One of Those Days

Ever had one of those days??? I was watching a commercial where the person woke up and was walking by a bulletin board and there was a smiley face on it. She grabs the smiley face and throws it in the trash. That's what kind of day I'm having.

I woke up with a major urge to kick the dog, push the kindergartners down, and throw the cat in the gerbil cage, all for shits and giggles. But alas...I did none of those. I did do a couple ornery things, but they were minor compared to what I wanted to do. hehehehe

I put scotch tape on the cats paws. I turned all the dogs ears inside out. And I made sure when I sneezed I did it by the gerbil cage so they would all jump.

I do have to go back to the school and pick the kiddo up. But...I better keep myself tucked inside the suburban. Or I might make some small children and parents cry, and I would laugh so evilly about it. muahhhhaaaahhhaaaahhaaaa

I'm thinking of going and grinding up some crackers and putting them in Gigantors side of the bed. But he sleeps so hard, I bet he wouldn't notice. So..that would just deflate me and ruin all the ornery fun I'm having today.

Well...I have to get going. Go check the mail. I may flick a booger on someone while I'm at the post office. hehehehe

Have a good/or not Monday everyone!!!

Big News

Well we have big news.

I may have told you all that I had been pressuring my daddy to move up here closer to us. I've been pressuring him for the past 3 or 4 years. We wanted him to move, because he no longer had any family where he was, and as sad as it is, most of his friends had passed away. Also my father is now 65, and not in great health. Diabetic, and extremely high blood pressure. And I think his doctors are quacks, and don't have him on the proper medications. He won't monitor his blood pressure or blood sugar. And whenever he gets ticked, upset, or depressed, he eats the wrong way. I worry about my daddy. And he needs to be a much bigger part of Kiddo's life. That's the only Grand Kiddo he's getting.

So....last weekend he calls me and tells me how horrible things are going at work. How high his blood pressure is. How he might end up in the hospital. I said "don't make me put my foot down and come get you. Cuz I will while you are kicking and screaming. Because we need to take care of you and your health, I can't deal with another funeral right now" And daddy said "Well...I'm thinking about putting in my resignation soon" So..I say "good" Thinking that in the next month or two he will make up his mind, then put the letter in, and give at least 3 weeks to a month notice, cuz that's just how daddy is. In that time, I can get some money saved up to go get him and all his stuff, and his trailer (he lives in a 24 foot travel trailer) And we can have everything arranged. But...it didn't quite happen that way. hehehee

Daddy calls me on Wednesday. Says "Kitten---I put my resignation in today" Here is where you pick me up off the floor cuz I fell out of my chair. I mean this is what we always wanted, but a little notice folks. hehehehe So...I say "oh good, so when do we need to come down" He says his last day is March 17th. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Spring break is the next week. So...we will be headed down the 22nd probably (Wednesday) and hopefully be able to head home on that Saturday so that Kiddo can get a day of rest before going back to school. It's a good 9 hour drive without hauling stuff.

Now daddy is going to have to stay here for a while, until we can find a place/lot to put his trailer, and get it all hooked up. That may take a few weeks. And daddy needs to find a part time/or full time job. He says he still wants to work some. So..maybe the new super walmart. hehehehe people greeter.

Now we are going to have to ask Gigantors boss, for yet again, another loan. Because I drained my dam savings paying for mom's funeral. And, we hadn't been able to replenish it enough. I have on credit card that has no room on it. So...we are going to have to get that loan just to have money for gas, and food for the quick trip. Alekx has a friend that will probably let us stay in his spare room while we are there, so I won't have to pay for a motel. Thank the gods!! hehehehe

Okay...well, I had a really bad day today. I was doing fine, and the boys went out bunny blasting and coyote hunting. Then I ate peanut butter till I felt sick, then went in the back/master bathroom and cried for an hour. I do cry every day still, but only for seconds or a minute or two. But...today was alot. Hit me hard. So...now I'm out here enjoying a wine cooler, blogging, watching the Ozzy Osbourn special on A and E. hehehehee

I'm gonna go get toastie, and watch a couple movies. Have a good weekend everyone.

More Randomness

There is that randomness word again. hehehehee

Boy did we get up late today. Usually me and kiddo get up by 6:45, rush and get dressed, get him fed, do a couple chores, and are out the door by 7:40 at the latest to get him to school in time. We don't like mornings, so we do as little as possible in the morning, so we can sleep as late as possible. hehehehehe So...this morning I just kept hitting the snooze. Kiddo came in realized I was still in bed and crawled in next to me, while I kept hitting the snooze button. I finally decided to open my eyes with the next snooze press, and realized it was fricken 7:20. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Boy we jumped up. I said okay lets hurry, but not kill ourselves. I'll write you a flippen note for being late if it comes down to that. We get dressed, he washes his face (suffering from acne at 9 flippen years old). We do our couple chores, then I have him grab poptarts and a drink. And guess what?? We left the house at 7:42. hehehehe I thought, okay, if I go 2 miles over the speed limit the whole way, we will make it fine. So we head up the hill to the top of the plateau. We have to drive to the other end of town for his school. Hit the first school zone that is at the top of the hill. And hit a long ass line of cars that's backed up about 2 city blocks. And realized. FUCK there was an accident at the light. grrrrrrrrrrrrr So...takes us about 10 minutes to get through the light. Everyone having to slow down and gawk at the flippin fender bender. Sheesh, knock it off asshats!!! Just fricken drive!!! I'm amazed there wasn't a couple more accidents right in front off all the police there for the first. Cuz everyone was driving like fucktards!!! But I made it. Pulled into the school to drop Kiddo off at 7:58. hehehehehehe

I love living in a small town. I guess our high school boys basketball team is going to play in the state championships on Friday. So...we all get a notice from the school yesterday. That school is going to be dismissed at 11:30 tomorrow. That way everyone that wants to travel to the championships can. hehehehe

