That I have set for myself AGAIN!!!!! But a more realistic date right now.....I'm actually seeing myself reach this date to STOP SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!! No drugs, no hypmnotist *however you spell it*, laying the sticks down for good!!!!

I'll not reveal my motivation, they know who they are, but since I so failed on the original date, this date, with much advise, much encouragement, and even MORE SUPPORT, I feel I can make this date. First day of spring, right after us "Irish" people "party", and NO MORE CANCER STICKS>........that is my date!!!!!!

Everyone wish me luck, more than that, wishes to Speedbump. As I'm sure he prays I'm not PMS'ing and craving all at the same time.......:lol.

I Yell Because I Care

Okay, yet again, my interest in "Irresistable Headlines" brings me to finding this post today.

Question: Isn't this like illegal???? If it isn't, I personally believe it should be!!!

Then I found this article and being the animal lover that I am ~ I say congradulations to the famiy in getting their long lost member!!!! I know I lost my Dustin, aka geratric dog, cocker spaniel, for about a month when I first moved home to my parents after my divorce. I was beside myself in grief of losing him until my brother walked in one afternoon with my dog in arms saying he found him in someone else's backyard chained up.

My first response was to take Dustin in my arms, crying, loving him then anger set in, someone chained my baby to a tree :wtf??????? Take me over there now...of course and obviously I'm not in jail still, my brother refused, but all was right in the world I had my baby back.

So anyways, unless you hear about how I spend my day cleaning, cooking and dealing with wild child Ms Prissy, this is as good a post as you get today :lol

I just found the articles interesting enough to share........

I'm A Luxury Few Can Afford

And the devil's spawns have moved into my house for warmth! And if today was not bad enough being in pretty much "lock down" with my famiy ~ we find out we have another front heading in tonight because God is really good at playing jokes on me!!!

Which means I'm still in lock down with the Spawn movement!!! For some reason, the cold weather makes the wildness alright permently in place around here, makes it worse. Prime example:

My daughter, who will be four in less than a week, decided she wanted some Kol-Aid. Yeah I can see you guys *shrugging* say yeah and....well how I came across this knowledge was when she walked into my bedroom where I was picking things up with the tupperware container filled with Kol-Aid, made her announcement and then LET GO OF IT!!!! Red Kol-Aid ALL OVER my walls, carpet, furniture and she turned and ran like a bat out of hell for safety!!!

So I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning carpet, walls, furniture and all that fun stuff with very little sleep while Speedbump was hiding out on a conference call ~ so I thought until I hear behind me ~ "What on earth are you doing?" Ahhh honey, I just had the sudden urge to clean carpet with all that sleep I got last night ~ :wtf does it look like I'm doing!!! His only response was "Damn you are in a bad mood today".

That was just ONE of the MANY issues that happened around the devils spawn den today and OHH YEAHHHH we get to do it all over again tomorrow!!! However, Speedbump figured that it was safer to try and take on the icy streets tomorrow and make his way to work.

Well I'm going to bed under MANY blankets, cuddling with my dogs and drifting into slumber world in hopes that tomorrow is a better day :smile.

My Husband Needs His Eyes Re-Checked Because He Still Does Not See Things My Way!!!

I've been reading this blog ever since "T" put me up here to tear up the blog world. I'm happy to say that the outcome of all this families tragedy is a positive one, however, he brings out great points of those less fortunate than their family.

Then as Speedbump and I are curled up in front of the fire this am, with both our children safely tucked in bed sleeping, I hear a song. If you aren't big country and western fans, you'll be lost on this one, however, it is a great song....

The title "The Impossible" by Joe Nichols!! It pretty much sums it all up!!

As a parent, the largest fear I have, is something happening to one of my children. It is my plight in life to protect them from the evils and evil people of this world the best way I possibly can, however, what does one do when a situation arises as in the blog mentioned above? That a person can lodge a complaint and without investigating snatch your children and place them into a foster care system.

Now don't get me wrong, there are some children, more than one's conscious mind wants to think, that need this kind of protection, but who protects the children that have been ripped from a good home while the parents are being investigated and thrown into Foster Care? Let's think about it, Foster Care is not the most "protected" surroundings known to man. Not ALL and probably if properly investigated not even HALF of the Foster Care takers are dangerous care givers. The majority of them, I have to believe, are wonderful, large hearted individuals, doing something encouraging and supportive for the less fortunate children. Yet, the Foster Care system is overloaded, even the social workers will tell you, Foster Care is, if can be helped, "unhealthy" for a child.

So when I read about people who have gone through this first hand my heart aches for those children. I couldn't imagine the nightmare those parents lived through, the sleepless nights, feeling of helplessness etc.

Then after reading all of that ~ reading about where a 6 year old child who was in Foster Care almost dies in the house, locked up in a room in the basement and left unattended for days on end. Where were the social workers checking on that poor child???? Note each state has different guidelines and some states are better than others, however, the system itself is failing the children.

I'd love to be able to fix this for the children, but all I can do is join forces with those who are trying to make life better for the "children" to PROTECT the children!!!

With all the talk of going to war and protecting other countries as well as our own, we have a war raging inside the USA that has been raging longer than the possibility of war, it is within our Child Protective System. There is no excuse for even ONE child to fall through the cracks and there is even LESS of an excuse for children whom are NOT being abused be removed from their parents and the safety of their home.

I've had to undergo investigation when my ex-husband's wife called in the troops on me. "Scarecrow" and I survived and were never separated and charges were filed against my ex-husband's wife for a false report. Yet, it leaves it's mark on the child. I had to explain what was going on and still try and not bash my ex-husband or his wife to a five year old. When I myself was spitting bullets inside myself that someone could do this to a child!!! I'm the one that pleaded with the court to drop the charges against her for the well being of my son. That does not make me a bigger person, that makes me a mother.

I've also had it threatened by a person that they'd call social services on me if I ever repeated information about her that I disagreed with in her court case. They were threats, obviously, but showed one's true colors and has been forbidden to come into my home EVER.

I would never call myself a GREAT parent, children don't come with instructions, I make mistakes, I have to eat crow, I show my children they are my life, I'm human and I mistakes. I have at times had to apologize to my children as I think children should know that parents also make mistakes but are also in tune to their feelings to apologize!!! I'm a very strict mother and I will not apologize for that ~ I think that more parents should demand that their children know how to behave in certain settings. Know when it is time to have fun and when it is time NOT to have fun. I was raised that way, all of my friends were raised that way, my husband was raised that way so why shouldn't I raise my children that way?

