Go check out some great news for Q18 ~ I'm so proud of him!!!!

Home of the Richland Rebel's

I did try and do the url thingy but for some reason it didn't work!! *snort*
**T'sey edit...it works fine if you know how to use it :lol**

Well he and I are off to hit the road for his first official visit!!

Tata

Jamie

Yes my baby thinks he is all grown up! Okay at 6 5 he is well on his way physically, however, he still has some growing up to do on some other levels.

So for his 18th Birthday, Speedbump and I were able to give him something he REAAAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY wanted..........

Especially with my kids!!! My almost beloved 18 year old son decided to see how far he could push me yesterday and during the course of finding out pushing me wasn't the wisest decision he ever made, he thought he grew a set of balls to take me on..............after several episodes of my head spinnning around and pea soup spewing from my mouth he quickly figured out he pushed me to far.

In the mist of my utter posseion of evil :let_it_all_out his birthday suprise was exposed by me hurrling his soon to be car keys in his face. He was terrified to even touch the keys until today and then today the reality set in ~ his grounded on his birthday and a car will be in our driveway that he has begged for years and he can't touch it much less drive it!!!!

That tid bit of knowledge tempers my anger and brings me great joy to know I haven't lost my touch :biggrin.

On a happier note, SCHOOL STARTED!!!!!!! :mouse Little Ms. Prissy is in the second grade. She was so excited she couldn't sleep the night before and on the morning of her first day back in school she was up before the sun and scared me to death by sneaking up on me in the bathroom while I was getting ready. Q17 was a different story, I'm seeing a pattern here on his senior year, getting him to move out of his bed was like moving our bed hogging dog Charlie out of the bed. Q17 was fighting me along with Charlie growling, grumbling and just plain both of them being asses!!!! Yet I won out!!! :biggrin

Ms. Prissy Princess decided she wanted a new "dew" for this school year so she has a sassy hair style going on and per my mother n laws request I'm to add more photo's.......see below. Ms. Prissy's first day of second grade and of course an embaressing moment for Q17 where a friend of his, his girlfriend and Ms. Prissy wearing tiera's (however you spell it).

Well we had a very busy weekend around here!! I just wish Ms. Prissy Princess felt better as she has come down with something and took away some of the enjoyment of all her fun. Q17 was off a buzz with baseball stuff.

The hardest thing for me was allowing Q17 to have a night out, note: ALL NIGHT, with no adult supervision, with the Varsity baseball team to kick off the season. Apparently this is a tradition :scared Then they were off the next day for a full day of baseball practice, working on the field and eventually he found his way home to sleep the remainder of the day!!! Only to wake up and off again with the baseball crew :head.

Then Ms. Prissy's day was going in the complete opposite direction, which is par for the course here!!! Ms. Prissy started her weekend spending the night with a neighborhood friend and then the next day trying to bargin about the already set plans. There was a birthday party she would have thrown a wall eyed fit if she missed, but yet she still wanted to go to a soccor game with her friend. :eyes She wound up going to the party and getting home not feeling so well, but she had a date for that night. So I had her take it easy for the few hours before her "big night" and then began getting her ready.

However, she looked so tired and a bit grouchy, I didn't know how long she'd last. Yet she was determined she was continuing with her plans. Her "big date" was to her first dance with her daddy. And yes click below and you can see photo!!! She had a good time, but by the time she got home, she was burning up with a fever and has been sick ever since; my poor baby. Tomorrow off to the doctor we go...........

Just getting in from the last game of the baseball tournament ~ WE WON!!!! The team won the first tournament of the season on another teams turf ~ found out that they aren't such good losers ~ the trophy was handed off by one of the players almost thrown at our coach and ran off ~ :hum

However, Master Studly, aka Q15, played very well in all the games ~ :biggrin ~ he made mama very proud!!!

Little Ms. Prissy Princess LOVES going to the games. Not so much to watch her big brother play, but mostly to have a wide open space to run and scream. And luckily for everyone around here, a place for her to wear herself out!!! :biggrin.

