paying your babysitter

This is just a short vent/rant. I know the person this is aimed at won't ever see this, she probably isn't even smart enough to figure out how to get on a computer in the first place much less find my blog, so here we go...

You can pay your rent

You can pay your electric

You can pay your cable

You can pay your phone

You can pay your truck payment

You can pay your insurance

You can buy yourself all kinds of new pretty stuff all the time

You can buy your kids all kinds of new pretty stuff all the time

You can buy your boyfriend new pretty stuff all the time

You can have money to go out and have a good time

HOWEVER.... I have to track you down and tell you repeatedly that you owe me money for babysitting, I have to tell you repeatedly how much, and your answer is "Oh, I have you money in the bank" My money in your bank doesn't buy my kids what they need, my money in your bank doesn't buy food, my money in your bank doesn't pay my bills, my money should be in my hand.

I am here every morning for your daughter to be dropped off to, and when she doesn't show up, you never bother to let me know she isn't coming, so I just sit here waiting. I am always here, realibly, always. All my other parents pay me as soon as they get paid, but YOU don't... What would happen if you didn't pay your electric? It would get shut off... rent? You wouldn't have a place to live. So... You say you are getting paid on the 26th? I gave you a bill a week ago, that one was for the previous two weeks (cause you said you get paid every two weeks), but you didn't pay me, now that school is out and you don't need me for the next two weeks I gave you a bill for this past week, now you say that you don't get paid till the 26th? Why didn't you pay me last week then??? WTF??? So... When you pay me on the 26th I am done... you can find a new sitter, I am done with the agrivation, I am done with trying to hunt you down, I am done with you having your older daughter drop your younger daughter off to me, I am done with you having your older daughter answer the door and saying that you arent home YOUR FUCKING TRUCK IS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT!!! I am done with you not paying me in a timely manner, and after I get my money you will then be told that you can find a new sitter, you will have an entire week to do it, and I really don't care after that... I am soooo done with this...

Blessed little friggin' Angels!!!

So... I wanted to get some good pics of the kids. It had been a while since we had gotten them all dressed up and prettified, so it was time... Kris and Kole had ties on, I did everybodys hair, not to much, just brush it nice, a bow for Kati, a little braid for Kole, brushed out Kody's, that kind of stuff, then the fun began! OMG! If I ever mention to somebody that I want a picture of the kids, it is now your job to tell me to just take them to a profeshional, cause I almost had to kill all of them, if it wasn't Kris making faces, it was Kati laughing like a Hyeana, or Kole desiding that it was more interesting to look at Kody than to pay attention to Mom, Kody just didn't want to smile at all, he was beeing pissy because he didn't get to wear a tie, well I am sorry but his shirt didn't have the right kind of collar for a tie so he didn't get to wear one this time, live with it buddy!!! I did finally get some good ones, I am sure if I took them to a trained person they would have done better and had better backgrounds, but I just wanted these for reference for when they were older, this is Christmas 2008. Here we go....



Kole LOVES this picture because he isn't the shortest one, that is why he is smiling so big, he told me when we were done taking the pic...






Kody and Kati... My "Twins"... Still the same size...




I think this one is my favorite...
Kris, Kole, Kati and Kody... I told them no smiles for this one, just be serious.

This one took for ever to get right, laughing, giggling, jumping up... it was fun, and annoying... lol...

Kole, age 5

Kati, age 8

Kody, age 10

Kris, age 14

Kole is a Drama King!!!

Kole's Boo Boo



<---------

Today I just felt like centering the letters... looks interesting.. hhmmm... Yes... It does... Thank you!... Anyhow...