I make sure to know as much about my children's life and friends as "humanly" possible. I am very active in their life. To have the government question my love, devotion and beliefs as the government did in the state where ~e~ lives is unacceptable. My heart goes out to his family and what they have undergone and he has my unwaivering support. I just pray that not all states are practicing as they are in PA.

Maybe more people need to never understimate The Impossible!!! You'll have to hear the song to really understand the dymantics of what I'm so lacking in words to say.....

If I Can Be Only HALF The Parent My Daddy Was To Me, Then I Accomplished Something In My Life!

Shit, the weather must have fried what little blonde cells I had left!!!

Of all nights, the COLDEST NIGHT in Texas since I've lived here, my dog Bruno, aka Black Lab, has the worse seziure in ages. He has epelipsey *however you spell it*

The picture posted before is NOTHING compared to what it is like right now, where, mama takes him out on a leash, go ahead boys picture this, T-shirt, sweatpants *with holes*, socks and slippers!!!!!! Walk out my door, step into over my damn calf of sleet and ice...............can anyone say NIPPLE HARD????

I walk back inside, teeth chattering, cussing, I want to move AGAIN, to warm warm climate, with a raging fire *in the fireplace people*, a sweat jacket and demands of getting off the wet T-Shirt. Through chatter teeth, I state to my hubby, did I forget to mention the stupid fucker cops who were escorting some individual into the neighborhood.

He laughed and say well I'm sure your hard nipples caused for "arrest partol" obivously Andrew wasn't on duty......well yea..........he called earlier on his way home shit head.....Gawddddddddd MEN!!!!

Does this give you vivid detail of HOW COLD I FEEL RIGHT NOW??????????

Well according to the idioits who we call weather people, we were told, the whole DFW/Ft. Worth area would not see any accumulation from this front.......

*peeks again out my front door*.............REALLY???????????? I walked over to my neighbor's house, as he is a single father and I didn't see his car or any track marks earlier this evening, to check on the fam. The father was home, however, the son was ice'd in at a friend's house. I walked to his house from mine, stayed less than 5 minutes, there was no evidence I had even crossed the path of the two houses.

Not from snow, but from ice and sleet..........trust me I know, as crossing back to my house the shit went down my shirt.............COLDDDDDD is all I have to say......I HATE THE COLD................I'm protesting!!!!

Here is our "NO ACCUMULATION" at our house.............a picture speaks a thousand words don't ya think??????

I made Speedbump go take a pic of our street infront of our house to give you a slight view. We are having lightening, thunder, rain, sleet, and a very small mixture of snow........THIS IS TEXAS for crying out loud, you know as close to the heats of hell as one can get........:wtf?

Kill me NOW.....

Well he went to the Orthopedic Surgeon today ~ he has level 2 sprain on both sides of his ankle, several torn ligaments, but no torn joints as first thought. He now has a brace instead of the huge boot, so he can wear his own shoes. We have to have him undergo physical therapy, however, he will be able to play baseball after all, just not start it looks like.

~Shewwww~ what a relief!!!! When I picked him up from school today to take him to the doctor, he looked at me and said "I guess you knew what you were talking about Mom". YEAH THINK? Gezzzzzz!!!!

No matter how you wash it, tiz good news!!!

M Is For Mother NOT Maid

BRRRRRRRR it is colder than a witch's titty on Halloween night!!! :angry Only in Texas can you go one day wearing shorts to the next day can't find enough clothing to stay warm. I however was doing a very good job of it all nestled down in my blankets this morning UNTIL my black lab came running in the bedroom from outside, freezing curled up with me whining, *typical male* :smile sorry couldn't resist!!! And then to help get himself warm put that blistering cold nose on me!!! :wtf? No wonder I can't kick this cold and cough!!

Anyhoot, they are calling for SNOW :sad!!!! On days like today I normally hybernate, however, today is the Orthopedic Surgeon appointment with "Scarecrow" ~ wondering how I can convince Speedbump to do that one :smile.

Well just checkin' in ~ I must now go kill my Shar Pai ~ with all the rain that has been going on he has decided to take a mud bath in the back yard and decorate my freshly washed comforter with mud!!!! :angry So today will be spent doing MORE laundry and also now cleaning floors again and carpets from their mess!!! Ohhh to be young and irresponsible again!!!

"M" Is For Mother NOT Maid

Come have a :cocktail or two and talk the bartender, barely dressed :wink.

I'm a forutnate individual, yet a very UN fortunate individual, I have MANY life expereinces at my ripe ole age of 36 ~ mind you many are older than I am, however, it is amazing to me how they look to me for advise........call me "advise whore" okay :lol

In talking with many of my friends, they feel "inadequate" as women, to say the least, to me, personally, I find this HORRIFYING, as I only DREAM to be what these women offer in my life for just one day.

It takes a great deal for me to say this, as I don't "bond" well with anyone, I can count on one hand and still have extra fingers for the one's I'm talking about, FEMALE gender here okay alright already, men different story.......

The one's I can count on my fingers, and not even have to think of their names, the roll off the tip of my tongue, are TRUE FRIENDS, not fair weather friends, they are the one's that I have no problem meeting my parents, or calling my parents on a three way conversation and one or all are on the line with me and overwheleming my parents from all the voices, for my parents to state, "Jamie, must and obviously ignitiated this call".........

These women are the best women that only those out there wish could call friend..........I'm so lucky and even most of the times I don't even realize it........I love my girls........I'd lay my life down for my girls and their children.........I don't say that for many........

I'm truely a lucky woman, I have Speedbump, aka Shithead, aka Mr. Understanding, yet I also have Wobbie, Amy, Mama Kitty, T, L, Jen, Lori from NC and SuzyQ..................these women hold my heart and are what I THRIVE to be as a mother, a person, a most importantly a friend....

EVERY TIME I FIND MR. RIGHT MY HUSBAND SCARES HIM AWAY

Yes, this should be a good post :biggrin. If you aren't into long post, grab a :cocktail on the house and go the hell away :smile.....if you don't mind long post, still grab a :cocktail on the house, only one free one except for Dr. D, MadBull and MB's wife, there's are always on the house, basically because I can!!! ~T! always gets free :cocktail no questions asked and according to Speedbump free cock even though she isn't interested.........that is another post!!! :angry........L you take care of T and I'll kill Speed all problems solved.....NOWWWWWW to my post

I love the movie "Dirty Dancing".....basically because it is A: based in North Carolina, my stomping grounds, and B: that is how I learned how to dance along with shagging "YEAH BABY" the bump and grind going on, non of this, pierce my nose two step shit going on.......aka in laymen's terms 2-stepping...Texas dancing.......I am a control freak ~ fuck go figure ~ Scarlett O'Hare is my hero.......would explain why I just bought Gone With The Wind DVD........you know borderline social acceptance with a twist :lol

Ummmmm :cocktail anyone????

