Blogs worth reading

Hey all....I thought I would do a little something different this post. Lately I have found some new blogs. Some from serfing, and some from clicking on other peoples comments. I haven't linked them yet, but I think they are all worth a read. Go check them out.

Vicki over at Daily Haps II --- she took up blogging after her sister who bloged fell victim to that awful cancer stuff. It's about her trials and she tries to help raise her sisters kids. Check her out.

Next is UnMartha --- her adventures with food just crack me up. Like reading about how her strawberry pie, became soup. Or how her mother in law said she served "abortion" for desert.

Now miss Ella --who lives in New South Wales and loves Prison Break almost as much as me. She just started her blog, so give her a holler.

And we can't forget Jess at Twenty Somthings ---when I first read her, she was yelling at her evil twin. She keeps me in stitches. I'm sure you will find her just as snarky as me. hehehehee

We can't by pass The Lemonade Diaries --- Maybe even more snarky or smart assy than me. (Is that possible?) I've found her to be very refreshing, like a nice spring acid rain. hehehehee (I say that with the most love possible)

And last but not least we have Don't Know how You do it --- and every day mom, (maybe more than normal) who is blogging about life with the kids. (always entertainment there)

Now everyone go check them out. I mean it, go, now. Don't make me come find you and drag you by your nose hairs!!!!

Happy Humpity Hump Day to all!!!!

Innocent Eye Flutters

Well...things aren't near as crappy. Just life I guess, sometimes you fly on clouds, sometimes you wade through the shit swamps. If I had a choice I would bounce on a trampoline through life. hehehehehee

Well...update on my stupid printer ink. Go to the office supply store that had to order it, and WHAT IN THE SAM HELL?????????? The place is emptied out. They closed their doors. How the hell am I supposed to get ink now without going on the internet and using my credit card???? How the hell does not one single computer supply place or walmart have ink for my computer. What really pisses me off. Is walmart sells the dam printers but won't supply the mother bunny humping ink!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I'm done ranting today.

Some days Spaghetti O's with meatballs really hit the spot you know?? hehehehe

We went to the reading program at the library today. I try to volunteer each summer I'm here. Last times I volunteered we had between 150 and 200 kids. ahhhhhhh This time the new librarian split the ages up better, and extended it to all summer instead of just 4 weeks, and we only had about 35 kids. Now that I can handle. hehehehe

Not much else going on except trying not to melt in the heat (otter pops are one of the worlds best inventions)

The dogs are still stinking, gerbils still staring, cat still annoying, and birds still chirping. hehehehe

I just got about 20lbs of mail in, so gonna go check all that out. (snail mail not e-mail) Happy Tuesday everyone.

Staring gerbils creep me out.

My gerbils are at it again. Engaging me in staring contests. You know what?? Not only do they creep me out, but they win. hehehehe

I've got just randomness today. Is that a word?? It is now. hehehe

Gigantor officially doesn't work in the steel yard anymore. whooooo fricken hooooo

Our cable was out 6 hours yesterday, and again from 7 in the morning till 6:30 tonight. They said they were doing upgrades. We shall see. It better be so dam clear I think I'm in the show.

Kiddo had to announce to the sales person on the phone that he just "pooted" and had been pooting all day. When he found out it was a sales person and not daddy, at least he was a little embarrassed. (for about 6.3 seconds)

My son runs out of the back room, where he is watching star wars, and farts right next to me. it's been going on all day. I think I'm gonna super glue his butt cheeks together.

I worked for almost an hour typing up one of those stories I've been working on. Almost a fricken hour, then looked up from the paper, and realized I had my fingers one key over to the right. ahhhhhhhhhh grrrrrrrrrrrrr gurgleeeeeee faint!!!

I deleted it all cussing, and put it away, to disgusted to work on it again.

The gerbils are staring at me again. The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up. Wonder if they can swim, cuz I'm about to dump them in the fish tank.

My son is now carrying around the "monkey butt" pillow he got me. He's squeezing it and farting, then telling me it's monkey farts.

Between the dogs, cat, husband, kid and fricken monkey I bet there is a green cloud emanating from this house.

Okay I'm gonna go see if I can find a snippet of chocolate in this house, cuz I'm craving.

Then I'm gonna go hide.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!!

Waiting for the Train

I'm waiting for that train to run us over and send our life crashing down again. Seems everything is going good, way too good for us.

You all know Gigantor got a new job. One we have desperately been needing. He's been needing to get out of his old job for a while now. We were gonna take this new one even though it was a cut in pay, because the benefits were so much better. Plus it would relieve alot of stress on Gigantor. Well...then they offered him same amount of money he's making at his old job. So that was like a major stress reliever.

You also know he was going to take a route that had him driving long drives every day. Well this was a little worry for us. Because he would have to be on the road by 5 every morning even in the winter. And, we know he could do it, but Gigantor isn't the best at long drives over and over. And the resorts would be closed in the winter so it would cut his hours way way back in the winter. We were worrying a little about money but thought that he could get a part time job in the winter. So...we were still doing okay. Also we would have to adjust, cuz with him on the road, he couldn't show up for any of Kiddo's functions anymore. But that is something we would deal with.

Now rewind a couple weeks. There is this guy that works for the company, been there over 15 years. He was going to retire the end of August. Well....all the garbage men here drive way to fast anyway, like they own the road. Sorta ticks us locals off. This guy, John, was doing his pickups, he drives a front loader (so he dumps dumpsters) And he took this corner by the middle school, claims his load shifted and the entire garbage truck tipped over. Gigantor went on the call with the fire dept. Police, investigators, everyone, says there is no way the truck would have tipped over unless he was going way to fast around that corner. These trucks are made to support these loads, plus they have mechanics in them that levels the loads out periodically. Real high tech stuff I guess. Anywhoo....this John, says there is no way he was going to fast. Everyone one, even witnesses say yes he was, way to fast. Which unfortunately, alot of the drivers do. Remember, they own the road. hehehe

So...there is a meeting last night. And all the big bosses were there. District and corporate. And they were going over the accident. And they kept asking John, if there was any way that he might have been going just a tiny bit to fast. They said later that all they wanted was for him to take a little bit of responsibility for what happened. They weren't gonna fire him. So...John stands up, throws his chair, and screams I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING SHIT, YOU CAN SHOVE THIS JOB!!! and he walked out.

So...after meeting, boss walks up to Gigantor and says. There is another guy we are trying to hire, he already has the mine certifications and everything (that Gigantor would have to get to do that long road trip route)And boss says, but I won't offer him that route if you really want it. He says you have a choice of that one or Johns. Johns route is in town. You don't go into work till 6, and if your kid has a function, you go park your truck out on the street in front of the school, and go watch it, you just take the time off you were in there. Also...being that it will be less hours. We want to make you head of building maintenance also. So that you can get all sorts of hours all year long. Rebuilding the fence, and doing maintenance on the buildings, after your route is run.

