OK, I am so freakin' mad at my Sister... I mean,, ok, here it goes in a nut shell

I get a call last night at 9:30 (I am in my PJ's and in the bed)(before mid nite for the 1st time in 2 weeks)
Someone calles to inform me that my neice is at the local Crawfish Festival and is working as a "Carnie" a freaking carnival hand at a balloon booth... I know, so far it dont sound that bad...
Then they proceed to tell me that she has lied about her age to the Man at the booth, and told him that she needed $$$ (she dont need a dam thang)she tells him she is 17...
She is standing on the table , hollering at poeple to come and play games and give her money sitting there by her self with this snaggled tooth, bubble gutted, no shaving bald, 300 pound MAN, OK,

OH Did I mention that she is "14" yes fourteen years old.....

She has set her self up to be kidnapped, raped and killed,,, Shes a smart one aint she!!!

She was also EXPELLED from school (a christian school) for the year because she said that she wanted to cut the teachers throat or some crap like that....

SHE IS 14

My sister needs to get a GRIP

Let me just say , it's always very hard to say good by to an older person that you know they have lived their life to the fullest, but it is totally different to say good buy to a 12 year old child.. and that is what My very good friend Allison had to do Monday.

Allison and I were classmates all the way to graduation.. we were also preganant at the same time, in the doctors off every month together and were due the same month. I gave birth to K on September 6 and Allison to Aaron on September 23 of 1993. They were both healthy happy babies.

Aaron came down with RSV when he was 8 months old, and long story short he did not recover. He has been in a vegitative state for 12 years
For the longest time I did not know what to say to Allison and would run and hide if I saw her, but K and I received an invitation he Aaron's 1st birthday party and I just had to go.. We did and it was wonderful,,, all my fears were lifted upon meeting Aaron, he was a wonderful blessed child, that God just had different plans for!! The day of the party Allison asked me something, I never thougth much about, but now I do, she asked me if Kate could open Aaron's birthday presents for him... How special this was to me and my daughter, she opened his birthday gifts for many years to come and presented each one to him unwrapped with all the love a child could!!!

But Now he is in the lap of Jesus and is now once again, Happy and Healthy.

Though Allison and all her family and friends know he is happy, it is always so very hard to say good by to a child.. My heart breaks for my friend..

Let Me Try It Again

2006-03-15T16:19:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone
sorry i have not been bloggin, i have been busy...

Well if you ready http://butterfliesndazies.blogspot.com/
then you will know about my Friday nite, so I will move on.

Saturday my friend K and I headed to Shreveport to see our men folk, they were there for a week working so we thought we would go and make a night of it. It was nice to get away from the house and have no kids, we went to Bass Pro with the men and when they headed to work (they were working graveyards) we went and did a little shopping and then went to Joe's Crab Shack to eat... it was soooo good!!! The headed home Sunday!! No Biggie!!

My daughter is in the 7th grade and they are haveing to do a family tree project, WELL, how much do you think a 12 year old knows about her family tree... NOTHING, so who is doing all of this mess... Yep, yougot it dear old MOM... I hate it when teachers asign stuff to the kids that they know fool well it will fall mostly on the parents..
But I now think we have it lined out!! I hope anyway

My son dropped one of his classes at ULM, he is still having a hard time.. I hope he lines it out.. he has been researching what it is he really wants to major in and calls me today and says "I have to transfer to Tech" and take some classes at Grambling" UGH!!! I jsut dont think he is ready!! I guess I gotta let go sometime or another.

My hubby is starting to irritate me, I gave him from September to March 1st to get hunting and what ever else that may apply to that out of his system and here is it March 15th and he still has not done a darn thing around the house to finish up our remodeling job... I told him today that i was starting to get a bit mad,,, I bet if I hold out on the "Goodie Goodie" he just might get busy! what do you think??

S.- Hey Your Blog is F*#@ed up!! whats up with that???

I just ate some niller wafers and feel like i need to puke so i guess i will go now!!

Happy Mardi Gras

2006-02-28T14:35:00.000-06:00

Hey Everyone:::
Happy Mardi Gras From Louisiana

Although I must say that this is one of the most laid back Mardi Gras's I have ever had... I usually throw a huge freakin' party for Mardi Gras!! It's a blow out!!! But not this year, I am very sad over this!! We are cookin' Crawfish, eating King Cake's, swimming (some of us after one too many drinks)playing some loud music(80's ROCK) even showing some Tit!!, and Beads flying everywhere!!! We do tend to get a little rowdy!!
Well, maybe next year!!!

Dam this 36 year old body

2006-02-27T13:29:00.000-06:00

OK folks, I hate to say it, BUT DAM I AM GETTING OLD!!!
Summer is right around the corner, that means breaking out the shorts, tank tops and bathing suits!! Now that may not be scary to most of you but to this 36 year old freakin' woman, it's a dam scary thought!!!

So I say to my self, its time to loose that 7 lbs I want to take back off and get some color on my white ass!!

My B/F's Dear Hubby burnt me a few exercise CD's what is that shit called, Pilates.. Ok so i have heard all this hype about this 10 minute a day work out, how hard can 10 minutes be and just how effective can it be!! Sunday I deside to give it a try, I plop one of the CD's in and 12 minutes into it they start getting a bit too up-beat for me so I had a wonderful idea to try out the others, and that is where I found this 10 minutes work out..

It was so freakin' EASY, yep EASY, so I think to myself (i should not think to myself, "this cant be effective")it was very low impact and easy to follow and was over in 10 short minutes, very quick... IT CAN"T WORK

Well ya'll I am here to tell ya' that shit works, I am so dam sore that I can not stand it, it hurts to walk, sit, stand up, dam near hurts to breath!!! BUT I was true to wanting to tone and lose that 7 lbs so I did it again this morning, surely I can continue 10 minutes a day...

That is, IF this 36 year old body can stand it!!!

get her home she is a bit warm, her temp was around 100.. so i dope her up and send her to bed...
AT 4:45am she wakes me, I jump into action.... Taking the temp, getting her something to drink and meds ready.. WOW it was 103.5 (NOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING MY BLOG, THIS IS THE SAME CHILD THAT HELD THE DARN THANG TO THE LIGHT BULB LAST WEEK). But it is a true reading this time.. so we nurse this fever for 2 hours with meds and wet wash cloths the finally a cool bath. The fever never breaks,, so off to the Doctors office at 8:00 am.. well 1st off they weigh her and I almost fell out, that girl has gained 10 lbs since November.. (that is another blog), then the have to prick her finger.. well you should see how much drama a 12 year old can put out on a simple finger prick.. Then the Doc sends us to the hospital for a flu test.. by the time I left the hospital and got to Fred' to fill her meds the Dr's office called and told the Pharmacy to fill another perscription cause she had the FULL BLOWN FLU!!! GREAT.. so I get home strip her bed wash her bedding disinfect the house, give her some meds, feed her cover her up and get her settled...