Well time to get Little Ms. Prissy Princess into the bed and mama soon to follow!!! However, before I depart, I want to send a big thank you to everyone who has posted their support and encouragement about my new employment status :biggrin. I'm still in the "training stages" so not much to report as of yet, but as soon as I get a feel for it I'll keep you posted :smile.

Seems much news is developing on our home front but when I sit down to blog about it my blonde roots gripe my brain and bleed it empty :lol.

I AM A NOBODY AND NOBODY IS PERFECT ~ THEREFORE I AM PERFECT :smile

But before I fill you in on what I mean ~ let me ask ~ How do you like the New Year look???? T'sey is sooo good to me :biggrin.

As you can tell we survived Christmas!! It was a very nice Christmas other than the fact that I had the flu :puke. I spent Christmas afternoon, the next day and Saturday in bed, Sunday I managed to feel slightly human to crawl into a shower and back into bed :smile.

Monday a.m. I woke up feeling as normal as well I can be under the guidelines of "normal". :smile SHUT UP FROM THE CHEAP SEATS!!!! Only to find out ~

Well it is that time of year that all teacher's assign school projects. I found out the weekend after Thanksgiving that Q15 had "TWO" school projects due after the Thanksgiving holiday that he knew about for almost a month. Yet, per the norm, I found out about them when one was due the day he was suppose to go back to school and the other is due this week. Of course, he hadn't even worked on them at all until the last minute.

Well the one that has already been turned in was in Science class where they had to build a car that would roll with ONLY food products. :errrr He got that completed and graded very well with the help of one of our neighbors who's son had to do the same project.

Well today, he is working on his English project :angry

Well Q15 is having a very rough time right now with his first reality check that everyone is not promised a long and prosperious life.

If interested keep reading - if not thanks for stopping by -

Anyone who has come to my house quickly realize my dogs think they are human. Here lately, I realized just how much human tendiences *however you spell it* they have taken on in their personailities.

If interested keep reading - if not thanks for stopping by :smile

Summer!!! The official weekend for sending off summer has just come to a close. Mind you, I know it isn't "official" by calander standards, however, this was the weekend in my youth that brought summer months of fun in the sun to a close until my toes could curl in the sand again.

Well since I didn't have the luxury of sending the summer off lying on the beach and feet in the sand, the send off wasn't a total waste. Just not my first choice of send off's :smile.

Their daughter say, especially their FOUR year old daughter!!! This morning Little Ms. Prissy Princess comes into my room and crawls up on the bed and says to me, "Mama, I don't feel so good, I think I have morning sickness from the baby in my tummy".

Talk about a brutal wake up call ~ "DO WHAT?" ~ My daughter wants a baby at the age four and tells everyone she is carrying one in her belly. :scared Needless to say I was wide awake after that little discussion. I quickly tell her honey, your tummy is just telling you that you are hungry, let me go get you some breakfast. I stumble to the kitchen and begin making breakfast only for her to follow me in there a few minutes later very proud of herself.

She is carrying one of her many baby dolls and says "See Mama, I told you I was carrying a baby, I just had her" :scared yet again.

I'm seriously starting to reconsider even letting her out of the house for school now, if she is already talking about having babies, I can just see it now ~

First day of school she announces to her teacher I'm carrying a baby in my belly!! :confused11 Yupe I can't wait for that teacher conference conversation :errrr

I'm thinking bars on the windows, homeschooling, every bell and whistle known to man going off that could wake the dead if she tries to break out of the house. You get the picture at least until she is about 50!!!

Just another day in the life in our household ~ have a great day everyone!!!

INSANITY IS HEREDITARY ~ YOU GET IT FROM YOUR KIDS!!!

Well school for Q14 started yesterday, it is so hard to believe that I have a child in high school. Little Ms. Prissy Princess is so excited about her school, but she has a bit longer to wait before they begin. I have her enrolled in a private pre-school. So we are marking off the days to the "big circle" on the calander for her first big day!!!

I have been so excited at the prospect of finally having some quiet time for a few hours every day, it wasn't until today that it dawned on me, my baby is growing up :sad. When did this happen ?

