What the hell just happened???? I mean last thing I remember is It was Friday and I was doing some Avon stuff. Then all of a sudden CHAOS, SCREAMING, HAIR ON FIRE, RUNNING AROUND, YELLING, PANTING, BOUNCING OFF OF WALLS...and the next thing I remember it was Monday morning and I was forcing medicine down kiddo's throat so he could go to school. To say my weekend was busy is a gross understatement. Let me share some of it.
Friday I was working on Avon stuff, so much so that I forgot to eat. I had a banana for breakfast. By the time my stomach was not gonna let me go any longer, I realized I had to go get kiddo. So...I went and picked up our friend D, and we went and got some food at a local fast food joint called RD's (best food you've ever eaten) We go pick up kiddo and eat, I even got kiddo a couple small kids cheeseburgers. We then go to the post office cuz I had to pick up some packages. Come home and work on kiddo's homework. He had a 12 page anger management thing to do with me. I only thought he was short tempered but not that bad, till I seen some of his thinking on these worksheets. I feel like such a bad mom that my son has a real problem with anger, and how to manage it. (insert insane mom wailing here) Gigantor comes home, and we take D back home. Then we hit Safeway and Bashas, and walk our asses all through both stores doing our thanksgiving shopping. But I was also wanting to get done, so we did it all in just over an hour. pant pant pant.
Saturday we got up early to start attacking my pig sty. Every weekend we have had some big function in town or been up working at mom's place, and neglecting our place. Well...we are having company for Thanksgiving, so it was time to attack our sty. Not only were we cleaning, but I was trying to box up some stuff on shelves temporarily, so I can decorate for Christmas. We like to decorate the three days after Thanksgiving. So...I wanted to be prepared. We cleaned and packed and packed and cleaned without stopping till about noon. Then we drove up to the airport to get my daddy's ticket for Christmas. I walked my happy ass all the way in that airport to find out that they close between 11 and 5 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Drive over to a ladies house to pick up some books, that she wanted me too, to only find out she isn't home either. Drive to true value to realize I forgot the check book. double grrrrrrrrrrrrr come home and start working our asses off again. clean clean, scrub scrub, pack pack, pant pant. D shows up and sits and stares at us cleaning. HA 4:30 head back up town. Walk my happy ass back into the airport, and get daddy's ticket. Drive by ladies and pick up books. Go to true value, find the surge protector power strips I want, attempt to leave, have Gigantor decide he needs some PVC and joints to fix our laundry hamper. Go sit in suburban with D and Kiddo, wait for 40 minutes while Gigantor plays in the PVC. Go to post office. Come home, clean oven and stove top. Gigantor works on dinner. Then we all sat down to watch a couple movies. Kung Fu Hustle. let me tell you, I liked it much better on DVD than in the theater. In the theater it had subtitles and I spent the entire movie reading them to kiddo. On DVD you could pick it to be in english (insert angelic singing here) We enjoyed it much better, and it's funny as hell. Then we watch House of Wax. Amazingly enough this was a very very good movie. Only bad part in it was Paris-Crack Whore-Hilton. Thank god she got killed really gross like. hehehehe Other than that though it was a pleasant surprise of a movie. After D went home, we continued to work on part of the house.
Sunday we got up before 8. Isn't that a mortal sin to get up before 8 on a weekend??? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh We started in on a few things we had to do, then we got a call from the airport. They forgot to charge us for part of daddy's ticket. I would have liked to say "TOUGH SHIT" But then I'm sure they wouldn't have let daddy fly. So..we took off up there to go pay that. Then we went and picked up Big J and went and got gas in the suburban, then went uptown to the theater. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have been waiting since the last movie for this one. Awesome, just awesome.
Movie got out at 3 and we ran to Safeway to get all the shit we forgot on Friday night. Came home and worked on dishes, put eggs and yams to boil on (made a sweet potato salad) got the baby back ribs on the grill. Then I made tons of phone calls for all the last minute Avon orders. Big J's mom came and got him. I finished the salad, snapped some asparagus and put it on to steam. Then dinner was done, and I realized we still haven't done the floors or cleaned the guest bathroom. grrrrrrrrrrrrr Sat down to eat dinner and watched the remake of the Poseidon Adventure. I can honestly say, it was good, not great, but I liked the first one way way better. Sat and stamped all the new Avon books I have to give out today. Got into bed about 11. Decided to let Gigantor sleep. Decided Nahhhhh at about 11:50 and woke him up and jumped his lazy bones. hehehehe
Now we are to this morning, where Kiddo woke up sick as a dog, and I pushed meds down him and took him to school anyway. They only have to go today and tomorrow. sheesh. Although I think I will make him stay home and not go to football practice tonight.
I am outa here, I need to go collect another order (I have to sit and visit with this old lady to get her to order, but she orders big so I do it) And deliver books, and try to get into that bathroom to scrub it.
Happy Monday everyone!!!!!!!
(insert insane coocoo laugh here)