I'm just getting started.....Okay there is a line in the movie "Dirty Dancing" where Jennifer Gray is laying in bed with Patrick Swayze *OMG to be in her position or position"s" of my chosing :smile* where she ask the character, "How many women have you had?".....

Dr. D, I can so see you shaking you head on this one, saying "OMG YES, you women don't need to know this information, do WE ask you?" You would be correct, but only because, you guys can't handle it.....for men to have many women it is considered "A Stud" for women to have had many men it is considered "A Slut". Note the same letter of the alaphabelt :lol

Men couldn't handle it if women answered that question "truthfully", yet women are expected to be in all of all the talents they offer because they are experienced........blow jobs do not become Frosted Flakes Tony The Tiger GREAAAATTTTTTTTT without practice.........come on people.....think about it!!!! Those experiences only cum with pardon the "pun", with trial and error.

Then my memory travels back to a discussion I had with a "particular someone" in a cyber session who called on me to bail his ass out, because he brought up a swing from a bar that was built into the ceiling in the shower. I swear to Gawd I still almost pee my pants when talking about this one, however, it is a "had to be there" type situation, yet his wife, knowing him, almost pee's her pants also when I talk about because well basically she knows him. Sorry HAD to do it...........hands him a :cocktail on the house.....

Back to the movie "Dirty Dancing" I love to dance that way, Speedbump loves to see me dance that way when we are alone in the house, but when we are out in public and I'm putting a little more into the two step than is "required", he always whispers, honey, you've already caused people to look twice and drewl, we really want to get out of here together and at home not in jail, because I have to kill people. :wtf Then he looks around and says "That's okay you even have the cop on duty watching you and you're friends with him, we're okay". That is when I state, "Excuse me have you men not ever seen women dance without being lead around like a cattle herd???? Gezzz move out of the realm of Teaxs for crying out loud!!! I'm just dancing!!!"

I love the music from the movie "Dirty Dancing", the moves they dance into and out of, the memories on the beach doing the same dance moves enjoying life, BEFORE KIDS, single and free...........yeah it may be a "chick" flick, but OMG Patraick without a shirt and clothing doing the whole bump and grind......sipping long and hard on a :cocktail YEAH BABY I'd do him.....take off the shirt and I'll strip so fast you'll not have to blink and say "do ya wanna"......

I seriously had something else I wanted to post on a serious nature, however, I'm still trying to get my correct thought process going on that one. That will have to be another post another day, today, tonight, whatever time frame, is going to be FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN :banana

My Inner Child Is A Sassy Little Bitch Too

Good nite for now

Ugghhh what a blaahhhh day, plus it doesn't help that I still haven't kicked this crud I've only had for THREE MONTHS off and on :angry ~ do you feel sorry for me? :smile. Anyhoot...

In my cry of bordem I decided I'd do some surfing around the web for stupid stuff, yeah I know, blonde moments showing through, and I came across where you can match Zodiac signs and see if you and your mate are "compatable according the stars". Well I was bored and decided why not so I put mine and speedbumps out there and this is what they came up with. After 5 years of marriage I'm glad that it says we are compatable :lol. However, I seriously argue with the whole "Cancer sulks issue", I don't sulk I make sure my point is very well made rather you agree or not :wink.

Which again made me start thinking out of bordem of course, do dogs have horoscopes? If so where? I mean think about it there are pet psychics why not pet horoscopes so we can pay close attention to their "star alignment".

No people I don't believe this stuff, but like I said, I'm REALLY bored!!!

My Inner Child Is A Sassy Little Bitch Too

Don't really have a great deal to talk about except to let everyone know that I'm finally recovered :smile!!!

Let's see what has been going on ~ my son sprained his ankle day before yesterday at school, the same day began his basketball tournament. *If you think this starts to get ugly you'd be very correct*. I've come to the conclusion, that no matter how smart he is academically he has so missed the mark on common sense!!! Anyhoot ~ he comes inside the house after school takes some medication and lays down lifting his foot. I tell him that he can not play in the tournament that evening because even though he says it is feeling better he could do some seious damage to his ankle. And with select baseball starting NEXT WEEK he didn't want to do any damage to keep him on the bench since he is considered one of the star players on the team. He of course just gives me that blank stare ~ I reply you do hear and more importantly UNDERSTAND me correct? He just nods his head ~ rather he plays or not he has to go to the tournament so I take him on up to the school. Little Ms. Prissy Pot was sick so I had to stay home and Speedbump went to the game. I didn't speak to Speedbump or see him before the game since he went there straight from work so he is unaware of this new development.

Scarecrow *my son* and Speedbump show up after the game, Scarecrow on the verge of tears from pain, walks in my room collapses on my bed saying "Mama, I hurt and don't feel good". I grow concerned and go to tend to him and ask him what is wrong. *Amazing isn't it how big boys *my son is 6 1 at the age 14* turn into little babies when sick and hurt* Speedbump then walks in and says "I guess he is hurting since he turned his ankle pretty good during the game when he was taking over a rebound".

Needless to say motherly concern flew straight out the window when hearing that and I said "HE DID WHAT?", Scarecrow quickly was trying to make his get away from me and since he was immobilized I placed my hand on his shoulder and told him you are not going anywhere.

When Speedbump then found out that I had told him BEFORE the game he was NOT to play ~ well his night turned into hell from both parents. Speedbump gets an ice pack and tapes it on his ankle and elevates his foot. I begin cleaning the kitchen grumbling that sometimes I think I talk just to hear myself breath since they don't seem to listen to crap I have to say.....

So yesterday, Speedbump and Scarecrow have eye doctor appointments, after their appointments and they both getting contacts, Speedbump takes Scarecrow over to a friend who just so happens to be a Sports Trainer. Low and behold, Scarecrow has done some serious damage to his ankle. He has a high 3 sprain on both sides of his ankle, he also has torn the ligament in his growth joint, possibly broken it. And if not properly placed to be healed and as fast as he is growing it could cause his leg to grow wrong. GGGRRRR So we are trying to get him into the Orthopedic Surgeon today ~ they are trying to fit him in ~ so we can get an x-ray and go from there!

Other than all of that going on ~ Speedbump had a good birthday ~ however we were both so exhausted still yesterday when we got home from dinner we both collapsed and went fast to sleep when getting home. So I guess things are about to get busy around here ~ as Robin and the crew kept saying over the weekend ~ Never a dull moment around this house. :angry

Did You Take A Class On How To Piss Me Off?

