::Momma Brag Moment::

2009-03-27T09:08:00.000-04:00

Ok sooo...I must take a moment to brag on my kiddos!!
They are growing into such cool dudes!
Both boys GOT STRAIGHT A'S!!! WOOHOOO Two kids with 4.0 gpa.
HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN? LOL

I tell ya, They are smart buggers..and boy do they come up with the funniest shit too..lol

Oh and my 12 yr old Josh, was just in the paper, again, for another Principals award!!
Both boys have been in their a few times..I will have to scan the photos for you guys!

And one of my most proudest Momma moments, Josh, all on his own too, has decided to take on the challenge of Spanish 1 for HS credit next year in 8th grade!!!
The kids going into 8th grade next year get the option of this..The requirements are that you must have a 3.0 GPA and an A in Spanish right now..Which Josh has both!!

He filled out the application all by himself and wrote some great paragraphs about why he would be good for this class and how he will achieve to do well in it.

YAAY!! GO JOSH!! We are all SOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU BUDDY!!!

Thanks so much for letting me take a moment to brag on my boys!!!

Chris Brown removes himself from KCA nominations...

2009-03-11T14:41:00.002-04:00

TMZ.COM SAYS.........................

Chris Brown is officially letting Nickelodeon off the hook, and taking himself off the list of nominees at the upcoming Kids' Choice Awards.

In a statement, his rep says:
"Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song.Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated. While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so."

***********
Good to see him doing the right thing for once!!

Please Sign This Petition!!

2009-03-11T13:05:00.002-04:00

Please sign THIS petition to have Chris Brown removed from the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards!!

As a parent I feel I must do my part to show my children right from wrong and that hitting women, or anyone, is not right and if you do there should be consequences!

As someone that survived domestic violence, I feel I should stand up for women everywhere that are to afraid to do it themselves!!

So please help me by signing THIS petition!!

Thanks so much!

2008-11-07T12:00:00.003-05:00

A British pilot who lost his sight after suffering a stroke mid-flight from Scotland to Essex was talked through a safe landing by a crew of Royal Air Force pilots sent to his aid, The Daily Mail reported Friday.

Jim O'Neill, 65, put out a mayday call after a suspected stroke cause blood to put pressure on his optic nerves, blinding him. A Royal Air Force team was scrambled to guide the two-seat Cessna to safety, The Mail reported.

With help from air traffic controllers O'Neill managed to land the plane on his fourth attempt.
"I should not be alive. I owe my life — and those of dozens of people I could have crash-landed on — to the RAF," O'Neill told The Mail from his hospital bed on Thursday. "It was terrifying. Suddenly I couldn't see the dials in front of me."

RAF Captain Mark Hopkins told The Mail, "The royal Air Force has the best pilots and air traffic controllers in the world. This team effort from Linton-on-Ouse lives up to its reputation. Shepherding aircraft in this way is something we do from time to time, but this is a very strange case."

I just sat and watched some idiot on the ledge of an apt. building for the last 2 and a half hrs at foxnews.com ..LMAO

Why? I dont know why but I cleaned the living room, did two loads of dishes, and had to exit and reopen my browser twice and dude was still there on that ledge.

Then as two cops are gliding down the building like Spidermen to save this guy, THEY CUT OFF THE LIVE FEED....LMAO

So I turn on fox news on tv and they said he just stabbed his wife who is in critical condition, and they got him in custody now..

I watched that long for them to cut it off at the end.. What a waste of time..LOL

Dumb Criminal Of The Week Is.....

2008-11-05T20:04:00.001-05:00

If you’re being tried for auto theft, the last thing you should do is give prosecutors the evidence they need to convict you and even though driving another stolen car to court isn’t inadmissible, it doesn’t help.

That’s just what happened, according to the AP. He was already charged with stealing a $125,000 Porsche, so when he showed up to court in a fancy, expensive Lexus, police were naturally suspicious.

I guess he figured a Lexus was less obvious. LOL

The stolen vehicle also had several Yorkshire terriers in it, so not only did he get slapped with another vehicle theft charge but he also got slapped with an animal cruelty charge.

Remembering Shawn Loescher

2008-11-05T14:02:00.003-05:00

My Cousin Shawn passed away Friday Sept. 5 2008 at 11:15 am He was 23 years old.

He was taken off of life support at midnight the night before and fought almost 12 long hard hours!
Shawn had been in critical condition since the car he was in crashed into a tree August 25.

17-year-old David Jacobson from Osseo Wi. was driving that car on a country road south of Eau Claire. He told deputies he was going between 90 and 100 miles an hour when he came over a hill, lost control and hit some trees. He also told them he had been drinking.
The sheriff's department says it looked like Jacobson was trying to 'jump hills' with his car

Jacobson is charged with four felonies including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle. 19-year-old Michael Hiatt who was also in the car died at the scene. Shawn Loescher was airlifted that night.

And as if this wasn't bad enough....