I guess on Saturday...Gigantor and Kiddo are gonna go out in the boonies and go coyote hunting and do some bunny blasting. Hope they have fun blowing up the countryside. hehehehe

Oh I would like to thank Miranda for the visual of exploding hamsters. hehehehe Her comment in my last post made me scared that my gerbils are gonna go POP then I'm gonna have to get therapy for Kiddo for the next 20 years. hehehehe

Oh man....Last October I ordered address labels. Cuz I'm just to dam lazy to write my return address on all my mail. hehehehe I get them from this neat place, charges like 5 bucks for a set.. And there are a ton in a set, can't remember how many right now. But it's alot. Well, I had gotten some with flowers on them, and then some of the rudolf cartoon. For around Dec, and to put on Christmas cards. So I use about half of my rudolf labels, and thought I would save the rest for next year. And I was excited to start my flowers. When low and behold....every fricken place started sending me those free address labels. So...we now have 6 sheets of wildlife from the rocky mountain elk foundation, 2 sheets of wildlife from north american hunting club, 2 sheets from the V.F.W., 6 sheets of holiday one's from the disabled veterans, 2 sheets of baby animal ones from Ranger Rick, a booklet of flower one's from a book service. And now I have so many flippin labels, and keep getting more every couple months. I have no idea if I can use them all. hehehehehe

Okay I'm gonna go read your blogs, and see how snarky you all are today.

much huggggsssss

Monday Randomness

Is Randomness a word??? If not, it is now, cuz I just used it. hehehehe

I tried to write a post every day since my last post...and I sat and stared at this screen. I had nothing. Nothing of any interest. God I'm boring. *sigh*

I hate getting up early after having extra days off. Hell I hate getting up early any day. hehehe

All three days of the weekend. Kiddo fought me about putting any clothes on. I swear to God if he could get away with it, he would wear only his underwear at all times. The child is gonna grow up and own a nudist colony or something.

Have you ever insisted on something, and everyone keeps telling you your imagining things?? So...you start thinking maybe your just bonkers??? Well...I kept telling everyone that two of the gerbils were getting majorly fat. Not just chubby, but like the Violet girl who turned into a blueberry on Willie Wonka fat!! And everyone kept telling me it was just that they were fluffy. I swear they have double chins. So....fat. So then I started doubting what I was seeing, and thinking maybe I had cracked. Gigantor was cleaning the gerbil cage this weekend, and he took the gerbils out to put them in a box. He walks in and goes, "hey honey?? Did you know that two of those gerbils are so fat they have a moon orbiting them??" Says it like it's some new discovery or something. I was so irritated that nobody believed me for the past couple weeks, and made me feel insane, then they decide it's something new they never heard of. These boys are gonna drive me to drink, I kid you not. hehehehee

Gigantors a major ASS!!!! Can we just clear that up now?? hehehe Sunday we decide to go out and play on the 4 wheeler. Good idea since we have owned it since September, and I still had never been on it. Hey I had never been on any 4 wheeler in my life. So...about flippin time. So...We go way out in the boonies. And Gigantor takes his little turn to show off. Standing up, and spinning circles going really fast, and he's doing that cheesey guy laugh, when they think they are so cute, and macho for showing off, when really they are ASSES!!!!!!! So..he has me get on behind him, and take me for a ride before he teaches me how to run the dam thing. I climb on, and my flipping feet don't even touch the running board (yes I'm short) I'm holding on to the metal rack in the back. And when he starts doing his shit,the ASS, (no he did not go slow like I asked) I realized that the elbow I hurt over the summer still didn't have enough strength to keep me from getting bucked off that son of a bitch. So...as I'm getting pitched from seat to metal rack and back, and not being able to hold on very well. I decide to stop the shit. I wrap my arms around Gigantor , I mean the ASS, and grab on. Yes I grab on to his pectorals, grabbing skin and hair in my nails. And I holler, above the screaming like a girls sounds he was making, that he better pull the f**k over and let me learn how to drive. The ASS pulled over and was teaching me the basics, then he climbed on behind me. Of course I didn't go near as fast as he did, and his feet could touch. But why he had to keep head butting me with his helmet I will never know. I then went and got Kiddo and took him for a little ride. He didn't want to go very fast, and well...I am gonna be one of those mom's that just putters around on her 4 wheeler. No hurries, not stunts, no wheelies, no crashing and breaking my leg. heheheheheh Hey did I mention that Gigantor was a big Giant ASS???

Yesterday I had the day off, and should have been up doing a million things. Know what I did yesterday. I worked a little on the blanket I'm crocheting, and napped on and off on the couch. That's about all I did all dam day. I got up that evening and paid bills and did some stuff. But...Dam I was lazy. hehehehe

Now today...I need to go mail some packages, and deliver my avon books. And what am I doing. I'm fucking off writing in my blog, drinking coffee. hehehehe

Okay I'm gonna go read what amazing words you all had to type today.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!

The Gods of Wind

Okay what the hell??? Where the hell did this wind come from??? I heard on the news last night we were supposed to get wind today. 40mph all day and 60mph gusts. And we all thought, yeah right. Cuz the weather guy never has it right. Woke up this morning, and this tumble weed the size of my suburban was blocking out gate. I have no idea where it came from. So...Kiddo and I had to wrestle that away to get out of our gate. Then the wind is blowing so hard that trash cans aren't just rolling down the street (and we have those big blue cans) they are being hurtled like projectiles. I had one slam into the house, and I thought a care had hit the house. On my drive home from dropping kiddo off at school. I seen 3 blown over fences. 1 blown over shed, and about a million roof shingles and boat tarp coverings blowing around. We also have the worst sand here. We have sand, not dirt. And it's not fine, beach like, sand. It's like big sugar granules sand. And it will blast you so hard, that it can draw blood. And my poor baby Gigantor has to work outside in it all.