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!! If I had "editing" prevliges on his site, I'd put a bit of a suprise there for everyone, but since I don't :angry, well hell just go visit his site and wish him well, he lives with me poor man he needs it. Hey at least I'm honest :notworthy *note me bowing to my own feet here :smile*

Any hoot, NAKKID TITTY HUGSSS to the Birthday boy!!! :kiss!!! :1luvu

Now to something funny ~ okay well speedbump found no humor in it, but hey I have a very warped sense of humor, and since it has been years ago since this happened, even HE can laugh about it now.

Let me set it up for you okay, I've made mention in a recent post that we met online, we talked for almost 5 years before exchanging pictures and meeting in real life, so well, we covered as much as words could cover in a realtionship without, knowing what they looked like and well the whole "hands on sexual content" too boot :woot!!!

There were several guys in the room that frequented the "room" that drove him NUTS in how they interacted with me, okay now looking back, I didn't help the situation either :smile, but I still stand firm in my INNOCENT part!!!

Yet, there was one one night, even though I was in North Carolina and he was in Texas, the miles were my friend, because if we lived close enough, well ummm, he'd have killed me!!!!!

Hubby and I were on the phone at our normal "T" hours talking about our day, sweet nothings, and him wanting to marry me and me laughing, *note: he asked me several times, each response was a large belly laugh and stating umm "yeah right"!!! My phone rang at all hours of the night during this time frame, usually it was, we'll refer to her as "bitch Laura in crisis mode" in short "BL" okay :smile. So Steve *for the record, hubby aka speedbump, and on a bad night shithead*, and I were talking away whispering sweet nothings to one another, I get a beep on my phone line, I was expecting BL to call and express this to Steve and say "hold on", I switch over.....

It was NOT "BL", it was the ONE of the men she lust after that for some odd reason had the hots for me and called non stop since he optained my phone number from a three way conversation with BL, myslef and him. His name was Castor Troy online, and Alabama lawyer, and okay a campbell soup mmmmm mmmmm yummy!!!!

He was drunk, calling me, and I made my fatal flaw, I told him, hang up call "BL" tell her that no matter what this is the story, SHE just called me as I was going to tell that to "speedbump", and that she REALLY needed to talk to me and to call me back in 15 minutes........he agreed under protest but hung up...

I click over, the conversation is as follows......"Okay, sorry baby, I'm back, that was "BL", another crisis in her life *humppfff* she is going to call back soon and I know you have a long day tomorrow so I'll sign off with you"...

Speedbump: "ummm really, you sure it was "BL"?"

Me: "ummm yeah why?"

Speedbump: "well honey, let me refresh your memory, "call "BL" tell her it was her that called and call me back in 15 minutes.....:wtf?????"

Me: ":rofl"

Speedbump: SCREAMING "You are laughing, you find this f**** funny? :wtf????? What do you have to say for yourself?"

Me: ":rofl ummmmm BUSTED :rofl OMG Steve I've got to pee really"

Speedbump: SCREAMING LOUDER "ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE TO PEE OR IS CASTOR TROY BEEPING IN BECAUSE HE IS DRUNK AND CAN'T TELL F***** TIME?"

Me: "Ahhhh baby, you are taking this a bit far don't you think?" note: still laughing

Speedbump: "Well by all means, mother nature calls don't let me keep you plus you have a call about to happen GOOD NITE CLICK"

Yupe you guessed it the f******'er hung up on me!!!!

:wtf????????

I called him back......busy signal, I called again, it kept ringing and rining and ringing........about 5 am he finally answered with "WHAT"

Me: "what do you mean what?"

Speedbump: "well I noticed in your lame attempt to recontact me there was a few minutes of "lul" time while you took your call back from Castor Troy, I'm sure the two of you had a GREAT laugh at my expense........"

Me: :lol

Speedbump: "you are NOT scoring any browine points with me JET!!!!!!!!!!"

Yes you guessed it, when I clicked over to take the call from "Castor Troy", Steve could hear us, yet we could not hear him, he heard EVERYTHING that was said.............Call Waiting REALLY needs to upgrade is all I have to say :smile

Obviously, without boring you with how I made this go away :wink, it did....however, after we were married, I found reciepts of the same time frame when he was giving me shit where he went to a titty bar supposedly for lunch on a F***** Saturday, bought a 3 DOLLAR lunch and tipped his waiteress 25 DOLLARS ~~~~~~ okay :wtf??????????????????????

Okay there you have it "tit for tat and no pun intended either" :lol

Like I said we don't live in a glass house, we both have baggage coming in this marriage, but still in the end, rather he is on the couch or in the bed, we still love on another, faults and all........but we have some GREAT laughs......what is a marriage if you can't laugh even if at some point one, or the other, or both parties were completely wrong???????? And plus it is HIS birthday after all :smile

Happy Birthday BABY I love you more than my non emotional self could every express, but I'll give it one hell of a try tonight :wink!!!!!!!!!

Every Time I Find Mr. Right My Husband Scares Him Away

:groupwave

Hello Everyone!!

As mentioned in an earlier post, we had company all weekend, and we had a blast together. The kids also had just as much fun spending time together.

Robin, my sweetie pie *her hubby*, her boys, Tommy and Julie, and Teresa were here ~ we had a lot of :cocktails, LOADS of food and EVEN more LOADS of laughs and good times!!!

We even got in some dancing around the house okay just Robin and I :smile, doing our little body moves :mouse :banana. And a few nakkid titty hugs :biggrin!!! Did I forget to mention the :remybussi going on?

Well I know I'm EXHAUSTED and really need some :sleeping!!! Hopefully tonight and once recoperated we are heading down to Robin's :happydance. Can't go too long without getting in some more of attention from my :heartpump!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and rumor has it Madbull and his wife's anniversary is today ~ so head on over to his site and leave them a message!!!
And question for you MB ~ how do I rank the "four stars"? :wink

Well I'm outta here for now ~

My Inner Child Is A Sassy Little Bitch Too

"T" and I of course at this hour were talking on the phone, reminising *however you spell it*, about old times, she brought my web page and something I had posted on my web page about my life...........here is the poem....

I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE

A guy who's perfect just for me!!!
A man who's bright and doesn't bore me, who has the good taste to adore me.

One who'll make my insides tingle, who is (dare I hope it?) single,
And who, if our lips should lock, can send my hormones into shock!

A man whose passion doesn't wane when he finds out I've got a brain, Yet one who'll flatter, charm and flirt (a lot of money couldn't hurt!)
So if you see my Mr. Right, feel free to call me day or night! And if he doesn't come along `` I'll consider Mr. Wrong!

