with decals. Left is gold ornament, middle is red mitten, and right is a bright green stocking.


This is how the back of the jars looked after I finished decorating them. I had some different color schemes going on with the different decals on the front. I think they look so cute. But boy my thumb is sore from all the zipping of the twirlie ribbon.


This is the front of some of the jars. The medium jars have some ribbon like hard candies in them. The big jars have the wrapped soft pepermints. I am going to put in some of the hard ribbon like candy on top of the mints, the day we are handing them out. I didn't do it now, cuz I didn't want it all smelling and tasting like the pepermints. But I think with a goodie plate of fudge and pumpkin dip and a goodie bag with cookies to use in the dip, that this is a nice gift. All I spent money on was the candy. I had the jars from the candles for the past year, I had ribbon and bows, and the decals I traded her an Avon gift for them. About 10 bucks and I have 7 really nice gifts.

I know it's not "Awesome" but for me, I think it's rather crafty.

Okay I'm off, Have a great Monday everyone!!!!

Boy oh Boy my Hoochie Coo Hurts!!!!


Well not exactly my hoochie coo, but the groin muscles right up at the top of my thighs.

I bet that one needs some explaining huh?? Okay I'll get there.

We got up this morning, knowing we had a shit load of shitty shit to do. Gigantor is off on Fridays member???

So...get kiddo to school, then Gigantor goes and checks on the medical insurance cuz we still haven't gotten cards, and I only have 3 weeks left of all my pills. Ummm yeah I need to get in and get some meds pretty dam quick.

So...I get up and get all the stuff out to start wrapping the stuff I have to mail. Gigantor went in the kitchen and made us some bacon, cut up and put in scrambled eggs. Nice good protein packed breakfast to give us energy, and I was on my 2nd refil mug full of coffee. hahahaha

We watched a tape while I wrapped. And I wrapped my friend Roo's stuff (mail it to her in phoenix) and wrapped Alekx and the House Elf's stuff. Got it boxed up. And man my legs were cramping, I was having to hold them in weird possitions. And I've been having so many problems past few months, it just hurt.

Then we took off and went to True Value. The U.P.S. store closed here, so only place intown to send off U.P.S. stuff is true value. So...I'm sitting in the suburban while Gigantor is in mailing the boxes off. And I'm watching the old guy ringing the red cross bell.

And he's standing there ringing slowly. Then all of a sudden he starts pacing a little and rining a bit more quickly. I giggled to myself and thought. I bet he has to pee. Then he started pacing real hard, and putting one leg crossing the other, and holding onto the pole with the red pot on it, and boy that bell was going a million miles and hour. I'm thinking OMG this old guy is gonna crap or pee his pants. Well the door opens, it was Gigantor, and this guy picks up the pole and red pot, and basicly runs Gigantor over to get inside, and he drops it off, then I can see him through the glass store front. You can see his red santa hat, go like 100 gazillion miles an hour to the back. This old as a fart guy was running as fast as he could. Gigantor gets in the car, and I go. Yup, had to pee. He looked at me perplexed, then asked me if I seen the guy run him over. hahahahhaa

We then went to a place called Gabcor Games and bought some magic cards for stocking stuffers, and to give two of our friends for christmas.

We went to the school to make sure my son was staying after school to catch up on homework. They said yes, and I was like oh good, we can go to walmart. It was 2:15 and I knew it would take us a while, and kiddo was supposed to be in homework till 4:30.

We go to walmart and I get on a ridey cart, and we had to go all over that dam store to find the stuff I needed. I did get some good stuff though. But my groin muscles started hurting. Cuz with my weight, the lymphadema, and my knees, it's more cumphy to sit all sprawled out like a guy. Well in them ridey carts you have to have your legs all together real nice. And OMG those muscles hurt doing that for the 2 hours we were there.

Oh man half way through the store the Kiddo calls on the cell phone to tell us he's done with his homework. We are like, ummm well tough, your gonna have to sit on the bench out front of the school till we get there, about a half hour. And yup it took us a half hour to get up there. hahahaha Poor kid.

We then ran home for potty breaks, and unloading, then back out to circle K for drinks, and to the post office and down to Gigantor's sisters to drop off some sewing.

Man I am tired, and my hoochie coo muscles hurt like hell.

I need to work them out more I guess. hahahahahahaha

Hope you all have a good weekend, and get your hoochie coo muscles pulled too.

What the Hell??? Moments


Oh man I've had alot of What the Hell??? moments lately.

First Blogger won't let me comment, it's a wonder it did this post. I have gone and left the same comment 3 or 4 times on a blog and it won't post it. WHAT THE HELL???

Last night my son had a concert (he's in percussion) I got dressed nice, put on makeup, jewelry, perfume, took pain meds so I could do the walk with my knees and legs and back. Then....I got major sick to my stomach. I thought I caught what he had. I had to bail and make Gigantor just go alone. I laid down for a bit and it went away. WHAT THE HELL??? I wanted to go real bad, but didn't want to have the uncontrollable puking that goes with what he had. But it seems it was that thing when I get over tired and get rather sick. grrrrr

My rat dog, hates the neighbor lady. The sweet, young, shy, raising her 11 year old sister, has a new baby, neighbor lady. Foxy will hit the door begging to go out, then bark and growl non stop at her. And this poor lady...her dryer is outside, and with the baby, does laundry every day. Then gets verbally assaulted by my dam dog. WHAT THE HELL???

Then....we will call the dog in, or go spank her when we yell at her, and she will run it and jump on the couch, flop on her back shaking, looking all guilty, and if you even look at her, she pisses. WHAT THE HELL????

It's so bad, it's made this sweet young thing (the neighbor lady not the dog) cry a couple times. She thinks we hate her, and we have to keep saying, no, it's our dumb ass dog that has attitude. Poor neighbor lady.

