Balloons, Fires, and Football

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

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

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

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

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

Happy Hump Day to all!!!

Busy ass week

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

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

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

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

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

TRICK OR TREAT!!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my little guy is going at a grim reaper/crypt keeper/vampire zombie. It's sorta a mixture of them all. Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween.

But for some really great fun, as good as the cat bowling click HERE

Enjoy!!!!

No Tackle WHAT??

Kiddo finally got his football team. He's on the Broncos. yayyyyyyyyy I don't like that they just told them the team, and they start games next Monday. Doesn't leave alot of time for practice. Oh well...he has a good coach. And it's not tackle football. It's flag football. But we think some of the rules are ridiculous. I mean it's more of a game of keep away or tag. You aren't allowed to dive for the flag. If there is a fumble the ball just turns over to other team, no dog pile on the ball. Darn it.

I got the computer most the way up and running. I downloaded firefox. OMG I love it compared to explorer. It actually goes much faster, I love the tabs. And I don't have some little annoying things I can't get off of explorer.

I started a league with a couple friends. I like to go play games in pogo. Well you can go to this other site and get on leagues. Leagues run tournaments in pogo games. Alot of technical mumbo jumbo. But it's free and it's all fun. So...anyhow we started one, and I've been dinking with the pages, trying to find out how to put the graphics and other stuff on there. I've figured a couple things out. One with help of my sister. hehehehe

Not much else going on. Gonna go get some coffee. Have a good Monday Everyone

Oh for some halloween fun Go HERE

WTF????????

Go to parent teacher conferences, get great news. Then my computer crashes. I've had it in the computer e.r. for two days. Got it back and have had to upload everything again. What a shit storm.

I really really need a new computer or new hard drive. ugggghhhhhh

Now I just have to find someone with a Microsoft office disk and serial number that I can use to download again. It has outlook on it, which has my mail. hehehehe I can't even get my e-mail. Suck ass.

At least I'm on blogs. whoooohooo


Oh and on a side note....My child made straight A's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST TIME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone do the happy chair dance with me.

Our conference was over in 5 minutes, he's doing so well.

I'm off to stab a pumpkin repeatedly (get that anger out baby) Pumpkin festival tomorrow!!!


Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Parent Teacher

I know I haven't been on much past few days. Got parent teacher confrences today. Will blog after all that. May be somewhat interesting.

In other news, no more lost teeth yet. hehehehe

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Frequent Flyer

The tooth fairy needs frequent flyer miles!!! She did show up last night (or the hubby would be dead) But guess what happened today?? Kiddo lost another bunny humping tooth!!!! What the hell??? How many teeth can that kid lose in two months?? Obviously alot!!!
And get this....both his molars he lost, he lost them while eating bread.

I can't believe my mother in law. My husband works 12 to 14 hours a day, and every 3rd or 4th weekend. We have told her we will help here and there with stuff around their house. But we also told her that weekends were our only real family time. So...we had to even it out. She called up yesterday wanting Gigantor to work for her for 8 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday. She also wanted kiddo and I to come up and just hang out for that time period. Ummmmm not just no, but HELL NO!!! I don't have a problem with Gigantor helping, and us even going over for a few. But ain't no way in hell I'm going to "hang out" for 8 hours. And ain't no way in hell Gigantor is allowed to spend his entire weekends up there.

Well....I am off to kick somebody or something. I'm sure I will feel better then.

Happy Friday everyone!!!!

Lost Teeth

Okay
One 10 year old boy=
lots of loose molars=
losing a tooth at least once a month.

One lost molar=
tooth under pillow and lots of excitement

One tooth under pillow=
husband forgetting to put money under pillow when he got up at 3 in the morning=
one child crying that the tooth fairy hates him=
One VERY PISSED OFF MOM!!

That was the start of my day.

One pot of coffee later and I'm feeling a little less like murdering my husband. (he's been a pain about more than just the tooth let me tell ya)

Men stop reading now.

I swear when are men going to learn?? How can they constantly be stupider than a box of rocks. You would think they would learn after 14 bunny humping years, that they have to be the best they possibly can. WHY CAN'T THEY LEARN NOT TO PISS OFF, AGGRAVATE, AND IRRITATE THE WOMAN IN THE HOUSE FOR THAT SPECIAL 5 FUCKING DAYS A MONTH????!!!!!!!!! They all deserve to be tortured and bleeding when they can't learn this shit.

Okay maybe I do need another pot of coffee.

Happy hump day everyone!!

Gigantor got off early yesterday, helped me mail packages, and do some chit. Got kiddo's hair cut, pictures are tomorrow.

