Shit happens.. Get over it...

So... I don't want to hear another word about somebody that can't got grocery shopping with their 4 year old and 2 year old... Or "Can you babysit my kids so I can fold laundry?" Once your youngest child hits the age of 6 months I don't think you have ANY excuse anymore to have anybody help you with anything... AT ALL!!! You have had adequate time to learn how to juggle this shit... so just do it!!! You are able bodied, WTF!!! I know that some of us are (i don't know how to say this nicely so I won't) way the hell better at taking care of kids than other people are, but that is no reason for you to dump your kids on us... YES, I, personally, enjoy the little kids, But I know that my mother doesn't want to watch those 2 little things because their mother says she cant: fold laundry, shop, wash rabbit pens, take out the trash, feed her father (how hard is it to hand a plate to somebody anyways????) vacuum the carpet, sweep the floor... Whatever! Really??? BUT... My mother can bake enough stuff to fill a damn house, clean, cook for her husband, and watch those kids... once again... WTF??? I am looking at the possibility of having permanent leg problems... is that going to stop me from taking care of those kids you all have me watching?? NO... So I know that if I can do it a crutch, you all should be able to do this WITHOUT!!! WHY CANT YOU!!!

Most of the people I know have really good kids and I adore them... I am just having a bad moment right now because I got bad news a few days ago and I am frustrated... so don't think any of this is pointed at any one of you in particular... because if you are actually reading this... its not you... lol... The people that need to read this, ya, they don't' even know about this blog :)

Can we PLEASE put on our big girl panties???

So.. it has been taken down.. the offensive blog... It was up on Myspace since June 6th... Somebody called him and told him he needed to go read it, so even thought he isn't on my MySpace, he went to my page, found the blog and read it, and got PISSED OFF... poor baby... I would almost feel bad except that the entire blog was true, every word of it... And he was so mad that he had to ask somebody to call me and have me remove the TERRIBLE, OFFENSIVE, HORRIBLE blog from MySpace... Really??? I have an idea... How about you Man Up, do what you should, act the way you should, call as you should, send a card once in a while, you know, Act Like a MAN, and not like a little boy... THEN maybe the blog wouldn't have been written in the first place... You think???? But, since you don't know about this blog (and I don't think your family does either) then I think we are safe to put it here, and I can vent to my hearts content... Bless your little heart... at least you have found a new girlfriend, because when you are happily occupied with a girl then you go back to ignoring your offspring, and as long as you are ignoring them, you are not doing any more damage to your youngest that for whatever reason you cannot except for who he is... BLESS YOUR POINTED LITTLE HEART :)


In case you have not read the horrible offensive blog... HERE it is :)



"He had a birthday... But you didn't call...

He made the honor roll... But you don't know that...

He took Spanish this year and did GREAT... But you never even asked about it...

He also was in Algebra... and ACED almost every test... But you don't know that...

That boy is a fucking genius... all he wanted was to make you proud...

But none of that is good enough for you... Obviously...

But guess what...

This year...

For the first time...

He didn't ask...

His birthday came and went... with nothing from you... again... But this time... he didn't ask if you sent him something... this time... he already knew you weren't going to send anything...

I think... maybe... he has finally figured out what the rest of us have know for a long time...

That you really don't care about them...

To bad it took him 15 years to figure it out...

It only took his brother 9 years...

Have fun with that...

To bad you won't read this..."




But it is now gone from public view on myspace and the unnamed person would be happy now... lol.. cause you know my whole life revolves around making that person happy... ROTFLMFAO

The Gay Dream has been passed on... LMAO

I went to see my neighbor today after her daughter's birthday party was over... to see how my kids did while they were there... because my kids do not have a real good track record with her... (they did great) and while I was there she asked me about "The dream", she asked if I had ever told her daughter or my daughter that you have a dream that tells you that you are gay, and I asked her why, because I had in fact told Sister about the Dream, but I didn't remember if her girl was there for that or not... so she told me what had happened and it was a bit different from what I had said so I told her the entire thing and we had a good laugh, so later when her girl came down stairs we told her the right story so she would not be confused, because we didn't want her to have the story wrong... End result being that her daughter understands that when she gets older she will know if she wants to date boys or girls, that she can not "catch" lesbianism from being around me or my kids, that is really the biggest thing about this whole "dream" thing, because little kids think that by being around gay people they will turn into gay people... So... The Dream has been passed on...

On a lighter note... CS now feels comfy having Blondy at her house without me there... When Blondy was a younger child he has aggressive tendencies (and that is putting it lightly) and he would beat the hell out of people, and he frightened CS terribly, she really didn't even like to come in my house when he was there, it didn't matter that he was 3-4 years old and she was a grown adult, she was scared of him... today they made friends, he followed her around her house and he was so calm and polite, I think she said he said something about how pretty her nail polish was or something like that and since he was just very nice, calm, polite, and pleasant, she say that he is no longer that angry violent child that he was when he was younger, thank you counseling (he went twice for a total of 2 1/2 years) I have tried to tell people that he has changed and is now doing sooo much better than he was when he didn't get to be himself, but people just don't listen... lol... I guess seeing is believing :D

Entitlement

Where does the Princess get this feeling of Entitlement from? Did I at some point in her life inadvertently teach her that she is entitled to receive everything yet work for nothing? Why does she feel like she can make all the messes and yet not have to pick up anything? Her room (yes she is the only kid that has her own room, the boys all share) gets all messy and she thinks that she can just go outside and play, yet the boys have to go clean their room before they can do anything... She makes a mess in the bathroom, that is OK, she will just say it was there before she got in there and have one of the boys clean it up... she doesn't have to take out the trash, that is one of the brother's chores, she doesn't do the dishes, that is another brother's chore, she does clear the table, but that take a moment... So from now on she has to clean her room everyday, and clean-up the bathroom everyday, the boys also have to clean their room everyday, and since the older boys have an everyday chore she should have one also, so the bathroom it is... lets see how she likes them apples...

Every time she is asked to do ANYTHING she pouts, and/or cries... its bull... and then she gets sent to her room until she is done, because it pisses me off that she is trying to manipulate me like that, so she can just go away till she is done, then she can come back when she is finished and do what I said in the first place... I don't know, is that a girl thing? Or a her thing??? Grrr... Oh well... lets see if this works....

Surgery it is...

On October 5th I am getting my Knee surgered... Is that the corrected term? lol... I don't know... Anyhow... the doctor is going to go in there and scrape off the little deposits that the arthritis has put on the inside of my kneecap or maybe it is on the ends of my bone that goes on the inside of my kneecap... anyhow, he knows what he is doing and my knee hurts... I have tried the doc prescribed anti-inflamatorys, we tried the giant needles that get stuck so far into my knee I think I should see them come out the other side and then goo gets shoved in there, ice the knee and wear a brace, all the kind of stuff, and it hasn't worked, so this is really the last straw before a knee replacement and I am to young for that... I do have a very high tolerance for pain so that is a good thing, but really, this is getting out of hand... so we will do this and I should be good for a number of years the doc says... and he hasn't steered me wrong yet, so here we go... I am waiting till October 5th because I may be laid off by then, so that will give me plenty of time to heal properly... Yeah me :)

My job... Well.. it was...

As of this morning at 8am my job will be more than half gone... I am going from 40 hours a week to 16 hours a week... yup weekends only... Yeah me!!!

I knew this was coming, I just thought it wasn't going to be coming for another 2 weeks :( Oh well, I only found out for sure a couple days ago... I need to get a few things in order and get an appointment with the knee doc to have that surgery I have been putting off... might as well, get it fixed now while I have the time... lol...

For those that were NOT Geek enough... lol

If you Google "Translator Binary code"... and then copy and paste in what I had written it would have said

"Are you geek enough to figure out what this says?

OK..

Now, are you also geek enough to write back the same way?"