Oh my gosh, I almost got my ass knocked out by a "candy grenade" this morning.
Today is late start, which means the kids don't have to be to school till 9:30 in the morning, instead of 8. So...I'm in sitting on the side of the bed, watching the news, with my back to the door. And...WHAP!!!! something slams into the back of my head and neck, and stung, and made me see stars. I scream "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT" And Kiddo is trying so hard not to giggle and he's saying "I'm so sorry mom, I'm so sorry" (he now says mom instead of mommy whaaaaaaaaa) And I scream "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AND WHAT WERE YOU THINKING" He slinks in the room still fighting the giggles, they are coming out with little snorts and honks, but he's doing a pretty good job of seeming sympathetic. He crawls up behind me, and grabs the ammo. It was a roll of those little candies called "smarties" (well yeah they smart) And he goes, "where did the other one go?" I'm like "why the hell did you throw two of those at the back of my head?" He goes, "I was trying to toss them on the bed *honk* *snort*" I'm like, "TOSS??? you hurled those bad boys like you were throwing hand grenades over enemy lines!!!!" *SNORT* *HONK* He's shaking now trying to hold back the laughter. He goes, "mom (insert, are you stupid look here) they weren't grenades, they were sticks of dynamite!!!" I'm like "*snort* well that shit hurt." He goes "sorry, but HEY I killed the enemy!!!!" He walkes out snorting and honking, and now after the pain has worn off...I can't help but laugh about it. Who knows when we will ever find the other pack of those candies. After bouncing off of my think mellon they hurled themselves into the depth of my bedroom somewhere.

Hope you all had a happy valentines yesterday. And happy Windy Wednesday to you all!!!!

The Eagle

I'm so sorry I haven't posted more often. I'm dealing with alot of shit in my own head. But I did promise to post about the eagle, like Alekx wanted me too.

Let me lead you up to this.

Over 12 years ago, when I had my wedding (a had already been married for 6 months, by a J.P. but we wanted a religious wedding) Alekx and I wanted to do something nice for our mom. She had made lots of sacrifices through her life for us. To say she had not had an easy life was a major understatement. But she didn't complain. So....I got a friend to sing a song to her, dedicated from me and Alekx. We sat her down and sat in front of her. And the friend sang Eagle When She Flies, by Dolly Parton. For those of you who don't know this song. It basically says, that there is a woman who has gone through many trials in life. And the chorus says.

She's a sparrow when she's broken, but she's an eagle when she flies...

We thought this song described mom very well. So...that's why we had it sang to her, and she cried and cried.

Now fast forward.

When mom passed away, and I was sitting picking out music for her memorial. The first song I thought of was that one. Yes it told wonderful tails about the woman that she was. And now instead of saying she's and eagle when she flies about her strength it would mean now she's an eagle, soaring up above. We just thought it would fit so perfectly. And it had alot of meaning to all three of us. Alekx, myself and mom.

Now it was Alekx and my turn to cry and cry when that song was played.

That Sunday we drove up to a beautiful spot about 3 hours away called Oak Creek/Sedona area to scatter mom's ashes. She had many a fond memory there as a child. Alekx, house elf, myself, Gigantor, and Kiddo all gathered around with almost 20 other friends and family, that came along. And Alekx and I threw her in the creek, yelling "GOODBYE MOMMY, WE LOVE YOU" We were all cheering, it was a wonderful place she was in now. Then it all got quiet. As we all sat and thought. My uncle and his wife went off to sit and meditate and take in the scenery. My mother in law plopped down with Kiddo on the rocks and they took of their shoes and dangled their feet in the creek, just very quiet and just being with each other. Two of her friends walked off and just stared at the beautiful red, cathedral shaped, cliffs surrounding the area (as me uncle said, we should all be so lucky to have such a wonderful headstone) I sat and hugged another aunt and uncle just very quietly. Alekx and the house elf, stood and held hands and cried. Gigantor and a cousin and the cousins daughter were splashing from rock to rock across the creek to get pictures. When all of a sudden cousins daughter, started screaming "BURFICA!!!! LOOK!!!!" and she was pointing. Out of nowhere, I mean nowhere a BALD EAGLE came flying up the creek, just a few feet over the water. It got to where all of us where, and it started circling. It circled the area right above all of us, and slowly started going up in the sky. It's entire time circling and moving upward took about 15 minutes or so. Then when you could still see it plain as day, still a pretty big eagle, it POOFED. Not flew away, not flew up, just disappeared into thin air. Everyone that watched it saw the same exact thing. We all instantly were convinced that it was mom. She was the one soaring. And weather she was saying goodbye, or I'm watching you, or I love you. Either way, it was so very spiritual, and so very special to get that amazing gift. We all are very convinced it was mom. The symbolism is so amazing.

So anyhow, that is the just of the eagle story.

I'll try to post better. Just having alot of my own struggles right now.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!

Happy Giants Birthday

Friday was Gigantor's birthday. He told me not to do anything for him, because of all the stuff we had to do past couple weeks. So...I planned a surprise thing on Saturday at my aunt and uncles. But on Friday, I bought him a cheesecake sampler, and took him and a friend to dinner. (we had a gift certificate there) I told him I didn't have a chance to get any presents, or money after all the stuff with mom's funeral and things. And that I might be able to get him something for Valentines. In the mean time I had two cakes sitting over at my aunt and uncles. And a box full of gifts waiting to be hidden in the suburban.

