never take your phone to the potty.....

2007-03-16T22:36:00.000-07:00

All in all, it hadn't been a good day. Bad traffic, a malfunctioning computer, incompetent coworkers and a sore back all made me a seething cauldron of rage. But more importantly for this story, it had been over forty-eight hours since I'd last taken a dump. I'd tried to jumpstart the process, beginning my day with a bowl of bowel-cleansing fiber cereal, following it with six cups of coffee at work, and adding a bean-laden lunch at Taco Bell.
As I was returning home from work, my insides let me know with subtle rumbles and the emission of the occasional tiny fart that Big Things would be happening soon. Alas, I had to stop at the mall to go Christmas shopping.
I completed this task, and as I was walking past the stores on my way back to the car, I noticed a large sale sign proclaiming, "Everything Must Go!"
This was prophetic, for my colon informed me with a sudden violent cramp and a wet, squeaky fart that everything was indeed about to go.
I hurried to the mall bathrooms. I surveyed the five stalls, which I have numbered 1 through 5 for your convenience:1.Occupied.2.Clean, but Bathroom Protocol forbids its use, as it's next to the occupied one.3.Poo on seat.4.Poo and toilet paper in bowl, unidentifiable liquid splattered on seat.5.No toilet paper, no stall door, unidentifiable sticky object near base of toilet.
Clearly, it had to be Stall #2. I trudged back, entered, dropped trou and sat down. I'm normally a fairly Shameful Sh1tter. I wasn't happy about being next to the occupied stall, but Big Things were afoot.
I was just getting ready to bear down when all of a sudden the sweet sounds of Beethoven came from next door, followed by a fumbling, and then the sound of a voice answering the ringing phone.
As usual for a cell phone conversation, the voice was exactly 8 dB louder than it needed to be.
Out of Shameful habit, my sphincter slammed shut.
The inane conversation went on and on. Mr. Sh1tter was blathering to Mrs. Sh1tter about the sh1tty day he had. I sat there, cramping and miserable, waiting for him to finish. As the loud conversation dragged on, I became angrier and angrier, thinking that I, too, had a crappy day, but I was too polite to yak about in public. My bowels let me know in no uncertain terms that if I didn't get crapping soon, my day would be getting even crappier.
Finally my anger reached a point that overcame Shamefulness. I no longer cared. I gripped the toilet paper holder with one hand, braced my other hand against the side of the stall, and pushed with all my might. I was rewarded with a fart of colossal magnitude -- a cross between the sound of someone ripping a very wet bed sheet in half and of plywood being torn off a wall.
The sound gradually transitioned into a heavily modulated low-RPM tone, not unlike someone firing up a Harley. I managed to hit the resonance frequency of the stall, and it shook gently.
Once my ass cheeks stopped flapping in the breeze, three things became apparent: (1) The next-door conversation had ceased; (2) my colon's continued seizing indicated that there was more to come; and (3) the bathroom was now beset by a horrible, eldritch stench. It was as if a gateway to Hell had been opened.
The foul miasma quickly made its way under the stall and began choking my poop-mate. This initial "herald" fart had ended his conversation in mid-sentence.
"Oh my God," I heard him utter, following it with suppressed sounds of choking, and then, "No, baby, that wasn't me (cough, gag), you could hear that (gag)??"
Now there was no stopping me. I pushed for all I was worth. I could swear that in the resulting cacophony of rips, squirts, splashes, poots, and blasts, I was actually lifted slightly off the pot. The amount of stuff in me was incredible. It sprayed against the bowl with tremendous force. Later, in surveying the damage, I'd see that liquid poop had actually managed to ricochet out of the bowl and run down the side on to the floor. But for now, all I could do was hang on for the ride.
Next door I could hear him fumbling with the paper dispenser as he desperately tried to finish his task. Little snatches of conversation made themselves heard over my anal symphony: "Gotta go... horrible... throw up... in my mouth... not... make it... tell the kids... love them... oh God..." followed by more sounds of suppressed gagging and retching.
Alas, it is evidently difficult to hold one's phone and wipe one's bum at the same time. Just as my high-pressure abuse of the toilet was winding down, I heard a plop and splash from next door, followed by string of swear words and gags. My poop-mate had dropped his phone into the toilet.
There was a lull in my production, and the restroom became deathly quiet. I could envision him standing there, wondering what to do. A final anal announcement came trumpeting from my behind, small chunks plopping noisily into the water. That must have been the last straw. I heard a flush, a fumbling with the lock, and then the stall door was thrown open. I heard him running out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.
After a considerable amount of paperwork, I got up and surveyed the damage. I felt bad for the janitor who'd be forced to deal with this, but I knew that flushing was not an option. No toilet in the world could handle that unholy mess. Flushing would only lead to a floor flooded with filth.
As I left, I glanced into the next-door stall. Nothing remained in the bowl. Had he flushed his phone, or had he plucked it out and left the bathroom with nasty unwashed hands? The world will never know.
I exited the bathroom, momentarily proud and Shameless, looking around for a face glaring at me. But I saw no one. I suspect that somehow my supernatural elimination has managed to transfer my Shamefulness to my anonymous poop-mate. I think it'll be a long time before he can bring himself to poop in public -- and I doubt he'll ever again answer his cell phone in the loo. And this, my friends, is why you should never talk on your phone in the bathroom.

YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY AND ITS POLICIES

2007-03-12T12:36:00.000-07:00

i feel like i have to share this with everyone who reads. and if you feel so inclined please copy and send to all parents out there!
this is in regards to YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY! several months back, i was at the lynnwood public library with all 3 of my children. as everyone well knows the library has computers, several, with internet access!!! most people use this access for schooling, research, playing games, chatting ... daily grind right?? oh and just incase your public library differs from mine, the computers are sunken into a table, and have these so called privacy screens... privacy my ass!!! you can still see what anyone is surfing plain as day! you simply walk behind them, uh, as you have to do anyways ! soooo with that said...
several months back we were all wandering around the library and in search of a certain section....one of my kids was on a computer doing some research, and had printed out a few things. (printers are located at the end of every row of computers) he went to go retrieve these items from the printer and found some pornographic pics printeds and waiting to be picked up! first of all... OMFG! so i went round the tables behind everyone untill i located person surfing porn. i was disgusted. anyone walking by could have seen this ! dude is sitting there with one hand in his crotch ... IN A PUBLIC PLACE..... WHERE CHILDREN ROAM FREELY.... surfing porn. well with me being who i am (you who know me personally can just imagine) i just caused a hell of a scene! i stood my ground where i was and started calling him a petifile etc. there are kids around etc....
i demanded to speak to a librarian in the head dept of the library.... i told her situation, what i was upset about etc. she in turn told me there was nothing SHE could do... so i asked for the person in charge here. the person i spoke with i was very clear about what kind of an issue this was, that indeed this is a place where children roam freely, it is indeed a SAFE zone for families, etc ... and i was horrified and appallled that this sort of surfing and printing could possibly be totally legal. again, i was assured this is totally legal. it has some shit to do with peoples constitutional rights. ok, i get that ....... but what part of PUBLIC PLACE, and CHILDREN PRESENT is nobody concerned with?
with that said........ i was outraged. and promptly left. several times since i have been to the library.....
about a week ago... there was a shocking story on the news about a little girl having been cornered and fondled in a local library........ UGHH! this could have been prevented somehow, i am sure of it. if perverts werent sitting in local libraries staring at porn on computers , maybe they wouldnt be interested in little girls right there under there nose! not to mention, all the nasty offenders out there in our communities ... uhm, evidently the library is the perfect place to go ! children and free porn access!!! bullshit! i was shocked when i heard this news story.... so you can imagine how i felt when my 12 yr old on saturday upon LEAVING the library told me that the man next to him was surfing some pretty nasty porn. ok my kid was on a computer at the library doing research .. again... and could totally see what dude next to him was surfing.... (ya, like i said before privacy screens my ass!!!) so now i feel the need to let the public know just what our local libraries are saying is a persons constitutional right! i will also be calling the local news stations today, maybe sending this via e mail. lets see what the public has to say about this when they all finds out! i think some pretty outraged parents will emerge?! maybe we as a community can stop this sort of thing from being permitted in a place where children frequent!!!
please pass this on!!!
WELL WELL!!!! i am here again, to report that i have just called all the local news stations, and they are not interested in letting the general public know that people are allowed to view and print this crap on computers in local libraries.... and you will also be appalled to find out that there is nothing we as a community can do, other than write our legislators!!! i am outraged!!! I feel i can no longer take my children to the local library without constant supervision! that sux! they should bve able to roam freely in a library!!!
im going to do some major research now, and find a way to make this a widespread knowledge! c'mon people,. fight with me here.... take our public library back for our kids sake, and for their children.. good god .... no wonder other countries want to bomb us!!!

Name that post!!!

toodles bloggypals..........