Witches Tit
OMG we went to that 7 o'clock game on Tuesday, and it was colder than a witches tit outside. ahhhhhhhhhhh They keep the sprinklers going during the day on the grass. So you get down there, and the grass is wet, and the ground is spongy and it's just fricken cold. We get down there, in sweaters, coats, scarf's (I need a hat) gloves and had a blanket, and a mug of hot cocoa, and I still shivered through most of it. On the bright side. We WON!!!!!!!!!!! yayyyyyyyyy our first game ever we lost 40 to 6 uggghhhh 2nd game was 40 to 20 we lost. This game was 21 to 26 we won!!!!!!!!! yayyyyyyyy The boys are really getting better. Anyhow we are sitting there thinking it's cold, but the boys are braving it so maybe we are wimps, and a mom comes along and goes. "the radio said it's 37 degrees out" You know it just seemed so much colder once she told us the temp. I hate it when people do that. heheheh
Yesterday just sorta came and went in a fluff of feathers. Nothing much to report, other than I found a peanut in my bra. hehehehe
What is going on with the moon or planets. Cuz my fricken animals are just pissing me the hell off. After you go to bed, they whine or meow to be let out, you let them out then they scratch to be let in, then they pace pace pace all around the fricken house. Or if they are your fat ass, multi toed, retarded cat, they walk all over your chest, and when you throw him across the room he comes back and does it some more, and swipes at your face for good measure. I swear to god, I'm gonna shoot them all in the head.
And speaking of weird animal behavior. WHY THE FUCK DOES BUCK (old bassett) have to do the humping air thing whenever he goes outside?? The minute he walks out on the porch (which is usually when I open the door cuz someone is here) he starts doing the hump hump humpity hump thing. It's fricken embarrassing I tell you. All these people looking at my pervie dog.
I was driving kiddo to school this morning, thinking it was pretty dam chilly, and thinking I was just a wimp that early in the morning. When the radio announced it was 34 degree's out. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I was cold cold cold. hehehehehe
We got another football game tonight, but it's at 5 thank god. Football pictures are gonna be taken too. Wish us luck!!!
Happy Thursday everyone!!!!

God I'm Boring
Gads I am so boring today. Not a dam thing is really going on with me. Wanna know what's going on. I'm watching an infomercial, and eating my breakfast of a banana, and fat free ritz crackers with sugar free peanut butter and sugar free jelly on them. SeEeEEEeEe..... boring!!!
Yesterday from being so dang tired over the weekend. Both Kiddo and I woke up not feeling to well. He is feeling much better today, thank goodness. Me on the other hand...I had a wacked dream all night. I dreamt that someone was beating me up. All fricken night, and I was fighting them all night. I woke up so dam tired and exhausted. I'm sure there is some hidden meaning in that dream somewhere. But frankly I'm not sure if I give a dam. hehehehehe I just want some sleep people.
We have a football game at 7 tonight. What the hell???? 7 fricken o'clock for a bunch of little kids???? Insane I tell you. Plus it's cooled down to the 40's by then. Good grief. Thank god It's the only one at 7 this whole season. I guess the coach is gonna have pizza delivered for the kids after the game. And...the ass volunteered us to bring soda's. *sigh*
Seems as if my gerbils pervieness has passed. Until next month that is.
OOooOOoO did anybody see CSI Miami last night. OMG WOLF GOT SHOT WITH A NAIL GUN IN THE EYE!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH MY EYE IS STILL WATERING AND TWITCHING!!!!!!! *shudder*
Okay see, told you I was boring. Gonna go finish my crackers.
Happy Tuesday all!!!!

Thank Goodness
Thank Goodness it's the week so I can start recuperating from my weekend. hehehehehehe
Friday Kiddo didn't have any school. And I was basking in the fact that I could sleep in on Friday. But NoOoOoOoOo his little friend called early in the morning, telling Kiddo he was riding his bike over so he could play. They just informed me later. So....I had to jump up and hurry and get dressed. After Gigantor got off work we were gonna go deliver some avon books and run a couple errands before I had to go to a sales meeting. But when we stepped outside we realized that kiddo's friend had left the gate open, and my two old dogs were GONE. We spent 40 minutes driving around before we found the shit heads. Then it was time to boogy to my meeting.
Saturday we woke up early, and went and dug a pomegranate tree out of an abandoned lot (we asked the right people permission) Then we planted it in our yard. Then we went up to a craft fair called Christmas In November that is done every year. Got a couple little things. We then went over to mom's and worked on her yard, we have to get that looking better before people start complaining. But when we moved an outside table that was trashed, and found about a million cockroaches, and had to go on a poisoning spree. We got a little creeped out, and decided to go. hehehehe Took Kiddo to a birthday party, and delivered avon, and took Gigantors coveralls over to be sewn up. Then came home and ordered out for food. hehehehe chinese. There was no way I could cook after a day like that. Then we watched a movie.
Yesterday was almost as equally busy. I just wanna sleep all week if I could. heheheheh
We watched a movie with Kiddo---Dragons Metal Ages. It's a sequel to the Dragons Fire and Ice we watched last week. It was really really good. I hope they make another one.
We also watched Batman Begins. That was actually a very good movie. Goes all the way into where the first one with Michael Keaton would begin. I was impressed.
We can hardly wait till Saturday. Gonna go watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. whoooohooooo
Okay I'm gonna go eat some breakfast.
Happy Monday everyone.