Teen Driver Charged With Drinking Before Double Fatal Crash Arrested For Drinking Again....
Yes he was seen at a house party by the other boy that dieds sister so she called police.. Part of his bail was 10 pm curfew and NO drinking well it was 10:06 pm and the sister knew he had a curfew so she called and he was found hiding behind a couch..So now he is also charged with bail jumping...

I made the montage on the side bar of my blog for Shawn!

BOTH her parents are dead and you bring this up now, and while your doing it your pretty much laughing in her face...OMG I AM SO LIVID...

My poor Momma is soo hurt and upset by all of this..She says she has proof, yadayada supposedly my great aunt who lives in the old folks place my aunt works at is the one who told this to my aunt.. She just hurt my mom more than anyone ever did, The man is dead and gone and there was no need for my aunt to do what she did int he way she did it and say the things she said to my mother...

SOOOOOOOO I emailed her, I know I know but I can't sit by and watch her do this to my mother without her knowing how fucking wrong it was what she did.

Anyway...here is a copy of the email I sent her.. I read it to my sisters over the phone and they wanted their names added to it at the end of the email...What do you think? Would you have done the same?
*************
Aunt Rosie..
I just wanted to write to you and ask you how you could do what you did to my mom?You had no right to do what you did the way you did it, and on the anniversary of his death too. You didn't just change her life by saying what you did you but changed ours too.
If you were a sister that wanted to show you cared about her then you would of called her and asked to get together and sit down and talk like sisters would. Instead what you did was pretty much laugh in her face. That is just sick. And to make a comment about "Maybe that is why he was so mean to you" WOW...You dont think that all the years she had to deal with that hurt her enough? You don't think that maybe all these years she thought about how she was pretty much singled out in the abuse dept. from him anyways?
If you honestly sat and thought about it, if this was you would you want it brought to you the way you brought this to my mother. I just can't sit by and not say anything, how you did this was very very wrong. You just hurt her more than anyone ever has. You rarely ever call her and when you do it is to rub in her face that your dad is not her dad, again that is sick. The man is dead did you really find it important to do that?
I really do hope that you feel atleast a little sad about what you did and how you did it, and the things you said to her.
And I wont even go into the fact that because your other sister wasn't the sister you wanted her to be you couldn't even attend her oldest sons funeral. Did you even call her? I really hope you did. I am pretty positive that no matter how YOU were treated or how YOU treated your sister she would of been there for you if you were in her situation. I myself can never forget or forgive what you did to my Mother.You really showed how much you care for her and this family.

2008-10-06T12:28:00.002-04:00

Well...My boys are older than that last time I blogged. As your kiddos are too, I hope to hear updates on everyone soon. It is almost Winter, the time for staying in with coffee and blogging your lil' hearts out :)

Sonderful is 12 and in 7th grade.
And doing wonderful and awesome in school, as usual :)
Straight A's on his interm he just recieved. He has made alot of new friends over the Summer and since school started. He is rarely ever home anymore, he is off running almost everyday till 8 pm. And I think he is starting to notice girls.. SIGH!!! There is one that hangs around from time to time..lol

As for Sonshine, he is 7 and in 2nd grade.
He is really enjoying school this year. This is the first year that he is totally confident in himself.
He is reading and doing math like a champ. And his speech problems, HA Goodbye to that..LOL
He is non stop running too, he has two best friends that are twins across the street. There aren't that many boys his age in the neighborhood.
But he did just join Cubscouts, so that will be fun since he has many friends at school, they just don't live bike riding distance..lol

As for B, he is now working at a normal 8-4:30(goes to 5 in Spring) job. He works at the same place as my Stepdad and Brother. Finally a job with ins. and the best part of that is IT IS FREE!
Ofcourse we have to pay when we go to the docs etc.,but nothing gets taken out of his WEEKLY checks..And every Christmas they get a great bonus, that goes up every year!
Every year your vaca days go up...when he gets his yr mark he will get a weeks vacation time!! And then each year it goes up one week...
I have been wanting him to do this for SOOOOO Long and finally one day the opportunity came up where he could not turn it down..

As for me, I still have my 'moments' but all in all I am good..
My boys are growing up and life is moving on.......
I will go back to H&R Block in Jan. I am looking forward to that.. Last April when H&R Block was done I worked at a nursery doing super easy plant stuff until school started.
Then it was time to get the boys ready and settled in..Now that we have done that I have started babysitting M-F Her name is Taylor and she is 4 and so so so sweet.
I am also taking tax prep classes.. ONLY 2 MORE CHAPTERS TILL THE FINAL EXAM!!!!
I am super excited about this.. If I pass it means PAY RAISE AND JOB SECURITY!!!
I am doing really well, boy are there alot of big words in tax shit..LOL
But Mom and I are enjoying it.... And it is actually kind of fun.

I have been scrapping on and off...No one around here does it, and my one friend that is really into it is few cities over and our kids fight the whole time they are together..lol So we can't really do much till they are asleep..and I dont put mine to bed early on weekends so that doesnt help much..lol And it is SUPER Boring doing it alone..But I will post pics of ones I have done... I am slowing 'finding my groove' as I was once told I would find.