2007-02-13T13:50:00.000-08:00

Wow, is it really only tuesday bloggypals??? it feels like thursday next week....lol
getting ready for valentines day with the kids and the parties they will be having at school..... now i know why my mom always wanted to pull her hair out.
EXCEPT........at this moment i have some real bitches to let out...
i am beginning to have some serious doubts about our school system as of late. first of all, we are supposedly focusing on raising the bar.... raising the standards on the wassl..... what ever man! in raising the standards on the wassl... and trying to cram all the extras into an already crowded year.... kids are falling behind. the pad excuse is that the parents at home arent doing enuff to help their students along. BULLSHIT! maybe some of them dont, but let me just enlighten you to ONE day in the week of my household after school... then let me know if my parenting is helping the school along !!!
3:30 pm school lets out
4:00 pm kids get off bus
4:05 pm start homework........... as follows
W. (kindergarten) has 20 minutes of reading, 3 written assignments.... one each of Reading/launguage arts , everyday mathematics , challenge work. (creating your own book, pics and words etc.) she is usually done by 5 pm or 5:30, depending on her challenge work.
now W is the top kid in her class, her teacher said she worries that W may get bored, she is too smart but not yet ready for first grade. there fore, she isnt behind. however mnore than half her class still does not recognize letters or their sounds, much less read! she is far ahead! this is partial to PARENT HELP AT HOME. i do not have a job, therefore i spend all my time being a mom!!! it has made a huge difference in her schooling. ok, now on to K

K daily homework is as follows (he also starts his homework at 4:05pm)
K is a 3rd grader, he has math taps (flash math ) any written work, weather it be math or history etc. , reading for 20 minutes....a test on that reading, p.e. homewrok....(since when do you get phys ed homework???) and whatever report they arte working on in class for the month. this month it is on presidents. so he has to log online and researchg his pres for facts.... and make a small report every day to be turned into a large report. so, K roughly gets done with all that between 5:30 and 6pm. oh, and that is of course if he has no work to be corrected from the day before. then i have to sign three different papers to ensure the kids get credit for the reading and math taps. GOOD LORD!!!! now what again were you saying oh high and mighty government official that parents just dont get involved enough??? sure theres parents that dont have time, but dang people, we help our kids emmensely with schooling, and it still sometimes isnt enough. dont our tax dollars pay the salaries of teachers .... to teach our children???
now its dinner and then bedtime. I want to know where the teachers have no time to teach these everyday things in class??? and what about the kids whom dont have a parent at home all the time with the actual time to spoend on all this work daily? is this why our children are failing the wassl? because we rely on the teachers to teach, and they are relying on the parents to teach? ITS A VICIOUS CIRCLE HERE.... !!! i volunteer in the class from time to time, and i see so many kids struggling to keep up with the pace, especially those who speak less english. if they can hardly understand, what makes the teacher think the parent at home is going to understand it any the better?
here we are (in our schools anyway) about to start our MID-WINTER break for a week. and shortly thereafter we will get winter progress reports, i know my kids are doing fabulous. JT is even getting A's ..... props to him!!! but what about all the kids who still arent up to par? we are halfway through the year now. i am saddened by the way our government has decided schools should be run. does anyone else have the same kinda problems as i do, or is it just washington state???
you know what, for michelles sake........ i will say that most teachers do an excellent job with what they are given, because 'chelle i know your mother was a teacher and a damn fine one too. but c'mon folks, whats gonna happen to our future generations if the teachers cant even manage to teach kids to freakin read???
ok rant is finished for the moment.......... but im sure i will be coming back to this one!!!

finally some pics of mom....

2007-02-08T13:42:00.000-08:00

new pics yay.....

Wow, busy busy girl I am.....

Well, we have had the flu make its rounds throught he house..... hopefully for the last time this year! what a hellacious flu it was too! good lord. K didnt even move for 2 days! high fever, achy body... deadly headaches... but nice enuff, hardly any vomiting. its the vomitousness i cant take!
J.T. came down this weekend, he is growing so fast... he is inches (literally) from passing me up. said he joined the wrestling team. i think he should be playing basketball.... but theres lots of time for that. hes so handsome... the girls wont leave him alone. poor me. lol.
W is just growing so fast too... shes about as independant as they come, and super opinionated... tells it like it is, doesnt care if you like it or not...... hmmph, i wonder where she got that from??? couldnt be her mother could it?? lol, i finally asked my mother if i ws this bad (not that she is bad ...cuz shes not... just strong willed) she laughed hysterically at me... and told me if my lil girl was anything like me, it was only gonna get better (meaning worse lol). i dont recall being so strong willed and opinionated ..... but i must have been to have become who i am today! if thats the case, then my daughter is off to a great start... she should be a lawyer. god knows i would be if i hadnt gotten pregnant in my senior year...... no regrets! just wonders lol.......wonder who id be today ... where id be today.... etc. i think we all have those.
i had a bazillion things i wanted to blog about the last couple of weeks and for the life of me, i cant remember any of them. lol, this is why i should carry around a paper pad and pencil. then i could just jot it down when i thought of it..... someday i will learn to take my own advice as i told myself this very thing last time i went to blog a buncha stuff and forgot it!!! i have just been far too busy ....
no excuse........ i know.......
maddening it is! lol
hmm, well as i am just too pooped to type..... i shall return later

Well I must admit, the courts really pushed this one through fast!!! If you haven't read it, I suggest you go and read http://figfatmeanie.blogspot.com/2006/12/i-am-in-awe.html that post. If indeed you have read it, then you will completely know what I am talking about . I finally got my subpoena in the mail this week. The subpoena says he is having a jury trial. Omg ... does that mean he realy pleaded not guilty???? With all those witnesses and a few who helped kick his ass so as to be able to help her? You have got to be kidding me!! Does this jerk really think he can get off??? Un believeable! in any case... I really hope all the others who were there show up. I go to court on the fifth, as a witness.....however i wonder how many days we will have to go.
OMG!
I just realized that the fifth is on monday! wow! they dont send you notice very early do they? lol
well that is all for now... wish the lil gal luck, lets hope we have a smart jury... not an O.J. Simpson jury!

Book Meme

2006-12-28T22:34:00.000-08:00

I am currently engrossed in Steven King's The Green Mile. What an excellent movie, but a FABULOUS book!!! I have a hard time putting it down at night. ok most of you will remember how the book meme works. Incase you don't...
you go to the exact page I have listed and then type the paragraph I have specified... we all learn a bit about a book we may not have read before (big smile) I love to read.
THE GREEN MILE, STEPHEN KING
PAGE 292 PARAGRAPH 3
"Edward Delacroix," Percy was saying, "electricity shall now be passed through your body untill you are dead, according to state law."
I looked over at Brutal in an agony that made my urinary infection seem like a bumped finger. the sponge is dry! I mouthed at him, but he only shook his head not understanding, and looked back at the mask over the frenchman's face, where the man's last few breaths were pulling the black silk in and then blousing it out again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you are enjoying your book as much as I am. I am eager to see what you are all reading.

The kids and I went down to Richa's yesterday, and we had a blast! I took brutus with us, her kids loved having a dog around. We made a bag of popcorn.... and her 2 yr old ...Z... went out to sit with the "poopy" (the dog lol) in the living room with his bowl of popcorn. I gave brutus a handful of popcorn (his most fav treat) and Z watched intently as brutus ate one piece at a time. When every last piece was gone, of course brutus proceeded to go sit with Z....in hopes of getting more of course! lol, it was so cute, Z went into the kitchen, got a spoon out of the drawer and went and sat back down with brutus. Richa and I were wondering what the hell he needed a spoon for popcorn for lol. Z is now feeding the dog (the poopy lol) one piece of popcorn at a time on the spoon. lol, we figure it was so he didnt accidentally get bit, although bru would never ever bite the hand that gives him a treat :) nonetheless it was adorable!
We managed to make peanut butter kiss cookies, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies and cupcakes.... omg, what a nightmare. lol keeping track of so many different cooing times, and ingredients was awful. but we vowed this will be a yearly thing, every year for the kids. they had much fun, making, and rolling and decoratiung. it was a joy to see them all covered in different colors of frosting, and making very cool looking cookies. they made dradel's and the candle thingy that goes with it, for hanaka, and they made angels and stars and reindeer and snowmen .... then they decorated the crap out of them, lol. what a mess! but still so much fun. and i cant believe it, but somewhere in there we managed to get dinner cooked too! i was impressed!
on a different note, i called harborview medical center, and still they couldn't tell me if that girl was alright or not because of privacy acts. i thought maybe the mother would have been kind enough to release that information for us who helped her. as a last rsort, i had a brainfart and decided to call the local walmart where it happened, and ask a manager if they had happened to hear any news on the girl. as it turned out, the mother had just called a few hours prior, and informed the store that her daughter had made it, much surgery had to be done, but that she was going to be home for x mas..... thank god! i am so glad she was ok, and im so happy for her children not to have lost mommy to something so horrid and tragic right before x mas! yay, she made it! im so stoked!!!!!
well, off to go read my book, totally into it..... reading the green mile! will post a new book meme tomorrow!
bye all.............

I am in awe.....