My dishwasher is making a god aweful noise. Like a wash machine when it's off ballance. And right before Christmas too. WHAT THE HELL???

Every time my dad has come over in the past 4 weeks, he has been wearing the same t-shirt. WHAT THE HELL??? I'm hoping he's washing it somewhere in between. Seeing as he does laundry here, and he's wearing it each time he comes over.....it's making me wonder. I'm trying to decide if the t-shirt was grey to begin with. But if I think about it to much *shudder*

Okay something that really bugs me, I don't know why, but I HATE it.

You know those little dance groups that are the old old old ladies??? The one's that think they look so cute??? Dress up in little tiny mini skirt shit??? Dance around with no timing??? Always wear red??? WHAT THE MOTHER HUMPING HELL????

I'm sorry, I mean I love seeing older people getting out and doing all sorts of stuff. But these women just piss me off. They wear mini skirts, and try to look sexy, and they dance saying they have been practicing all year, and not a single one of them is doing the same dam dance. They can barely lift their feet, they wear really high heels WHAT THE HELL??? Someone is gonna break a hip I swear.

Okay I'm gonna go have more coffee, and cuss at blogger more.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!!!!

December Tornado


Man we were so busy this weekend, that it felt like a tornado whipped through here.

Friday, Gigantor was off, we got up and I got all my out of country packages/cards ready to go. I balanced both check books, and did up some deposits. We then went and got money from Captain Daddy to get him some muscle relaxant stuff cuz he threw out his back. We went to the bank, post office, store, to get something to eat, to pick up avon, to get the kid, to get gas, to post office again, then home.

I wrote up my avon and got it all ready. Got kiddo ready so he could go to a church christmas party with skinny K's mom. And got ourselves ready for Gigantor's company party. We went to the party, and I got a text saying Kiddo was throwing up. We came home and he threw up every hour on the hour the entire night. My little heathen is allergic to churches or something. hehehehehe

Saturday we got up early to go have breakfast with Captain Daddy cuz his birthday was Friday and he turned 68. He wouldn't answer his phone, he showed up here when we were out looking for him. Finally we found him and he said how about lunch later. So...i went to my hair appointment, then we went and paid some bills and to the post office. Asked Captain Daddy about lunch and he wanted to try for Breakfast on Sunday instead. uggghhh

So...went and delivered my avon and delivered books, then went to Walmart and Bashas. Come home to make some hot dogs for dinner, and our friend D showed up, so had him for dinner, then both me and Gigantor kept falling asleep on the couch, so D left.

As we went to bed we caught a 2nd wind and was up till like 2 in the morning. uggghhh. Got up at 7 and went to breakfast with Captain Daddy, had a nice time.

Came home and cleaned the rest of the living room and got all my christmas decorations up. Gigantor ran back to the store, and I made out bills. Then Big J's mom came over and we played in my makeup, so she could find the type she wanted/needed from avon.

I made out a few cards, and Gigantor grilled some steaks. We ate dinner and watched the wonderfully boring as stinky ass movie Cyclops. hahahahahaha

Now just waiting for the kid to shower and dogs to eat, I think I'm going to bed early.

I hope you all had a great weekend. And have a good Monday.

awards!!!

Lookie what I got, lookie lookie.

Miranda gave me an award. Apparently she gave it to me a long time ago, but I missed it. hehehehehe I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pass it on or not, but I think you all make me happy enough to piddle. So you must give me happy feet. hehehehehe

In other news why do my rat dog and cat have to torment each other.

When I got Foxy, the cat was not happy, not at all. They have had a hate hate relationship ever since.

They don't attack each other cuz they know I will beat their butts.

But the cat will be up on the couch with me. The big three cushioned couch, that has plenty of room. And Foxy has to jump up and lay right on top of him. Sit on him, and tramp all over him. I spank her and throw him down, but by that time the cat got pissed and left.

Then Foxy will be in under the comforter on the bed (one of her favorite places to sleep) and the cat will jump on the bed, sniff all over it till he finds her, and stand right on top of her. She starts growling and wiggling, and he just stands there with all his weight. I spank him and throw him down, but by that time the dog has jumped down.

Sigh....that must be what it's like to have multiple children huh???

Okay well before I leave you, one last question.

You ever had a sharp fart??? You know the one's that feel like it has spikes on it, hurts your bungholio?? Gigantor says they are farts with corners. hahahaha
Okay now that I got that visual in your head I will leave you all for the day.

And don't deny it, we all fart, it's a fact and I know you probably have had a spikey one at some time in your life. Makes me laughing thinking of everyone who will deny it. hahahahahahaa

Okay have a good Thursday everyone!!!!

The Great Monkey Bread Experiment


Okay I had some of you ask what monkey bread was, and others wonder what the hell I was talking about.

Let me sorta set the stage here.

I saw Paula Deen doing a kids cooking show and they made Monkey bread.

4 cans of canned buscuits, cut them in half roll them into balls
1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon mixed put on a plate. Roll balls around in the mixture till coated.
Drop balls down into a greased bundt pan
On stove melt
3/4 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Let boil for one minute, pour all over top of buscuit balls.
Cook in 350 degree oven for 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert onto plate, and eat warm.

Sounds pretty easy right??? RIGHT????

Well unless you are a dumb ass dork like me. First, I thought I had one of those regular old metal bundt pans. Ummmm wrong!!!!

What I had was a ceramic bundt pan. A ceramic one that is only about half the height of the metal one.

Did that make me think twice about how much shit I crammed in it??? Well it should have.

Did I stop to think about how much canned biscuits increase in size?? Well I should have!!!!

So...I proceed to squish the 4 cans of canned biscuits in this much to short bundt pan. Maybe I should have actually thought twice that they were up to the tippy top of the pan before baking. Ummm but no, that would take some brains.