Overactive Sex Drive
And Nooooooo I'm not talking about me. Had you hoping huh?? hehehehe
Here's a questions. Do gerbils have a cycle. Like a once a month cycle like most other female animals do?? I would think so, and that could explain some urges, but if not, then hell, they are just wacked.
As some of you may remember we got 3 gerbils back in August (pet shop said they were three females) But when we got home and they started acting weird. I was convinced there was a little boy gerbil in their midst. One of my three was a little horny boy. So...I looked up a gerbils gestational cycle and it said 21 days. So I waited... and I waited...and I prayed...and no babies (thank god) But they still seemed to be getting it on. So...I thought to myself "maybe they were to young last month" So...again, I waited..and waited... still no babies. So in the past three months watching these little creatures I have come to a conclusion. I OWN THE THREE MOST PERVERTED RODENTS IN THE WORLD. I'm telling you people, I got the perviest gerbils.
About once a month, for 4 or 5 days out of the month, it's like a girl on girl orgie in their cage. You will look up and one is chasing another, jumping on it's back and dry humping the hell out of it. One will be asleep, and another will come up and dry hump it's side, back, face, anything!!! Then they commit gang rape. Two will attack one, hold it down and both hump from both sides. Till the little victim is so fed up it bites one in the little gerbil hoohaa. Then a gerbil brawl ensues, then they are back to dry humping each other.
I swear about 4 or 5 days a month, my gerbil cage is completely XXX rated. You would think that for sure I would have a male in there. But it's not just one doing the humping. All three of them are going around banging each other.
I feel so dirty after an evening of watching this. I need to go shower now. *shudder*
Wish us luck, another football game tonight. Kiddo says he's ready to kill the quarterback!!!!
Happy Thursday everyone.
We all have tomorrow off for veterans day. If any of you gotta work then I say to you . Neiner neiner neiner. hehehehehehe

I Will Squish You Like A Bug
Take note you dumb ass highly retarded drivers in my town. LEARN HOW TO FUCKING DRIVE OR I WILL SQUISH YOU LIKE A BUG, MY SUBURBAN WILL RUN OVER YOUR DUMB ASS, AND GOD WILL THANK ME FOR RIDDING THE WORLD OF SUCH A MASSIVE FUCKTARD DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay I feel better now.
Along the squish like a bug lines. Kiddo had his first football game last night. He's never played football before, and they only had about 5 practices before his first game. (flag football league folks) Now Kiddo is built for football people. Picture a 9 year old boy, shaved head, almost 5 feet tall, and weighs 137 pounds. He is definatly his fathers son. Big BIG and HUGE!!!! Him and I are wearing the same size shoes almost. Any how back to football. All the kids are in and scrambling around. Nobody on our team has played football before. 9 out of the 10 kids on the other team have played for 3 years or more. (seems real fair huh??) Well our quarterback kept getting sacked (his flag pulled off) And when the other team snapped the ball, our kids just stood there (kiddo wasn't in to play yet) and then they tried to get the flag of the person the quarterback threw the ball too. But the QB had plenty of time to size up everyone and make a good throw.
Now enters Kiddo. He's standing there with a look like he would rather be somewhere else. The ball is snapped, kiddo charges straight for the QB and upsets the quarterback so bad he throws the ball to his DAD to his dad people!!!! I mean I would probably be intimidated if I seen that big hulk of a kid running at me too. I start cheering kiddo on, and go, "that's right son, you go get his flag every time!!!" Nobody told him to go after the QB, the coach just told him to go after the "guy with the ball" So....the other team had like 5 touchdowns and we had nothing. And then my baby Gigantor started charging their QB. Their QB then threw two interceptions, 3 incompletes, and threw the ball away a number of times. Kiddo STOPPED the other teams ball from going very far the rest of the game. Gave us a chance to run a couple touchdowns. For a child that has probably zero, not a little zero, but a big fat ZERO, athletic ability. I think we may have found his nitch.
We have another game tomorrow night, lets see what happens.
Oh and on a side note, he intimidated the other QB so much that they sent in a really big guy to be quarter back. hehehehe To bad it isn't tackle football. I'm sure kiddo would have most sacks of the season. lmaooooo
Happy Humpity Hump Day Everyone!!!!!!