2006-12-15T20:31:00.000-08:00

I went to the local walmart this evening......supposed to just buy a few things and leave. pshaaaaa right! you never get it that easy at wally world!!! So I am leaving and I get to my car, putting all my stuff away..... and i hear this godawful bloodcurdling screaming "help me, somebody help me please" i look over my shoulder and there is this poor young girl trapped in her car, while some guy is leaning into her drivers side window lunging at her.... wierd.
she screams louder, so i slam my trunk and go running, at the same time two other girls come running as well.... we all are trying to kick this guy, and get him out of her window( after all we are just females lol) he finally falls down with a swift kick to the nuts, and me and another girl pull this poor blood soaked girl out of her car. meanwhile 3 dudes come out of nowhere seeing 4 women in distresss, one of which is bleeding profusely, and they tackle dude to the ground beating the everloving shit out of him in the process. im yelling for people top call 911... (why do people just stare??? instead of help???) and asking for anyone who has a blanket in their car to go get it please as she is going into shock. i cant tell where all the blood is coming from... but its pouring out of her. i covered her in blankets and tried to keep her talking .. coherent.... ALIVE. it was damn near 10 minutes before a fucking FIRETRUCK got there, and this girl was fading fast..... then the cops get there... and yell at me to move, i yelled back no, im not going ANYWHERE untill the emt's get here! she asked if i could get her mommy , and stated she dident want to die. i asked if she knew her moms number , we got someone else with a cell phone to call her mother , and put her dying self on the phone with her mommy.......... poor girl, even moreso, poor mommy. there are like 7 people on the phone with 911 at this point, still no ambulance! bullshit!!! in trying to keep this girl alive, not falling asleep... ( she sure tried to , let me tell you) the only thing i can think of is keep her talking... no closing the eyes, dont let her give up! so i made her talk... i found out she was a 22 year old mom of 2 beautiful little twins 3 yrs old. her kids were with her mom at that time, that he was the ex boyfriend who she had recently left because he was abusive, and that he had stabbed her that she was aware of in her head, her back, her stomach, her shoulder, and 3 other places... can you say insane??? so now people are starting to stand around and gawk! how morbid, with their children even! some people are so fucked in the head... ya um, let your kids see a girl dying in the walmart parking lot surrpunded by a pool of blood? wtf is wrong with you? im sitting with this girl, keeping her as calm as i can, and she tells me, shes tired , shes sooo tired and she cant feel a thing in her whole upper body, the pool of blood is getting larger, and its getting harder to keep her awake and alert. 15 minutes pass and FINALLY A FUCKING AMBULENCE GETS THERE. she goes to harborview and we all fill out statements, i myself cant wait to testify against this prick. you know i cant even begin to tell you how much this story isnt as whole as it could be.... i just cant find the proper words to describe my experience. all i want is to know if she made it! if she is ok? there was so much thick pooled blood around her i cant fathom that she didn't die. it would be a miracle!
he was stabbing her with a fucking 6 inch hunting knife! in her own car people! she couldnt get away from him. it was insane!!! i hgave nothing else to report for now, except that i saw in the paper she was transported to harborview for "treatment of her wounds" but it didnt specify if she lived or not, i cant see how she could have to be honest! but because of privacy laws they wont tell me anything. i was like listen, i know the privacy laws as they are, ok, and thats great, but i spent 15 almost 20 minutes fighting with this girl to keep her alert awake and alive untill your fucking ambulence bothered to get there, and all im asking is " is she alive" and they still gave the ol speech about privacy act!!! now thats some shit right there! if she lived i suppose i will only find out when i am subpoena to go to court and testify as to what i witnessed! along with the others who were there. hmph! well im so done typing for now.... see ya later...

OUR TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK.....psshhaaaaa right!

2006-12-10T21:15:00.000-08:00

ALRIGHTY THEN! This is a secret from the website WWW.POSTSECRET.COM and I for one am really pissed about this particular secret! Ok most of us have been down on our luck at one point or another and had to get on welfare, some ssi, others unenjoyment, to list a few government organizations.... oh and the tax people,. let us not leave those fuckers out!!! Anyways, this secret disgusts me, because I have known friends to have had their paperwork "lost" at several different places , from the welfare office to the damn food bank, ok! And you know its bull cause you were the one who drove the friend to hand deliver said papers right?? right! So what makes this person justified in screwing others' lives up because they dont "feel " like doing? and wtf???? ummmmm our tax dollars are paying this asshole to shred some poor girls welfare documents because its too much work? what if that person has nobody else? what if her baby needed that section 8 to survive and have a roof over their heads? It's really a shame to read a secret like this , especially at christmastime, as i have a friend who is struggling to give her daughter a x-mas this year, asked the food bank for help, filled out papers right there, (i took her there myself!) and magically said papers cant be found, they show no record of her having filled them out, so she was not sponsored for x-mas, and will not be having a very good one as a result. this girl needed help, and did all she could, filled out some fucking pencil pushers paperwork...... only to be heartbroken in the end. I wonder if it was you whom wrote this secret that fucked up my friends christmas??? I feel like sending this picture to ... a congressman.... or something..... don't you? aren't you outraged that because of people like this others who have less than most could be suffering? MY TAX DOLLARS PAY THIS PERSON TO SCREW WITH OTHERS LIVES, and he or she will never have top pay!!!! its a sad sad thing I tell ya! I am furious, and I am going to find a way to stop it! *tapping side of forhead**.... "think, think think," as Mr. poohbear would say!

Santa anyone?

One of those days...

2006-12-07T20:42:00.000-08:00

Well dammit!!! it really has been one of those days... as I just managed to have my breaker box flip and lose a post I have been working on for over an hour!!! When I got up this morning, I felt like Garfield here looks! and I'll be damned if it wasn't a hell of a day.
Let's see .... since I lost my other post I can never ever put it back into the same words, so it is gone forever. hmmmm (shrug) now what? Suppose a person has a certain dream , and the first time they have it, they almost forget it soon after they wake. bits and pieces of it just sort of slip away. The next night said person has same dream, awakens remembering a little bit more than the night before. It was a strange and frightening dream. Frightening in a sense of it simply could not be understood. On the third night the person has the exact same dream.... awakens remembering every single detail! dying to tell someone about it, person calls a buddy whom cant decipher it either. both agree its strange, but simply can't MEAN anything, theres nothing remotely close to specific details anywhere around persons area so not to worry. On the fourth night ....... no change, same dream.... what does it mean? how do you decipher a dream? and why are so many important people missing in it? why is it just person and persons certain child ..... in each and every dream? wierd? Tonite is night 5 for person....... what will the dream be this evening???
NEXT...
Oh I can't forget to blog about this....I have found Michelle, I have found Nephtalie, I have found several people from my past that were important to me, but omg! I hit the jackpot.... Richa I finally found you!!! Of the few people I wanted to find from that part of my past ... you were the top of my list girl! I can't believe how emotional I became when i found Richa's webspace. She was my rock through some of the worst times I am surely ever to endure! Glad to have re-located you girlfriend! it's been a long time coming. I only hope our kids will get along.
well crap, I can't even think about what to type, soooo, I will chew on some ideas for my post tomorrow, and spit them out when i log in .... lol :)
nitey nite bloggyland......

Boycott TBS among others....

2006-12-06T18:13:00.000-08:00

Well, I must say I am flabbergasted, offended, and highly irritated at TBS among other stations. After a certain hour, uh...10 pm for tbs, AHEM!!! They feel free to advertise these commercials for Girls gone wild and Boys gone wild. Ok, now I am not in any way saying that there is anything WRONG with these commercials....HOWEVER it seems that with the content of these commercials it would be better fit after midnight or 1 am! I mean comedy central which is indeed an adult channel, or maybe a mature channel is better said. in any case, comedy central wont even put an uncut comedy show on, unless it is FRIDAY or SATURDAY and its after 1 am. That to me says comedy central has a bit of class! Here's what gets me.... uhhmm...ya! TBS is supposed to be a family channel.... soooo you can imagine how pissy I got when I was watching a FAMILY movie on a Family channel WITH my KIDS and these commercials played repeatedly on every commercial break! What the hell is wrong with this channels owner??? Ya I think it's highly innapropriate to have commercials of this nature on , i have a 12 yr old....on the cusp of 16 (lololol) hormones-a-ragin' and he sees this insane portration of what is supposed to be ok to do, right alongside my lil k and w... whom are far too young to see this shit! Who do I bitch about this to? I want to call the corporate office and just blow my top! How dare they say they are a family channel and put this kind of soft porn (which is exactly what it is) on the network at the same time as an advertised "family movie"??? anyone??? how much fucking money do they get per commercial that they feel it is ok to then put it on a family timed slot? don't get me wrong... other networks play these very same commercials... but at a waaaay later time slot! grumble grumble... what has this world come to? What message are we sending our young generations with this kind of commercial? My god have any of you seen these commercials... ??? They are downright horrid!! anyway .... I am boycotting TBS , I dont care if my favorite movie ever is on TBS and I havent seen it in years, I wouldn't wath it simply because then I would be giving them one more person on the rating. For the record....... i am not a stick in the mud kinda gal, I can roll with the rest just fine, but I do have children, and i feel that a family network should be just that FAMILY ORIENTED! I have a few opinions about MySpace now that I've made an account to keep tabs on my oldest..... but I will save those opinions for a later date.....lol

WOW! wonders never cease to amaze me...