My mother never had any of her stuff in order. The state of Arizona and state of Texas could have taken her property. We sat on it real quiet for 6 months to see if they put in a claim on it. They didn't so we filed papers with a lawyer in July. I just now got the papers back. I now own the property where I grew up. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS pant pant
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS pant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay all I need to go to bed, it's 1 in the morning. ugggghhhhhhhh

Have a good Thursday everyone!!!!

Busy Days

Saturday's bbq went excellent. That is about all to say at that.
Friday had to go up to the inlaws, got stuck there till almost 9. ugggghhhh
Made Gigantor stay up and clean up for the bbq. Saturday he worked, and I made some stuff for bbq. Then took the boys to the matinee, then came home and finished up cleaning and stuff. Had a good time. About 14 people all total. Sunday we did some more cleaning up. And vegged a little.

Yesterday went out of town to take the kiddo to the dentist. He had a very good report from the dentist. Everything looks good. That broken tooth is almost all the way out and permanent one almost all the way in. So...looks good.

Then went to a pet shop (we don't have one here) got some supplies, and treats and toys for alot of the critters. Went and had us some lunch, then went over to Bookmans, a used book store. Must have spent a good 2 hours in Bookmans. Came out with a ton of books. I got 11 I think, Kiddo got 3, Gigantor got 10 or so, and we spent about 63 bucks.

Then let the guys go to a gun/sporting good store. The guy was so rude, they walked out. Captain daddy was ready to buy a riffle there, but they wouldn't even wait on him, so he walked out. CUSTOMER SERVICE DUMB ASSES!!!

We then went down to Cold Stone Creamery. We haven't had a cold stone ice cream in almost 2 years. So...we splurged and got one.

Went and got gas and came home. It's close to a three hour drive. We got home about 7 last night. I was dead tired. I wanted to go right to bed, cuz I did most the driving. I think Gigantor drove to one of the stores in town, and I drove rest of the time.

So...anywhooo that's a quick update. Hope you all had a good Monday.

Cherry Cream YuMmMmMMMm

Well the coffee pot is still broke, and I haven't got to the store to get another one. But...I did find the bags so I could have some of my tea.

Busy busy today. Getting ready for a bbq tomorrow. I was gonna have two friends over, and somehow it has exploded. Now there are at least 10 adults and 4 kids coming. hehehehe I need to get busy, do all the prep work.

Wanted to share a recipe I found and tried last night,and it ROCKED!!!!!


Cherry Cream Pie

1 graham cracker pie crust

1 block of cream cheese softened at room temperature
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 can of cherry pie filling
1 tub of whip cream

Cream the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer. Spread into bottom of pie crust.
In small bowl, combine pie filling and whip cream, mix until creamy and smooth. Spread on top of cream cheese mixture.
Chill

That's it, and it is soooooo good.

I don't have anything else for today, to darn busy.

Have a good Friday and weekend all!!!

Grrrrrrrrrr

THE FLIPPING COFFEE MAKER BROKE TODAY, IT WON'T MAKE ANY COFFEE, OR HEAT UP OR ANYTHING!!!! I think that is gonna be how my day goes...and that's bad enough to make someone go back to bed for the day.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


update---I went to make hot tea instead, can't find the bag thingies to hold the tea leaves. I then decided maybe hot cocoa would be the better bet. Seeing as we have this giant can, and if any of you remember I'm the hot cocoa horder. They family found the can, must have replaced it to my hiding spot, cuz the son of a bitch is empty. I have no warm drink unless I want to microwave my water. grrrrrrrrr

To top it off the bread is moldy, no toast, no sandwich. MOTHER BUNNY HUMPER!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Fishing Trophy's Batman

I have mentioned before that back in Feb. Kiddo caught some pretty big bass for out here. We put him in a fishing contest. Sent in his picture with the fish, and the weight of the fish and what he used to catch them. Since Feb he was in first place for the 16 years and younger category. The contest was to end August 31st. First place for all those months, then some slimey little 12 year old entered his fish on August 27th. hehehehe What a bummer.

But it was okay, because top three placers got prizes. I knew he was going to get a prize.

They had the ceremony on a place on the lake that was either an 8 hour drive away, or one long bumpy small plane ride away, and they could only take Kiddo on the plane.

1. Kiddo has never been on a plane, and is afraid of heights.
2. I don't know the people going from Adam
3. Ain't no fucking way people I don't know are taking my kid on a plane without me or Gigantor.

