Updates, and blogs you should be reading

Man what a busy week this week.

Monday--got my nails done, they are blue and pink with decals that make them look like easter eggs.

Tuesday--I had a good friend from out of town visit for a while. I took care of some crap for Captain Daddy. Picked Kiddo up cuz it was a half day, and we went to our parent teacher conference. Yes...yes...Kiddo is still getting all A's!!!! I'm so proud and excited for him.

Just wanted to update you all. We have a wedding this Saturday. Gigantors niece. And next week we have to go out of town one of the days, and get ready for Easter (guess inlaws are coming over) The week after we have appointments and meetings for special classes with Kiddo at school. I'm hoping the week after that it slows down around here. hehehehe.

Have a good hump day all!!!

Mayonnaise Sandwich

Yup that's what I'm having for breakfast. Not really mayonnaise though. But miracle whip, between two pieces of bread. I know I know not a very good breakfast.

I didn't do good at all reading or keeping up with blogs last week. We were dinking around for spring break all week. Nothing exciting though.

We re arranged the Kiddo's bedroom over the weekend. It's much more open and clean looking now. Now he is just driving me nuts coming out all hours of the night, saying he isn't comfortable yet. Which after the 3rd or 4th time he's up, I end up yelling, that I'm not gonna change his room back in the middle of the night to to just deal with it and go to sleep.

Kiddo got up and got dressed for school at 2:00 a.m. this morning!!!! He was sure it was time to get up. So...then we gotta make sure he gets back in bed, then it takes him forever to fall back asleep. grrrrrrrrrrrr Makes for a grumpy day.

I have a nail appointment today (as long as she can make it in time). And the Kiddo and Gigantor have taekwondo today.

Tomorrow is a half day of school, and we have parent teacher conferences tomorrow. And a friend from out of town is supposed to come visit.

Thursday is a half day also. I'm sure there will be tons more to do during the week. Looks like we are going to have very busy hectic weeks till 2 weeks after Easter.

Okay I'm off to finish my sandwich and have some coffee. Happy Monday all!!!

Nothing

OMG how much more boring can I be?? I have nothing. Spring break is happening, and nothing exciting. Took the kid to play at a friends.
Had lunch with Captain Daddy.
Still babying my back.
Another gerbil died.

Nothing, I really have nothing.

Although my dream about deadly snakes living under my house and coming out and striking at me all the time was rather disturbing. I woke up with my heart beating a million miles a minute.

But...still...nothing.

Have a good rest of the week if I still have nothing.

300 ROCKED!!!!

On Friday we went to the 5 o clock movie and seen 300. Oh my goodness that movie so rocked!!! Like right after we saw it I was ready to see it again!! The boys, Kiddo and Big J, liked it so much, they talked about it the rest of the night and the next day!! I am definatly going to buy that movie when it come out on DVD.

In other news I pulled something in my back. My lower back hurts really really bad. And the flippin chiropractor is gone over spring break!!! The ass!!! So...I'm living off of ibuprophen and a hot pad. Last time I let it go, I ended up not walking and having to call him to my house. I'm praying it doesn't get that bad.

We worked our tails off all weekend. Gigantor took the boys out for a hike and shooting off rockets on Saturday morning. When he got home, we ate something and went outside. Started pulling weeds, and cleaning the yard and porch. Sweeping off about 3 inches worth of sand off the porch. Then we leveled out the whole yard. Stupid dogs dig huge foxholes in it. And I let the boys arrange all my ceramic yard animals and some big pots.

Yesterday, we did mountains of laundry, and swept the floors, and went back outside to work on some more weeds, and Gigantor cleaned up a bunch of old wood and hoses that we had behind the shed. He took put it all in his truck so he can dump it today. We also planted some seed balls that's supposed to make flowers for a butterfly garden and hummingbird garden. Then we scattered some grass seed. See if the dogs can leave it alone long enough to let it grow.

Well...I'm off to get the hotpad. Have a good Monday everyone!!!

Holy Hemorrhaging Eyes Batman

Took Captain Daddy to the eye doctor today. He hasn't been in over 6 years. grrrrrrrrr

Now Captain Daddy is diabetic with high blood pressure, and when he moved up here. He had been going to this major quack where he lived. When he got up here I got him with a good doctor that actually put him in insulin. He's been struggling with blood sugar up in the 300's for at least 3 or 4 years. His blood sugar is now in normal range and he feels much better.

So...we go into the eye doctor, because he lets me know a couple months ago, that he can't see hardly at all even with his glasses.

The eye doctor does many exams, some extensive. What he found is Captain Daddy's pressure is way up in his left eye, like around 30. He also did a field vision test and it looks like Captain Daddy has the starts of glaucoma. He is having him back in two weeks to do a much more extensive test so we can find out for sure, and get the drops that stop the progression of it. When he checked his eyes a second time after dilating them, he said that they were hemorrhaging. ahhhhhhhh LOL

I'm really glad that Captain Daddy moved up here now. I seem to have forced him to get most his health issues worked out with a decent doctor, and now we are getting his eyes worked out, so that he won't go blind real soon like he would without keeping on top of it.

On a side note, we already turned the cooler on. HOT HOT HOT. hehehehee

Hope you all had a good start to the week.

Long Weekend

What a very long weekend it was. I'm almost glad it's the week again. Friday the kids were out of school. Some personal day for the teachers. In the morning I had Kiddo's friend K over, for a couple hours. Then we had lunch, and Big J came over. We then left and went to the early movie---Bridge to Tarabithia. It wasn't what I expected, but it was still very good. You expect lots of fantasy from the previews, but it really doesn't have that much. But still a very good family film.

Saturday we worked up at the other lot again, then got cleaned up and went to the ADA dinner (American Deer Association) Now this association is a non profit thing. They work on donations. Basicly they work on the donations of this one night. All sorts of business men show up to this dinner, they have donated things or services. There are tons of raffles, and silent auctions and even live auctions. We were enjoying ourselves, real good food, (prime rib, green beans, baked potoato, roll, salad, and cake) But these auctions were insane. Local small town business men, that can go drink, use any money spent as a tax write off, and who are showing off in front of their fellow business men.

They had a couple cheesecakes up for auction. Granted the lady if famous around town for making them. But these things went at 175 bucks for one. Not a chance in hell people. The other live auction things were prints, paintings, a couple sculptures, and a set of house plans from my uncle (he's an architect) Some of these prints that you could probably buy for 50 bucks on the internet. Went for 750 or more. It was totally insane.

All we bought was some raffle tickets, that was it. hehehehe

Sunday we didn't do to much. Did mountains of laundry and dishes, and straightened up the house. But we watched a couple movies. Stranger than Fiction with Will Ferrel. My husband said it was good, I actually fell asleep about 15 minutes into it, and woke up about 10 minutes from the end, and that was good for me. Then we watched Rent. I have always loved musicals, but to me, this one was only so so.

Now that I have completely put you to sleep, my work is done, and I'm gonna go eat a brownie. hehehe Have a good Monday all, may it be as warm and beautiful as mine. hehehehe

I haven't posted in a few days, cuz not much to say. Been pretty boring.

Paid bills, grilled steaks, delivered avon, coughed into next week, watched a couple netflix movies. Not much.

Tonight we went to Kiddo's Hunter Safety graduation. He got a special gift for having 100% attendance and being top scores on field day and his final exam. He got a gun club membership for a year. Gives us access to the gun range and discounts at the bait/tackle/gun/ammo store. hehehehe

Gigantor got signed up so he could become an instructor next year.

Tomorrow, not much on the agenda but to make some pasghetti. Then the kid is out of school on Friday. They said the teachers are taking a "Personal day" Whatever. hehehehe

Ejection Seats

Soooo....after Gigantors little flight through the desert. He goes into the Kawasaki store yesterday, and slams his helmet on the counter. (the owners are good people we get along with well) And he demands in his giant voice I WANT A REFUND!!!!

Kawasaki Owner-- A refund, for what?
Gigantor--FOR THAT SILLY ASS BIKE YOU SOLD ME!!
K.O.--Oh my gosh, why, what's wrong with it.
G--SOME DUMB ASS INSTALLED AN EJECTION SEAT WITHOUT TELLING ME!!!

Owner proceeds to fall out of his chair laughing his butt off. Tells Gigantor that all 4 wheelers come standard with that feature, even his. hehehe

Gigantor has to go to a mandatory driving course, for work, out of town on Saturday. He will be gone all day. Saturday if field day for the kiddo's hunter safety course. I just thought I had to take Kiddo, and some lunch out. (captain daddy is coming along) But I find out (purely by accidently over hearing a conversation) That Kiddo is supposed to dress a certain way, and take his gun. I swear to god, I wish that man would have hit his head in the superman imitation. Maybe it would have knocked some sense into him.

On a side note, we watched a couple movies tonight. The Invincible Iron Man---it was cute, good one for the Kiddo. And The Protector with Tony Jaa--That was a pretty good move. 1. yummaliscious guy in it. 2. Lots of action. 3. Very skilled, kick ass martial arts 4. And not to bad of a story line.