Okay since all this wonderful stuff is happening, and everything is falling into place for the better. We are seriously waiting for the world to come crashing down. Cuz if any of you keep up with this blog. You know that good luck and fortune just isn't in our cards. hehehehe We are the butt of most of gods and the universes jokes.

I want to jump for joy, but being that we are waiting for things to crash down, I would probably break my leg or something. hehehehe

Keep your fingers, legs, eyes crossed for us. Lets hope this is gonna all turn out good.

Happy Thursday all!!!!!

Just Stuff

I got just stuff today. Not much, just stuff. LOL

Want to say HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY a day late, (although today is the real one)

I got Kiddo signed up for the summer reading program, they are gonna have lots of fun. Even having a little carnival thing on Monday. Then it's once a week, and they are studying animals this summer. That is one of kiddo's big interests. I'm hoping this will help with his reading.

He wants to do swimming lessons again. I'm thinking about it. But to do them and the reading one's I will have to sign him up for really early lessons. See if he's gonna wanna do that.

Gigantor worked for a few hours yesterday at the new job. He is still liking it. Everyday they work him hard, they ask "So...you still want the job" Gigantor says, "Man you don't know what hard work is till you do the job I been doing the past 12 years. Out in all sorts of weather." This is like a dream for Gigantor. Same rate of pay, way way better benefits, and instead of working outside in 120 degree summers or in 18 degree winters, he will be in an air conditioned or heated truck. hehehehee Some people told him the drive will probably get to him, and he'll get real bored. Ummm could you tell me what job isn't repetitive??? All jobs you repeat stuff. So...he will be driving up to the north rim of the grand canyon dumping dumpsters at camp sights on Mondays. Then Tuesdays I think he goes out to the peabody coal mine. Wednesdays are his short days, he does a place called Tonalea, and round trip is only about 3 hours. Thursdays and Fridays he hits more places out on the reservation. So....we both figure that it's what you make of it. He can enjoy the drive and scenery every time, or he can bitch and moan. Anyone who knows my husband knows he doesn't bitch and moan, (unless it's just to me about me) hehehehee

OOOO we watched a few movies. Watched Dr. Doolittle 3. that was real cute. Nice movie to watch with your kids. We watched Just Like Heaven...that was really cute too. No academy award winner, but cute. Then we watched Hostel....can I just say ick. What a messed up movie. At least it had a good revenge ending, but *shudder*

As of that, I don't have anything else to tell or say. Guess I'm gonna go bang my head on the wall or something. Happy Tuesday!!!!

What???

What the hell happened last night??? I stayed up and watched the late episode of ghost hunters. It comes on at 12. I had been amazingly tired all day. I lay down and 1. Nope, sleep isn't gonna happen. What the hell???? Gigantor gets up to let the pacing ass dog out at 4. Sleep still hasn't come. I ask him to make coffee before he leaves cuz god knows I'm gonna need it. I finally fell asleep about 5:52, and my alarm goes off at 6. I hit the snooze till 6:45, but still.

Anyhow, other than my insomnia problems, we have had a couple little things of good news.

Most of you know, that I have struggled with some health problems. And because of some of my health issues, my weight started to balloon out of control, and once it did, it caused more health issues. It was a horrible struggle. Well...as most of you remember I went out to Texas to stay with my sister last summer, to work on some of those, and one of them being the weight issue. Last May I had a checkup, and weighed a certain amount. After the summer was over I had lost 30lbs. (that was a checkup in late August). Well...I had to have my yearly checkup again this month. I was sorta sweating it. Wondering if I had stayed the same or gained. Cuz although I have tried to keep up with all the lifestyle changes, I was having a hard time exercising, because I kept getting hurt. Anwhooooo, I went in to the doc on Monday, and I had lost 35 more pounds. Whooooo fricken hoooooo. So a total of 65 in one year. I know it's not a ton, but at least it's coming off.

Okay now our second good news. Gigantor has worked in a steel yard for the last 12 years. The boss is a major ass. He has cut back the health ins so much, that it doesn't seem worth having. Over the years, he's taken off the vision, the dental, and made it a 2500 dollar deductible. Also he doesn't pay Gigantor the best. And...get this shit. The guys that work there that are of the same church as the boss, well they not only get better pay. But every year they get 2000 bucks that they can invest or whatever. The boss does it in cash, so nobody can come back and say he isn't providing retirement for everyone. Cuz we already checked into suing him for it. Gigantor is one of the best workers out there, and he didn't go to the same church, so he never got the so called "retirement" package.

Anyhow, my hubby has been looking for another job hard for the past year or so. And he went and applied with the garbage people. It's not like it used to be, now everything is with high tech trucks, and you dump it in a building, and it gets trucked out, so you never have to even touch the trash. Anyway, back to the story. Well...they offered him the job. Same rate of pay he's getting now, with raises every year. Full insurance, including vision and dental, 401K, life insurance, and they will pay for his CDL and 100 a year for work boots.

Oh yeah, you dam skippy, we jumped at the job. He will be so much happier there too. No more crap from that ass.

But get this, when he went in and gave his two week notice. The first thing his boss did was tell him "I refuse to let you go over there" And Gigantor told him there was nothing he could do about it, it was for his family. Then the boss started threatening him. Can you believe it? Threatening!!!! So...Gigantor did offer to work part time for the boss, cuz in the winter, the hours will cut down with the waste company. And the boss keeps telling him. "Well I'm crunching number, don't go to work there yet" whatever he offers won't be near as good, or as stress free. Gigantor is convinced that he is trying to make him wait till the garbage place fills the position. What the ass doesn't understand is the position is filled, they just let Gigantor be nice and give his ass of a boss 2 weeks. hehehe Boy next Friday is gonna be so funny when he walks out of there with all his stuff. I would love to be a fly on the wall and see the boss's face hehehehehe

Okay that's all I got. Happy Thursday all.

New Kind of Tag

Instead of the same old quizzes we always see. I seen something a little different. I got it from Mike over at I'm not touching you. And what he did is give a letter, and you have to come up with 10 words that start with that letter, and a brief explanation of what that word means to you in your life.

If anyone would like to do this after. Just leave me a comment and ask me for a letter, and I'll give ya one. I'll try not to give anyone a Q,X, Y, or Z hehehehe

Okay here goes. The letter Mike gave me was the letter O. (ya little shit you, cuz O is sorta hard too. hehehehe)

1. Operation: I've had two major operations in my life, and almost lost my life with both. So...I guess those would both be a big thing in my life. Both of them abdominal oppererations by the way.

2. Office: I worked in an office for over 12 years. I was a bookkeeper/accountant. They fired me, cuz they didn't like independent women. It was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me. I was so negative with life when I worked in that dam office. Now I love every minute of it.

