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...