No I'm not having one of those moments where I want another one TRUST ME!!! And I have no doubt this moment will pass and probably as soon as she wakes up and starts giving her list of daily demands!! :smile

Our air is finally running full speed ahead but the heat as of late is causing the house by mid afternoon to feel like a torched oven no matter how cold it is during the evening. I dread to see our electric bill the last one was awful!!!!

Well I'm off to become a domestic goddess today, be afraid be very afraid, my house might appreciate a little bit of attention. I know my laundry room will be very happy to be up and running again :smile.

Well my darlin's, until I can find something interesting to post ~ I'm outta here for now ~ have a great day!!! But in my departure I'm going to leave you with a joke my mother n law sent me this morning. Enjoy

A woman went into a bar in Austin and saw a cowboy with
his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest
feet she'd ever seen.
The woman asked the cowboy if it's true what
they say about men with big feet.

"The woman replied, "Don't be flattered ....
take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit."

:wavey

"Who are these kids and why are they calling me Mom?"

Doing the happy dance!!!! However, tonight seemed about the only night I was able to get some good sleep going ~ then Bruno had a seziure at 1 a.m. so I'm still up making sure he is okay. He is out of it now but can't make up his mind if he wants to go outside or stay inside ~ so we are playing the revolving door game right now.

Now to news about the boys ~ Speed says that they didn't play badly at all but it didn't appear that they could get their minds into the game as a team. He also said that Q14 played better than ever and was the talk around the park. Which doesn't suprise me at all :biggrin. However, they lost their second game this a.m. in over time by one run. So today they spend the day touring St. Louis, went into the arch, out to eat and then back to the motel to pack up and get ready to head home!!! Speed and some of the other coach's decided to get some gambling in before heading home tomorrow. They will be here late tomorrow nite!!!

Little Ms. Prissy is so excited!!! She spent the afternoon at Nannie and Poppie's house so I could get some much needed scrubbing done around the house. She is such a stick tight I couldn't do it with her home as I use chemicals that are very bad for her to breath. Well bad for me to breath also but hey a housewifes job is a dangerous thing you know :smile.

I've come to the conclusion ~ I have WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much shit around this house!!! As I was dusting thinking ahhh I'm just about done, I'd turn around and walah another nook and cranny would catch my eye with more nick nacks to dust.

In my wandering around the net I ran across this article. I need this little chickey pooh in my grocery cart instead of my Little Ms. Princess. Who knows maybe I would actually have money left over when leaving the grocery store for a change instead of thinking I'm going to have to hock everything!!! :biggrin.

Well all is silent in the house again so I guess Bruno has laid down to rest finally and I'm going to join him!!!

IF YOU MUST PICK BETWEEN TWO EVILS ~ PICK THE ONE YOU'VE NEVER TRIED BEFORE!!!!!

Things are going from bad to worse!!!! ~T~ what is my "female schedule" I think I'm PMS'ing bad!!!

Little Ms. Prissy, will play and then break down into hysterics about missing Speedbump and Q14. I calm her down only for her to cop an attitude!!! :angry My sympathy of Little Ms. Prissy has reached its end as of tonight ~ I told her if she didn't go to bed and to SLEEP for a change she'd wish she had!!!! What can I say she is spoiled and is learning mama isn't the one to spoil for such a long period of time.

The dogs are velcroed to either her ass or mine 24 hours a day. I feel like the walls are closing in quickly with these four!!! Nope I'm not handling being thrown into single motherhood once again in my life. :lol

Now since I'm developing my own "pitty party", let me explain something, I don't blame Speed for this nor Q14 ~ I'm aggervated that Little Ms. Prissy is miserable missing both Speed and Q14, but more Q14 and he is AWFUL to her!!! Even when he talked to her on the phone today he got her screaming and crying because he was being his same old mean self!!! Ohhhhh I've got mean for Q14 when he gets home TRUST ME!!!! I'm being nice and letting him get away with murder right now, for the "good of the team", however, when he comes home WATCH OUT!!!