3. Outside: One place I love to be. I love being outside. We often go to the mountain, and the lake. And once we have a better lot, we will spending most evenings outside on the porch. When I owned horses, I spent most my time outside at the corrals or riding my horses. I barely spent any time at home. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. I should be back in the wild west, having to be outside alot.

4. OH MY GOD!!!: something I seem to say alot of. You can catch me saying it at least once a day. And no I don't just say it during sex. hehehee Somebody does some boneheaded thing and I scream OH MY GOD!!! And knowing my family, boneheaded things happen all the dang time.

5. Ogres: Not only can Gigantor be a big ogre. But I love all things fantasy. From playing DnD for years, to reading and watching fantasy. Seems there is ogres somewhere in all fantasy. (not to mention the Orcs in Lord of the rings) hehehehe

6. Othello: A game my mother and I used to play against each other all the time. We would play it on the computer. She used to blame me for cheating on the computer, but that was impossible. hehehehee We got a board game of it, but for some reason it wasn't as fun if we had to turn all the pieces ourselves. Good times

7. Organization: Something I need a hell of a lot more of. hehehehe I'm not a very organized person in some things. Like my house. hehehe But in some things I'm organized to a fault. Organized to a point of being....

8. Obsessive Compulsive: Yes I have a tendency to be a little Obsessive Compulsive. Don't we all though. Mine isn't to the point of having to turn the lights on and off 21 times each time I come through the door, or about washing my hands 54 times a day. But if you don't fold the towels or underwears the right way, I will go all "ogre" on your butt. hehehee You have to stack and do dishes the right way, do laundry the right way, and god help you if you touch my organized pile of chaos that I call my office. hehehehehe

9. Ostrich: You all remember I got attacked by those devil, demon, evil ostriches and emu's this summer. Gigantor is all with us teasing me. They won't hurt you honey, they don't bite, and this little shit (okay he was big) of an ostrich reaches out and pecks the shit out of Gigantor. Now I did laugh at that. They are the devil I tell ya. Flightless birds like penguins are so darn cute. Flightless birds like osrtiches are demons I tell ya!!!!

Lastly, the O word we all know and love!!!

10. Orgasm: Do I really need to say a whole lot about this one??? Even then I'm a very lucky girl and get more than a fair share. You can never have enough. Am I right girls or am I right??? hehehehe

If any of you wanna play along just leave me a comment, and I'll get you a letter. It's fun people, try it. hhehehehehee

Happy Monday all!!!

The Black Hole of Undergarments

Okay, what the hell is going on with all my unmentionables???? Are they begging to be mentioned???

You all know I have the black hole/vortex bra, that just sucks things in at random. Like last night I had crumbs and even a flower petal, in my bra. What the hell????

But I think my bra's have been holding meetings in my underwear drawer. They are converting the masses I tell ya.

My stocking felt weird all day, and when I took it off. I realized I had one of those little plastic army guy guns on the inside of it. Which now did a massive imprint on my leg, and it was sore. How the hell did that little gun get in my underwear drawer and in my stocking none the less???

Oh and the biggest one, was my underwear (panties). I have no idea how this happened. I went to the bathroom mid morning, pulled down my drawers, and out falls a fruit loop. In the name of all that is holy, how the frick did a fruit loop end up in my underwear!!!!!!!!????????????? I mean kiddo had lucky charms for breakfast, and I had a bagel. Come to think of it, we haven't had fruit loops in the house for a couple months. So...how???? How did a fruit loop end up in my underwear???

It's gonna be one of those great mysteries. Like how most the stuff that ends up in my bra gets there. I swear my unmentionables have struck this evil plan to take over the world by sucking it in one fruit loop at a time.

Have a good Thursday everyone, may your days be fruit loop free. hehehehee

Track Meet

The 4th grade here had a track meet yesterday. All the elementary grades have one. So...we went to kiddo's track meet. Outside, in 95 degree weather, at 12:30. uggggghhhhhh

He ran the 50 meter dash, luckily it was the very first event, so after he ran, we watched two more races, then left. hehehehe He by far is not an athletic kid. He doesn't run fast, or catch well, or other things. But...I was proud of him, he kept right up with the pack. He got 6th (which there were only 6 runners in that heat) but he was right next to all the other kids. So...at least he didn't get way passed up. I'm just very proud that he tried, and tried his hardest.

Not much else is going on. The gerbil porn is still in full swing. It's gotten so bad, that sometimes I'm embarrassed to look at them. hehehehe A week and three days till school is out. I'm almost as excited as Kiddo. I like when he's home. I'm a goof that way. I would never survive in one of those countries where school is all year long. hehehehe

Oh my gosh, I have to tell you, for mothers day. My son got me the funniest little thing. He got me this pillow for the couch. It's pink and purple. It says SUPER MONKEY on it, and has a monkeys face on the front. Very cute. But you turn it over and on the back....is the monkeys butt!!!!!! There is a fuzzy little butt on my pillow. All I can say, is thank the heavens it's not a red assed baboon. hehehehe

Okay well I got a kick out of that.

I'm gonna go eat the rest of the last piece of cake sitting here. And then try to be productive. Not sure If I'll make that 2nd one, but I'm gonna try.

Happy Hump Day everyone!!!

The Weekend

Well....we survived the weekend. The party with the little kids was a hit. They bowled good games. I bowled so hard, that I pulled something in my hamstring and a tooshie muscle. But it was fun.

We took all his friends home but one, he came to our house for a while. Then I got busy finishing the stuff for the family bbq. Big J and Kiddo were helping me with balloons. We got one of those little helium tanks from walmart. So blew them up and tied them, and Big J put ribbon on them, and kiddo took them out and taped them up to decorate.

The bbq was nice, good company. Then Big J's parents took him and kiddo to the carnival. At about 11, we were so tired we wanted to go to bed, but Kiddo wasn't home yet. So...called their cell phone and said, either he needs to come home so we can go to bed, or you can keep him all night. About 5 minutes later, they brought him home. hehehehehe I think kiddo was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Sunday was looking like it was gonna be a little tough for me. The first mom's day since mom died. But daddy, Gigantor, and Kiddo spoiled me. It was nice. I got to sleep in, then a nice long shower, where nobody was in there bugging me (which is what usually happens) A leisurely lunch, and watched a movie, the lazed around as the guys all moved Captain Daddy and his hell kitty up to his place finally. Then a nice dinner, and cuddling with the hubby. Who can beat that.

I do have to leave you with something so funny that happened last night.

