My Joey

Princess is 15. She's a happy 15. She's also very vested in the family which means that while she's starting to pull away from us in certain areas, she's still close to us in others. While there are girls in her school posting pictures of cleavage, questionable body parts and inappropriate wording all over their social media, my kid working hard to get her grades up, prep for softball, help out at home and find her own footing outside of that "normal" world. I worry that it will be hit us soon, that one day she'll join the ranks of the undesirable teen but for now, she's my Joey. The kid has...

D's.... not boobs either

So Princess walked in my house with a D in English. Now I do realize that we're having huge issues with the English teacher.... who buy the way, managed to have "the janitor throw away ALL graded papers from the ENTIRE semester before ANYBODY saw them". So Prin isn't the only one doing poorly, however... life isn't fair. At all. Not fair. So guess what, she's gonna do the time anyway. So keeping in mind the circumstances that the D came with, I'm allowing her to keep her drivers permit. I'm allowing her to keep her phone and electronics. However, she's grounded from hanging with friends until...

Update.... two years too late

So since I'm degre-ed out the arse and am running my store while still consulting, it has come to my attention that my Linkedin profile picture is a little dated. Taken over two years ago when my company was doing bios on management, my little black and white headshot was my favorite picture ever. I looked fantastic in my humble opinion.... cause it was professionally edited too! But sadly, I'm no longer black haired and I have aged in over two years so I gotta update... I finally put it off and...

Bad Murther&^%$%^&

It was a long long day. I've managed to slowly drag myself through my week. My surgery is this Wed and frankly it can't come soon enough. So freaking hurting. However there have been setbacks.... driving is painful at this point.... but I can't brag enough on my husband. This poor bastard has hugged me when I just wanta cry cause I hurt. He chastises the kids when I have to do laundry or chores because they aren't helping enough. He orders dinner when I don't look like I have energy. Seriously, I am so freaking blessed in my husband. He's my person. I really need to work on being a most awesome...

Accomplished

I got some serious shit done today. Let's see.... I finally picked up those jeans I dropped off to get hemmed two months ago. I managed to drop off bills for mail. I tracked down my kid a winter softball camp at a local college (local is a very loose term here, it's about two hours away). So every Sunday afternoon I'll be driving her over so they can work her to the bone. Well we'll get her ready for the high school softball tryouts one way or another.... cause with my shoulder, there is no softball in future for a long time. She's up against a little problem making the high school team. It's...

Damn, I'm rebudgeting

We pay for A's. Don't judge us. We get the A's we want, lol. However, we overplayed out freaking hand today. We ended up owing the litle one $350. Yeah, we're not paying her $50 per A again.  So today I got to order her an American Girl doll. Because within reason, she could spend her money how she saw fit. She wanted a look alike doll. With earrings and glasses and a cute outfit and and and that fucker was $178 freaking American freaking dollars.  Yeah, she's only getting $25 per A from now on.  ...

Day 2... I almost Juiced the dog... I'm starving

I'm sooooooooooo freaking hungry. Yum yum. So for breakfast, I had a fruity juice. It was great. I own more fresh fruit than anyone else I know. Seriously.   So this is my sweet new toy. The uber doober juicer. This bad beast is the shit. Yes, that is romaine, sweet potatoes, apples, blood oranges, and bananas. Not to be gross, but I'm peeing so much! Lord help me, but I'm in the potty constantly. My pee was bright green at one point. Holy crap can somebody pat me on the back...

Stand By Watch

I'm sitting here wondering how in the world I have come to this. I have absolutely no will power. Plus my husband watches a shit load of infomercials. We are juicing. His brother has been doing it. Got back into shape quickly. God help me. Today is our first day. I just drank my first meal. Kale, apples, strawberries, pineapple, celery, cucumbers. It was actually really good. For an appetizer. Ready for the main course. Which apparently will be a full dinner. We're trying a juice breakfast...
