Blog Neglect

OK, so I apologize for being a shitty blogger! But the last 2 weeks have been mad crazy around here. Everything is pretty much done on the inside of the house. Painting is done (except for a few things), doors are hung, and rooms are in order. Now the outside, that's a different story. We have done some minor cleanups aka picking up cigarette butts that the asshole before us left (now I am not discriminating against smokers, I am one, but I refuse to use the land as my ashtray. This jerk used the driveway as one big ashtray!), and we have done a little raking to cleanup some debris (weeds, piles of crap), but the major stuff is yet to be done. 3 acres is allot of land to take care of, and I refuse to let it look like shit. So the next few years will be allot of work. There's allot of trash scattered about, so weekends are going to be full of fun filled trash pickup duty.

But anyways.....I haven't gotten to taking pics of the outside yet, but I will, I swear! lol I didn't get any before pics of the house due to the fact that I am an idiot, and didn't charge my camera before I packed the charger! lol So when I went to actually do it, I found my camera to be dead and the box the charger was in was amongst piles and piles of shit. And I didn't bother to try to go through it, cause I am lazy like that. So anyways, without further Ado, I give you some lovely pics of the inside of our new home.



Girly's room with her purple wall!




Our master bedroom with dark blue walls. Hubs finally got his dark room! lol




These were the old doors in the house. As you can see they aren't very attractive.




These are our new doors. Aren't they so much better looking???




This is the color paint we used throughout the house. We call it Wendy's frosty color. The walls were all the same color as the old doors. That ugly brownish white color. So all the walls got a fresh coat of frosty color.




This is a view of the TV living room.




This is the sitting room that is next to the kitchen. I can't wait for Christmas time to decorate the 2 living rooms! lol




This is the little bar that is connected to the kitchen from the sitting room. The kids like to sit up here and eat!




This Hub's Marine Corps wall. In every house we have lived, he has had some sort of area where all his plaques, pics and Marine Corps knickknacks go. The cubes on each side made a perfect area to display all his stuff.




Lastly, this is the boy's room. Boy o Boy, this room gave us hell! I will go into more details later, but lets just say we got a color paint we thought would look good, but it ended up looking like a smurf on crack. The moment you walked in the room you were blinded by the blue. So we primered and re-painted and ended up with this. It looks great now, and despite all the work and problems, it turned out great. The ceiling is still the original blue, but softened with a border of white to look like clouds (Hub's doing!!)



So now that I have FINALLY shown you all my picture vomit, I will be sure to be on more often, and not wait so long to show more pics of the outside. I will be by to visit you all!

I'm Alive....Barely

OK Ladies and Gents. I am here, but not completely! Physically, but not mentally. The last couple weeks have been a whirl wind of paint, cleaning supplies, more paint and numerous, NUMEROUS trips to Home Depot. Let me tell ya, I loved it at first, but now that store needs to disappear!! Tonight, we are making yet another trip to exchange a few things that were broken. And you know what??? I haven't taken a single, damn picture. I know. Line me up and shoot me execution style. That's horrible isn't it?? But, I promise I will. WHEN I get my new doors in! lol I am replacing most of the interior doors and sometime soon, the front and side doors! The place is a mess. New carpet should be in mid-next week, and the old carpet was used as our drop cloth when we painted! lol I will update again soon. It may not be till the end of the month when our cable and Internet is hooked up over there, but I will get to it, I promise!! Tata for now!

It's Official

The house is OURS!

Escrow closed, recorded and got our good faith money back to us today!!

The keys were handed over, paint was bought, carpet was ordered and we are raring to go!

The house is pretty much cleaned, I didn't get a chance to get at the kitchen, except to sweep out all the cupboards with my Dyson, but I can get that tomorrow. Hubs has already painted both living rooms, and is working on the hallways as we speak. He had a friend helping him and they did a great job. Allot of touch ups will be needed, but that's because they used a paint sprayer and they couldn't get the small stuff. So tonight, after the kiddos go to bed, the babysitter is coming, and I am going over to get started on our room and bathroom. I got some more new hardware for the baths and am excited to get everything decorated the way we want. I am REALLY excited to get the new carpet in, but that will be about two weeks. At least we don't need to protect the carpet from over spray! lol

So that's it. That journey is over, and now a new one is beginning. The land hasn't even begun to be touched. That alone is going to take YEARS!!! We've never owned more then a lot, so 3 acres is going to be wonderful. And allot of work!

So I am signing off for now. Getting the kids fed, ready for bed, and then I need to get myself psyched to do some painting!!! lol

Don't hold it against me if I am non-existent in the next few days mmmkay???

Or maybe you could hold it against me????? Hmmmm.........

First Cleaning

Tonight was the first night I got to go to the new house to start my cleaning.

Let me inform you all that I have OCD when it comes to cleaning. I don't care if the prior owners cleaned, or whatnot, it is not good enough for me. I need to disinfect, scrub, wipe down and vacuum. Sometimes not just once, but twice! lol

Shit, I am pretty glad I am the way I am because when I attacked the shower in the master bedroom, holy crap you wouldn't believe the buildup of shit on there!

I spent a little over 2 hours there and just dented the bathroom. I soaked the tub with bleach water and washed the toilet down with bleach too, but I have yet to scrub the shit out of the tub with CLR. That stuff is great. That, and Kaboom. Stuff works wonders. Well that stuff mixed with massive amounts of scrubbing.

But it was great. No old owners watching my every move. I went through everything. Cupboards, closets, nuks and crannies. Checked everything out.

Windows will be my next big assignment. Well those and washing the walls and prepping them for paint. I already took all 100 or so nails out of the walls.

Tomorrow funds are suppose to be transferred and the house will officially close and the keys given to us!!!

Let the improvements BEGIN!

Strange Day

Wow, today has been one hell of a day.

Along with our cell phones being dead (see post below), I had a number of strange calls on the home phone.