Hmm...What else is new...
Oh well we recently lost a family member my cousin Shawn. My siblings,my Mom and my StepDad all went to WI for his funeral.
But when one life is lost another is born..My Sister Hilary just found out she is having her THIRD lil Princess...She hasnt picked a forsure name yet but I will let you know when she does...

Oh and my other Sis Crystal scored a 650 on her GED TEST!! WOO HOO WTG Sis I knew you could do it!! She is supposed to get National Recognition, I will let you know what develops from that....

Hmmm I think that about covers everything... Hope to hear from everyone soon!!

::Anyone still out there?::

2008-10-06T09:47:00.002-04:00

Happy New Year Friends!!
I hope 2007 started off great for everyone!!
What did everyone do?
We didn't do much..

I worked till 8, then we hung at home and played games with the boys..my nephew Justin was over too..I was kind of hoping to get to go out somewhere but it didn't happen.. Oh well.. I guess I am usedd to being home now..I haven't been 'out out' in months...

Anyhoo we hung here the boys had Daddy's homemade champange (white grape juice and 7 up)
And I napped out for a bit till 10 till midnight then we watched the ball drop and blew off our blowers and popped our poppers..I bet the neighbors loved us..LOL Then soon after I went to bed..LOL WOOT..Happy New Year me...HAHAHA

And today my nephew's dad took the boys with them... But now we have to go get Sonshine he doesn't want to stay... soon as B gets home from the store...He don't even know yet..LOL
My Mom and step Dad stopped over and visited a bit, we laughed and watched funny pranks on youtube..lol
Brian made me a great dinner!! We will go get Sonshine and come home and I am sinking into some coffee, pumpkin roll and some ER BABY!!!!!!

Have a great night gang!!

::Our Christmas Pt. 4::

2006-12-27T00:38:00.000-05:00

Sorry Blogger is not letting me upload that many in a post..LOL
*****

Couldn't find a pogo stick but a pogo ball was a GREAT replacement!
And we felt Sonshine was to young yet for a skateboard,which he asked for, The Spidey scooter was a GREAT replacement..
Me with my goodies... All my gifts were soo thoughtful!! Sonshine got me the Tinkerbell calendar...he totally remembered I love her, and when I opened it he said,"now you can write down the days you work" AWW SO thoughtful!

Sonderful got me the MHC book! He remembered she is one of my faves..and it is a Christmas book..AWW SOO Thoughtful...And Bri knows I love ER..and my sweater is soo warm and comfy!

::Our Christmas Pt. 3::

2006-12-27T00:28:00.000-05:00

::Our Christmas Pt. 2::

2006-12-27T00:23:00.000-05:00

After Santa stopped by..The purple stocking is Sonshine and blue is Sonderful's
'Santa ate here' LOL This is his not he left.. The boys wrote him a note asking him to hide the pickle in the tree so the boys could find it in the morning and whoever does gets to open the first gift.. Sonshine got it!!

And what fun is it playing Santa if you can't have a little bit of 'evil' fun

I also now have to work 7am - 5 or 6 pm on Christmas eve but it is more money and brownie points for offering..

::Work!!::

2006-12-09T21:37:00.000-05:00

I LOVE IT!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY JOB!! I am soooo thankful to have it...
I get a paycheck every week(Though I have yet to have one over 50 dollars..LOL), a few hrs a week out of the house,and at times MANY MANY minutes of nothing but silence..We have slow moments...LOL :) I couldn't of asked for anything better!
I just wish i drove, I had a chance to pick up hrs for good, pretty much all week if I wanted but there is no way I can at the moment so they hired someone else and got rid of the other chick that was there, apparently she was stealing..but when my friend goes back to her 'normal' job I will have her Saturdays, I filled in for her today.
Aaawell... I just wanted to share..LOL
I LOVE MY JOB :)

::Thursday Musings::

2006-12-07T09:19:00.000-05:00

Hmm Musings is that the right word to use?

Edited to add:: HURRAY Score one for Team Ali I might be smart after all..I did use the right word,It didn't sound or look right so I had to go check...LOL
mus·ing (myzng) Pronunciation Key adj.
Deep in thought; contemplative.n.
Contemplation; meditation.
A product of contemplation; a thought. “an elegant tapestry of quotations, musings, aphorisms, and autobiographical reflections” (James Atlas).

Holla!! Anyhoo how is everyone today? I hope this finds you all well!
Today did NOT start off on a good note...I had NO water or Coffee to drink this morning..UH OH
Not a way to make Mama start off her day..LOL Good thing my Husband wouldn't let me go without either and ran down and got me both :)

Speaking of my Husband, I believe he was on the news yesterday, Well, My Step Dad believes he saw him .. Brian has to stand outside to smoke at work..WELL
Starting today THIS happens, and the news was outside of B's work the other day doing a story, but when we watched a clip on the website we didn't see him. But it might not be the exact clip they show ON the news...

It's funny how many times a person can be on the news and you don't ever really think about it to much..lol Brian has been on the news a few times over his lifetime, for highschool football, for going to Russia, for somethings around his old neighborhood and now this...And I too have been on the news a few times for different things to over the years. Pretty neat!