I found a translator that lets you type in letters and then it translates into Binary, HEX, Base64, DEC/CHAR, and one other thing that is untranslatable once you translate to that one (tho why you would want to do that I don't know...) and that is where I go to translate mine...lol... and it also lets me but the Binary in and translate it back :) YEAH me... It is fun to play with...

For a while I was worried about how my kids would react...

At first I was worried about how my kids would handle me coming out... I didn't know if they would be embarrassed, or try to lie about me being a Lesbian... Well... I got the answer loud and clear a number of times now... My kids have absolutely NO problem with their Mom's sexuality... First of all the eldest 3 wear Pride bracelets and if you ask them what they are they will tell you what they are and why they where them, that always makes me a little proud :) But the one that make me smile the most is Sister... I have pages from a calendar on my wall in my bedroom, my parents send them to me each week, the pages are of girls in bathing suit, its from a one a day calendar I got my Dad for Christmas, when the week is done my Mom sends me that weeks pages... So... Sister brings friends over to play once in a while, and for whatever reason they always end up looking in my room, I guess that is a girl thing, and the little friends ALWAYS ask Sister "Why does your mom have pictures of girls on her wall" and Sister just matter of factly tells them "Oh, that is because she is a Lesbian" and most of the time the little girls have to ask her what that is... lol.. cause they don't know... and Sister tells them "That means she dates girls instead of boys" and then she says something about lets go put on make up now, or are we going to watch TV, or whatever it was they were planning to do before the little girls got distracted by the girls on my wall... So Sister doesn't make a big deal about it and doesn't let her friends make a big deal about it either... once in a while I hear the girls ask Sister questions later when they are away from me and she just answers them like it is no big deal and then they keep playing... I am proud of my kids for educating others also, that is helpful in combating the hate :)

It also is nice to hear them tell me I am the best Gay Mom ever :D

"Thats so gay"

This is a frequently said phrase by a lot of teens, pre-teens and even younger kids, and a lot of adults actually... some Gay folks get very offended by this phrase, I personally don't, but then again, it takes a LOT to offend me, I just think to myself when people say this that either their Momma didn't teach them any better, or they just aren't thinking about what they are saying, more than likely they are not saying it to be mean, it is just something that is said so much that people pick it up... However... There are some Gay Folks that are very offended by this phrase... Now, when I hear somebody say "that's so gay" I usually say "That so Straight" and it get the point across and we usually laugh... it has had some of the desired results and the amount of times I have heard the phrase has reduced dramatically :)

NOW... I recently read a blog by a guy I went to high school with, also Gay, funny as all hell, and his approach on the "That's so Gay" is way better than mine, I don't see it actually working, but I really like the idea, sorry Hopper, but I am rewriting about your idea here cause it merits mention... Here is his idea: Anytime somebody says "That so Gay" you go over and start kissing them, like seriously making out with them, LMAO... So eventually straight people will think that when somebody says "That so Gay" it is a Gay persons mating call... I like that idea... his blog was way more detailed than what I just wrote, he even had an outline for a commercial, it was funny as hell... and if we could get that into circulation, (the idea that "that's so gay" is the gay folks mating call) then I bet the phrase would slowly be phased out... could you see the teenage boys sitting around and one of them says "That so gay" and the other one jumps and says "OMG, don't say that... its the mating call of the gays" it wouldn't take long.... Thanks for the funny Hopper :p

Are you geek enough??

Big Brother cracks me up

Big Brother is getting his BIG voice... So when I take a nap on the couch before work I have had to ask him to get one of the little ones to wake me up, because his voice startles me. If you are use to no men in the house and you are woken up by a "Man Voice" it scares the crap out of you... seriously.. I almost jumped off the couch and kick his butt the other day cause he scared me... poor guy, I think I scared him...

So today I was laying on the couch, taking my nap before work, and Big Brother decided to wake me up on his own.. he used a princess voice... LMAO... it was the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life! Poor guy... he was just trying to help, but you really can't lower that voice very much.. At least he woke me up on time :)

Thank you for getting me Triple A

I have had Triple A Plus for 6 years now... Cheez got it for me after I slid off the road during a storm and an asshole stopped to help me out of a ditch and tried to charge me a bunch of money so the cops wouldn't give me a ticket for failure to control... Anyhow... Here is why everybody should have Triple A if they are going on Vacation...

If you can afford to go on Vacation, then you can afford Triple A Plus... I believe that Triple A Plus costs less than $100 a year... With that you get up to 3 (or maybe it is 4) tows a year, that also means you can get them to come pick the lock on your car, bring you enough gas to get to the gas station, fix your flat tire... and those tows are for up to 100 miles away, that is great! You also get discounts on stuff... like 10% off on hotels, shoes, and various other things... So... keep this in mind... Because in my day to day life, things happen that make me thankful for my triple A :) Like Today for instance...

Today... I won't say where I was... BUT... I was talking to somebody that was on Vacation and they were away from the hotel that they were staying at and they lost the keys to their hotel room, their home and their CAR! I am guessing that there is a spare set of keys in the car because after paying $45 for a taxi to get back to their hotel they had to look up a locksmith and tomorrow they have to pay ANOTHER $45 to get back to their car to have a locksmith get them into the car... or maybe they think the locksmith can make them a new key? I don't know... but either way... If they had Triple A and there was a key in the car, they could have called them and it would have cost them nothing :)

Bless there hearts... I love my Triple A Plus and I think everybody should have one :)

Thanks Cheez :)

Little Brother...

I forgot to put this up when it happened..

I have not been sleeping real well lately... so a few days ago I get home and I am walking around doing a few things and I get up stairs and am getting ready for bed and Little Brother is sitting on my bed watching me and he is holding a book, I figured he wanted to read with me... so I finish getting ready for bed and asked him if he wanted to read... and he says that he was going to read to me so I could go to sleep better cause I wasn't sleeping so good lately :) So I laid down and he started reading to me about the Lorax... I don't know how long he read, but before he left he covered me up with more blankets than I covered myself up with... lol... He is so sweet sometimes :)

Free chocolate...

You should go to Realchocolate.com every Friday... they will send you a coupon for a free chocolate bar... Yes, every Friday... Or that is what I have been told... I missed it by about 5 hours... damn it... And actually i don't think it has to be a chocolate bar, I think it is also for MnMs, or anything by that company... I will find out next Friday and let you all know a bit more... cause this company kick ass so much that they are going to send me a reminder e-mail on Thursday to go to the site and sign up to get the coupon on Friday :) How nice of them is that??? I know, I know, it is just a gimmick to get me hooked so I will buy chocolate the rest of the week... but still!! I am willing to give this a try... and you should also... cause it is FREE CHOCOLATE!!!Ok... I am done pimping the free chocolate here...

Heather...

Hmm... She is having a mid life crisis... But she isn't even at Midlife yet.. So.. How will she be remembered.. I think I can help answer that a "little" bit... Cause a person can not answer that for themselves, you can't say how people will remember you, cause you are on the inside... only the people on the outside can answer that, and not just one person can answer it, cause everybody sees you differently... So, I can going to throw my opinion on here... not that she reads this... but that is ok... my blog is for my thoughts :) Here we go...