Busy weekend
I love the way this picture came out. When we were on the mountain picking pinons. We found this lone aspen tree all yellow in among the pines. And the sun was shining right on it. Sooooo pretty.
Man we had a busy weekend. Saturday we got woken up to the sound of hot air balloons. We went outside and they were going right over our house. Gigantor and Kiddo got up on the roof to see them better. They seen one shaped as rocky the squirrel. Then they noticed that the balloons were landing at the sports complex, which is just down the way and across a street from us. So...Gigantor and kiddo jumped on the 4 wheeler and went over there, and helped the people pack their balloons away. Had a good time, and got some pictures.
We then went to the airport, and got info on the stuff I need for daddy coming up to visit. Then we went and picked up big J (remember him, he is pantyhose lad) And drove down to the horse corrals and looked at all the horses. Came across some friends, and let the boys pet their horse and goat. We then went to see Chicken Little. OMG what a good movie. This movie was great. I didn't know if they could make it that good, but it was.
When we came out of the movie, the police were starting to block off main street. It was almost time for the ball race. People purchase balls, that have a number on them, then they put all the balls in a cement truck and emptied it at the top of main street and let them roll down. The winning ball got the owner 2000 bucks. The rest of the money went to local charities for the holiday season. (don't you just love small town activities)
After the ball race we walked around the street fair they had set up. Seen lots of cool things, but I was good and didn't buy anything. We head over to the coke truck and got drinks and the boys got some cookies. Then we made a bee line for a little place called "Big Johns Texas BBQ" he comes to all the festivals and fairs. He smokes brisket. I don't know what he does, but it is sooooo tender and juicy. And they sell it either on the bun for $6 or in two tortillas for 6$ Then they have bbq sauce on the side you can add to it. We go sit on a bench that is right along our main street. (luckly we got a parking space right behind that) and we started eating.
It was getting dusk as we were eating, and bunch of trucks with trailers pulled up on main street and started unloading their balloons. 22 in total. Gigantor and the boys went over to help a guy who was unloading one right in front of us. Then as it got dark they blew up the balloons and it's called a balloon "glow" they stay for about 45 minutes to a half hour, just doing the flame thingie to keep the balloons inflated. We got tons of pictures, as soon as I download them I will start posting them. Then people can walk around looking at the balloons and going up talking to the people. And if you ask them, most of the people have cards (like trading cards) made up of their balloons with information about them printed on the back. The boys wandered up and down main street a couple times with friends, then Gigantor took them up and down collecting cards. I stayed so when they ran back, they could find me. But, where that bench was, I had a front row seat. Two balloons almost directly in front of me, and I could see all the way up and down the main street at the rest. I'm sure we had over 1000 people out looking around.
The balloons stopped their glow and packed up about 8. Gigantor was helping them pack up and I was over by the suburban talking to big J's parents that showed up to get him. In the mean time, kiddo forgets there is a curb from where the suburban is to get onto the sidewalk where the bench is. He walked right into the curb, and tripped and fell on his face. He made this sickening sound. I was sure he crushed his skull in on the pavement. He started screaming OOOOWWWWIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!! And I ran over and tried to get him up and untangled from the curb and from under the bench where he landed. I am trying to lift up my 135lb child. All the time pissed off that Gigantor isn't there with us, so he could be helping and checking him out. I get Kiddo sat down on the bench and check him out, and then I flip around with flame shooting out of my eyes. And start yelling at Big J's dad and D (our friend) who just stood there staring at us and not helping. I was so pissed off. What kind of fuck head doesn't help when it sounds like a child has fallen and left brain matter on the ground??? Obviously those two fuck heads!!!!!!!! I turn to Goober (big J's mom) and say "I can't believe how insensitive those two fuck heads are" (meaning D and her husband) And worst part was, she agreed with me. Gigantor comes back after off playing with some of the balloon guys, instead of hanging out with his family, and I was pissed. I wouldn't even let him look over Kiddo. I pack me and kiddo in the suburban and we went home, and I got him ice and chocolate when we got home, that helps everything. hehehehee
Kiddo got a big big bruise on his shin, and he sprained his wrist and pinkie on his left hand, and he got bad bruises on the heals of his hands. YOu know how hard you have to hit to bruise the heel of your hands, that's not easy. Anyway.....that was our long ass, but fun Saturday (except the fall) (but hey he's as graceful as Gigantor so what can I say)
Yesterday we watched movies. We watched the new Amytiville Horror. It was real good I thought, the special effects have improved tons since the first movie. The book is still the scariest though. And I'm not sure if I liked that they changed Jodi into a little girl. In the book and first movie Jodi was a demonic pig with red eyes. But it all worked in this movie.
We watched Kingdom of Heaven. It was pretty good. The fighting seemed more accurate for the time period than alot of movies. And who doesn't lust errr ummm like Orlando Bloom??? hehehehe
We also watched one for kiddo called Dragons Fire and Ice. IT's a computer animated movie actually made after the mega blocks toys of the dragons series. (which he has) It was really quite a good and cute movie. I love dragons and they did them really well. And the story line was good. We are getting the Dragons Metal Ages next. It's a sequel.
Well....I have to pee, so I'm off for now. Enjoy the aspen picture at the top.
Happy Monday everyone!!!!

Cannibal Pumpkin
This is probably my favorite pumpkin that was carved at the pumpkin festival. I think it's great. hehehehee
I just love that pumpkin.
Well I didn't get my nails done today. Goober didn't feel well, so I have an appointment for in the morning. yayyyyyyyy
I'm making Gigantor work so hard for dinner tonight. When I say work so hard, I mean drive to the pizza place to pick it up. hehehehe
My bra is hard at work again. I've been finding the most bizarre things in there lately. Why can't I find something really worth while like money or gems, or a krispy kreme donut??? NoOOOooO just bizaro stuff, among the regular stuff. Like what I eat every single day. Kiddo was throwing around this plastic bouncy ball the other day and it made a basket in my bra. Boy did he giggle. Gigantor was shooting the marshmallow shooter at Kiddo and he shot it at him by my bed. I was in the bathroom doing my hair. The marshmallow wizzed past kiddo, hit the mirror and bounced into my bra. Oui!!!
Anyhow, that's all that is of any interest today, and not that it is any interesting. hehehee I'm gonna go bang my head on the wall, and decide if I'm gonna take a short nap or not. Probably not, cuz then I'll be cranky. heheheh
Happy Thursday!!!!!!!