After getting a good call this morning from escrow for us to come sign our loan documents, a very strange, creepy, and somewhat fun call came in.


Me: "Hello?"

Him: "Hey Baby" said in a very low, almost inaudible voice

Me: "Huh?"

Him: "Who dis?" he says once again in a very low voice

Me: "Who is THIS?"

Him: "This is Warren, who dis?"

Me: "Who?"

Him: "Warren"

Me: "Huh?"

Him: "Hey Baby, can I lick your wet ______?" insert the word that you most likely think he said at this point, and you are more then likely correct.

Me: "Huh?" At this time I was wondering just who the hell this was and kind of flabbergasted at this comment.

Him: "Hey Baby, come on, let me lick your ______!"

Me: "Um,OK, what?"

Him: "Who dis?"

Me: "This is Baby, that's what you just called me right?"

Him: "That's right Baby, can I ______ for you?"

Me: "Ummm, OK, whatever floats your boat."

Him: "Can I lick your _______?"

Me: "Well you could if I was female, see you got me all wrong, I am a transvestite and I have a penis. So well if you like that kind of thing....."

Him: "Huh?"

At this point, Hubs had just gotten home so I walked out to the garage and got ready to hand him the phone. Remember he had NO idea what the hell I was doing, or who I was talking to.

Me: "Here talk to my sugar daddy!"

Hubs looks at me like I am crazy as I hand him the phone.

Hubs: "Who dis?" he says in the best black man accent I have ever heard him do.
"You better lose dis number!" He says multiple times.

Him: "Uh Uh sorry I musta have the wrong number"

Click. The end. Hilarious. I had no idea who this man was, his number came up as unavailable. So I don't know if he meant to call his girlfriend or if it was just some wacko trying to get a rise out of someone. I don't know, but it was funny playing along. Then after Hubs got the phone, and played his role, it got even funnier!

Second phone call was just a bit ago.

Me: "Hello"

Her: "Ella"

Me: "Huh?"

Her: "Ella" or some name similar to that

Me: "Huh? I think you have the wrong number."

Insert numerous spanish words here. I don't know what the hell this lady was saying.

Me: "Um, mam, you have THE WRONG NUMBER"

Insert another long spew of spanish words here.

Me: "MAM, WRONG NUMBER"

More spanish words

Me: "Mam, No habla Espanol! This is an English speaking home"

More spanish words

Me: "MAM, NO HABLA ESPANOL, WRONG NUMBER!"

More spanish words and at the end she does the "I yi yi" like I am the stupid one here.

Me: "Fine mam, Yo quero Taco Bell" I was getting impatient and thought I'd throw that in there.

Insert yet another spew of spanish that I have no idea what she was saying.

Me: "Um OK Mam, well Adios!" and with that I hung up.

So after many many phone calls today, some good, some not so good, and some down right f*cked up, I am finally hanging up that stupid thing and calling it a day. Lets just say the F*cked up ones weren't from that guy or the spanish lady. They were from our lenders telling us other crap that still needed to be done that we didn't know about. I wont go into details, but now everything is cleared and we should be all done by Friday. Holy crap. Man. I need a beer or something! lol Oh and our cell phones just came back on a couple hours ago, and we got a credit of 26 bucks from Suckular for our cells being out of service for almost 4 days straight. Is it enough? No. But I don't feel like being on the phone anymore to bitch about stuff today! lol

Suckular

OK, Suckular aka Cingular is REALLY starting to piss me off. It has now been over 3 days since we have had service for our cell phones. We called Saturday when we first realized we didn't have any service.

"Ahhh Sir, all of California is out, it should be up in 70 minutes"

It has now been 4020 minutes since we had service.

70........4020.........BIG difference.

Why couldn't they just say...


"Sir, it should be on in the next 5000 to 6000 minutes."


Instead they tell us....


"Well, you did sign the terms and conditions that went along with your Suckular (Cingular) contract. It says at any time there may be outages or no service."


Well did it say in that there contract that if I don't get my service turned back on and also reimbursed for these 3 days that I am gonna kick somebodies ass???

Gosh I hope I put that in there!

Look What HE Did......

This is what happens when you let your Hubs "trim" your son's hair!


My poor baby is now hairless.



Do you think he will be hacking at Baby Boy's hair anytime soon?


I don't think so!



Two of a kind!

Nothing like it!

I will admit, I am a soda freak. I love my Coke Zero, and now that I have found it, Sprite Zero. And this morning is like no other. I am sitting here at 9 am eating my bagel and drinking my coke. I get this from my dad. He is a Diet Pepsi FREAK! And I mean FREAK. He drinks at least 2 or 3 2 liters in a day. No kidding! But me, I prefer Coke and I will maybe drink 1 or 2 cans in a day. I wake up, and usually the first thing I head to is my Coke Zero. Maybe it's the caffeine? I don't know. But either way it's yummy, and I enjoy my soda first thing in the morning.

Crap, there was something else I wanted to say too, and now I've lost all train of thought. Ahhh well...it'll come to me. I have a serious case of CRS!!! (and that too comes from my Dad! lol)

I know Bitch, bitch, moan moan. I would definitaly like some cheese with my wine Thank you!

I am an impatient motherf'r! Although, I do have to say that the people that we have working for us, and the company that is funding our mortgage are slow as shit! The documents are in. But do you think they can be signed?? Nope. You know why? Because Monday is a fricken holiday. So we have to wait till Tuesday. Then on Tuesday we sign it. Then it gets sent back to this stupid ass mortgage company. Then we have to wait till Wednesday for the funds to be transferred and the keys handed over. Holy shit, I am about to blow my fricken top. Hubs took all next week off so we could get over there and start going crazy on stuff. But now it looks as if most of the week may be shot. Holy Crap. I hate people.