So the smoking ban starts here in Morrisland no later then Jan. 1st!!!
By then it is nice and cold and should be enough to say 'EFF That, I ain't goin outside to smoke..lol'

I am tired of smoking...I am tired of the smell...I am tired of the cost...I am tired of the way it makes me feel... And ofcourse FOR MY BOYS! ALL enough reasons to quit...
It's bad enough for the last 7 years I haven't been able to breath right out of my nose,
(due to the *DV I endured), and I wake up EVERY morning stuffy as hell,but for the last couple of months I have been having some major problems with my chest and my breathing and winter is NOT helping. I literally feel sick and tired everyday and it is starting to affect my family. That means it is time to stop!

So soon I will, I won't be able to smoke inside my work after Jan. 1st anways thanks to the statewide smoking ban. I am all for the smoking ban in resturants and stuff like that, BUT I am kind of pissed that you won't be able to smoke in bars, and places like Morton's, in the article I linked to above, where people come there just for that 'after dinner cigar', it just isn't right.
How come smokers have to ALWAYS accomodate to nonsmokers but they never have to accomodate smokers, ya know...just doesn't seem very fair to me!

AHH Listen to me just babble on..I just love being able to just ramble on and on on..LOL
Well today is Thursday, I have to look up and make sure my shows are all on tonight! Payday is tonight at midnight..I am supposed to get my layaway out today and I am praying I will be able to get out tomorrow without losing it and having to go through and get it all again..ugh

This weekend is my first 2 day weekend at work, I work Sat. 1:30-9 and Sunday noon-8
I really really wish I could take on more hrs cause I believe they are getting rid of the young chick that works days, but without me driving it just isn't possible.. :(
But I have the chance to say ya give me more hrs if I could, and they would rather give them to either me or friend Laurie,but she is leaving soon anyway so that would be me getting them..totally blows!! And I won't be able to take on Fridays now because of transportation oh well can't dwell on it right.. I got Saturdays and Sundays....

The boys have a birthday party this weekend to go to and Sonderful goes on a field trip tomorrow to the Allen Theater to see The Nutcracker
I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!! I want to see The Nutcracker so badly! I danced in a version of it in 4th grade and have been obsessed ever since..LOL

Oh and one more thing, I HATE HATE HATE THAT I SWITCHED OVER TO BETA..I am soooo disappointed in it and I hate that I have to sign in all the time, UGH I wish I could switch back!!!!

::Snow Day::

2006-12-05T14:59:00.000-05:00

Today was a snow day for most schools!
Most of this snow fell the night before last, but more was added lastnight and today!!

::New cut::

2006-11-24T17:06:00.000-05:00

ok so for those that don't know I had a horrible horrible knotted up dreadlock thing on my head..LOL Its been there a week or so and I have tried and tried to get but couldn't...payday came so I decided to go and get it fixed before I cut it out myself... I got a cut and style too...
Whattya think??
Sorry you ladies at MO have seen these but some that come here are not at MO!

::So much...::

2006-11-19T22:30:00.000-05:00

Hi ya friends!!
SOOOO How was everyone's weekend? Ours was good!!
A few exciting things to mention!

My 10 yr old nephew Justin shot his first deer yesterday..
His Dad and the crew pushed it to him but he was the one that shot it and got it down, it started to try to crawl away and those that know about hunting know that sometimes if a shot deer gets up you have to follow them and they can go for miles and sometimes you lose them so his Dad shot it dead before it could get away but Justin IS the one that got him and all by himself too!!

A HUGE HUGE 8 PT BUCK!!! WOOHOO Go Justin!! His dad is gonna have it mounted for him and it's gonna cost close to 400 dollars yes it is that big the suckers neck shooo THICK..LOL Hopefully I will get some pics soon it was nice and he was sooo proud!!!
So today they had to get it cut up before my nephew headed back home.. So Sonderful got to go with them his first time experiencing that and actually being a part of it so he got to bring some deer meat home.. Bri cooked up a steak for each of the boys and Sonderful ended up eating both of them..LOL We do have some more so they are happy... I think they will eat deer all week...
And neither B or I eat it...LOL Well B WILL from time to time but not I....
***************

Exciting thing part 2........... I HAVE A JOB IF I WANT IT!!!!!! It is only pt and one or two days a week for now but it could be more after Jan., and will make me 50 bucks or so a day, when a friend of mine goes back to her regular job..She is currently on maternity leave from her 'real' job and working at a gas station pt and she does not want to work on Sunday's there anymore so I can have her Sunday's and maybe Saturdays and then all her other days when she quits and goes back to work in Jan...
I have been thinking about it and I think I will take it! I know how to do the gas things and the lottery machine all that jazz...I am just so nervous, since it has been over 6yrs since my last job.. I don't want to screw up , or screw up my friends name there etc..kwim... Just nerves...