How DDH Will Be Remembered By Me and Mine:

Daddy Heather (Best Dad ever)
Went with us to Gramma Mouses house
Went with us to Cedar point
Let Blondy and little Brother stay the night (they liked that)
Taught Mom how to make good coffee
Remembers that Blondy is a boy (he likes that)
Gives Kati cool girl cloths (she likes that..lol)
Doesn't make fun of Big Brother (he likes that)
Forgets the right words when she talks and laughs when we make fun of her
Doesn't get the jokes sometimes (kind of like me...lol)
Can't ride a peddle bike, but does great on a motorcycle :)
Makes kickass roast (even if her husband doesn't like it)
Makes kickass potato soup
Makes the BEST pasta salad ever!!!
Will give somebody the shirt off her back (unless it has Jack and Sally on it, then she will give you the shirt off her husbands back)
Does not have a problem with blood (somebody she knows has a problem, but we won't mention his name... )
Rearranges obsessively
Has the best husband anybody could ever ask for (If I was straight I would clone him..LMAO)
Loves the Beatles... Band not bugs
Never forgets a birthday
Is easy to get a joke over on (Like the turkey machine)
LOVES to smell her Hubbys armpits :)
Gave birth to 3 beautiful children

There is actually more to her than all of this... but my brain is tired.. and I think you get the idea.. Yes, her JOB is to babysit little children... but that is not who she is... And for some odd reason, all those kids think the sun rises and sets out of her butt! At least I know that my son does :)

So... I hope DDH gets through this 1/3 life crisis soon :) maybe she just needs some ice cream and coffee and cheesecake ...

I think we should have a room named after us :)

Sister and I were in the ER this evening... She had to get 3 stitches in her ankle... She was at the park with her 3 brothers, they rode their bikes there, and she cut herself on a rock... They got the blood to stop with some paper towels from the bathroom before coming home... it was about a mile away from home... She walks in the house and says to me "Mom, I need a bandaid I cut my ankle" I looked and it was gaping open... Yeah... I knew she was going to need stitches... I just love the ER... They were quick, faster than I thought they would be... So I won't even be late for work :)

And I thought that we would be able to get through a summer with no stitches... oh well...

What totally surprised me was that sister rode her bike all the way home with that nastiness on her ankle... I thought she would have sent one of the boys to get me.. She is so tough :) Here are a couple pictures... First one is of the ankle while we were waiting for stitches and the second one is after the shower after she got stitches... ewww ewww ewww.... lol

I work to buy my kids stuff... LMAO

I now have that Joby Job I mentioned.. I wasn't aware that when I told the kids that I was working so I could buy them stuff that they would take me so litterally... It was a talk we all had, about me working and that they were going to have to pitch in more around the house and really make sure that they are getting their chore done... Because since I am now working outside the house that means I will not be there to clean up after their slobby butts! So they were good with that plan, I work and bring home money so they can have new things, and all they have to do it their regular chores and maybe a little extra, like vacuuming and helping me sweep the floors... little extras like that... Well...

I got paid and the first thing we did was go buy new bikes for the 2 oldest boys, littlest brother doesn't want one, he wants Blondy's old one...lol..ok with me :) but since they were getting bikes I told Little Brother that he could pick out something, he wanted a shirt, a brand new-nobody else has ever wore it-shirt... this made me laugh, he is 6 years old and I just realized that he never gets new cloths... he gets hand me downs... so given the entire store to pick anything he could have... anything at all... he picks a shirt, he has tons of shirts at home... but this one was NEW, nobody else had ever worn it before him... he was to excited...

Well, we also went to see the Transformers movie while Sister was at visitation... and since there was still money left over, they want to rent movies on my next day off... I think we may need to sit down and revisit this "I work to make money to buy you stuff" theory... because I also have to pay bills, put gas in the Platypus, and MAYBE once in a while I might get to buy myself a little something... I may throw in the fact that they aren't keeping up there end of the bargain... I still have to clean the house ALOT... They can really mess that house up fast... and they are not good at fixing it... I will have to have a talk with them about that also... maybe we will put up a list again with what has to be done each day... that might help... Or I could just take the videogames away and hide them all... I bet that would do wonders :) Yup... I'm evil...HAHAHAHA

I will have to put up pics of the bikes once I get Sisters bike on monday...

Sister and I both got our hair cut

Oil change

Don't forget to have your oil changed every 3,000 miles, it helps with gas consumption and wear on your engine... My place I go to ever figured out how to reset the Oil usage gage thing... They are great :)


Alright, that was todays public service announcement... You can go back to your regularly scheduled... Whatever you were doing... LMAO

Pride

We went to Cleveland Pride... It was Me, MSGF, MSGFW, Blondy and Sister... We had a BLAST!!! We got to see Lyric Styles perform, the kids were stoked about that... We also got to see the CKG perform... that means they got to see Logan perform, they LOVED that, but that is an entire blog all to itself... the whole Logan worship by my kids...lol... They just Adore the Kings... But mostly... Logan and Lyric... Don't know why... but ya... Anyhow... We also saw Wasted Productions perform... that was awesome, they always put on a good show :)

I don't know for sure what the kids were expecting, but they did have a really good time... I am glad they went and I think that at least Blondy will want to go again next year...

The only bad moment was when they saw MCIBTY... Both Blondy and sister pulled a T-Rex on me... I sent Sister to find MSGF and MSGFW so she would not have to see MCIBTY and then I stood in front of Blondy... we went to another area shorty after that so they could have some quiet time to relax and recover, and we talked about it. I assured them that she couldn't get them and that she was never coming back again, and that me, MSGF and MFGFW would protect them... Then they had a drink and a snack and checked out the water for a little while... It was a very tense moment... I have never in my life seen my kids that scared, and I still don't know the full story about what happened that makes them that afraid to see her after 5 months... Maybe I don't want to know... But if they continue to be this frightened of just seeing her, I may consider putting them in counseling, cause that reaction was not healthy, she didn't even talk to them... I don't know...

I did get to see The Pink Haired lady and Lyric, but only for a few minutes each, I took the kids up to see them a few days after pride.. it was great to get to hang out for a little while and see them all relaxed :) But I did have to tease MSGFW about Lyric...LMAO... Bedroom Eyes... And Blondy got his picture taken with Lyric... it was so cute :)

The day after Cleveland Pride Me, MSGF and MSGFW went to Gay Day at Cedar Point... That was a blast... we didn't ride all the rides, just the ones we all wanted to... and me and MSGF broke the Top Thrill Dragster... twice...lol... but then it went on the 3rd time... Big Tough needed to be told everything would be ok for a few rides.. but she did AWESOME... LMAO... GOOO BIG TOUGH... We had a a wonderful day and it was a fabulous Birthday... the girls treated me terrific... they had the people running the rides tell me happy birthday...ROTFLMFAO... that was funny...

So... All in all it was a great weekend and I can't wait for next year!!!

There are just somethings...

There are just somethings that you can't put on your blog.. cause people will see themselves and get PISSED off...

Those are the things you call your friends about... or you call your mom on the way home from work and tell her about... but you do not put them in your blog... cause you never know who is reading it... and damn... there is somebody in my life right now doing stupid crap that I want to hit with a stick and tell her to just stop... really... I never knew any one person could be this ignorant... Or maybe she just does not realize that she is that dumb... maybe dumb is not the right word... transparent? maybe that is the one I am looking for... I don't know... all I know is that this chick is causing me to consume large amounts of coffee some days, and that is just sooo not good for me... hhmmm... What to do What to do... if only I could ignore her, or avoid her... but no, that is not to be... Bless her heart... Yup... I listened Shirley :)

Joby job :)

So I now have an outside the house job... I like it :) The pay is good... I have to learn how to sleep when I need it and i can... cause I can't just sleep anytime... I use to be able to sleep whenever, as long as there were no kids to babysit in my house, if I needed a nap all i had to do was have little brother come lay on my back and put in a movie and I could grab a quick hour and a half nap and then I would be fine... well... not anymore... I can't sleep at work...LMAO... I still watch kids when the momma's need me... but it is summer and they don't need me so much...

My job is very interesting... lots of interesting people... VERY interesting stuff happens at my job... and I have started another blog that talks all about it.. so if you want to hear about the job, get ahold of me and I will send you the link... unless somehow it is linked to this one and my non-tech-savy self just doesn't know how that works...LMAO ... It isn't always interesting... but sometimes... WOW... very interesting...