On Saturday, Big J and Kiddo, when they were taping up balloons decided to tape one each to their foreheads. So they had this helium balloon floating about a foot above their heads. They went that way for about 3 hours or so. Anyhow, when Kiddo gets way over tired he sleepwalks. And he'll talk to you, and seem awake. So...we are sitting in the living room about ready to go to bed. And Kiddo comes marching, I mean marching, out of his bedroom. His little head ducked, little glare on his face, little fists clenched. Like when he's gonna yell at ya about something. So...I thought he was going to come out and tell me that the t.v. was to loud. I look up as he stops in front of me, and go "What bud" and he starts rubbing his forehead, and says. "It's stuck" I go "What's stuck" and he starts rubbing again, and making this motion up from his forehead like he was trying to grab something. Like he was trying to grab a balloon. hehehehee I go "Nothing is stuck to your head bud" and he gets frantic and starts scratching at his head and almost fussing about how he can't get it unstuck. So...not wanting him to hurt himself. I move his hands and rub his head, and go "there mommy got it, not stuck no more" and he smiles this little dreamy smile and goes. "Kay, thanks mom," and goes back to bed. Gigantor follows him to make sure he makes it back in bed. And Gigantor's like "was that bad old balloon stuck to your head" and Kiddo goes. "Yup but mom got it" and drifts back off.

We laughed and laughed about that.

Okay so maybe you had to be there.

Anyhow, have a good Monday everyone!!!

PFFFFFFFFfffffffffffffff..........

PFFFFFFFffffffffff...... that is the sound that is gonna drive me insane. I mean right over the edge, into the deep end of the loony bin.

Now this sound is a slow exhale of air, not the type like a sigh, but a slow blowing noise. This is the noise my father makes, that I'm sure he's not aware of. I mean he does have his grumbling and his sighs, when he seems disgusted. But this is different. He breaths through his mouth anyway, cuz he has pretty much damaged his nose. So...always, and constantly, you hear PFFFFFFFfffffffff.....as he does this little, long, quiet blow. When he's been physically active, or he is pissed off at something he's trying to do it gets worse. Puff puff puff puff loud and repeatedly.

I know I should complain, he's really not bad to live with, but it's like one of those noises that get on your very last nerve, and it's constant.

Oh well... he's almost in his place. Matter of fact. I thought maybe he would move in this weekend, after Kiddo's party on Saturday and everything. We are having a bowling party with a few friends. But then that night we are gonna have a bbq with family and some friends. So...he gets a day of partying. Here is the thing though. Being that we have all that tomorrow. I have to work my ass off today. Getting presents wrapped, getting goodie bags done, cleaning house, going to the store to get the cake and stuff for the bbq, and doing a general prep of things I'm gonna have. (Like cutting up the fruit and veggies, so I'm not scrambling on Sat) Well...dad knows all this. Even mentioned that he wanted to hang out and do it with us. And!!! And....he said he needed help moving him and the kitty up to the house, so it would take some time.

Well...he announces last night at about 9 that he wants to move him and the kitty up to his place today. TODAY!!! I got a little upset. So...later I confronted him. Asked him why today instead of this weekend??? Being that he knew how busy I was gonna be (plus I have avon coming in tonight, so have to pull, write up, total, and call to deliver) And he goes, well your gonna be to dam busy on Sat to help me. And I said, yeah and I'm to dam busy tomorrow too. I'm like dad, can't you help with the busy stuff instead of get mad about it, you knew we were doing all this stuff. And he goes, well what are you doing Sunday?? I said nothing that we are aware of (which he knew already) And he's like. Oh okay Sunday is good then.
Ohhhh how he can give ya headache sometimes. hehehehee

On a side note, I'll be glad to get rid of his little bitch of a cat. This cat will not learn a dam thing. We spray her or punish her and she's still a little shit. She's taken it upon herself, that less than 2 minutes after dad leaves to go do whatever dad does, and I have my back to the living room cuz I'm on the computer. She has been jumping up on the front of the bird cage and knocking it to the ground. I have about 20lbs of bird seed and a bunch of water all over the floor. Not to mention two parakeets that need therapy now. They are poor little nervous wrecks. And it just started happening past few days. I've about knocked her block off, and drenched her with water. For two days she stayed confined to their room. And what does she do a couple minutes ago??? Knock the flippin bird cage over again. Think dad would believe me, if he came home and she was beheaded, if I told him it was an accident?? Yeah I didn't think so either.

Well....have a happy weekend everyone!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDO!!!!!

This post is blue, cuz it's your favorite color. Happy birthday my treasure!!!!!

May 8th, 1996 2:oo a.m. I'm woken up in my uncomfortable hospital bed, cuz my hips hurt. And it doesn't help that Gigantor is snoring on the floor, or that I have a device and gauze shoved up my hoo haa to help induce labor. (supposedly be slightly dilated by 8 in the morning, so they can start the i.v.)

2:30 get up and go pee, cuz my hips hurt so bad, feel a POP and start hurting massive bad. Wake up Gigantor, tell him my water broke.

2:35 nurse confirmes water broke, I'm in full blown labor, half way dilated, 100% effaced.

You know what that means folks??? That means I got NO FUCKING SLEEP!!!!! heehehhee

2:45 yell at nurses that they are all liars, and I do not get to sleep the night away to be in labor the next day.

5:00 a.m. start begging for pain meds. Am told I haven't progressed, say FUCK IT GIVE ME AN EPIDURAL. Told my head nurse, that other nurse is a dumb ass, and I'm almost all the way dilated so I can't have epidural. Beg for pain meds again. Receive a shot, that did nothing but make me tired.

7:00 a.m. mom arrives (I was in a hospital 2 1/2 hours away from our home, cuz I was so high risk)

7:05 start pushing

7:15 tell Gigantor I have to push

7:15 & 1/2 Gigantor runs straight behind nurses desk screaming that I have to push!!

7:16 nurses calm Gigantor down, tell him not to scare them by running at them again, or they might have to call security. hehehe *snicker*

7:18, nurse tells me to push if I want to...I inform her that I have been. hehehehe

7:50 Top O.B. nurse comes in and starts yelling at me to push harder and faster, Kiddo was in trouble, they needed him out NOW!!

7:51 doctor shows up in a flury, didn't even have time to park her broom. (Just kidding I loved my doctor)

7:55 Was pissed my child was in harm. Pushed so hard, broke metal support on stirrup, got calf cramp. Calf cramp so bad, stopped labor pains, sat up in bed, cussing out the entire room.

7:56, couldn't push without my leg supported, just didn't work

7:58 Gigantor and 3 nurses holding calf up, was so strong was pushing them to the floor.

8:10 bad, burning, ripping, God, I'm being torn in half pain. Decided I wasn't playing anymore, Refused with multiple curse words, that was not pushing anymore.

8:10 and 10 seconds, Mom leaned forward, screamed HIS HEAD IS HALFWAY OUT, NOW STOP YOUR SHIT AND PUSH DAMMMMMMIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!! (if anyone knew my mom, she was very introverted, and would never ever do something like that, she stood in the background.)

8:10 and 11 seconds, pushed and screamed hard enough, I could have birthed an Abrams tank.

8:16 Kiddo all the way out, with cord around neck. Not blue yet, because I moved so fast doctor said.

8:16 and 2 seconds Kiddo put up on my stomach and doctor yelling at nurses not to take him, it was our miracle, we got the first few minutes.