2006-02-14T16:44:00.000-06:00

Well I have been asked about my blog so here goes..
I will try to keep it short so to keep your attention……
Long short

Me and Hubby are friends with JL and have been for 14 years. He has since divorced and now is seeing KB for 3 years and they have an 18 month old.

Over the course of 3 years I have seem 1st hand that KB is a habitual Liar. I have never seen someone just LIE. Lie to your face. Well none the less, Sunday my friend S gives me a shout and says “Just want to give you heads up that KB is telling everyone that you are throwing your shit in her man’s face (JL) and have openly said that she needs to F**k my hubby. And to make matters worse she says this came from my sister who has heard this…

Ok- OK

1st off, I am no Angle and have never said that I don’t know how to flirt. BUT not with JL.. He has been a family friend for so long,,, PLEASE… AND If I wanted JL I could have already done that way before KB came along… But I have NO INTERST AT ALL.

I have never thrown my shit on her man………

So any way, KB calls yesterday and says hey lets go to lunch… So I casually say ok,,, she don’t have a ride that day and wanted to leave the office (an office in which I put in a word for her lying ass and got her a job) So once inside my moving vehicle. I bring this up “She can’t get away!!!!!!!!!” Well she sits there mouth open, eyes wide and says that there is no way that she would have or could have ever said that, and swears on her childs life, I told her she better watch what she swears on!!!! Also says that I am one of her best friends and that she loved me to death and would have never thought that I would want to have sex with her man… dam right “Hell she once before told me that he had a little D**K, so tell me why would I even consider that. If I am gonna swing< By Jo its gonna be to something bigger and better things…

Now, the kissin’ begins, she bought my lunch yesterday and sent my daughter a huge basket to school today for Valentines day and has called be three times and e-mailed me several…

She aint nothing but a CRACKER!!!! S is my only true female friend, cause Sorry Ladies,,, but women are just too dam hard to be friends with………..

Gotta run

My Hubby & His Cards

2006-02-14T15:06:00.000-06:00

My Hubby is not much into romance, but he does try every now and again..
When Holiday's roll around and greeting cards are given, I really think that my hubby calls American Greeting and or Halmark and tells then just what he wants his cards to say... cause they fit hit to a "T"
I swear he must spend an eternity looking for just the right card!!

By now you are all probably thinking, awww aint he sweet, a nice romantic sweet greeting card...

NOPE...
Here is a taste of my Hubby's Valentine Card.

It's got a cute little frog on the front with hearts and says:
"To My Wife"
Do you think it's possilbe to die from too much sex?
I mean , litterally, have so much sex that we'd croak?!
Just keep doin' it, and doin' it, and doin' it until we're gone?
Morning, noon and night... constantly...nonstop...until we cease to exist?!!

OPEN IT UP AND IT SAYS.....

There's only one way to find out!!!
Happy Valentines Day

He is a NUT, Don't you agree????????

Happy Valentines Day

2006-02-14T14:37:00.000-06:00

It's been a busy day, actually a busy week and I have not gotten to blog the way I would like to.......

Small Town Gossip

2006-02-13T16:40:00.000-06:00

Small Town Gossip

I live in a small town in Northeast Louisiana. And let me just say it has its good points and it bad points.

Good points are that there is only one main road going thru town and you can find darn near everything you need on that strip. You know most of your neighbors. And it is just comfortable.

BAD POINTS are if you FART “EVERYONE SMELL’S IT”
OK

I have, more than once, been the center of small town gossip. Don’t ask me why, I am no one special. I have lived a plain life; I am a 36 year old wife and mom that works 40 hours a week and have prided myself for being an involved parent… That’s it nothing more nothing less!!

Why do folks have to open their mouths and start shit that aint true!! THAT DAM SURE AINT TRUE

Strong Medicine

2006-02-10T16:08:00.000-06:00

As we grow up, we learn that even the one
person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
probably will. You will have your heart broken probably
more than once and it's harder every time. You'll
break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours
was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll
blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll
eventually lose someone you love. So take too many
pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt
because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a
minute of happiness! you'll never get back.

FEVER

2006-02-08T14:05:00.000-06:00

This morning K woke up with her throat hurting a bit. Now mind you she has been feelin' kinda uckie for a day or two, So I fall for the I cant talk thing..
I pull out the med's and the thermoter and say "if you got fever you can stay home other than that you go to school"
I come back a minute or two later to check it and WOW, she has a fever of 103, but yet she is not flush, nore does she feel warm... ummmm

DO THESE KIDS THINK I HAVE "IDIOT" STAMPED ON MY FOREHEAD!!!!

So I casually say, 'Um, something must be wrong with this darn thang" as I shake it back down, I say come here baby (she is 12) and sit on mama's lap while we wait. And tada, it is NORMAL..

So I say to the little heffer, what did you do , put it under your electric blanket, she frowned and said ", I put it next to the lite bulb"

SEE, I am good, I knew that she was faking!!!!!!!!!!

Hoochie Doctor

2006-02-07T14:19:00.000-06:00

Ladies
I just LOVE going to the hoochie Doctor!! Don't you!!!

HA

There is nothing like having to go to the Doctor, break down to that beautiful white paper gown, sit in a cold room and WAIT!!! & WAIT AND WAIT... I don't know why they call the Doctor's Appointments, cause you never get in at YOUR APPOINTED TIME!!!!!! You would think it would be like a restaruant, if they dont wait on me fast enough or good enough that I deduct from their tip,,,, you would think we could deduct from our hoochie doctor bill if he were late for our APPOINTED TIME!! Of course dont get me wrong I love my doctor he has been my Doctor for 18 years now and for this he is the only one that I would want down there in hoochie town!! So I wait and wait...

And then all the time you spend making sure that you are fresh and presentable is shot down the drain with a clunk of KY and some funny looking contraption!!! There is a time and a place for KY and that aint it!!!

any hoo....... This was one of my new Years resloutions was to go to the hoochie doctor and I have accomplished it!! so YEAH for ME!!

Though yall would want to know all that!!!!