Maybe I should have thought twice when all the yummy brown sugar/butter mixture was having a hard time pouring on the top cuz it was so full. Well I didn't. What I did was use a steak knife to squish biscuits out of the way, so the yummy mixture could soak all the way to the bottom.

Feeling very pleased and proud of myself we stuck the concoction in the oven. Thank god for some reason Gigantor decided it would be a good idea to put the bundt pan on top of a cookie sheet.

35 minutes, timmer goes DING!!! Open the oven and we all say. OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT????

Ummm well all the biscuits had majorly expanded in size (like they are supposed too) And remember I had them crammed to the tippy top. They were all still stuck together, but this monkey bread thing looked like it had tenticles. They were stretching out all over the place. It had risen a good 4 inches up above the pan and stretched out reaching for salvation in all dirrections. And all the one's that were on the "outside" of the pan were hard. They were monkey bread rocks. hahahaha

Gigantor pulls it out of the oven, him and kiddo look at me. I shrug and go.....oooops. lmao it was so funny. We really should have remembered to get a picture.

Well we took a machete and hacked off the tenticles, and threw them at our enemies. then we inverted it on a plate, and the part that was in the pan was perfect. Oooey and goooey and hot and sticky. It's an amazing cinnamon sticky bun experience. You just pull it apart and eat. And that's what we did.

Lesson learned. Unless I get a big metal bundt pan, I will only be using 2 cans of canned biscuits in this one at a time. hahahahahahhaa

Hope you all have a good Tuesday!!!!

Missed you all!!!!


Thank you all for all your happy holiday wishes. We had a very nice Thanksgiving.

Okay to clear some things up, some of you asked "WHAT THE HELL IS POOFOO??"

Well it's actually called Pink PooFoo (invented and named buy one of our gay friends whom is family)
You take one tub of whip cream, put in one pack of cherry jello, stir till blended, put in one tub of cottage cheese, stir, then one can of drained pineapple chunks. Mix well and chill. It is so dam good, and we can't have one single holiday without it. And we have tried all types of jello and fruit, and ick. So we stick with that.

On Wed, Kiddo helped me do some cooking. We made the stuffing, and pumpkin pies. We made some monkey bread, but my bundt pan is to small for 4 packs of biscuits, and it exploded all over. hahahaha

Thursday got up and cooked and made stuff, and had a friend M over for dinner (captain daddy had to work) Then we played some Magic (card game)

Friday, we sorta slept in. Gigantor ran down at 6 to walmart and got a couple movies for Kiddo and some jeans for him and kiddo (8 bucks a pair) and a present for me and daddy. Then he came back home to bed. Daddy came over and we had leftovers for lunch and watched a movie. I got so tired I ended up getting sick that night. I had to go right to bed, to keep from throwing up. I get really upset to my stomach when I get over tired.

Saturday, Gigantor got up and was gonna go to stores with Daddy, but daddy didn't show up. Gigantor went down and daddy was to tired. So...we had some lunch, watched a tape. Then Kiddo and Gigantor got all the christmas stuff out of the shed, and we put the tree up. No ornaments but the tree was up. I started address my christmas cards. Oh oh oh and if any of you want one from me, you better e-mail me your address. hehehehehe I love sending cards and send tons of them.

Sunday, I got up late, Gigantor was supposed to do some ordering online but didn't. So...guess that's some stuff I'm not getting for christmas. hahahahaha

We had some lunch and I finished addressing cards while him and kiddo brought in ornaments and put them up. We still need to finish a few shelves, then my living room will be completely hosed down with christmas. hahahaha We will probably do that this coming up weekend.

So...now I am writing a quick post, and gonna get back to reading and updating regular. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, or regular weekend if you aren't in the states. hehehehehe

Sniffle Snork


Look at that adorable penguin. Cracks me up.

Yesterday I had a sneezing fit in the morning. Now when I sneeze it's one or two times, then done. I must have sneezed a good 10 or more times, one right after the other. Then when I was done, I didn't feel so well. Little stuffed up, little burning sinuses.

Plus I was tired as hell, so I went and laid back down for a couple hours, but I ended up taking some cold medicine anyway.

I don't feel bad, but I think I'm gonna have to take some more today. I'm all sorts of stuffed up. But it doesn't feel like I'm sick, if you know what I mean.

Yesterday we finished listening to the audio book of Twilight. Gigantor and I read it quite a while back, but it's a bit to hard for Kiddo to read, so we checked out the audio book, and finished it last night, so we are gonna go to the movies tonight. I'm so dang excited I could piddle. hehehehe

It's cloudy today, there is supposed to be a huge storm front head through Arizona. We are supposed to get rain and snow in the state starting tonight and tomorrow and lasting through Saturday. It really hasn't felt much like fall at all, and now it's gonna hit us in one giant swoop. hehehehe

Well I'm gonna go make me something to eat (probably popcorn) and drink some coffee and try to warm up. hehehehe

Hope you all have a great Tuesday.

Weekend shudders


Wow what a busy weekend. I won't break down everything. But I'll recap.
Friday
Cleaned some, wrote out lists, wrote out half the bills, got avon in and wrote it up.

Saturday
Cleaned a bit more, had lunch, delivered avon and books, went to walmart to do part of the holiday shopping, got home about 6:30 had some dinner and died, were so tired.

Sunday
Kiddo and Gigantor went to Bashas to finish the shopping, did tons of laundry, did the rest of bills, made some lunch, watched a dvd, finished the cleaning, tons more laundry,made a nice dinner. Time for bed. uggghhh

OoOOO but tonight....Kiddo went in to take a shower and found THIS
luckily he called Gigantor in. Now it was closer to the one at the bottom of the 4 pictures. Gigantor says it was a bit bigger than that though. OMG that is so scary. Have you read up on them or seen the damage they can do??

I'm gonna be shudder shaking all night long.