Kole was downstairs with his brothers today, I was upstairs tring REAL hard to get rid of a headache when I hear a crash and then Kole crying, if you are a mom of many then you know the cry I am talking about, it is the "I am not really hurt, but damn it somebody is going to get in trouble for this" cry... that was the cry that I heard, and I heard it kind of muffled, so I knew that some how Kole had gotten his mouth hit and that he was going to tattle, and since the muffled crying was getting closer I knew that he was coming to me, good, I didn't even have to move my headache! lol... So I sat still and waited.. it only took him a moment to get upstairs and sure enough, there he appeared, crying for all he was worth (no tears) with his hand over his mouth, and he starts trying to talk the very second he gets in the door to tell me that SOMEBODY hurt him, and I tell him to hush, I can't hear him through his hand... So he walks over to me, and takes his hand away from his mouth and while still crying starts to talk, then he looks at his hand and notices that his hand was covered in blood (so was his mouth and half of the lower part of his face due to him rubbing it with his hand, but he couldn't see that) as soon as he sees the blood he immediately stops crying and says "I'm bleeding" just plain as day, matter of factly, as if this is no problem at all, it was like somebody flipped a switch!!! Screaming crying pissed off boy one moment... flip switch... now perfectly fine ... it was creepy as hell... So I go with it and say "Well go to the kitchen and lets clean this up... and don't touch the wall, I don't want your blood all over the house!" And we did, he didn't cry after that at all, we went to the kitchen, cleaned his face, I told him to clean his hands while i cleaned his face, then we got the boo boo to stop bleeding and he went on his merry way, until I found my camera of course, cause I HAD to have a picture of this! My pic didn't turn out to well, but I got one anyways.

So... Seriously... How Drama King does this kid have to be to be able to switch that crying crap on and off that fast?? Ya... See if i believe the "poor me, I'm hurt" cry ever again... Not anytime soon!!

Repost from Myspace for Uncle Nikki....

My friend

Does something

I find it

A little interesting

she does it often

and she isn't afraid to tell you she does it

she does it at home

she does it at the store

she does it in bed

she will do it at my house

she will do it at her Dad's house

she would even do it at Stacey's house if the chance were to present itself

I do not understand why she does what she does she just does it

and since she is my best friend, nobody should even be surprised at the fact that she does this thing at all

we have disscussed it a number of times

maybe she needs to go to a 12 step program and get the help she needs to stop

maybe we should just leave her alone, she really isn't hurting anyone

it is her life and she can do what she wants with it... right????

I mean really....

If she wants to smell her husbands armpitt because she REALLY likes the way his deoderant smells after he puts it on then that is HER bussiness... RIGHT???

Hi Daddy Heather... You KNOW I have to pick on you.... At least I sniff Stacey's neck/chest area.... NOT ARMPITTS!!!! ROTFLMFAO....

Just giving a heads up

On November 4th my favorite Author, Laurell K. Hamilton is releasing a new book. If I do not have a job by then (BTW lets all pray that I do have a job by then cause if I don't I may go crazy and start hurting people) I will be sitting in my apartment reading that the new book. Here is a little list of things to remember for that day...

DO NOT:

Call me

Come over

Send your kids over

Ask me to do you a favor for that day

Invite me to lunch

Invite me to dinner

Invite me to anywhere

Don't try to contact me unless you are dying and want to say goodbye, and in that case, make it quick, cause I need to get back to my book...

However... You can:

Make me lunch, slip in the house and leave it on the counter, but only as long as you are really quiet and don't disturb me.

Send me a text, I won't answer you back, but I will read the text after I am done with my book.

Take my kids after school and make sure their homework is done, cause if they walk into my house and I have not finished my book, I will ignore them, and while you are at it, you might want to feed them dinner, cause if I don't get that book done in time, they will be having peanutbutter sandwiches for dinner that night.

By all means, invite me to lunch for the day after and ask me how my book was, cause I will be finished with the entire thing by then and I will be very excited to talk about it!!

So, in concultion, I think that this is ampule warning, as in about 5-6 weeks, before my book is coming out, so nobody should have an excuse as to why they would EVER need to bother me on that day... I will update you as it gets closer to that day, just incase you forget...

Thank you for your time concerning this matter