On Saturday I sent him to the store for milk, and Kiddo and I scrambled to get everything hidden in the suburban. Then when he got home we took Kiddo and a friend to the movie--Hoodwinked. It was good, but we must have been exhausted, cuz me and Gigantor both fell asleep for about the last half hour. hehehehe

I told him some story about having to take some paperwork concerning mom over to my uncles. And we walked in to balloons and banners. It was great. Then we had bbq Elk Burgers. yummie yumm yumm yumm We had a few friends show up. Then we did presents and cake. And the guys all played Texas Hold Em Poker, and us girls went in the living room and visited. I yawned and wondered what time it was, and then realized it was about 11:30 ahhhhhhhhhh LOL

Today we went to church and then went and dropped off our tax stuff. Also watched the rigged super bowl. Don't get me started. I wasn't for either team. I'm not that big into football. I like to watch super bowl for the commercials. But it was obvious to even me that the officials were paid off. Anywhooo....my opinion, nobody needs to yell at me about it. And in the mood I'm in, if you do. I'll retaliate in a very not nice way. hehehehehe

Well....Alekx wanted me all to tell you the eagle story, so I will try to post that this week. Have a good week everyone.

Quick Note

Just a quick note to let you all know we are still alive and kicking. This past weekend went really well. It was beautiful!!!! The memorial was so beautiful, and we had lots of laughs and lots of tears. We had all sorts of family there, and alot of people from town. The Church holds about 180 people and it was over half full. About 2/3's full. It was so nice to see all those who remembered mom fondly. Sunday went wonderfully too. We found an amazingly beautiful place to scatter mom. Hopefully Alekx will share the picture of the place with you all.

Alekx and the house elf left on Tuesday afternoon. So...yesterday was Gigantor's first day back at work and Kiddo's first day back at school. And me...well...I cried alot yesterday. Some of it hit me. I miss my mom, and I'm not looking forward to the coming year without her to talk to and council me.

Friday is Gigantor's birthday. I hadn't even thought about it with everything going on. He told me not to worry about it since we spent so much money over the past couple weeks. Of course I can't just forget about it. So...I told him maybe later in the month, and in reality, I'm planning something for Saturday. hehehehe I will take his friend D and Kiddo to walmart tomorrow and we will pick out a gift. Then my aunt and uncle said we could come over and have a bbq (elk steaks) on Saturday. So...I'm not gonna tell Gigantor. I'm just gonna tell him that I have to go sign some paperwork concerning mom, and we go up there, and SURPRISE!!!! Hopefully. hehehehe

Anyhow, I still have lots of thank you notes to make. So...I'm gonna go check blogs while I eat breakfast, then I'm off.

Happy Thursday everyone!!!

Dropping by

Just dropping by, to let you all know we are doing okay. Been so busy, haven't had alot of time to grieve yet. It's coming, I can feel it. :) I've been so very busy this past week. I'll give you all a little break down.

We are having mom's services on Saturday. Alekx and the house elf are flying in with her little box. hehehehe My mom lived in this town for about 30 years. So...everyone I meet that knew here, have asked to come to the services. I've said yes of course. Then all of my friends, and relatives. If everyone comes that says they are coming, we are going to have way over 100 people there. I'm thinking maybe half of who said they would come will be there.

My best friend Roo (we stayed at her house when my mom was flown out last year) came up last Friday, she brought a bunch of craft supplies I needed and helped me literally work my ass off getting everything ready. So...here is a little break down of goings on since last week.

Fought with the 4 wheeler dealership about the bill, got that straightened out.
Fought with the furniture company about the bill, got that straitened out as well.

Dropped obituary off at newspaper.
Went by furniture shop, bed frame broke (the new one)
Went and ordered the big thing of flowers for the front table ($75)
Friday I vegged till my friend got in at 6 in the evening. She drove all over looking for the visitors book, finally went by a funeral home, and picked up a wonderful one, that is by Thomas Kincaid, has a cross on a hill at sunset. Made me cry. Also made me cry when she said she felt mom's presence so strong in my house. I think she's hanging out with me, making sure we are all okay.
That night, went through two suit cases of pictures for the memory board. There were 4 of us going through them. Roo found the only three surviving pictures of my parents wedding. Made me cry again.
Saturday, did some grocery shopping, some cleaning, then worked on the poster boards. I punched holes around the outside and wrapped purple fun fur on them.
Sunday, got up went to walmart, for dress shirts for the boys. Did some more grocery shopping, picked up my shirt and the ties. Came home and D helped me outline some butterflies on my shirt in gold fabric paint (D is Gigantors best friend member??) He helped me place photo's on the boards and get them taped in.
Bought some baskets for things for the service.
Monday, took Kiddo to school. Finshed my shirt (had to let the one side dry) started decorating a basket, put writing pins and pieces of paper in one for people to write down a memory or blessing and give to the family. Wrapped fun fur around the handle of another (took two days) embellished with flowers.
Bought paper, so uncle could print out the announcements. Nice card stock, cream color paper. Got the announcements.
Painted 4 picture frames.
Went to the christian book store and got two things that I won't say, cuz they are a surprise for Alekx.
Figured out how we wanted to embellish the little purple flowers for pins.
After dinner, proceeded to make 75 pins, OMGGGGGGGGGG I was up till 1 in the morning.
Kiddo woke up real sick so kept him home today. I got up and fastened the safety pins on all the flowers, and made some bows out of ribbons and put safety pins on them. Finished decorating the baskets, then folded the 125 announcements.
Met with the pastor and got the service all arranged.
Called uncle asked him to do eulogy.
Took Kiddo to doctor
Turned in prescriptions
Went by restaurant, and reserved it for 20 people on Friday night
Went and got suburban, now we are gonna eat and then go get the medicine.

I still have to check in on the lady about the food, and maybe buy some drinks. I have to majorly clean my house for all the company, and I have zero energy. Wish friend would come help with that. hehehehe I have to put the pictures in the frames when they dry. And fill out the front of the guest book. Then have to get the sanctuary ready on Friday. And get with our uncle cuz he would only do the eulogy if we got with him, and he made it from me and Alekx.

