Happy Birthday to me!!!

I was gonna post all about the weekend, how busy it was, and how kiddo had won some awards. How proud of a mom I was and that shit.

But....I just can't seem to get happy today. Woke up to Gigantor wanting me to clean the disaster he made in the kitchen, with stuck on food that he forgot about, and dishes from one end to the other (not stacked like I fight about). And to him wanting me to work on laundry. Not a happy birthday or nothing from him.

Also talked to my sister today, and she forgot for over an hour until I reminded her.

Called Gigantor about something. Not a single happy birthday but more of him wanting me to do stuff.

Usually on birthdays and anniversaries, he calls every couple hours just to say love you and put you in a good mood. Instead he comes home and yelled at me about being to sensitive.

I'm full of blahs now today, so I'm gonna go back to bed, and say FUCK YOU!!!! To Gigantor and anyone else that wants me to do anything today.

Hope your day is better.

OMG OMG OMG OMG

OMG I am back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let me just say STUPID ASS, PAIN IN MY ASS, BREATH TASTE LIKE ASS BLOGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost my blog for a while. Every time I tried to get it, it would be a white screen. I thought it was just me, until some of you lovely blogger buddies told me it was happening to you too. (on my blog) I e-mailed blogger repeatedly, cuz I couldn't figure it out. Of course they were so very helpful in NEVER replying to an e-mail!!!!

Luckily my lovely blogger friend Miranda, said maybe I should copy and paste my template into another blog. I mean couldn't hurt it much worse than NOT BEING THERE ANYMORE!!! So before I did that I republished everything, just on a whim you know, and low and behold it worked. yayyyyyyy kuddo's for the computer retard named me.

I won't bore you with all the goings on of the past couple weeks, just try to sorta pick up here.

We went to walmart tonight. Kiddo had an amazing growth spurt. So amazing that not a single thing for school fits, and not one single pair of shoes fit!!!! He was invited a bunch of places and had no dam shoes, cuz I had to wait till payday. What did his lovely mother do. Well I made him put on my old stretched out tennies that I was holding onto for going to the beach. They were to small, but fit better than his old shoes. So...my poor kid was in pink and purple tennies. hehehehe I'm so mean.

So...anyhow, we go to walmart and I buy him some new tennies. Fricken size 8 1/2 mens. HE'S ONLY 10 FOR CRAP SAKE!!! Then I got him three new shirts. All but a couple of his summer shirts are hosed. They have holes and big stains. So I got him 3, and he has some new shorts to start school with.

My mother in law is going to purchase some of the big appliances of my mom's so I'm waiting for that money (should be a month) then I'm gonna go get him all new shirts and pants, seeing as NOT A DAM THING FITS ANYMORE!!!!

Can you believe he's 10 and wears mens large shirts???? Or that his pants are 36 waist??? I'm growing another giant here people.

Well...I'm gonna go make sure this post worked and I can still get the blog up, then I will try to update more, and go read you all again. I'm so dang behind. hehehee

I have missed you all dearly!!!!!

GRRRrrrrrrrrr

That's right, I growled. Hear me roar *rar* What a week we have had. uggghhh Just gotta roll with the punches though.

Our phone was a piece of crap, the 6 and 2 button barely worked and it would not keep a charge, so about a week ago we went and bought a new one. Then...it would start shutting off in mid calls. Just hanging up on people, and sometimes I couldn't get it to work. No dial tone, nothing. So...we go replace the phone, and guess what?? No dial tone, nothing. So Gigantor goes out and plugs the phone into the main box behind our house. Nope, nothing there either. Just fricken great. About a year ago it went out. And the entire line up to the main pole (4 houses away) and their little box on that pole were out. On Friday Gigantor went up to the phone company place and nobody was there but the door was unlocked so he left a note on their computer screen. Nobody bothered to contact us. So...we had to call the 800 number and couldn't get it fixed till this week. We asked why the note was ignored. And we were told that that place is supposed to be locked at all times, cuz it's only a substation. Well...they got in big trouble it was unlocked and nobody there. But you know what if they would have answered the dam note, nobody would have known. hehehehe

So...the guy is out today, doing work from main pole to my box, back and forth. Seeing as it's noon and we were promised they would be here at 8. I guess I'm just lucky they showed up the same day.