Brian told me to do what I want, he doesn't care either way as long as I am happy about my choice...We could use the money, I could use a few hrs away from here... So I will think about it some more and let her know in a day or two..Ofcourse he is trying to get me to take it because he knows I would do great at it and he knows that I really really need a few hrs away ...and 8 hrs every sunday is surely away from here..LOL But he doesn't want me to feel that he is pushing me to do something... AWWWW he really is great ain't he :)
**********

Exciting pt 3..... YAAAAAAA I got to see my Jacalantern......HEHEHE My new niece Jacalynn is just so precious and tiny in person...I wanted to sneak her under my coat and take her away with me..HEHE I am sooo happy I got to finally 'meet' her!!

My mom had a great time on Saturday night!! I got her some funny gifts....My cake turned out sooo yummy!!

On a sad note... I think I will be losing a big chunk of hair.. I have no other choice but to cut out my horrible horrible 'dreaded' knot in my hair..OMG It is so bad... I would tell my mom and sisters and they kept saying oh we can get it out blah blah blah..I'm like "um, you have not seen it yet" And sure as shit soon as they did they were like '"omg, I dont' think that will ever come out" AHHHHHH NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!
So I don't know what to do... I don't have the money until Friday to get it done at a salon IF they can even save any of it... :(

Just because......

2006-11-17T18:41:00.000-05:00

WOOOHOO GO OSU!! Beat Michigan on Saturday!!

Well we will be heading out tomy Moms not sure yet if I am staying or not.. I don't feel super great so we will see!!

If I don't blog much over the weekend I hope everyone has a great one!!

Hugs!!

::Water--A method of torture::

2006-11-16T12:53:00.000-05:00

Water isn't it a method of torture..DRIP...DRIP...DRIP..
Ya it can be soothing at times too...but alot of drips and drops and sounds gets to ya after a bit...

I live with the torture daily and it I seriously feel the sound of it all is really starting to get to me..It is so weird but sucks really bad....

Our kitchen sink drips all the time, the two fish tanks and every time it rains my livingroom drips..UGH It was raining so long lastnight thats all I could hear while sleeping was the livingroom dripping in a bucket..I JUST WANT TO SCREAM!!!
I literally am going insane I think! Honest to God this place is making me so miserable I am going insane

::SHOO..Got a bit done::

2006-11-15T18:00:00.000-05:00

YAAY!! I got to throw some things in layaway today before Walmart gets rid of it!
I spent about 170 give or a take a few more...mostly on Sonshine though.. Sonderful is just to old for toys and such...So it looks like I will be looking for video games and other electronic things for him... Also he wants a telescope and a rocket...both I bet they have up the road for not to much!!

Things have just been crappy here lately even the weather sucks..LOL
So I just been blah.. I hope all is well with everyone!!

Congrats to Tracy(Raiza) and Gary on FINALLY reaching a settlement!! Now it is time to relax a bit huh..LOL Have fun fixing the house and spending your doe..LOL :)

::Happy Happy Birthday Princess::

2006-11-11T12:08:00.000-05:00

AWW Java's Princess turns 6 today!!
Happy Birthday big girl!!

::AWW Just So Handsome::

2006-11-10T00:34:00.000-05:00

My boys! Picture day was this week so ofcourse it was time for haircuts!
And they wanted Daddy to do them so here they are!!
SIGH They are just growing way to fast!!

::Talk, Talk, Talk.. ::

2006-11-08T22:48:00.000-05:00

I am sick and tired of talk!!
That is all everyone seems to do anymore..

Everyone just loves to talk......

about how much better it would be for us in a house and not a the small ass trailer... Ya know, I never really thought of this place as small...Damn whattya know 4 people would fit better and be happier in a house..I would never of thunk that shit..IDIOTS!!

About this house that is up for sale..Rent to own and I guess the owner will finance...
Ya ok..there are others in line, with way better credit I am sure, and we are NOT ready to get out of here like that.. It's not like we can just say ok we got a house, see ya later trailer..UM No we have to move it off this lot etc when we go to move... It is going to cost some money to move and we need to plan things and work on things before we move out...It's not like I wanna be here cause sure as shit I don't want to be...I wanted to be outta here last year or two...BUT STOP TRYING TO GET US INTO THIS HOUSE.........GRRRRRRRRRRR

And the best one of all..Comes from my Husband....
He is just now realizing that he needs to let ME take care of our finances..He just can't do it..plain and simple.. I can and I will be from now...Thanks for wisening up young grasshopper, Maybe NOW we can get our shit together huh!
And he came home from work yesterday to tell me that he is appliying for a job he is PERFECT for... Well I thought he was perfect for the job he has at the moment,but I guess this one sounds better.... So he is putting in for it today.........But there is something else.........
.
.
.
..
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
..
IT'S IN TEXAS!!
They will pay to relocate and all if he were to get it....

So as you can see people just love to talk talk talk about what me and my family should do, What we need to do etc.... Well just so everyone is clear, I know what I must do for my family... I know what needs done to keep my family safe, happy,healthy and not living in a cardboard box, I just need the help of my spouse!

I just wish the people around me that keep doing this would just stop!
It hurts me... It hurts me to know that we can't afford to get a nicer/bigger place..
It hurts me to see so many doing way better than us...
It hurts me to know that so many people around me think they know what we can and can't do..
It hurts me knowing that so many people are or have talked about me and my family to so many others in the family just for the point of gossip!
And I don't think I am whining, I believe the above would hurt or upset anyone...