Okay I'm going to go cough on someone. Have a good Friday all!!

The Ground hog Needs Glasses

Okay what exactly just happened. Here I was happy, giving Canadian Flake and Miranda a hard time about all the cold weather they had. While I was sitting pretty here in Arizona with close to 80 degree weather. Well....the wind blew a good 50mph plus yesterday. Then all of a sudden in the evening it stopped. About an hour later it started snowing!!!! It snowed till about 9 this morning. We have fricken 4 inches of snow on the ground. That flippen groundhog needs glasses, and mother nature can be one vindictive bitch. hehehehehe

On a side note, we had Captain daddy over for dinner last night. We were experimenting with a dish. It came out soooooooooooooo good. So...I thought I would give ya the recipe.

It's called MEXICAN LASAGNA

12 corn tortilla's cut into strips (approximate)
3 cups cooked chicken
1 cup diced onion
1 cup frozen corn thawed
1 can diced green chilies
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa
1 1/2 cups cheese
(whatever seasoning you want)

In bowl combine chicken, onion, corn, chilies, sour cream, salsa, and cheese.

Spray 9X13 baking dish, lay out tortilla strips. Spoon one half of chicken mixture. Put another layer of tortilla strips. Spoon rest of chicken mixture. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover....sprinkle more cheese on top and cook an additional 15 minutes.

Let me just tell ya it was awesome. And you can add whatever you want. Black beans, some peppers, whatever.

Well...I'm off to get more coffee and curse the snow. Have a good humpity hump day today!!!

Do Giants Bounce?

The answer to that would be NoOoOOOoo they don't bounce. They fall really hard.

Let me explain. Gigantor drives his 4 wheeler to work every day. It does save us a ton on gas. Seeing as his is about 3 miles away. To get there without having to fight all the traffic, he cuts across the desert. He has a pretty nice path cut out for himself. Goes behind a bunch of businesses in what we call "the industrial park" And pulls up to the back of his work.

He said he learned an important lesson today. That the trail you use, may not always stay the same. I guess he was just tearing it up through the desert on the way home. That 4 wheeler is one of the big one's It's a 650. It can go 65mph really easy. I don't think he was going that fast. So far the safety gear he wears is boots, a jacket, gloves and his helmet.

I guess there is this hill he comes up over at a break neck speed. Then it has this nice curve at the base of it, well almost base. Which he banks on and throws sand all over the place and feels very manly doing it. hehehe (insert Tim Allen grunt here) On this particular day, the curve wasn't really there, it was more of a washed out drop off. So...as he came up over the hill and started to bank for the curve, it was a sheer wall/drop.

Gigantor said, that the 4 wheeler went up the wall, and flew off, careening till it crashed. Good thing was that at the same time Gigantor flew off the 4 wheeler, soaring through the air like superman, but in the opposite direction of the 4 wheeler. As he landed he sorta tucked into a curved position. When he did that, he landed on a Ginormous Yucca plant, and his arms and legs wrapped around it and ripped that sucker right out of the ground. I gianormous yucca plant has nothing on a Gigantor Giant!!

He came home to tell me about his lovely little crash. As he is standing in the hallway telling me about it, he is picking yucca splinters out of his giant's butt. Hell he even dropped his drawers and started picking plant out of his jeans and buttocks. hehehehe.

On a serious note he did get a bit bruised and some splinters. But we are so very lucky he was going through the desert cuz we have very very deep sand here, breaks your fall rather nice. And he is soooooooo lucky that the 4 wheeler didn't fall on him. I've heard of so many accidents of people getting maimed even killed from their 4 wheeler falling on them.

Have a Good Tuesday everyone....may it be yucca plant free.

Snotty Noses

I've been stuck with a horrible cold. Stayed in bed all day Friday. I haven't gone to the doctor because it's getting better with cold medicine, and I'm real runny and sneezie not alot a doc can do about that.

Yesterday we worked our asses off at my mom's old property (which is now mine) We worked on the yard real hard. 4 dumpster loads, and one truck load of stuff just out of the yard. Probably have a few more dumpster loads before we even do the rest of the inside. We are hoping with some good news we got on the cost to move our place that we can be up there by sometime this summer. We are so excited.

Last night we went over to the parent in laws for dinner. Gigantor's sister had come up for a visit. Some times we go over at scheduled time and dinner is only about half hour to an hour late. Other times we go over, supposed to eat at 6, and don't end up even eating till 9 or later. Last night was one of those times. It's those times, that I really hate my inlaws, and my husband for not giving me the keys so I can go home. Plus I didn't feel good, so I was a grump. I just sat in my corner and stayed there. LOL

I've got alot more I can vent about, but not gonna, just gonna go take it out on Gigantor instead. hehehehe Have a good Sunday all.

Old Drivers

Any of you who live in or have lived in a small town have probably experienced the "one" old driver that everyone has to look out for. And they all drive those old huge cars that drive like tanks.

We had a guy that drove a green old Mercury. This man was maybe 5 foot 2 and he wore one shoe that had a 5 inch wood platform. He had crooked legs. Now not only would you say, "uht oh here he comes" But people in the town would literally, flip a u-turn and run, or go down a different street to avoid this man. The police tried to work with him. He had no family or friends or church that would help him out by taking him places. The police told him that he could drive as long as during school it was in the middle of the day (less traffic) and during the summer it was early morning (less tourists). I kid you not this man would get into at least one accident a week. He never obeyed the stop lights or stop signs. He wouldn't even drive down the correct side of the road. It could be just you and him on the 4 lane main street, and he would cross all the lanes to drive dirrectly at you. Once he passed it seemed like the driving community made a selective sigh of relief.

Then appeared the crazy old lady. She drove a very old, very big white Chrysler. She would park in the front space at the grocery store, and if that space was taken up, she would park on the sidewalk. When she made her way into the store, with her little walker. She would take two to three steps, then stop for 30 to 40 seconds. It would take this poor woman a good 10 minutes to get into the store. You would think we would all feel rather sorry for her. Ummmmm NOoOOoo. She seemed to be the equivalent of little old green car man. Except the added thing about this lady is she Never Ever used her brakes. She jumped the curb at the post office and slammed into the building. Set her brake, got out checked her mail, and drove off as if nothing happened. She jumped the curb and drove into about 5 glass fronted businesses. Set her brake and got out, and would yell at the owner of the businesses, saying they didn't mark their parking spaces better. She would pull up to a parking space that had someone parked in front of her, and she would slam into them. Not just bump into them and seem shocked and back up. She would slam into them and push their car quiet a ways. Now this little old lady, had family in town. And taking her license away from her didn't work, she still drove. Impounding her car didn't work she would take her daughters out when she wasn't watching. The police finally had to threaten everyone with arrest. At which point little old lady threatened to sue the police and city. Quite a fiasco for a small town.

That little old lady is gone. But I seen the most bizarre thing today, and I just might be more afraid than I was of the other two. As I was coming home from taking Kiddo to school. I seen one of those street racing cars. Like from Fast and Furious movie. (That became a huge craze here after that movie, not the racing but owning the dang cars) Anyhow, behind the wheel of this car was a very short, very old woman. Who could barely see above the wheel. I pray to god that she was just driving a kid/grandkids car, and not seriously going to go "cruisin"

You all had any "regular" "crazy" "Old" drivers in your small town??

Have a good Thursday everyone!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrr

Yesterday was a holiday, so I guess today has to be my Monday. I didn't want to get up, then I put my shirt on backwards.

On the way to taking kiddo to school I tried washing the windows in the Suburban only to have them streak worse than when they were dirty, so I could barley see.

I get home to a call from kiddo that I need to call the school. Already? It's only 8:03? What the heck? grrrrrrrrrr

I put my oatmeal in the microwave for the 2 minutes that it says too, and the flippin thing explodes everywhere before the one minute mark. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU PUT TWO MINUTES IF IT'S GONNA EXPLODE????????

And to top it off, I spilled hot coffee all over my hand and wrist, when I tried to pour me a cup. Apparently Gigantor didn't click the lid back into place so it flew off and coffee screamed out.

I think I'm gonna find a corner and not move today. hehehehe

Wish me luck.

Happy Monday oh crap I mean Tuesday all.

What a Day

Man what a Saturday. We were so busy today. Gigantor got up at 6:30 cuz he felt horrible and he got dressed to go to the doctor as soon as they opened. I woke up and called Captain Daddy, who was all sorts of pissy because he hadn't slept in about 30 hours and his ear was plugged (his ear gets compacted with wax, but he will not go to the doctor and get it cleaned out and he can't do it at home) I gave Captain daddy some suggestions on cleaning it, and asked if he wanted help and he was cranky in saying no.

We then took Kiddo to a birthday party, then went and delivered avon and books. Did some grocery shopping, picked up kiddo, and went to the inlaws. Came home, and one of Kiddo's friends came over. Called Captain Daddy, who was mad I hadn't called two hours earlier. Asked him about going to the movie, got told that he really wanted to see it but he didn't want to go if his ear was plugged. Again asked if he wanted help, was told no.