July 4, 1945---January 17, 2006

Tuesday is Monday

I had this witty, snarky post all thought out to do today. But...I received a phone call from Alekx last night. They took mom to the e.r. again. I had talked to mom the day before, and she was sick, and didn't sound well. Sounded like she could barely breath. I guess it got worse, and they took her in. Alekx had to go to work. She's training in a police dept job. Plus what good is she gonna do, but sit and stare at mom's medicated ass.

Anywhoo...I called the hospital this morning. She is in a e.r. room. Waiting for a bed upstairs. They are admitting her. The e.r. nurse told me it doesn't look good. Mom doesn't want intibated, and she is very out of it right now. But she is struggling to breath, and it's starting to take a toll on her heart. I asked if she was gonna get a bed today. And the e.r. nurse said, "yes hun, but realistically we have to look at if she is even gonna make it till then"

I can't call Alekx to get a more updated idea of what the hell is going on. She will be off at 3, then go see mom. The nurse took down my numbers, in case they had to call me if "something" happened. So...I'm trying to remain calm till I talk to Alekx, but let me tell ya, them butterflies in my tummy are working over time.

Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.

Much love to you all!!! And hug your loved one's today for me please, hug them tight.

Friday the 13th

Realizing it's Friday the 13th today, I'm not even gonna try for a normal day. That would be like trying to swim up a water fall. hehehehe

Took the doggies to the vet last night--yes now I owe more money. Buster doggie got his stitches taken out. They were very impressed with his progress. And Buck doggers got his allergy shot, and some bumps checked out. I was worried about cancer. The vet said it wasn't obvious cancer, and with his age, do we really wanna run a bunch of tests, to which I stated NOOOOOOOOOO. So...we are just gonna watch them and keep documenting the new one's that sprout up. If he gets in pain we will address that with pain meds, but basically. Keep him comfortable for however much longer he has. This dog has lived longer than I thought he would. So...who knows.

Is it wrong that Kiddo has picked up the nick names we call the dogs?? I mean I understand him picking up us calling Buck--Roadblock. Or us calling Buster--Mama Dog (he's a boy) But, Kiddo comes in yesterday, and goes. "So...does shit head have an appointment too?" unfortunately that's what Gigantor and I call Dribbles most often. hehehehe I couldn't get real mad at Kiddo, cuz we do it all the time. But I did do the shocked yell of KIDDOOOOO, and laughed. And he all shocked was like, "oh no I'm sorry" in his innocent little voice. hehehehehe

Is it a bad thing that one of the goldfish is swimming in circles on his side, near the top of the tank??? hehehehe I swear those two fish are gonna outlive us all. I must have got the Koi kind or something. They are about 4 years old. I'm ready for them to float belly up so I can flush them.

I have construction going on behind my house. We have this chain link fence that encloses the area we live. We live on the back side, so the fence is behind us. For over a year, just a ways away, they have been building a "low income" (yeah right 140 thousand) housing development. I think it's ugly, all the houses are the same, and they have 3 feet of back yard before the brick walls, that enclose them. So....since the fall they have been digging this ditch along behind us, to build a canal they said, then they were gonna put up another brick wall, and start building some houses right behind us. ugggghhhhhh Their fence is going up about 4 feet from our fence. So...I have had all these workers hanging out at the back of the house, leaning up on the fence, b.s.ing alot. So...As Buster healed more, he's gotten more agitated at people being near his yard. So....when they get loud at 6 in the dam morning. I'm ornery, and I let the dogs outside. Which they run up silently to the back, then start barking like the dickens when they are about 2 inches from the workers. hehehehehe I hear "OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!" Thankfully they are pretty good guys, or that Gigantor really scared them, when he talked to them (cuz he's a giant) cuz they have never been mean to, or teased the dogs. I'm waiting for my cat to stroll over and be the total shit that he is, and end up getting his dumb butt sealed in the brick wall. hehehehehe Only nice thing about that brick wall and housing, is it should make a good wind break. If any of you all have been to Arizona, you know what I mean by the wind. hehehehe

Well I'm gonna go finish eating my fat free peanut butter on wheat toast, and drinking my sugar free hot cocoa, which is only luke warm. hehehee

Have a happy Friday the 13th everyone!!!!

Witchie Wednesday

That's right!!! I woke up a major witch!!! Well...I didn't wake up per say, I was slammed into consciousness by my very insensitive, pain in my ass husband. The fucktard. Now..I understand he has his last day of class today, and he has his final exam today, and his practicals. But for FUCK SAKE it was late start, and me and kiddo covet late start, for sleeping in that extra hour. We don't turn Kiddo's alarm on on late start, he just gets up about 7 or 7:30 and I set my alarm for 7 and crawl out of bed about 7:45. (We don't have to be to school till 9:15 on late start) On most days, kiddo's alarm goes off 6:45 and him and I get up then. So....Gigantor gets up at 6:30, runs in and turns Kiddo's alarm on. Why??? I dunno. Then comes back, and instead of his regular routine of taking his clothes to the living room and getting dressed so he doesn't disturb anyone. He turns on the fucking bathroom light, which shines right on my side of the bed. Proceeds to shave and shit (literally) hehehehe. Then I hear kiddo's alarm go off, and I start yelling at him. So...he runs in and tells kiddo. Ooops sorry, go back to bed, which of course did NOT FUCKING WORK!!!! Then he comes in, and goes. Oh...I decided to shower (he always showers at night, cuz he's so nasty from work) I'm like WTF??? I'm trying to sleep here. He goes "so" The mother fucker said SO to me???? He is so fricken dead!!! So...he goes ahead and showers. After his shower, I told him he better get the fuck out of the bedroom before I got one of the guns out of the safe and shot him. So...he takes his clothes and heads out to the living room, where kiddo was already up. And I settle in to get that extra hour of sleep, and....eeep eeeep eeeeeeeeppp my alarm goes off. GAWD DANG MOTHER BUNNY HUMPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is in so much trouble when he gets home. Of course I was nice and told him good luck and all that shit, cuz I didn't want him upset and to tank the last tests. But...when he gets home and tests are over. I'm gonna dig his eyes out with a spoon, and feed them to the gerbils. Muahhh hahhhh ahhahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (insert insane eye twitch here)