So the kids are visiting Gramma and Pappa for 2 weeks... I miss them... but everybody knows that...lol... I always miss them... I borrowed my friend's dog a couple times... that helped... LMAO... and I am still watching kids... so that helps also... a bit... I don't get them back for more than another week... but they will never learn how to function without me if they don't go places... so they go... and they LOVE going up there...

there was some drama on my mommy board.. I am not happy about that... I think everybody needs to put on their big girl panties :)

I finally got my translations done for my japanese board... that took forever... translating english to written japanese, then translating the entire thing to code for the computer so Scruggs could get our board fixed so we can get japanese people on there also... but it will improve our board... and that is what matters... but man! my eyes were tired!!

Ok... I think that is about all that I have to say for tonight...

Quick trip my butt...

June 4th was the last day of school... So that was the day that I took the kids to the Grandparent's house... They are staying for 2 weeks... The trip up was "fairly" uneventful... LMFAO... ya right... Lets see... I got the cloths packed, I forgot the cabbage, the flowers and the pineapple, and 2 of the kids forgot their shoes, all they brought was their crocks... I told them to leave their shoes on... oh well... we brought dinner with us, that was in the Platypus and ready to go when the kids got home, all was ready... so we left... the kids argued, as usual... But the fun part was when I was going about 80-85 and this guy in a maroon vehicle climbs UP MY ASS in the fast lane, there were to many cars in the slow lane for me to get over so I just kept going for a while until I could get over, anyways.. this guy was so close to my ass that I couldn't even see his headlights in my rearview mirror, I was on the phone at the time and the person I was on the phone with got to hear some colorful language..lol.. sorry about that... well I did eventually get to move over into the slow lane so this guy could get past me, he did and then he took off like his ass was on fire, I mean he had to have STOMPED the gas petal once I was out of his way... So I got my self back into the fast lane once he was gone and went alone my happy little way... about 10 miles down the road I see that the police have pulled somebody over... I wonder who it was... was it??? YES... it was... LMAO... The guy that was one my ass!!! ROTFLMFAO... Karma Baby... I guess you aren't getting where you were speeding off to after all... To bad!

So we got to the grandparents house and unloaded the Platypus. The kids were like "Ok... we are here... you can leave now!" Hey guys... Thanks for missing me :(

I did stay for a little bit... I went out to the chicken house and got a few pictures... more of the fuzzy bunnies... a few of the chickens... and my dumb ass dropped my camera in the bunny water... BTW... when a digital camera drys out it still works :)


And on the way back, the construction workers decided to close the highway... ok.. that is just not cool... cause I only know the one way to get back to home.. and that is in a gayly forward line... there are no variations... So I had to stop and have a worker write down directions so that I could get back to where I had to go... cause I sooo was not finding that on my own... lol... no way.. I threatened to cry at him... it was 2am... you can't just close the highway at 2am and then expect me to find my way threw a strange town at 2am... WTF??? But I did get back on the right track after a while... I didn't get home till almost 4am... It was a 12 hour trip total... I was TIRED when I got home.... I took me 2 Red Bulls, 1 Sweet Tea, and a Monster to do that trip... By the time I got home I couldn't feel my face... LOL... but I did go to sleep pretty well :)

So we went away for a weekend...

We left for a weekend. It was Big Brother and Sister's birthday's this past weekend...

We went up to see the Grandparents... The kids LOVE going up there...

Tons of stuff for them to do (not like there isn't stuff to do at home), good snacks (not like there isn't any at home), plenty of space outside (cause there is NO outside space here..lol...), the list goes on...LMAO

So the kids got home from school on Friday, I told them to go make sure that the vehicle was tidy, while they were outside I grabbed the deodorant and other stuff from upstairs that we would need to go...

Then I told them that we were going to do laundry so they needed to go up stairs and get all the laundry in garbage bags so we could take it with us to my friend's house... so they did... while they were doing that I went in the kitchen and grabbed all the pills and put those in a bag that I had on my shoulder...

I told the kids we were going to my friend's house to do the laundry because we just didn't have the money to get it all done this week... they never even questioned it...

So we got on the turnpike the same as when we go to see the Grandparents, we got off at the same exit to get gas, then got back on the turnpike and then got off at the same exit like we always do to go see the Grandparents... we stopped at the same McDonald's as we usually do... we took the same turn onto the same Route US23 as we usually do... EVERYTHING was the same as if we were going to see the Grandparents...

And really?? Who drives 2 hours to do laundry? In all that time not once did they ever dought me... not even once... I was asked what my friends name was... so I said "Fern"... I had to pause for a moment and think about it... but I did throw a name out there...

So I kept on driving, and finally when we were getting to the "Welcome to Michigan" sign I made Big Brother put down his DS down for a moment and I told him to take in the scenery and rest his eyes for a moment.. then he figured it out.. and says "Oh... Is Fern another name for Gramma??" Well... Thank you Captain Genius!!! It took you long enough... And HE is the smart one!!!

So we went and did some shopping on Saturday for the birthdays, the kids liked all the stuff they got, in the middle of that we went to Hooters for lunch... THAT WAS GREAT!!! We embarrassed Big Brother, the sang to him cause it was his B-Day. Then we went home, had dinner and then cake... it was a good time :)

All these pictures were taken while we were there... Mouse has baby bunnys and chickens, the one pic of the full size chicken is an Easter chicken (she lays green eggs), Kody is petting Lady Godiva, she is the turkey that found and adopted Mouse years ago and now lives there with them and likes to be petted :) And there is also a picture of the biggest danged squirrel I have ever seen in my life!!! (yes, I know it is a raccoon, it is a joke that I call it a squirrel, just play alone...ok??) And there is one flower, it is called a Johnny-jump-up... I think it is pretty... I like purple and yellow together...

Since Little Brother's Favorite color is Green I will use that for his blog...

Little Brother got his first pair of Glasses last Friday... All of them now have glasses...

Big Brother, Blondy, and Little Brother have to wear their glasses all the time, Sister only has to wear her glasses when she reads... not that she does... but she is suppose to... ANYWAYS... Little Brother got his glasses and he LOVES them... He hasn't even tried to take them off, I thought for sure he would... but he hasn't!! YEAH!!! We are hoping they help with his headaches... The only problem we have had to far is that he keeps putting his dirty little fingers on them, so then we have to wash them, and him, then put the glasses back on and start the process all over again.. LMAO... he is only 6 you know... Oh well... the same thing happened when the others got their glasses, I just forgot about it until he started doing it... He looks so handsome in his glasses :)

Are you following me??

Do you ever wonder if somebody is following you???

I was recently informed by somebody that an ex of mine was checking up on my threw my friends...

That is kind of creepy...

Don't you think???

LMFAO

Is it bad??

That I take pictures of my kids when they are laying in the hospital bed waiting for the doctor to come see them?? He wasn't crying... he was bored... so I took a pic... Does that make me a bad mom... I was bored to... and I wasn't sure how to turn the TV on... we did eventually figure it out... and he ended up being just fine... Quit looking at me like that... He was fine... it isn't like his leg was broken or something...

Cheeseburgers this time...

Well... There really isn't much going on in the world of Freakville lately...

We go outside when it isn't raining, we play ball, Sister is the best hitter, Blondy trys the hardest and Little Brother is only interested if he is the one at bat... Big Brother doesn't normally want to play with us at all.. but he does get out there with us sometimes, so that is progress!

Summer is coming and the kids will be going to visit Gramma and Pappa for a couple weeks.. That will be nice because it coinsides with when I am suppose to start my FULL TIME JOB!!!

Yes, I got a full-time, out of the house job! I am super excited.

The kids are excited to be going up to see Gramma and Pappa, they look forward to that every year...

We are going to Cleveland Pride this year, June 20th, Sister and Blondy are going with me, the other 2 don't really want to go with, Little Brother says he does but I know that once we got there he would be bored, and that would be a very long day with a very bored 6 year old...

I am hoping to take the kids to Cedar Point this summer. I know that Big Brother will ride rides, and Blondy and Sister might ride rides, but I don't know if Little Brother is even big enough to ride anything... So we will see...