Rape Your Mate

2006-02-06T14:54:00.000-06:00

Sound interesting, uh!!

No really, My co-worker has a couples' game called "Rate Your Mate"
I thougt it was so cute that I found one on e-bay to purchase it was a game that was produced in 1994 and not available on the shelf anymore.

But anyhow, it test the skills of you and your mate to see how well you know each other and remember things about your mate.

But on with the story,, We went to a friends hous this weekend to watch the UFC Liddell/Couture fight. we grilled hamburgers and then broke out the blender for a few mixed drinks...

I was really worried that the men folk would not want to "Play A Game" you know how men are and all of these are country boys. So I sweetened the pot with the new KY Massage Warming Gel with massager.. none the less EVERONE wanted to play for the prize...

it was so funny to see the ladies answer what they thought the men would say and the men trying to figure us out!! now that was a hoot.. for ever question that you answered correctly you and your mate got so many points

We had a blast.... me and my hubby won with a total of 30 points and I got to take my KY Gel back home.... YAHOOOOOOOOOO

Butt Draggin'

2006-02-02T14:37:00.000-06:00

Have you ever had those days or weeks when your butt just drags!!

Well I am in one...

My hubby has had to change his work ours and has caused my schedule to be thrown off for about 3 weeks now... And boy is it catching up with me.

I can not seem to get in bed any earlier than 10:30-12:00 but I am having to get up at 4:30 -5:00, not my usually 6:15.. I know that dont sound like much but I am draggin' Butt BAD...

I make it to noon ok, but after that, I feel like an old horse out in the pasture,,, "Just shoot me and put me out of my misery"

I think I may need to start drinking my protein drinks again at noon to get to the 5 O'Clock hour....

HELP ME SOMEONE<,,, I need a pick'me-up

True to Life

2006-02-02T11:10:00.000-06:00

For those tired of the usual "friend" poems - a touch of reality...

When you are sad, I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the scum sucking bastard who made you sad.

When you are blue, I"ll try to dislodge whaever's choking you.

When you smile, I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.

When you are confused, I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass.

When you are sick, stay away from me until you're well again; I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall, I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath - I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask? Because you're my friend.

Teens and Hunting

2006-01-31T10:37:00.000-06:00

Oh My
let me tell you . My son L is not much in to hunting and fishing, but he does occasionally go. He is 18, but now he does like to duck and dove hunt... it's more exciting he says..

well M (S's deerslayer) has been hanging around again lately. These two boys have been raised together their whole lives. S and I have been best friends for ever and just assumed that our boys would be best buds for life, BUT they are night and day... L is more in to parties, friends, fun, clothes, etc and M is most into hunting & fishing, camoflauge and anything that pretains to the great outdoors.

Well the boys have gone duck hunting a few times this season with no luck, despite the rave reviews of how many ducks were there the day before! (haha- another hunting lie, i assume)

and to futher matters M purchases himself a fine small green dilly boat yesterday. He somehow talks L into going for a test run in this fine boat, to see if it leaks, alrighty then!!! L dont like fishing at all!!!! so they head out, mind you the wind is wooping pretty good when the boys hit bussy break. Oh and did I mention the part where the boat has NO MOTER... so after the float about 10 feet out L starts getting a bit worried, so he locates a stick floating in the water and uses it to paddle back, yep you guessed it, no paddles either. so they tie up on the bank and fish for a few minutes, not catching anything, but were sure that they would bite at another time!! (another hunting tail).. these boys head home.

Now you gotta understand M is so excited about his new boat, but L can sometimes be a bit comical. L starts telling me all this stuff and I can do nothing but bust a gut laughing at the two boys,,, They are 18 and grown!!!! I guess you really had to be there, but it was so funny to hear of their outting... no moter, no paddles 1 trolling moter that did not work right!!

I told them next time they wanted to go boating to please let me know their location so I could tell authorities where to start looking for their bodies!!!

They may be night and day, but they will always have ties to one another... cause its like this

You cant have Night with out Day!!!!

I love both these boys to death,,, Look out world... here they come

Official Rednecks

2006-01-25T15:13:00.000-06:00

Official Rednecks!!

Yep, that is me!!
I am “Officially a Redneck”
Now I know you are asking yourself “Why would this sweet Lady from Louisiana now deem herself a Redneck”

Well let me tell you!!
I have blogged before that my hubby is an obsessive compulsive hunter…. Well Friday past (I am late blogging about this, sorry) We both hit the door at the same time getting home from work and he asks me to go riding with him,,, now this is not some romance ride or anything like that ,,, it is to scout for deer,,, you know the big one that “He Saw” and did not get a shot at….. Anyways…Long story short
We are headed home at dark, I look up and squeal,,, a rabbit had darted inform of our truck. Well the hubby has to see if he hit it or not so, here we go, gotta back up to take a peek at the “Road Kill” and yep, he tagged the poor Ol’ Bunny, right no the nose, must have scared the darn thang to death…
Well, the story don’t end there, he looks the rabbit over and says, “Um, I think I will take this baby home, it’s not broke up or anything, still in good shape.” And he does, I am sitting there the whole time thinking that this is some kinda joke, he gets that ol’ rabbit home and proceeds to skin it, cut it up and wash it. Even went so far as to put it in my fridge… Well me being the “Wonderful Wife” that I am, broke out the fry daddy and sizzled that bur rabbit up for my hubby. He was loving it!!!!

I told him that we have “Officially become Rednecks”, and of course his response was “WHY”,,, Why, he has to ask………

WE WERE EATING ROAD KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much more redneck can you get ???