Okay I finally found that other recipe we tried at new years, so I'm gonna leave it here. Just two tips before I post it. Make sure you use the orange, it taste good, but not near as good without it. And..use large marshmallows, we used small (cuz I was out of large) and they just disintegrated. And remember when you cook to have fun. If you don't have all the ingredients, try it anyway with what you have. Make it your own. It's all good. hehehehe

Sweet Potato Balls

4 large sweet potatoes (we used three, and it was way more than enough, but the yam here are on steroids)
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon ground or fresh grated nutmeg
2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (we used a little more)
1 large marshmallow per potato ball

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. (i just cut them in half and scooped the nummie nums out with a spoon.) Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, zest and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes, around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3 inch diameter ball. Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Put on cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully for the last few minutes of cooking. The expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open.

Happy Wednesday everyone. Sorry for being a witch.

Movies

We had a weekend of movies here. I got three movies in on Netflix, and we went to the matinee on Saturday. The movies we got in where--The Exorcism of Emily Rose. It was a rather disturbing movie, but I bet if they used a little more money they could have potrayed the movie better. We watched--Stealth. Now that was a good movie. Wasn't exactly what I expected from the previews, just a little different, but very good. We also got a Japanese Anime for the kiddo called Steamboy. This was actually a very good little movie. I was bummed that I got so tired and fell asleep for about a half hour of it. hehehee At least I didn't snore and bug Kiddo and Gigantor. We went to the matinee and watched Chronicles of Narnia. OMG...what can I say??? This movie was so dang good. I liked it alot. Now I want to read the books. Gigantor and I are arguing about one thing. He thinks the woman that played the White Witch was the same woman that played the Borg queen in Star Trek First Contact. I think the Borg queen was the woman that played in Stephen Kings Sleepwalkers. Without digging out the movie, do any of you know??? hehehehehe I swear I'm gonna have to try to find that First Contact movie so we can see who is right.

Well...today marked the first day of school. Kiddo was not happy to say the least. He hates getting up early. Frankly so do I. And...I get real sick of all the parents that complain and say they can't wait till school starts again, cuz their kids are driving them nuts. I love having my kid home. I love doing things with him. I had a hard enough time getting him, and all to soon, he isn't gonna wanna spend any time with me. So....why shouldn't I cherish every moment??

Gigantor is in classes the next three days. They are having an E.M.T. refresher course, that he has to take every 2 years. So...it's 8 hours for the next three days. Only problem I have with it is. I don't know what to do about the Buster dog. He's supposed to go in and get his stitches out from his surgery. He can NOT jump, and he is way way to heavy for me to lift him in the dam suburban. With Gigantor in class, he can't help me. I've been on the search for someone to go be a grunt for me, and do the doggie lifting. So far, no luck.

I just finished making out my bills, so I'm gonna go weep now. Get another cup of coffee to keep me awake, and weep. hehehehehe

Happy Monday everyone!!!!

Boredom Coma

God I'm so boring, I've put myself in a boredom coma. ugggghhhhh Hurry get the paddles!!! Charging!!! CLEAR!!!!

I think I'm sorta holding my breath, waiting for something bad to happen since it's turned 2006. 2005 had so much crap, that I was praying for it to be over. Now I don't know if this year is gonna be better, or, god forbid, worse. So...any whooooo since I'm more boring than watching paint dry, at least you can get a high from the paint fumes. I'm gonna leave you all with a new recipe I tried on New Years eve dinner. OMG it was sooooo good, and we had it with prime rib. So you had savory, and a bit of sweet.

Roasted Onions

6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 bunch fresh thyme (we didn't have any thyme so I left it out and it was still amazing)
Salt and pepper
4 red or sweet onions, halved (we halved them but next time I'm gonna wedge or slice them, will be easier to eat)

Preheat the oven to 350 degree's F.

Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer an cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.

We spooned the sauce over the onions twice during cooking and after serving.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

It was so special to have Captain Daddy here. We love him so much and can't wait till he decides to move up here.