Poor Speed, he is miserable, everytime he talks to Ms. Prissy she bawls begging him to come home or at least come get us to be with him. Speed can't deny Little Ms. Prissy anything, hell last night I swear if he had a vechile there he'd had driven back here to get her and drove back. It is sad really sad!!!

Now to news about the team ~ today they played a Ft. Worth team that they killed in other tournaments while here ~ however Q14's attitude seems to be dripping through all the team players for the first game. However, Q14 hit a ball out of the ball park scoring the team three point runs. But, Q14 lost the game by being cockey and lost the ball to keep the other team scoring the winning run. They lost 6 to 5.

Speed swears this was the best thing that could have happened to them in the first game, since they are only doing qualifications right now for the "placement" in the tournament. Speed says that they were out there cockey, sure of themselves and didn't play to their ability. Now that they lost to a team they've stomped over and over ~ the kids have an attitude adjustment and are ready to as they say "PLAY BALL".

We'll see they have two games tomorrow ~ I'll keep you posted :biggrin.

Well I'm off to bed ~ Have a great night and day everyone!!!! Thanks for listening to me blow off steam ~ I had more I could say but well ~ some things are better left unsaid :biggrin!!!

IF IT WEREN'T FOR STRESS I'D HAVE NO ENERGY AT ALL

Into this week long seperation of half the family and all I have to say for this seperation is :wtf was I THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The "boys" get on the road yesterday around noon'ish ~ Little Ms. Prissy did very well yesterday actually ~ I was thinking hey this is going to be a walk in the park. Yet, somehow, call it mama's gut feeling, this was going to turn into a nightmare.

It began about time to go to bed ~ or soon as night fall was upon us ~ we've spent the day in the pool, we've played outside, I actually allowed playdo in my house for the first time since her birth, she played non stop in complete silence, we ate a nice dinner and then snuggled and watched cartoon's together. It got late, as I let her stay up later than usual, so I began the whole time for bed sweetie.

*shaking head* ~ the water works begin!!!! I want my Daddy and Q14 ~ they should be home by now mama ~ *rolling eyes* ~ me reminding her no sweetie they are gone to a place far away ~ we call Daddy, she cries with him, he gets her laughing, and she says "yes daddy I'll go to bed I promise I wv u". Hands me the phone and goes to bed. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh yes!!! I'm so happy!!!!!

I tell hubby goodnite and get the dogs taken care of and head off to bed ~ I was tired!!! I'm in bed the house is silent and then there is a noise unheard by any human ear and my dogs come out of their coma's and bark, growl, bow up, and begin to pace. First upon my body, then through the house and then GAWD FORBID on Little Ms. Prissy!!!

Two seconds later I hear wild scream coming from Little Ms. Prissy's room. I couldn't get my feet on the floor fast enough only to run smack dab into Little Ms. Prissy screaming I MISS MY DADDY TELL HIM TO COME HOME NOW ~ she was hysterical ~ the dogs pasing the house grawling snorting ~ I finally calm everyone down but only briefly as that was the constant dilema of my night!!!

Then about 30 minutes after that, Little Ms. Prissy wanders into my room, crying again, saying "Daddy is going to miss work mama and all his friends here with us he has to come home NOW ~ call him and tell him NOW mama NOW" Uggghhhhhhhhhh ~ this isn't going so well people!!!

Tonight isn't looking any better, except Little Ms. Prissy isn't crying for her daddy any longer she is just not cooperating any longer :angry!!! My dogs are still acting the same way ~ they feel like they are Tarzan ~ they are men and hear them grawl and let me tell ya they are working it really well at the moment.

At least for NOW I have Little Ms. Prissy in bed and I'm watching "Bill Cosby Himself" on HBO and laughing ~ OMG it is so true!!! So I'm enjoy at least this breif moment in silence before I head off to bed!!!

Update on the team ~ their first game is Sunday at noon ~ they traveled all the way to St. Louis to play their first team in this 14 Year Old World Series from FT. WORTH TEXAS!!!! :lol

Well Q14 is really having a great time ~ he has already found him a wee bit of a girlfriend. *rolling eyes* And mama isn't there to supervise ~ hubby isn't keeping that close of an eye on him :angry ~ this will change SOON!!!

