OMG hee hee snort gasp

Do you mind if I contact your exes? Other women seem to find it so easy to get over you, and I would love to know their secret.My body clock still wakes me up at two every night in anticipation of your drunk dials.I cried so much when you left, it traumatized the cat.The second I saw you, I decided we were getting married. I was 11. Years later, I’m still in love with you, and you’re in prisonAfter three years of searching, I finally found someone exactly like you. She doesn’t love me either.Sorry I was so distant the last two years of our relationship. I was trying to figure a way outIf he had...

Home Sweet Home

So I'm using my weekends to not only catch up on housework, laundry and homework but also to do some of the little house improvement things I've wanted to for so long.Like Princess' room: now that she is getting older, she needs a little style, a little coolness, a little "my mom is not quite the dork she seems" so we're working on that. Since her comforter, you know the big girl one she picked out last year, is chocolate with pink and yellow accents we bought a bunch of various sized black frames. Then I painted them all chocolate brown. Now we're filling them to actually put some color on her...

There's Something Wrong With Me.....

My man is coming home next weekend for a visit. And honestly it's about time cause I'm starting to crack up. I'm losing it........I used to be cool. I spent my time alone (when I was 101% sure no one was watching) singing and dancing like a nut to Grease........the all time of my all time corny favorites....... And now......well corny has reached a whole new level.Busting dancing and singing with the laundry in the basement by the kids........to well I can't even say it. Obviously as I get closer...

Not Smiling Anymore

Poor Duchess is sick, and can't go back to school till the fevers go away. And they ain't going anywhere, damnit!So gotta figure out how best to write that email:"Can I bring sick Duchess to work today?"or"Send work and Dr. Pepper, home with sick Duchess today"or how about"I've told you that I have kids right? Well........"Sigh...........looks like however I write it, I'll be working remotely while watching Disney and fetching snot rags and tea for her all day.I kinda like the idea, she's awful...

Bang Head Here

Last week my computer broke, well okay honestly the space bar and the K button broke. So before taking it into work to be worked on I moved all my school files onto a jump drive as I really didn't want the IT guy reading my papers. Boring that they are, I use alot of personal and/or work experience in them so yeah, not putting myself out there.Then he replaced the frame and sent it home with me.And I lost the jump.So 10 recent classes of work...........lost. Which wouldn't be a big deal since those classes are over, except my new psych class is drawing on alot of the other psych class. Meaning...

Be honest........

So I finally finished my latest painting. Took six months cause until today, I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. But today, wham! finished it in 10 minutes. Didn't even let it dry before I hung it on the wall.I think it's the best work I've done yet.And yet, it's obvious that painting is NOT my talent.I'll keep looking for that talent, but for now.......would you hang it in your house?I'm bracing for honesty here.....

The Many Styles of Princess

Princess and I took advantage of Duchess' going to bed at 7 p.m. last night to have some mom/daughter fun time. We decided to do a collage of pics for her room. I'm just loving this kid, such a great girl!!! Not to mention I think she's adorable.My honor roll student who has overcome reading issues to be in the top of her class. Who dropped dance, even though she was impressive in a tutu to join karate last July. She's now a purple belt, dedication is the word there.Who has stepped up to the plate...

opps

This morning work was interrupted when I got a phone call from the fence guys, who were finalizing my posts, concrete and all that jazz.OppsWhat do you mean opps? Well it seems while laying the posts along the back prop line they hit a sprinkler line and destroyed it with the mechanical digger. Not cool, but before I could have a freak out, I remember.......I don't have sprinklers or grass in the backyard yet.WTF?Turns out the neighbor behind me has her sprinkler lines running on my side of the property line.Can you imagine how that conversation went?Hee hee snort snort g...

Goodie, Goodie

I got home to the best surprise! My fence posts are in! Not entirely cemented in as they are obviously not done but woo to the hoo baby (I'm stealing that phrase, loooove it) cause I can totally see it in my head completely finished. It's beautiful, not to mention that once the boundary lines were set up, I totally have 75% of that backyard, sorry neighbor! Kinda sucks for you, but rocks for me.Biology is officially over, yet still no final grades. That teacher that I gave NOT so good feedback on hasn't graded the last three assignments so we are stuck. Meanwhile Accounting III and Psych 2022...

A Day in the Life...at Hope4Grace

So the day before The Man headed south, way freaking south, we celebrated Valentine's Day. So basically we all admired Daddy's new gun, loved on the dog, ate chocolate till we couldn't move and watched John Wayne all day........it was great........... Princess totally busted in the act of letting Murphy have chocolate, her punishment was to give momma all her "turtles" from her See's bag. See me be the big bad parent? Please don't notice the hangers on the floor, but please DO notice he's wearing...

Busy Beaver

While The Man is away, I am busy. Today I managed to finally drop off my precious Jade at the repair shop to have her front end done, a boob job of sorts for my car. If you remember The Man slid into another car back when Nanny was visiting, in an ice storm.So imagine my surprise when the rental company (Not Enterprise this time, the creeps) gave me a decent rental car. Not only did it have all the necessary hubcaps, it is purty! And fast! And new! Duchess and I went shopping to celebrate.... Even...

Bandaid

I'm ripping the bandaid off slowly........The Man "resigned from his post" today. Seriously that is what he told them when he turned in his resignation and they told him that he didn't have to come back (cause they be cool like that). So bye bye fabrication lab that made my man wear spaceman suits and work 12 hour shifts. Bye Bye to a job that he was completely over.The Man has taken a job in Texas. He starts next week.He'll be working outdoors doing what he loves and mixing hard labor with brain power.

And I Keep Blabbing...

In three days time I should be able to finally address everything that's been clouding up my head, stressing me the farge out and stalling plans of all size.Murphy had his boy surgery yesterday and we wound up canceling dinner plans to stay at home with our pooch. He was drugged and confused and wanting to lick at his stuff. So we coned him, for 5 minutes. Then he couldn't lay down, couldn't move. So he sat and stared at the wall, watching a drug induced movie that no one else could see. So The Man slept in the livingroom with him to keep him from jumping on the bed and opening stitches. I was...

Updates Galore...

This week was Parent/Teacher conference week. Woohoo, great times. So I drug myself in there for Duchess' conference yesterday, and was floored. My precious chatterbox six year year old, passed her reading test with flying colors, can count to 250 and has her letters down. Only areas she needs to work on: handwriting and sounding out her words better. Very social and happy girl.Then today I drug myself to Princess' conference. My kid is brilliant and bright and happy and anxious. Yep, you read that...