Then, my Mr. Right happened along, in a sex chat room non the less, as "Jet's Mr. Right". Yeah you guessed it ~ "speedbump", he might piss me off more than any human should, but at the end of the day, I still love him!!!!

Ain't life great? My life might not be perfect, but for me it is content and more importantly happy!!!! I am not better than anyone else, I don't live in a glass house, I'm one of the lucky one's I've found my soul mate in life.....

This is as mushy as it gets people enjoy while you can :smile

Every Time I Find Mr. Right, My Husband Scares Him Away

Epelipsy, however you spell it, is not a pretty thing!!!! None of my children have it Thank God, but one of my dogs do, so therefore, whenever he has a seziure the night is pretty well shot!!!

Bruno, my black lab, 100 lbs plus, has his seziures in the most "unsafe" places known to man ~ on the edge of the bed, under the computer desk, in a small corner that only "Geratric baby" can fit in.........so "I" have to fish him out, calm him down, and stay awake until it is completely over!!!

Tonight, hubby snoring in the background, as loudly as I could without alarming Bruno, as you aren't suppose to be loud when a seziure is in progress as they could turn on you, I tell Steve I need help!!! I hear how he is searching as fast as he can to find some file, correct the problem etc etc etc........I finally yell WAKE THE ****** UP NOW!!! I need HELP!!! Well at least I know he is dreaming about computers and not women right HUMPFFFF

He wakes up long enough to tell me, Gezzzzz James you don't have to yell what's the problem........:angry!!! Oh nothing honey just looking to get laid *VERY EVIL LOOK*!!!

Steve is safely tucked away snoring away again, Bruno is just now coming out of his seizure so I have about another hour of letting him inside and out again, water, food and the like. I upp'ed his meds already and given them to him ~ Mr. Gerateric dog, aka Dustin is wide awake and walking the floor, and I've picked up a few messes from him as well, the night after I cleaned my carpets.....:angry!!!!

It is my choice to have my furry babies with all their problems and the like, but sometimes, just like kids, as I choose to have, they have REALLY BAD TIMING!!!!!

My vet gets after me all the time about Bruno and his seziures, saying, "Jamie, don't get down there with him and talk to him, he'll turn, he knows not what he does!" Okay I'll give you that, but that is the ONLY way I can pull BB out of one is to get down there with him, whisper in his ear "mama is here honey, it is okay, concentrate on mama". His eyes focus in on me and he calms down and starts coming out of it........

I know it is dangerous because he could just as easily be concentrating on taking my damn head off, but that is a chance I will always take with him to pull him through this.

I've been told by my vet, I'll lose Dustin, my geratric cocker spaniel who is 17 years of age, from either old age or kidney failure. And Bruno according to my vet, I'll lose from a sezirue. Hello NOT ON MY WATCH!!!

Charlie, my Shar Pai and Chance our Chow/Collie mix are healthy horses!!! I know they are dogs, but hey don't tell them okay; male ego and all you know :wink.

I don't bond well with animals or people, but when I do, it is a life issue ~ I'm there to the bitter end........so going through this with two of my dogs is brutal treatment for me.

Josh darlin', I'm sorry about the brutal cut off while we were talking, but you know how I am about ALL my babies!!!

Well he has managed to calm down a bit and I'm going to try and shew him into to bed with mama and try and get some sleep......tomorrow will be a better day.

"M" is for Mother NOT MAID

Yes, Dr. D, speedbump shares your views but usually with more of a force of language, debate and LOTS of grumbling!!!

My normal year of decoration as Buffy will agree with is I decorate for every holiday. I guess the reason I do that is because my parents didn't do a great deal of decorating EXCEPT for Christmas. So Christmas is huge around here!

The day after Thanksgiving, I want the lights hung on the house and bushes outside, since we do a live tree, unless we are planning a party, I'll wait until about the second week of December on that item. However, the house is fully decorated by the end of the weekend after Thanksgiving until we get the tree.

Every year, speedbump SWEARS, after this show, after this game or whatever he is laying on the couch watching he'll put up the lights, "I swear honey just let me be right now". Needless to say I have to get ugly, which I know hard to believe :smile, about this issue. This year, he kept putting it off until the coldest night of the year he was outside freezing his tushy off hanging lights. To say he was more than a little pissed at me well would be an understatement!!!!

On that note, New Years Day, I want it all down and out of sight as it has served its purpose until next year. So when I see other's with their stuff still out for me to view as I was forced to pour a cup of coffee ~ no need to say it I'll say it for you ~ damn bitch you're spoiled :smile. It is like Buffy and speedbump say, I'm anal about that type stuff. :lol

I'll also say this, some people may think that my response to Buffy is harsh and hers to me, if you think that please keep in mind she and I know one another VERY WELL that is us joking.....I know when I read it she is joking and she knows my response is joking.....if either of us disagreed on anything we'd not post it publicily we'd take it private ~ that is just how we are in our friendship. Just wanted to lay those issues to rest before any crept up!!

Who knows may after these topics, I've given speedbump something to discuss in his ultimate wisdom *note the huge sarcasm there* on his site :smile.

If At First You Don't Succeed Then Do It Like Your Mother First Told You

This morning, okay this afternoon, I was stumbling into my kitchen and fixing me a cup of coffee, since speedbump didn't see the need to hand deliver it this am :angry. As I was pouring it I looked out my kitchen window and something caught my eye.

The neighbors across the street still have all their Christmas decorations up and displayed. Now, I don't know why I haven't noticed this before, maybe because I'm spoiled and my coffee is always brought to me, but I had to stand there for a moment and think, yeah this is mid - Feb. WTF?

Then I remembered they are the same neighbors when the "Drunken Christmas Elves" from speedbumps suprise birthday party a few years ago, went and stole their red and green lights ~ yes I have photo's and NO it wasn't me!!

When I said something to speedbump about it, his reply is, "Jamie you are just anal about things like that leave the poor people be". Humppffff MEN!!! If they don't want to hear me bitch about then wake up and realize Christmas has passed get with the program already!!!

Today is a lazy day for us all, we are finally catching up on some much needed rest, since speedbump figured we needed two stay up all nights in one week uughhh, I'm too old for this shit is all I have to say!! So after dinner last night I curled up in bed with two of the beastly babies to watch some TV the next thing I knew, one of them was waking me up at 8 am to go outside and go potty. So I got up let him out, laid down on the couch and right back to sleep. Speedbump woke me up who knows when and helped me back to the bed and I finally rose and shinned at 1:30 pm. Damn I must have been tired!!! So parent control has shifted to me as speedbump is snoring away on the bed for his nap. I'm sure much will get accomplished today :lol NOT!!