2006-12-02T21:48:00.000-08:00

Well hello bloggy pals....... i know its been a while, and for that i am so apologetic.... but in my defence I HAVE A LIFE TOO! lol just kidding. went to the library today and checked out a few interesting new books. the first one i am going to read is called fire and brimstone. its about the north butte mining disaster of 1917. looks to be a pretty good read. cant wait to get started. omg, when i finally got done grabbing books and dvd's and cd's for each person in the house, i ended up with a check out of 28 things .... um can you say caralyn's own private library , lol..... omg! thats a lot of things to keep track of. sheesh! i also went to wally world today..... and ran into one of my dearest , my bestest, (girl i have sure missed you! ) friends in the whole world......whom i lost touch with about 12 years ago. we stood in wally world in the middle of the aisle just asking questions about one another and talking like we saw eachother just yesterday. we exchanged numbers, and i think its fabulous that we bumped into one another! i cant wait to meet her children. i often wonder whats become of a lot of my old high school chums....several i know about, now i also know what became of jessica...... but there are some out there whom i have googled and found nothing on, Chuck Albertson.... where r u? Nephtalie Stackhouse..... i finally found u on myspace last night!!! woot woot! J.R. Henry.... whatever happened to you ??? Danielle Garner and Michelle Fenlin... my best girls right beside jess.... where the hell are you guys??? wierd how we just ooops .... run into someone after years, and then reminisce about the times you hung out together oh so long ago.... like omg, jess if u found my blog, you are about to crack up.... remember when i went to school with you and Tyler for the day, it was a friday that i didnt have school. anyways we split up the day i went to half your classes that day and half of his. but i walked home with you. and when we got to the street we decided to race to your house.......... and i strait tripped and fell flat on my face and scraped up my chin and nose.... do you remember? omg that was soooo funny!!! i miss the skate deck days !!!!!!!!!!!!!oh to be a teenager again, lol..... i know what my teenage son is gonna be up to ........ lmao......

Update on Caterpillar.....

2006-09-26T22:02:00.000-07:00

Wow............ it would appear W rescued that caterpillar just in time. We noticed the very next day it was beginning to shed its hairs. halfway thru the day it had shed half its hairs, in a bowl kind of shape around him....wierd.... we kept watch on it all day long....

Caterpillars....and kids......

2006-09-23T18:37:00.000-07:00

this particular caterpillar is going to be a Spotted Tussock moth. And W found it in the rocks by our house... she has decided to call it "Cattie". I got her a big jar, we collected some leaves and grass and twigs and Cattie had its new home........... poked some holes in the lid "so cattie doesn't SUFFORCATE mommy" (lmao) i wanted to know what it was gonna turn into now that my lil W wants to bring the thing IN THE HOUSE , not to mention every where else she goes. where she goes, so does the jar full of grass and bug! lol. anyhow i googled "caterpillars" and a huge selection of websites came up. however...one site in particular was just the best informationally (uh, is that even a real word lolol)anyway, it was....
http://www.whatsthiscaterpillar.co.uk/
it has hundreds of pictures of different caterpillars, so you can look up what is infesting your yard... way cool!!! i was impressed with this website. i located quickly the exact caterpillar my daughter is housing, and it told me what it would turn into. Neat!!! theres a ton of other information on it too, like how to care for caterpillars... i reccommned this site to any of you parents out there whom have children who like to raise bugs too lol.

Holding vitamin conversation.....

2006-09-16T23:37:00.000-07:00

ok, i am not allowing my blog held hostage by some freak!!!!!!!!!!!
on that note......
JT,K & W are sitting down to lunch today....mmmm yummy mac n cheeze...scrumptious orange jello and peaches, S starts asking "wheres your veggies?" and chatting with the kids about different foods and how they all give you different nutrients, etc,etc, and how thats why we have you take vitamins to make up for things you might be missing , etc etc.... lol... the kids are pretty used to this speech as he gives it probably every other day. so at the end of his speech ...lol.... W turns and looks at her daddy and says "your always on your vitamin thing" rofl... omg it was so funny... she absolutely hates vitamins, and we buy the yummy ones. we buy flintstones. mind you i have bought every brand from gumballs to gummies. heres the problem....
1. gumballs........ 2 x daily
(reminding you i have 3 kids....and vitamins are not cheap)
2. gummies........3to 4 x daily...(depends on brand)
3. centrum for kids.... 1 chewable...... i wont even eat them they taste like shit!
4. flintstones for kids.... 1 chewable .....yummy these are good......
5. sour gummies.... 3x daily ... again taste like shit!
ok so i have made my point ; yes??? some of these vitamins are awful!!! i only tried all of them to see if i could find an easier way to get W to take them. JT and K have no problem taking a vitamin every day. W will even say "im too full for a vitamin" because i give them after lunch or breakfast. i have found stashed away vitamins in my bathroom behind the toothbrush holder.....in the bottom of the sink drain (she didnt realise it has to dissolve to go away lolol) she has even asked for a cup of juice to "eat" it with even tho i have found the vitamin in the bottom of the undrunk juice cup lol. im on to all her little tricks now though, she has to eat it in front of me, and if i look in her mouth and see vitamin in the grooves of her teeth, lol... i dont make her eat another. so shes been pretty good about eating it the first time 'round lately lolol. any body else have troubles with kids and vitamins??? man when i was a kid i loved my vitamins! and if we had been blessed with bubblegum vitamins ....... wowweee! lol. actually those bubblegum vitamins arent half bad...the vitamins are in a thin layer on the inside of the hollow gumball, so by the time you get to tasting vitamin, its been pretty well masked by the flavor of the gumball. i really liked those vitamins, but 2 a day ....30 in a box $9.99-$12.99 and 3 kids ........... got expensive real quick, plus sometimes i took them instead of my vitamins, cuz they tasted better and i got a piece of gum !!! i want gumball vitamins for adults, id never forget to take my vitamins if i got gum! im a gum chewer. if you have only 1 or 2 kids and they love gum, then lemme tell ya what the gumball vitamin was an ingenious idea...... i mean what kid doesnt love to chew gum??? speaking of gum, trident has this fabulous new flavor out...
Watermelon Twist........... ohhhhhh its so good. i love trident... its the best gum for kids.if you are a gum chewer, you must try this gum. i wish they had scratch and sniff screens so you could smell it ... lmao!!!
well i have to give a friend of mine a ride in the morning, and 5 am comes quick. so goodnight fellow bloggypals, sleep with the angels....

saturday photo hunt~~~~looking up!

2006-09-16T09:57:00.000-07:00

2006-09-15T10:25:00.000-07:00

you ever feel like you are being stalked on your own blog? why do people feel the need to comment on your blog and not tell you who they are? im irritated by a person whom started a blog apperantly a few days ago....... only to comment on my own blog!!! what the hell is that? you can look up the blog, but it claims not to exist!!!
SOMEBUDDYUKNOW you are well aware i am speaking of you. i have no need to hide it. what is your need to hide behind a name? and why comment yes i know you on my blog but not state who you are? i look up your blog, it isnt there, which tells me you only created an account to screw with me! if you arent going to tell me who you are......... then please leve me alone, i dont need a stalker on my freakin blog!!! i feel like i cant put my thoughts about my kids down anymore, because i dont know if you are a freak!!!!!!!!! strange things can come of the internet, and i only keep my blog for me and my kids....... not for your pleasure of taunting me!
that is all.......
catch ya later fellow bloggypals, dont think i should blog for a bit.......... some crazy person is stalking me on my blog! sorry.........

what to post???