I got what I thought was a UTI last week, and the over the counter stuff. Well..I had a reaction to it. I was sicker than a dog. Then after I felt a little better. Kiddo got real sick for a couple days. uggghhh

Gigantor had to work this weekend. Not that big of a deal. But it ended up pissing me off, and us getting in a fight. I was promised he would be home between 9 and 10 saturday morning, (he goes in at 5) So...10 comes and goes, 11 comes and goes. No big deal, I thought he was just a little late. 12 comes and goes, I still wasn't angry yet. By 12:30 I was getting ticked that I hadn't even got a phone call. He came home a little after 1. No phone call or nothing. He had promised Kiddo he was gonna do a bunch of stuff with him, and he broke that promise without so much as a courtesy of a phone call. I understand having to work late, really I do. But when you promise people things, at least have enough fricken courtesy to call and explain why it isn't gonna happen. So...he had to walk on eggs the rest of the day, and hussle his butt to help get everything done he promised. I was not letting him out of a dam thing. I would have if he called, but dam.

So Sunday he had to work also, he says it's alot faster than Saturday, and he promises again that he will be home between 9 and 10. I told him I didn't believe him, cuz his concept of time is all fucked up. (this goes back for 14 years so don't think I'm just bitching about his misconstrued time on one day) So...Sunday. 10 comes and goes, 11 comes and goes. He got home about 11:30. But I let it slide, because he did try to call, but since we don't have a phone working it was the cell phone and he forgot to turn it off of silent when we came out of the movie the night before. So..when I looked there were 6 missed calls. He did try to call. He was off the hook for Sunday.

Well I'm gonna go make faces at the phone guy. Hope you all have a great Monday!!!

P.S. sorry this turned out to be a very boring post. You can wake up now and go read another blog. hehehe

Humor in my House

Okay my mother in law is funny. Yes funny weird, but I mean funny ha ha this time.

She has been here for two and a half weeks. She stayed with us for a few days. She had kicked the renters out of their old house. And has been working on it. It looks as if she and the father in law may move back. At least in the winters. (they live in New Mexico) It's not a bad thing if they do. Seeing as most of Gigantor's sisters have moved away. They were the evil spawn creating all the problems with parents, and other of the siblings. It was horrid. Just sickening. But 4 of the 5 are moved away, and we have nothing to do with the 5th. And none of them keep in contact with us and we are fine with that. Anyhow. I'm getting off subject.

So....my mother in law has been here. And she has done a few things for me, since my back was out. She totally cleaned my kitchen. It looked so nice. And she did an amazing vacuum job. Got all the edges, and furniture. Well...the other day she was doing her laundry over here.

Well..She started to clean up the kitchen again. I was sitting at the table talking to her and doing avon stuff. I was watching her, sorta, out the corner of my eye. She was removing stuff off the counters and scrubbing them, and then doing the few dishes in the sink. Some bowls, glasses, and silverware. I vaguely remember her putting a box back under the sink. A box???

I smelled this familiar smell, but couldn't place it. It wasn't dish soap, it wasn't soft scrub, it wasn't the greased lightning. I just couldn't place it. So...she does those dished and dries them and puts them away. I don't think anything of it, and I go about my work.

After she left. I got thinking about it. And then I remembered I seen her put a box back under the sink. I go open the cabinet, and look in. There is a giant yellow arm and hammer box. But the giant yellow arm and hammer box is NOT baking soda. Which I think the mother in law thought it was. In fact, the giant yellow arm in hammer box, is indeed a big giant box of...dun dun dun.....Arm and Hammer Pet Fresh carpet deodorizer.

Then it hits me. OMG OMG OMG my mother in law just washed all my dishes and counters with carpet deodorizer!!!!!!!!!!!!! People were trying to eat off those dishes. I had to go in the cupboards and grab out all the dishes, not remembering how many it was, and re wash them and the counters.