We still have a week of this ~ hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it will be interested to see who lives through this "seperation" :lol Can you tell our family doesn't do much without all of us involved? And we never are seperated at night time this is sad huh? :biggrin. Ahhhhh, a cute site, wish I had the camera, but Little Ms. Prissy is finally asleep *note at midnight*, but found one of her daddy's shirts and put it on and is snuggling with it ~ I guess the little tyriant really misses her daddy and is snuggling with the stuffed dog Q14 won for her at the fair ~ aaahhhhhhh ain't that sweet !!! I need a vacation I'm getting sentamentail!!!!

SOME DAYS ARE A WASTE OF MAKE UP

Well :gmorning everyone!!! I must say this morning is the best I've felt in WEEKS!!! Hopefully it will continue and the worst is behind me :smile.

I'm enjoying my morning coffee in silence. I forgot how wonderful silence could be in a house. Hubby is off to work, the dogs are snoring, the kids are snoring and mama is having some much needed "quality" time to herself. Ahhhhhhh this feels great!!!! I must enjoy it while I can as in about 30 minutes Little Ms. Prissy Princess will be up giving her daily list of demands and silence will be no longer. As she'll wake up the dogs and they'll grumble, she'll wake up Q14 in the rudest of actions (by yelling in his ear) and he'll grumble loudly. She'll run through the house screaming "Mama, Q14 is being mean to me, go spank his butt". And within in 35 minutes I'll be ready to pull my hair out :biggrin.

Well last night was the begining of the tournament that was not suppose to happen. Hubby couldn't call home fast enough to inform me ~ See honey, you got all mad and rude for nothing they lost and we are done with this team. :uhoh3 MEN :pummel he just doesn't get WHY I was mad!!! Anyhoot, just thought I'd keep you informed.

Now as you can tell I have nothing intellictual *however you spell it* to discuss and aren't you please nothing to bitch about either :biggrin. However, in my time spent this morning I figured I catch up on the news online ~ I read where the reality show For Love Or Money ~ aired it's last show and the guy picked his woman, who then picked the million dollars. He went home without a dime, no job and wandering the streets of Dallas I'd persume. Then the woman instead of leaving well enough alone and being happily wealthy ~ gave up the million to sign on for the next show to try and win TWO MILLION. Greedy bitch is all I have to say :lol. I'd have stuck with the million. I also read where the guy was a bit suprised that the woman choose the $$$ instead of him ~ :hum "IDIOIT" is all I have to say ~ I'd have taken the money and been happy!!!!

I heard on TV yesterday, that Big Brother is about to air, now this one sounds MORE than a bit comical!!! Not only have they picked the group who will be locked in a house together what they DON'T know is that the producer's are also moving in some of their "Ex's". That is setting up a murder scene if ever I saw a good plot for one!! Could you imagine :lol!!!

Well tiz all I have to ramble about ~ sorry to have bored you ~ have a wonderful day everyone :sun_smiley

:groupwave

I HAVE NOT LOST MY MIND ~ IT IS BACKED UP ON THE SERVER ~ AND THE NETWORK IS DOWN AGAIN!!!!!

Well, we survived the sleep over from ages 14 to 4. However, I swear NEVER AGAIN!!!! The boys had the phone permentally attached to their ear, talking to this girl and that girl ~ :errrr. The 4 year olds we decided to wear them out and keep them in the pool until they couldn't swim anymore :smile. Feed them and put them to bed.

Speedbump was proud of that accomplishment that was short lived. He walked into our room and said they are down for the count and before he could turn around to walk out the girls were standing behind him wanting this and wanting that ~ this lasted until almost 2 am :angry.

Finally sleep ~ I'm in sweet slumber snuggling with one of my dogs when I get tapped on my head. I just figured Bruno was stretching and I ignored it and hunkered down further in my bed when I get a harder tap on my head and hear this voice ~ MAMA WAKE UP!!! UUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH I crack an eye and look at both girls standing there smiling and then try and focus on my alarm clock only to see it reads 5 AM ~ :wtf???????????????