So other then that I am feeling tired, cranky, and bitchy. Hmmmm......yeah, I think I'll go find some chocolate!

I apologize

I feel as if I am one of those poor chickens that get their heads chopped off, yet continue to run around and slam into trees and shit. Although not much has changed on the house front, it seems as if stuff is constantly running through my head. When should we do this?, how should we do that?, how much is this going to cost?, when should we pick up this and that? It seems as if it's a never ending project. Which I am sure it will be. So that is why I have not been on much lately. To much thinking is making my brain hurt. Then with that, I cannot focus! So I am reading, well occasionally, just not commenting!

We are waiting for the loan docs to be drawn up, and then we will get the keys. So we are figuring next week, after the holidays. I was hoping to have the keys this weekend, but people are just retarded!

Finally

Final walk through is finally scheduled for Thursday on the new house! We are getting so excited now.

Hubs let me buy a few things this weekend. I got to get all the new bathroom accessories we will be needing at the new house. The whole inside is pretty much getting an overhaul. We are going to need paint, blinds, locks, lights, and anything else we can think of to get the house in the shape we want it. Most of the old stuff is pretty outdated, and I wonder what the heck these people were thinking when they decorated. lol.

Will be busy, busy pretty soon! I can't wait to get in there and make it ours!

1 With Nature

Um, yeah, no, not me. I mean I can really appreciate certain aspects of nature, but insects (excluding the lovely ladybug and butterfly) just creep me out. This afternoon, I came face to face, once again, with the damn black widows that just assume that what's mine is theirs. After mowing and weedwacking, I took the hose out back to wash off the patio and chairs. The kid's picnic table is back there, and covered in webs so I decided to turn it upside down to hose it off. Sneaky, little bastards. One showed its lovely face. It took me a good 5 minutes just to get up enough courage to smush it with my shoe. I demolished the bastard, then went back to hosing the rest of the table off. I wanted to make sure I got in all the cracks and crevices, just because I know they like to hide. Then not but a minute later, another little gross, black, creepy thing came crawling out. UGGGHHHHH. I about had a heart attack. Only because I was almost done and was about to grab ahold of the table and tip it back over. Again, 5 minutes later, he (or she...whatever) was dead. But clear as day, they both had the lovely red hourglass on their abdomens. Then, as I went to turn off the hose, a damn lizard shot across the wall and scared the beejeebees out of me. They are hear to kill me, I swear. Now I wont be able to sleep tonight. I'll tell you of my nightmares tomorrow. Plus, this weekend, Hubs and I were planning on cleaning out that stinking shed out back. That thing is crawling with spiders and bugs. I do believe I will let him drag everything out. Then (maybe) I will help. But the last time we took something out of that shed, we got the box unloaded, and then that mother f'r decided to show it's face while crawling out of whatever it was we took out. To close for me!

Pray for me!

YAWWWWNNN!

Wow, I'm tired. But Hub's is working extra overtime tonight, so it's just me and the kiddos.

Got some good news on the house. We should definitely be closing by the end of next week. Go figure though, along with the good news came some bad news. The damn mortgage company we were working with went bankrupt, and they lost our inspection money. 400 bucks down the tubes, along with the company and all its credibility. We finally got ahold of someone who knows what the hell is going on, and they said the new company, that is taking over the bankrupt one, is going to pay the inspection fee. Heck yeah they should, holy crap, it isn't our fault the company went under and took all it's customers money with them. But I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that our realtor, and lending officer don't know squat. They don't call to inform us of anything that's going on. It got to the point where we just called the seller's agent. I mean, holy crap, should it take 4 months to get a house sold? I've never sold a house so I don't know all the kinds of happy horse shit that goes along with it, but good grief. And aside from waiting and waiting, we are left in the dark by the people that are hired to work for us. So the never ending saga of our house buying story is still pretty much at a stand still.

Waiting for Big Brother to come on. Love, love, love that show. I know, call me retarded, but I do. As soon as Hubs returns home, we will watch it. We also need to catch up on Weeds, and Californication. Both have become favorites of ours. Californication is a bit raunchy for my tastes, but it is still pretty funny.

Neighbor is coming around a bit. Waving and saying hello now. But that's the extent. Geesh, it almost feels like high school again.

Did a little more packing and organizing today. I will be sooo pissed if something happens and this house crap doesn't go through. Ughh, I hate looking at all these boxes!

Oh crap, and did I mention that Baby Boy took his first steps the other day? Yep, he took 3 or 4 unassisted steps. I about fell out of my chair.

Big Hit

The Kahlua Pork went off without a hitch. Only a little bit leftover for Hubs to take to work today. It is the easiest damn thing to make. If anyone has been to Hawaii and been to a luau, you would know that the pork that they smoke is soooo yummy. I can't remember how many luaus we went to when we lived in Hawaii, but the pork was definitely always the highlight (and the dancing men! lol). So when I was craving it one day, I searched for the recipe and found it on All Recipes, a recipe site I use VERY frequently. This is Choppzs's recipe in a nutshell. If you need the technical recipe without the little add libs added by myself, then you should go look it up! lol

Get yourself a 3 to 6 pound pig ass at the grocery store. I mean Pork Butt. lol (It may be quite embarrassing if you go up to the meat dept. man and say that, not that I would know from experience! lol) You can also substitute pork shoulder for pork butt.

Get yourself some sea salt (It calls for Hawaiian sea salt, but that stuff is hell to find so I just go with the good cheap stuff from the store. Although I am sure the Hawaiian sea salt may make a difference) and some liquid smoke. 1 bottle of smoke is sufficient, and just enough salt to smother the pork with.

Take your pork home. Jab a fork all over in the pork like you imagine yourself doing to your eyes when the kids get on your nerves really bad.

Take a good handful of sea salt and smother the pork with it. Rub it in well. Imagine you are giving your significant other a good massage.

Shake some liquid smoke all over your pork. Rub it in well too! Double massage.