I do have to tell you all this. One Christmas, quite a few years ago. My lovely gentle giant of a husband got me hair clippers for Christmas. His reasoning was that I would be happy to have them to cut his hair, cuz it would save us money in the long run. So...to get his dumb butt back I bought him a crock pot I really wanted for our anniversary. It didn't quite make it through his thick scull. Cuz for my birthday, he got me the micro rod and reel he wanted, but he made Kiddo give it to me, so I wouldn't yell at him. That's okay, cuz for his birthday I paid for my next tattoo. Said he would like how my arm looked better with it. Well...he seemed to get it that time. For many years after that, he made sure that if the gift was for me...he really got something I wanted. And some suprises that made me cry with joy. Well....I think he totally forgot how much of a jerk he was that year in the past. Because a few days before Christmas he asks if he can give me one of my gifts early, cuz it would make my life so much easier while everyone was here. I'm like "okay sure" He gave me a storage container set that is going to store some of his stuff, in a cupboard I don't even get into. I raised my eyebrow and said " you better think about this, and get a clue before Christmas buddy" he laughed it off. On Christmas eve I sent him to the store to get batteries for "his" digital camera. The one his mother gave him. The one that they don't let us forget is "gigantors"
So...for Christmas guess what I get??? I get a battery charger for "Gigantors" digital camera. What in the fuckity fuck fuck fuck???? Did the man just up and forget about what he pulled a few years back??? I'm sure he didn't cuz I tell enough people about it. I was so mad, I said. You better expect nice throw pillows for my couch for your birthday in Feb, ass hole. My dad just laughed and laughed. Gigantor couldn't figure out why I was upset. He goes, well in the long run we will save money. OMG he must think all I care about is that. And if he really wanted to save me money then he would quit buying the 4 dollar energy drinks he's addicted to, every other day. Then to top this shit off. We had some returns, a game for kiddo, one small thing given to Gigantor (11 dollar item) and some stuff for me. 101 bucks in returns. That should mean that kiddo get a different game, which he did, and I get something. Which I couldn't find the movie I wanted, and I was gonna head over to get socks and undies of all things. When Gigantor comes and tells us. "okay the money on the card is all spent" WTF???? I go look, and he has gotten an answering machine cuz ours broke, okay no problem. But he also go 50 dollar rifle mount for the fucking 4-wheeler. He goes, "well since we had to return the 4-wheeler bag I got, I got this" I'm like "the bag was only 11 fucking dollars" He just walked out. He made sure that before I could talk to him about it, he went and installed the dam thing, and threw the packaging away, so that I couldn't make him return it. I mean...how fucking insensitive can you get??? So...his parents gave us a check for 65 bucks. 25 for me and gigantor each and 15 for kiddo. To get anything we wanted they said. So...he starts talking about the 45 dollar tire repair system for the 4 wheeler he wanted. Then my daddy gave me some money, cuz he couldn't find pressies. He told me specifically it was for me. But I got everyone lunch twice, and paid for us to go to the movie. So...I blew a gasket at Gigantor the other day. Two days later, I think he got a clue, cuz he came up and apologized and said that after kiddo gets the 15, the rest of the money is mine to get something for myself, cuz he was a jerk. I was like "yeah you were." hehehehe He also got me a very cute eeyore yard statue. So...he may get sex in 2006 yet.

Okay I rambled enough. I got a couple recipe's to post that we tried on new years. Hopefully soon.

Year in Review

I'm taking this idea from Tim's blog. He went back and put the first sentence to his first post of each month of the year.

January--Thank you everybody for all your nice comments about my tatoo's and my boobies (what else can be said about this) hehehe

February--I have nothing of interest to talk about today. (that's when I was packing my mom up to move) ( I think the words "boredom coma" were in that post)

March--Woke up in a good mood, but everything everyone did made you yell? (I was cranky that day I guess)

April--Man my Dogs are in so much trouble today. (they had raided Kiddo's easter basket and killed his chocolate bunny)

May--So kiddo and his friend J got to go to the carnival this weekend. (this was the story of how he beat that old ladies ass with the squeekie hammer....squeak squeak squeak)

June--Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Well we made it. We are in Texas. Man, three states, two sunburns, one dinosaur museum, one shitty ass service motel, 5 fast food joints, two slaughter houses, one herd of antelope, multiple cows, horses, and squished armadillos and raccoons later. We are finally here. (okay the first paragraph was much better than just the first sentence)

July--31 days.... that's the magic number. Apparently 31 days is how long a little 9 year old boy can handle being away from his daddy and his home. (my babies melt down)

August--I'm home!!!!! ( you think I was excited to be home??)

September--I just thought everyone could use a good laugh. (my neighborhood hazard post)

October--Well Saturday we went up to the mountain to go pinon picking. (the title of that post was "pinons and flaming crotches" )

November--Well trick or treating was a success. ( I think I still have halloween candy)

December--Thank God that is over. All the political bullshit of the city fire dept crammed into one room, with the pretense of being a Christmas party. (self explanatory)

I just wanna wish you all a very happy and safe New Years!!! Please don't do anything stupid. I won't post for a couple days. Captain daddy has to leave on Monday and I will be cramming as much daddy daughter things in as I can. I always hate to see him leave. I want him to stay forever.

Anywhooo....HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

The Vet Owns My Ass

Hi everyone!!! Did you all have a good Christmas??? We had a wonderful one. Lots of pressies, lots of laughter, lots of love. Had a wonderful dinner with Captain Daddy. Did some great after Christmas sales on Monday. Got wrapping, labels and cards all for next year. Tuesday, we took Buster to the vet, got Captain Daddies hair cut, went to post office, went to store to get some stuff for dinner, and went to the bank. I then came home and made stuffing, and boiled eggs, and made pecan pie and pumpkin pies. Gigantors parents were coming for dinner today, and he wanted to do a huge turkey dinner. So...Basically we had Thanksgiving all over again. I'm getting really cooked out. hehehehe

On Wednesday before Christmas I had to rush my cat into the vet. He had a toe nail that had grown curved under and had grown into the bottom of his foot, and it was all infected. So the vet had to cut it off, and give him antibiotics. 60 bucks I wasn't expecting. Tuesday we took Buster in (pointer/greyhound mix) He had been limping real bad, and I suspected it was the ligament that held the top bone to the bottom bone. It's called the Cruciate ligament. And yup, it was completely torn off. So he has this big 8 inch incision on his knee on his back leg. They have to remove the knee cap, and clean everything up, then build a synthetic ligament. Then they had to keep him in ICU for a good 24 hours. They were worried he couldn't walk very good and a little worried about his age. We went and got him about 2 this afternoon. OMG my poor baby. Gigantor has to carry him up and down the stairs. And he's on 6 antibiotic pills a day, two pain pills, and 4 joint pills a day. The pain and antibiotics for two weeks, then he gets his stitches out, then the joint stuff for 4 weeks, then we lower him to two a day for the rest of his life. Now brace yourselves. For my baby to get his surgery, and meds. Drum roll please. Seven hundred and seventy eight bucks. There goes almost all of Gigantor's Christmas bonus check. *sigh* what do ya do?? He's our baby too. So...like I said, the vet owns my ass. hehehe