So I kick Speedbump tell him his daughter wants him :smile. He snores ~ snorts ~ begins talking about "no that isn't the correct number for that phone here let me check" ~ I know I'm in trouble then but figured at least he isn't talking to some woman about ohhh man that's my wife :lol. But at 5 AM I still found no humor he wouldn't wake up!!!

So I get Little Ms Prissy and her friend to walk back to her room put them back in bed and tell them it is way too early go back to sleep ~ somehow find my way back to my bed, crawl in and doze off.

Thirty minutes later ~ the tapping on my head begins followed with MAMA WAKE UP the :sun_smiley is up. I just mumble yeah and I'm happy for it but MAMA ISN'T!!! :errrr

Well they won needless to say ~ I got up fixed breakfast slaming pots and pans as loudly as I could and still no stiring from the bedroom to rise Speedbump only noise coming out of that room was snoring :angry.

I got the girls settled, feed and watching TV so I curl up with a book and begin reading as I have no energy to take on the task of cleaning the destroyed house from so many kids.

It gets later in the morning ~ I walk in the bedroom with a nice glass of ice water ~ nudge Speedbump and give him an option of which way he'd like to wake up :smile this nice way or a nice cold shower in bed :biggrin. He opted for the first ~ got up and told the girls ~ lets go swimming!!!! So we spent the rest of the day ~ them in the pool and me barely awake laying beside it.

After we were left with only our children for the night ~ me snuggled up in bed reading ~ Speed decided to dink around on the computers :angry ~ another story for another day ~ he managed after several hours to get them back up and running but not without me bitching and moaning the whole time telling him WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!! :angry. Anyhoot!!!!

I'm off to my domestic goddess duties :smile.

I'M A LUXURY FEW CAN AFFORD

I think I have finally lost my mind!!! :smile No comments from the peanut gallery :lol

I have to get my post in now since my night is going to turn into a wild one ~ not only does Q14 have friends over hormones a blazing ~ Little Ms. Prissy Princess has friends over for the night as well :scared

Well I have nothing more to enlighted everyone with ~ figured after hubby's outragous post last night ~ I'd give the whole noun, adjective, verb'ing, stories a rest :smile.

However, I have something I'd like to share with everyone ~ this was sent to me today and it hit home ~ thought I'd share.

Enjoy and have a better night than what I'm in for :lol

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two

1. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you
cry.
2. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
3. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your
heart.
4. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing
you can't have them.
5. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling
in love with your smile.
6. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the
world.
7. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their
time on you.
8. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right
one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be
grateful.
9. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
10. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do
is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time
around.
11. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and
know someone else and expect them to know you.
12. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

With school only a little over a week left in session things have been busy to say the least with all the normal boring issues. It also didn't help Q14 getting into a great deal of trouble recently either that I mentioned in a previous post.......

Well today, they had the awards cermony, as Q14 moves into another school next year ~ he obtained THE PRESIDENT'S EDUCATION AWARD for outstanding Academic Acievement. Having a proud mama moment :smile

Enjoying the moment ~ breathing it in ~ because that moment was quickly lost due to his later actions :angry.

He, understandably so, comes home from the school awards and then later dance, walking on cloud 9. He has him a girlfriend ~ still haven't figured out why he waits all year till the end to obtain a girlfriend ~ guess it is just to make my summer more hetic ~ anyhoot ~ he begged me to let him go to dinner with a group of his friends. I question him with their be adults with you? Yes, mama I swear mama. I asked what adults ~ he amazingly can't tell me ~ so the whole family loads up and heads off to dinner :smile.

We sit in another section to give him privacy but when I go over to the table to find out how much longer he is going to be ~ guess what NO PARENTS!!! Which I suspected in the first place!!!

I waited till he got in the car before I blew my gasket on him ~ my parents called and my daddy just laughed and told Q14 ~ you poor guy ~ you are trying things your mother tried, accomplished and profected who are you trying to fool.