Did You Take Classes On How To Piss Me Off?

Well I'm still exhausted, but hanging in there, I have my bedroom yet to vacum and then I am done with that task for today. With rain and four dogs it is a task I have to do several times a day :angry.

I ran across some real crazy articles today that I thought I'd share with you. The first one being, well I'll let you guys judge that one, but I have to say this ~ if they have to have a forum to tell their parents how to talk to the kids about this issue they are in worse shape than one could imagine. And I'm still trying to figure out what exactly they are going to charge the kids with in this situation.

And if that isn't crazy enough for you, let us move along to this article. All I can say I can't figure out which one is crazier the judge or the person accused!!!

And last but not least, a stupid criminal story to end the Irresistable Headlines. Can anyone hear these guys crying, I guess I should have learned to spell in school!!!!

Today being Valentine's Day, I have a house full of children and exhausted, so I have no idea what we may or may not be doing tonight. But it will be nice just to stay inside with all this bad weather heading in and spending time quietly and hopefully going to sleep early!!!!! To go along with my Ladies Of Justice, I know how baggy eyes ~ old age is not being kind to me *sniffle*!!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

My Inner Child Is A Sassy Little Bitch Also

Needs a lift is all I have to say :smile. Here you guys thought I was going to talk about our justicial system, well, sorry to disappoint you, I'm referring to my boobs.

Last night after our little "outting" and purchasing clothing, I came home and tried some of the stuff on and turned to speedbump and said "Okay it is official, we are checking into boob jobs, look at this, one is larger than the other and OMG THEY SAG!!!" That is when I told him I looked like the Lady of Justice statue, one perkie and one sagging. HOW AWFUL!!!!

Yeah, I'm vain I'll tell ya first hand and this whole getting older, sagging issue is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

Yet, since I'm using justice as a metaphor in my post, I do have to share an article I ran across in the news yesterday that all I could say is "You know you're a redneck when!!!!" I mean come on if you are going to be cold enough to steal these items, be smart enough NOT to advertise it!!!! And it was a policeman AT THAT!!!! *rolling eyes*!!!!

Well all I'm exhausted, speedbump kept me up too late last night, the naught man ~ so here is a :cocktail on the house and have a great night!!!

My Inner Child Is A Sassy Littl Bitch Too

Well speedbump decided that it was MY turn to go shopping :biggrin. Not one would consider ummm "normal daytime wear" :smile. Those that know us well know exactly where we went shopping tonight :wink.

I got some really cool outfits, now I have the fever to go out dancin'!!! One item I bought was more than I thought it should be so therefore I decided to flirt with the guy behind the counter :smile. He winked at me and said, "You are a dancer, right, with a sly wink", I of course stated, "Why of course I don't look like one?"

Yeah I was really looking like some seductive dancer in an oversized sweatshirt and sweat pants NOT!!!! But hey, I got a 20% discount so whatever floats one's boat, I'll not complain :lol.

When Ms. Prissy Princess goes to the in laws for the evening opens up hubby and wife time woohooo and tonight she is staying with the in laws. I'm suppose to be cleaning for the company coming in tomorrow, but hey, as she said she is coming to clean my house anyways :lol!!! *Not really an inside joke people*

I just hate it is mid week and hubby has to work tomorrow or else I'd be here changing clothes instead of posting and heading back out the door to go "dancing". But we are home, early day tomorrow for us all, hubby with work, Mr. GQ son to school, basketball game, cleaning, errands, and COMPANY WOOHOOO!!!!!

However, I did find some sign out lines while I was out and about tonight :smile.

Nite all!!!

Every Time I Find Mr. Right ; My Husband Scares Him Away

Well much has been going on and yet even more I won't talk about on here ~ lets just say my last two days have been very bad, but I have also in the process found out much information to put my ass on a rant. Clear the path is all I have to say!!! I've already made my appointments to get things straighted out and when bucked on the phone today, I just stated that is okay, I'll just call my attorney and let HIM handle it!!!! :angry Enough of that!!!

Dr. D, for the record, speedbump is still alive but feeling very lonely right now :smile. I'm sure I have punished him enough maybe I'll feel a nice bone in my body and forgive him. Now you aren't far from this ax'ing block either you know *humpf* since he swears he posted it for you and madbull. Yeah he has thrown you two under the bus. :lol

Now to some good news !!!! Robin will be in town this weekend with the fam, I'm sooooo looking forward to it as well as Missy T will be coming in for a day :biggrin along with some other friends of ours are also coming into town!!! So this weekend should be a fun filled party time around our homestead!!!

Miss Prissy Princess is heading over to her Grandmother's tonight which is going to help out a great deal so I can vaccum, dust and enjoy some time without her velcro'ed *however you spell it* to my ass!!!

Now what would be one of my post without something from the news? I found this today and since I used to work with Corrections, I laughed my ass off about this one. Can anyone say STUPID CRIMINAL?

Well all, tiz all the dribble I have to share with you all at the moment!!! Leaving a :cocktail for Dr. D when he stops by ~ everyone else LEAVE IT ALONE :smile.

Compliments of my Robin baby ~ she knows me so well :lol

Okay I read this while on the phone with "T" this afternoon. I couldn't believe such a waste of Tequila, my favorite drink, then when I read what brand, well figured just as well :lol.

Joze is my flavor of choice the more expensive the better as "speedbump" tells me *rolling eyes*, he is one to speak since he is high on my shit list at the moment and daily moves higher and higher if possible. I sure hope he is enjoying the cuddles of the couch because right now I'm thinking the floor seems more his speed *humpf*.

Anyhoot just thought I'd share my travels of news tips once again :smile.

I have seen this on Villa Santiago's blog for sometime and each week I swear to myself I'm going to answer these questions as they pose some very good questions.....but every week I fail.

Even though it is Monday, I'm now answering Saturday's questions, better late than never I suppose!!!

1. You're going out-of-town for a month and won't be using your new car. do you offer it to a friend who needs one?

I would probably offer it to a friend, but only one that I dearly trusted.

2. Your agent helped you when you were struggling. Now a large agency with powerful connections wants you. Do you dump your agent?

I would go to the agent that helped me and inform them of what I have been offered and ask their advise and what they would do ~ if they opposed my moving to the larger company, I'd have to do some real hard soul searching, but it would be hard just to "dump" someone who was loyal and helpful in the rough times.