Okay on a side note, I think the vortex bra is kicking back in. I found crumbs and a tic tac in there today. It's probably been 2 years or more since this house has seen a tic tac. hahahahahaha

Okay hope you all had a good weekend and have a great Monday!!!!

Friday, November 21, 2008

What a day!!!


Yes Gigantor did succeed in ticking me off yesterday. But good news is Kiddo got his work done and got it caught up.

Today was a very busy day. Gigantor got up with the kid, and made sure he ate well, and took him and Big J to school. I slept in a bit. Then Gigantor went out to his old work, to pick up a check stub for a few bucks (last few days he worked there) And he went and got dry dog food from the feed store. He then went and checked a couple shops. We were looking for the HALO games, cuz we got Kiddo an X box 360 for christmas. He has a playstation 2, but I think it's time to get him another one. And he has really really wanted the Halo games.

Anyhow Gigantor came home and I got up and started folding clothes while he made us some oatmeal. We ate then got to work. I came out making the list for shopping for Thanksgiving. Then I went through three advertisements, looking for which place had the best sales. After that was done I started on bills.

I kept on Gigantor's ass about cleaning some counters and stuff. We are cleaning house this weekend, for Thanksgiving, and so I can get my Christmas stuff up next weekend. He kept stopping and not doing anything, so I had to be this aweful dictator. grrrrr

We decided to break for lunch at about 2. And Captain Daddy showed up the minute we started eating. I hate it when he does that. grrrrr

He couldn't get some lego's ordered, so asked me to do it online.

Then Gigantor left and went to pick up the boots that work was buying him for work. 16o dollar boots. Holy crap!!!! Then he went to this place called Double Play (used game store) found the first Halo game so got it. Then to True Value to make a payment (we have been charging on his parents account and paying it off) Then to the post office, then to go pick up my avon order that came in.

He came home and Daddy left. And I got busy and got my avon done. Gigantor did finish all the counters and we worked on the table. We just need to pick up the floor and sweep and mop, then we can move on to the living room.

Now it's almost 6:30 at night and Gigantor and Kiddo went to workout at the Sparing Center. And I'm fricken hungry from all the work we did, but will wait for dinner till they get done. Proably just have him pick up a couple burgers.

I'm heating a few Hot Tamale candies to tide me over. hehehehee

Okay I'm off to go read blogs or something. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Hope you liked the dragon picture I put up. I just love me some dragons. hehehehe

Boys still suck

Man, men are in the shit hole this week I guess.

Okay on my son's science experiment. It's titled THE MEAT TORTURE EXPERIMENT

He took 4 clear containers, and did this
cup1 put 1/3 cup water and two teaspoons salt in it
cup 2 1/3 cup cold coffee
cup 3 1/3 cup vinegar
cup 4 1/3 cup coca cola

Then he put in a chunk of deer stew meat and we put lids on them. Each day we get them off the shelf and open then and he documents any changes. It actually is pretty neat so far. I'm just glad I talked him out of doing one of the cups with milk. Oh yeah I wanna open milk and red meat after a week. Ummm NO!!!

Today I got an e-mail from his language arts teacher. I saw on the internet sight that he had an F in there, and I told him he better fix it. He told me he was missing a couple assignments and was gonna fix it. Any how...she e-mailed me. He is actually missing 8 assignments. That he was given time in class to do, and never did. She also told him to do the final draft of two yup TWO essays here at home on his voice writing program. She told him over a week ago about all of this.

Has he brought anything home?? NO
Has he tried to get caught up at all?? HELL NO
Was he in some of the biggest trouble of his young life?? YOU BET YOUR RUBY RED HAIRY ASS HE WAS.

So...he did get one essay done tonight, he just needs to check a flash drive out from the school and bring it home and load it. He swears he turned in the other essay. Swears it. I told him to fix it tomorrow. And he is grounded till the 8 other assignments make it home and he gets them done. When he gets grounded it's from friends and games. video games, computer games the such...those are his love. Then if he continues to piss me off, he gets grounded from T.V. and then his stereo gets taken away. So far he's only ever gone without games for about a month and t.v. for just over a week.

Now his friend Big J... he's gone two months, no friends, no t.v., no games, no music, not able to come out of his room cept for dinner and school, and no toys, just a book is all. I told kiddo if he didn't straighten up I could start punishing him that way.

Well he came to me at bed time and got a list of everything he has to get tomorrow. I think it's gonna get done and in by monday at the latest.

Anyhow, that's my boy issue for today. Gigantor might give me one tomorrow. hahahahaha

Okay I'm going.

Have a good Thursday everyone!!!

Boys suck


Grrrrrrrrrrrrr boys suck. That child of mine is gonna drive me to drink. Fuck a duck.

At parent teacher his science teacher said something about science experiments before Christmas. So...I was thinking in December. But she said the paper work for it and "proposals" had to be done the month before.

I have been asking him every 3rd day for a week or so, and he kept saying, "I don't know anything about it"

Then for the past week I've been asking him every day about it, and he kept doing the "I dunno" So I yelled at him hard yesterday, told him he better find the fuck out today or he was in big trouble.

He comes home today and announces, that he needs to have a weeks worth of his experiment and his journal about it done, and we have to start tonight. I'm like "what???!!!" I go "when is it due" he tells me it's due Monday.

I start screaming THAT'S NOT A WEEKS WORTH, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE???

He goes, oh well we will have 4 days worth. All not caring and all. I was a bit ticked. So...I sent Gigantor to the store to pick stuff up, and I made Kiddo go with him, he was pissed, but let me tell you I can be much more scarier than him when I'm pissed. hehehehehe

I was really really ticked about it, cuz Gigantor doesn't get his first paycheck for 4 weeks. I can't pay bills the end of this month. And we need to eat still. And AND!!! They want 28 fricken bucks up front for us to go to the company christmas party. I told Gigantor to march his happy ass in there and say very loudly I CAN'T CUZ YOU ARE HOLDING MY PAYCHECK FOR FOUR MOTHER HUMPING WEEKS!!!!!