But I do know that with a Full-Time out of the house job, we will have more money (I think?? LOL) and we can go do more stuff...

I also want to go to the beach with the kids, I know they would like that... they love the water :)

Sister and Big Brother's birthdays are coming up... I am getting soooo old!!

I really can't think of anything else that is going on to tell you about Dear Blog Reader... So I guess I will go for now and have a cup of coffee and relax...

I hope everybody has a Coffee and Cheesecake day!!

Squirrel Stew... Its whats for dinner

4 Squirrels

8 carrots peeled and cut up

15 potatoes peeled and chopped up

1 big onion halved and then quartered

beef bouillon

Throw that all in a pot with a bunch of water and boil the hell out of it for about 8 hours... yummy!!!

WTF is sheep camp... lol

I have been asked this a LOT since Blondy went with Mouse to sheep camp... LMAO... so I will try to explain a little bit... and I have pictures to go along with...

Blondy in the Pen with a Ewe and her baby... she liked him...

So Blondy went with Mouse to Sheep camp, at Sheep camp the Momma sheep have the babys and after they have the babys they are put in pens (like the picture above) for 24 hours, if they bond with their babies they are then put in bigger pens with 3 other momma and their babies (i'm pretty sure...lol) if they do not bond with the babys then those babys are put in a "orphanage" room to be taken care of by people. The "bummer" babys are then fed bottles, as shown in the picture below...

Those Bummer babies loved Blondy!!

And he really seamed to like feeding them those bottles too.. :)

So... Besides the fun stuff... like feeding babys... there was other things to do... like cleaning out the poo... and feeding and watering the mommas... You have to get up early (7am if I remember correctly) go to bed real late (11pm I think I read or was told) and you work all day long...

Black Sheep of the family LMAO... I love this picture!!

There were also 14 large white dogs that you have to avoid, they are the guard dogs and they are there solely to guard the sheep, and they will growl at you if you get to close... do you have to watch out... I don't have pictures of them... sorry...

Where is our bottles Blondy???

It is a good learning experience for the youngins, and Mouse goes each year and has a great time... So... if anybody ever wants to learn how to raise sheepys and have a little fun with lambys and work your ass off... get a hold of Mouse and she can get you in contact with Pachy the Lamby Lady... Blondy had a good time...

Blondy with one of a set of Quints... I think...

My daughter asked me...

Sister asked me when do you find out if you are gay or straight...



Does she think she is going to get a postcard in the mail?? LMAO



So I saw this thing on the TV a while back, yes I had cable once for a little while... lol... and I uses the idea that I saw on there to answer sister's question, this is what I told her:



When you get to a certain age you will have a dream, and in this dream you will kiss somebody, after you kiss that person you will look at them, since she is a girl, if the person she kissed is a boy, then she is straight and if the person she kissed is a girl, then she is gay.



She was totally happy with that answer... lol... Am I the only one that gets the weird questions?

Blondy is leaving on a jet plane...

Blondy is going with Gramma Mouse to Sheep camp and then to see the Cali relatives... and he doesn't know it... He will find out when we get to the airport and I tell him to get out of the Platypus... LOL... That is what he is doing for Spring break... All the kids get to go camping with Gramma when they are 10 years old... he is 10... so he is camping...

I hope the other kids don't get to pissy at me... Sister probably will... she gets pissy about everything!

Oh well... she will get over it!

Beef Stew

Don't you just love the smell of Beef Stew cooking?

I think i will also make biscuits...

Spring

I LOVE THIS WEATHER!!

SUMMER IS COMING!!

GET OUT THE BUBBLES!!

GET OUT THE BAT AND BALLS!!

GET OUT THE FRISBEES!!

GET YOU ASSES OFF THE COUCH!!

COME PLAY!!

GO TAKE THE KIDS TO THE PARK!!

WE MIGHT BE THERE... IF WERE AREN'T... WE ARE PROBABLY AT ANOTHER ONE!!

HELL YA!! ITS SPRING!!!!

Its been a hot minute...

Since I blogged... So I guess I should...

Since I lasted threw a blog on here I acquired a vehicle by way of my 'Rents. Cheese and Mouse saw the Platypus on their way home from dinner, I believe it was, one evening. It was sitting on a corner, and it was meant to be... so it is now here in Ohio with me, being driving around Norwalk. I like it, it seams to like me, we haven't' gotten in any arguments, so I guess we have decided to make a go of it... and the kids like it...

I have started helping K in her shop, it is working out fine so far, at least she hasn't tried to kill me yet... so that is good.

The kids are losing all the toys again, my previous plan of taking the toys away and giving them back a little bit at a time didn't work, so this time they will lose them all for a longer time and we will see how that works...

I got a picture taken with Logan, the Drag King with long hair, the kids were VERY impressed, and are now even more excited about going to Pride with me in June, they think that the Kings are celebrity's and that I am the best Mom ever because I know them. I kick ass!

Blondy leaves for sheep camp in a week and he still doesn't know.

Little Brother is going to spend the night at his friend's house tonight for the first time ever, and the go to his birthday party tomorrow. He is VERY excited.

Sister has a sinus infection.

Big Brother has almost all A's in school.

I think that is all that is going on in our mundane little lives... You all have fun...

I woke up today

Feeling like I must clean everything... It is horrible... Why can't I just be a bum? I don't want to clean... I want my house to stay like it is... I have a headache... I want to take a pill and then wait for it to go away.. but I also feel like I NEED TO CLEAN!!! omg... this is terrible... I just had to share that.. I am now going to go finish this cup of coffee and then clean my room... and hope this headache goes away while I clean... LMAO

They didn't get the hint...

Everybody got to pick a toy today.

My house now looks like shit again...

I guess they didn't get the hint after having NO TOYS last week...

There are books all over my living room floor as well as those 9 toys.

So I guess that tomorrow while they are in school I will be putting those toys all back in the closet and they also will be losing the book privilege...

Really? How hard is this? I thought that by giving them back one toy each it would make it easier for them to learn how to do this... Just put the damn toy away.

I really don't know what else to do. Really. Is the answer to my problem going to be to not let them have anything at all? If they have no toys, no books, no nothing, then they can not leave a mess. I asked them repeatedly to pick up the toys and books and I told them that if they do not do it, they will lose the privilege of having them. I am tired of yelling.

The whole point of my taking the toys and other things away and trying to teach them to pick up after themselves is because I don't want to yell at them. I am tired of yelling at them all the time. I should be able to say "Its time to pick up the toys, the kids are leaving soon, so lets get this done" and they should all do it.

It won't be a problem the rest of this week, cause after I get done with the living room tomorrow, there will be nothing for them to mess up...

I AM FRUSTRATED

I sent their asses back to bed...

My nieces and nephew spent the night last night because their mom had to work over till 7am. So my only comment last night after goodnight was "If you wake me up in the morning, I will send you back to bed" i told this to all 7 kids...

What did I hear first thing this morning? 7 very loud kids... I had such a headache from them, being woke up by that much noise always gives me a headache, that is why I told the 7 kids that I would send them all back to bed if they woke me up.

Every Saturday morning my kids can get themselves up, take their meds, get their own breakfast, and sit down quietly and watch a movie. Then I can get up about an hour later and there is no problem. So I do not see why the addition of 3 kids that are the exact same age as my kids should change this at all. They should be able to get their own cereal, take their own pills and sit down and watch a damn movie for an hour.

So I got me and my huge headache up, came down stairs, got all their pills out (because NOBODY had taken them) and made everybody clean the huge mess they had made, then had them all take their pills, then they were all sent back to bed... I told them they all had to lay down for 45 minutes and be silent, cause that is how long it would take for my headache pill and coffee to work so my head would feel better. I also said that if they did not be silent that they would have to lay down even longer... so about 5 minutes later I hear my niece... so she got the privilege of standing on the wall for 45 minutes while the rest of the kids did their time. When they all got up, she was sent to bed till lunch time... Maybe next time she will do as she is told.. I am getting a little tired of that one thinking she can do what she wants to...