Went to see Ghost Rider. OMGGGGGGG I loved this movie it was soooo good. I hope they make another. hehehehehe

Went by Captain Daddies to give him some stuff to help with his ears and to offer help again. Very crankily said he didn't want it this time. So...I'm done trying, and if he's cranky later, I'm gonna yell at him.

Delivered some more Avon, and took Kiddo's friend home. Came home and D came over to watch a movie. Made some dinner and watched a movie.

10:00 pm realized we were out of dry dog food, had to run to the store and get some. ugggghhhh

That was my Saturday, now I wanna fall into bed and sleep.

On a side note, when we came out of Ghost Rider, everyone was all exciting saying what vehicle/animal they wanted if they were a ghost rider. We had motorcycles, 4 wheelers, horses, dragons, until mine elicited the most laughter because I said I wanted to have a Flaming Care Bear!!! Upon which Gigantor says, well aren't all care bears flaming?? hehehehehe

Sometimes sticky sweet isn't good.

I opened my cabinet to get my peanut butter out this morning. And everything in the cabinet was stuck. Apparently Gigantor thought it would be a good idea to turn the honey bottle upside down so it could drain to the tip. A honey bottle that already had this loose fitting pop on lid, not a tight fitting screw on lid. So...everything in the cabinet is stuck down in a nice layer of honey.

Did I clean it?? Hell noooo I left it for his dumb butt to clean up. Yup that's the type wife I am, that's how I roll.

In the mail box yesterday was a package that Alekx and House Elf had sent us. OMGGGGGGG They made this dvd of our mom's memorial. Set it to the most appropriate songs. It pans in and out on the pictures, it even scrolls, so you feel more like it's a movie than looking at pictures. It's absolutely amazing!!!!!! And yes I cried. hehehe But those two are amazing in how they made this. Words can't even describe how good it is, or how it made me feel.

On a side note, I have a wacky friend up in Canada (actually alot of wacky friends in Canada*snickers at Miranda*) Anywhoo, she has been coming buy and enjoying reading blogs. She has finally decided to jump in and venture into blog land. Could you all go see her and give her a shout out please. Cuz she's one big Canadian Flake

Have a good Thursday all!!!

P.S. When you are eating peanut butter toast with thick peanut butter, and it's all stuck to the top of your mouth, and you take a big slurp of coffee to help dislodge it. DON'T Open your mouth and work your tongue like a dog does with peanut butter on the roof of their mouths. Cuz if you do...that dam hot, sticky, peanut buttery, crumbie coffee dribbles out all over your chin and shirt. And you look oh so smart and sexy when that happens.

Happy Valentines Day

Just wanted to wish you all a very happy Valentines Day!!!!

Even if you don't believe in it, it's still a good time to give those you love and care about a little extra lovin. And it's a good excuse for sex. hehehehehehe

We were flat broke this year. Payday isn't till Friday. hehehhee We had gotten kiddo a little bear and the movie Open Season. But we decided our present would be to go see a very romantic movie this weekend----Ghost Rider. hehehehe

HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE!!!

Hill Billy Butt

So far this week can kiss my white, hairy, american hillbilly butt!!! LOL I've not had the greatest start to the week.

Found out Monday morning that Gigantor's grandma died over the weekend. Well...sad yes, but come on the woman was 96 and in very bad shape. Found out mid Monday morning that a good friend of the family...big friend to my mom, around her age died over the weekend. WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE, STOP CROAKING!!!

My old man dog (Bassett hound that will be 12 in May) all of a sudden couldn't walk. Now this is Buck, I got him when he was 4 1/2, he had been severely neglected the first 4 years of his life. I was told by the vet that Bassetts live to be 8 to 10 years old, and with how bad his treatment was it would be a gift to get 8 years out of him. My old man will be 12 in May. So...yeah he's lived a lot longer than we expected.

Anywhooooo when he was 8 he developed arthritis in his front shoulder, but we put him on a joint formula and this dog has done wonderful!! Yesterday, he couldn't walk, couldn't put any weight on his paw. Just flopped down and stayed where ever he landed. We rushed him into the vet. The vet says it's his arthritis, that has gotten much much worse, and his cup that holds the ball to his joint is jagged and disintegrating. And a piece of it probably came off and is floating between the ball and cup, and causing excruciating pain. He gave him a heavy duty pain shot, and some massive heavy duty pain pills for a week. If they work, we will put him on a pain pill regimen for the rest of his life. (cuz pain pills do destroy the kidneys) If it doesn't work, we can try one more shot. If that doesn't work, there is nothing to do. Short of extensive x-rays and surgery. Now I love my dog, but come on. He's 12....I can't see spending up to 1000 dollars that maybe give him a few more months, and he die of old age anyway. I always said as long as I could keep him out of pain and suffering I would, but once he starts, that's it, I'll do what I have to.

Anywhooo...after finding out about two deaths, then about how we are starting the last journey with our old man. Monday just sucked major dirty, unwipped ass!!!!!

On a side note, this goes out to all you celebrities out there.
WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE DO SOME STUPID BONEHEADED THING, SO THAT THEY WILL GET THE DRUG ADDICT SLUT ANNA NICHOLE SLIT ER I MEAN SMITH OFF MY DAM T.V.??? I swear I think I caught an std, and got a contact high just watching this dam on going coverage. SHUT THE FUCK UP MEDIA!!!!!!!!!

Okay that's my rant. Have a good Tuesday all!!!

ALIVE!!!!!

I'm alive, Kiddo's alive, I can hardly believe it!!! What a rough few days!!! Fevers, stuffy noses, coughing attacks, headaches, so much medicine there was lots of puking from to much.

Anywhooo today looked wonderful, and then kiddo got a bad bad earache. I thought "oh crap" But after a bunch of ibuprophen it finally went away. I think he will be good to go for school tomorrow.

Him and Gigantor have class tomorrow night. They are taking Hunter Safety class again this year. Last year Kiddo took it but couldn't graduate, he wasn't old enough. But he did pass. They are taking it again this year, cuz Gigantor said he would take Kiddo on his elk hunt this fall. whoooohoooo

Couple little side notes here now.

Mom that's nuts....Alekx said her blog did the same thing, you have to go do the e-mail verification, and then it should pull the blog up under the new blogger.

Also...for any of you who remember my sister Alekx, she is back to blogging after taking a year off. Any of you who haven't had the pleasure to meet her are missing out. Go check out Alekx at Nitrogen Narcosis

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Oh and for those of you up north and on the east coast, we have had lovely weather, Almost in the 70's and not below 40 at night. neiner neiner neiner. hehehehehe

Poor Kid

First of all as you see. Alekx, my sister, got my blog sorta back. I just have her links now. So...please be patient as I try to find all your links and get back to reading you. If you could be so kind as to leave a message so I could click on your name and follow you that way, so I can re add everyone.

My poor kid. He woke up crying and begging to get a shot or something, his throat hurt so bad. He was trying to check it with a mirror and flashlight, but the poor thing didn't know what he was looking for. Well...I felt worse too, so I took us both to the doctor. Everyone thought he had strep, but I did not. I didn't see any redness or puss pockets in his throat when I looked.

Come to find out, he had a fever, achey all over, sore throat but after a swab it proved to not be strep. He has a highly contagious viral flu. uggghhhhh I told you we needed hazmat suits. They sent him home with no medicine, cuz nothing for the flu. Told to give him some dayquil for his stuffyness and cough, and to give him ibuprophen or tylenol for his fever. If he isn't better by Saturday, I need to take him back. The flu up here kills people. So...if he's no better, he has to get a barrage of tests including chest x-rays and the like.

I on the other hand have a sinus infection. I am to keep taking the dayquil and to take the antibiotic he gave me. ugggghhhh

I'm gonna try to read as many blogs as I can find. Have a good, germ free Thursday all!!!

The house of Germs

Man this must be the house of germs. I can't figure out what is going around. Poor kiddo has been sick twice since Christmas. He's needed heavy duty antibiotics both times. Now he his down with it again. I gave him some medicine and was gonna throw him out at school, and he started throwing up. Gonna dope him up good today and see if I can kick it out of him.

Gigantor has also been sick twice since Christmas, seems to get it a few days after Kiddo. I'm just waiting to see if he does again.

Now I have had problems with coughing, throat and sinuses for three days. Been doping the hell out of myself trying to kick it out and avoid going to the doctor. What the hell????

I'm gonna go make us all bathe in a vat of antibacterial goo, and hose down the house with lysol and clorox. Then I'm gonna put everyone in hazmat suits. Wish me luck. hehehehe

P.S.

I have no idea what happened to my blog. I was adding some people to my links and it did this. ahhhhhhhh If anyone knows how to help me out and fix it please???? I lost all my links and everything. grrrrrrrrrrrrr

bbq's, colts, and ads...oh my

Well....I didn't scare the crap out of myself anymore. But was rather busy.

