Well Buffy and T-Bone I am posting as per your request all full of joy and excitement LOL. However first I must ask T how do I use these little icon thingies on this page without being driected to another page???? Do tell!!!

Anyhoot, things around our house have been nothing but constant movement. Baseball has begun, however, I missed the first game. That really upset me!!! Both kids are busy with school and their selected activities there is never a dull moment in this house apparently.

Well two weeks ago I started feeling more than a little under the weather. I suffered for a few days and then went to my doctor who told me no worries it was just a urinarie track infection and gave me some antibotics. Okay, didn't feel like any ut I had ever had but whatever you say. I went home took my meds and pain meds and drifted off to sleep. I wake up around midnight in terrible pain and unable to breath so Speedbump and Q18 are standing there speechless on what to do as I'm rolling around unable to catch my breath, tears streaming down my face and in total pain. So Speedbump grabbed the phone and called 911.

Under normal circumstances all those good looking men in uniform would have been heaven for me, but I was in such bad shape I couldn't even enjoy the views *sniffle*. Three of them get me up on the stretcher take my vitals and off to the hospital we go ~ drugs immediately administered in the ambulance, normal questions etc etc as I lie there feeling like I"m dying for sure.

After many test and loads more pain med's enough to take the edge off the pain but not enough to kill it the emergency room doctor comes in and says he is admitting me for further test. By Sunday nite I was being wheeled in to surgery to have my gall bladder and appendix removed. Apparently they both decided to go bad at the same time!

Until Tuesday mid afternoon don't remember much only to be told that I had developed phenmonia and would have to stay longer than expected. UUGGHHH ~ Finally Thursday afternoon they released me still have phemonia but they feel I would get better rest and recovery at home as we all know sleeping in a hospital isn't happening!!!

So I am home now feeling better than the last time I was here but still not up to par which I guess is to be expected and decided to make a post so everyone knows I"m alive at least LOL.

So now you know why I'm already ready for 2007 to depart only hope that the year gets better from here!!!

That is all for now need to go lay back down ~

Tata for now!

Okay so I come home from work and check my email accounts and notice my bitch of a computer is acting up. She is running slow, not wanting to open programs and the list goes on; then she finally just gives up.

Now mind you, my bitchy computer is old, grumpy, and very VERY tempermential!!!! As many whom have used her can vouch for ~ however she normal doesn't act up with me. Yet tonight, possibly due to age and over usage, she decided it was time.

If I started moving furniture during my cleaning!!! Yes, at this very moment, my bedroom is literally pulled completely apart!!! With 4 dogs one has to do this on a regular basis and I have been putting it off for awhile for one reason or another but bottom line because I knew what I was in for and here it is proof in the pudding!! The dust, the fur etc I'm digging around and cleaning as one should and then I tackle the walls ugghhh!!! My arms and back are killing me and this is only one room. However, this would be the worse room in the house due to all the electronics in here which are a screaming dust and fur ball dust magnetic!!! Plus this is where the dogs tend to hang out during the day and at night and not to mention the rest of the rooms get this kind of treatment on a more regular basis. Since my bedroom also houses the office I tend to try and clean this one last and it is the house of where everything goes where you aren't sure it goes at the time. Yet when the day comes to tear it apart one feels like I do now and constantly regreting that one has put it off till now HUMPF!!!

On the flip side of this back breaking chore though is this a happy note at least my bedroom will be in good shape of "spring house" cleaning until the next time it calls for such drastic measures on behalf :biggrin

So what are you doing over your weekend???

So I go to get my addiction a tall Starbucks carmel mocha drink ~ as I place my order, my mouth waters as I look forward to sipping on my tall warm drink which I am so addicted too!!!! Only to have my order called and me rush up to the counter and stop dead in my tracks. Surely they made a mistake it was a very small cup so I smile and tell the guy, you must have made a mistake I ordered the TALL one. He smiled back and said, that is the tall one we do have smaller!!

Here is my thought, if you are going to cut the drink size below half of what it was why did you not lower your price!!! I'm not happy with Starbucks I need to find out how to complain I mean really after two swallows it is gone and they call that a large!!! I sooooo think not!!!

I can see Kristi sitting at her computer stewing ~ reaching for her phone to lecture me about how I am to stay away from such little pleasures in life ~ calm down lady I refuse to spend that kind of $$ on such a small cup of coffee and since I'm now band to decafe I guess my life is to adjust!!! *humpf*!!!!