Put your pork in your slow cooker and turn it on low, and let it cook for a good 10 to 12 hours. I believe the pork feels like I would feel if I could be sitting on a beach, basking in the sun without any kids!

I usually put it in before I go to bed at night. Let it cook on low all night. Then in the morning, I turn it up to medium for another 4 or 5 hours. Usually after that it is just falling off the bone and ready to shred up. I shred it, turn it back on low, and just let it do it's thing before it's time to chow! Some recommend draining all the liquid, but heck no, it keeps it nice and moist.

And at first I thought I should add some sort of liquid(aka water)to the pork while it cooks, but DON'T! The fat and drippings make a lovely amount of liquid to cook the pork in. All that fat and stuff just melts right off.

So that's it. Choppzs's Kahlua pork. It's very easy, and all you do is get out your rice cooker and make some sticky rice to go with it. And there's your meal. No pans, no oven. Very easy cleanup. And you let the slow cooker do all the work. I highly recommend trying this.

OK, so yes, Crazy got a mouthful of yummy liquid soap yesterday. He decided now, that it's OK to bite. Never in his little life has he even attempted to bite, until now. He bit Baby Boy's hand. And I didn't even know it till Baby Boy screamed, and Crazy came out of hiding and said "No Mama I bit him" after I attempted to interrogate Girly about what had happened. Luckily no marks were there, so it couldn't have been too bad, but regardless of how hard he did it, or what, biting will not be tolerated. So I took him to the bathroom, had him pull up his stool to the sink, had him open wide, and took a squirt full of soap on my hand and smothered it on his tongue. Ohhhh, he didn't like that. I had him sit for about a minute or 2 with the soap in his mouth. After a couple gaggings and multiple bubbles escaping from his mouth, I had him spit, and rinse out his mouth. Then, he was sent to his room for about 20 minutes. After that, we did the usual talk. I explained that biting is bad, and if he ever does it again he will get more soap. He kissed brother and said sorry.

Holy crap, I know kids will be kids. But I totally put the blame of this on that little girl across the street. Her and her bratty, biting mouth turned my kid into a biter. Damn it all! lol

Ok, I just have to say...

Yes, I have cooked marshmellows over my gas stove, and yes, they are yummy!! lol Gas stove smores are the best! lol Well, not better then campfire smores, but better then no smores!

Making Kahlua pork tonight for dinner tonight. Whole Hawaiian theme going on. Been cooking it since last night, so should be good and done by this evening. I figure with the islands being under attack by hurricanes and earthquakes, I would pay homage to them. But of course, I can't dig a hole and roast a pig in it, but I can do the easy route and buy liquid smoke. I'll eat the damn pig, but hell if it doesn't look gross as shit coming out of that pit. The whole pig head and stuff being in tact really grosses me out! Should be yummy!

Holy crap. At the moment, I must go and tend to the kids. Lets just say Crazy just got a mouthfull of liquid soap. I will fill you in later!

Weekend & Monday in Review...via bullets

How the hell do you get stupid bullets?? Man, either I am really retarded, or you people that do bullets are really fricken smart. Either way, I am going to use stars...because I am creative like that.

* Saturday the kids and Hubs went camping in the backyard. A good time was had by all. Except for Hubs. Hard ground & achy back = Cranky Hubs in morning.

* I on the other hand, stayed inside with Baby Boy (who was asleep) and got to peacefully watch TV. Well imbetween pee breaks, movie swapping, popcorn making and "MOOOOM, can I get some JUUUIICCEEE?".

* We contemplated roasting marshmallows over the grill, but decided against it. Camping just isn't camping when you can't roast marshmallows.


Please excuse Crazy's expression. Ummm, he's not always all there! lol




* Sunday I got me a nice pedicure and manicure. Got another pretty design on the tootsies. Very nice 2 hours spent away with no kiddos.

* We found out on Friday that nothing new has changed with the house. We are due to close on the 31st. The seller is still bucking some of the loan conditions, and doesn't want to do them. So being we only have about 2 wks. till our 2nd expected close date, I have a feeling they will be asking for another extension. We already told our agent that we will not be excepting another extension. We gave them the original 60 days when we signed the first paper, then we gave them the additional 30 days they asked for when their 60 days was up. I think 3 months is certainly enough time to get the repairs and stuff done that needed to be done. I guess we shall see.

* I had a Partylite book party. I much prefer book parties over home parties. I suck at hostessing, and hate trying to persuade people to come to parties. I would rather see someone, ask if they want a catalog, and hand them out. I did pretty good though, got almost 400 in sales. That will get me my few months worth of goodies that I need to keep my house smelling pretty! lol

So that's about it for my exciting weekend. I leave you with yet another picture of my oh so cute children that may look sweet and innocent, but then again, you haven't felt the horns that are slowly poking out of their heads.

He can't walk, but he sure can climb!

Yesterday, Baby Boy decided he wanted to start climbing on the furniture. The little terd wont walk, but he's now slowly evolving into a monkey. I figure, like everyone said, that as soon as he gets his x-rays, he'll start to walk. But you know what? The x-rays are going to have to be put off for the next couple weeks. I found out that it will cost us 250 bucks to get them done. That's our deductible. And right now, with all our money being sunk into house stuff, it just isn't possible right this moment. Plus, Hub's college courses start soon, and he needs the book for his first class. 130 bucks! For a damn book. Rediculous. He contemplated dropping the course so that that money could get Baby's x-rays, but I told him no. Baby Boy isn't in any pain or anything, and I just don't think the x-rays are urgent at the time being. From what the doc said, it's just to rule out anything.