3. The environmentally friendly laundry detergent costs two dollars more than the regular brand. Do you buy it?

Ummm No!!! I tend to stick to brands that I've used all my life with laundry products.

Friday it appears they moved up our status quo to one level short of closing down Federal and Government buildings.

The article I read this morning stated that are not specifics of where or when the terrorist will strike in the US.

Okay that is a given, but we as American's don't even know the "possibilities" of where or when as sketchy as the details obviously are at the time. Yet, they'll get on TV and tell us "no worries we are just taking percautions no reason to be alarmed" *shaking head* WTF?

Friday night we took my ex husband's parents out to eat and at the table behind us I heard these couples behind me discussing this information and their view was exactly what I'm saying. It is like the Government thinks we are stupid or else they don't want to give the other countries knowledge that they have indeed struck fear into American's about their safety and the well being of our children.

As well as, we are very angry especially after finding out that 9-11 could have been prevented, as the Government had warnings, but had dismissed them, so they up a level of security. My question is HOW are they protecting us? Our troops are doing all they can over seas and I personally am very proud of our troops still here in the states and abroad, but it still burns a question in my mind, how is the Government protecting them, my family, my friends, my children and every American?

I understand that there are things that we as American's can not be prevey too, however, since we are on the verge of war, it is common knowledge that the terrorist aren't done with us, yet, we are not given any information except in little tid bits that at the end of the news conference make no sence and only add more confusion.

I'll end by quoting one of my dearest friends Buffy, she stated something along the lines that rings so true, when will we stop feeling and immediately jumping to the first thought when something happens so tragic in America, was that terrorist attack again?

Input as always welcome!!

My brother n law!!!!! Speedbump told me he and his band have a new web page up and pulled it up for me.........my brother in law "Bubba" as we call him, is the one standing in the front of the other's in his pimp daddy shoes!!! If interested the web site offers photo's, music they sing aka "big daddy bubba" is the lead singer, and where they will be performing as well as where they have performed with photo's!!!

Go take a look at single hot pimp daddy........

Never lived in Alabama but pass threw it frequently going home to NC, however, the title is a newly release dvd to purchase.....I have thus far to manage to watch "portions" of the video, yet, through those portions, I've also managed to see my ex husband and I......that I sit there and laugh call him and say OMG you so have to watch this movie, this scene, but of course without your wife to date in the room, when you see it you'll understand......but being in the relationship I am now with my husband, I laugh about these things and go into detail why, I'm now finding out as Dr. D would say, men and women are so different, your blonde roots are showing deary, my husband isn't finding the humor in these issues as I am finding......go figure humpffff

So as Speedbump and I were discussing this, I told him, hell I just gave you on a sivler platter commentary for your blog to get a poll on, he just looked at me and said, you post to your blog your thoughts, my blog is exactly that MINE, I'll post whatever the hell I want too........

Okayyyyyyyyyy NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT but whatever he thinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smile

I've been trying to reach "T" tonight and the bitch is blowing me off....NOT HAPPY, my Robin pooh was talking like she was going to come into town this weekend and yet SHE ALSO blew me off till NEXT weekend............

Robin I'm moving in with you baby!!!!!! I'll clean house and you cook!!!!! My house NOW after calling bitching and complaining ~ taking photo's of their lack of cleaning ability and sending them in ~ someone else was here today from 9 till almost 4 re doing my house to MY inspection ~ so I'm pretty happy right now!!!

Now mind you before they left the house I did the whole across the house examination!!! It was able to pass my inspection, plus I watched this poor woman pretty much kill herself today, trying to vacum our high ceilings, scrub baseboards, vacume the walls and then the dusting, ceiling fans and the like...that is in my opinion the ONLY way to clean!!! That is how I clean this house every week anyways......

Okay, again it is official, I'm a VERY picky bitch!!!! Yet, it is clean :smile.

Sooooooo Robin, I'll clean ~ YOU cook!!!!!!

We will get together soon I PROMISE!!! This weekend is out obviously out because of the EX inlaws should already be in town, but I haven't heard from them yet, next weekend we have company coming in as well, LadyJade and CyberKnight and *fingers and legs crossed* "T*. Okay here is a thought Robin, why don't you come in next week and start cooking and stay and enjoy ~ you know we'll keep the alcohol flowing :lol.

So Robin baby it is happening soon :smile!!! Have I told you late I miss you?? :lol

Well they are here recleaning my house and I am very satisfied thus far with the person cleaning! I feel bad that she is having to fix the other two's screw up, but for the price I paid to have it done I expected it done to my satisfaction!!!

Or else these people don't know to clean :angry. So tomorrow I am getting up at 8 am *uuuggghhhhhhh* to let yet another lady into my house to clean the correct way free of charge from the company.

I'm barely concious today and have come to a conclusion!!! I'm too old for this all night shit and then have to get up and tend to children all day and poor speedbump called me early afternoon and just said "OMG I THINK I"M DYING I'm so tired".

Finally, the kids in bed, and I'm heading there now!!! Robin darlin' I got your message I'll call you tomorrow sorry I haven't called you back yet but I'm brain dead worse than I am on a normal day :lol

What is that you Brit's call it "MATE" tonight? :lol Okay aka I'll refer to her as my PERSONAL Ms. Dr. Phil!!!!!!!

We decided tonight, no matter who wins the lottery, we are taking a "group" trip to Jamicia!!!!!!!!!! Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a great conversation I just hate that "mama Kit" was already in bed that I couldn't "three way" her into the conversation on the phone and ironically, it was a phone conversation generated from a conversation in a SEX chat room......

Regardless................I've met her in person and she is a dream!!!!!!!!!! Her husband well is hubba hubba hubba material...............as well as MY Fred!!!!!

I'm a lucky woman online........from all the people I've met from online, there are VERY few I can say, if I met them on the street as a person, I'd turn my back on. NOW mind you, there are some, I'd keep on walking and not look back, but VERY few in numbers.

Ms. Phil.....................GAWD I LOVE YOU...........to your hubby, give him kisses for me, hugs and well of course Nakkid tittie rubs as well :wink!!!!!!! Mama Kitty..............I live to be you AND Ms. Phil and daily I miss the mark but because you two are in my life, I'm a better person....

Amies, OMG AMIES.......where do I begin? :smile Thank you for just being "you"

And "T" bitch baby!!!!!!!!!! And 'L'....................... I love you both more than I can formualte into words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAAAAAAAWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA darlin's!!!!!!!!

It is late, okay EARLY, and I'm WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too old for this shit...........Good nite!!!!!!!!