However if they ever produce the correct size required for a TALL one I'll be the first in line rather I"m allowed or not ~ there are just some pleasures one must not miss in life and that is one of them!!!

I may have turned 40 but the best part of turning 40 is ~

my best friend since I was 6 years old is flying in for the weekend to spend time with me and the fam and to attend a party my hubby is hosting for my 40th!!!

Nothing major just a few friends over and apparently my friends are hosting it via food etc we are just hosting the location LOL

But the best present EVER is Suzy Q flying in to visit!!!!

I'm so SIKED!!!!!

Another gift from "mom" in case you aren't up to date on terms ~ mama, my mother, mom, my mother n law, nonnie, grand mother in law!!!

Thanks mom!!!

Nite all ~ going to bed happy and dancing

Well we are on the count down for our trip to the wonderful state of Oklahoma (note high sarcasm there!!!). Q17 is growing nervous, his swing is out of wack and is really worried about his performance during this tournament won't be up to par. I have faith in him he'll get everything right in his mind and body.

Little Ms Prissy is excited to be able to go on this road trip. She says she is excited about having mama to herself. She wasn't real thrilled when I explained the purpose of this trip is baseball baseball baseball, yet she cheered up real quick when I informed her there was a pool where we would be staying. In her mind all is now right in her world. I hope she still feels that way when we arrive :biggrin.

It shouldn't be all bad though, I'm hoping that our friends that live about 2 hours away will come and see Q17 play ball and Ms. Prissy wants to see them so badly. Hopefully schedules will allow that to happen only time will tell.

Well I guess I should stop boring everyone and get busy with finishing up the laundry in preparation of having all uniforms ready to go plus also a game tonight. Our lives are consumed with baseball right now and then the scariest part is next year it will be consumed with my babies senior year. *sniffle*.

Tata for now ~ miss me while I"m gone :biggrin

Well yesterday Q17 became an official card carrying licensed driver in this state we live in! He has a truck waiting for him at the ex husband's house, however, ex hubby conviently is making us drive to that neck of the woods to get it for hm. :errrr Yeah like we have time like that just waiting for us to take a vacation :lol.

Anyways, as any teenager just getting their license, he was anxiously awaiting to get behind the wheel of a car unsupervised by mom or dad. So since baseball practice was so early on a morning that they didn't have school, I let him take my car under MAJOR protest for several reasons. Most importatnt reason my tags are out of my car!!! So I tell him about that and tell him I don't want him driving until I get them taken care of, but he begged, then begged some more this a.m., before coffee and before even one eye cracked open and he won.

So off he goes, happy as a lark to pick up one of his buddies and off to practice. He finally wanders himself home late this afternoon and when he walked in he was visibilly shaking like a leaf and looked like he had seen a ghost.

With a deep breath and fearing what I was about to hear, I asked him what is wrong??? He looks at me almost in tears and says I will not drive that car again until you get it inspected. :hum

Okay, so what happened??? His first day behind the wheel, the car apparently died on him at the field. We later found out a loose battery wire for that problem. Second item, his first day out he gets pulled over!!!! For what you might wonder? My inspection sticker that I warned him about!!! Poor baby!!!

So tomorrow, I'm off to get the car inspected and everything taken care of so that he can at least try and head out and not get in trouble next time!!! :lol

Tata everyone!

Jamie

Boy has our lives exploded around here, between working and our kids schedules and social lives, I was begining to wonder if I remembered how to use this machine! :biggrin

Isn't T good!!! I just love the Valentine look she has going on for me. It is so me :biggrin.

I have been trying to get here to make a post, but things are so crazy around here I haven't had a chance. But I did want to at least send out a HUGE thank you to T for doing my design :smile. I promise I will update soon!!!!

It is that time of year again where we chime in the New Year, and some of us make resolutions for the upcoming New Year. However, today something clicked with me, I don’t know call it my “small town” mentality kicking in or just being tired of living in a big city and feeling like a “small town” is the worse thing in the world!! Then again, it could be my eldest child’s looks at me like I’ve been taken over by aliens. Who knows what makes my mind tick at least it ticks!