8:16 and 3 seconds kiddo stopped crying and just looked at me and Gigantor as we cried all the tears of joy, that all the months, years of heartache brought us.

That ladies and gentleman was the best experience of my life. It was so important to me and Gigantor, that 10 years later, we remember ever pain, every joy, every single detail down to the second. I could tell you when I drank and what I drank, what I ate. My mother, who wanted to be there, but didn't want to intrude on our happiness. I remember her backing into a corner after he came out. So... quiet, just watching. Gigantor walking Kiddo over to her to put him in her arms. Her say, oh no no no no you guy, it's all for you. Gigantor sorta dumping kiddo in her arms and walking off. I remember her going to a corner, and crying and cooing to him, then telling him how very much he has been wanted, and how loved he would be. I sit here typing this, bawling my eyes out, for I miss her so.

I remember Alekx and captain Daddy finally showing up. (they had to drive almost 7 hours) I remember everyone wanting Captain daddy, to go see the baby as he came in. And him saying---I can't go see the baby, till I go check on MY BABY and him marching to my room. I think it's one of the three time's I've ever seen my dad cry. That time in joy, and when his mom and my mom died, in sadness.

I am so blessed, no matter what struggles we may go through with Kiddo, he is an amazing gift, that I will treasure for all time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Wore the Wrong Boots for This

Gosh, somedays don't you feel you are trudging through a shit swamp??? hehehehehe
That's how it's been for a while now. And let me tell ya it stinks. LOL
Just a little updating. My wonderful son *said with clenched teeth* got a letter (not a note) but a letter sent home from his teacher. Seems, he isn't doing what he's supposed to in class. He isn't doing his work, he isn't asking for certain things he is supposed to bring home. He is refusing to do his writing assignments when he has 2 hours to work on them. He is turning in blank pages. And he is refusing to answer questions asked directly to him, which is really disrespectful. She has said, that next little incident, he goes to the stop room. (which is the severest punishment, save suspension). I'm ready to knock his fricken block off. I swear to all that is holy, we have talked and threatened, and taken stuff away, till we are exhausted. I'm at such a loss.
On a good note...I have a side job. You all know I sell Avon. Well it hasn't been the most, shall we say, profitable thing to be doing lately. So...our friend D. Who we have played DnD with, and he did tons of DnD campaigns when he was younger. He draws, and writes his ideas down. I have pushed him for years to get his "monsters" published. I didn't know it, but he has written a ton of short stories. He asked me if he could hire me to type them up and print them out. He said he would hire me for 8 bucks an hour. I thought that was pretty good. Well...I got a folder with 5 of his stories in it. He said each was only 14 pages long. Well..he has an introduction, and then 14 pages of front and back hand written. So...about 29 to 30 pages long in reality. And...he is the worst speller, has horrible hand writing, doesn't punctuate, and isn't very descriptive. So...guess who has been fixing and embellishing all his stories?? ugggghhh my head hurts. hehehehehe

Okay on that note. We are going to experiment with dinner tonight, I'll let you all know how it turned out. But I did want to leave you with a new recipe we got and tried the other night. It rocks!!!! So....goood!!!!!!!!!! (we doubled the recipe, cuz it wasn't enough, I will write what we did)

Honey Nut Chicken

6 oz honey roasted nuts (we did cashews)
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
3 eggs
a splash of milk or half and half
1/3 cup flour
3 tablespoons veg oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast (use your fav chicken people

Preheat oven to 350 F

Put nuts, bread crumbs and grill seasoning in food processor and pulse to combine, pour into plate or pie plate.

Beat eggs and milk, pour into plate or pie plate.

Put flour on plate.

Dust both sides of chicken with flour. Dip the chicken into the egg, and then coat with nutty breading.

Heat nonstick skillet, put oil in it to coat bottom. Brown chicken pieces about 3 to 4 minutes each side, until golden and crispy looking. Transfer chicken to baking dish and cook in oven till juices run clear and they are cooked through. About 15 minutes.

Hope you all try it, it rocked!!! We served with bbq succotash.
That is red bell pepper, and onion slightly sauted, then add can of black beans drained and rinsed, then frozen corn, once corn is heated add a little bbq sauce to coat. That rocked too. It had how much of each thing to add, but like my family likes onions more than peppers. So we did how ever much we wanted.

Have a good Thursday everyone. And someone please volunteer to come straighten my child out. hehehehee

Hell Cat

Well the wind has basically stopped blowing, and now it's warming up. Been about 79 or 80 here. SoOoooOO beautiful!!! My cough is pretty much gone away. It's still hanging on. I feel good except for the stupid cough, so I'm just struggling with that. Taking alot of sugar free robitussin cough syrup.

My fathers cat, is the cat from hell, let me tell ya. What a little shit she is. I finally pulled out the flippin spray bottle. Here is her daily routine. Wake up, come out of Captain Daddy's room, and find my cat. Then she torments my cat, by attacking him and hissing at him, and there is always a cat fight each morning. So...he goes outside (my cat). And every time he tries to come back inside during the day she jumps on him, and acts all shitty so he runs back outside. Then she decides she needs to attack one of the dogs. Every time he moves in the house. She has taken it upon herself to make sure everything on the table is on the floor every day. One corner of the table is my little office area for my Avon. So...I have to pick everything up a couple times a day. She has decided that all my house plants are her buffet, and all the dirt should be on the floor. I have two plants that are non existent anymore, they are eaten down to stubs. She keeps getting on the counter attacking the gerbil cage. We take her down each time, cuz she knocked over my favorite, very expensive vase that was holding my anniversary flowers. Then she goes and attacks the bird cage. She has knocked it off it's shelf twice, poor birdies. But she is pouncing at it at least 10 times a day. So...we are up down, up, down, up, down, getting this cat away from shit, and fixing things every fricken day. And here is the real kicker, that finally got my goat. She keeps going and scratching the shit out of my new couch and loveseat. My new "Suede" couch and love seat. And she just stares at us and keeps doing it, as we yell, and won't stop till we come over and almost touch her, then she runs off. This morning she had done all of these about 20 times, and it's only 9:30. So I marched my happy bubble butt into the bathroom, and got the water squirt bottle, and filled it up. She was at the bird cage and I hosed her down, she didn't like that to much, she tried the couch and I got her between the eyes. Now she is glaring at my back, sharpening her claws and plotting her next move.

I love all animals, but I would have spanked the shit out of this young cat already if she were mine, and she would know what she could and couldn't do around here. Hard with Captain Daddy here, he even gets upset when we yell at her for scratching the couch. So....he went out and about, and that's when I armed myself. LOL She's gonna get the hint, let me tell ya.

Okay all I'm off to switch laundry and get a turkey breast in the oven soon.

Have a good Thursday!!!