You don't think I know that we have f***ed up over the last few years.. You dont think I know this place is to small for us, You dont think I look at the mess everyday and get upset because there is literally not enough room for us and our stuff here any longer and there is NOTHING I can do about that!!

You don't think I am racking my brain EVERY SINGLE day trying to figure out our life and put it back on track...

::Happy November Friends::

2006-11-03T10:03:00.000-05:00

Well chop me up and throw me in the fireplace! It is a blizzard out!! We have a good few inches of snow this morning!!

Sooooooooo..... What's been happening? Anyone else with snow??..
Blue,Java, Candlelady and Jaws I don't need to hear about how beautiful it is in the south now..LMAO

I have realized after already two bouts with snow that I am 29 years old and dare I admit it, I AM ENJOYING IT NOW! SIGH!!
It really is beautiful coming down and freshly on the ground..
Me of all people is supposed to hate the snow! But I guess when you live here your whole life and see you moving in the NOT so distant future I guess you learn to deal with it..
I just wasn't ready for it yet, but since this is the 3rd round I am used to it now..

Yesterday was my MIL's birthday!! Hope you had a super day Bonnie!!

Tonight I believe we are heading over to my friends house to hang out, let the kiddos play, shoot the shit, or the kids...LOL HA Kidding......
Her and her Hubby are trying trying trying like hell to get us to move into this house right down the road from them.. It would be a great opportunity, and it is an adorable house but I doubt it is possible..But they sure seem to think so... And it would be perfect for both her and I with babysitters etc.....

So he is really really wanting us to move on their road...lol Since they know the guy they seem to think we can get it if we want it, and he won't do a credit check..But I am not even thinking of trying, if my Husband feels we can and him and her hubby sort it out with the guy without me knowing more power to them because I hate getting my hopes up to be shattered..lol
But at this point it is all talk between us and our friends, I dont think her hubby has even talked to the guy that owns the house yet or anything like that... Just talk of pipe dreams..LOL

Speaking of pipe dreams, My aunt sold her house :(
I knew that was never gonna happen BUT one could only hold out hope right.. Specially cause ones Aunt lives in the GHETTO... I mean the SHITTYEST part of Cleveland So one was actually hoping that her aunt would wisen up and move back to her old house and just not sell it at all, and sell the new one! But now since my Aunt's old house is gone now that means she is really staying put in Cleveland and it is just not safe for her to be living where she is....She is single, Religous, and nieve(sp?) and hates to say no...not a good combo for where she lives :(

Lastnights tv was great!! I had a nice evening!
Today I am home alone and enjoying the shit out of it..LOL
Have a great day gang!!

::Whatta Weekend::

2006-10-29T20:43:00.000-05:00

Hey Gang!! How has everyone's weekend been?
Ours has been busy..LOL But fun!!
But we also have saddness.. Hubby's Uncle passed away on Friday :(
We were expecting it but ofcourse it is still sad! So many prayers to all my extended inlaws!!

The rest of the weekend was pretty good though!

Saturday the boys were at Aunt Nae's for Bowlergirl's Halloween party! All the kiddos looked awesome and the boys said they had a GREAT time!! Thanks so much for inviting them Aunt Nae!!
While they were over there we headed out to my Moms house and hung with her and my brother and step dad for a bit.. Then my Sister Crystal and her man and kids came into town from Southern Ohio.. So we got to visit.. Then Brian headed to pick up the boys so they got to see my nephew Justin and my neice Caitlynn!
My Mom let them stay the night with evryone last night so about midnight B and I headed home!

Got up about 9:30 this morning to head back out to my Moms house..SIGH So much car time this weekend..LOL Got there and found out that TOT in my brothers city was today so we went out to my brother's house with Caitylnn and Sonderful and Sonshine.. B and my Sister and her fiance took the boys out.. I got to sit this round of TOTing out since I have to do it Tuesday most likely w/OUT B so he went..HEHE Gotta love barders..LOL
We got to see my Dad, who is a roomate of my brothers, and his good friend from Southern Ohio who was in town..

My nephew Justin was a the Browns game!!
WHAT AN AWESOME GAME!! WOOOHOO GO BROWNIES!!!!!!

And after TOTing at my Brothers house we headed b ack to my Moms and had dinner and now we are home and the boys are watching Are We There Yet? And my niece Caitylnn is here with us tonight too!! This is her first time spending the night w/OUT her Mommy!! She is so fun!!
And I miss her so much so tomorrow will be a fun day!!

::It's Today, It's Today!::

2006-10-18T09:32:00.000-04:00

I am awaiting the phone call that tells me that Jacalynn Dawn is here!!!
I will let you know when she comes!!!

So I thought this was sooo cool.... We (our family) was hoping that Miss Jacalynn would be the 300 Millionth American!! It was supposed to happen this month, and I believe I heard on the news that it happened yesterday or the day before.. BUMMER If it did we missed it by 2 dang days.. Wouldn't that have been soo cool to have the 300 millionth American!