All resolutions means is the state or quality of being resolved; firm determination, according to dictionary.com. So I find it funny this year for some reason, why does it take a new year to ring in for resolutions to be made? I guess in some form or fashion I have been making resolutions all year in some degree or another. Some good and some not so good, but at the end of the year, I have determined what I have been doing is evaluating my life. What I have determined is not what most would expect. I’m sure many would think that I have determined I’ve got tunnel vision about life and what is expected. Then there are some that would think that I’m materialistic and care only for myself. Many would determine I’m spoiled and on many levels blessed. Well, to a great degree I’d agree with those determinations, but not to the degree that others would. I believe that everyone has bits of those abilities in themselves they just show them differently, hence, what makes us different.

I have always looked at myself as a determined woman on anything that is important to me. My beliefs are important to me, my friendships are important to me (however not always one sided), but my family (and yes that includes my dogs) is the most important to me. However, I am also not so one sided to think that what is important to me is just as important, or has any importance to other’s, again what makes us different! I guess that I have a new determination on life in this upcoming New Year. I guess I can thank my daughter and her innocence for that!!! One cannot go backwards no matter how hard we wish we could, all we can do is go forward. For as the clocks ticks each second by, it is a second of our life we can not change nor move backwards, time does not stand still, so therefore this “small town” girl will now finally become a face in a big city town and a face with a voice. No longer just a faceless individual in a large over populated crowd!

I hope that this New Year finds everyone with his or her hand out stretched in friendship and not in need. Happiness and prosperous wishes to everyone and theirs!!! Happy New Year!

CHEERS!

So I get all this paperwork together for the home I was adopted from to obtain even more information about family medical history. Made this first call this a.m. to find out if my assigned case worker had received the death certificate. She had told me what biological mother died from, I of course couldn't repeat it nor spell it on a bad day. So was talking with the batcave about it today and since I couldn't even tell her what it was ~ we called three way. Case worker got a kick out of it actually. However if anyone wants to know what it was she passed from at the age of 51 you'll have to contact the batcave and well Good LUCK with all that!!! :lol So as the day progressed and I was getting everything ready to mail I had a brain storm. Why can't I fax this information and send hard copy later to hurry the process along! So I called again! Case worker started laughing and said "Long time no hear" :biggrin. I expressed my thought and she said yes I could do that, but did I realize that she had other individuals she was working with also. *humpf* yeah and!!! My exact response! She laughed and said you do believe that people should put you first don't you ~ and I responded does it show, I don't understand why people are so quick to state that about little ol' me!! She laughed even harder. Apparently the previous caseworker kept really good notes and commentary about me ~ hummm don't know if that is good or not! :lol So anyhoot, we are moving this up a notch apparently!

Now to the photo issue that I couldn't make happen ~

Stole this from the batcave, I think it fits me :biggrin.

Your Hair Should Be White

Classy, stylish, and eloquent. You've got a way about you that floors everyone you meet.

So it is wee hours in the a.m. and I'm still slightly awake. With all the stupid channels we have on tv now I of course can't find anything of interest to watch so I sit down on this little box. You can always find something of interest on here if you search long enough :biggrin.

Continue reading if you'd like

Well hello everyone ~ or at least the few that still read :smile ~

I decided to come back to blogging and am now only to able to hit and miss ~ it just seems posting about my endless days of dribble seems so non entertaining. But at 2 a.m. in the morning still trying to unwind from work tonight ~ I decided what the hell ~ I'll make a mindless dribble post with updates :biggrin

Well today has been a blah day with thunderstorms starting in the wee morning hours around here and as I type this still pouring down rain ~ apparently SHE caused this because she had to wash her vehicle's yesterday :biggrin. Sorry Jen had to do it!!! :lol

Anyhoot advise needed

Status again :biggrin ~ it took me doing the stupid YMCA dance IN PUBLIC ~ but hey according to my son Q15 "I ROCK" ~ I'll take that any day of the week even if I have to embarase myself :lol I guess a dear friend of mine for years and years was right ~ let him know it hurt but then don't say anything at all about it again ~ kill it with kindness and start correcting what "HE" thinks is wrong with you ~ that particular friend was so right!!! Thank you friend and you know whom you are :biggrin!!!

But I need some humor in blog world :biggrin

For the record ~ Q15 has made at least the first part of his journey I'm still awaiting positive safe landing all the way across the board...my chest hurts I swear I'm having a stroke but this is a good thing "RIGHT?"!!!!!!