Sooooooooo Yummie

Well...the wind is still blowing. And yes it SUCKS ASS!!!!! I still have that horrible cough. I feel great except that stupid cough. It kept me up for three hours last night, and that's after taking decongestant, and cough medicine. So...I can't tell if I'm just "draggin ass" tired or if I'm "bite your head off" tired. Guess the day will tell.

On that lovely note, I wanted to share a very easy very yummie recipe with ya all. I got this low carb cook book. Everything in this book is very low carb, and low fat, and low calories. It does a break down on each recipe, and it's amazing how "not bad for you" all of them are. We have made this one many times, and love it!!!!!

PEPPERONI PIZZA SOUP

1 tablespoon oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
(we love onions and mushrooms so we do about 1 1/2 cup of both, and 1/2 cup yellow bell peppers, this is an easy recipe, tweek it to your liking)
1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1 cup water
3 ounces sliced pepperoni (we have used canadian bacon also, again whatever you like)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (we leave this out, cuz the only pizza sauce this stupid little town sells is way way seasoned so it has enough)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

2. Stir in pizza sauce, broth, water, pepperoni and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Top with cheese and or croutons just before serving.


Okay I'm off to cough on somebody. Have a good Tuesday everyone!!!
This really helps if your dieting, and you crave pizza, you can get the pizza craving gone, and it's very satisfying.

Short and Sweet

1. I still have that horrible cough, and I'm having to keep on med and cough med every 4 hours. I may have to bite the bullet and go to the doctor

2. Gigantor did remember our anniversary, I got a card, flowers, and a cake. (?)

3. Nobody else really remembered. Not that I wanted a ton of people too, but his parents, and my best friend and his best friend would have been nice. Captain Daddy remembered, and Alekx gave us happy wishes, after she read it in my blog. hehehehee (caught you sis)

4. I hate the mother fucking wind!!!! (2 weeks straight of wind)

5. Captain Daddy is really ready to get back into his own place. Hopefully the fridge will be fixed by Monday or Tuesday, so he can get in there no later than next weekend.

6. To tell the truth, I'm really ready for Captain Daddy to be in his own place too.

7. Why is it, when you give a man a list of 4 very small things to do over an entire weekend, you will be lucky to only get one of them done???

8. I really really hate the wind!!!!!!

9. These two cats are never gonna get along and not fight. I think my animals will be glad when Captain Daddy's kitty is out of the house.

10. Sugar free and fat free pudding is not bad, but lets face it, it's not good either.

11. Kiddo needed a shoe box for school tomorrow, and I had to call 12, yup 12 people to find a flippin shoe box.

12. Why can't men take garbage out when it's so full it's over flowing??? NoOOOoOo they have to stack shit higher and higher, and even next to the flippin trash can!!!!

13. If your in a staring match with a gerbil, the gerbil will always win

14. I'm actually very glad that there is only one month of school left.

15. I really really really hate the mother bunny humping wind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good Monday all!!!

Coughs and Vomit

Well....I don't feel like dirty ass anymore. Somewhat like clean ass. I've been taking a bunch of dayquil. And I'm feeling somewhat better, just a little stuffy and still a cough. I'm thinking maybe it's a head cold, and hopefully I can get it kicked on out.

Last night, kiddo was up at 11. He had projectile vomited all over the floor of his room, the hall way, the bathroom, and finally reached the toilet. So...got him in the shower, and then had to go about cleaning our butts off (actually Gigantor did the cleaning up) Then put him back to bed. I kept him home from school today. The 4th graders are supposed, to go on a river trip tomorrow. So...I wanted to keep him home so that he can go do that tomorrow.

OOoOO also tomorrow is my anniversary. I've gotten nothing for Gigantor. Not a dam thing. I have been sick, and I'm broke so oh well. LOL He better dam well remember me though. hehehehee I say it sorta kiddingly. But he has blown off our anniversary quite a few times. He owes me. hehehehe

Okay I'm gonna go finish my rice cakes with fat free peanut butter. LOL

Have a good Thursday all.

Is Somebody's Ass in my Mouth???

Gad, I feel like ass today. I didn't sleep well Sunday night so I was tired yesterday. Then for some god awful reason I coughed all night last night. So...now I'm way tired, and I feel like ass. My throat hurts. dammit.

In other news. Easter was very nice. Rather quiet and lazy. We watched Narnia, which kiddo got in his basket. And we watched Memoirs of a Geisha, which Captain Daddy got me. Both are excellent movies. We had a great dinner. Prime rib, asparagus, potatoes, pink poofoo, deviled eggs, rolls, and for desert, apple pie ala mode.

We went out to eat breakfast the other day, and my vortex bra must have been working over time. I dropped egg right where it would go in the bra if I wasn't wearing such a high cut shirt. I dropped bacon and hashbrowns there too. Then for some reason the blueberry syrup attacked me. I left that restaurant looking like I had been in a food fight. I had streaks and dots of blueberry syrup all over my light blue shirt. And I had splotches of egg and all my other food right at the dip in your cleavage, on my shirt. Can't dress me up and take me out anywhere. I swear.

Well...I'm gonna go finish my piece of pecan pie and my mug of coffee and I may just go lay back down. Since I feel so assie. LOL not to be mistaken with ausie.

Us Poor Fools

Okay I have decided if God is picking on us, then he is leaving some other poor fools alone. So...everybody should have had a free hall pass card yesterday. I swear...what the hell??? hehehe

Okay so you all know I got the suburban fixed before going to get Captain Daddy. To the tune of 330 bucks. Then just about two weeks ago I got the fuel pump fixed in it to the tune of 356 bucks. Well...Gigantor told me there was some weird noise coming from the back of his truck. But we decided to wait a week or so.

Yesterday, Good Friday, no school, I get to sleep in. I was in heaven thinking I could sleep till 8 or 8:30. Hubby wakes me up at about 6:30, and says, "you have to get up and come tow my truck" I'm like, WTF??? He went to the convenience store on the way to work, and got a sandwich. Came out, and the truck wouldn't start. Cranked but wouldn't turn over. But it can't be fuel pump, cuz we have duel tanks. And the other tank should have worked. Cuz it has a fuel pump in each tank. So...he walked home to get me so I could tow it. We go back down there, and the stupid thing starts. So...we take it uptown to the shop, and he says he's not sure, to drive it and see what happens. Head back home (I'm following him all the time) and the check engine light comes on. Call the guy at shop back, and he says to bring it up, they will scan it. And let us know by noon so we can fix it.

Come home, and my fricken computer crashes. I mean, blue screen of death. Unhook computer, take it to the shop, to find out that my hard drive crashed, and he doesn't know if he can save anything on it. I told him, that I would deal with everything, if he could just get my pictures off it. Last one's of my mom, and her memorial. He said he would try.

Call the guy about fixing Captian Daddy's refrigerator in the travel trailer. Told we have to take the thing out and bring it to him. If it's a sensor, then he probably can replace it, if it's the element, then he isn't sure he can get a replacement, and if he can they are 400 bucks. If it's neither, then a new fridge of that kind is 1500 bucks.