After that, they all figured out that I was not having a good day and they all behaved REALLY well...

Hope you all had a SUPER DUPER Saturday...

Day #5 of no Toys and Beki sucks...

This day was really not so bad.. they seemed to have gotten the point... except i think they decided to go on the offencive... Lets see how FUCKING LOUD we can be...

It was Friday so i thought we would have a movie on... I was watching Changeling, Angelina Jolie... yummy... and I asked the kids to please eat their snack and be a little quiet so I could finish my movie then they could watch Speed Racer, since it was Friday, it would be nice and the week hadn't REALLY been that bad, just minor offences... nothing earth shattering... they are kids after all...

But it was NOT TO BE!!! DAMN IT!!! I finally threatened to put them all on the wall until my movie was over if they did not shut their mouths!!! There was only like 10 minutes left... that is all... 10 minutes... come on... its Angelina!!! Give a Lesbian with her favorite actress a break!!! They did calm down after I threatened the wall... And they did get to watch their movie...

So the school week ended... It was fine... Lets see how next week goes???

Day #4 of No Toys and Beki Sucks

Today I was upstairs in the bathroom when the kids got here.

And when I came downstairs I was NOT a happy person!!!

THE TV WAS ON!! Oh hell no... What part of "You get to do nothing except read books after your homework is done" do these kids not understand?

I am very seriously considering extending the nothing except reading books rule for one more week, cause they are not listening to me about it right now, so maybe they need to go without, for 2 weeks so they can get the point!

Day 1 - drawing on my homework paper by 1 kid
Day 2 - drawing on my homework paper by 2 kids
Day 3 - drawing on my homework paper by 3 kids while I went to the bathroom!!!
Day 4 - watching a movie!!!

Lets see how day 5 goes, cause so far it has been getting worse each day...

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE MY JOB!!!!

Day #3 of NO Toys and Beki Sucks

Once again they wanted to use homework paper to draw on... but this time they waited till I went upstairs they they got out the paper and pencil without asking... I fussed and they put it away... I was not nice...

Oh well... they will learn...

Better luck tomarrow...

Day #2 of NO toys and Beki sucks

We did better today with the no toys... Because it was such a nice day today (Hey... UN, we did wear sweatshirts...lol...) that we all went outside.

We got out the bikes and I made sure the chains were oiled and tight and the tires had air and I also got out Little Brother's skate board. The kids played and had a great time. So today was not bad cause we didn't have to be in the house.

We did get all the homework done first, and then grabbed a snack on the way out the door. Homework is way more important than fresh air... sorry kids...

I talked to Blondy about getting him a new bike, he has FINALLY gotten to tall for his old bike, so we decided to get him a bigger one and give his old one to Little brother. Little Brother is SUPER excited, he has wanted Blondy's bike for a real long time, I told Little Brother that we can take the tires off the bike and paint the frame any color he wants, he said Gold...lol... so when Blondy gets his bike we have to pick up a couple cans of Gold spray paint. Then we will have an extra bike for the babysitting kids, that will be helpful.

I was asked one time by one of the kids if they could use the homework paper to draw... I said NO... that is for homework... that was before we went outside...

Day #1 of NO Toys and Beki sucks!!!

So today was the first day that there were no toys, coloring books, or any entertainment available except reading books, in my house...

First thing they all thought they were going to do was use my Homework pencils and Homework paper to draw... Umm HELL NO!!! You can read books or stare at walls... And they were told as soon as homework was done why they were not allowed to have toys or anything except books. I also told them that this would be going on for at least one week. I told them all that if there was even ONE book not put back on the shelf during this week, we would do it for two weeks. Cause that is how mean I am...

They did fairly well, not to much fighting (except for the small incident where T kicked little brother in the mouth and knocked out his tooth, but it was wiggly anyways, so that is alright) and everybody put back the books they were reading when they were done.

We will see how they do tomorrow.... I AM going to have a clean house!!!

Learning the hard way...

The kids are learning that when mom says pick your shit up, she means it...

I'm not just waisting air here... I mean... pick your shit up!

Chore list:

1. Take a shower everyday
2. Brush your teeth twice a day
3. Pick up your dirty cloths from the bathroom
4. Make your bed (all that means is, pull your blanket up to your pillow)
5. Do your individual chore : Kris: Dishes Kody: Trash and help clear table Kati: don't cry when told no and help clear table Kole: no fighting in school
6. Put away toys after you play with them

And, in general, help keep your house clean, you live here, so don't trash it... This doesn't sound like to much to me, it basically sounds like age appropriate stuff... I think...

And for the babysitting kids, I ask them to put away the toys they play with, that is all, just put away whatever you play with. If you get it out, put it back... simple? I guess not!

My house has been looking like a hurricane went through it!!! Every single day I clean and clean, and every single day, they destroy like it is their job... food on the floor, I sweep up enough food to feed a small army! Dirty cloths left in the bathroom, toothpaste on the walls, toothpaste on the floor? WTF? Towels on the floor? WHY??? Towels in the living room?? Why are you getting dressing in the living room? Your cloths are upstairs... Dirty cloths in the hallway... Bed are not only NOT made, the blankets are not even on the beds, they are on the floor, as are the sheets and the pillows! And when I ask you to go make your bed, you say "Yes Ma'am" and go upstairs and when I check after you leave for school, you haven't done it... good job...

And why are we leaving the lights on all day long? I turn off 3 lights as soon as you leave for school, everyday. I don't get it.. do your bedrooms NEED lights when it is daytime and they are empty? I'm just wondering?

And are your clean cloths going to fold themselves? You have been folding your own cloths for MONTHS now, but suddenly, you can't? You leave them, clean, in a basket, until you need them? I don't think so...

So... once again... The children are learning a lesson... we cleaned today... a lot.. the toy closet got cleaned, the right way, with everything put where it belongs, and then all the coloring books and crayons got put in there, and markers, and everything, except reading books, that means all games, and electronics, also got put in that closet (except for a selection for baby J, cause he is to young to understand) and now all the kids, including the babysitting kids, get nothing to play with, cause I am tired of them not picking up after themselves, so now the only thing anybody gets is books to read, that is it, they come over after school, have snack, do homework, and read... sucks to be them. They have been told for weeks that this would happen if they didn't do what i said, and they didn't believe me... now they do...

Tomorrow my kids get to learn AGAIN how to fold cloths... since they seam to have forgotten how to... and since there are no toys, they will have plenty of time to fold cloths... and then put them away... Oh ya... and clean their rooms...

They also cleaned the bathroom today... because they are the ones that keep putting toothpaste on everything... I really thought they would learn about the toothpaste, this isn't the first time that they have done this...

I just keep telling myself 12 more years... just 12 more years... just 12 more years... that is all...

Snot

So i had this cough thing going on for a while... I was coughing like crazy... coughing up lung butter... it was gross...so that finally is going away for the most part... But now it has migrated to my nose... I think i have a sinus infection... that is also gross...

So i think that the Doctors need to come up with tubes for your sinuses... they have tubes for your ears... why can't they make tubes for your sinuses? They could put one tube from the right sinus into the sinus in your forehead area and one tube from the sinus on the left into your forehead area, then a tube from the right that would go to your nose and a tube from the left that would go to your nose... are you with me? If not you can call me and I will explain... so then you just need a sterile rinse, maybe like saline or even an antibiotic rinse, and when your sinuses are causing you problems you would just hook up a bag-o-water to one nostril tube and a suction tube to the other nostril tube... then flush... the water would go in, loosen it all up (maybe it would help if you shook your head around a little bit while the stuff was in there) and then the suction tube would suck it all out... You might have to stand on your head so it could get real high up in there actually, but i think it could work... doesn't salt water (saline) break down mucus? i bet after that your head would be nice and clear! No more clogged sinuses, no more stuffiness, no more blowing your nose and staying up all night cause you can't breath... Think of the benefits! The doctors need to get on this! And then pay me royalties! Since I thought of it...