2006-09-10T21:13:00.000-07:00

first things first Susan, i want to thank you again, you are a lifesaver. you have always been there in times of need and its been a long time, yet you are still there for me. i love you , and i am so glad to have a big sister like you. i am proud of you.... your son is wonderful, and you have become a bright and beautiful woman. xoxoxoxo
wow, well the first week of school has been so incredibly hectic!!! first of all, they have closed the road for major repairs untill mid october that is the direct route the school bus takes.........thereby making a normal 15 minute route into a 45 minute or longer route.........sigh!
sooooo, being i dont want my kids on the bus after school for an hour..... i am forced to go pick them up. the first couple of days by the time lil W got off the bus she was in tears, K told me it was because she thought they were never gonna make it home. poor thing, so i decided to pick them up in the afternoons for now. sheesh, good thing i know all the different backroads, because the detour is horrendous!!! the other problem is that with all the problems with road closures.... the busses are running super late for the drop off of the am kindergarten class,thereby making the bus super late for the pm pickup so if i want W to be on time (she is pm k.) then i have to go run her to school as well.... lol. go figure, they knew this was a school bus direct route to school, and closed the road the day before school started !!!!!!!!!!!!!! some cities got it all messed up lol.
the week before school K fell off his bike and wasnt wearing his helmet........ i think we all know what im about to say next! shame on me, i didnt insist he wear it, although i always insist on J wearing his. but he is way more aggressive a rider than K. anyways, so he comes running in crying, bleeding ..... i geek and run him to the hospital er. as it turned out it wasnt as bad as i originally thought, he only needed 2 staples in his noggin, but alas, two staples too many in my book!!! they fixed him up, and sent him on his way with a brand new helmet........ this one fits way better, so i was thankful. he didnt like to wear the one he had because it was getting tight, but im about to lock up the bikes for fall and winter..... i know bad excuse to not go buy a new one, again, shame on me! however ....... the kids wont go on a bike , scooter, or skateboard now without their helmets.... (trying to see the bright side here) and K has already gotten his staples out.
omg, i havent even blogged about my new car......... i just realised. S bought me a new car!!! i got a 99 saturn, leather interior, sunroof, everything electric,tinted windows, nice stereo... and its that metallic purple color. we all know my favorite color is purple. woohoo!!! the kids love it, lol J has asked me if i still have it when he is 16 if i will buy me a new car and give him this one. lol ... i remember my mom having a very plush baretta when i was about 15... and longing for her to give it to me when i was licensed to drive. i still have my minivan, i think im gonna fix it and keep it for a backup vehicle. a friend of mine has an engine from the same make and model given free to her as the tranny gave on the vehicle, so we can use that engies parts to fix mine, yay me! not as expensive that way ..... cant beat free!!! but even if i do fix it.... i so wont drive it anymore, i love my new car. its the nicest car i have ever owned! im very proud of it.
on to my garden.......... so my tomatoes were flourishing, then i had to transplant them, they became root bound in the pots i put them in..... they are sort of punishing me now!!! i have lots of tomatoes but they arent getting very big for me....sigh. on the bright side i have jalepenos ... 5 of them to be exact ...lol i know that isnt very many but i am in washington state, um ya we dont usually get much good sun..... so getting five of them to grow i am proud. besides i have never grown them before.... im gloating if i got one to grow lolol. potatoes are doing awesome!!! 'nuff said. i also planted a seed from my red pepper...... i bought a pepper opened it up and there was a sprouted seed in it. me being a spaz, i plant everything lol. soooo i planted that seed. i thought for sure it rotted and died, but omg, would you believe i put it in the ground over 6 weeks ago, and last week it finally sprouted!!! yay me. im glad it grew, but ya, um a little too late, wont get anything from it this year. but i did learn that i can plant the seeds from my store bought peppers and they will grow. woohoo. now i also tried to plant some peach seeds.......omg what a joke!!! i first thought if i broke the seed out of the outer shell it might fare better.... it rotted. then i tried to plant the whole thing, hard outer shell in tact.... it didnt do anything... so tried to pop the seed out, and dry it first, it withered away to a small thing, looked like a dried up leaf lol but i still planted it....nothing! sigh... although i wonder if i cant start it by the same means you do an avacado, poking the seed with toothpicks and submerging it halfway in water??? i will be trying that next. i have some lemon seeds i wanted to plant, but its too late in the season now. i over watered my other lemon plant and it died. its been an excellent year for veggies though, as i have seen next to nothing for pests this year. i think its due in part to the amount of dragonflies and ladybugs we have had this year. i have seen not one aphid in my garden all summer long, thats a first!!! last year my tomatoes were overrun with the damn things.
my flowers have totally suffered thru this summer. many of them couldnt take the heat, and died, others failed to grow properly.... i read somewhere this summer that your seeds can become useless if ever frozen.....i know for a fact my seeds froze last winter because i left them outside with my gardening things. my bad....... they were quite stunted in their growth, they have only gotten to half the size, and havent flowered yet. i think its a lost cause to continue to care for them, but i still do lol. my fushia froze last year too........ i forgot to wrap its roots after i trimmed it off at the end of its season..... so it too has just begun to flower, and i believe it should have been flowering 2 months ago. bummer. i also read in the farmers almanac that if you plant your garden under a full moon... naked...that it will produce the best fruits and veggies .. the biggest.. juiciest .. fruits and veggies.... someday when my kids are grown and have moved out, and i have a big fence (lolol) i will try this method of planting my seeds. this summer i have learned a few more crucial facts about gardening if nothing else.
oh and i also planted these really cool flowers that are supposed to attract hummingbirds....... omg, im heartbroken, they were in way to big of a pot and it seemed they were not thriving, so i transplanted them to a pot that fit them better in hopes they would be happier .... they stopped growing alltogether. so in hindsight i have really learned alot of lessons with my garden this year. next year i will be better prepared. lol
as i am typing this i am watching the count of monte cristo.......... what an awesome movie!!! it sounded lame and i had no intention of watching it, but S was watching it and i kinda got stuck....and it is really good. i am having troubles typing and watching... lol i have saved as draft 4 times now lololol. i want to read this book now. the book is always better than the movie.
i wonder how long you can make a post anyways. is there a limit to how many characters you can type or what? because this post is out of control.... lol
ok i think i have rambled enough for now..........
have a good night bloggypals.............

How to install your own home security system!

2006-08-26T10:45:00.000-07:00

I got this from a dear friend of mines blog, I agree ran, this is totally hilarious! had to share with ya'all..........

HOW TO INSTALL AN INEXPENSIVE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM:
1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns and Ammo and your NRA magazines.
3. Put a giant dog dish next to the boots and magazines.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

Hey Bubba - Big Mike, Slim, Tiny and me went for more ammunition.
Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls. They attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up pretty bad.

I don't think Killer took part in it but I locked all four of them in the house.

Better wait outside,

Billy Bob

This book was slow at first, but oh my gosh, it picks up quick. Most of you have probably already read it, but I am not a Danielle Steel fan, so I have never read any of her books. I finally read everything I had, and a friend of mine told me to read this one here. I protested, but took it home anyway to please her. LOLOLOL I finally got desperate for some new reading, so , um, ya I read it in like 3 days, just nighttime reading. last night I was about halfway thru it, and it got so intense I couldn't put it down.....so 4 hours later... I was finished with it! This book pulls at the heart strings, I cried so many times while reading the last half, such a sad tale. Most excellent book, I reccommend reading it if you have not. I wonder if any of her other books are just as good??? well, happy friday.............bloggypals.

update.....

2006-07-16T15:57:00.000-07:00

before i go on this rant ... there are several posts before this one with recent pics of the kids at the zoo... check em out..

well, lets see, its been quite a while sine i have made time for my blog.... shame on me! hmmm, i almost went to jail, on account of this teeny bopper (maybe 16 or 17) .... oh what a story!
oh, before i start i should let you know that J is down for the summer....
i am generally a nice girl, but on this particular day i became the she devil! all 3 kids are playing just around the corner at the basketball hoop. (a reminder i have a 5 yr old, 8 yr old, and a 12 yr old) i can hear them making fart noises and other funky noises as kids always do... no worries. i had a gallon jug of water preparing to water my plants, and this teenage girl swingin a giant stick around in circles comes round the corner turns directly at MY kids and states very clearly "if you dont shut the fuck up im gonna come kick your ass!!" oh mama bear is loose now.............I SAW RED INSTANTLY!!! so... being the nice girl i am (enraged of course) i calmly asked "what did you just say to my kids?" she replies with "i didnt know they were your kids" so i said... "UH .... DOESNT MATTER WHOSE KIDS THEY WERE, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THREATENING A 5 YR OLD A 8 YR OLD AND A 12 YR OLD FOR?"" seeing redder..... wrong answer bitch! so i said " they didnt even speak a word to you, what ya gonna do to them and why??? oh...OH I KNOW... they are half your age , feels good eh? well then, how about if I COME KICK YOUR ASS THEN??? at this point the strangest thing is happening to me, i swear to god i have never felt such rage..every muscle in my face twitched uncontrollably, i know i musta looked stupid lol, but i couldnt help it... every muscle in my body tense.... so there i stood nose twitching , eyes twitching, lip quivering... twitching eveywhere ,fists balled up ready to pounce! i was ready to go to jail, didnt care one way or the other, this bitch threatened my kids... and for no reason to top it off! i was gonna cave her face in and teach her to read brail! oh my god how immature...again, adrenalin and rage running the brain now...
so she tells me ...lmmfao...."ill call teh cops if you come near me" i said "lets call honey id hate to accidently kill you before they get here....you have about 2 seconds to get the hell offa my block before i come over there!!!" she says "i will!!!" all attitude , lolol i take 3 steps foward and say "then get to steppin bitch!" over 30 minutes passes shes been at the neighbors place.....she comes out, and proceeds to leave the way she came, wheres mama bear? on her heels of course!!! thinkin, she better not say one word to my kids ... imma gonna kill her.... i was still very much seeing red, my blood was boiling.....she didnt take kindly to me following her all the way around the corner right past my kids.... but she still turned and said she was sorry... i told her to stuff her sorries in a sack! what the hell ???? why do you think you are cool threatening little kids when you think no ones looking???just because you cant physically SEE the parent doesnt mean it isnt close... lmao! and now i am very aware of what i would do if some one threatened or hurt my kids..... theres a lesson or two here...
1. NEVER SCREW WITH MAMA BEARS CUBS IN ANY FASHION!!!
2. UH, try to keep your cool mama bear, you didnt do so well this time....
3. i love my kids very much, they are my everything, id be lost without them!
hmmm, what else interesting has been going on??? oh we went to a picnic at flowing lake, out in snohomish. oh my its lovely there.... water is soooo warm. we also ventured the zoo .... oh my god 7 hours of walking around and we still missed some of the exhibits.... place is GINORMOUS!! i have some great pics ...... i tried to post some yesterday, but lets not go there. lolol

Trials and Tribulations of crackheads!!!