Now to the HUMOR Buffy sent this via email and being a drinker myself I LOVED IT go figure :biggrin

ENJOY!!!

Well the time has come that I need to put this on the shelf for awhile and do all I can to make this an enjoyable summer for our family.......

My eldest child has suffered yet another blow in his life ~ another baseball team member whom he played ball with died over the weekend. This is the second from the same team within only a few months of one another ~ Q15 is taking it very hard and I'm very worried about him.

Plus this gives me time to regroup and actually, you are going to love this line, find myself. :biggrin.

Yeah, I've been lost for most my life so don't you think it is time for me to go out there looking for myself????

I don't know when I'll decide to come back and start blogging much less what about, but for now I'm going to be MIA for a bit.........

Hope everyone has a wonderful spring and summer and that when I return that I find everyone healthy and happy!!!

Thanks for reading thus far and have a wonderful summer!!!

Almost anywhere :smile.

Well today, flattery, no matter how untrue it was, still made my day :biggrin

I was told that not only did I look like I was in my early 20's but no way did my body look like a mother of two.....okay that type of flattery will get ya places :lol. However, didn't get him anywhere :lol, but he did make my day :smile.

Of course my son about died of embarrassment and my daughter yelled, she does too look like a mommie she is MY MOMMIE!!! Ohhhh who are these children and why are they calling me mom is all I want to know ~ here have an apple or somethin' gezzzz ruin a moment for me *huge pout*.

Other than cleaning floors for the upcoming party and the house and all the domestic goddess chores that I do so well HA!!!!! My life is pretty much the same and boring ~ I think it is time that calgon needs to take me on a really long road trip ~ after I obtain a very good tan and firm up some very flabby body parts ~ and for the record calgon can we leave the kids behind???? Just a last minute request on my part you know :smile.

Hope everyone is having a good week ~ just thought I'd drop in here and type a little bit of dribble before heading off to sleepless wonder ~

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES....NOT GOOD FOR ANYTHING REALLY, HOWEVER, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE WHEN YOU SEE THEM TUMBLE DOWN THE STAIRS!!!

Days where you wake up meanier than a snake??????????

I mean after 3 cups of coffee you are still vile towards any man kind???

Well then welcome to my day........

I've, as you've been reading, busy putting the house together. And I must say, :biggrin, OMG it looks WONDERFUL!!!! I'll be posting photo's soon, hopefully this weekend.

However, the best gift of all, we met some neighors tonight ~ what great people they are and we all have so much in common. So easy to be with one another, the children seem to bond quickly and easily, hell, even the dogs "bloody well" like them.

Yes they are british.....it appears I get along better with brits than american's these days :lol. But I did so enjoy their company tonight and no longer feel like a "misfit" in the state of Texas.

Friends seem to develope when needed the most I'm finding out and KG darlin' I bet you I post photo's of the house before you get to see it first hand........:lol remember now........I have to have Speedbump to upgrade "betty lou" before I can download any photo's...........so you now have a challange :lol

IF QUITTERS NEVER QUIT AND WINNERS NEVER QUIT; THEN WHO IS THE FOOL WHO STATED "QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD?"

A smooth transaction this has not been to date and we aren't even half way done yet :cry. So while I sit and enjoy a cup of :coffee I figured I'd jot down some of the mishaps thus far :smile.

First I'll start out with clarifications for one of my readers :smile. Either what was said to me tonight was a compliment, as I know she has seen my photo, or else it was an insult, but hey I'm working with the first conclusion :lol. For the record my youngest child, aka Little Ms. Prissy Princess, is FIVE YEARS OLD, NOT FIFTEEN!!! Q15 is my son who is actually FIFTEEN almost sixteen. They are my only children. Okay wait, my three dogs and hubby are also my children, they are the only two I have given birth too, how's that??? :biggrin

Now that is out of the way, they know who they are :biglaugha I'll just refer to them on this blog as my co-driver on the bus she and I both will be driving to hell.........'all aboard' :lol

There is more if you dare keep reading.

Okay, I understand that people had issues over the whole Superbowl boob shot, but gezzz give it a rest already!!!! I turn on my TV today only to find out that every channel associated with CBS has been removed from our satalite.