Sat....I need to go to the airport and get the info to get my dad's ticket for Christmas, take kiddo and big J to the matinee (Chicken Little) looks hilarious, watch the ball race down main street, (you can purchase a plastic ball, about softball size, and they are putting them in a cement truck and launching them down our main street which is on a hill, winner gets 1/2 the money from it, and local food banks and charities get the other half), then they are having a street fair and a balloon glow all down main street. We are having the hot air balloon regatta in town this weekend, and they do a glow at night. 50 some odd balloon and baskets set up on main street and you can climb around in them, and talk to the people and pull the thing to do the fire thingie (don't know the technical term) and it's all sorts of fun. I'll need a week to rest after all this. LOL
Short and sweet again today. I will leave you all with another fun thing. Go try Hangman
Happy Wed everyone!!!!

Cat Bowling
Well trick or treating was a success. We went to a slightly richer part of town. hehehehe All the good stuff is over there. Kiddo went as Darth Vader, and he went with J--who was a girl, and he went with little M who was Sully from Monsters Inc. Half way through J's high heels started hurting his feet. hehehe Half way through Kiddo's helmet, the eyes got foggy from his breathing, and when the sun went down since it was a shaded helmet he couldn't see. So...he too, it off and just went as a jedi instead. I was mad at his teacher. Most teachers didn't give homework last night. She loaded them down, big page of math, spelling and reading. I was ticked. Anyhow someone sent me something in the e-mail last night. It was so fun. Gigantor could only get a 66. I got a score of 110. Lets see if you can beat it. Have fun with CAT BOWLING!!
Happy Tuesday everyone. Got football practice tonight. hehehehe

Fun Weekend
OH what a fun couple of days it's been. Yesterday (Friday) Gigantor got sent home at lunch, because it had been raining all day. He can't work outside in the rain to well. He came home and we started running errands. Went to the bank, went to put payment on our couch, went to get a burger for lunch, went and got gas in the suburban, went to Bashas and spend 155 bucks on groceries, went to get kiddo, went and checked mail, went to walmart and got 115 bucks worth of stuff, came home and had to do the Avon order, made dinner, and died on the couch. heheheheeh
Today Kiddo and Gigantor went down to the sports complex, because they had something called Punt and Pass Saturday. All the kids that signed up to play NFL FLAG Football this season were invited. Well...Gigantor helped them out where they needed volunteers. Some people with the Arizona Cardinals football team were up here running the thing. When they came home, they were so excited. Gigantor had an Az Cards t-shirt, and a key chain, and a flop had that is black with the emblem on one side, then it's reversible and it's red camo on the other side with the emblem. Kiddo got, a back pack in black and red with Cards emblem, and a NFL FLAG football jersey black on one side, and then it's reversible and white on the other. He got a baseball cap with the card emblem, and a big emblem medallion on a string of big red beads (the beads were footballs) And a big poster of the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleading team. That daddy seemed much more excited about than Kiddo.
Then we went and picked up his friend K. We took them up to the Pumpkin Festival in the park. They had tons of carved pumpkins. They had the giant blow up obstacle courses and the blow up foam jousting arena. A giant giant giant bounce house, and a rock climb. They had some vendors with crafts, and more food booths than I have ever seen. We were starting to look around the park, and K ran up and asked if I would give him one more dollar so he could buy a marshmallow shooter. I said, "hold on K, lets walk all through the park first, then decide what we are gonna buy" So...I'm off looking at some crafts, and I turn around and K is putting something in a box, and all excited. I go, "what did you get?" he goes "a hermit crab" I think to myself OMG HIS MOTHER IS GONNA KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!! cuz I know I would be ticked if kiddo brought home another pet, and defiantly if it was a pet that I had to scrounge to find a habitat and the food, and everything. Oh I was sweating it so bad, the rest of the day. I could have rung his little neck. hehehehe
All the kids in the town wore their costumes. There was a costume contest, but we were too late for that. But they had trick or treating at all the vendors booths. The boys got a plastic bag about 1/4 full of candy and treats. They had tons and tons of live entertainment. I didn't know our community had so many talented musicians. Then they shot off a candy cannon about 7 times or so.
I ate a funnel cake for the very first time in my life. I didn't even know what one was till now. hehehehe
On the way out of the park, we got a funnel cake for everyone to share, a med size bag of fresh roasted cinnamon covered almonds, and a big bag of Kettle Korn. The boys got a snowie. We then went to K's house to drop off his stuff and see if he could come play. His mom came out, and said, well why don't you let kiddo stay here and have dinner, and we will all go up to the pumpkin lighting at 6 or so and I'll bring him home at 7. Okay that is cool!!! So...I then apologize a ton about the hermit crab. But K kept telling me his mom was gonna love it, and I didn't believe him. But...he knew best. His mom loved it. hehehehee
We came home, cleaned house, paid bills, roasted pinon's, then D came over, and we visited with him. Kiddo came home and we all ate some dinner and watched Unleashed. It was a pretty good movie. My favorite Jet Li movie is still THE ONE but it was still good.
Tomorrow we are cleaning pet cages, cleaning floors, carving a pumpkin, baking cookies for kiddo's Halloween party, cooking a nice big beef roast with veggies and trimmings, and gonna sit the family down and watch Haunted Mansion for Halloween. hehehehehee
I added a cute ass picture here. I was just in such a good mood that I added it cuz it makes me laugh.
Enjoy and have a good Sunday everyone.
If I don't post before then, please everyone have a happy and very very safe Halloween!!!
Just thought I would leave you with a picture of my most favorite birthday present I got. I know my birthday was a while back, but I just did something with the pictures. Notice the windchimes in the background (I collect those) And dragons on the shelf (I collect those also) Gigantor did good getting this oh so very cute zebra on a swing at that wild life park in Texas.