Okay I'm also pissy at Gigantor. I was complaining about how he always wants to go to sleep instead of get lucky at night. He told me, you can wake me up anytime, I will never say no. So...yeah I woke him up last night, and he got all pissy and told me to leave him alone so he could sleep.

So...yeah I'm grumpy, but now that bastard isn't gonna get it for fricken ever!!!!!!! I'm that pissy right now.

Hope you all had a better tuesday.

happy science fairing.

What?? Huh?? who?? how??

Oh man what a weekend. Some week we are gonna have a truly lazy weekend, not chalked full of shit to do. hahaahahaha yeah right.

It's gonna take us a few weeks to get used to Gigantor being off three days. Wow, it was weird.

Friday lets break down what both of us did.

G--got up and got Kiddo up and made his lunch
me--slept in
G--played a half hour on computer
me--still sleeping
G--went to true value picked up some stuff he needed for the day
me--zzzz
G--went to napa to see if they knew what the noise his truck was making
me--Zzzz
G--went to B&B Repair to ask about the truck noise
me--Snort...ZZZZZ
G--came in and woke me up nice by rubbing my leg (my legs hurt me all the time and if he rubs the lymphadema in the morning it is better all day)
Me--blink blink
G--Let me go get some breakfast/lunch whatever
Me--got up went pee and got dressed
G--went to jack in the box
me--Put a tape in to watch
G--came back sat on the bed with me and ate, we watched the tape.
G--went outside to start putting slats on the fence
me--dinked on the computer
G--came in and fixed the crack in the bathtub, helped me hang up more of that upper case living stuff, rubbed my back.
Kiddo came home from school
Me--got some mail/packages ready to mail
G--mailed them
Then we made dinner and watched a movie.

Saturday
Italic

G--Got kiddo up and started working on the fence
me--snoozing again
G--came in and woke me up again.
me-getting dressed and stuff.
Captain daddy shows up and since we aren't in the living room he's pissed the fuck off, so Gigantor has to chase him down outside. Captain daddy saying some shit as we aren't even fucking up. Gigantor saying "Bullshit we have been working on the fence all morning, and if we want to sleep in on our day off that's our fucking business" Captain daddy stuttering then saying he will come in and say hi to everyone then.
yeah that was tense.

Captain daddy came in and decided to make up for it, and bought us lunch. We watched Kung fu Panda with him cuz he bought it. Gigantor did a bit more fence work. He got 5 and a half sections with all the slats up. I think that's right about half.

Sunday he was a lazy lump. He told me he was gonna do more fence work. Then he ran down to walmart and grabbed some pants that Captain Daddy paid for. Kiddo two pair and him two pair, then he came home and put the roast in the crock pot. Then he did NOTHING. He went and helped uncle for 15 minutes, but then nothing. I asked him, I said " so you just sorta petered out or what?" he just shrugged.

I think it was way to weird for him to have three days in a row off. He might have over done it, and had to rest a bit.

Okay I don't know if it will show up on the actual post, but this dam thing italisized the words, and no matter what I clicked on I could not get it to go back right, so we will see how it shows up when I post this.

Hope you all had a good weekend, and have an even better Monday. hahahaha

A letter day


My friend Libby, gave me a letter to think up 10 things I love about it....She gave me the letter G. so lets see if I can do it. hehehehe

I guess Number one would have to be

1. Gigantor --- I love my Gigantor, he's the best giant in the whole world. I may get mad at him sometimes, but he is one of the rare "good guys" out there.

2. Granola--I like granola bars, and I wish I could find loose granola to put on my yogurt and stuff, it's nummy.

3. Green-- I love the color green. All shades of it. Light to darkest, mixed with yellow or blue. Love them all

4. Grand Canyon--OoOO I love the grand canyon, I love living in the grand canyon state.

5. Glen Canyon Dam--Where my dad and hubby both work. It's pretty awesome, I used to go and walk through it at least once a week. Now it's guided tours, and only once a day.

6. Grapes--I love grape soda, sorta like grape juice. Sorta like grapes to eat, but love them in salads.

7. Giggles--I love when my kid and other kids get the giggles, but a good old giggle fit myself does me wonders.

8. Gizmo--I always wanted one for my very own. I loved the Gremlins movie, and Gizmo is my favorite.

9. Grease--I love the grease musicals. Both of them. But hell I love musicals in general, but both of those are pretty fun.

10. Ghost Hunters--that is like my favoritest show now a days. Might be something different in a few years, but that's it for now.

Okay that's 10, I probably could have gone on with a few more. Like Growth and Grief, yes even grief--without the steps of it, I wouldn't be able to function.

So....thanks Libby, G is not easy, had to think about that one. hehehehehe

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Hump Day....already???

Oh man it's hard to believe it's Wednesday already. It felt really weird, cuz Kiddo was off school past 4 days, and Gigantor was home yesterday.

He's never had veterans day off. EVER. We got up and took him up to the park, so he could line up with the VFW for the parade. He was color guard, so carried a gun on the right hand side of the american flag.

It was touching, cuz as the veterans came walking down the street, some lady started screaming thank you and thank you so much at them, then the whole crowd went wild, clapping and screaming thank you and god bless you. It was very touching. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking of it now.

Every veterans day parade here we have a float that is dedicated to the Navajo Code Talkers. Being that we live 1/2 mile from the reservation and this town is probably 50 to 60% navajo anyway. Every year they would have a float, with some code talkers on it.

It was kinda sad, this year it was a float, with pictures of the code talkers and mostly their daughters holding up the pictures. I'm really not sure if any are living anymore, but if they are, they sure are getting up there. God bless all of them too.