However, this having a girlfriend thing has lit a fire under his Q14 ass to begin cleaning up things without being told, ironing his clothes HIMSELF *passing out*, once finished all of his chores he imposed upon himself :smile, making mama happy ~ the bomb shell hits ~ "Mom can she come over this weekend?"

I'm really too young for this I have to be!!!! And as they say ~The fun begins ~

SMILE AND THE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU ~ SNORE AND YOU SLEEP ALONE

Is not happy today!! Slept well last night, however, sleep did not come quickly once I picked up my book to read ~ I'm so addictied to John Grisham!!! Anyhoot, moving along ~

Monday morning I am rudely awaken by the sound of that annoying alarm clock and my body was slow to rise as I was so warm by my snuggling dogs and they grunted almost as loudly as I did when that awful sound intrupted our sleepless wonder.

The day has not progressed any better since this morning ~ it is over cast here ~ great reading/sleeping weather, but the Domestic Goddess that I am *HA HA* has had to kick into over drive, bitching the whole way along.

Can anyone tell me how to rid myself of those laundry room bunnies who seem to keep reproducing no matter how much I do laundry and "THINK" I have it done only to wake in the morning to find MORE to do. I HATE Laundry!!!!

And I'm still trying to figure out why in the state of Texas no matter how often you dust, you walk out of the room thinking you've accomplished something, you walk back in and see dust building yet again GGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!

Last night before going to bed, I finally found Little Ms. Prissy's floor, with no help from her mind you!! And was rather pleased with myself to also find Mr. Q 14 year old 's floor. Only to walk in their rooms this morning and again can not find the floor ~ have they not picked up on the saying "If Mama ain't happy NO ONE is happy!!" Hubby sure does because he couldn't shower, dress and depart to work fast enough this morning....

Well now that I've bored you shitless I'm going to show you a little picture of my little darlin's taken Easter Sunday ~ they are so cute in this picture so why can't they help keep things straighted up? *sniffle* My pitty party is over for now anyways *S* I"m off to rescue Little Ms. Prissy's blanket from the evil washing machine before she has a stroke!!! Gawd forbid the blanket get a much needed bath!!!

Well in my house that would be pick or choose, as I have four dogs, with four legs for all the smart asses out there, that are very over weight who need excercise. Outside of the huffing and puffying along the fence line that they are the "men" in the neighborhood, spoiled beast wouldn't know how to act unless they were fighting one another gezzzz.........typical male species is all I have to say!!!

So me and the chosen one of the day are now exercising regularly to get at least mama fit and in shape for the upcoming summer for BIKINI WEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm done posting for the night probably day, since I promised the Birthday girl, I'd show her how to bake a cake today....yes people I've gone MAD!!!!!! We celebrate her birthday with a housefull of kids and adults on the 8th but tomorrow is her official date of gracing us in this world.......as a matter of fact as I'm typing this, I think back and remember, I was on the cell phone with my daddy, on the way to the hospital laughing, aka since she was early, saying "Yes Daddy This is IT do you REALLY WANT DETAILS???".........him coming out of a deep sleep saying "ummm no, we'll be there by late tomorrow night just keep her in...." YEAH RIGHT.......NOT!!!!!!!!! They showed up as he said, little Ms. Prissy Princess already here, apple of her "PAPA's" eye......not to mention mama's too......

Happy Birthday my little princess bitch.....mama loves ya!!!!

I Yell Because I Care

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!!!

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

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?

Just wonderful let me tell ya. Little Ms. Prissy Pot now has this nasty cold, flu or whatever it is running ramped in our home. She was up half the night because she couldn't breath and she was trying so hard to hear me, but since my voice is barely working and her head stopped up ~ communication lacked terribly.

My snuggle babies aka the dogs helped to keep me warm while having the chills, but she won't have any part of them in her bed. Screams bloody murder "Mom, they are making me sick, make them leave". I personally think hubby is anxious to get to work today. Spending all weekend playing nurse to me, cleaning the house, doing laundry, all the cooking he needs to go to work to get a vacation.

When letting out the snuggle babies this am I felt the blast of cold air still hovering around our neck of the woods :angry. I thought the weather man said it was to warm up again humpf WHEN?