Thing While I was Sick
Orange for Halloween!!!! I'll try not to make this post to awfully long with everything that has been going on.
Two weeks ago, I thought I was dying. He I was so sick. I've been needing a couple things for the house in a bad way. I need a new kitchen table. I want one with a leaf so I can make it smaller or bigger. Ours--the legs are rickety, and the leaf has some broken pieces so it doesn't sit straight. I also very big time needed another couch and love seat. Mine were so worn out. I had had them for 10 years, and I bought them used from my aunt that had them maybe 10 or 15 years. They were in great shape when I got them, but now... Now they are all flat, and the bottom falling out. I had foam padding in between the couch and cushions, and pillows on top and it was still so low to the ground. So....Friday, two weeks ago. Gigantor comes home for lunch. And goes, "honey, Bruces Easy Rent, had a bunch of couch and love seats outside" I'm like OOoh. He says "yeah they had all of them selling as is, and there were expensive one's and a couple that were only 349 for the set" I'm like "Dayummmmmm what's wrong with them" He goes.."well....umm....they are purple, one is dark purple and one is light purple" I'm gagging cuz I hate purple, but dam we needed another couch and love seat in a bad bad way. So...I say "lets go look anyway" So...we drive down there, and Gigantor points and goes "seee" I look, I take off my shades and look, I put them back on and look. Then I slap his arm and go "YOU DORK" And take of his shades, and say "they are black and brown DUMBASS" He goes "Oh shit, my shades made them look purple" well duh!! So...we get out and look, They are both suede sets. They were repo's that they couldn't sell for the past 3 months so they marked them down to 349 bucks for the set. The black one was nice only a couple dirty spots, but the cushions were a little flat. The brown set is a dark chocolate brown, and the love seat has a couple light spots like cleaner was splashed there. I was told how to fix that. Fucking A, a higher, newer, genuine suede couch and love seat set that is only a year old!!! I go in and start signing paper work baby. Best part is, we only have to pay 50 bucks a month, and they delived them. Better than the price is THEY AREN'T PURPLE!!!!
Tuesday a week ago, was kiddo's school play. Gigantor was in it. It was about Freedom and American hero's. So...he was in his heavy ass fire "bunkers" (the big yellow pants and coat they wear" He sweated his ass off on stage, but it was for the kids, so anything for them. After the play we went down to the Kawasaki place to pick up our new baby. Two months of hard labor and crunching the numbers to figure out we could afford it. We have always known we would get 4 wheelers eventually (one of our goals) And we came across and excellent sale. It's a 650 Kawasaki. And we really started looking into it, when gas started killing us. We got an extended cab truck and a suburban people. We wanted to get one street legal so Gigantor could drive it to and from work and the fire dept. And on the plus side, we can load it in the truck and take it up to the mountain and out to the lake. So...we come across a screaming sale and deal. We got the 4 wheeler, got it street legal, got saddle bags for it, and got two helmets for 49 bucks a month for the first two years. The good part of that is...in just over a year we will have cleared up a bill that is 300 bucks a month, so we can easily put 200 a month on the 4 wheeler and still be saving money. The other plus is that every week we were getting 50 bucks in gas in Gigantors truck to squeeze by. We got gas this week in the 4 wheeler---nine dollar and fitty cents. Whoooo flippin hoooooo
On Wed of last week had to take two of the dogs to the vet. One check up and one allergy shot, for 75 bucks.
Thursday, we had parent teacher conferences. I won't get all the way into it. But lets just say I was ready to do battle with them. Kiddo was failing math and spelling, and it was their fault, cuz his regular teacher and special ed teacher (cuz he's behind in reading and timed work) never met and got on the same page. Poor kiddo was doing 4 to 5 hours of homework a night (4th grade people) And I was pissed the fuck off!!! Anyhow, met with them both at the same time. Got everyone on the same page. Told to disregard his report card it would be fixed next 9 weeks. Also given different class work and homework. Now only between 1/2 to 1 and a half hours of homework a night.
Weekend we cleaned house, put up Halloween decorations, and got the last part of his costume made (cape for darth vader) I just have to get some light sticks. He has black pants, black long sleeve shirt, black gloves, black cape, and a voice changing helmet. So he is gonna have a couple light sticks on his front and a couple on his back. He will be carrying a light saber and I'm gonna make him keep it turned on.
With how busy I was, it's no wonder that I could just not get well. I kept taking my meds. I finished my antibiotics on Monday, but I still don't feel all the way better. I can not for the life of me get rid of this cough. I take cold and cough thera flu, and then two thera flu cough strips and cough drops each night and it's iffy if I get any sleep cuz of the coughing.
I think I have updated you all for the past couple weeks. I really tried to keep it short. hehehehe
On a side note. My friend Phoenix over at Nest of the Phoenix --Said there is gonna be some big announcement soon. And everybody knows I have no patience so I keep bugging him about it. But he's not budging. Help a girl out would ya, and go over there and see if you can guess, like I have been doing.
Happy Hump Day All!!!
P.S. Spell check said for Kawasaki--should be Sausage
hehehehe