Some guy did up his truck and trailer with poster boards all over it. On each one was the branch of service and name of anyone one in this community that has and still is serving for our country. That was very very nice.

After the parade we got some lunch and watched a movie off the halmark channel, so we ended up crying. uggghhh. Then we went and delivered my avon and books and ran to the store.

Gigantor had a good time his first day of work on Monday. He thinks he is going to like it there alot. They told him if he is on time, works hard, does what he's supposed to (which is just how Gigantor is anyway) That they could see him making 30 dollars or more an hour within 5 or 6 years. OMG that would be so dam nice.

This morning, I was in the bathroom getting ready to get dressed, and kiddo was out here eating his cereal, when he comes in hollaring. I CUT MYSELF, OH MY GOD I CUT MYSELF.

I'm like what?? How can you cut yourself eating cereal?? He shows me his hand and his finger is bleeding pretty dam bad. We wash it out, and put pressure on it, and I couldn't find any dam fingertip band aids. Come to think of it, I could barely find any band aids, so Gigantor was in trouble (it's his job to keep stock of that, him being the E.M.T. and all) So...I end up putting medicine and a couple bandages on it, just to get it covered and hope they stay on.

I then go, how the hell could you cut yourself eating cereal??

Well my son has a habit of putting his hands between the cushions of the couch, and he said he did that and he found a knife. I'm like A KNIFE???

me--like a kitchen knife from dinner last night (thinking Gigantor dropped his)

kiddo--No it's a camoflage knife.

me--how the hell did a camo knife get in the couch?? Like a pocket knife?

kiddo--no it's a big camo knife.

I was trying to think if Gigantor went hiking or anything with his bowie knife on him and it could have fallen. I was fuming pissed. I got kiddo to bring me the knife.

I can't be mad at Gigantor. it's a very large, very sharp, marine corps pocket knife. Which means it's my dads. He sits in that spot and opens his packages that come in the mail. This makes about the 4th time he has forgotten his knife is open and loses it. He sets it on his lap while he's going through the packages. Every other time, he has stood up and it's fallen on the floor, and he realizes he has forgotten it.

I'm a little ticked it was in the couch and cut my son. I'm even more worried, that he keeps forgetting stuff like that. I don't even know how to approach him about all of this. Stubborn old fool. I'm gonna have to think a day or two on it, and try.

Wish me luck. hahahahaha

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Dam I was longwinded today. hahahahaha

Monday, November 10, 2008

Monday---What????

OMG that picture cracks me the hell up. Makes you wonder who threw the toy out there.

Anyhow, we had a busy weekend. I got my avon in on Friday, so we did that all up and got it ready.

Saturday, Gigantor got up and did some dishes, while I slept in a tiny bit. I got up, and we went and got the nephew, and made some lunch. We ate some lunch and watched a program we recorded. Then we had to go...we went to the matinee. Watched Madagascar 2. Oh my gosh it was so dang funny!!!!

After the movie we went down to the grocery store and did a bit of shopping.

Came home and made biscuits and gravy for dinner and watched Journey to the Center of the Earth.

That was a pretty good movie too.

Sunday Gigantor and Kiddo and the Nephew went up to the middle school. They played some wall ball. Played with the Foxtail. And played some football. Came home and got me up, then Gigantor took nephew home and went to pick us up a bit of lunch. Captain Daddy showed up and acted grumpy.

We ate lunch and Gigantor ran down to walmart cuz we were out of bird food, and running out of stuff for lunches. Captain Daddy finally left. And I got the house to warm and fell asleep on the couch. Couldn't wake myself up for nothing. hehehehe

Gigantor came home and should have woke me up, but he let me sleep. I woke up and it was almost dinner time. Gigantor was preping it.

So...we watched Get Smart and Speed Racer with dinner. Both of those were pretty good. I like Speed Racer more than I thought I would.

And now today. Kiddo has today and tomorrow off of school. So...Skinny K is over today playing with Kiddo. Captain daddy showed up again. And Gigantor is working on his first day at the Dam. So far so good. hehehehehe

Me...I need another nap. hahahahaha

Okay that was a boring as hell weekend, so I'm gonna go finish being boring. hehehehe

Have a good Monday everyone!!!

Happy Veterans Day if I don't make it back on tomorrow!!!!!

Random Bull Sheeeee iiiiiiittttt

Well I'm random today, so what else is new??

My butt feels a bit better. Although last night in the dark, we are in bed, and gigantor grabs a flashlight, and rolls me on my side. I say what the hell, and he told me he had to check my butt bruise. So he checked it, then started poking the bruise. The BRAT!!!

We have lost a netflix movie. We got one last night, and have looked all over the house, and in all the trash cans, can not find the dam movie. I'm so pissed off.

Visited with Captain Daddy today. He gave me 50 bucks to get kiddo some pants, because.

Got a phone call from kiddo asking about pants, cuz apparently he ripped the crotch of the one's he was wearing. He said not bad, so I made him suffer the day with them.

I had started reading Twilight to Kiddo before the movie comes out. I read over 50 pages, and my throat hurt so bad. So...today I had him and Gigantor go to the library and get it on audio book.

Saturday the nephew is coming over to play then we are taking the boys to the matinee to see Madagascar 2.

Kiddo has a 4 day weekend. They are off on Tuesday for veterans day, and the teachers are taking Monday as a rest day for them. So....he gets Sat, Sun, Mon and Tues off. That will be nice.

Gigantor starts his new job on Monday. whooooohooooo

Okay I'm off to tear up more of this house looking for that dam movie.

Have a good Friday everyone!!!!

My ASS!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh my godddddddddddddd my ass hurts!!! It feels like a golf ball is stuck in my ass!!!!

Now let me explain before you hork your coffee all over your computer.

It's not what you think.