And while we are talking about tubing things... why can't they just stick a tube in your lungs and suck out the lung butter when you have bronchitis or pneumonia? I know you would still have to have antibiotics to kill the infection, but wouldn't it help to get that lung butter out? Maybe give you some of that "make you real sleepy so you don't fight" medicine, then stick a tube in, suck it out, then when you wake up, off you go... Its just a thought, but it could help... I think...

Housebitch for rent...

I feel like shit... and I have 4 kids... and I feel like shit...

We, as in Big Brother, Sister and myself, spent Saturday cleaning the house and getting the laundry done, cause we all know that Blondy and Little Brother don't do shit... bless their hearts...

But now the house once again looks like nobody is cleaning, cause I feel like shit... so that means that I can't spent half the day picking up after the slobs I live with, I am soooo tired, coughing, wheezing all that crap, the meds do help, but still... and there are about to be 6 more kids here besides mine, and as we all know, they are not going to improve the situation... bless THEIR hearts... but it isn't their fault... they are kids... it is what they do...

So here is my thought... I should open up a new business "Housebitch for rent" Its a great idea, really... If you are sick and single and need somebody to come into your house for a day or a week to help out with cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, call "Housebitch for rent" and they can come over, and do all that stuff for you! You can stay in bed, get better, take your meds, the "Housebitch" can bring you chicken soup and OJ, clean the house, get the kids up in the morning and kick them out the door to school all that stuff, and you can just concentrate on getting better... It would be like having a Wife, but with no emotional upkeep... and that is sooo what I needed these last couple days... a wife... to bring me soup and OJ and meds, and get these damn lovely kids to let me rest cause I was coughing till i puked... and then the pain from coughing that much really really makes me a TAD grouchy... just a TAD... and if they ask me for one more thing I may hurt somebody...

It is times like this that I realize why our brains are geared to want to be together with another person, it is for survival... Not just our survival, but survival of our children... cause if i don't get better, they aren't going to live much longer...

So... "Housebitch for Rent"... It sounds like a good idea... and it wouldn't have to just be chicks, there could also be guys that could go be "Housebitchs"... Guys can cook, clean, and take care of kids just as well as chicks... Well.. some guys... maybe... Ok... There HAS to be some out there SOMEWHERE... LOL

I want this vehicle!!

So I borrowed CS's vehicle to take Sister to the Dr. this evening... doc says for now maybe just a cold, but we are not ruling out croop, we will see if she gets better with cold meds or not, but she was barking last night a bit, so we don't know...

Anyhow... This vehicle...Its a Kia Sportage... ABSOLUTELY FUCKING FABULOUS... I loved driving it... I just have to talk about... I fit in the drivers seat and I can reach the pedals, there is plenty of room in the passenger seat and the backseat seats 3 and with plenty of legroom... AND there is enough trunk space for all the groceries... how could it get better??? It ALSO had 4 wheel drive... all you had to do was move a shifter INSIDE the vehicle and you would be in 4 wheel drive... so no getting stuck in the snow! And it is small, so good gas mileage, it looked like a Femme version of a SUV... lol... It felt so great driving it... I don't know why, it just did...

I am sooo going to have to convince CS to let me borrow that again... I need to drive it further than to the doctors office!

Half days from school SUCK!!!

Today all the kids had half days from school... so that means that at 12:15 2 kids walked in my front door, then at about 1:00 7 kids walked in my front door, then at about 1:45 1 more walked in the door... AND THEN at about 2:10 the last one was dropped off by his mom... for those not keeping count.. that is 11 kids in my house... EVIL... EVIL I tell you!... Half days are just wrong...

Really? Why bother? We get the kids up, dressed, fed, off to school, they are only there for 2 1/2 hours then they come home hyper as hell cause they are soooo excited to not be in school... and then we are stuck dealing with them being hyper for the rest of the day... Makes me want to feed my kids candy before school tomorrow.

So they all got here, we made lunch, spagettios, mac and cheese, and corn. Everybody ate, then washed their hands, then we did out project that we have been planning for a while... We made picture frames with their pictures in them, I printed the pics on my printer, it was just stuff I got on sale after valentines day, but the kids loved it...

For our frames we used a big foam heart, glued the picture to the middle, then glued a heart frame on top of that so the picture showed through, then the kids got to decorate it however they wanted... There was red, pink and white heart, purple butterflies, and then glittery hearts that were different sizes and also pink, red and white. And each frame got the word LOVE on it somewhere... The kids loved it and it kept them busy for almost 45 minutes!!! I told them that the frames have to stay here tonight so they can dry and everybody can take them home tomorrow... cause then will be dry then...

After we were done with that they played while I made snack, then had snack and then everybody I think was so worn out from excitement that they just wanted to play board games and watch a movie... lmao... go ahead guys, we never watch movies with the daytime kids... So I have kids watching a movie now and I am sitting by the boardgamers while I blog... I guess this many kids isn't so bad after all...

Tupperware update...

So the Tupperware part of the Tupperware party showed up... however the Toy lady part cancelled... I was disappointed, but we still had a GREAT time, we hung out till after 1am... it was fun... And I ordered some tupperware things that I wanted, so that is awesome, the kids are going to love it!!! I can't wait till my tupperware shows up...

I was invited to a Tupperware party!!!

It is called a Tupperware party, and i think that there is going to actually be Tupperware there, but it is also going to be a sex toy party, but we aren't telling the kids that... Sister and Little brother are going to the BSME's house to spend the night, so it will just be Blondy and Big bro here while I am gone, I love having a 14 year old son!!! Actually, MSGF's son might come over here and hang out with my 2 boys during the party, we don't know yet... I will find out later... MSGF's Son's code name is "Fuck You" LMAO... there is a story behind that and if you know it, you are laughing right now... But just a little...

So I am excited to be getting out of the house tonight, even if I am a little anxious about being around people that I do not know. I have a bit of social anxiety and usually it isn't bad cause it is when I am in a bar, so I just drink and then it is all good. lol.... But we will see what happens tonight...

Kole's birthday

Kole is 6 now...

We had ice cream cake and a few people just came over and are cake, nothing big. No party. Cause everytime I try to have a party, i buy all the stuff for a party, I make the plans, i invite all the people, they all say they will be there, the kids get all excited, I clean my house top to bottom.... and then like 2 people show up, cause shit just happens... they don't do it on purpose... shit just happens... so we don't do partys...

And how... Kole did get some good stuff this year for his birthday, he got a Gameboy Color and some games, he is real excited about that. He also got Colorwonder with 10 markers from Gramma and Pappa. MSGF and SGFW brought him some candy (thanks bitchs) and some little skateboarder dudes, he loves them. And today I went shopping and got him the skateboard he wanted, a couple sweatshirts (he loves sweatshirts), a new bat and ball set and 6 extra balls, and his fave movie... Rocky Horror Picture Show... he is going to be so excited when he gets home and sees that... I told him I would take him to the store and let him pick out a few things next time we go, but today I picked him up a few things as a surprise... I know he will like all of them...

He really did enjoy having some people here to have ice cream cake and they played games, so he had a good birthday...

And MSGFW brought their dogs over so he was real excited to see them also!!! lol... one is a Mastif, she is 60lbs, that is almost 20 lbs more than Kole!!! I think the other one is a Shelty? 13lbs? I just know it is a big dog for its breed... but it is suppose to be tiny... The kids all had fun with the dogs, except my niece who was afraid of them and hid upstairs.