So....the park service guy came over last night to bring his prize. He got a Mitchell rod and a top of the line Mitchell spinning reel. It was from Bass Pro Shop, and nothing there is cheap.

He also got a nice, heavy, glass trophy. It says 2006 Lake Powell Fishing Contest, has a bass engraved on it, then the weight of his fish, 2nd place and his name. We didn't expect the trophy. I mean the prize was amazing but to get the trophy was like WOW!!

So it was a nice evening.

Can I just say MY KID ROCKS!!!!!!!!! lmaoooooooo

Okay Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!

Like Pie in your Face

I was gonna post a whole week of fart questions that have been on my mind, but maybe a little later. Was just gonna fill you all in on the weekend.

We held that yard sale up at my mom's. We had so much stuff. We got rid of way over half of it. Make a couple hundred bucks. Which thank god we did, cuz kiddo broke his tooth, and Gigantors u-joint on his truck went out. We had to buy them this weekend no matter what. ugggghhhh

We had a good time doing it, even if it was a little chilly. And I'm one bargaining fool. I want rid of my stuff, so if someone comes up and offers me a buck for something I have priced at 2 or 2.50 I'll take it. Cuz I don't want to keep my stuff any longer. hehehehe

We then cleaned up and went to the bank, to drop off some avon, and took kiddo and big J up to the fall festival. The fall festival is put on by the helping hands school (the school for special needs children and adults) Everything that goes on there is for the kids and the school. So...they have a silent auction of their artwork, which I always bid on stuff, and the food booths, and few game booths. Amazingly enough the boys didn't want to do the game booths, they are rather young games, like bean bag toss and ring toss. I think the boys are growing up a little. But.....

They had this booth were they had some top city guys, newspaper editor, teachers, pastors, radio guy...All came and put their head through the hole and you could throw pies at them. 5 bucks for a pie. (the pie was chocolate pudding and whip cream) My friends paid 15 bucks for the special needs kids to go get my husband and get him to put his head in the hole. So...Gigantor will do anything, and I mean anything for children, elderly, and special needs. He put his head through the hole for about a good half hour as he got pelted over and over again with pies. His entire head was covered, and in his ears, down his neck all over the front and back of his shirt.

After he got his head out, Kiddo and Big J were giving him crap, so he went up and hugged them and got them all covered. I had to send them all home to get showered and new clothes. They came back up and we all had a little something to eat. 37 fricken dollars for soda's and burgers. ahhhhhh But it was for charity.

Big J's parents took Kiddo for a while, and Gigantor and I ran about 5 more errands. Then we came home and I crashed on the couch. Gigantor went and got Kiddo and got the u-joints for his truck. Then he made and appearance at a bbq we were supposed to go too. I was so fricken tired though, and a little emotional from selling some of my mom's stuff. He said there were over 50 poeple at the bbq. I'm glad I didn't go. I was blah, and that was a big crowd I would have had to be polite and social in. Instead I slept for a couple hours on the couch.

Today we just cleaned up the house a bit and watched some tapes we recorded over the week. I also did some big avon orders.

Well...I'm gonna make it an early night.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Did you Ever??

Did you ever fart and it felt like razor blades coming out your butt????




I'm just askin.

What Happened to my Week??

That's the million dollar question. I have no idea. hehehehe

Nothing else of interest happened on Monday but we did have our steaks.

Tuesday--Kiddo had an eye appointment after school (since we have ins now) Gigantor likes to go with us to that stuff. He had the afternoon off scheduled for 3 weeks. He was supposed to get off at 2, so we could run do some errands. (go to the church get tables for the yard sale, mails some packages, check Captain Daddy's heater) At 1:45 Gigantors boss told him he had to go on a run out of town. Apparently the guy who does the out of town runs, fucked up major bad. Apparently he refused to go back out of town and fix it. And...the other 4 people who ran said they didn't want to either. Gigantor being low man on the totem pole had to go. I was a little ticked. (not at Gigantor, wasn't his fault) So...we rescheduled eye appointment till next week.

Wednesday--They didn't have me drive any kids after the church thing this morning. Probably good, cuz my blood sugar took a plumet and I was sick. (slightly hypoglycemic) Gigantor surprised me, got off early, so we could run those other errands. Brought kiddo home and a molar he said was loose. Broke---son of a b****...... Thank god it's not hurting him and we have a dental appointment on the 2nd. We have to go out of town to a pediatric dentist. Captain Daddy had come over and visited most the day, so I didn't get shit done. And instead of doing dishes or anything, Gigantor and I both fell asleep on the couch. hehehehe

Thursday---It's just this morning, but not much has happened. Kiddo put on his new black pants, then sat under a blanket for a while. A blanket that the dogs lay on sometimes. I had to attack kiddo with the lint roller, used like 10 sheets, and he still looked like a big white puff ball. I have to print out some yard sale signs today, to go hang around town. Also we need to go pick up the tables. I hope it goes well. I have tons of toys and kitchen stuff. Maybe people will be thinking about christmas and get the toys.