On the neighbor front, I am still getting the cold shoulder. Yep, no "Hi's", waves, or anything, even with my attempts to make small talk. The kids have played together since, outside of course where I am watching, but she has failed to make an appearance. Her kids just make there way accross the street, and they all end up playing. It drives me nuts that the little girl (aka the girl who bit Crazy) walks back and forth across our street without any supervision. She turns 3 in Sept. I try my best to keep an eye on her, only because it drives me nuts that a little girl is out running about on her own, but I get sick of the fact that I end up being the babysitter becuase her mom is still pissed at me. Oh well, screw her. I'm moving anyways... lol

Here is Baby Boy being his new monkey self.....

Chillen

Just sitting here with my Coke Zero and contemplating what the hell to do.....

The kids have swimming lessons tonight, so I do have to make sure Crazy takes a nap before hand so he's not a whiny, little terd. Yeah, I see that happening!

I lost another pound. Yippee!! (do you hear the sarcasm in my voice??) Yeah, I know it's something I have to work towards, and take bits at a time, but this working my ass off thing, and not losing anything is pissing me off. Ahh well, what can ya do? I bet that Long John Silvers last night didn't do me much good though....hmmm..ya think?

Took Baby Boy to his 18 month check up today. He's all done with his shots till he goes into Kindergarten!! Yahh! But the doc ordered an x-ray of his hips. The little terd still isn't walking on his own yet. He will push his walker around like crazy, and walk all along the furniture, but you try to get him to walk solo, and the little guy just flops down and crawls like a madman. Till he reaches some sort of chair or something. So anyways, the doc seems to think he may have hip displacement or something that is causing him to not be able to have much balance. I myself think it's pure laziness. I mean all my kids took their time walking. Girly didn't walk till around 15 months and Crazy didn't start till between 16 and 17 months. So I just figured Baby Boy was following their lead. But the doc seems to think he is way behind and something may be wrong. I guess we'll see!

Well the littlest twerp is up from his nap and is calling to me to come save him from his wretched crib. They all seem to think I am here to service their every whim. Geesh!

ClusterF*ck

Wow, today my brain feels like one big clusterf*ck. Not to much better then yesterday. My kids are being their usual whining, screaming, bratty selves so that's no different. I guess you could say I just feel "blah". Like I am doing a ton of crap, but nothing is getting done. Plus, Crazy and Girly went over to the neighbor's house to play and Crazy got bit by their little girl. I usually don't leave the kids with them because I know how their little girl is. She's very aggressive. She's the same age as Crazy, but boy is this girl mean. She's been known to hit, punch, kick, and squeeze the baby till he cries. She's never bitten before, so this kind of got to me. Anyways, I spoke with the mom after I had Girly bring him home. She (the mom) told me they had been bickering, Crazy pushed her so she turned and bit him. I know my kids aren't perfect, shit, they are annoying little terds, but I know Crazy, and he would actually run away screaming before he'd push or hit another kid. He's just whiny like that. But then when Girly came home to get her phone and told me about what happened, the mom told her it wasn't right for her to go telling on them, and that she ruined the fun for the kids. THAT, pissed me off. So I called her up, told her Girly didn't come home to tell on them, and that I didn't want Crazy playing with the little girl if she was going to bite. She left a lovely blue mouth print on his arm. Luckily, she didn't draw blood. But the mom didn't apologize, just kept insisting that Crazy pushed her first, and that she didn't think it was that big of a deal. Well Lady, it is! It is a big deal that 1. You are responsible for my kid when he is with you and you didn't even bother to tell me what had happened. I had to hear it from my kids. And 2, these are my kids. I will decide what is a big deal. So anyways, yes, it's been lovely. We've known these neighbors since we moved in here, and have never had any problems. They are nice people. They just can't/wont control their kids.

Here's the lovely mark he had on his arm. And there he is giving me those puppydog eyes. He was so upset that he had to come home. But he did quickly point out that she had also smacked him in the eye too. That's why I took that second picture. He insisted I should get a picture of that too! lol




I sat Baby Boy in the corner for the first time today. He actually sat there. He's been pestering his brother and turning the TV off every few seconds just to get a rise out of him. So after having to go and turn the TV back on several times I told him no, swatted his hand, and stuck him in the corner. Oh boy, he didn't like that. He screamed and screamed. Then he just sat there. Kind of spaced out. lol. I think all that crying/screaming tuckered him out. So after a min or 2 I told him to come to me. He crawled over, laid his head on me, then gave me a kiss. He hasn't touched the TV since!! lol My Baby Boy's already getting punished, geesh!

I'm a Survivor

Yes friends, I have survived. I am not on the run, and no duct tape was in order. Hell Boy was pretty good once again. It just seems as soon as Mom shows up through that door, he becomes a different boy. Gets in the fridge and demands food, starts jumping on the furniture, not sharing toys with Crazy, trying to pick up Baby Boy. It's weird. I mean, don't kids usually get better when their parents ARE around??? This one, he is the complete opposite. But then again, he knows I am not going to yell at him in front of his mom, only because that should be her job, and 2. She doesn't do shit to him, and he knows that. Ahhh, well.....it's done and over with, and I don't plan on doing that anytime soon. And if she asks, well....umm...I have other plans for that day...lol

Yesterday was kind of a strange day. I can't explain it, but it was just rough. For both Hubs and me. Weird things in the mail, agent troubles, and just an overall sucky ora about the day. Very strange, and very unsettling.

Girly and Crazy took swimming lessons for the first time yesterday. They had allot of fun. Even though there were about a dozen certified lifeguards there, I still found myself saying "Where's Crazy?", "Hubs can you see him?", "Does somebody have him?", "Crazy sit down, your going to fall into the water!" Hubs was like, "He's gonna be fine, he's surrounded by lifeguards!!" lol At first he was stiff and kinda scared, but after a couple minutes he was chatting her ear off! lol He's such a flirt. It was hard because I had to try to keep an eye on Girly, who did great, and try to keep an eye on Crazy at the same time. Mom's really do have to have eyes in the backs of their heads don't they? lol

Not in the Mood

OK, it is day 2 of watching Hell Boy.