2006-05-09T20:34:00.000-07:00

well well, where do i start???
HMPH!!!! well, first id like to say if you are one of those people whom hits anothers car and then bolts.....FUCK YOU ... YOU SUCK!!!!!! ok so i get woke up at 3:30 in the morning by the loud unmistakeable sound of metal crunching metal!!! this asshole from the crackhouse down the street has backed into my van at like 45 miles per hour, and is officially stuck to my vans bumper, burnin rubber trying to break free before someone can get outside! i was so pissed, he managed to break free and peel outta here befor i could catch him! ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr! hate people who hit and run. needless to say i called the cops, round 4 am they show up!!! WTF? our hard earned tax dollars at work folks!!! omfg!!! 30 minutes later? WHATEVER! all they did was take report of make of the other car etc, and talk to all 5 neighbors who were outside and witnessed it. ok, so my week starts off like this right? not a great start to a week!!!
gees a little history is needed for the next tidbit..... or else you will never understand! lol...
first i'd have to explain that there is a burned down house down the road a piece, and there have been crackheads and prostitutes living in there trailers on the property for quite some time now.... doing drug deals and prostituting right there on the side of the road in front of everyone!!! and they continue to steal things from surrounding properties, such as items to pawn, running water... etc. further more, they bring traffic thru the neighborhood at all hours of the night... go figure! i have written down numerous plates, called police numerous times, as has the rest of the neighborhood..... do you think they have been dealt with? NO! so about 2 months ago, we all banded together and drew up complaints with pictures of the property...(omfg you have never seen more trash, junked cars, burnt up house, burnt up cars... the list goes on, broken down trailers, ...with crackheads living in them.... omg) and pictures of drug activity.. people buying etc. pictures of the nast ass hookers gettin in the jons cars.... pictures of them stupidly doing business in car right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg! we also gathered evidence of them stealing from nearby properties, and we hand delivered this huge stack to the washington state code violation dept. that didnt do much good either.... so we started calling congressmen...... and guess what happened all in the span of the last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. they were told to be removed from the premises in 24hrs.....
they didnt go, soooooooo our local finest (cops) came and removed them FOR them, lol so to speak... they got a tow truck out here and literally towed them off the property into the street..... then to make sure they couldnt tow them back in, they (lolol) got a cat out and piled huge piles of dirt and debris alllll the way around it, so they couldnt pull the trailers back in.
2. then they were told to remove trailers from the street in 24 hours......shaaaa right!
sooooo the cops came out and said they had to be gone etc.... the crackheads said they had someone on the way to tow, so cops left......omg they set a propane tank up to a propane lamp inside trailer... and rigged so propane couldnt be shut off! omfg.... so many houses and children in the area......then they threw blankets over it , and left, of course it caught fire........
one of the neighbors caught it smokin, ran in as it caught fire, and cut the propane tank loose from the lamp..and fucking ran with it..... for dear life............. scary huh? it only gets worse!
so the fire dept comes back.... cops come back.... they put out fire, and proceed to tow away 2 of the 3 trailers. impounded on the spot.... we all wonder why not the third one???
sooo about 2 hours later..... lol
we all see the third trailer is completely engulfed in flames.... uh, propane tanks attached. omfg!!!!!
several neighbors called 911, they got here fairly quickly, busted out a huge ass saw and cut the tounge and tanks loose and pulled them away, as they were blistering....... omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! meanwhile the entire trailer has gone up now, huge clouds of nasty smoke, fire 10 ft tall off the top....... what a show!!! they tear it apart while soaking it, making sure there is no more fire.... its literally in pieces..... and they fucking leave it there!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf???
sooooo today....... i hear that the tow company whom works for the police dept, was supposed to have come back for the third trailer..... and never did, so they are partially liable for the fire! cops figured they would be back, and wanted all of them towed away..... go figure! towing co didnt do the job right, we all suffer! cops didnt make sure it was done right either... cant just blame tow company!
either way, it was witnessed... so they are pretty screwed, cops said they were going to charge them with a felony...... for both the fires! plus the moved a burned up car out in the middle of the road to try to keep fire dept from being able to get to the fire.... omg what do these people think???? damned retards i tell ya! kids this is what drugs do to your brain!!!!!!! btw... did i forget to mention, this was the crackheadsa own fucking trailer??? uh hello, you dont need your house or belongings anymore??? wtf is that? lolol they set they're own home on fire... ok, tell me what was the purpose???? hmm???
well..... this afternoon, i hear a bunch of ruckus down the street, so i went to have a looksee.....
hmph! i'll be damned if the fire marshall himself wasnt out there screamin and hollerin "why the hell wasnt this pile of shit taken last night like i said? what the hell is it still doing here?" lololol, evidently, the cops were caught again not makin sure a job was done...they were supposed to get a dump truck out there pronto, and remove all the trailer and its burnt up self , because it was hazardous, especially "with all these fucking kids that live around here" oh man, he was pissed. sooooo.... about that trailer, its all been loaded up and removed now. lol. i took some pics, but they are really dark, the cops wouldnt let me get any closer..... its just pics of whats left... but it will give you an idea... these people are the ones who hit my car......... oh i hate these people...
that is all.
i am done now

Book time again....

2006-05-06T21:22:00.001-07:00

Ok ya'all have done this with me before... but for those of you whom are new.... book time is really cool.
I take a paragraph from the page I am on of the current book I am reading and type it out.... then you do the same in my comments... this is a great way to learn a tidbit from a book you may have never read before, and might find interesting....
ok, I am currently reading
Finding Laura... by Kay Hooper
page 254 :
It was his turn to hesitate, a moment longer than she had, and when he spoke, it was with deliberation. "Would it make any difference to you if that truth is that there are things I don't want you to know at present? When the tensions of today are past, when Peter's killer is found and my.......current battle with Amelia is concluded, there'll be no more questions between us, no lies or evasions. Nothing left unanswered. I promise you that."
Laura found that response as tantalizing as anything yet said between them, and couldn't help thinking it might have been better for her to have gone on wondering if he was being truthful rather than to be bluntly told there were things he didn't want her to know. Because that knowledge was virtually guaranteed to madden her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
now i am reading this book for the secong time, i read it once last year, it was very good.... i strongly recommend it.
please leave your current book in my comments, with a paragraph or two from your current page... i have read books from this game before, and enjoyed them. ty for participating ;)

omfg!!! too wierd, i did this thing, and it actually picked my age... toooo wierd. try it, sposed to tell you how young at heart you are, lolol i guess i really am 29.

You Are 29 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Just remember............

2006-04-22T00:26:00.000-07:00

in my humble opinion, this song really hits me in the gut right now..... makes me think about a special person in my life... and he needs to know i love him with every ounce of my being. so lover... heres the song that really tells it like it is....

Firefall» Just Remember I Love You
When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
The days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feeling you were born to lose
Starin' at your ceiling, thinkin' of your blues
When there's so much trouble that you wanna cry
The world has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting---friends have let you down
CHORUS:
Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say
Maybe then your blues will fade away
When you need a lover and you're down so low
You start to wonder but you never know
When it feels like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again
When the blues come callin' at the break of dawn
Rain keeps fallin' but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like cryin' but the tears won't come
When your dreams are dyin'---when you're on the run
CHORUS

kisses, hugs, smoochies, i'm thinkin of you....
love
your poohbear

my dog is a spazzz.... omg he is outside chasing a cat, headed strait for a truck, (parked truck) and i thought for sure hed stop chasing that cat when he got closer to this truck, or at least turn... but nope he ran strait foward face first right into the trucks front tire.... was so funny, i havent laughed at my dog like that in a while, like i said hes a spaz!!! hahaha brutus, you are a dweebus delectie!!! seriously tho, hes a good family dog, entertaining for sure!

appreciation breakfast

2006-04-19T20:13:00.000-07:00

well the breakfast at w school was great !!! we had this wonderful quieesh, with peppers and mushrooms and bacon and cheese, omg was sooooo yummy. gonna get recipe from teacher who cooked it! there was also tons of fresh fruits and juices bagels, cream cheese, cornbread muffins, and vanilla yogurt with this awesome granola on the side! lots of fun, we got presented with these certificates of appreciation , very professional looking too! and the teachers also gave us our special gifts from our kids. i really feel bad for any parents who didnt help out during the school year, because the gifts were so great. they had the kids paint a medium size clay pot with a variety of colors and shaped sponges etc. then they planted little baby ivy plants in them, and added some tissue paper flowers. really special, since you cant kill ivy (lmao) every time you look at that plant even after having to repot it, you will think of the hard work your child put into making it for you. w was so proud if hers, and it really does look great! so all in all, the parent appreciation breakfast was very nice indeed. and i cant wait to find something to put my ivy next to , so it can take it over.... like a chair or something. looks neat to have an ivy chair sitting on your porch, you just have to be sure to control your ivy , trim it....lol or else it invades everything. good hearty plant! well take it easy....................im trying to..............

my lil winter pie..... is the sweetest one.....

2006-04-18T19:54:00.000-07:00

so i am running all kinds of errands with w today, and we stop at the gas station to gas up! perfectly normal right?
the guy behind the counter is a arab, so winter is staring bigtime. we get back out to the car and she says ( ever so innocently) " um mommy why is there a genie working there?" i said "what?" so she repeats.. and then it hit me why she asked... i laughed and told her he wasnt a genie he was a different culture. she says " then why is there a towel on his head if he isnt a genie?" omg, how adorable, so i explained he was from another country and that is why he wears a "towel" on his head. she replies with a big "ohhhhhhhhhhh" lolol, so thats my cuteness story of the day.

tomorrow at w school they are having an appreciation breakfast for all of us parents whom have volunteered this year. i guess they had the kids of those parents make a special gift for the parents... w told me she made something special for me, but that "its a secret and so i cant tell me what it is, but mommy you are going to love it!!!" i saw some flower pots in the back room, i think the kids are making flower pots and then planting a flower in them, they were all painted obviously by pre-k children... yet there werent enough of them to have been from a whole class , let alone 4 classes! so we shall see. on friday we have this special toy making thing with home depot at w school... sound fun.

lets see, k is just blazing thru the second grade! doing very well, he has an upcoming field trip to go watch a junie b jones play live. wish i could go, but only a certain number of seats, so only so many parent volunteers can go, first to turn in slip is first to get to go. bummer, i sent in on second day.

jt is getting older every day. his smart mouth is gonna get him into trouble tho.... i can see it already. he has way too much freedom at his dads place for an 12 year old. he just broke up with his last gf about 2 weeks ago. wtf? girlfriend? omg um ya hes turning 12 next month, i think not!!! a little young to be infatuated with girls. but... in his defense i guess they only hold hands and carry books etc. however his father called 3 different times over spring break to let jt that a lil mckenna had been calling and "blowing up the phone" .... omg, the look on jt face when he heard mckenna had been calling him, he was so excited . must be the new girl he likes lolol.
im not ready to deal with the gf thing yet!!!
ok so now im done for a bit, got to get kids to bed............. its almost summer.... cant wait!