Friday a did a bunch of cleaning and shopping for Gigantor's birthday bbq on Saturday. I cooked up some good grub, and we had a good time. One down point, my father was being a major ass. And since the world obviously revolves around him, and he can't be put out to do anything. He expected Gigantor to go to his house and do something, and both me and Gigantor forgot. So...instead of calling or still going about his day. He got all pissy and waited around his house all day. Then instead of coming to the bbq. He was a major ass to both of us and went shopping instead. Then he was still someone of a major ass hole on Sunday. I swear if he's gonna keep that shit up, he's gonna be one lonely man. Because I will not a repeat of the guilt shit, and thinking they are the center of the earth that my mom used to do. That man will find himself on his own completely.

Okay end of that rant. Other than that a very nice bbq, and Gigantor got what he wanted and then some.

We watched the Superbowl. YAYYYYYY COLTS!!!!!!! Now I don't say that because I'm a big football fan, or because I'm a big colts fan. I watch maybe two games a year including the superbowl. But hey, I'm a girl, I pick teams I like the way girls do. If it's an animal I'll always cheer for it. If it's two animals I pick the cuter one. hehehehehee

I usually love the super bowl for the ads. I was highly dissapointed this year. Most of them sucked eggs. And isn't if funny that Pepsi didn't do one single add this year? I found it odd. Here are my three favorites.
1. The dog that got splashed with mud and pretended to be the budweiser dalmatian.
2. The taco bell commercial with the lions.
3. The bud light commercial of the guy picking up the hitch hikers.

But again, no pepsi commercial and no clydsdale commercial...I was let down.

Okay I'm off to eat stale birthday cake, and read what all you lovelies have been up to. Happy Monday all!!

Holy Racing Hearts Batman

I just succeeded in scaring the shit cookies out of myself. I'm sitting here in the cold. (The heater has been running for over 3 hours straight and the thermometer says it's still only 60 in here) Anywhooo, sitting here eating my nutritious breakfast of fat free popcorn. And I see smoke out of the corner of my eye.

Now picture my chubby but jumping up, heart racing, sure that my fricken house is on fire, and I gotta get all the dam pets and my big butt out!!! As I jump out of the computer chair so fast it flings across the room slamming into the bookcase, and I scream something that rhymes with "OH TRUCK"!!! It is then that I see, and remember......I lit a stupid flippin incense stick this morning. The trail/poofs of smoke were coming from the stupid thing.

So...after I went and changed my pants, calmed the birds down, (their cage is on the bookcase the chair slammed into) and had the dogs eat all the popcorn that was thrown all over the living room. I went and lit another stick just to keep the good times rollin.

Well....other than that, hell including that, it's a pretty normal day at the Dork central house today. hehehhee

Have a good Thursday all!!!

Update: Blogger made me switch to the new version, it wouldn't let me access anyone elses blogs until I did. grrrrrrrrrrr blogger.

Makes you say Alrighty Then.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of observing some of Kiddo's peers. I was quite amused and thinking Alrighty Then. Then I thought. Some days these young ones are gonna rule our country. That's when I died in uncontrollable fits of laughter.

Now let me tell ya, where I drop kiddo off at school is at the back. He is way in the back, and if I dropped him off at the front, he would have to walk a gazillion miles to get to his class, which is right inside the back corner door. Well....between street and the door is a very steep grass hill. Probably every kid in the school has fallen down this hill at least once, when it's icy, or snowy, or fresh green and just rained. My kid included. But right now the hill is dry brown grass. No ice.

Yesterday morning after I dropped kiddo off, I was watching a little girl on her bike. (she was about 9 or 10) She wanted to ride it down said hill. But every time she came off the pavement and onto the grass, her bike just would stop, and she couldn't peddle it anymore. Well....this didn't stop the little tyke. I mean it would be way to easy to ride around the hill, that might take, oh i dunno, 45 more seconds. Instead she backs way up the side walk, and gets on her bike, and starts riding hell bent for leather, head down, peddling for all she's worth. She hops that bike right up on the grass. And...that's when it happened. Her bike came to a dead stop, not only dead stop, but such an abrupt stop, that the back tire came off the ground. This poor dork ass girl, then flew, over the handlebars, in the superman possition. She sailed a good 20 feet, then proceded to roll most the way down the hill. She got up, looked around came back to her bike, and the dumb shit tried it again!!!

In the afternoon, I had gone to the post office on my way to pick up kiddo. I was driving down a street and saw a little boy of about 8 or 9 run across the street, across some grass, to a parking lot. Where he stopped and proceeded to lick the grill of a black dodge ram truck. I almost ran off the road looking at this, wondering WTF is that kid doing???? I'm sure I will go to my maker and never know why that kid was licking some parked trucks grill.

As I was sitting parked at the top of the hill waiting for Kiddo to get out of school. Another girl, about 10 years old, was running up the hill to get in her car, which was parked in front of me. At the crest of the hill, she fell sprawled out on her face and belly, made a big WOOOOFFF noise, then got up sorta laughing. She then started running, and stepped off the curb to run around the other side of the car when WHOOOOOFFFFFFF SPLAT!!!!!! Right in the street on her face and belly. She then got up doing the laughy, ow, hu, ow, hu, ow hu noise as she got in the car. Hitting her head on the way into the car.

So....when you are older and you are having some young doctor working on you. You can wonder if he ever licked grills when he was a kid. Or when the governor of your state is making huge decisions, you can wonder if she was the bonehead that couldn't stay on her bike, or on her feet. hehehehe

Somedays it's nice to know that my family isn't the biggest dorks on the planet. It doesn't happen often, but some days. hehehehehe

Have a good Tuesday everyone!!! I'm off to clean for Gigantors birthday bbq this Saturday.

Tagged again!!!!!

I've been tagged by Threeolives now. This one is sorta cool/scary/funny I guess.

RULES: Each player of this game starts with the 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a post of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Okay well to only list weird and not utterly frightening. That might be hard. hehehehe

1. I have a weird obsession with wiping my hands. I can't have dirty/wet/ icky hands for longer than a few seconds. I'm always using a napkin. You should see me eating bbq chicken or something. I have a surplus of napkins and wipe after each and every bite. Which makes this next one even weirder.

2. I have to clean my dogs and cats eyes like 2 or 3 times a day. I can't stand if they have any crunchies in the corners, or eye goobers in their eyes. I have to clean them out. It grosses me out, but I can't NOT do it. I used to do it to the horses too. Boy them gerbils are lucky they are to tiny. hehehehe

3. Sometimes I snort when I laugh. Not all the time mind you, but it sneaks up and explodes out once in a while. Which makes everyone laugh all the harder.

4. When I am cold, and sitting like on the couch. I tuck my hands in my waist band and put them down by my legs. I don't know why, I just do it.

5. I have a very weird ritual when I go to bed. I will be sitting up in bed watching t.v. and the first thing I have to do is, go to the highest t.v. channel and work my way down to channel 3. I then have to turn the volume down to 9 and turn the t.v. off. Then I have to flip all my pillows so they are cool, I have to arrange them and the covers just right. The covers have to completely cover my shoulders, so no draft is coming in. And then I have to get my legs in a certain possiton all comfortable. It is only then that I can think about going to sleep.

6. I have a touch of ocd about certain things. Like the towels and underwear have to be folded a certain way. (but nothing else does) Dishes have to be loaded in the dishwasher a certain way. The toilet paper has to go on the holder the right way. And the radio in my car better be back on my station and turned the right volume. If none of these are done the right way. Then I turn into a raving banshee for the day. hehehehehe

Okay gosh there is 6. Yes I know I'm a wacko bird. Now I need to tag 6 people I guess. Let me see.

1. Dorko...I tag you. Just cuz I wanna hear about how weird ya are girlie

2. Miranda...I always love your answers.

3. Mom that's nuts....I know your weird girlie, but this should make it all the weirder. hehehehe

4. Azathoth...Dude, a sister's gotta know. hehehehe

5. Hammer....I'm sure you can come up with some good ones. Lets hear them.

6. I would tag alekx, but alas, she has been absent from blogs for over a year now. *sigh* I don't know who else to tag. anyone else that wants to do it I guess.

Happy Monday all!!!!

Feel a Rumbly in my Tumbly

Yup I sure did feel a Rumbly. That's why no post yesterday. I was in bed all day. ugggghhhhhhh

Okay I have a question. I was watching something that was talking about kids new dance crazes. And it said something called "Crumping" WTF is crumping????

I must be old cuz I have no clue.


I'm with the comedians on this one. It doesn't sound like a dance, it sounds like a violent bowel movement.

I'm off to read you all and leave snarky, smart assy comments.

But please if you know what crumping is, hook a sista up would ya???

Have a good weekend everyone!!!!

For thou art Crunchy....

And no I'm not talking about what is found in your under roo's at the end of the day. hehehehe

I'm in a mood let me tall ya. I visited the store that "mom that's nuts" always goes too. After not getting alot of sleep yesterday, I went to the Smart Ass store and got me a pair of Cranky Pants.

I was so full of crank and smart assiness that I amazed myself. Although that could be cuz I was tired and just amused myself also.