My husband took me and Captain Daddy to vote yesterday. When the dado unit goes, I end up sitting in the back. Which is very uncomfortable for me. Specially since my legs have been so sore and acting up lately.

I use a cane going in and out of the house, cuz the husband hasn't built steps or a hand rail yet (they are bricks stacked up) And I use it when I walk any kind of length, cuz I'm so unstable on my legs. If it's a short walk, I just use hubby's arm.

So...I struggled to get in the back, and to get out. Used the cane to go in and vote. I was the first one done out of us three, and I went back outside. Unlocked the suburban, put my cane in, sorta tossed it to the other side. Grabbed hold of the "oh shit" bars, and helped myself up, and struggled to get in the back seat.

When I sat down, I guess the cane didn't make it over far enough, and I sat on the it. On the top end of it, the curvy part, that was stuck up in the air. Right on my right butt cheek.

It hurt really bad, brought tears to my eyes. But it was okay.

Later that night when I was sitting in the couch, it felt like when your couch breaks down and a piece of wood is poking you. Well I was getting mad, cuz I've been yelling at the husband, son and his friends for flopping in that part of the couch, so I thought they broke my seat, ya know.

Well I sat forward so I could get up and the pain was sharp. I was like "What the hell???"

When I went to bed it really hurt. Had Gigantor look at my right butt cheek. From sitting on that dam cane, I have a big old bruise, and it feels like I have a golf ball in my butt cheek. Very uncomfortable to sit. grrrrrrr

So...when I felt like some of us got screwed up the ass with some of the voting decisions (couple propositions here that were just assnine passed) I didn't know I would really feel pain in my ass for a few days. hahahahahaha

Okay I hope you all have a better Wednesday. Hope your asses aren't to sore.

Tuesday, November 04, 2008

Halloween Photo's

Well we had a blast on halloween. We went to my aunt and uncles and Kiddo got done up in a very scary mask, with black clothes and gloves on. He scared the crap out of a bunch of kids, and even a few adults.

I told him he couldn't scare the real tiny kids, so he was doing funny dances and pretending to be scared of princesses. But his mask was just so freaky it didn't matter, he scared the beejeebees out of people.

Gigantor and the uncle strung up a rubber spider in the tree. In the part that was right over the sidewalk, then they ran fishing line to the chair where uncle could control it. As people walked and were looking at kiddo a bit scared, he was dropping the spider on them.

OMG it was the funniest thing. The adults were more scared of the spider than the kids. We had a great time.

Then aunt had made up about 30 elk taco's. homemade taco shells and all, and she made some home made spanish rice and home made salsa. After we were all done laughing our butts off, we ate and ate.

Usually Halloween is the turning point here, and it's dang cold, but it was warm, I wore a t-shirt and didn't even need a coat. Kiddo was hot in his costume.

I'll have to update you all on the weekend next post, this one is gonna be long enough.


Getting Kiddo ready. You can see my arm and one of the bowls of candy. He looked so dang scary and my kid really isn't like that. It was fun though.

We were armed with both of these bowls heaping full, had another bowl inside, and about 8 more bags of candy. Usually there on elm street, there are so many kids you can't keep enough candy, but this year it was really slow. I got to where I was handing out big handfulls of the stuff towards the end. And we still have a few bags left over.
Kiddo did alot of leaning against the tree like this. Lots of people didn't know if he was real or not. Some police, the ambulance, and other locals drove by and gave him a double and tripple take. I've never seen another mask like this one out there, he sure was creepy looking.
Seee!!! The cute little pink puppy would not take her eyes off Kiddo, she knew he was gonna eat her up if she did. We had a hard time getting her to come closer and get her candy, she was scared of him. It was adorable.
Kiddo was laying down next to the tree, and that mom was trying to get her kids to touch him. (there was 3 moms, three dads, and about 7 kids in that group) Well the mom kept trying and kept trying and her kids were refusing. So...the mom goes, look I will touch him and he won't move cuz he's a statue. (she wanted kiddo to play along so he could scare the kids when they touched him) But she gets close, kneels down and touches him, and Kiddo throws his arms in her face like to grab her and screams RAAAARRRR. OMG that mom jumped so hard, everyone laughed so loud.

In this picture she was helping kiddo up, she wanted a picture of her and the kids with him. So...they line up for picture and Kiddo is giving her bunny ears. It was so funny.

As they were walking away, uncle dropped the spider in that mom's face, and she screamed like a little girl. We laughed and laughed, it was great. Her husband probably laughed the loudest. hahahahaha

Hope you all had a good Halloween. I'm gonna go shower and go to bed.

Happy Halloween


A very Happy Halloween to you all!!!!

I think it's a fun day. I love seeing the kids in their costumes.

This year, we aren't going trick or treating. Kiddo thinks he's to old for it. Instead we are going to my aunt and uncles. We don't get any kids over where we live. They live on Elm Street which is swamped each year. So...Kiddo wanted to dress up scary and pass out candy. That's what we are going to do over there.

I had thought I would buy us and aunt and uncle dinner, seeing as they were letting us hijack their house. But uncle said he was going to make some elk taco's. whooohoooo bonus!!!

The sky is filled with balloons this morning. It's the balloon regatta this weekend. Tomorrow I'm sure Gigantor and Kiddo are going to go out early and help people with their launches. They have done that before and ended up getting free rides. It's pretty cool, and they have tons of fun.

Then the street fair starts at 4 tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping Big Johns Texas BBQ booth is up here. He smokes all his meat, it's soooo yummie. And at about 6, they close down main street and let the balloon people come set up. Right at about dark they start blowing up their balloons, and till 9 they do the "balloon glow"

You can walk up and down main street and talk to them. They let kids climb in the baskets, and pull the fire thingie, some of them have trading cards. Just a fun time all around. After the glow is over it's like freezing out. You wouldn't think so much of it, but with the glow, all that gas/fire going off, the entire main street gets warmed up. Then they stop and the cold bites right into you.