Just for the record,,, I did not eat any!!! I might be a southern gal, but I GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOME WHERE

Yep, I still have a Headache

2006-01-20T12:59:00.000-06:00

Darn Blog is messed up

2006-01-19T15:53:00.000-06:00

My friend blogged last week that she was almost ready to check of mommyville and a wife world.
Let me just say... I get this way (generally once a month) but none the less I get there...
Yesterday my day went a bit like this
UP at 6am, take the dogs out for their morning potty, wake my daughter, get her in and out of the bathroom (we only have one bathroom now), get hubby up (he's still laying in the bed resting his eye's so to speak), get son up. Get myself dressed make sure K has all her school stuff and snack $$, make sure L has is college schedule and notebook, fill crock pot with red beans, sausage, etc for red beans and rice (which after 15 years of cooking this, I have finally mastered the best cajun red beans and rice) fix me some tea and get out the door by 7:05.
OK all that with in an hour
Drop K of at Jr. High, and head 30 miled down the road to college to drop L off (he wrecked his (MY) truck for the 3rd time on Christmas break and now has no wheels to get back and forth to school))) haul butt back to town for me to be at work at 8:30... Then I have to work the front desk (ugh, this I hate) at 11:30 I leave for lunch, I get my oil changed, grab a bite to eat and go to the bank. Work til 5:00pm the haul my butt back 30 miles to pick L up from college. I hit the worst traffic. K has to be at Gymnastics at 6:00pm, I'm not gonna make it!! so I have to call a friend to go and pick her up, drop her off at Gym.. I get home, change out of my dress clothes, put rice and tea on to cook, and then head up town to pick K up for Gym. Getting home at about 7:10, whoop the TV remote out to plug in my favorite show American Idol, (yep am and IDOL NUT) get everyones plates ready, un- pack a box of deer meat that hubby brought home on commercial eat between all of that. Then wash load of clothes, wipe cabinet off, find another coller for PePe' he chewed his collar off while I was not watching!! fed the dogs, told K to take a bath, then my next favorite show comes on, Biggest Loser, so on commercials I was washing the dishes, put clothes to dryer. after that show, I walk the dogs again, lock the door, get ready for bath, hubby wants in there too, OK, That is fine we take showers together all the time,,, I have conditioner in my hair, shaving cream on 50% of my body trying to shave a spot or two (the hair on my legs was so darn long you could have braided it) HE TURNS OFF THE WATER... WHY??? So after I holler it come back on I finish my shower. Clean the bathroom up a bit, pick up dirty clothes put them in laundy room, get to the bed room, take my vitamins, set clocks, 3 of them, we sleep HARD.. and SHEW, the day is over N O T,,,, oh no Hubby wants a little something-something---- OK, so I try to work it out, but man if you knew my LONG WINDED HUBBY, well I finally give up on that and fuss for a bit, get up to brush teath, rinse, get a swig of water and pee and I finally hit the bed pillow at 12:00am..........
All this while I am on the rag!!!!!!!!!!!
SOME BODY GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK

Lord know's I need one, and some day soon would be nice!!!
I had to vent again

and to top it off, I WOKE UP WITH A HEADACHE and my hubby poking me with his AM Issues!!!

When do wives and mommies get breaks?????

2006-01-19T15:25:00.000-06:00

UGH.......
I know that i am not the only one with a sob story about kids and college
BUT this is my 1st Rodeo and I am here to tell you it is a huge racket!! A Money Making Racket!!!!!!!!
My B/F S has been in college for as long as I can remember and she is use to this mess... But to a simple ol'gal like myself this is just crazy!!!
1st you have to fill out the app for college and get accepted then you have to go thru the oreitation mess, then you have to worry about paying for it(this is of course my major concern) and then transportation back and forth (college is 30 miles away)
so we got thru the 1st semister ok, L's GPA was a 2.00, (of course he had a D in CPR, HOW do you get a D in CPR?? I use to be a CPR INSTRUCTOR))) (did he ask me for help?) Nope! he thinks cause I am a MOM I am a walking idot!!!!
NOW it is time again to spread out all your numbers to an online application (this I aint happy about) (I like a freaking peice of paper and a pen) get your taxes done, copy all that mess, get it all submitted and HOPE that I am poor enough to get approved to get some pell grant money cause who in the hell can pay $2000.00 a semister(or more)!!! I CANT!!!
I want my kid to have a education but UGH...
Can you tell I am a bit fustrated.... Sorry I had to vent
Been working on that application all morning and looking for books (he started spring session today and needs 5 books...) I have located 2 so far and i have a maybe on 2 so looks like I will only have to pay for one book.... KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED (these books MUST be lined in gold)
PS
IF YOU HAVE A CHILD THAT YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE COLLEGE BOUND<<< START SAVING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there are any praying folks out there...

2006-01-17T16:53:00.000-06:00

My sister KJLM is sending in her app to be on the biggest loser... by sis is one of the best folks in the world, as kind as they come.. But like always family traits take over and pounds easily take over... so she has no made a choice to do something about it ..
And she desirves it..
So we have her application ready and a letter I wrote, we gotta get her video done and ship the app out..
If there are any praying folks out there, please say a short one for her,,, she needs it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Years

2005-12-29T12:36:00.000-06:00

Well we are getting ready to ring in a new year... 2006
When I was a teenager in the 80's I never would have thought that we would be celebrating things in the years of 2000, like my son's graduation from High School. My daughter is scheduled to graduate in the year 2011. ugh!!

Well 2005 was not a very good year for my family financially. I wont get into the woes of that, but lets just say that in 2006 we are going to get back on track, to the way things once were. Bill's paid, no late notices, no phone calls... we are doing good so far.. I have been credit card free for over a year and that I AM PROUD OF!!! Christmas was a small set back we still have three bills that are due for December and only a few days left to tend to them. But mid January we should be back on track... With Christmas paid for IN CASH and no bills coming in.

Everyone makes New Years Resoultions and every year they are broken... So I am gonna try to set some reasonable goals.

1) Go to my gyno (yea I know yall did not really need to know that)
2) Get our finances in very good order
3) loose 7 lbs (hubby needs to loose 25 lbs)
4) Complete the remodeling of our home & shop

I hope to accomplish these goals by the end of 2006 and since they are reasonable they may just get done!!!

Wish me luck!!!

Here's to a Happy Healthy New Year

Merry Christmas To All........

2005-12-22T16:42:00.000-06:00

I will probably not have time to blog again until well after Christmas, so I wanted to take a moment to tell everyone Merry Christmas

I hope that each and everyone of you have a wonderful Christmas weekend and I that you are all kept safe.

Please remember the meaning behind Christmas

"Jesus Is The Reason For The Season"

Peace, Love and Joy to all

Merry Christmas

Family

2005-12-21T14:51:00.000-06:00

Family's are the strangest things!!
L is now 18 and I tell you, there are days that I want to look at him and just knock him in the head, toss him out on his buns, and say I have done my 18 years!! Then there are days like today when he is just the most pleasentest person to be around, I even hated to have to leave and go back to work.
Then I have K, she is 12 and VERY hormonal... VERY. One minute i wish she was 18 and out of my house and the next i wished she was still my rocking chair baby!!!
She is home making Chocolate peanut butter balls right now and having a blast!!!
I so wish I were home with my kids today!!!!
And Hubby, well he calls to just say Hey Baby, how's your day!? Just wanting to say hi, of course the conversation is only 60 seconds long, but I hang up with a huge smile on my face, KNOWING that he was at work and I was on his mind..