HAPPY BLOGGY BIRTHDAY TO... ME :)

2006-02-14T13:03:00.000-08:00

well folks, bloggy friends, pals of mine...... TODAY IS THE DAY.... today is the day i started blogging one year ago. Too wierd. So I haven't blogged in a while. things have been pretty hectic around here. and as most of you who have known me for a while know.... family comes before bloggy. (grin) wow! all these reality shows are unbelievable. survivor has been interesting, but i seem to be looking foward to watching american idol this season more so than survivor. and i am a survivor nutbag! what gives?? amazing race is starting soon, and it looks sooo lame, dunno if i will tune in for it this season or not. the bachelor SUCKS this season, i have seen all of 10 minutes of it. watched a tidbit last night, still sucks ...lol. dancing with the stars hasnt tickled my fancy this season either... but skating with them is very fun. lol... if you havent seen it, check it out, these kids are crazy! however they learn fast... and are actually amazingly talented for being soap stars and such. i watched david letterman last night. omg regis is soooo full of himself, he was a guest last night. david suggested he enter next season of dancing with the stars.... regis was kinda like whatever.... but i think its a good idea, i would tune in. regis is so fake .... cant stand him! ANYWAY......
kids are doing great for those of you whom follow us....
J just went to his first dance with a girl.... (how i dreaded this moment) he is a 6th grader now, so he is all grown up now dont ya know! hmph! anyways, he took this lil gal to the 6th grade dance for valentines day this weekend......... evidently it was a disaster. lol...... he was too shy to ask her to dance and all his friends were telling him he needed to ask her to dance as she was feeling left out. well he never did dance with her so ... lmao (kids i tell ya) she broke up with him before the end of the dance. sooooo.... in order to make up for it, he intends to give her a card, box of candy and a rose after school today to make up for it, and say happy valentines. how sweet is that. his excuse for the dance disaster was he didnt know how to dance and didnt want to look like a dork.......lol, i thought all 6th graders were little dweebus delecties .... arent they still young enough to um, oh i dunno, NOT KNOW HOW TO DANCE? lol my kid is great!
k and w have been very busy with school plays and stuff like that. so all around we have been too busy to even get on the puter, much less type away for a while, lol. anyway, as per usual, i have many mommy chores to finish up... and a valentine party at k school, sooooo
happy bloggy birthday to me, happy valentines day to you.... hope you have a great day bloggypals.

2006-02-14T12:57:00.000-08:00

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !

busy busy busy

2006-01-25T10:39:00.000-08:00

i thought that after the holidays things were supposed to slow down for a bit, giving us mommies a little break. RIGHT! now we have all the winter programs at school, and midwinter break is coming up real fast. where has the school year gone?
been thinking about my garden lately.... i need to build myself a medium sized planter box thats fairly deep... i want to contain my veggies this year, and manage how big they get. last year my tomatoes overtook my whole garden killing off my peas and cukes !! pissed me off. BUT i think this year i am going to try my green thumb on some cherry tomatoes instead of giant beefsteak ones. last year my girlfriend planted cherry... they were fruitful for months, and absolutely delicious! she cheated tho, she bought little baby plants, i9 plan to plant everything from seed again this year. its almost time.... i am getting anxious. i wish i had more space, i would start all my seedlings in the house now! lol.
i also want to try to grow peppers this year, i want a jalepeno tree... and also to grow red green and yellow peppers. i dont know anything about peppers, so i have some reading to do. heck maybe if i plant peppers too.... the squirrels and birds will accidentally eat the wrong thing ... have a mouth of fire and not come back! last year i hardly got any strawberries and peas. they loved them. and do any of you have any ideas how to keep birds from stealing your fresh planterd seedlings? i need to prepare for that this year! i replanted seedlings 3 x last year! especially of lettuce, they really dig the young lettuce. i found out that beer is most appealing to slugs, so i no longer use any slug bate, i just put out a few saucers of beer... they crawl in get drunk and die!! lol nice way to go i suppose.... better than salting them. omg speaking of slugs.... hubby found this crazy game, kids love it and its kind of fun....
http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=14929
its called slug slayer.... object is to kill slugs with salt... go figure. lol, but it really is fun, so far i have not gotten more than 18 slugs. give it a whirl, let me know how ya'all do. theres actually a ton of really fun games on this site, surf around maybe you will find something you really like.

RECENT PIC OF KIDS

2006-01-17T11:49:00.000-08:00

here is a recent picture of the kids with their gramps...... and since J looks like such a goober, i thought i would post this pic of him too......he loves when he gets money for x mas.... and the one of K is adorable, chillin with grampa, and if you look closely lol, it looks like his king kong figurine is jammed up his nose, but honestly, he was just holding it in front of his face to show it off.... camera angles do funny things.

toodles for now............

This is fun...

2006-01-15T17:56:00.000-08:00

I have recently found a new website for my kids to play online games without other players. and I found the coolest game. actually its really rather lame, but oddly enough it is addicting. so go give it the old highschool try... I promise its fun. so far my lil ones have made me look horrible, K got a whoppin 40, W can get all the way to 15, and me.... well I got no further than 27. the object is to get your worm around to eat food and grow larger, however you are not allowed to run into a wall or yourself. challenging? YES IT IS! lol feel free to leave in my comments how far you have made it.....

A pic of Z

2006-01-12T11:50:00.000-08:00

I went to my daughter's school website to see some of the new pics that have been uploaded recently. unfortunately there werent any of my lil princess. BUT there was a great pic of Z, remember the little guy I spoke of in an earlier post......well in any case this pic shows what a great personality he has. and his eyebrows are just great... look at them. they have that high arch like Jack Black's. anyway, I thought I would share . He's pretty good friends with my lil Winter-pie.

ramble , ramble........

2006-01-06T09:38:00.000-08:00

well, i ventured out and about with hubbys car, and again it broke down. this is payback for not having any vehicle problems in the last 6 years. because my dad has towed both of my cars a total of 3 times in the last month. its really rather funny actually. normally i would freak out if i broke down and cry out of fear... i didnt have my license. (i know shame on me) but i finally got my license.... so i dont care if a cop stops to ask if i am ok or need help.... and do you know what? not one cop stops! whats that about? if i were still unlicensed you can bet that one would inevitably have been in the area.... but since i have broken down and i am legal... theres not a cop within a square mile. go figure! lol
i think that while winter and keegan are in school today i will take down my christmas tree!!! yes i said christmas tree. my tree is just so pretty, and it was still alive... i couldnt see taking it down.but as of yesterday i noticed it seems to be getting a bit on the dry side now, starting to die, time to take it down. i hate putting my christmas stuff away. my mom gave me some of the coolest decorations this year as she got new ones. she gave me this really neat fiber-optic house and gazeebo with x mas carrolers and everything. its very pretty. she also gave me these 3 little bears, each of them holds 2 bells... one of them has a sending unit that tells the other two when to play the bells right?!!! ok so you can place these bears up to 10 feet apart and they will still all play the bells. each one makes a different part of the song but alltogether ya know what i mean? they play like 15 different x mas tunes. they are actually very cool...... untill one bears' batteries die, and you dont know it untill you go to push the button on one of them and only one more chimes in, so the dang song is all messed up. oh and the bells they are holding light up while they fling them, very neat. ummm, cant i just leave them up all year??? lol. its always so sad to take it all down.
well if i am to get this stuff packed away, then i better get to it..........