You remember him don't you? The seven year old that throws frozen pizza all over my floor, tries to hit me, and talks back. Yeah that's him. I babysat him yesterday, and am babysitting today. Believe it or not, yesterday wasn't that bad. But that was because I restricted him and Crazy to the living room where I could keep an eye on them. After Hell Boy kicked Crazy out of his own room and had him in tears, I decided that was it. But other then that, it went OK (Except for me about losing it because he would not get out of my face. If I was on the phone, he was right there, if I was eating, he was right there. And I mean RIGHTUPINMYFACE. Yeah, that close). Now today, well, I guess we'll see. Wish me luck, and if you don't hear from me soon, just assume I am on the run after I do something to the wretched child.

Please Give Me a Fork, I want to Gouge My Eyes Out!

dentist, kids, screaming, fork, eyes, gouge.

I said they were free to good home, why hasn't anyone called?

Feels like Forever

It's only been like 3 days since I last posted, but it feels like FOREVER! Don't get me wrong, I don't have squat to post about, but I could entertain you with something. But I wont....because...well...I don't feel like it. I haven't been around to anyone else's blogs either, and well....I don't feel like it. So sue me! lol

I will say though that I have lost almost 5 pounds in the last couple weeks. I am very proud of myself. Hubs has lost about 20. And the great thing, we have done it together. We've been walking/running every night with the kiddos, and we've been eating so much better. We've been portioning everything we eat, and that helps tremendously. So that way we can grab a snack, and it's already pre-portioned out and we wont overeat. But my question is...why the heck does it seem so much easier for him to lose the weight then me? Men seem to just shed the pounds while I am over here working my butt off. I don't get it. Oh well, it'll come off eventually right? Just watch, I'll lose all my weight, then get pregnant again. Never fails. Nope, we aren't done yet, I would at least like another girl, but I told hubs if the next one is a boy, we aren't done till I get my other girl!! lol

Ok, well, that's about all the excitement I have for you. I know you were just jumping out of your chairs waiting for my next post weren't you? Well, I aim to please! Just wait for the next one, you may get to hear about boobs, boogers or beavers again.....Oh the anticipation.

Sissy's visit

Although very short, Sissy's visit was allot of fun. We went to the wineries, and drove for hours on end. lol. We ended up getting them back to Vegas pretty late last night, but had fun bumming a bit, and seeing the Freemont St. Experience before we left. Wasn't all that, but it was kinda cool. We did our usual stupid picture taking, and had allot of laughs.

Here is Sissy and I finally taking a serious picture.



Kiddos and Auntie Beth



They really do love each other!! lol (Don't mind Hub's expression, it really wasn't that bad! lol)



That sicko wouldn't keep her hands off of my beaver!!! hehehehehe




Mmmmm, pickles at ClaimJumpers!


I wont say what Beth did in this picture to make her laugh so hard!!



Baby Boy giving Auntie's belly kisses!




This asshole cut us off big time. So I decided to snap his picture. You can't see his face, but after he saw the flash, he didn't look to happy! lol I was gonna blow him a kiss, but Hubs was driving to fast.




Say Cheese!

Locked and Loaded and Ready to Shoot

Lookey these here pictures. That would be Girly. She thinks she's a model. I do believe she has been watching way to much "America's Next Top Model". But, gosh she is beautiful! The shotgun is waiting, and ready to go for when those boys start showing up.




Crazy wanted to model too. I love how he's sporting that ever popular forehead band-aid. He's going to be the new Band-Aid Kid!!! lol


I decided to be a copycat, and get a haircut like Sissy. But you know, my hair never turns out as cute as hers. Of course, I was to chicken to cut off as much (I cut off 6 inches) and my hair is allot finer then hers. I like it though, and it feels sooo much cooler!


I thought this picture was cute. It totally reminds me of a picture of Sissy when she was little and in the tub.

Mornings suck

This morning started out as any typical morning. Woken up by Crazy, he climbs into bed with me, I turn on PBS and he watches it for an hour while I try to get my lazy butt out of bed. Only this morning, he taps me on the shoulder and says

"Momma, I dropped my Nuk in the potty."

Half asleep still, I tried to process what he just said.

"What? You did what?"

"I dropped my Nukky in the potty."

"Ummm, huh?"

"It fell in the potty"

I sit up trying to figure out the slurring words because he has the Nuk in his mouth.

"Your Nuk fell in the potty?"

"Yah"

"Ummm, before or after you went pee in the potty?"

"Huh?" (insert raised eyebrow and quizzical look from boy here, like I am the Crazy one)

Get up, pull the Nuk from his mouth, and throw it in the dishwasher. And don't even get me started on the fact that he is to damn old for his Nuk. I know this information. But hell, I am lazy, and I hate to hear him scream. So call me a wuss.

Bonus:

Just a wee bit of information. All repairs and necessary crap is done to the house we plan on buying. But it looks as if we will be waiting possibly another month to move in. The sellers are asking for a bit more time due to their own stupidity. See they are building another house. So far it is a beautiful slab in the nice part of town. That's right, a slab. So because they are stupid and unprepared to move, and have no where to live, we have decided to give the go ahead to wait another month. But I am telling you, if it takes any longer then a month, we are backing on the damn deal!

Go Figure

I have jinxed myself, or better yet, Hubs jinxed me. He made me do it. He made me blog about how the Baby Boy has been letting me sleep through the night. Where do you think that got me? Yeah, it got me up TWICE last night. I swear, I am a glutton for punishment. Just like in Monopoly. I know I shouldn't count the number of squares I need to get to Boardwalk. But I do it anyways. And do I roll that number? Of course not. I end up landing on someones f*cken railroad or some shit. Geesh!