She was trying to be so helpful...hehee and I had to re do the stuff...hehehe Ya just gotta laugh at that.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!

The Dragon in the Stall

Green for Dragons. hehehehe

As most of you know Gigantor walks and talks in his sleep. Not near as bad as when he was a little boy. But still on a monthly basis. Weekly if he's really tired. Well.....Kiddo inherited it. Neither of them are violent. Pretty entertaining actually. I've made sure the doors are locked up good. Cuz I don't want them wandering out. Just one of those things you have to learn to live with.

Well...last night, kiddo had been in bed for about 3 hours. 2 of which he wasn't asleep, cuz he was complaining of a stomach ache. I told him if he went to sleep I bet it would settle his tummy. I get sick to my stomach if I'm over tired.

Anywhoooo. Gigantor and I are in the bedroom watching Untold Stories of the E.R. Watching this guy with an ice pick shoved in his ear to the hilt. Saying he put it there himself to stop the voices of the demons. And if he took it out the demons would get out, and he couldn't let the demons out at home or they would posses his children. So he had had it in his ear for 5 days before going to the e.r. He finally decided it was fine for demons to be loose in he hospital.

And while we are watching this with mouths agape, we hear dad, Dad, DaD, DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD, just this massive screaming. I shout OMG He's screaming. Gigantor went running, slamming off of walls. Kiddo's room is at the complete other end of our house than our room. Gigantor goes skidding into his room, and this is the conversation.

G--WHAT'S WRONG????
K--I just wanted you to see it.
G--(realizing he's still asleep) see what bud?
K--The dragon (whispering and pointing)
G--Oh yeah?
K--see, he's roaming around eating hay.
K--Isn't he pretty
G--That is so awesome buddy
G--Is he here in your room bud??
K--*mumble mumble moan, smile*

Gigantor comes back in the bedroom smiling/laughing and going awwww. And tells me the story.

Okay I know, it's funny, but it's to dam cute too.

Only thing I don't like about this sleep walking thing. Well two things actually.

1. when he screams like that in the middle of the night we have a heart attack till we realize that some psycho isn't in the house chopping him to bits.

2. When he sneaks in the bedroom and puts his face within a 1/2 inch of yours and goes MOM. And you jump awake to face in your face. Your first reaction is to smack it. LOL

Okay Happy Thursday everyone.

THE TALK

Blue cuz it's Kiddo's favorite color, and since the humor in this post is at his expense. I'll make it blue for him.

You all remember "THE TALK" right??? The one where you wanna finally find out all about where babies come from??? My mother never gave me that talk, I had to find out from t.v. and friends...but I digress.

Anywhoo....I have been skirting around having this talk with the Kiddo. Basically cuz I DON'T WANNA (insert whinie voice here) Kiddo has known for a long time that babies come from mommies tummies. Hell he watches animal planet, I thought he would just "get it" ya know.

Other night after he was in bed, he comes out, and goes. "Mom, dad, I know babies come from mothers stomachs, but how do they get in there???" I choke/snorted and sorta screamed in a panic "YOUR FATHER WILL EXPLAIN IT" At which point Gigantor gave me the "deer caught in the headlights" look. He told Kiddo he would explain it on another day cuz it was way past his bedtime.

Kiddo goes to bed, and I sorta punch Gigantor in the arm and tell him "Nice way trying to get out of it butthead." Good part about that is, that he was so shocked still he didn't realize that I had just completely pawned it off on him. hehehehee

So Gigantor just informes me last night that a couple days after that he went and had "THE TALK" with kiddo. Gigantor being an E.M.T. wanted to be thorough. He also wanted to make sure he explained everything so that Kiddo would get all the information and be able to deal with is.