Anyhow that is our plans for tonight and tomorrow. Oh and I can't forget to record all night on Sci Fi channel. Ghost Hunters halloween special is on. whoooohooooo I love the ghost hunters.

anyhow....have a wonderful and safe Halloween, and have a good weekend everyone!!!!

Humpity Hump Day


I know this picture isn't this good, but I got my nails done today. Thanksgiving nails. They are goldish, maroon, and dark green all metallic looking. Some are in criss crosses, some done as leaves and a couple flowers.

Not much has been going on. Nobody has been doing anything aweful to the kid. Gigantor has been fine at work and with his co workers. I've not done anything but go get my nails done. hehehehe

So.....I'll leave you with a halloween goodie, and a yummie meatloaf recipe.

This is the snarkiest skeleton that cuts you down, it's so dang funny. Go here for halloween fun.

We've made twice now this yummy bbq meatloaf. Try it it's good, it's even better in sandwiches a day or two later. hehehhee

2lb ground beef or turkey
1 cup favorite bbq sauce
1 onion finely diced
1 red (or yellow or orange) bell pepper finely diced
2 cloves garlic finely diced
1 to 2 tables spoons warchester sauce (however you spell it)
1 large egg
2 cups bread crumbs
favorite seasonings

Saute up onion and pepper and garlic and set aside to cool a bit.

In bowl mix bbq sauce, Warchester sauce, egg, and seasonings. When well mixed add onion mixture and stir.

In another bowl have ground burger ready and add bbq mix on top, stir with hands. Add in bread crumbs one cup at a time, to get the texture you desire.

Form in loaf on baking sheet, or press into a pyrex baking dish (that's how we do it, we don't do it loaf shaped) Put in 350 degree oven for about an hour. 10 minutes from being done, but a little bit of bbq sauce on the top for a glaze.

It is so dang good people, and my son who REFUSES to eat those type of veggies, just loves it.

Anywhooo....go...enjoy your Wednesday!!!

Monday *insert groan here*

Well....thank god we weren't as busy on Sunday as Saturday. We put a movie in Saturday night, at bedtime. Thought we would watch about a half hour of it, turn it off and go to bed.

Yup....we watched the entire 2 1/2 hour movie. hahahaahaha We then slept in a bit. Gigantor slept till 10:30 I couldn't believe it. In the 15 1/2 years being married to him, I think he's slept that late once and it's cuz we got home from the hospital at 5 in the morning after being up all night with our son. So, yeah that was bizare.

But he has been hurting (hurt his leg) and so tired, I just let him sleep.

We picked up a couple things, went to the store, and watched a tape we recorded and a movie with dinner. We were lazy for the day. He deserved it though.

We are waiting till the end of the day to see what happened with that kid at school. I was told if he had another strike against him he was going to the "trailers"

Let me explain that. There are some moveable "trailers" out behind the middle school and high school. They are the worst of the worst disciplinary cases. I mean you have to screw up bad and alot of it to go there. What happens is you are UN ENROLLED from middle school. And re enrolled in a disiplinary kind of school (still through the public school disctrict) But you have an entire different file, and I think the police dept is informed on who is in them and the parents.

They have specific teachers and counselors, and CPS is called in. It's like one step above a juvenile detention place.

We were told if this kid had one more referal he was going into the "trailers". Can you imagine screwing up so bad in less than the first 9 weeks of school?? And you know his parents have been notified over and over again.

I told Gigantor that I didn't get that shit, because if I was called once, let alone twice....My kid would be so punished and not able to sit for a very long time. And he WOULD straighten his shit up. But it's apparent some of today's parents don't give a shit, might even be proud to have a "bad" kid.

So...just waiting till the end of the day to find out if he was sent there or not. I do know that Kiddo seemed "lighter" after talking to us and his teachers about it. I hope it helped him.

Alrighty I'm off to read you all.

Have a good Monday *insert groan here* everyone!!!!

Man I'm Tired


Man I am tired today. We have had a very busy few days.

We went to parent teacher conferences on Thursday. Kiddo is doing really well. Except every single teacher said the same thing, in the past couple weeks, his grades have dropped and he comes to class very withdrawn and trying to make himself as small as possible.

That was a big red flag, so we all decided that something has to be bugging him, and making him act that way. Upon questioning later he finally told us.

I guess there is a kid at school, that keeps calling him, please god excuse my language, calling him a "faggot" a "effing N*gg*r" And then this kid is going around calling his friends and family "Effing Jews" "Useless Jews" "Disgusting Jews" and they all should be dead.

Well if anyone knows my kid they know how sensitive he is, and he hates when someone does that not only to him but to others he loves or likes.

I had a talk with the school. I mean kids can find the "N" word anywhere, but to talk that kind of hate about a religion (which we aren't even jewish) that is a taught kind of hate, and a not right kind of thing.

So...that was the end of our week.

Gigantor did end up working today, to make life easier on a bunch of his coworkers that the boss was punishing because he wouldn't work. He came home and we were going out to do all we planned. When the "boss" tracked him down made him go back out for about an hour. We were in the dam suburban so ended up sitting and waiting for him.

Then we delivered some avon, went up to the fall festival and got funnel cakes, cotton candy for the kid, and cinnamon roasted pecans, cashews and almonds. We went a few more places delivering avon books, and were supposed to go to two grocery stores. But we were so dam tired and it was almost 5 in the evening, we scrubbed it and came home.

We ate one piece of chicken, we were to dam full from the funnel cakes. And we fell asleep on the couch. Now I'm up dinking around till I can get the kid to sleep. I guess we are going grocery shopping tomorrow. ugggghhhhh

Well I think I'm gonna go have a cup of hot tea and go to bed.

Hope you all have a good rest of the weekend.