All this happened and we haven't even had breakfast yet. grrrrrrrrrr

Then we decided to go shopping, and kept running into problems at the store. They didn't mark the prime rib roast right, and it took a fricken half hour to get the shit straight. So...we eat a way late lunch. Like 3 in the afternoon. And I realize that I forgot to get my medicine when down town. So...gigantor went and got the meds and the computer.

Now today, I am cooking eggs for dying and to give to the easter bunny to hide. And I am going to make some pecan pies this afternoon. Desert is gonna be Pecan and Apple pie ala mode.

Well...I better go get cookin.

Happy Easter everyone.

And please pray or do spells, or dances to make this awful hex come off of us. hehehehe

The Family that Farts Together....

errrr....Stinks together. I swear we need a gas mask around this house. I have no idea what we ate, but it's one honkin house right now. Every time one of us stands up we fart, in the car-fart, sit down-fart, walk-fart. You can hear farting all over the house. For once it's not the dogs or the cat. They are the one's constantly begging to be let outside, cuz we all are farting so much. I have no idea what it could be. We didn't eat anything unusual, or that normally would give a person gas. But they smell like rotten eggs. Just imagine what it's gonna smell like in here next week, after tons of deviled eggs on easter. hehehehehehe

Okay I have a delima. I was gonna make a ham for easter dinner, as is our tradition. But...I made a ham the first couple days Captain daddy was here, and now the boys keep looking at me going. *insert whinie voice* "But we just had hammmmm" And a turkey is out of the question. We have been turkeyed out. So...I finally made a decision. Gigantor is going to cook up one of his sucullant prime rib roasts. I think I'm gonna make potatoes (with lipton onion mushroom soup mix and a touch of olive oil on them) and asparagus (captain daddy made a special request), deviled eggs, pink poofoo (remember that one), and rolls. But...BUT!!!! I can not for the life of me figure out a desert. Don't say cake, because..*insert another whinie voice* "we just had a cake last weekend" I was thinking of maybe buying a couple frozen pies, and serving it hot with ice cream. ALA MODE hehehehehe Oh oh oh oh oh You all know that apple pie ala mode is the best, and any fruit pie ala mode rocks also. But we went to a little cafe when we scattered mom's ashes and guess what we had. HOT pecan pie ala mode. I can make some pretty killer pecan pies. Maybe I'll make pecan and have an apple, and get some vanilla ice cream. But please give me ideas, in case I flake on that one. hehehehe

Okay does anybody know at what age parakeets will breed. And if they are in captivity parakeets, do you need to build them a nesting box before they breed??? Will I be safe if I don't build them one??? Will they never breed then??? ahhhhhhhh I found out from Captain Daddy, that to tell a parakeets sex. You look at that little piece of skin above their beak, where their noses are. If it's pale, or pink they are a girl. If it's blue, they are a boy. OMG OMG OMG I have one of each. I don't know if I'm up for little baby parakeets. I don't know the first thing about them. But....I don't know if they will ever breed. I'm so fricken lost.

Okay off to mash my taters (and that was literal, not some sexual comment this time.) hehehehehe

Happy Good Friday and a very Happy Happy Easter to all, if I don't talk to you before then!!!!!

Faster than a Speeding Bullet

Finally I am faster than a speeding bullet. Watch me zoom by. See my dust cloud. hehehehehe

I finally did it. I got cable internet. It's pretty expensive here. That's why I hadn't done it yet. But...I had of all things *gag* dial up. And my server was getting worse and worse. I could barely dial in, and I was waiting anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes for pages to load, depending on the graphics of the place. I must be a really dedicated blog reader, to stick with you guys, and spend hours so I can read your blogs. *pat on back* Now I can load them in seconds. hehehehehe

Well...I must say that the vortex bra is back in full swing, or should I say "suxtion" Nothing had fallen prey to my bra in a long long time. Maybe it was cuz it was winter and it would hide. But now that it's warmed up. I'm finding all sorts of interesting objects in there again. I found a mini marshmallow in my bra the other night. I would like to know where the hell it came from, since we don't have any fricken marshmallows in the dam house. Mostly it's just after my food, and crumbs, and the like. (hungry after the winter hibernation I guess) But a flippin marshmallow, I'm still wondering about that one. Wonder if the easter bunny is gonna hide an egg in there. If it tries, I'm sure my bra will suck it and the bunny in, then there will be disappointed children all over. And my bra will be known as the bunny killer. *snork* hehehehe

Okay I'm off to go pee before I leave a puddle.

I just love how fast this posts now. hehehehehe

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Holy Herding Children Batman

It's almost easter. I still have to get to the store. I have done no easter bunny shopping. ahhhhhhhhhh

Today was the city egg hunt. When they do that, they usually advertise, then you go to the sports complex. (has 4 softball fields on it. We also have the youth soccer and football play on it) We took Kiddo, Big J, and his sister, Little Pixie. You show up with a bucket or basket. Figure out which half of which field your child will be on. (split into age groups) And each half (the halfs are fenced off with temporary fence) they have had tons of volunteers, fill plastic eggs and throw them out on the field. In some of the eggs are little tickets for the kids to win bigger prizes. Kiddo has one a big prize 3 times.

So...it usually is start at 9. They have a petting zoo, where the 4-H kids bring out, chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, pigs, and a miniature horse. This year there was no petting zoo. Bummer. Then they also have games that the kids can win and go get a prize. Kiddo and big J got frisbee's and little balls that look like oranges. Little Pixie got a book. Then they also have balloons (which we didn't get this year, cuz the line was about 200 people long) They have firetrucks and ambulances out for everyone to look at. And a few police officers and one of the K-9 officers they do a demonstration with. They have Elmo, winnie the pooh, big bird, mcgruff the crime dog, and the easter bunny, for everyone to see. You can also for a small fee get pictures of your child with the easter bunny. I think I did that the first couple years we took kiddo. Now we don't anymore. At 10 on the dot. They start the egg hunt. So...about 9:50, Gigantor took Little Pixie down to her field for the hunt. Captain Daddy and I took Kiddo and Big J to their field. The hunt seems like it only last about 2.6 minutes. hehehehehe

The boys only got little prizes in their eggs, and Little Pixie got a ticket. So..she went and won a jewelry/key chain making kit. That was cool.

There was a huge crowd and tons of kids, but it was fun. One thing I really liked about this year. Is...they advertised it less than usual. It wasn't in the paper, and only on the radio once. So...all the outlying reservation towns didn't come in this time. I'm not trying to be overly rude. But...at these town functions, most the organizers only do enough stuff for towns people, and a few outlying area's. But when they are advertised really well. We get people from reservation towns, up to 100 miles away. It may sound awful, but they organize for about 5 to 6 hundred children, and then get anywhere from 4 to 6 that show up. But when all the towns from that far away show up, we end up with almost 1000 people or so. Then people miss out on things. Because there is never enough planning, parking, law enforcement, and courtesy for that many people. Their towns run their own activities too, so why they invade ours, sometimes gets a little trying on the nerves. Now something like or summer or fall festivals, I understand tons of people showing up from other towns, and they do prepare for that. But small little city functions, those are the one's that get over crowded.