NOW of course all this may be totally different tomorrow!!

I guess that is why you call it family, because no matter what, good or bad, day after day... you just take what comes to you. And as for me,,, I am a very thankful mother and wife.. Things could be worse yet they always seem to get BETTER

IF you read this Mr. Roper, Thank you for your e-mail
I did not really think that anyone other than a couple of close friends read it. It shocked me this morning to receive and it was very nice to hear from you.
Soon after I posted my Blog, I stood corrected.
I knew that Dustin was at or around my age(I am 36), And I did have to be reminded that he and Sherry had Micheal together. I must say that I had not seen Dustin in many years. As most high school friends, we grew apart. Dustin was best man at my wedding to Jeremy.(Althought that was short lived)
I did see and speak to Angie a couple of weeks ago, she looked good, but still very heartbroken..

I introduced myself to you at the funeral before I left. And thanked you for such wonderful graveside service!! I, as well as many other classmates, family and friends, were so glad to hear you speak.

If you blog, attach your blog address to my comments so I can add you.

My prayers are with you and your family, always and expecially now with the Holiday's approching.

My KK

2005-12-19T13:34:00.000-06:00

Oh, bless my poor baby K's heart!!
she is in the 7th grade and one of the two biggest blessing in my life.
Well about a week ago, she fell of her bed and bruised her shoulder, I thougth nothing of it, then about 4 days ago she fell in our kitchen and burised her ankle pretty bad,, again , i thought nothing about it, but just refered to her as "GRACE"
Well the Jr. High called me today and said that my KK had falled out of her desk at school and landed on her elbow. OK GREAT... I must say that go tme to worrying about her and wondering. So I go and get her, take her to the Doctor & of course they send her to the hospital for x-rays, i was told to wait for them and bring them back,, (well since I had them I thought I would take a peek, I saw NOTHING) Back to the Doctor, her reads the x-Rays and says he beleives he sees a hair line fracture. For me to mobilize her arm and he is gonna get the x-ray doctor to read them this afternoon.. and that the treatment would depend on the x-ray doctor Cast or Sling!! ( I am for the Sling) she can move her little arm, she just said that it burns deep in her arm to straighten it.

So I say to Dr. Tran (he is a hoot by the way) I think her equalibrium is off, she has fallen 3 times in a week. So he takes a look in her ears, and YEP, MOM is right, her ears were red, swollen and full of fluid, he ask her if they hurt she said only in the mornings when she gets up and that her throat hurts also (she had the cruds a couple of weeks ago), he said that her ears should have been hurting, but be thankful that they are not, and gave her several medicines...

I new something was wrong my my Baby KK...

Nightmares

2005-12-19T08:21:00.000-06:00

Does anyone else have nightmares at Christmas time??
Aint that awful?
I have nightmares a week or two before Christmas and always have ever since I have had children!
I dream that I fall alseep and forget to put Santa out, or that we wake up and someone has broke in and stolen all of Santa's gifts, or that I might have one more gift for K than I do L.
IT STRESSES ME

I know that the real reason for the season is Jesus Christ and his birth. Christmas has been hyped up into nothing but a gift giving frenzy!!

So why do I stress over it...

Thursday Thirteen

2005-12-16T16:28:00.000-06:00

what is the deal with this???
Clue me in
and how do you paste pics on your blog

Who would have thunk

2005-12-15T15:48:00.000-06:00

Have you ever said to an old friend, "yea, if you in my neck of the woods come on over and visit"
Well I said that to my Blast from the Past,,, and HE DID
Today, came by my office. I was in WOW Shock,
no one ever reallys pays you a visit when you say that.

But we really enjoyed chatting about how we met, family, life, etc..
And he remembered where and when we met! WOW, he said that I made an impression, (made me blush)

I met him when I was 15 years old,(he was 18) I had gone to a sweet 16 birthday party for Jean Dance, she was friends with my THEN best friends Wennie Williamson. There, is where I meet this Oak Grove Bad Boy... we dated for several months. But then, long story short, I found that that he was not my cup of tea, soooooooo!! That was over. Never to speak to him again, He said that he saw me in Wal-mart about 4 or 5 years later (I worked there), but he did not speak.. so here 21 years later, He just popped in...

His hair was dark brown, almost black like mine, thougth now it is salt and pepper! he still looks very nice!!! Wow, we are getting old!!
that was 21 years ago!!

So I guess from now own, when you say , yea drop on by, you better be saying it to someone that you really want to see!! For they REALLY might just stop on by to shoot the bull!!

(IT WAS A VERY NICE VISIT)

And his name is.........

2005-12-14T09:51:00.000-06:00

Jamie Hunter
He was from Oak Grove, we only dated for a couple of months, he was truly a very bad country boy

Blast From The Past

2005-12-13T15:01:00.000-06:00

Ever been just sitting in your own little world of "Daily Routine" and get a blast from the past??
Well today I did
I work for an Insurance Company, and today an old class mate come in to file a claim, but did not have enough information so I had to call the City Police Department in Oak Grove, the dispatcher told me who had worked it. The name run in my head!! I thought , ummm could it be?? Surely not , not this guy , no way,,, he was very very BAD BOY, if you know what I mean.(We dated for several months) He could not be a cop!!!
So I leave my message and with in minute he calls, and as soon as he spoke, I knew it was "Bad Boy" himself,,, I almost fell out of my chair... I finished with my customer and proceeded to call him back, we talked for a few minutes. He is now a police officer and has been for about 8 years, married with two kids... WOW

He said that he got tired of riding in the back seat of the patrol cars and wanted to see what it would be like to drive one!!!

WOW
Blast From The Past

Wife Swap

2005-12-13T10:59:00.000-06:00

Well I have only watched this show a few times, but to answer your question S... Yes I think it would be interesting to SWAP
I would love to see just how useful I am or AM NOT>

Hubby said "No Way" when I told him that I was gonna do it too!!, I think it would be nice, I would hope that they put me in a house with a woman that has a maid and a butler,,, and a taxi driver!!

Cause girl you know we do more than our share.

I can't even say that me and hubby split the choirs...
And he wonders why I am such a B***h sometimes. He still has not figured out that I was so kind to him for two weeks after he 1/2 way finished my hall way... just imagine how nice I would be if he completed it!!

I guess I should not grip, it could be worse!!