I did get a bit more sleep last night. I got a full 4 hours. *gasp* be still my heart.

I've had an i.v. put in to pour the coffee in, and I've resorted to snorting sugar. See if that helps me keep on track.

Anyone seen that preview for, crap I think it's called The Robinsons. A new animated movie. The lab lady says she's on the caffeine patch, it's equivalent to 12 cups of coffee, and she has about 50 of them on. That's what I need. hehehehehe

On that note, I'm gonna leave you with 4 of the best t-shirts I've seen in a long time, and I want to own them all.

SHUT UP VOICES OR I'LL POKE YOU WITH A Q-TIP AGAIN!!!

THEY SAY I HAVE A.D.D. WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IS...OH LOOK A CHICKEN!!!!!

IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT.....DON'T TICKLE THE DRAGON!!!!!

DON'T ANNOY THE DRAGON FOR THOU ART CRUNCHY AND TASTE GOOD WITH KETSUP!!!!

Have a good Tuesday all!!!

Somedays it's not worth chewing through the straps.

That's me. I need a vacation. Just check me in the loony bin.

I had a hard time last Wednesday being the one year mark of when mom died. I was over emotional.

Then the sick kid.

Then the mother in law manipulating things so we all go to dinner on Friday night. To see a sister who was in town, but who Gigantor does not get along with. Basicly cuz she is a demon from HELLLLLLL!!!! This woman has done so much to hurt Gigantor and me and Kiddo. It's not even forgivable anymore. The mother in law just wants a perfect loving family. But it's not gonna happen. Anyhow, we did go to dinner. I think no more than 2 words were exchanged between that sister and any of my family (us three) We visited with her husband a bit. All in all it was free food. hehehehe

We were rather kicked back all weekend. Did some cleaning and shopping. We did watch our movies came in on Netflix. We really really liked all three of them. Got Accepted, Gridiron Gang, and American Pie the Naked Mile.

I know this is a boring ass post. Sorry about that. I'm cranky as shit today. My ENTIRE family kept me up all night. I think I got 30 minutes sleep. Between the husband snoring, and fidgeting, the kid getting up, the dogs snoring, whining, and pacing, the cat attacking me all mother bunny humping night.

I told Gigantor he better find a way to knock the shit off and let me get some sleep. Cuz sleep deprived people do some horrible things. And people have murdered for less than that. hehehehehe

Have a good Monday anyway all. Keep chewing through the straps.

Sniffling, Coughing and Vomiting OH MY

I had to take Kiddo back to the doctor. His sinus infection came back with a vengeance. To tell the truth, I don't think it ever really left. I don't think he had enough or strong enough antibiotics. This time the doctor. Yes it was doctor Woundedface. Gave him a very very strong antibiotic and a very very strong decongestant. Both to be taken with lots of water, both to be taken with food. Only taken twice a day. Which tells me to give them at breakfast and dinner. Well...apparently, the mixture of the two in a 10 year olds body, is not a good thing. Now we spent the entire night with him hanging over the bowl, bringing up his feet. This poor kid got so dang sick, throwing up so much. Today I am just giving him the antibiotic, and some over the counter cold stuff. Trying...hell praying he holds it down. If nothing else I would like him to get the antibiotic in him and get this all over with.

Somebody last blog (sorry I can't memeber I had a brain fart) Someone asked what the heck Nutella toast was. Nutella is this amazing invention. It's a chocolate hazelnut spread. You can't taste alot of the hazelnuts, or I would "hate" it. But it's a chocolaty spread, similar to creamy peanut butter. If any of you remember the Jiff Silk that was chocolate, it's sorta like that. And about once a year we splurge and buy a jar or two. And I indulge and make Nutella toast every day till it's gone. I try to convince myself it's not as bad if I spread it on toast, other than eat it with a spoon straight out of the jar. hehehehehe

Anyhow, I'm off to restock the kleenex, pass around more hand sanitizer, and to hose down the house in lysol. Have a good Thursday everyone!!!!

Freezing BBQ's

We did go over to my aunt and uncles on Friday. Had a really good time. Good food, and good company. The guys all played Texas Hold em after. Gigantor won. 15 bucks. whooohoooo Us women and Kiddo played Pirates of the Caribbean Life game. We had a blast. We didn't come home till midnight.

Saturday I did a bunch of work for Gigantor's mom. Made the birthday cake, and wrapped presents, and cut up lots of stuff for her. Then we went over early and I cleaned up the counters and tables. She was amazed, it was nice. We bbq'd and played a card game called Split. Came home about 10. On our way home the radio said it was 19 degree's out. Got down to 13 that night.

Sunday, Gigantor got a hair up his hiney and went and got steaks. So..yeah we had 3 bbq's in 3 days. hehehehee He's also grilling something tonight. Maybe we are just in denial, trying to pretend it's spring. lol

Today, that dork had to call me up at 9 in the morning, I was sleeping in. He called me to tell me it was a nice sunny, warm 18 degrees out.

I don't know what that illness was that had a hold of me, but it let go, thank god. I agree with aza, it sorta sounded like food poisoning.

Well I'm gonna go have my nutella toast and drink my milk. Happy Monday all.

Some days your the Windshield

Some days your the bug. Hell most days I'm the bug. ugggghhhhhhhh

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Some weird illness or something attacked me. Early Tuesday morning. Like 1:45 early. I got really hot in bed, and threw back the covers, then I started getting that hot tingly sensation with the clammy sweats that you get when your gonna be violently ill. But my stomach didn't hurt. I went into the bathroom anyway, and ended up sitting there for 3 hours while wave after wave of total body cramps, and tingly hot/clammy sweats hit me. Finally Gigantor came in and asked if I was okay. Well duh, no. I told him what was happening, and he got me back in bed. When I got back in bed I started shaking uncontrollably, and freezing. He had like 5 blankets on me. Then I started crying, cuz I didn't know what was wrong or what to do. Scared Gigantor so bad he wanted to take me to the e.r. I told him no.

I ended up sleeping till 2 the next afternoon, with alternating sweats and shivering. I got up and he made me some soup. Every muscle in my body felt as if it was strained to it's limits. And every time I ate or drank the upper part of my stomach hurt, wasn't upset but hurt painfully. That happened through Thursday. I finally feel a bit better today.

So who knows what it was. I have no idea if it was food poisoning, or some weird virus. But I never got sick to my stomach. But the rest of the stuff was scary.

I've been trying to catch up with some things from being down for two days, and still not trying to over do it. We have a bbq to go to tomorrow. Gigantor's dad's birthday. Gigantor will have to do the grilling seeing as his dad is still recuperating from shoulder replacement surgery. His mom has been run ragged and is so dang tired. I'm gonna try to get her to give me a list and go get all the stuff tonight or in the morning. Then I'm gonna do all the prep work, like cutting stuff up and boiling the eggs for her salad and stuff. Just to hopefully give her hand.

Holy shit. I just got a phone call from my uncle. One that we have been mending a relationship since my mom died. Well him and my aunt said they had an itchin to bbq some hotdogs and hamburgers tonight and want us over at 6. Whooohoooo two nights having bbq's in January. Life is good. hehehehehe

Monday Blechhhhhh

I hate Mondays. blechie, blah, ick. I love the weekends, just hanging with the family, sleeping whenever you want, and no worries. Then back to a schedule on Monday. Blah

Kiddo went back to school today. He was excited to go back, because he really likes his teacher. Which is very good. I on the other hand was hurting pretty bad driving him. It was the first time driving since I hurt myself with the fall. And that ankle. ugggghhhh, it's the right one. So....It really is hurting now after having to use the brake all the time. And I'm still very very slow going up and down the porch steps.

We watched a few movies this weekend. Watched Wicker Man. What a screwed up stupid movie. LOL Then we watched The Covenant, I really enjoyed that one, was a pretty good movie. And yes, I will admit it, I got Snakes on a Plane. I got it for Kiddo to watch, cuz he loves snakes. About 15 minutes into it, him and us realized it was way to "scary" for him. Not that it was a horror movie, but it had alot of startling parts in it. So...he went in the other room, and we continued to watch it. I'm pleased to say that it was not near as bad as the advertisements looked or sounded. Of course it's zero reality based. But it's one of those, full of action, guy gets the girl, good guy wins kind of movies. Sometimes those are fun. And it was full of lots and lots of snarky, smart assy comedy. Which is always a good thing.

Well I'm off to eat my toast and start administering coffee through an i.v. Have a great Monday everyone!!!

Night at the Museum

I just have to say that the movie Night at the Museum ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooo dang good!!!! I recommend it for all ages. It was great fun for me and Gigantor and for Kiddo and Big J!!!

In other news, my ankle is still hurting, making pain throughout my foot. Hopefully better for me to drive and take kiddo to school and stuff starting next week.

Kiddo is almost over whatever he had. Took him to the doctor, got heavy decongestants and antibiotics. He was so sick he was begging for the doctor and even for a shot. Now that's pretty sick for a kid.