Last night I couldn't sleep anyways. I was sitting there thinking of all the crap I wanted to do to the new house. What paint color should I get? Should I get new hardware for the bathrooms? If I get new hardware, I'll need to get new towel hooks, and new matching toilet roll holders. When will we have the money to re-side? What color should the new siding be? Will we have to re insulate? What color should the bedroom be? What kind of new carpeting do I want? What color?

Holy Crimity.....SHUT UP BRAIN!!!

So what did I do? I got up, and played around on the computer. Yeah that got my eyes all nice and droopy. So an hour later, I crawled back into bed. Only to be woken up an hour after to screaming Baby Boy. And after all that, and going in there to console him, he screams even louder when I take him out of the crib to rock him. What an ungrateful brat! lol So I just give him a peck, and lay him back down. Go figure, he rolls over and passes out. Now I have to go back to bed and try to fall asleep once more. Only to be woken up 3 hours later to Hub's alarm and a screaming kid. Holy crap kid. 2 times? Why? So I go in there, change him butt, tell him to go back to sleep, and lay him down.

So the next time Hubs, you feel the need to advise me on what to post.....shut the hell up!!! lol

But I still love ya!

He made me do it

I'm suppose to post (as said by Hubs) about how I have been able to sleep through the night for about the last month.

Well you know, now that I am able to sleep through the night, I am Superwoman and can jump from building to building in a single bound. I can do mounds of laundry in record time and dry them with my heat vision, and wash dishes at the speed of light.

"Well you always blogged about how you never got any sleep and the baby got you up 3 or 4 times a night. So why don't you blog about how you now get to sleep through the night?"

Well simply because when I am not bitching and moaning about something, this blog is no fun.

So that is why today's post is no fun.

And he says all I ever do is bitch about him and make him look bad....hmmmphhhh, that is so not true!

My Weekend in Pics

Boxes, boxes, and more boxes. Packing up the house and getting crap taken down. Loads of fun.




This would be my cool, little dude. I tell you this little guy gets all the ladies.



And last but certainly not least... My tootsies. Yes, today I went out and got myself a pedicure. My little old men, as my Hubs would call them, came back all shiny and sparkly. Not to mention callus free and with a fresh coat of paint. I know, some of you may look at them and want to hurl, but hell, they have personality. And you see those beautiful tan lines. Yes, those are compliments of my slippers that I refuse to take off my feet all summer. I still wear the flip flops I bought when we lived in Hawaii. I could wear them all year long. And those little dents on my left foot, those are carpet marks, so don't go saying I have wrinkly feet mmmkay?? lol



And that would be my exciting weekend. Packing and pedicures! Gotta love it!

Clarification

Ok, just to clarify the cow in the tub thing, although I have a deep love for cows *wink wink* I do not mean I would like to bath with a cow in the moonlight (Stacie, you smartass! lol) What I meant is I would love to take a nice, long bath with a glass of wine! Uninterrupted, and NO, not with Hubs!! (lol at Carrie)

Although....maybe if he is nice to me.....

hehehehehehe

This is what I need to do!

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight

OK, this post has nothing to do with chicken, but hell it sounded good.

Wow, it's been a while, and I have been lazy.

Yesterday was gorgeous. No sun. Clouds all day long and gloomy. It only got up to 100. Beeutiful!!! I was outside with the kids all day long. Now today it's sunny again, and suppose to get to 105. Dammit sun, go away for crying out loud! Ughh!

House coming along. Appraisal done, and waiting on repairs. Hopefully we will be moving soon.

Gosh, other then Crazy swearing like a Marine, I have absolutely nothing to talk about. That's right, his new word of choice is ass. I have absolutely no idea where he may have gotten that from.......well.....yes I do, but hey I am not the only one that says it all the time *points finger in Hub's direction*

OK, I will bring this up only because I am desperate and can't think of a damn thing to post about. Picture the situation. Hubs don't kill me for this, I am a desperate blogger.

This last weekend I am sneaking away to take a shower. Hubs is home, which means I can take a shower bright and early in the morning without worrying that the kids are unsupervised. Usually it takes me till mid-afternoon when Baby is sleeping to get my showers.

I shut the door tightly and even think about locking it to keep Crazy out. But I don't. Just in case Hubs needs to get in to do something or whatever.

So as I strip down to get into my uninterrupted shower, the door opens. Hubs walks in.

I look at him and say "whatchya doin?"

He looks around and says "I was gonna see if I could join you?"

Ummmm, ya, ok so much for my uninterrupted shower.

So I say, "So where are the kids and who's going to watch them?" thinking at any moment I am going to have to shower with a room full of kids, as is usually the case.

He looks around. I was almost waiting for the finger to go to his mouth and start tapping his chin. I believe he was thinking that hard.

"Oh...yah...Ok." and he walks out.

Now I guess my question is...do guys not think?? lol Does it not occur to them that when you have children they must be supervised? Especially little ones that are crawling about and stick things in their mouths. I mean, I, as a mother, am always thinking of the kids. Where are they? Are they getting into something? Why are they so quiet? Did I lock the front door security lock so Crazy can't get out even if he unlocks all the door knob locks?

Even when I do go to take a shower, and Baby is asleep, I make sure Crazy is settled comfortably with the babysitter (aka the TV) , with a snack, a juice and with Girly seated near by in case she needs to come running to me to tell me he's choking or some shit. Only at that point do I feel comfortable enough to take my 5 minute, wash my hair, wash my ass as quick as I can shower and jump out just in time to hear the 2 of them going at it over which stupid cartoon to watch.

Is it this way with every couple?

OK, enough of that. I am going to be in trouble now.

*smooch smooch* I love you Hubs lol

A Big, Huge.....

F You to the Sun and Heat Gods. I know you all hear me bitch day in and day out about this heat and crap here, but for crying out loud I can't even leave my damn house without melting into a stinkin puddle.