Hope you all have had an exciting week.

Happy Thursday!!!

Manic Monday

I got that song stuck in my head. Just another manic Monday, wish it were Sunday, that's my fun day, when I don't have to run day.

Okay enough of that. If the past two or three days are any indication of what's to come, then I won't be surprised if I get hit on the head with a falling meteor. hehehehe

Friday, Captain Daddy came down and visited and then took me to lunch. That was all well and good, but it just seemed like I was running the whole day and couldn't catch up.

Saturday, we delivered avon books, went to the post office and library, then went to get more stuff from mom's to go through. Of course we forgot the dam key, so we could only get stuff from the shed. Then we came home and went through all that stuff, and had some lunch. We grilled some burgers and watched Larry the Cable Guy--Health Inspector. That was funny.

Gigantor told me he needed more gas for the grill, so I told him not to forget to get it, cuz we were gonna grill steaks on Sunday.

Sunday Gigantor went up and basically unloaded mom's kitchen into some boxes, and came home with them. We had breakfast, then got busy going through all the stuff. Cleaning it up, pricing it, throwing away, or putting to one side for me and Alekx to go through. I have so much stuff for that dam yard sale and I don't have any tables. hehehe I need to get calling around. None of our friends have any, so I'm gonna have to call and see if I can borrow from the church.

Captain Daddy came to visit, and after he left, I couldn't get Gigantor's dumb butt off the playstation. He has a football game. Finally I blew a gasket that it was a school night and he better get them dam steaks grilled. So...he walks out, then comes in and goes, so what do you want for dinner? I'm like WTF?? He goes, I forgot to go get gas for the grill.

Well this ticked me off. Because Sundays have always been the one night out of the week, that we have a really nice family meal, and all sit down and enjoy ourselves. Instead he had to run to subway to get us stupid ass sandwiches. Needless to say he was in really big trouble.

I'll post more about today if anything else happens. But lets just say.. It's 8:30 in the morning, and I've almost been rundown or crashed into about 5 times. I wonder if people just can't see that huge ass suburban I drive. I mean crap people, stay on your own side of the dam road!!!!

Well...hope you all have a good Monday, I'm off to get some coffee.

Rolling Tumbleweeds

Down my street. Huge as car tumbleweeds. hehehehe It rained pretty nice for about 5 hours yesterday. Then today the wind is blowing with a vengeance. 25 mph regular with 40mph gusts. It was even a little chilly when we went outside this morning. But that is how the weather does here. up in the 90's one day, then BOOM it's fall and won't get over 60 something. It comes in with a vengeance and leaves just as fast.

I've decided that strawberry milkshake poptarts are one of gods greatest creations. hehehehe

I didn't get the camo nails. We did the colors, but couldn't do the patterns right. So...I opted for something just as odd for me. We went elegant. I never do that, I'm always wacky. hehehe So my nails are alternating with deep dark brown like chestnut, that's metallic, so it sorta shines with green or red hues when you move your fingers. And the other color is a bronze/gold metallic. Then on all of them I have these cream and gold flowers. Everyone is shocked I went so classy. Gotta keep them on their toes.

I ended up on the phone to the pharmacy twice and ins company fighting about my prescriptions. We just got our ins, and the prescription's are 12 for generic, and 40 for brand name. When I called and got the prices of my meds, the pharmacy said that one was 58 fricken dollars. I said no that's wrong, run it through the ins. They go we did, that's what the ins says, and they refused to re run it. So...I had to call the ins and get prices on everything, then I called the pharmacy back and was literally yelling like a banshee at them. Yes they fixed it. hehehehee I'm such a bitch.

OMG I was on the computer chatting with my friend and playing a game of gin. I take the last swig of my diet coke with splenda. And I don't know what happened I inhaled or exhaled or something, and it shot up my nose, to go out my nose. So...I fought it back, cuz I didn't want it spraying out my nose all over the computer and my new keyboard. Well in fighting it back, I guess I sucked coke right into my sinuses. Can i just say OUCHIE OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!!! My ear started burning and plugged till this morning, and I had massive pain in my sinuses for hours.

Yes, you call can say it .....DORK ASS!!!

Have a good Friday everyone!!!