I'll try to write more about the holidays later. I'll be on and off, still got Captain Daddy here, and we are having tons of fun. hehehehe

Off to the shooting range tomorrow and maybe to go see King Kong.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

Funny Merry Christmas

Well Captain Daddy did get in on time, and all is well. We have been running non stop. Walmart after he got in, to get kiddo, dinner, wrapping. Then today, Kiddo to party, then me and Captain Daddy went to Bashas, then Safeway, then home for a few (wrapping) then to get Kiddo, to get lunch and home. Made half of dinner, sold swing set, and got it out of here (so we can set the trampoline up). Went Christmas light looking, came home had dinner, watched a movie. Then wrapped all the rest of Kiddo's stuff, and stuff from santa. Only thing I haven't done is wrap a couple little things for in the stocking. Gigantor hasn't wrapped anything yet. Tomorrow Gigantor and Captain Daddy are going to the store to shop for me. I in the mean time get to boil eggs, and make 5 pumpkin pies, and cookies for Santa, and clean off the table, and vacuum. uggghhhhh

Okay on that note. I wanted to wish all my Blogger Family a very very very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! I'm gonna leave you with a funny, and I don't know when I'll get back. Lots of stuff to do. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! I ADORE YOU ALL!!!!


Christmas with Louise

As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of panty hose over his
fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill
them. What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true
because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings were
overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty.
One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on
sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. They don't
sell
those things at Wal-Mart. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown. If
you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse
yourself.
I was there an hour saying things like, "What does this do?"
"You're kidding me!" "Who would buy that?" Finally, I made it to the
inflatable doll section. I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll
that could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the
car pool lane during rush hour. Finding what I wanted was difficult.
Love dolls come in many different models. The top of the line,
according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a
book
on animal husbandry. I settled for "Lovable Louise." She was at the
bottom of
the price scale.
To call Louise a "doll" took a huge leap of imagination. On
Christmas Eve, with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to
life.
My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee
morning
hours, long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling
pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies
and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray. I went
home,
and giggled for a couple of hours.
The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to
his house and left a present that had made him VERY happy but had left
the dog confused. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and
bark some more. We all agreed that Louise should remain in her panty
hose
so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the
traditional Christmas dinner.
My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door.
"What the hell is that?" she asked. My brother quickly explained, "It's
a
doll." "Who would play with something like that?" Granny snapped. I had
several candidates in mind, but kept my mouth shut. "Where are her
clothes?" Granny continued. "Boy, that turkey sure smells nice, Gran,"
Jay said, trying to steer her into the dining room. But Granny was
relentless. "Why doesn't she have any teeth?" Again, I could have
answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in
the back of the ambulance saying, "Hang on Granny Hang on!"
My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled
up to me and said, " Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?" I told
him she was Jay's friend. A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the
mantel, talking to
Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we
realized this might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home.
The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had
died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made
a noise that sounded a lot like my father in the bathroom in the
morning.
Then she lurched from the panty hose, flew around the room twice, and
fell in a heap in front of the sofa. The cat screamed. I passed
cranberry
sauce through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room, fell to his
knees, and began administering mouth to mouth resuscitation. My brother
fell back over his chair and wet his pants and Granny threw down her
napkin, stomped out of the room, and sat in the car. It was indeed a
Christmas to treasure and remember.
Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough
examination
to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had
suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh. Fortunately,
thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect
health. Louise went on to star in several bachelor party movies. I think
Grandpa still calls her whenever he can get out of the house.

Thanks all

Thank you everyone for your advice. Here is the thing. I agree with a couple of you about having a tough skin, and rolling with the punches. Goodness knows that Kiddo has gone through some terrible bullying past couple years at school, and we have helped him work through how to deal with that. This is where I was falling into a problem. Since he has been bullied we always have told him how his family and friends are his soft place to fall. They are the people that accept you and don't say or do mean things to you. And K is supposedly one of his best friends, and kept doing it, even though Kiddo would ask him not to. I don't care how tough you think a kid needs to be, they should never ever have to undergo abuse and definitely not from the people that are supposed to care most about them. So...here is what happened. The more I thought about it, the more I came to a decision. I went ahead and called his mom. Just thinking it might be something that these dam 9 year olds go through. Still small children, but struggling to grow up, but not to fast. Confusing age. She said she would talk to him. After school, kiddo told me that he pulled K to one side. Told him that he didn't want called that anymore, not by his friend. And K goes, well I'm sorry I was only kidding. And Kiddo says, well sometimes kidding can even hurt a person. Kiddo says, if you wanna call me something, why don't you pick a better nick name like Tank or Bulldog or something (my ideas that morning, cuz Kiddo is build like a brick like his dad) So....K goes, Okay I'll call you bulldog, and I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, that's not what friends do. I was very very proud of those two for that. They were more mature than most grown ups.

I so very much appreciate the advice everyone gave me. But I do have one thing to say. I think children should learn there are cruel people out there (unfortunately) and they should blow alot of what is said off. But I will NEVER EVER EVER condone any kind of verbal or physical abuse or anything verbal or emotional that hurts a person from family or friends!!!! Those are the people that are supposed to love and support you no matter if you have three eyes, or are fat or skinny or pimply. A child should NEVER have to learn to "roll with the punches" from a loved one. And I will ALWAYS step in in that instance, even if it was my husband or my sister, or parents, and definitely it being a child. I would stick up for anyone one of them.

So...him knowing taekwondo, and the rep of beating up a kid 2 grades ahead of him. My son doesn't get bullied much anymore. (the bruiser) And now he has handled a bad situation with a good friend and it had a great outcome. Also the friends mom was informed so she could just tell her son, that, that was inappropriate behavior to do to a friend.

All is good. And I prattled on, so no funny story today, maybe tomorrow. hehehehe

Happy Thursday everyone. Captian Daddy will be here by noon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