Gigantor tells me that he is going into some major detail actually. And Kiddo keeps looking at him confused, then trying to walk away. He has to keep making him come back, as he continues to explain. After "THE TALK" Gigantor asks kiddo if he has any questions. And Kiddo is like "uhhhh....no"

Now flash to the next morning. Kiddo is watching the cartoon Ed, Edd, and Eddy. And one of the boys goldfish has babies. And the boy is running around announcing the babies. Well....Kiddo spins around, with this stormy accusing look right at Gigantor, and screams. "SHEESH DAD, I ASKED THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I SEEN THIS CARTOON THE OTHER DAY, AND WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE GOLDFISH BABIES CAME FROM ON HERE. I DIDN'T WANT ALL YOUR GROSS EXPLANATION OF STUFF WITH MOMS!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gigantor's jaw dropped and I ran into the other room horking coffee out of my nose, cuz I was laughing so hard. hehehehe

I guess what I'm trying to say, is if you have kids, make sure they are really ready and wanting "THE TALK" before forcing it on them and causing them to need therapy for the rest of their lives. hehehehehe

Happy Monday everyone!!!!!!!!!

Saturday Shenanigans

Just sitting here relaxing on a Saturday. The hub unit is still out doing the grocery shopping (he said he would since my back) He had seemed to be doing much better last night and most of today, as far as male specimens go. But of course he had to drop in for a little while and ruin the whole thing. ugggggggg you men.

The kiddo is good, he went to the library, then up to the mom in laws old house to mess around a while.

The mom in law is starting drive me crazy. She came back to kick out her renters, and to get the house in some sorta shape so she can put it on the market. For some reason she keeps wanting us to go over all the dam time. For what I say??? I'm not into just sitting there on a bench in one room (cuz there are no chairs) while she is off cleaning in another room (and me having to sit and not clean cuz of the dam back issue) I'm sure it's cuz she wants Gigantor to help her with a bunch of stuff. But....dammit, then just ask him to go over so he can get the shit done, and come home. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

She decided we should all have a bbq over at her place, cuz a sister and her husband that doesn't even talk to Gigantor are in town. I didn't want to. They want to leave by noon tomorrow, so said the only way they would do anything with us, is if "mom" took everyone to breakfast. And she told them we would go. Which she then told Gigantor who told me. Which pissed me off. Ask me, don't tell me. And they don't want to see their brother any way so why the fuck should we go.

Then she also decided she was gonna still do the bbq tomorrow night with a niece and her husband and us. Again she told us.
1. Sundays are our relax day, to veg
2. Kiddo is bored to tears over there, and so am I
3. If these people wanted to interact with Gigantor they would on other occasions.
4. mom in law does everything late, say we ask for bbq at 5. We will get there, then she will decide that 5 is the time to run to the store to buy everything for bbq. We end up eating between 9 and 10.
5. Gigantor is a major bitch when he doesn't get his Sunday evening veg/relax/decompose for the following week of work.
6. When Gigantor is a major bitch, I'm a mega bitch!!!!

But you know what??? I'm gonna drag his dumb ass up there, and make him work his ass off all the following week. Because. BECAUSE!!!! he came in the house yelling about it and told me to tell his mom when she called that Tuesday would be better not tomorrow, and I said, "No you should have told her up there" He says "I didn't think about it" I said "Bullshit, you didn't want to confront her" He says, "I'm not telling her, just tell her when she calls."
I said "NO YOU FUCKTARD IT'S YOUR DAM MOTHER, PUT YOUR BIG BOY PANTIES ON AND DEAL WITH THE SHIT!!!" So...he's gone finishing the shopping, and I hope he's irritable. hehehehehee

Okay usually I don't wish ill on my husband. I love him so very much. But his family has always been a major issue with us. Basically because almost all of them hate me, and have told me to my face that they can't love or like my son because he is mine. So...I could care less who's feeling are upset, or who's panties are in a bunch, as long as they leave me alone. But Gigantor, has been afraid of them for all his life (youngest of 9, in a bad home) That he still bows down. I have decided it's not my job to help him in this anymore, he has to help himself. 13 years, I'm not gonna baby him anymore. Call it mean, call it heartless, I call it tough love.