Weekend update
Well we decided to go pinon picking again on Saturday. This time we didn't go to the Kaibab, we went the other direction. We went out by Navajo Mountain. There were tons of tree's out there. We picked up Gigantors friend D, and kiddo's friend Big J. When Big J comes out of his house, he screams "I'M WEARING PANTYHOSE" apparently his dad told him about how some hunters will wear pantyhose to help keep them warm. So....Big J went and asked his mom if he could wear her pantyhose. She gave him a pair of red leotards. But he kept calling them panty hose. So... we start our 50 mile drive to our destination. And Gigantor is driving, i'm in the front seat, and D is behind me. The kiddo and Big J are in the third seat. They are playing pretend and keeping a pretty good chatty pace, and us adults were having a rather loud rambunctious conversation also. Well...a lull in the conversation happened. About two seconds after the silence we hear kiddo scream "IT'S THE ADVENTURES OF UNDERWEARS MAN AND PANTY HOSE LAD!!!" I horked orange juice out of my nose, and started cracking up so bad I almost peed my pants. Gigantor goes "WHAT THE HELL??" and started laughing so hard he almost drove us off the road. And D was laughing so hard I think he cracked a rib. Kiddo and Big J innocently go "what??" OMG OMG OMG it was so funny. So then the boys caught on that it was funny, and started their giggling.
The directions the Navajo gentleman that works with Gigantor were great. Turn left at Navajo Mountain, and go around 15 miles give or take and turn right at the big windmill. And there are tree's everywhere. Well...he was dead on, it was perfect. Let me just say that yes we were all covered in sap, and it was hard work, but we have over 10lbs of pinons now. Now I just have to wash them up and cook them.
We built a fire, cuz 1. it was chilly and 2. we needed to cook lunch. Hot
dogs and smores again. hehehehee I'm sitting close to the fire, D on my right, Gigantor and Kiddo on my left, and Big J right across from me. I was holding the marshmallow bag passing them out, and my sappy hand/arm was stuck to my shirt, but I didn't realize that. After everyone is armed with little white puffs of sugary heaven. I decide to put the bag back on the table, which is to my left and sorta behind me. As I start to put the bag away, I realized my shirt was stuck to my hand. How I realized that, is I pulled it all the way up and almost off my head. I just sorta innocently go, OooOps. And I look up and Big J's eyes are about as big as the marshmallows. I'm like "did I flash you Big J??" he nods his head yes. I go "my stomach or full boob" and everyone is giggling by now. And Big J goes "I got the double wammie!!" Well we all started laughing to the point of peeing our pants again. Then D and Gigantor say, "dam we should have sat across from you" hehehehe
The place we were at, is all sandy, like our town. And we don't have ordinary sand. It's not soft like beach sand, it's not fine like dirt. It's really very grainy, sorta like salt. And it's bright red. This sand is soo deep that it's easy to get stuck and when you walk around it covers your entire foot, sometimes coming up to your ankles. It's a great work out I tell you. For some reason my son could not stay on his feet. Almost eveywhere he went, he face planted. He was booking it back to me to show me some rocks he found and put the pinons in the bucket. And he goes flying right on his face, and exclaims "OH MANNNNNNNNN" He spilled all his goodies and had to pick them back up. The good thing is, since that sand is to deep and so loose, it sorta cushions your fall. We knew every time the kiddo fell. The forest was riddled with "OH MANNNNNNN'S " every few minutes. It was so dang funny.
At 4:30 it began to rain really hard. (we had dealt with sprinkles all day) so we decided to come home. On the drive home, we heard about lots of adventures of Underwear Man and Pantyhose Lad!!! They even made up poses for themselves. After we got home, Big J's dad came down to pick him up. As soon as he walks in the door. Kiddo announces, " My mom showed Big J both her boobs!!!!" His dad was like WHAAAAUUUUUUUTTTTT?? He was laughing, and when we told him the story, he was doubled over. Then the boys told him about their super hero's. I'm not sure if Big J's parents are ever gonna let me have him again. I mean I corrupt him by showing him my ta ta's and then he is going around calling himself "PANTYHOSE LAD"
Okay that had me laughing all over again. I'm gonna go do something. I don't know yet, but I'm sure it will be something. heheheheh
Happy Monday all!!!!

Good News
My suburban was making the worst noise. It sounded like there were gnomes tinkering around in the engine as I drove. It was louder than a diesel. I was sure the engine was just gonna up and fall out of it at any moment. Our friend who works on alot of cars, told us it was the alternator (bearing on it) Gigantor and I started pricing alternators. Cheapest one we found was 110 bucks, and a belt for 30. But we sorta remembered that we had the alternator rebuilt a while back. Well...I couldn't find any paperwork in the 2005 file. So Gigantor pulled out the old file box, and we found it.