BUT
YES I WOULD WIFE SWAP

BHS Rams * State Champs

Jack Daniels Cake

2005-12-12T14:02:00.000-06:00

Jack Daniels Cake
From The Kitchen of Jonette Gray

1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box of instant vanilla pudding
1 ½ stick of butter
½ cup of sweet milk
½ cup of Jack Daniels Whiskey
½ cup of sugar
5 eggs
1 cup black walnuts
1 ¼ cup butter scotch chips

Add all ingredients except walnuts and butterscotch chips
Blend well with electric mixer
Add walnuts and butter scotch chips
Pour mixture into a well greased and floured bunt cake pan
Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes at 350 degrees

Note:
I chop my walnuts and butter scotch chips, they are heavy and sometimes sink to the bottom of the pan, it causes the cake to stick to the pan.

How To Stay Young

2005-12-02T10:10:00.000-06:00

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the
doctors worry about them. That is why you pay" them" .

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is un stable,improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

2005-11-23T15:05:00.000-06:00

Do you ever wonder what makes a man tick.

My hubby can take a wonderful beautiful situation and blotch it up in a heart beat... He dont think... Not with the head on his shoulders anyway...
It is thought the head below the belt line rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes it really takes be flings me for a loop and I wonder, Why be married to start with.

Dont get me wrong I Love my hubby with all my hear and soul, Its sometimes I wonder if I Like him!!!
Does that make any sence.

Well I am gonna try to go back to bed, proably watch a bit of TV

Being a Hunters Wife

2005-11-19T04:59:00.000-06:00

Being a "Hunters Wife" is sometimes the worst thing in the world... It is Saturday morning at 5:00 am and here I sit at the PC not being able to go back to sleep... I just got my hubby and K out the door to go Deer Hunting..

UGH!! This makes my 14th hunting season and I wonder ever year if I will make it thru another one!!!

This I am promise you , if ever anything happens to my hubby I will never ever marry a man that hunts again.....

Staci's Dad

Long & Strong

2005-11-18T13:08:00.000-06:00

Hey B

Long & Strong is in the green bottle made by Garnier Fructic
I love it!!!

The Answer

2005-11-18T09:37:00.000-06:00

Yep I cut it, about 5 inches off if the length.

Everyone keeps saying it looks good,,, BUT I must say

I HATE IT... It just dont look right on me... I like my long hair and I can promise you this... we have already started the growing process

I am hitting it hard with the Long & Strong...

I everyone keeps saying that it is cause my hubby likes it long...
NOPE
It's cause I like it long..
Oh well it will grown back out!!!

To Cut or not to Cut ,,, that is the question

2005-11-16T10:11:00.000-06:00

I have been married to my hubby for 13 1/2 years and wtih him for almost 18.. My hubby likes my dark, almost balck hair long and straight.
When I became pregnant with my 2nd child 13 years ago, that was my LAST PERM... I went straight. Up until last October I ventured out and Permed my still long hair.. The hubby did not like it any and still dont. My hair holds a perm for a good long while. Well now that it has been over a year my ends are getting frizzy and very split.
I have an appt today to get a much needed hair cut. My hubby thinks that cuttin goff more that 1/8 of an inch is chopping my hair off.. BUT, I have in mind a bit more than 1/8 of an inch. I was thinking 4 or 5 inches that would still put it at my shoulders it would strenghtening it up and make it look fuller. It is so long now that the ends look thin thin and poor looking.
Sounds like I know the answer to MY own question.. I have one hour to deside!
My hubby would DIE

Just Existing

2005-11-15T10:11:00.000-06:00

Do you ever get the outta body experience of the feeling that you are "Just Existing"
No, I am not a freak, but some times I just get into these moods that I feel like I have already lived this day and it is a re-run,,, crazy dreams, 6th sence, what ever you want to call it...
I have felt like that for several days now, having weird dreams at night and having the feeling that I have already been thru the day that I am on!!So I feel like I have already done this and I am just here!!!
I have not really felt like chatting or talking to friends or family, I dont feel like doing anything, I feel like I want to be in my own little world!!
I dont know, I guess that I am a bit fustrated. I ahve been trying to clean my house and get some stuff done and there is not enough room in this new house for my stuff and it depresses me... I have been trying to figure out for a week where I am gonna put my Christmas tree and I have no idea, I have always loved decorating for the holidays... BUT NOT THIS YEAR!!! I dont have the money to do what I want to do for my kids or my hubby,
I guess I should just be thankful for what i do have!! and dont sulk!!

But still, I feel funny... maybe its the weather, i mean it is November 15th and I went out side this morning to walk my Pepe' and Foxy in a tank top and pj bottoms!! IT IS HOT AND MUGGY!!!

Devoted Or Dumb

2005-11-10T09:39:00.000-06:00

Ok, I dont know if you would call me a devoted wife or just plain dumb, but laast night my hubby asked me to leave at 7;30 to drive for an hour to plan deer food plots in the woods in the dark!!! So me and K change clothes and head to Fountain Hill, Arkansas!! And we plant and fertilize , lane after lane... until 11pm,got home at 12;15 and to bed around 1:00ish,then i was so tired i could not go to sleep so it was 2 before i saw the inside of my eye lids and UP AT 6:00
My hubby is obsessed with hunting! But I must say that he kills deer because of the way he hunts, it is very very one tracked during hunting season!!
I have food in my freezer so I guess I wont complain!!!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

2005-11-09T16:53:00.000-06:00

I have really been wondering why I have been having these feelings toward my hubby.. or better yet NOT HAVING these feelings
After talking to A today at work I think i have figured it out... You see my hubby has always worked on the road, being away from home.. So when we did get to gether there were sparks! well, he has been home for over a year now and NO SPARKS, its like he dont do anything just because anymore.. he use to leave me notes or pick me up a card or buy a flower here and there... Just because he loved me and missed me... well now we see each other everyday... and I get Notta, Nothing,, no note, no cards no just because.. and I think i resent that!!!
Maybe I need to send him away from home!! haha

But I do love my hubby!!

Tryin' to keep up with S

2005-11-09T14:40:00.000-06:00

Girl you are bloggin your heart out aint you

ok, lets see so far you want me to get on a plain... Girl I am a FLAT LAND INDIAN... I dont know about a big ol' plain that folks like to shoot down. And much the "Big Apple" you cant even drive a car there, buses, subways and stuff like that!! I would be lost as a goose. I will have to think on that one!