It's like trick or treating each year. We hear advertisements on the radio about trick or treating on a few days before halloween, in some of the towns, and they then say that only their residents can attend. But they do it on different days, so they all can drive into our town and do it on halloween too. I think that is wrong. It's been that way for years and years, but it's still wrong. That is greedy to me. If you don't have a place to go and do activities, then by all means, drive into a place that has them. But if your town holds them also, and your small little town is now planning them around another towns, so everyone can go to multiple of the same thing. It think that is wrong.

Okay I'm done with my tangent. I'm gonna go..gotta go work on Captain Daddy's trailer some more.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!

The Suburban Gods Hate Me

Well I didn't get the suburban back till the end of the day today. That son of a bitching car. I swear to god. I could buy a new one with all the shit. grrrrrrrrr So....it was the fuel pump, then they had to drop the tank to replace the pump. But in doing that, they have to tear apart a strainer thingie and the in line fuel filter, which they forgot to add those and labor on the quote. So...end result was 356 buckeroonies. Okay so 330 before we went to get Captain Daddy, and now 356 after he is back here. Maybe I need to get a horse again, and just say screw it to the vehicles. But then I'd probably have a thousand dollar vet bill. hehehehe

I'm sure Captain Daddy is ready to be out of the house. He seems a little disgusted when we start our little family tirades. And when we have to punish Kiddo. I know he's somewhat disgusted that his perfect little grandson is doing crap like he's doing. (1/2 hour talk with his teacher about him disrespecting her today) And I know Captain Daddies kitty is ready to be the hell out of here. About the first week she stayed hidden in his room. I let him put the sandbox and food in there. Now she is venturing out. But she is still picking fights with the dogs, and my cat. Only thing now, is instead of my animals backing off. They know she is like here to stay, so when she is pissy, they fight back to put her in her place. We have had to break up a few fights. Usually stop my animals from killing her. Dumb little shit. hehehehe

AND WHEN THE HELL DID EASTER SNEAK UP ON ME?????? I wanted to get Kiddo a movie or two and a bunnie, and a few yummie goodies for his basket. I have the bunny, and Captain Daddy keeps buying videos when they come out. I had to yell at him today not to buy Chronicles of Narnia, cuz I didn't want him ruining my easter gift. He's already ruined two easter or birthday gifts by buying the stuff right away. hehehee So...this Saturday is the city egg hunt and petting zoo. I'll take everyone to that, then I have to get my happy butt to the store and get the stuff for his basket.

Anyhow I'm gonna go beat the dog for being an idiot and slap the husband for being annoying, then I'm going to bed. hehehehe

TheTale of an Ass Clown

My son is a clown, and he is a clown with a bare ass. hehehehe There for an ass clown.

My son is usually very quiet, and rather shy. So...for him to do something goofy or funny or entertaining in front of anyone other than us, is just way way unusual.

So Kiddo and Big J were here playing yesterday. And they are jumping on the trampoline. They must have played on the tramp for about 3 hours yesterday. And Gigantor goes out and sprays them and the tramp down with the hose, then proceeded to water the tree. I was outside just watching the boys, and the neighbors across the street were goofing off also. When my son starting taunting his daddy, cuz he wanted sprayed again. And in midst of jumping, my young, innocent, sweet 9 year old screams "HEY DAD LOOK AT THIS" (which makes all the neighbors look) and he pulled down his pants, and mooned us all!!!! I mean I thought I had time, like till he was a young teenager, before he started showing people all his ASSets. But NoOoOOoOoOo my son is starting early. *sigh* I can just see the phone calls now, when he's a teenager. From his friends parents, girlfriends parents, from the school, the police. ahhhhhhhhhh LOL

Okay and on a side note, went out this morning, and started the suburban, then it died, then tried again, and it goes crank crank crank, but won't catch and turn over. It does the rear rear rear noise, but no catching or turning over. Thank God Captain Daddy was here and drove us to school. Gigantor said he was worried it might be the fuel pump. So...had the mechanic guy come check and he said he thought so too. Had to tow the bitch up to the mechanics, then was told that they would do one more test, but if it is the fuel pump, then they have to drop the entire gas tank to replace it. Told me it would be about $325. *BANGS HEAD ON DESK*

Gigantor and I said, how some people say "when it rains it pours" well with us, "when it rains, it pours buckets of diarrhea on our heads"

That's it for Monday. I'm outa here.

Movie Review, and Busy ness

We went and seen Ice Age 2 The Meltdown today. Excellent movie, very very good. But dam if we weren't packed in that theater like sardines. They were selling tickets so good, that the movie was almost 20 minutes late starting. They packed in there so heavy that they let some kids sit on the floor up front. (joys of small town) I can't wait to get it on video and see it again, and hear all the parts we missed for all the laughing, screaming children. But it was still a fun time. Of course Captain Daddy went with us.

I didn't get a chance to post anything else this week. Cuz to say we were busy, would have been an understatement. Besides getting my son to school, and home and doing homework, and cooking, and cleaning up. This week to get daddy settled in we visited alot of places. 4 times to DMV, 5 trips to the bank, 5 trips to safeway, 8 trips to the post office, 8 trips up to daddies trailer, 1 parent teacher conference, 30 houses to deliver avon books, 4 trips to the gas company, 2 trips to the city, 1 trip to get title notarized, 1 truck sold (mom's), 2 trips to fire dept, and a few other places I can't remember right now. It's been raining on and off here all week. So...as long as it doesn't rain today or tonight, then Gigantor it going to go level daddies trailer tomorrow, then we need to hook up water, sewer, and electric. Then gigantor and I need to help him get it all back in order, and we need to vacuum and clean the thing real good. Then during the week, the gas company is going to come and run line for the gas and hook it up. His trailer runs off of propane, and where he lived he had a big giant propane tank. But our gas company doesn't rent those out, because the entire city is run on propane through the lines. So...they have to come run some line and hook it up to his trailer. So...we thought captain daddy could move back in his place this weekend, but it looks like next weekend is more likely.

We are off to make a major healthy dinner. Biscuits and gravy and eggs and bacon. heheheheh

OoOoo On a side note, Master Clark (the taekwondo teacher) is a dead man. We were going through walmart last night, and I had Gigantor pick up Chicken Little, for me to put in Kiddo's easter basket. Well....Master Clark walks up to say high, and digs in the cart, and goes "what's this" and holds it up. So...of course kiddo saw it, and now we have to let him have it now. I was ready to thunk Master Clark. hehehehehe

Hope you all are having a good weekend.