Gigantor now has whatever Kiddo had. If they decide to share with me, I may just have to hurt someone.

I'm outa here to go eat my lunch and catch up on blogs. Have a good Tuesday everyone!!

Christmas aftermath

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!! Ours was pretty good. On Christmas eve I did a crash and burn. I slipped on something on the bathroom floor, and fell down. Twisted my ankle so bad I thought I broke it. Gigantor of course wasnt' here, he was at the store. Kiddo got to witness it and freak out. Seeing as he was the one to witness what happened to me in Texas when I fell, and had to be taken off in an ambulance. No ambulances this time. He actually helped me back up, but I sprained my ankle super super bad. I'm stuck inside for a few days, seeing as it's so bad I can't get up or down the stairs or climb my ass up into the suburban. And it's my right ankle, my driving foot. ugggghhhh

Christmas day was very nice. Captain daddy came down and spent the whole day, and Gigantors parents spent about 4 hours with us. Only one downside, that was about 8:30 that night. All the tons and tons of ibuprophen I had taken for the pain, caught up to me, and I got major sick. I ended up going to bed before 9. I don't do that, I'm a night owl.

I stayed in bed with my foot propped up for a good part of the day yesterday. Kiddo took care of me alot. It felt much better. I went to bed early and slept in again, it feels alot better today. Kiddo got major sick last night. He's all stuffed up, fever, cough, sneezing. Poor poor baby. He needs to go to the doctor today, but as I said, I can't get down the stairs, in the suburban, or drive. I hinted to Gigantor's mom but she wouldn't take him, said she was to busy. Captain daddy was in bed after working graveyard shift last night. So...hoping Gigantor can get off in enough time to take him. Although we may wait till tomorrow, cuz doping him up with this Vicks children's Nyquil seems to be helping. If it is, I may see if I can knock it out of him, but if he's no better by tomorrow he is definatly going to the doctor.

Well I'm off to force more drugs down me and my childs throats. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

I want to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! May yours be filled with lots and lots of hugs, giggles, laughter, and love!!!!!

Hell Has Frozen Over!!

You have all heard me refer to Arizona as the 9th rung of hell. Well let me tell ya, Hell has finally frozen over. When you get 119 to 125 degrees in the summer, and that's normal. Freezing temps take you by surprise. Not only that. But....Monday night, it fricken snowed!!!! I don't mean the snow that fluffs around here then melts off at the first rays of sun. I mean snowed and 4 inches stuck, and today most of it is still stuck on the ground snowed. All the kids are excited. Last time it snowed and stuck enough for kids to play in was when Kiddo was 2. He is now 10. Time before that, I was 17. Lets just say that's a long time ago. hehehehee

I don't mind the snow so much. Driving around town in it is fine for me (now everyone else, drives like they don't know what it is, and crashes into stuff) I won't drive out of town on long distances in it though. I don't even mind the kids playing, or it being cold, or the dogs getting muddy paws. The main thing I mind about snow. Is walking in it. Like to the car, or to a store, or up and down the fricken icy steps!!!!!!!!!!! The husband does scrape and put salt down. But it still has a thin, very slick sheet of ice. And it probably would be fine, but ever since I fell in Texas and hurt myself so bad. I'm so very scared to fall again. Scared I'll fall by myself and the cell phone won't work, and people will find me frozen to the pavement. uggghhhhh

On a side note. My suburban tried to eat me alive today. The two front doors have been really hard to open from the inside. To the point that we have to have help sometimes getting out of the car. Kiddo had found the trick to getting in and out, you have to hold the handle a certain way, and move very slow and gentle, and the door will open. Well....insert snow and freezing temperatures. Now the fricken doors are worse than ever in the mornings. This morning I drive home from taking kiddo to school. I CAN'T GET OUT OF THE FRICKEN SUBURBAN!!!! IT HAS ME STUCK INSIDE, IT WON'T BUDGE, NO GENTLE, OR CRAZED SLAMMING MY SHOULDER INTO THE DOOR IS GONNA OPEN THIS BITCH!!!! So...I calm down, and try rolling the window down to open the latch on the outside. Well...again since my fall in Texas (where I also dislocated my elbow pretty bad) I can't seem to twist my arm around enough to open the latch. I'm to chunky (fat people) to get myself turned around in the seat to use the other arm. For some reason I can't get the seat to recline back so it's easier to do. With the problems in my back and legs, I couldn't get my toosh over the middle console to get out the other door, WHICH WAS FRICKEN STUCK ALSO!!!! Again I start the mad woman SLAMMING MY SHOULDER INTO THE DOOR CURSING AT THE SUBURBAN TO LET ME GO, AND GETTING NOWHERE!!!! I use the cell phone and call Gigantor, to ask him to come home and let me out of my mother bunny humping car!!! How embarrassing is that??? Of course he starts laughing so hard he fell over, then he told everyone within a 10 block radius about it. Needless to say, that sorta ticked me off. So...I cranked that arm, felt a very sharp pain in my elbow, and a pop, and ignored it and opened that stupid as latch from the outside. I'm out of the suburban, I've done kicked the tires and called it every name in the book... Now I'm on some anti inflamitories, and ice on the elbow to see if the throbbing goes down. hehehehe Lets just say even though I'm out, I think the score is Suburban-1 Angry fat woman-0...this afternoon I'm taking the shotgun, the bitch better let me out.

Have a great, locked in your car free, Thursday everyone!!!

Can I Sleep Yet?

Boy howdy what a busy weekend.
Friday we went and seen the premier of Eragon. OMG it was soooooo awesome!!!! Now it was a great movie all it's own, but it was so much better if you have read the book, and read the 2nd book, Eldest. Can't wait for the third book in the trilogy. I hope they make more movies. Only thing you have to remember is they crammed a whole huge, wonderful book into an hour and a half. So...yeah it was missing some stuff.

Kiddo's friend Big J stayed the night Friday. I was amazed, they went right to sleep at about 10. No fighting for 2 hours.

Saturday, me and Gigantor went and signed up for cell phones and got them.
We delivered some Christmas cards.
Went and seen his parents.
Checked the mail.
Dropped Big J and Kiddo off at his house. (they were gonna watch him so we could go shop)
Went and got gas in the burban.
Went to Walmart and finished our Christmas shopping.
Went and got Kiddo.
Went and got Gigantors parents.
Went to the Parade of Lights on main street.
Took his parents home and unloaded their truck for them.
Went to taco bell, cuz I'll be dammed if I cook after all that.
And didn't get back home till 7:30 since we left in the morning.

Today...was almost as busy.
Got up and helped Kiddo make some goodie bags for his party on Thursday. (we put Christmas straws, pencils, candy canes and some candies in them) Then I tied every fricken one with ribbon and made it twirlie. Only cuz Kiddo asked.
Then I worked on some wrapping, and Avon stuff.
Gigantor went up to his parents and dug a water line up so the plumber could work on it.
Then he went and laid a gravel walk/path for Captain Daddy.
Then he ran to the grocery store.
And we cleaned some pet cages.

I was asked by Cookie Monster who Uncle House Elf was. Okay...well, my sister and I don't give out names online. To many years of being in a law enforcement family, and seeing to many horrid things. So for reference.
Burfica = me
Alekx = my sister (who used to blog but doesn't have time anymore)
Gigantor = my husband (cuz he's a fricken giant. Wears size 15 ring size 14 shoes, a giant I tell ya)
House Elf = Alekx's husband (cuz he's short, and cute, so think of the house elf on Harry Potter)
Kiddo = my son (who is 10)
Captain Daddy = my daddy
In laws, or evil one's = Gigantors parents. hahaha j/k
Big J= Kiddo's best friend
Little Pixie= Big J's little sister
D= mine and Gigantor's demented twisted, wonderful friend
Goober= Big J and Little Pixies mom.

I think that is about all the people I regularly put up here. Just to clarify some of the confusion.

I'll try to post a couple times this week, but definatly read and comment I will. (did that just sound like yoda?) Have a great Monday all!!!

Go Orange!!!!

Wow what a great football season!!!! We didn't beat the Bills for first place, but boy did we make them work for it. We actually scored three touchdowns. The coach then bought all the kids pizza. The kids got a 2nd place certificate and medals. The medals are cool, have a football on them that spins.

That was the 2nd medal that Kiddo got that day. He did a walk for diabetes a month or so ago. He wanted to really do it cuz both his grandfathers have diabetes as does his Uncle House Elf. He raised the most money in the community, so they awarded him with a medal, a letter, some prizes and he was on t.v. for the morning announcements at school. He did that one other year with the Jump Rope For Hearts. He's one charity raising fool, let me tell ya.