bloggin away

2006-01-05T11:44:00.000-08:00

oh my gosh, have any of you seen the commercial for the smc make your own money from home? the guy is like "just send me 25 bucks and i will send you the free information....blah blah..." wait if i send him 25 bucks then is the information really free? i think not! anyways, hubby wanted to change the channel, but i was still waiting 10 minutes later for this guy to tell me what smc stood for... so i wouldnt let him change the channel... needless to say i waited forever to see what his deal was, 125 acres of warehouse space blah blah, stuffed with products you can make a 300 % profit on blah blah, and the dude still didnt tell me what the name smc stood for. so i blurted out "well what the hell does smc stand for anyways, cant get people to send ya 25 bucks when you dont even tell them what your company name is" so hubby says.... lmao he says "smc stands for send me more cash ......." i laughed so hard. hmmm, maybe you had to be there to laugh, but seriously it was funny.
so ya know yesterday was winter's first day back to school.... keegan started back on tuesday. so we walk in to the classroom, and everyone is so excited to see her. she sure has alot of friends. but there is this one kid in her class that has kind of a broken home. as far as i can tell he lives with his gramma and his mom is in jail and drug treatment. i cant be for totally sure cuz i can only sort of overhear conversations. i have never asked cuz i feel like it would be rather rude so the info i know is always overheard. in any case this lil guy is so needy for attention. he wasnt there when i dropped off winter. but in the afternoon when i picked her up it was recess time. so i pulled up by the playground , parked the car and wandered towards the area where they were playing. out of no where (we'll call him z) z comes running from across the playground, yelling as loud as his little lungs will let him "winter your mommy is here, hi caralyn hi , i missed you when it was x mas time, how are you hi" and he ran right into my arms. hes so danged cute, i asked how his x mas was, he said it was great his mommy even sent him a letter. i almost cried. so sad when mommys make babies and then sluff them off for petty things. then he asked how our x mas was. i told him it was great. just then winter came up hugging me saying what a great day she had. then z told us both that i could ...and i quote "you and winter could steal me, you could take me home with you" i was flattered and so hurt for him at the same time. he needs his mommy. and he said it so sincerely with a giant smile. it broke my heart. and whats worse, the teacher heard it, lord i hope she doesnt tell his gramma about it. how heartbreaking that would be for her.
anyways... gonna go run some dishes so maybe i will be back later........
by the way we are trying to figure out .gif files.... this should prove to be time consuming.....

one of my bloggypals posted this....

2006-01-02T12:47:00.000-08:00

I got this from PRESENT STORM'S blog... you will find a link to her blog in the right hand column.... koodos to her for posting it, was truly amusing. if you have time to check out her blog, she's a pretty neat gal...

To All My Online E-mail Friends:
As the New Year starts, my heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on envelopes 'cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
Because of your concern I n o longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from nor send packages by UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat KFC because their "chickens " are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time)
I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!
I f you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM (CDT) this afternoon. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next-door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.
Happy New Year !!!!

I got that e-mail today and got a laugh out of it ..I am sure most of you have seen all of these e-mails at one time or another...WHY do people continue to forward these things?lmao It still cracks me up.Have a great 2006 ya'll !!!!

shopping with rude people sucks!!!

2006-01-02T11:47:00.000-08:00

hiya bloggypals. just a note to tell ya'all about my day yesterday. my friend and i took the kids out yesterday. we ventured out to the local asshole store otherwise known as walmart! i only say this because people try to run you over in the parking lot, the employers are VERY rude (i think thats a result of the assholes that shop there) and 90 percent of the customers are assholes too. ok lemme explain..........
it took us over an hour to obtain kitty food ,toilet paper , razors and a few other little items. heres why.........first of all trying to get into the store was a joke. the line for returns and stuff was so dang long it went out into the store and wrapped around in a circle! and all those people were BITCHING incessively about the line, well um hello, if ya DONT like it, DONT stand there, but please dont make us all listen to you have a cow! lol. so long about halfway thru the store winter needs to pee ( every time eh? lol kids....) so we are boonying to the bathroom across the store... and people are so rude to little people. one jerk even pushed past my little 5 yr old and said " get the hell out of the way" i was like EXCUSE ME SIR, BUT WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING OF THE STORE? he says "hey fuck you lady get your kid out of my way" i calmy told him i hoped the fleas of a thousand camels infested his armpits and we walked away. ok, now winter is a five yr old little girl, do you really think she specifically tried to be in his way? i dont hardly think so! what a jack ass! plus is it her fault she cant see any higher than a persons crotch yet??? oh yes she has mastered the art of looking ahead of her to make sure there is not one crotch in her way. give me a break! heres what i want to know, where did the human kindness and decency of this world go to anyways? for god sakes little kids are being abused in the store now just for being small. its bullshit! so all ya'all out there who think you rule the world..........your wrong cuz I DO lol, just kidding, but seriously all people need to remember to be nice to little kids when they are out shopping and happen to get in your way, they arent trying to. so we were walking back towards the section of the store where keegan and my friend erika were waiting for us, in the pillow section. funny thing is there are a million pillows in the aisle and the only one winter spots is the neck pillow that is shaped like a horseshoe, and of course it has pictures on it so you can see how to wear it. so winter loudly asks "mommy why is that lady wearing a toilet seat on her neck??" i almost peed my pants right there i laughed so hard. others' around her were laughing, ohhhhh but not the asshole ... he just stood there glaring. god forbid he should laugh at something funny. i bet hes an asshole ALLLLLLL the time. did he follow us just to be an ass? who knows.
so we left walmart, not before standing in ungodly lines to check out tho. now we are on our way to Red Robin. mmmmmmmm yummy. the kids are excited because we don't very often enjoy the finer things in life like eating out. erika thought since it was her b day last week, she would ask if they would sing her the happy birthday song. she explained that her b day was right near x mas and we couldnt come out on x mas... so please could they honor her birthday just a little late? and do you know what.... they said yes! so after her meal 6 people come over to the table clapping loudly... she was like whats going on? then they stopped at her table... still clapping loudly and now singing a happy birthday ditty.....it was adorable, she got totally shy and hid under my armpit. then they presented her with a fudge sundae..... woohooo. it was so cool to see the look on her face. so she starts eating her sundae...of course the whipped cream was on top.... she is grubbing the cream when all of a sudden she hit ice cream, and blutred out "oh mommy, theres ice cream too" i said did you think it was all fudge and whipped cream? blushing she said yes. the funny things kids say and do never seem to fail to come at the most unusual moments. thats for damn sure! ok now i have rambled on for a while, i think i better get back to my dishes............... till later...

2006-01-01T12:38:00.000-08:00

A business man got on an elevator. When he entered, therewas a blonde already inside who greeted him with a bright,"T-G-I-F."He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T."She looked puzzled and repeated, "T-G-I-F," more slowly. Heagain answered,S-H-I-T."The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so she smiled herbiggest smile and said as sweetly as possibly, "T-G-I-F."The man smiled back to her andonce again, "S-H-I-T."The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain "'T-G-I-F' meansThankGoodness It's Friday. Get it, duuhhh?"The man answered, "'S-H-I-T' means 'Sorry, Honey, ItsThursday.'"

sheer frustration

2005-12-30T11:57:00.000-08:00

alright all you mommies out there..... any of you ever feel like running the car over a cliff would be better than being a mommy anymore? c'mon now, don't lie....
so today marks 2 flippin weeks off of school, and today it has finally taken it's toll!!! my kids are at eachothers throats, and the oldest.... is the worst of em all! i was the oldest growing up, so i know how much it sucks to have to set the example, and how usually you are the first to get into trouble no matter what the situation is... because "you knew better" but damn if im not getting gray hair today! w wont stop hitting, k wont stop whining, and j is just being an asshole. we (j and i) had a very long discussion just yesterday about attitude and such. seems he is pissed off at the world because he now lives with his father and visits us. but his father runs his house completely different than we run ours. in turn j doesnt get half the time spent with him that he would be getting here. he is hurt and angry ALL the time, and who better to take it out on than ??? you guessed it, mom! he claims dad never spends time with him, never plays with him etc. but what am i supposed to do? i told him i cant make your father treat you like we do, its not gonna happen. and that just makes him more angry. as for k and w ..... shit they cant wait for there big brother to leave cuz he is just so damned mean. i think hes mad at them because they get to live with mom. the last time i really had it out with j over his behavior, he drew his fist up at me, and it was all i had not to be my mother and beat the shit out of him, i just walked away. i thought i was doing the right thing sending him to live with his father.... the boy needs his father. all preteen boys do! but now i fear i have made a major mistake..... his behavior is just worse towards us, because he is angry for several reasons, but mostly i think its hurt....not being part of this family full time anymore. it kills me that the little ones dont want him here. when i tell them your brother will be here tomorrow. they are bursting with the "can't wait's" but after about 24 hours it turns into when is he going home mommy, hes mean. it just kills me. his father is under the impression everything is fine, which tells me he doesnt know j very well! i feel like an awful mother . first and foremost i want to give up entirely. does every mommy worth her salt have these days? is it just because i care too much? i feel helpless today! hm well i am going to go do my chores listen to some carpenters and hopefully feel a little better later......................
man to be 16 again!!! have a great day ya'all! i am certainly trying to.

idle curiosity....

2005-12-28T03:46:00.000-08:00

2005-12-28T03:24:00.000-08:00

you know, the more i look around the less i am impressed with most peoples blogs. you know, there needs to be a healthy balance between being a complete and utter loser bitch and being a happy go lucky "chin up" kinda person. what happened to making others laugh? i hardly laugh anymore, i just hit the next button , trying to find something worthwhile to read. please folks if you are going to take the time to put your mindless blabber on the web, make it interesting. of course theres no accounting for those of you who are completely UN interesting is there? hmmmm..... NEXT.......... haha
so is anyone thinking about the new year? resolutions anyone?

2........stop the obsessive nail biting.... i long to have long nails... lol
3..............stop being such a bitch.... lmao like thats possible......ha... good luck to me...
hmmm, well thats a start now isnt it? lol........ i will come up with a few more... then next year i will have to report on which ones i was able to do eh? lol
number 1 would be a fantastic one to accomplish.... dont you think??? me too! glad we agree! ok, working on the post about x mas, going to go get back to that draft.........
