Night & Day

There is so much truth to this statement, night and day. When I had my second little girl, I was warned by too many people that they would be night and day. Be prepared. So I wasn't prepared for hell on wheels. Just really never gave it a second thought. What the hell was I thinking? Aren't your elders always right? Duh? Well now I have two distinctly different kids. They are truly night and day.Princess is my emotional, thoughtful, sensative kid. Yeah she talks alot but the kid is my heart. She...

Much Ado About Hair

I always forget to make time to do things I need to do for me:ie: Haircuts, annual dr. visits, clothes and deoSo I'm so very proud of myself for scheduling a hair appointment for me and Princess tomorrow after work. The lady who cuts us is a wonder! Anywhere else but here, she would be a $75 cut, here she works from home two days a week cause she is a full time mom with five kids. Wow, that alone deserves more than $20 a cut. But I'll bask in that misfortune cause I'm cheap. And proud of being cheap.So now I'm faced with a personal decision. I hate those.Seriously, I can do financial decisions,...

Pissy Poop Face

It has occured to me that perhaps I should try and put positive things about me on my blog. However, they are never as fun. Plus I think it's important to face your faults, or in my case, all three thousand of them. So this should come as no surprise to anyone, I'm a sore loser.By this I don't mean that I can't stand to lose, I mean that I lose with such graceless name-calling, fit throwing essence that I really shouldn't be allowed to do anything constructive or that involves competition.Last night, The Man and I had some unexpected downtime. So we dug out the board games I bought at Christmas....

I Can Never Shop There Again

Once again, life is never simple in this house. Last night we left the house to go and attempt to purchase a air compressor. See The Man is handy and he fixes all our cars and household problems. Well he has to replace the seal gasket on something in his hunting rig, so that means pulling the tranny and getting down to business. Seriously he's saving us hundreds by doing it himself. I love him.So off we go after work in both vehicles, his single cab truck and my car. Cause we don't all fit in his truck, yet we wanted to use it to pick up the air compressor before we sold it. Cause who needs three...

Dear Lord....

Thank you for the many many blessing that you have given me.Thank you for my happy, healthy children who make me smile even when the rest of my day sucks.Thank you for the husband who loves me no matter what.....and calls to wake me up and tell me to put out the garbage cans on a day that isn't garbage day.Thank you for not letting the neighbors see me without pants when I was dragging those cans to the curb.Thank you for my job, the security it brings and the happiness that the fridge full of free Dr. Peppers that keep me sane and on a continual buzz.Thank you for my paycheck and for J.C. Penney's....

The Beat goes on...

Just because mom is sick doesn't mean the world stops. The Man gets very grumpy when I'm down and tends to say "If you'd get better, this wouldn't happen...." to everything. So I spend alot of time asleep, hiding in my room with my books. The best part about being sick is overhearing everything that is going on around me.....All overheard within the past 72 hours.....*No mommy is not going to the hospital, she is sick. NO, NO SURGERY!*I don't think you can wear a dress to school...it's 13 degrees outside....how do I know where your tights are? Do you own any? Fine, where would they be? If I were...

Painful Separation

This past week, my mom and the photo-elusive stepdad moved into their own place in town. The lucky duckies now live right off main street and can walk to everywhere I dream about on a regular basis. So in between finishing the holidays, returning to work and school, we've been packing and helping them move.Since The Man borrowed some friends for the heavy lifting, I was able to coax them into moving my whole office (desk, equip, bookshelves full of trashy romance novels and etc) back down to the basement, that was empty again. This meant unhooking and losing wireless connection in my house. I've...
