That Just Sucks

Think I've cured myself of my addiction to romance novels. Just hit me that they all have their happily ever afters........where there is no such thing. Each chapter begins, then ends, and another begins.Time to dig out the murder mysteri...

Reality Check

So I've reached the point in maturity where I really don't give a shit........about much of anything. If it doesn't revolve around my family or my house......nah......not really caring.So the response to my trying to post a sign at work that said "I have a headache, please shhhh, shut up" resulted in them leaving me noise cancellation headphones this morning on my desk.Silence is golden.I'm one rich b*tch right now pee...

Score!

We survived.........almost. We're not completely out of the woods, but today I managed to get back to work (I actually missed my little cubbie/office). Princess seems to finally be on the mend and things are slowly going back to normal......how do I know this?They are fighting again. Most girls just sass and scream, mine........well mine kick and push. Totally Dave's fault, he's the roughhouser in the household not me.But thanks to mom/brother who stepped in the first couple of days to assist with one sickly Princess, one jealous and needed Duchess and one sleep deprived living off caffine me....

Countdown to Insanity....

My pre-op baby. She loved the hat and booties. Was great even when they started working on the IV, started freaking when Nurse Hatchet blew a vein, but the amno guy stepped in. Several hours later, trying to smile for her Mims. Rootbeer popcycle and morphine. Interesting combo.....This kid came out of amno fighting!! Alligator rolls and all. Gets that aggressiveness from her daddy. Things pretty rough around here, but Dave is flying in early to give me a hand. I might even shower then, woo...

Duchess rocks again

Duchess has never been interested in really well anything. She is her own planet, and I just love that about her. No peep pressure for her so far, nope. Beats her own drum, all that jazz. Well during this past week with our obsession over softball (and my aching, well everything) she decided to give it a try. After she beat the ever loving crap out of the tball stand, we gave up and started pitching to her.N-A-T-U-R-A-LShe started right handed because her mom's an idiot who forgets that she's a...

Dreams

I had the best dream last night.... then I woke up.Moss was swaying from the trees, the grass on the sides of the road was thick, lush green, the town was old fashioned and a little run down, you could smell honeysuckle in the air. Kids played in yards, and a high school football game was gearing up in heat.I hate Ut...

Walking on Faith

It's not easy to blindside me.Over the years my optimism has been dwindling. I tend to look for the worst possible thing/trait/route at from the start now. I hate that. But I struggle to see my glass as half full.Got blindsided. My basket is full and I'm worried about dropping an egg or two, or dozen.I keep thinking that the Lord will show me the path we need to be on, especially since the new year we've had one blow after another. Yet, just when I throw my hands in the air and kick a wall thinking that I've hit my limit........another blow.July has been a doosey of a month.Princess is having...

Pooped

I'm done.Sore from a three day weekend of playing ball, cooking, eating and dealing with Princess' upcoming surgery. Bye bye tonsils!Yet not ready to get back to the grind....I'm so ready to retire. Why can't I retire when I'm young so I can get caught up on everything? Have some fun in the sun without body wrinkles and old lady face?Today I sat down and tried to carve out time for a daily devotional and exercise.Which is why I ate three pieces of strawberry shortcake! No contr...

Come 2 Momma!

Thank you Pioneer Woman, while browsing through your extensive recipe list, I came across one that I needed. Oh I needed it like RIGHT NOW.But I tweaked it some. I made homemade gluten free bread first. Then I sauteed some mushrooms and onions in some yummy yummy low fat butter (snicker). Then added some bacon. And some spinach....... Then I put twice as many tomatoes........oh yeah.Then smothered it all in the homemade sauce. And sat outside the oven watching patiently. The smell, oh my gawd, the...

In Passing....with Duchess

This kid cracks me up........I passed her in the hall this morning as I was stumbling myself back to the shower and she was tugging on a light pink "Earth day" shirt while already wearing a pink, orange and red striped skirt.Her response to my "look".....?"Well I've always had the best taste in clothes. " Snap!Two hours later, I'm reading the news at the bar and she is digging in the dishwasher for a cup. She lifted the sifter and wants to know what it's for.Explained that it was for sifting flour."Wow, it gets the honey out of the flowers?"So while I was scratching my head trying to figure that...

Happy No Work Day

So what did you do with your "gimme" day, you know the "holiday falls on the weekend therefore you get the Friday before off" day.....?Besides cleaning my entire house (geez, 10 hours later and you can't tell at all), shopping for the holiday party tomorrow, I did the playday thing. Duchess went to play and I got Princess' best friend (same family peeps, that is totally the way to roll!).So I took advantage of having two 10 year olds...... see once upon a time I was nuts about softball. Once upon...