I am going to look more but I can't find anything about the 300 millionth person, no name or place or anything so maybe I am wrong,and it did not happen yet...
I will continue to search, Oh and it doesn't have to be by birth.. The person could arrive by birth, by oath as a legal immigrant, or by stealth with someone sneaking into history
(I have NO idea what it means that last part, by stealth?? ANYONE KNOW)

Sooooooo AHH I AM SO ANXIOUS... I am gonna try to get down to Soutern Ohio this weekend or next!!!

::Blah the black::

2006-10-17T13:04:00.000-04:00

I couldn't take it anymore..LOL
I am so not into black I guess... So how do you like the new look?
Ofcourse it will change again after Halloween..LOL
A HUGE THANK YOU TO JAVA FOR HELPING ME GET IT STRAIGHT!!!! I owe ya one!!

::Come, Sit, Relax, Grab a drink and Read..LOL::

2006-10-17T10:09:00.000-04:00

Ho Hum!! I just feel like gabbing.... So grab a drink, sit and relax.....

It's raining today...Thanks Candlelady!!!!! You said we would get it and sure as shit we have!! The wacky weather continues here in NE Ohio!
Oh did you all know we had our first snow fall, LOVELY right? Ya we did a few days ago, It didn't stick ofcourse, but it still snowed IN OCTOBER!!!!!
I believe the date of the earliest recorded snowfall is like 2 wks ago...BUT YEARS BACK ofcourse...So we almost broke that, we break alot of weather records here in Ohio...
Usually about this time we are getting Indian Summer and it is 70s..But not this month....

The boys still don't have their costumes..This week I think... Next payday is the 28th and that is pusing it a bit much on getting them then, so I have to get them here soon...They have changed their minds a few times so I will get a final decision from them soon.. I am hoping my friend's kiddos want to head out and ToT with us this year!

The kids finally got their invitations to Bowlergirl's Halloween Party! Their first one!!
I bet they will have tons of fun.. She is so cute...She didn't want to invite her older boy cousins cause she said they will be to scarey...HAHAHA I just love her to death, she cracks me up...

I have been working on my 'Christmas Wish Lists' for all of us... Basically it is me jotting down what I 'HOPE' to buy everyone this year.... The boys are growing up so fast..Sonderful needs AND wants so much and they are both into so many new things this year, more grown up things!!

I have also been pondering and decided I will call my step dad and ask him if he wants to put on a surprise bday party for my MOm she is going to be 50 next month and she threw my Dad a great one when he turned 50 so I wanna do that for her!! Sucks it has to be indoors since her bday is next month and his was August...but we will manage...

Not much has really changed lately.. Still here in our shithole shack with no money..HAHAHA
But I have been trying to get my mind wrapped around the thought of us actually getting caught up with our behind debts we have accumilated these past few months...And I hope we will...

Hubby is working so hard to keep us afloat he really really does deserve a break!
I would love for him to finally see that all his hard work is really for a reason!!
I love him and I am so glad to have that wonderful man in my life!! Same for my lil guys!!!

::Happy Friday The 13th!::

2006-10-13T09:17:00.000-04:00

Happy Friday the 13th friends!!!
Is today a lucky day for you? A bad day? or you just don't give a rats ass? LOL

Well today is always good luck for Hubby so I hope he has a great day today!!

There is no school today it is NEOTA day! So the boys had my friends little boy over lastnight.. Sonshine's first with a friend sleepover... Sonderful has had ONE before a few years ago..
They had tons of fun...But geeze no, school sleep in...UGH They were up before B's alarm..LOL

Mommy may have to nap later...LOL

Well NE Ohio had it's very first snowfall of the year..SIGH.... Yesterday it was flurrying all day practically.. And it was totally noticeable just didn't stick...UGH It is NOT even Halloween!
I thought I was gonna get a chance to enjoy FALL this season...They even say that is going up to high 50s ack IT JUST SNOWED...SIGH ...MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY SHEESH! LOL

Well I hope all is going well with everyone.. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday The 13th!

::8 days OR sooner!!::

2006-10-10T12:46:00.000-04:00

This year sucked so bad for them and I want to make it up by ending it nicely with nice things from us and Santa! HEHEH AND I started MY WISHlist.. LOL

He watched her grow up really..and it was so fun celebrating with her!!

And as for it being like a reunion, there were soooo many people from the bar there.. So many we had not seen in a long time but we missed so much!!
It was really fun!! And mmmm 7&7's !!!!!! Cept there was no 7 so it was BV...
Yep at weddings I'm a whiskey girl! I get that from my Grandma..LOL

Nae watched the boys for us.. I am so thankful I have her!!
MY other two sisters that would also watch my boys in a heartbeat like Nae, they live in Southern Ohio :(
I miss them so much!! But I am so thankful that I have Nae!!

I started feeling like total shit yesterday...all that beginning of flu like symtoms(sp?)
I finally was able to have Nyquil lastnight so I don't feel like I was hit by a truck this morning..But it will come in time..