Well tonight has been an email enlightening situation..........but more than anyone had to write and say, the email that I'll value to the day I die, is from my daddy, a video email.....where he wants to "talk" to me.....he doesn't say much, nor does he reveal much, but the point of the finger, him in his chair, the tone, is something I'll burn on 'cd" and TREASURE for the rest of my life......my daddy, talking to me personally, over a new edition to the family, a CAT!!!!

My daddy and I have a warped sense of humor, always have, so to understand us you have to understand that humor.

Have I mentioned lately I MISS MY DADDY???????? I miss my mama too, but I'm a daddy's baby........I miss him....I live too far away......

I have to retract everything negative I spoke of hubby to a degree about my computer since well hell he fixed the problem!!! Just wanted to let everyone know I can at least retract when I throw him under the bus :smile!!!!

Well the weekend was fun filled and without Dr. D having to play President Bush, I managed to contain war possiblities at home :lol. *For the record Dr. D ~ I WON :wink*

My daddy sent me several emails titled I need your help ~ basically, I have to retype his Church directory for publication. Not hard about an hour of my time and hit send back to him ~ so I have put it off for many reasons, I've been sick, the kids have been sick, I've got ex inlaws coming into town this week, I've been trying to clean, I took care of issues at home :wink, etc etc.

So I go today to get it done and off to my daddy ~ go to reopen the items I could open and the one's I couldn't forward to "T" to try and open and resend back to me ~ I find out I can't open any past files.....

Can anyone say GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I let hubby on my baby over the weekend and NOW I can't open any past files out of my email box..........NOT A HAPPY CAMPER AM I!!!!!

What is it with men and electronics in the house they think they have to dabble on each electronic until they wind up screwing it up and then suddenly, well I have my computer it runs fine, remember I'm forbidden to touch yours.....YEAH I KNOW THIS OBVIOUSLY YOU DON"T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read Diz's comment on Speedbumps page, "glares at Diz", I'll not behead you now honey, but don't give him any more ideas OKAY.....women stick together RIGHT???? Help me here hon gezzz :lol Oh and Diz I want that shirt :smile you know what I'm talking about!!!

Okay yet again, a post of mindless dribble, I've got to get everything picked up and put away in the house as I broke down and did the lazy housewife way of cleaning, I hired a cleaning crew!!! They will be here tomorrow afternoon :smile.

I'm very aprehensive about this since I've only hired someone to clean my house one other time and that was while I was preggo with Ms. Prissy Princess and direct orders to stay in bed. They broke some very valuable knick nacks of personal value and expensive value and I swore after that experience I'd not have anyone clean my house but me, but I'm taking YET another chance, with a different company. I'm not bound to bed this time and can keep a close eye as they asked me to stay home since the dogs have no place to go while they are cleaning. And I'll admit it READILY, I'm taking the lazy way out of getting my house ready for company.............but all you have to do is spend a day with my youngest and know ~ you've waited this long? :lol

I'm watching Everyone Loves Raymond......laughing and it is official this so sums up mine and Speedbumps marriage.....minus the inlaws living right next door THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!! But they live in driving distance humpffff but really I'm lucky, it took us all awhile to get here, but now we like one another and have fun together.

Well enough of endless dribble conversation......I"m outta here!!!

If you can read my blog okay then ignore this but for some reason our computers are f****'ng up BADLY!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

So in other words this is a test ONLY a test in the next 60 seconds we should be done..........:lol

It started out sad, yet after reading my comments and a new found blog thanks to the guidance Mad Bull and Dr. D , I located wken's blog and read his uplifting entry of thinking, posting and acting positive. Thanks you two for leading me over there!!!

So today, despite the overhanging of apparent sadness, I decided it was time to look at life more positive. Hubby took Ms. Prissy Princess over to her Nannie and Poppie's house for the night, my oldest decided he wanted to come home and play on his computer and PS2, while hubby and I went shopping for things needed in the house.

While we were out shopping we decided that there were a great deal of sales going on that were one day and with Valentine's Day upon us, we'd go browse to see what each of us wanted. Well, we also decided that the deals were to great to pass up and Valentine's Day came early for us.

While we were shopping, little Ms. Prissy Princess called on the cell phone to talk to mama, I get on the phone and this is how our conversation goes:

Mama: Hello love muffin

Ms. Prissy Princess: Hi mama wv' muff'n, I'm staying the night here and now I'm eating dinner want to know how much I ate?

Mama: why of course sweetie what did you have for dinner

Ms. Prissy Princess: chicken, green beans, lots and lots of corn, bread, salad and *in a little whisper* ice cream

Mama: Ice cream huh?

Ms. Prissy Princess: yes I mean if that is okay with you mama

Mama: *laughing* honey, you can eat all the ice cream you want as long as you brush your teeth before bed

Ms. Prissy Princess: but it is choclate ice cream mama

Mama: yeah sweetie and? You are staying with Nannie and Poppie tonight eat all you want *smiling wickedly*

Ms. Prissy Princess: *sounding real proud of herself, yelling for poppie* Mama said I could eat as much as I want poppie so fill me up!!!

Ms. Prissy Princess: well mama gotta go love you come pick me up first thing tomorrow I LOVE YOU mama!!!

Mama: I love you too love muffin sleep well remember brush your teeth

Ms. Prissy Princess: okay mama Nannie wants to talk to you

Nannie: Geeee thanks Jamie she'll never go to sleep

Me: yeah and??? laughing, well I gotta go now have fun..........hangs up!!!

My son is sitting over here shopping on sporting sites and limiting my ability to wander on the net *humpf*, but surely he'll soon have to go to bed right?

So my rambling is about as thought provoking as I'm going to get tonight ~ I'm in a good mood, I've read some GREAT reads ~ I've even caught up on a few that I've been behind on and for the record Dr. D.....photo's are a no no on Hubby's blog of me at least ~ LOL if interested I'll email you a private pic of me *fully clothed I might add* :lol

Well I'm going to get off here so hubby can hook up "OUR" Valentine's Day gift. Stay safe everyone!!!

Well I was awaken for the second time this morning by the phone. Amy called to tell me to turn on my TV. My first noise to awaken me from my sleeping slumber was a large boom sound.

Amy began telling me what had happened this morning as I'm sure most of you are already aware is the shuttle has exploded. I found more information on our local tvs web site which also includes streaming video.

We are awaiting a news conference out of Washington to find out if they have any knowledge of how this happened.

It is a tragic day for everyone, but more so for the families and friends of the people who lost there life. There were several individuals who are from our surrounding area that were on the shuttle I'm hearing on the news.

All of this sad news and still haven't had my coffee so my mind is still very fussy!!