Little Ms. Prissy has taken her medicine and now laying back down hopefully she'll drift back off to sleep so mama can get back under some warm blankets tucked in by all my dogs and get some rest too before I have to get up and start my week progress of cleaning ~ yeah boy howdy I feel up to doing just that NOT! But it is something that must be done I'm afraid.

Just hung up with my daddy to find out that my mama got a certified letter today. This particular letter was to inform her that she has been nominated for Teacher of the year. As well as there were six winners and she is one of the six winners!!!

I've always known that she deserved this honor but now she got confirmation yet again in her carrer as a teacher. She has won this honor several other times in her over 30 years of teaching, but with all that has gone on the past several months, I think she really needed a boost in her ego and views on life!!!

As the title says I'm having a very proud daughter moment!!!

HA and to think I know you were thinking my kids!!!! :rofl

Ohhh well, they'll come later, when in better standing with mama!!! :smile

Here are three of the babies in question of the seven.....not I'm including children, dogs, and hubby on the seven!!!!!

The first photo says it all.....Here is Charlie......I obtained Charlie by default actually....he is a registered Shar Pai male dog. Not the baby via years in this house, but the baby via pecking order.

He was abused before wandering into my garage after a tornato. He is my baby!!! He is very protective of me and my youngest and very loyal....oh well all my dogs are very loyal, but Charlie I have no doubt, you'd have to kill him before you could get to either me or my youngest child.

Here is Charlie.......on my side of the bed no less......but now by my feet while I am typing this .......AIN'T HE CUTE!!!!

Now we move on to Bruno, my black lab, who I have raised from a puppy. When I lived in NC, a friend came by asking if I'd dog sit. Okay I thought no problem I love dogs. Little did I know what I was taking on, which is eveident, since now he is an adult black lab, and very much in my care still.

I refer to Bruno as the sap of the family, he loves everyone, but if he feels the "family" is threatened, well LOOK OUT, it gets ugly!!!

I helped nurse him through parvo, at a young age, and now he has obtained Epalipsy, so is on medication. I am constantly working my life around his medication, trips, I make sure stress level is as low as possible for him and someone is here at all times. He's my baby too you know....anyways here is Bruno, in his loyal spot, whenever I'm on the computer....

Now to my "geriatric dog", the love of my life in animals, my Dustin!!! He is a registered Cocker Spaniel whom has lived to date 17 years. Still can see, barely, hear, sometimes, and was just dignoised 6 months ago with kidney failure and according to the vet should not be still alive.

Dustin is male, so he has selective hearing and seeing capablities let me tell ya, because when I took this photo of him tonight, he heard me click the camera open, perked up out of a sound sleep and began standing up before I could click the picture. Typical male!!!

His last check up, the vet was astounded, looked at me and said, "When I died, I want to come back as one of your pet's". The vet told me that although Dustin would eventually die of old age, he was in amazingly good health for 17 years of age, which is unseen in cocker spaniels, and that his kidney failure is a slow process but non painful for him. I could NOT live knowing Dustin was in ANY pain.

Here is my Dustin baby!!!

My fourth dog, Chance, chow/collie mix, whom I refer to as the "gay dog", was sound asleep with his master my oldest child. So I refrained from taking his picture tonight....maybe later.....

As far as my children and hubby, well, I have multipule of photo's of them so I guess you need to stay toned to see the snow captions of my youngest and oldest in a snowball fight with thier Aunt. Thank God we don't get snow in Texas is all I have to say!!!!

Hope you enjoyed ~ good day!!!

And it is illegal to kill 'em!! :angry

Not that I ever would, but days like today my nerves are trompled on hard, so the cutiness they have has long since worn off today.

My youngest latest trick she discovered today is locking doors and decided to excersie this new found talent while I was checking the mail and she locked me out of the house.

The clincher of this new found talent of hers is that she doesn't know how to UNLOCK them!!!

I had to have her go to the front windows and unlock them so I could shemie them up to crawl through ~

Can anyone say NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!