Right now I am just enjoying my cup of coffee.. Sonshine has been iffy with a scratchy throat for the past few days but that cleared right up with some cough medicine... But Mommy can't take cough medicine unless it is pills...
But Mommy is rarely sick and when I do I get knocked the fuck out! LOL

::Age By Chocolate::

2006-09-23T17:42:00.000-04:00

Play along.. Get out pen and paper and add em up..FREAKY FREAKY!!
****************
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute...Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to> >have chocolate> >(more than once but less! than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator(Use the computer's calculator like me..LOL)

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 ....If you haven't, add 1755

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was the number of times you really want to eat Chocolate(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

2006-09-21T12:05:00.000-04:00

It's officially in my mind, fall!!! I love fall!! I love all the seasons for their own reasons!!
Summer is still my favorite because I am a water nut!!
But there is something about fall you have to love right!
I love fall for the colors, and smells and holidays, and NEW TV!!

Today is my favorite tv night!! I just wish The OC was back.. But I get to hang with Earl and be in The Office..LOL That I don't get to do anymore with it on at the same time as The OC..but that don't start till November!

So it starts... 7:30 I get my blanket and pillow and get all snug on the couch for tv.. I have to get my celebrity evening fix by watching ET @7:30..lol
And usually the boys are bathed and watch it with me or play in the their room till bed time.. But in the fall everythng is done by that time so I have all evening to just relax.

And in the fall I always get in the groove to make awesome dinners and bake bake bake!!
AHHH FALL!!!! Soon it will heater time....It has been soooo chilly here and Brian is dying to turn on the heat but NO I can't do it not yet that just means winter is coming!!!

::AHH Finally ME time::

2006-09-20T22:44:00.000-04:00

AHH!! Finally after doing doing doing and going going going and with Hubby starting his new job and us ALL getting situated and with a major problem on our shoulders(don't wanna get into it)Our poor Patrick being sick and gone now, AND A bout of depression hitting me............
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I HAVE HAD IT!! I AM POOPED!!
Finally I have a bit of quiet(besides the fish tank water, the dryer running and the sink dripping LOL), AND till I turn on some music nice and quiet I have a few moments to myself!!

The boys are nice and snug in their beds!
My Husband is off with a few of his friends for the one friends 30th birthday today!

So I am here finally getting a chance to relax and enjoy a few moments on the computer!!

Boy do I feel better though...... My house looks so nice!!
Still some to go but it looks much better...

For the past 2 days I have busted my ass to get this place together....
And buddy let me tell you when it is out of hand, it is hard to get back into shape alone!
Remember we live in a tiny 2 bdrm trailer and it really is not a big one... we have to much shit and no room for it... The ONLY closets are in the bdrms so they have to be used for storage and bdrm stuff.... And I admit, I am not the best housekeeper in the world, but I am not a pig... And I am not all that good at throwing away things..LOL ;)

But for instance we have no where to keep our sheets and pillow cases..So they sit on the couch or on a chair.. ,and every once in a while when I can't take to see them anymore, I put them on the bathroom counter... So they get washed often too..you know dust and all..LOL
BUT the bathroom is also small and I have to keep my towels and washcloths on the counter..sigh see so I have a small cluttered home and it is a PITA!! LOL
But a clean PITA..HAHAHA

Yesterday I got the bug in the ass that got me going(which was me being so embarrassed that Nae saw my home the way it looked the other day..ugh it was bad)..

So yesterday I cleaned the livingroom, Vac and deodorized(I am a compulsive deoderizer..lol) the carpet... Straightend, a chore in itself..LOL and pledged the computer desk..And straightend and pledged the tv(we have an old floor model that was once Nae's and My Grandmas)..And did a dishes and about 2 loads of laundry!

Today during the day I did another 2 loads of laundry and a ton of blankets.....
Vac and deoderized the boys carpet, straigtened out their dresser, and vac again in the livingroom and did the same with deoderizing in the hallway...
And made dinner...

Tonight I cleaned(on my hands and knees) the bathroom floor and cleaned the counters...
Did dinner dishes and cleaned off the table and mopped the kitchen floor...
Folded a TON of clothes that the boys put away, which means I had straighten their dresser again..LOL
And continued to wash and dry blankets.. Last one is about to go in the dryer after I hit publish post..LOL
Got Sonshine his bath going and got them off to bed...All while Hubby took an almost 2hr nap in the other room..GRRRRRR....LOL

So then he got up and off with his buddies and finally it is just me!! For a little while anyways, He is the DD so he is not drinking but he will still enjoy himself..He is not really into drinking anymore since I have known him, he got that out of his system..
He leaves that job to me ;) Which I have NOT fullfilled in a long time..LOL

So that was my day!! AHHH You as tired as I am?
And I have no nyquil BIG SIGH.... I hope I can sleep! If B calls by chance, I will have him stop and get me some.. It really is a needed thing for me...

And big hugs and prayers to my Mom!! Poor thing has kidney stones.. OUCH!!
B knows how she feels so he said prayers too..LOL

And I feel like redoing my myspace page now..LOL And my blog....lol

Hope you all have a wonderful night!!!
Hugs!!