I'm off to play with the Kiddo, he's in a giggley mood, and he's a funny little dorkster. hehehehe

Not as Bad

Well yesterday wasn't near as bad as I thought it was gonna be, so that is good.

I got up and hobbled out to the car, and took Kiddo, Captain Daddy, and the mom in law to the parade. I got there early enough that I got one of the two only benches along main street. whooohoooo go me!!!!

After the parade, we came home and did lunch, and vegged for a while till Gigantor got home. Then we went and bought some chicken and tater salad and mac salad. I told Gigantor to pick up cup cakes or a cake, (I didn't have time or back to make one) Cuz I still wanted to celebrate the day with that. Of course Mr. Shit for Brains, didn't get either.

We then drove down to the motels around the golf course (where the fire works are lit off) and some had parking for 15 dollars, some for 7. We found one had parking for 4 dollars. Then Gigantor decided to drive down to the golf course, and we asked the people there if we could park. They club owners said "of course, set your chairs and tables up on the green, we just ask no alcohol unless you buy it from us" (they do have to make money I guess) So...we back into the best spot around, and walk down to the green. Set up our table, and chairs, and get ready to eat. And Mr. Shit for Brains strikes again. He forgot the bag with the plates and silverware and napkins in it. The bag that I handed him on the way out the door. The bag that he had been forgetting and I/me/myself, personally put it in his stupid ass hand (cuz I needed both hands for cane and stuff down the stairs) Well...Mr. Shit for Brains, just up and put the sack down on the back of the couch for no apparent reason, and came out to the suburban. I asked him if he had everything, he said yes. I asked particularly about the sack (cuz of his shit he was pulling earlier) and he said yes. Then we get there and the asshat doesn't have the sack. So...we had to walk some chairs back up to hold the parking place while he drove home to get it.

So...we eat later than we wanted, and all of us were way hungry. Then of course we couldn't have desert....(asscheese man) So we are drinking our soda's and watching kids rolling down the hills at the golf course. Kiddo did his few rolls, and mom in law rolled with him. Then a couple ladies were walking through the crowds selling the light stick necklace thingies, so we bought a couple for Kiddo. And him and Gigantor played frisbee with them in the dying light. Killed time till the 9:30 time on the clock before the stupid city decided it was probably dark enough to do fireworks. It was a nice show. Nice with Captain daddy, and mom in law there. Of course Mr. Shit for Brains slept through the fireworks.

Sometimes I just take a deep *sigh* at putting up with him.

On a side note, my back is doing better after Monday's appointment. Little better each day. Now it only hurts when I try to stand up and when I walk (but it kills) I have an appointment tomorrow. Wish me luck to maybe get it taken care of.

HAPPY HUMP DAY TO ALL!!!

Hating the 4th

No I'm not hating the 4th because I'm anti american. I'm hating the 4th, because that is/was my mom's birthday. We always did a huge celebration the entire day for her birthday. We would get up and take her to the parade, and have breakfast while watching. We would take her to all the festivities at the park, get some navajo taco's or something for lunch. Then we would go home and cool down. Maybe go to the store or watch a movie. Then every year, mom wanted KFC and their cole slaw. She loved KFC cole slaw. So I would buy a meal, and make a cake, and we would go park to watch fire works, and have dinner and sing happy birthday and have cake.

But this year the 4th is bothering me. I don't want to play. I would rather stay in bed all day. I am missing her something horrible. Of course, since I am a mom, and want my son to enjoy the 4th, I will not stay in bed. I will suck it up and put on a happy face, even if I don't feel that way. And I will just cry later on my own.

Okay enough of that. uggghhhh My back is actually a little better, and not because I let it rest. No, it was getting much much worse on Friday and Saturday. By Sunday I had been crying from the pain. If any of you know me. I do NOT cry when I'm in pain unless it's dire dire dire pain. So...we called the chiropractor, and he actually did a house call yesterday. Thank god. He got my mid back to stop hurting completely, and actually got it so where I could move a little better. I'm still using my cane, but it's not near as bad as it was. I go in again this afternoon. Wish me luck, and lets hope it takes good care of it today.