I've been so dang busy past couple weeks, that I can't even function by the end of the day. Gigantor jumped all over me, said I would get sick or something. He finally asked my why I was making myself that busy, instead of relaxing a little. I sat long and hard and thought about it. And I know why I'm throwing myself into a busy tizzy. I miss my mom, I miss her really really bad right now. Christmas was one of her favorite times of the year...And this is gonna be the first one without her. Every time I slow down I start thinking about how much I miss her, and what she is missing out on. And two things happen. 1. I cry and cry, like for hours and 2. I start throwing this huge pity party that's all about me, myself and I. And let me tell ya. I'm just not into doing either one of those right now!!!! I know I need to cry or I'm going to make it worse. But for some reason this month, I'm beating the tears down with a stick. Matter of fact just writing this has made some of the tears start, so...It popped into my mind that I now have to go and get a bunch of shit done. See...there is that stick, now it's gonna beat them down.

Sorry I made the end of this post somewhat of a bummer.

Have a good Thursday everyone!!!!

Oh oh oh on a side note, WE ARE GOING TO THE PREMIER OF ERAGON TOMORROW!!!! I have only been waiting impatiently for this movie since I read the book and the 2nd book in the series almost a year ago. I am so excited I may pee a little. hehehehhee

2nd PLACE BABY!!!!

Kiddo had a football game last night. They were tough, their coach screamed and hollered and was a just a major pain. And yes!!!!!!!!! We beat the snot out of them!!! The misfit Bronco's kicked some major booty. That has guaranteed us 2nd place over all. On Wednesday we play the number one team. If we lose, we are still in 2nd. If we win, then we are tied for first, and it comes down to a count of all the points over the season!! I am so proud of those guys. They have worked their butts off and done it all just having major fun.

In other news.....My vortex bra, the one that has seemed to be hibernating for months. Has come back in full vengeance. I swear I don't know how that chit gets into my bra. It's not like I'm sticking my boobs somewhere they don't belong. I found a bunch of scotch tape in there the other day. Yes I was wrapping gifts, but I was wearing a high necked long sleeved shirt. So how did tape get in my bra. I thought it would be ribbon. Seeing as how I got all tangled up in the ribbon and instead of being smart and cutting my way out. I spent a fricken half hour untangling myself. hehehehehe

Captain daddy will be here soon to do his laundry, and I go visit with him. So..I'm gonna go wrap pressies while I visit. Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!

Week of Busy ness

Man it's been so darn busy this week. We had two football games. Yes yes we won!!!!!!!!!!!! The first one we stomped the heck out of them 36 to 12 hehehehe
The second one was to a team we lost to, our very first game matter of fact. Even the coach of that team was talking smack, saying "YOU BEAT THEM ONCE YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN" We beat them 25 to 23. hehehehe GO BRONCO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the little kids on our team were sorta sad, saying that alot of kids from other teams were giving them a hard time in school. Saying that they suck, and their team sucks, and they are in last place. The coach and Gigantor said to tell they "yeah well if we suck, how come we just moved into second place" WHOOOHOOO THEY ARE IN SECOND PLACE!!!!! We have two more games to play of the season. One of the teams beat us before, and one we beat. I hope our streak stays and we beat both of them. If we do, the kids are guarantee's at LEAST second place. And I'm so excited about this, not just cuz my kid is on the team. But this coach took all the "misfits" the "not real athletic" kids, and they are kicking some major butt!!!

I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. Only thing I have left is maybe Gigantor a couple things. But I have basically nothing for his parents or my dad, they are so fricken hard to buy for. And I have to get stocking stuff. The little candies and games. I have three tiny things for my dad, and one thing for his parents. ugggghhhh

Now I have all the wrapping. I wrap everything for everyone but my own gifts. And Gigantor complains about that. I think if he complains this year, I'm gonna stick a candy cane up his nose!!!

I tried a new "peanut butter bar" recipe, and I'm making some southwest wraps for my Avon Christmas party tonight. I hope they have some good give aways. Holidays are always cool for that.

Okay I'm off to get more coffee, and eat my dam banana (blech) But I've had bad leg cramps so I'm trying to eat one a day. I used to love banana's till I got really really sick with one when I was pregnant, now it's hard as nails to eat one.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!

DAM YOU GERBIL!!!

DAM YOU GERBIL FOR DYING BEFORE YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY WAS UP!!! Dam you for doing it around the holidays, and dam you for not doing it when Gigantor could take care of you, making me do the duty. Although I will say thank you for not doing it while the kiddo was here. Now I can break it to him more gently.

Of course it couldn't be one of his dam fish that have been alive for like 6 years. Fricken Fracken goldfish, you are supposed to die and be flushed within the first year you bastards!!!! NoOoOoOoo it's one of the gerbils that are supposed to live 3 to 5 years but only made it just over one.

Now of all things I worry about the other two gerbils. How dare you make me fret. hehehee

I was gonna update you all about my boring ass weekend, busy but boring. But that was more excitement this morning than my entire weekend. LOL I did watch a couple movies though. I watched See No Evil. That was pretty good. And I watched Tristan and Isolde, that was a pretty darn good movie.

Okay I'm off to eat some breakfast and call Gigantor and warn him that he will be on burial duty when he gets off work.

Hope you all have a good Monday, may none of your little cute rodents die on you.

Friday!!

In answer to a previous comment. It's American football. We call European football...us yanks call that soccer. hehehehehe

Speaking of football, his team played again on Wednesday. We STOMPED them. 28 to 12 The poor kids though were playing in 27 degree weather with a wind chill of about 19. I made Kiddo wear a sweat shirt, his coat, then his football shirt over all that. He had his hat and his hood on. I can't let him wear gloves. He handles the ball alot, being the center, so he has to be able to feel it.

Today I went and got my nails done again. Red and Green sparklies with Christmas decals on them.

I gotta tell you something I found very very funny the other day. Just goes to show you that not everyone has heard "popular" sayings. (at least it was funny to me)
A bunch of us (friends, and Alekx who is family) were in Pogo playing a game, and chatting. One of the people was complaining. So I piped up with one of my most popular sayings that I use all the time and I said. Oh just put your big girl panties on and deal!!! (if some of you haven't heard this before, basicly it means "stop whining, grow up, and deal with the situation") I didn't realize this guy in the room had never heard of it. (the saying) So we are all in another game, and his score was low, and I go dr??? What you doing way down there?? He says, "I'm trying to get my fat chick pants on." Now I spit water all over my screen when he said that, cuz I realized he had no idea what that saying meant. Although a couple other people that were on the hefty side got offended cuz he was saying fat chick pants. We then spent the next half hour laughing at him and trying to explain the saying. He was certain it was some inside joke about heavy girls that he didn't get. hehehehe

Okay so maybe it's just funny to me.

I'm gonna go make the gerbils stop staring at me.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!

Did You Ever???

Did you ever have one of those days where your going to throw the phone across the room?? Not just throw it across the room, but throw it right at your husband, hitting him in the head. Then picking it up and bashing him over and over again in the head until he stops moving?? No?? Maybe it's just me. I swear why do men pick the time to fight with you when you are pms ing really bad???

I have received no less than 8 phone calls and had to make 6 myself in the past hour. All the straighten out my son's lunch ticket, and to straighten out the idiot who was supposed to fix Captain Daddy's heater, and to fight with the husband about something he should be doing but wants me to do.

I'm now waiting for D to show up with more stories. I finished typing and printing out 12 of his short stories. Some needed some major fixing. The man is brilliant with his imagination and story telling, except....he can't think of a single name for anyone. Like if a guy is a scribe, his name is scribe. Or if they are a warrior their name is warrior. So...he gave me free reign to name the characters.

On a side note, Kiddo's football team (Bronco's) slaughtered the other team (Falcons) on Monday. Kiddo took a few kids out himself. He's not fast or athletic, but he's built like a tank, and intimidating. He's bummed it's only flag football and not tackle. hehehehe

Well...I'm off to eat my pop tarts. Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!

Survived

I'm hoping you all survived your long holiday weekend. We survived. We had a good thanksgiving day, but the inlaws did stay to long. hehehehe By 9 Thursday night I was ready for everybody to go home, and I wanted to go to bed.

I've been battling a sore throat all dam weekend. It's not getting any worse thank goodness, but it's not getting any better either.

We didn't get all I like to get done over this long weekend. Part of it due to Gigantor part of it due to inlaws. So...He's in trouble and now has to help me do it all after work each day. And...we have two football games this week.

I don't know why but I am so dang tired. More tired than usual. Of course I laid down to go to sleep at about midnight thirty last night and I couldn't sleep. At about 2 I finally fell asleep. I woke up with Gigantors alarm at 5. Kicked him out of bed at 5:20 because he kept hitting snooze and it kept waking me up. I didn't fall back asleep until 6:30, and boy was it a good sleep. Only to be rudely awakened by my alarm and my son informing me that I had to be up at 6:45 or else I wouldn't get him to school in time. grrrrrrr I hate it when you fall into an excellent sleep and have to get up just right after.

I of course tried to sleep in a couple of the days over this long weekend. To get some rest and maybe get rid of that sore throat. I don't know what it is, but every time I "need" to sleep in. Gigantor has to pick a fight with the Kiddo. I don't mean small fight, I mean ends up yelling and threatening, and him acting like a huge ass (cuz he acts 3, gigantor not the kid) and then the kid crying, and, more yelling and trying to blame it on me sleeping. Till I finally get up and beat them both.