Doo Dads
That's all I have is little doo dads of stuff today.
Yesterday--My old man (Buck the Bassett) fell down the porch when we went out, and he sorta just layed on his side and back and couldn't get up. So...in my mad scramble to get down to help him, I slip and land on my ass on the side of the step. So I got cornered in the crack I guess you would say. Dog is fine, he was just stunned. Kiddo sure thought my episode was hilarious. So did the lady across the street. Got Buckers back inside and let him sleep on a cushie blankie.
Also...what the fuck with me falling lately. I tripped over the cat scratching post, and luckily the wall was right there, cuz I was gonna fall people and it caught me. That was on my way to the bathroom. Get in the front guest bathroom, and pull down my pants, and the fucking rug slipps right the hell out from under me. I slip, my feet fly forward and up, and I fall with a KERPLOP. Thankfully I fell right on the toilet where I wanted to be. And double lucky that we have cushie seats. But it did protest by making a loud whooooosssshhhhh noise when I fell on it. Of course after my shock. I giggled alot after word.
The wind is blowing about 45mph here today. Realized we gotta trim the tree in the back, it sounds like someone trying to bang down the house.
And I haven't shaved my legs or armpits in about 5 months. My legs are so hairy, they are scary. hehehehe I better get to that today, but with my luck, I'll cut a major artery and bleed to death.
Anywhooo. I have a very important question today. Wonder if any of you can help me with.
WHY IN THE HELL DOES KIDDO HAVE TO LEAVE HIS DIRTY UNDERWEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF MY COUCH EVERY FRICKEN DAY?????????
Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!

Pinons and Flaming Crotches
Well Saturday we went up to the mountain to go pinon picking. We got Dorko's advice a little to late. hehehee We were covered in sap. And of course I forgot to take any soap. So we had to scrub our hands with dirt. The kids got bored really fast, cuz there were no critters running about down in the pinon pines. And it was way hotter near them, then up around the ponderosa and aspens. So....we only ended up picking about an hour or two. And it was our first try, so we hadn't perfected any technique yet. We know what we are gonna do next time, and it should be much faster and much more productive.
Anyhow about 1 or so, we decide to drive up into the ponderosa and take a back road to go find a clearing and make a fire and have lunch and smores hehehehe
We go on this road (if you can call it a road) a very "less traveled" road. And got down in this little canyon, and followed it for about a half hour. Then we pulled off and dug a fire pit, set the boys to collecting fire wood. And roasted hot dogs. It was way chilly up there too, after we got out of the Pinon pines. So we had coats on, and all had our chairs pretty close to the fire. After hot dogs we roasted marshmallows and made smores. The boys kept throwing pine needles and little sticks on the fire. Young boys just love to throw shit on fire. And Gigantor was letting them throw small things of our trash on the fire. Well...Gigantor gets this avon box we were using with the nuts out. It was covered in sap. So..he tears it in half and decides to throw it on the fire. He throws the first half, and the fire flames way way up. And the wind starts. Both boys, scream HOT HOT HOT and pull their chairs way way back. I'm trying to get out of my chair and do the same thing, and the wind blows it right all over me. I yell at Gigantor as I'm trying to tip my chair backwards away from it, and he runs in between me and the fire, and I get moved back. So...me and the boys are screaming at him for putting that big thing on the fire when we are that close, and not to do it again. He's sorta giggling. If you could have seen it, it was a rather funny sight. I then announce to him "THANKS ALOT FOR COOKING MY CROTCH" And the boys literally fell over laughing. Upon further inspections, my shoestrings and the hair on my arms was singed. I also had a hole in the stomach of my shirt where an ember landed and burnt it. The boys seemed fine, but we found a nickel size burn hole on Big J's coat. We then put the fire out, and decided to get going. Gigantor decides instead of turning around he wants to drive along the path (NOT A PATH) and see where it comes out. So...we are bumping, and jumping along the trail in 4 wheel drive. We get in an area we can't turn around or back up, and to go forward, we scrape a 5 inch in diameter branch down the passenger side of the suburban GRRRRRRRRRRR We then find a hill this little path goes up. (hill HA it was a fricken cliff) and Gigantor is trying to put it in 4 low and go up. Me and the kids are yelling at him. NO NO NO NO NO He's like "well if I don't make it, we will go back down" This thing looked so steep and angled to one side in a couple places I knew we would get stuck or flip. So...I very sternly in my "don't mess with mom" voice told him "there is no FUCKING way you are going up this cliff" He got mad, but finally turned around. The trial that would have taken us a half hour if we turned around by the camp fire, took us 2 hours to finally get out of. Stupid men. I mean the worst part would be if something did happen. Hardly anyone was on the mountain, and we are on this trail that only maybe was used once last year. And our cell phone was on roam. NO NO NO NO NO
We finally get out on the main road and get back to Jacob Lake Lodge (don't ask me, there are no lakes on that mountain) and go potty, and buy the boys a GIANT cookie, and set out for home. (hour and a half away) It was 8 at night before we got home. We were so dang tired.
We were so tired we were lazy yesterday. Did some dishes, and laundry and watched t.v. That was about it. Lazy lazy. Well Gigantor did have to unload the suburban. I've been picking pine needles out of the pinon seeds now. Then I can wash and cook them.
Well I could probably talk about more stuff. Like the parade, or the stunt motorcyle riders, or the movies we watched, or even how my vortex bra has come back in full force!!!! But I've rambled long enough. And I'm still trying to brainstorm over a halloween costume. Nothing has completely appealed to kiddo yet. I keep wanting him and his friend to go as a booger and a finger, but they don't wanna play that game. hehehehehe
Happy Monday all!!!!