I have been rain danceing!! or more weather dancing,,, heck i have on flipflops today!! with the ac on at work... this weather is crazy.

oh, I am mad, I been looking at those darn robot vacuum, watching one in my ebay right now!!! This new carpet i got requires vacuuming every other day, and today aint that day!!! I am gonna have to come see how it works. I got a few more days on the one I am watching, it is RED

Thanksgiving will be held at my house this year!! The invite is always open to family and S you are family

I am excited aobut making our treats for christmas this year, we make something special every year for co-workers, teacher, friends, etc!! I think we have found something else to make peppermint white chocolate candy, it is simple and pretty. This is when S and I spend time JUST the two of us,,, in the kitchen catching up and just being us!!!

I sure hope my friend S starts getting back to normal soon!!! We need to play cards or do something!!! I like summer time better, playing cards on friday nite was so much fun!!

OH OH
Before I forget B & S the New Youk thing, Carri another of my friends to me today that (I forgot the ladies name) but she said that they are trying to get together old Mu Sigma students from Bastrop High School to take another trip to New York in two years, (Carri was in MuSigma too)

Inlaws or Outlaws

2005-11-09T14:37:00.000-06:00

Have you ever wondered why you have to take the Inlaws intil death does you part!!

This story is too long to go into, so to sum it up, I have tried for 8 years to mediate between my maw and paw inlaws since their divorce. so to keep harmony between the sons and their parents... UGH.

well today paw in law ticked me off!!! BUT lucky for me Hubby set him straight and settled him down,,, I was bout ready to scalp him!!!

OUTLAWS

George Jettson Car

2005-11-07T13:24:00.000-06:00

Ok, I had to get a rental car the other day and they gave me a George Jettson, butt draggin' Hybrid

WOW
You dont even have a key to cranp it, it was a chip that you inserted, then you pressed a button to crank it and to turn it off!!it had a compact computer screan in it, with the raido, climent control, and stuff like lights and on-star*
IT was so weird... it gets 385 miles to the tank around 65 miles to the gallon... That sure beats any of the 4 - 4wheel drive veh's that we have!!! My kids loved it.. But, it was so low to the ground, I am use to being up a little higher!!!

My Hubby said"Could you imagine what it would cost to get that thang fixed if it was to blow a fuse" Got that right!!

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

Hoilday's

2005-11-07T09:12:00.000-06:00

Do you realize that we only have 17 days left until Thanksgiving!!
And 48 days until Christmas!! That means that I have to pull a rabbit out of a hat for Christmas in two pay checks!! yep two paychecks until the big day,,,
The weather here has been so crazy we have set record high's for November, and to tell you the truth I just dont feel like Christmas shopping when it is 88 degrees out side and I can wear a short sleeve!!
Although I did make a trip to Wal-Mart yesterday morning, I have 2 nieces and 4 nephews and 1 little brother that I still consider a child (he is 15) and every year I try to buy kinda the same thing for them all, it makes it easier on me and none of them can say I did more for one than the other!! For example 2 years ago they all got sleeping bags, last year the girls got purses and the boys got duffle bags. I was stumped this year... BUT guess what I figured it out yesterday in Wal-mart... SLIPPERS,, not just any slipper but the funny ones.. I got bear feet, spider man, bull dogs, fuzzies!!! The cashier at Wal-mart must have thougth I had flipped, I checked out with 9 pairs of slippers!!!
My sister asked for a blanket, so I got one for her and her hubby. My other sister!! I have no clue as well as my Parents NO CLUE!!!
Well I guess I had better do a bit of work, or I wont be getting those 2 paychecks either!!!

WOW

2005-11-03T11:06:00.000-06:00

WOW, Prayer does work
I no ore than posted my last blog whe S' DHUBBY, called and said that she was already out of surgery! it only took 3 hours and she is doing GREAT!! All went well and they did not have to do as much as was expected.
Thank you Dear Lord for answering prayers!!!!!!!!

Need a Prayer

2005-11-03T10:50:00.000-06:00

Well, here we are again, my best friend S is at this moment in surgery in Shreveport. This is the 2nd of 3... I am not gonna get into all the hows and whys... BUT My mind will be in a daze all day her surgery to be take 5-7 hours.....
I am just asking for Prayers!!!
Please pray that she is healthy and strong enough to make it thru the surgery and recover quickly (#1 was a doozie on her)
I pick at her all the time about her "Poor Ol' Body" but really in the back of my mind it worries me so much.... It's like her body has somehow rejected LIFE.... You name it she has had it!! Mastered it!! Beat it or is Dealing with it!!!!
I have joked with her that her 2006 New Years Resolution should be "NO SURGERIES IN 2006"
But will all jokes aside, S is my best friend and has been for over 20 some odd years, she is more of a sister to me than anything and my heart aches evertime I see her body and mind go thru something like this... she is my soul mate of soul mate in the BEST FRIEND DEPARTMENT!!!

So, Please pass the word along, to say a little prayer for S today..

P A R T Y

2005-10-28T09:32:00.000-05:00

The time is nearing!!
Saturday all us "Old Folks" are gonna have a P A R T Y,,, yep a Halloween Party.. Complete with costumes and music... I cant wait. I love to dance but at the ripe old age of 36, I dont get that opportunity to do so anymore.. I don't do the bar scene so the only chance I get to get out and shake some booty is when we(me , Staci , Karen)get together to call in all of the old troops to shake a leg... It is sometimes costly on my pocket book, BUT,,, good grief I am getting old.... I AM NOT DEAD!!
So tomorrow night I will transform into an Indian Girl and shake my savage butt... All night long

What are the keys to your heart?? Here's mine

2005-10-28T09:26:00.000-05:00

***The Keys to Your Heart***

You are attracted to good manners and elegance.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

Looking in a mirror

2005-10-26T10:51:00.000-05:00

When I look at my daughter K, I sometimes feel like I am looking in a mirror. A 24 year old mirror, but none the less a mirror. My daughter has favored me from the moment she enter this world. At birth her Daddy said, "Well, looks like I had no part of this"
It is almost scarry!!
You see, I was a very bold and outspoken child (still am to an extent, I have learned how to be more laid back)looking back I am not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.. I was never picked nor did anyone mess with me or my siblings (and firends"S") I have always held my own. I would have rather asumed kick butt than have to deal with what was at hand.(And did a few times)
But on the filp side to that I have also been called a "B" or a Bad A** for that and still to this day...
I am in a sense glad that K can take care of her self and is not afraid to speak her mind.
BUT BUT BUT!!!
But, times are different now, you dont just get into a scrap at school and then stay the night with that person or hate someone one week and love them to death the next.... Times are so different and with children in possesion of drugs, guns, & Lord only know what else, I do fear that she may come across the wrong person. ( I mean good Lord, my hubby came home last night saying that a woman he worked with said that girls at the Jr. High were hiding xanax bars in their tampon wrappers)
I will say this is scares me to raise a GIRL!!! she is now 12 and man are we hitting Pre-Teen years hard!!!
But with that all being said,,, If my baby girl turns out like her Mama, I don't think that will be so bad!!! So if she just like her Mama, IT'S A GOOD THING

Hey B Thanks for the note about meeting K, she had a great time... I should have joined ya'll... Sorry, Maybe next time.