Let's think about this ~

I wouldn't have a problem really if it were just one channel, nor am I upset that MTV is removed, I never watched it anyways. However I am chapped about two of our Disney channels and every Nick channel being removed, the comedy channel and that is when I stopped looking!!!

All I know is they had better adjust my bill accordingly and I don't mean by a stupid dollar either!!! :angry!!!!

Direct TV is looking more like the satalite server to be going towards at this moment as from what I read in this article they still have all their channels up and running with no interuption.

Why punish the public because networks can't have a better handle on taking risky chances on whom they put on stage for such public events. I mean really, when the Osborne's hosted some awards show, there was back lash in regards to the language, but channels just didn't disappear over night. Make the artist who cause such an uproar pay and make restitution again don't in a "corporate" decision decide to remove programing from the public that PAYS for it!!!!

I'm off my soap box!! But yes it really chaps my hide over this ~

I AM NOBODY AND NOBODY IS PERFECT ~ THEREFORE I'M PERFECT!!!

Thank Goodness it is over and time to relax!!!!!! Yesterday, Little Ms. Prissy Princess officially turned FIVE YEARS OLD!!! So our day today consisted of me getting up WAY before I like doing, heading off to work. Leaving right from work and racing back over to our side of town for the birthday party at McDonald's. Thank goodness we went that route the thought of so many little 4/5 year olds running around my house makes me cringe!!! Loaded up from there to head out to an already in progress baseball game with Q15.

Speedbump called me in route and informed me to hurry up because Q15 was pitching. So I'm speeding along with a grabby grabby birthday girl and finally reach the baseball field to watch Q15 doing an awesome job in pitching. However, the team suffered their first loss of the season :sad. They are now 9 and 1.

Then back home to begin the nightmare of packing up the house. Ohhh wait, I haven't made that announcement here yet have I?? Well yes we are moving :smile. More on that later ~

So here I sit catching up on email and news ~

Have you ever thought about the meaning of extended families in a child's life?????? This is a topic dear and close to me on several reason's ~ let's see if I can follow through my train of thought :smile.

Keep reading if you dare as I'll not apologize!!! And this will be lengthy

You want to drop kick everything and everyone you know to king dom com?????? Welcome to my life lately!!!

I've posted about the so called "guardian angel" we all are suppose to have, well, obviously mine has a SICK and let me emphasise SICK sense of humor as I do not apparently have one!!!

When it rains it flipping pours around this house on bad news and issues that can not be taken care of!!!

I'm frustrated with life, I'm tired in a normal day and life doesn't help, I just want to evaporate to the earth and pray I can come back as something helpful!!!!

Okay my guardian angel and God, the joke is on me, I'm glad you enjoyed the laugh at my expense now can we move forward and make some positive difference?? Not only in my life but here is a thought those around me?????? Right now well it isn't working for me!!!!

However I have a song I'd love to share with everyone but do not know how to link it up for everyone to get ~ so therefore I'll just include artist and title ~ it is an OLDER song ~ welcome to my life Puff Johnson ~ Forever More ~ LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!

Can I just say right now ~

I HATE LIFE!!!!!!!

Well I was wondering around during coffee and saw this on Buffy's site and thought what the heck I'll check it out ~ it is kind of fun trying to remember where all I've been.

Okay here is the countries I've visited ~

create your own visited country map
or write about it on the open travel guide

Now all the states ~

create your own visited states map
or write about it on the open travel guide

The choke hold they have on my guardian angel ~ or at least give my guardian angel some drug to come out of the obvious COMA it has been in for the past several years of my life!!!

The whole "God doesn't give you anymore than you can handle" glichey is really growing old because I can promise everyone and surely God doesn't have that bad of a sense of humor ~ ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!! :errrr

Read further if you dare :smile

Okay everyone, I'm finally addicitied to a "reality show", The Apprentice. And just let me say, OMG DONALD WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?????? Kill off that Sam person ~ he not only annoys your aduiance but his team!!!!

Second on the women's side, the first bitch to go has got to be Omarosa!!!! Hell I'd quite before working for her uptight ass!!!! Eric is also a second to go ~ too emotional but she at least tries to get along Omarosa and Sam I see being at the end due to "ratings" which I think would be the death of this show!!!

Just my humble opinion!!! :smile

I was told to update so here is my update :lol

Have a great nite peeps I'm still trying to get ready for a party this weekend ~ tootles!!!