I found this fun little quiz thing over at Miranda's blog. So...I'm gonna do that, and if you would like to, feel free. It was a little different, so that is cool.

Barely Movin

Just thought I would let you all know I'm still alive and breathin.

Monday night I threw my lower back/right hip out really really bad. I thought I could work it out myself on Tuesday, but I was in hell. Wed, I went to my chiropractor, and he worked on me quite a while, but I was still in spasam/pain hell. I got like 1 1/2 hours sleep last night, cuz every position hurt. So...I went again today. Everything is moving good, and is loose, but all the muscles are still tight and spasaming.

So...I'm in massive pain with no pain pills.

I will post more when I'm not clenching my teeth and praying for unconsciousness.

Is it Over??

OH Praise God the weekend is over!!!! We were so fricken busy. I don't think I got more than 1/2 hour to sit down on Saturday. And that sucks when you have foot, leg, knee, and back problems. LOL

Gigantor had to be to work at 5 a.m. on Saturday and go take his driving test for his CDL. Now Wed, he has to drive down to Flagstaff to get his license. He comes home at 8, we eat breakfast and take off. We had to deliver avon books, go to library, go the two grocery stores, go to post office, go find ink for the printer, and come home unload groceries. Take back off to deliver some avon, and take Kiddo and Big J to see X-Men 3. It was good. Then we had to go to some friends going away party, they are moving to GA. We were there till 9:30 in the backyard, standing around. Boy did I need pain meds when we got home. Everything was screaming.

Oh get this. I finally found printer ink. We used to have this office supply store here, well it merged with a book store (not to unusual) Then it merged with an Antelope Canyon tour company. (okay weirder things have happened in this small town.) Then it closed it's doors, and I couldn't get printer ink. I found it, I found where they moved. They have now merged with a convenience store/gas station. Only in this small tourist town could you find a gas/store/bookstore/tour company/office supplies in one small building with the same owner. hehehehe

Kiddo finished his mobile for the contest in the reading program. He stretched mine and Gigantors imaginations. Cuz we had to figure out how to draw/make a turtle, crab, shark, starfish, eel, clownfish, manta ray, octopus (it came out looking like a jelly fish so that's what it is.) he has all those hanging down, then the paper plate where it's hanging from has a boat on it and waves. Oh oh oh and hanging in the middle of it is a giant (tin foil) silver hook with a worm wrapped around it. I think it looks great. I hope he gets something for it. He worked hard.

OooOO and a word of advice that Kiddo wants me to pass on. Don't sneeze in the pile of glitter!!!!! You figure it out.

Okay well I know today that I am more boring than watching paint dry, or grass grow, so maybe I'll go sniff some paint and smoke some grass, and see what happens. hehehehe

Happy Monday everyone!!!!

What the Hell is PooFoo??

Okay I've been asked by some...what the heck poofoo is. Lovingly named by one of our friends, poofoo has been a main staple at our house. It's a must for every big family or holiday dinner, and for summer potlucks. Let me break down this very complicated and intricate recipe for you all.

PooFoo---Take one tub of whip cream, mix in one small box of cherry jello, mix in one tub of cottage cheese, then mix in one can of drained pineapple chunks, and chill.

OMG the work of that, I'm panting just typing it. *wipes sweat from brow*

Okay okay I know you all are saying "smart ass" Well yes I am!! hehehe

Haven't been posting last couple days. One reason is the gawd fucking mother dammit window unit in our dining room went out. Now I have an evaporative cooler. But the cocksucker who think they know how to construct a place put it through the floor vents, so it doesn't cool the house worth shit all!!! It cools the house about as good as an oven turned on warm. So...after the first year of literal misery (even with ceiling fans), cuz it's 115 mother bunny humping degrees outside, we bought a window unit for the dining room. It would cool the dining, living, and kitchen pretty well. Then we were still miserable so we bought one for our bedroom and kiddo's bedroom. Well...I came home from the reading program on Tuesday and there was this major thunking noise in the house. Major hell, it sounded like someone was using a fuckflippin jackhammer in here. One whole wall of my house is shaking and pictures are on the floor. I realize it's the window unit, and I mess with it trying to figure out if a support broke and it's just off balance or what. Husband gets home. I'm sweating and cursing (who me??? nah, I would never curse) He does the full inspection, and says what I fear. That he thinks something in the motor has gone out, and it's just a matter of time before it all goes out. And in my eye probably shorts out and burns my house do a pile of ash.