Professional Photo Shoot

2005-10-25T15:25:00.000-05:00

Well It was not really a professional photo shoot,,, but it worked

S just had her 36th Birthday on the 17th and for her birthday I had given her a scrap book photo album and had hoped to get some photo's of us to put in it before her birthday but as usual "we were always too busy" so the gift came empty, NO PHOTO'S...
Well Saturday we attended the 2nd funeral for the week. After the funeral we went to my sisters house (she takes wonderful photo's) I asked her to take some photos of S and I cause, well again"We're never promised tomorrow" and I wanted some photo's!!
They turned out so great...
If I knew how to attach I would, BUT!!!
I am so proud of our photo's and will always cherish them!!!
We are hoping to get some more done soon.

We are never promised tomorrow

2005-10-18T11:02:00.000-05:00

This last week has been kinda crazy. Saturday, S and I spent the afternoon together but that evening got some bad news that one of class mates, Wendy Rawls, was found dead in her home, she was 36, married with a 7 year old and a 10 month old.. WOW right,
to keep the story line going, my cousin had their baby and she was not breathing at birth, her cord was wrapped around her neck,,she is in ICU but doing well, the S's Dad was put back in the hospital for complications to his surgery a couple of weeks ago.
and now to top it all off last night ANOTHER CLASS MATE was killed in an auto accident, he was also 36 and left behind a wife and two children. His name was Dustin Roper.
You know we get up ever day and automatically breath air, but we really never know when that air is going to be taken from us, we can really do no more than "Live one day at a time"
We are too young for this many deaths!! I remember when we were teenagers and were invincable, would live for ever!!! WOW what a reality check

We are never promised tomorrow

Trying not to be bitter

2005-10-13T11:20:00.000-05:00

OK, Me and the hubby had a talk and I told him how I felt AGAIN, about his obsession with hunting season. And I told him that I was gonna try to not be so bitter.... But buddy you better bet when hunting season is over he will be in HIGH GEAR finishing my house... He has completely quite on the remodeling and it looks horrible!! I cant stand it.. I actually told him that if he did not get it done I could find someone that could!!! I thought a threat might help!!!

It's an Obsession

2005-10-10T09:07:00.000-05:00

Hey, I know its been a while,,, been pretty busy.
I got a question!
Do your men Hunt??
Well mine does and it's not just hunting it's an obsession. I tell you what, this is my 14th hunting season and every year that rolls around I wonder if i can make it thru another one. My hubby is Obsessed with it.. he is like a horse with binders on and that all he can see. Hunting season officially started October 1st. But to prepare for is annual event it took 3 weeks prior to the event. So you see by the time hunting season really gets going I AM SICK OF IT!!! for 5 weeks now my hubby has not been home a night before 9 or 10 pm, we dont get to bed until 12 or 1 am. and up before day light! Then for the past two weekends I have been :Home Alone: Everyone says go out and visit, or go to Monroe or Shop,,, well you gotta burn gas to go and visit, you gotta have money to go shop!!! So I wind up sitting at home ALONE!!
It would not be bad if he did it in moderation, BUT< Oh No not by hubby,, anything that he does he does it all heart and soul!!110% all the way... Some of you may say that is a good quality in a man, well it would be in my eyes too, if, while he is giving that 110% he did not have those darn horse blinders on!! He tends to forget about everyone and everything during hunting season!!!
"Dear Lord" Please let me make it thru yet another hunting season, please give me to will to ease my resentful anger and be more polite to my husband instead of angery and lonley!"
Ah, maybe that will help

Hey B ,,, You out there!

2005-09-26T13:34:00.000-05:00

Do you ever get the Monday morning blues

2005-09-26T13:10:00.000-05:00

I have the Monday morning blues and a major case of the "I dont want to's"!!!I am in a cranky mood!!!

This weekend was a gloomy weekend with Rita doing her thang!! I was irritated cause I had limbs and leaves down in my yard and a door that broke on our shop (that we fixed in 10 minutes) And then come to find out that my best friend was hit pretty hard that did a great bit of damage to her roof, and out side her home!! And here I was irritated!!

My son calls before 9am to tell me that he has locked his keys in his truck on campus , 30 miles away and no spare. thank goodness he calls back and says he got in!! then by 10am my daughter is calling saying she has a spider bite... IT"S NOT A SPIDER BITE!!, but i dont want to look like a bad mother and not go and check on her.. so I take her to the doctor, and ITS NOT A SPIDER BITE,, imagine that!! but it was time for her 12 year old tetnus shot, so i said GIVE IT TO HER!!! I know that is mean, but i was very irritated, this is the 5 time that i have had to go to the school in the 1st 6 weeks of school, two belly aches, one head ache, poision ivey and now a "spider bite" which is probably a skeeter bite!!! OK OK that is enough, I probably did not go to the elem. school last year for a total of 5 times all year!!!!
So this ruins my day, now i get no lunch break it is 1:30 and i have had cheeto's for lunch!! my head is hurting my back is burning, from sitting her reading reports and I just WANT TO GO HOME AND GET BACK IN THE BED!
And I know when i get home, i gotta fold some clothes, cook super, have a heart to heart with Kbug,, about this calling from school, tend to the hubby,, blah blah,... no wonder women run away!!

I GOT MY MEDS

2005-09-19T13:46:00.000-05:00

Oh my Gosh, let me tell you
I blogged earlier about getting some meds for a sinus headache,, well 3 department stored and 6 convient stores later

I FOUND IT!!

BC Alergy and Sinus...

They had two packs, I bought both. S was with me so I made her sign for them, I just signed for those darn sudafeds that did NOTHING for me!!!!

Really I should not have cared, had anyone from drug enforcement come a knocking on my door,,, I would have sent them down the road where they actaully deal! hahah

But I feel much better now