I embarrassed the guy at Blockbuster

I think I embarrassed the guy that was working at blockbuster yesterday... well i tryed to...lol

A week after MCIBTY left me I called BB and told them that I wanted to make sure my EX couldn't use my account cause she still had the other card, the guy said they could put a note on the screen that says to check ID to make sure it was me, that way only I could rent movies, I said that would be fine. So I rented a movie shortly after that and sure enough the chick asked for my drivers licence, I showed it, I also told her thank you for asking and she told me that the screen said in big bold letters with exclamation points to ask for ID. So, I was happy, MCIBTY can't use her card and screw me over if she gets really pissed...

Onto yesterday. I go into BB and pickout a video, take it up to the counter, give it to guy, give him my card, I am all ready to get out my ID and all he says is how much I owe... wait a minute... isn't he suppose to card me??? So i give him the money and say "Is there still something on my account saying to ask for my Drivers licence?" and he says "Yes" and I say "The reason that is on there is in case my psycho ex comes in here and tryes to rent movies on my account" to which he replies "Well if some Man comes in here and trys to rent movies with a card that says Rebecca I think that would give us a reason to card him" so with a HUGE smile on my face, I use a clear voice and say to him "My Ex is a Female, that is why that is written on my account" He handed me my change, fumbled it a little actually, and then handed me my movie and recipe and I left.

I didn't have time to stand there and talk to a manager or I would have, but when I got home and was done laughing with my mother about this, I did call and talk to a manager, I told him what happened and that I was not mad, but that I am not happy about what happened...

But I did have to make myself stop laughing before I could call the manager...

Once again with the toilet

So the toilet hasn't been flushing as well as it should be... no big deal, it still flushes...

A couple days ago, like 5, Blondy and little brother got in an argument over a toy, I told Blondy to give the toy back cause little brother had it first, Blondy was pissed, but he did it...

The next day, the toy dissapeared, I didn't give it a second thought, Little brother couldn't find the toy, and eventually played with a different toy, and then the toilet started giveng us problems... did I make the conection? NO...

I found the toy today... ya... I am guessing I don't have to tell you where it was...

By the way... Toilet works fine now...

I love my kids...

The 2 youngest got V-day stuff

So my 2 youngest got Valentines stuff at Age Exchange.

Age Exchange is a program for kids in grades kindergarden threw 3rd. They go to the senior center once a week and do homework and crafts with a Senior volenteer. It is like having a surogete grandparent.

So anyhow, the 2 youngest went today and had their valentines party. They came home with all kinds of v-day crap (that almost sounds like they need a shot, eeewww) and little brother askes if he can have his cause there is some candy in there, I told him go ahead, and he digs through the bag and pulls out a green candy and a purple candy and brings them to me and tells me "you can have these cause purple is your favorite color and green is your favorite candy color" that was nice... He is being more calm lately and not so hateful, I think he is getting better the longer that MCIBTY is gone. Then there is sister, she just says Thank you and takes off and doesn't even come see me again...lol... she is great...

They both also have v-day partys at school tomarow, I can't send in anything homemade for there partys, we have the stomache flu in my house and I don't want to send in anything and maybe have germs be in it from us and get the entire class sick, so we bought a couple bags of cookies and sent those in... The kids won't care, cookies are cookies... there are also bringing in valentines with fundips attached for Sister and valentines with Pix Stix attached for little brother... they liked what I picked out...

Blondy is home for the 3rd day, he said he was fine this morning, had pizza rolls for breakfast, went to school and puked, DDH picked him up and brought him home for me...

Big Brother stayed home from school yesterday but went to school today, he is doing just fine...

Now if I can just keep my headache away, my stomache feeling fine, and my temper under control... all will be good...

My children HATE me... this proves it...

So I feel like shit... I have felt like shit for a while... headaches, tummy aches, not eating, and when I do eat it makes me sick... so in general I just feel like shit all the time... Stress, what ever you want to attribute it to... I don't care... this to shall pass...

So... on to WHY my kids hate me... Yesterday Kody tells me that his head hurts and his throat hurts and his tummy isn't feeling well so I tell him to go back to bed, he does. He wakes up at like 11 am I have him eat toast and take Motrin, he feels better, but the only thing he ate yesterday was toast... ok, he is ill... take a day off from school, get better.. it happens..

Then last night, Kris starts to not feel well... Oh no... another one... but it isn't so bad if it is just a little headache.. right??? So go to bed... then at 1:30am... I get woke up by Kris puking in his bedroom!!! EEEWWWW!!! So at least he is big enough to clean it up on his own, cause at this point in time, me smelling vomit is enough to make me vomit... ya, he is a trooper, he cleans it up all on his own... ya Kris... So morning comes around and Kody also complains about an upset tummy and since him and Kris sleep basically next to each other (bunk bed next to a college bed) I figure he got what Kris has.... so they are both home from school today... AND THEN... I get a call at 9:00... "Hello... Miss Hill? Hi... Can you please bring a complete change of cloths to school for Kole? We think he found every puddle between your house and school today... hehehehehe" Now I personally didn't find it anywhere NEAR as funny as this lady did, but I said to her "Sure... You KNOW he had to pick the day when I had two kids at home with the stomach flu, right... hahahaha" Can't let her have all the laughs... WTF??? I love my kids...

And this all on the day that MCIBTY decides to text me and ask if I will be at home for lunch so she can drop off my house key and my mom's book. I said hell ya I will be here, I want my fucking key back.... And I was here, and I also gave her back her pillow and when she asked "Don't you want to keep it?" with her sad widdow eyes (that was said with a baby voice) I said "NO, I have 2 others" she still has that look like she can't believe I am over her, like I should be pineing for her... I'm not pineing for you bitch... I am still pissed at myself that I let you treat my kids as badly as you did for as long as I did... and I will continue to be pissed at myself for that for a long time...

She asked why the kids were upstairs and why I didn't let then come down and see her. I told her all the good stuff, about how Kole asked Kody and Kati why they were crying since Stacey was mean, I told her about how Kody asked me to get a new Girlfriend so there would be somebody to yell at him, I told her that she couldn't see my kids until Kody could tell me something good about Stacey, and that right now Kody can't remember ANYTHING good about her, the only thing he remembers is her yelling, and that is a bad thing... and she says to me "He doesn't remember me taking him to the arcade?" and I said "NO, cause you never fucking did!!! You took everybody else, except him!!" and then she says "He doesn't remember getting rockband?" bitch I got them rockband!! what the fuck was she thinking??? and then she brought up christmas presents... really? you want to bring up that you bought then stuff??? that doesn't count... What counts is time, what counts is not yelling, what counts is being nice, what counts is memories, what counts is doing things with the kids that the kids enjoy... and for right this moment... ya... Kody remember NOTHING that you did with him except yelling at him... And that is what we talked about... and she didn't like it one bit... Cause she thought she was going to come over, give me my stuff, then give me a good "talking to" and then walk out after playing "My Cock Is Bigger Than Yours" and have a great day and feel like she WON this round.... I don't think it went the way she planned.... BUT... I did get my housekey back, so now I can be a snot if i want to, or just not answer the text if I want to... and MSGFW came over today (she was bored) and while she was here MCIBTY texted me and I got to text her back that MSGFW was here, she HATES MSGFW with a Passion for no reason, so it was kind of a dig at her that MSGFW was even in my house... it was funny, cause MSGFW said "tell her that I am her and that you will text her later" so I did... she stopped texting after that... just a text that said "ok... thanks"

I had an amusing day... 2 sick kids, one soggy kid, one ex that I want to hurt, one SGFW that made me laugh AND I got to go shopping with DDH and that is always the best!!!

So... Dear readers... I hope you are all having as much fun today as I am...

And to MSGF and MSGFW you are both the best, I am so happy that you found each other, you are a perfect match!!!

DDH, I adore hearing about your kids... They remind me that I want more!!!

LSNS... Your comments crack me up... You always know what to say... even if I don't always have the balls to do what I should...