So, he calls our local True Value who can't have one till Friday fucking night, if they are lucky. Our first one was an 8000 btu, and I asked to price the bigger one's. True value said their 8000 was 170 bucks and the 10,000 was 245 bucks. So...on a whim we call Wal-mart. And OMG they had a 10,000 on their shelf for 194 dollars. YES, GOD IS GOOD, THE ANGELS SING DOWN UPON US, AND ALL CREATURES BE PRAISED!!!!! Can you tell I can't stand that heat, and need my fricken cooler??? Gigantor worked on it from 6:30 that night till 11. Poor guy. It was a monster too. It's almost as big as my dining room. hehehehe But that bitch works her tail off. It cools so well, and it's quiet, and the best part. It's remote control. heheheheh

Okay I could make this longer with a list of things a 10 year old boy shouldn't do, but I guess I will spare you till another post. hehehehe

A note for UnMartha. Hun, I keep commenting on your blog, but you have the "owner needs to approve comments before they show up" thingie enabled, so you haven't been getting my comments.

Have a good Thursday everyone!!!!!!!

Is it Summer or Not??

I wanna know if it's summer or not??? We have had a couple days where it's barely got to 90 for about an hour during the day (whoooohooooo) Most days it's over 100 for a good 8 to 10 hours. But I'm just confused. Arizona doesn't do this wacky with deciding to be hot. It's always hot, and keeps getting hotter from may till end of August. But this year, It's like it can't make up it's mind.

I babysat a couple kids yesterday. A friend of Kiddo's and that friends younger sister (not Big J and little Pixie, couple other kids) And the little sister, was just being a shit. Then I got really lucky. Right after eating lunch, she fell asleep (she's 7) She fell asleep till about 5, right after her mom got here. hehehehe whooohoooo Cuz Kiddo and the friend play together real well, so I didn't have to worry about them.

Gigantor took Kiddo and Big J down to the carnival tonight. I used to go with them. But, honestly it's not my cup of tea. So...I just let the boys all go and play.

I didn't do much for Captain Daddy or Gigantor for tomorrow. Kiddo wants to make them a card. And I have a small batteryless flashlight and visor clip that says #1Dad on it for each of them. So...I'm doing a nice dinner I guess. Ham, and mashed tatoes and red eye gravy, poofoo, and deviled eggs, and probably a cake. Hope they are happy with that. Better than a stick in the eye is what I say. hehehehe

Kiddo is trying to hit the reading hard, and I'm trying to help him. We joined the summer reading program, and every day we sit down and read. He has some books he can read to me. Then some of the little harder one's I read mostly, but save a small amount every couple pages for him to read. He's gone through 32 books in the past two weeks, and just checked out 20 more. I'm proud he's trying to work on it. Hope it will help him with next year.

Okay well I'm gonna go mess with putting up some new links on my sidebar, and over the next week or two, gonna talk to you all about some of the blogs I read that I don't think enough of you read. hehehehe

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blogs worth reading

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy Humpity Hump Day to all!!!!

Innocent Eye Flutters

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

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

Okay I'm done ranting today.

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

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

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

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

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

One of those days, or few days.

Okay I feel better now. I'm gonna go get my nails done tomorrow. Captain daddy said he would come down and sit with Kiddo, maybe watch a movie.

I think I'm gonna get them done in red white and blue flames. Cuz the next appointment won't be till after the 4th.

Have a good middle of the week everyone!!!

Staring gerbils creep me out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then I'm gonna go hide.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!!

Waiting for the Train

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy Thursday all!!!!!

Just Stuff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What???

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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