Although on Saturday, the Kiddo did make one horrid wrong move. They left to go get Christmas stuff from up at our shed, which is in our other yard. And I fell asleep on the couch. I was awakened by Kiddo running in saying Gigantor was a big jerk, and Gigantor yelling at him to shut up. And then it happened. What no kid should ever ever do. As Gigantor is walking back out of the house, the kiddo snaps. "Why don't you make me" Now I don't care who you are, you don't say that to one of your parents when they have told you to do something. I heard Gigantor screech to a halt and come charging back, he grabbed him, swung him around and smacked his ass. Just once, but enough to wake up the dead. Even though it was the right thing to do, again it was lovely to be woken up by those two fighting. sheesh.

Okay I'm gonna go drink my coffee and eat my multi berry pop tart. hehehehe

Have a good Monday everyone!!!

My Wish

Just want to wish every one a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May your turkey be juicy, your gravy have no lumps, your yams be sweet, and your pie be piled high with whip cream!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday?????

I shaved my fricken eyebrow off. Not meaning to mind you. I was trimming my eyebrows, with one of those tiny little personal trimmers. (note: I have those old man bushy eyebrows) And I put the little guard on it so it wouldn't cut so short. Well this little trimmer is cranky, and the guard DIDN'T WORK!!! So..I get half way done with one eyebrow and realize, well nice it's gone, not a little short, but down to the skin gone. Well...after you do half of one, you are pretty committed, so I just had to shave the rest of them off. Now most women would be like. Oh well, I have eyebrow pencil, I can draw one in. As you remember me saying. I have thick, dark eyebrows. I don't now nor ever have needed eyebrow pencil, so I don't have any. I just got a bald brow line. hehehehhee

On Saturday we did all our big "Thanksgiving" shopping. We are in the store, and I guess I didn't notice that the leg of this cart was like bent in. Well I turned around to talk to Gigantor about turkeys, and was turning the cart, and the son of a bitch fell on it's side. Yeah!! And when it flipped over, the handle slammed me right in the spine of my lower back. The same spine and lower back that gives me so much problems and will incapacitate me at times. Man that shit hurt. I should have dropped to the ground and threatened the store. But I'm not into those stupid fake lawsuits. Oh well.

In other news. When one of those colored fruit flavored mini marshmallows (remember those) is shot through a marshmallow gun at high speed, one should duck. Not watch the confection flying straight through the air at a high rate of speed, headed straight for your open eye. You should close your eye, you should not let the sugary confection shoot your right in your open eyeball. It will result in lots of screaming, and crying, and rubbing of your eye, and whimpering. Yeah yeah I know, Gigantor is such a baby. Stupid man shoulda shut his eye. hehehe

Have a good Monday everyone!!!!

Stop Poking Me

Me and Captain Daddy went and got our flu shots this morning. I was told I needed one cuz I got the flu last year. Let me tell you it was so miserable I don't want to do that again. hehehee

As soon as Gigantor gets home from work, we are gonna go shop our asses off for all the thanksgiving stuff. I want to get done so we can get this pig sty house cleaned for everyone coming over. Plus I like to put up Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Gigantor got a free turkey from work. 17lb turkey. They brought one out for all the guys. I swear this new job is such a blessing. He has gotten more stuff paid for and more freebies in the 6 months his been there, than he did in the entire 12 years he worked at the other place. In 12 years, he got no retirement, crap ass insurance, 1 tiny pocket knife, 2 t-shirts, 1 sweat shirt and one jacket.
In 6 months he's gotten. Work boots, coveralls, 6 t-shirts, 2 polo shirts, 3 sweat shirts, 3 hats, a reversible winter coat, and a turkey.

Gigantor also went down to the Ford dealer, cuz we got a flyer in the mail that said you would get a free turkey if you test drove a vehicle. He decided he wanted another free turkey. hehehehe After he test drove they didn't give a free turkey, they gave a 10 dollar walmart card. That would be one very very small ass turkey from walmart. That's one thing about walmart I don't like. None of their meat is decently priced. I am not paying 4 dollars a pound for hamburgers, or your stupid 2 to 4 dollars a pound for chicken and turkey. Idiots. I will go to one of our two other grocery stores and get the stuff on sale. Bashas has turkeys for .47 cents a pound. In your eye walmart!!!! I refuse to buy meat from walmart.

Well I could ramble on and on about a lot of stuff that doesn't mean a dam thing. But I think I will go eat Breakfast and get my butt to the stores.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!

GOOOOOOOOO BRONCO'S!!!!!!!!

Kiddo's football team (Bronco's) is doing so well. They have played 4 games. Won two of them. The two they lost was only by 1 pt. grrrrrrrrrrr lol

He has an awesome coach that wants to teach them the plays and proper way to do it. And doesn't really mind if they lose, as long as they have fun. But man...some of these kids sports coaches are something else. They have been screaming, and yelling and accusing the other teams kids of stuff. So loud that you can hear them across the field. And some of the parents?? ahhhh Give me a gun to shoot them all. One got into a major argument with the referee. The referee just said, well I'll take this shirt off and you can do it from now on. The ref, said "That's the rules, if you don't like it, take it up with the city sports director." They are national rules, just get the frick over yourselves people. Not like it would have helped, it would have given them 2 pts and we beat them by 10.

I'm in a little better state of mind than the other day. I was able to find three of the things I couldn't before. And that is good, cuz two of them were pressies from Santa. I'm still highly disappointed about the one place though.

I'm definatly gonna have to guzzle me some coffee today. I've had the hardest time waking up. But then again, I've got another bad bad case of insomnia. blaaaahhhh

Well....I'm boring, and don't have much else to say. I'll go see if I can be smart assy on your blogs. hehehehe
Happy Thursday all!!!!

Irritated as bad as Diaper Rash

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr How come every time you try to order something online (with a catalog in front of you) It says no such item?????

Or or or How come you get a new catalog in the mail and the very next day when you try to order stuff it says it's out of stock?????


Sometimes I hate companies, and the internet, and the sun, and waking up, and mutant dust bunnies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Okay gonna go beat my head on the wall a while.

Balloons, Fires, and Football

Well the guys did get to go up in a hot air balloon, not on Saturday but on Sunday they went. They almost chickened out. Being as moments before they were going to inflate their balloon, another balloon, started having problems. Touched down a couple times, then touched down and threw two people out, one of them being the pilot. As the two people tumbled out, the balloon shot 200 feet up in the air in about 2 seconds. As it shot up in the air, it caught fire. And the whole thing came down in a burning mass. Luckily with all the passengers, kids included, they only had on minor injury.

But....that scared Kiddo about half to death, and he didn't want to go for a ride after that. Captain Bill (the pilot of their balloon) went and talked to kiddo for quite a while, and Kiddo and Gigantor then went up for an hour or so. 12,000 feet up, couple miles all around our town, and the surrounding area. Fun stuff!!

Football season has started in town. Which Kiddo is doing. It's flag football for his age group. He is on the Bronco's GOOOOOOOOO BRONCO'SSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

They had their first game on Monday. They didn't get skunked, but they did lose. The little girl on the other team ran faster than lightning man. hehehehe They play again tonight. Hope they do a little better. Oh man, first game and kiddo lost his dam mouth guard. I think each football season I have to buy like 6 or 7 of those dam things. Thank god I haven't invested in the custom made one's yet. Those are a couple hundred bucks, and stupid kid would have lost it already.

Okay well I'm gonna go order some boots for Captain Daddy. I'm gonna try to catch up on reading blogs as well.

Happy Hump Day to all!!!

Busy ass week

God it's been a busy ass week. With football practices, Halloween, taekwondo, delivering avon, kiddo's play (today), getting my nails done (tomorrow) and a meeting (tomorrow). I am ready for a nap after all that, but Saturday is gonna be so much worse.

This three days of the weekend we have a balloon regatta. They fly every day. On Saturday mornings, the locals can go out to their landing site and help them pack up. That gets them some freebies sometimes. So after Gigantor and kiddo do that in the morning. We are going to go to a huge craft fair this town holds called Christmas in November. Then there is a small one at one of the churches. A harvest craft fair. I would then like to take the kids to see the Matinee. It's supposed to be Santa Clause 3. After that gets out, and street fair will be started in some parking lots along main street. At 4 main street will be shut down for the charity ball roll. People purchase a plastic ball for 10 bucks (goes to local families, the money raised) They go to the top of main street (it's on a good sized hill), put all the balls in a cement truck, roll them around, then dump them out. The ball that reaches the end of main street first wins. The person that purchased that ball, wins some sort of big prize. I think it's half the money raised.

As the sun starts setting, they re close main street, and the people with their balloons drive up. As it gets dark, they inflate them, and periodically do the gas in them so that it creates a glow. That last for about 2 hours. People can walk up and down main street to see the 50 balloons displayed, to talk to the pilots, and to get trading cards from them.

let me tell ya I'm gonna be one dead mama come Saturday night.

I know it's only Thursday, but with everything going on, I don't see me posting till after the weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