Last night Hubs and I were outside on the patio. It was 9:30 or 10 pm and when I checked the temp....102. Even after the sun goes down, and all that, it is still over 100.

Heat stroke. That's all that comes to mind. Well that, and I wish I had a skinny, little, cute body because then I wouldn't be so afraid to go outside butt naked. But at this rate, all you neighbors are gonna have to suck it up, and kiss my rear because I am ready to show off this not so great, less then stellar, chubby birthday suit.

Pull down the blinds, and hide the children because I am raring to go! lol

Because I am cool like that...

and also because it is the 4th of July, I am going to torture you all with more picture vomit. Thanks to Bossy, that is my new term...lol


We saw this coyote on our trip to Vegas last weekend. He kept running from me, the little bastard, so this is the only picture that turned out.




These are my two little boys. Yah, Yah, they look cute, but you can't hear them through the picture.





This is one of my little pooches, his name is Poppy. If you want to get all technical and shit, his real name is Sir Poppy of Brandymill. He's a Pekingese. He's also gay, but who am I to judge!


And this would be Pookey. She's my baby. She is a Lhasa Apsos, Dauchstan mix. We've had her since before Girly was born. She is sick right now. The damn neighbor dog gave her kennel cough. So she's not liking me very much, especially when I try to shove pills down her throat, and make her swallow gross cough syrup. But...I found the trick. Dogs love Kahlua pork. Even with pills and cough syrup mixed in.






This is what happens to Crazy when Girly gets her hands on him. Yes, that is a headband, and yes that is the cheesiest smile I have ever seen! lol That picture will someday be used against him!






And this is the world's most flattering picture of myself and Baby Boy! *gag* He is glued to my side at the moment, so I am not able to get a picture without some part of him being in it! lol



Everyone have a safe and fun 4th of July. Don't go blowing up any illegal fireworks this evening. Those things are strictly reserved for Moi!!! lol Just kidding, just kidding, as I have said before I would never, ever purchase illegal fireworks!

Heat Wave

Holy Crap, we have an excessive heat warning for the week. It's suppose to get up to 114 on Wednesday. Unbelievable. I hope Sissy gets herself one of those little fans that sprays water while it fans you because she is going to DIE in Vegas when she comes out. Vegas usually runs at least 3 to 5 degrees higher then us, and being pregnant and walking in this heat...... ICK!!! She sure picked a crappy time to come out! lol Word of advice to you Sissy.... Make good use of that air conditioned hotel room you got there, or better yet, get tickets to allot of shows that are in the air conditioned hotels! lol When you come to see me, I will wine and dine you with cool, refreshing virgin drinks. lol That is while I chug down the good ones! lol And since we are headed down to the wineries, it is a good 10 to 15 degrees lower down that way. So that'll be good.

The drive in was fun last night. The kids loved the movie, and we thought it was pretty cute too. The kids mowed on popcorn and pretzels. Baby Boy LOVED the popcorn, and ended up crashing out on the ground. He must have went into a popcorn coma or something because once he was out, he was OUT. Even after moving him into the van, buckling him in, getting home, and then taking him out of the van and into the house he didn't make a peep. He woke up enough for me to change his butt, and then he conked right back out again. The slept in till 8 am this morning. Hallelujah!!! I am one happy camper! lol

OK, I am off to finish some laundry and then find a way to get the kids out but stay cool. Hmmmm, yeah, that's not gonna happen!

Been a while...

I think this is the longest I have gone without posting in a while!

This weekend was a long one.

Friday was Hubs's Birthday. The big 3-0. I didn't do my usual Happy Birthday post. So to you Honey, Happy Birthday! Don't worry, I still love you even though you think you are old! lol

Saturday was just another hot, sticky day. Did a little shopping at Walmart, then went to a friend's house about a half hour away to watch some fireworks. It sucked! It lasted a bit over 2 or 3 mins maybe. Yah, sucked! We did celebrate a little on our own though with our much wanted purchases from Vegas. I didn't bring the camera though, so I didn't get any pictures.

Tonight we are going to the drive in to watch a movie. That new Disney movie. Whatever the hell the name of it is. Getting some ice cream, eating some theatre munchies and watching a movie outside seems like the perfect end to the weekend.

I am really starting to hate these summer days. I love the sun, I love being outside, but when it gets to be over 100, it's so miserable you can't even go outside. Right now, it is 4:30pm and it is 109. Crazy shit. The kids always want to go out and play in the pool and all that, but just sitting out there just makes you start to feel queasy. I got one hell of a sunburn last weekend though, going out mid-day and mowing and weedwacking. Yah, I wanted to rid myself of the dreaded farmer's tan I had going on, so I put on my tank top, and went out. Yah, I was hurting for a week or so. Did I get rid of the tan? Uh, no. My body seems to only tan in certain areas, now my lower arms are really dark. My back and cleavage area just got burnt all to shit. lol Gotta love being a really white girl! lol

Ok, I am off to eat, and get ready to go watch a movie. Hope everyone's weekend was good! Tata!

Great...you got me thinking

Jamie got me to thinking...I know, a dangerous thing, considering my condition, but hey, sometimes it's worth it. lol

She got me thinking about summers as a kid. What we used to do. How we used to play. The innocence of it all.

I so wish for times like that for my kids. To be able to go out, and know every single one of your neighbors. Even the ones a mile up the road. To not have to worry about pedophiles, or freaky people. To be able to go out in the woods and build forts, and clubhouses, and ride your bikes for miles and not worry about getting hit by cars. To climb trees and dig holes and not worry about black widows, and desert snakes. lol. It actually makes me sad. I remember the flowers, like the honeysuckles, that we'd pick and stick in our mouths. The wild blackberries that we'd pick by the bucket fulls, and then take home to put in our morning cereal. The wild rhubarb that we'd pick and eat. The corn we'd pick from the field to have for dinner that night. The pumpkins we'd pick from Grandpa's patch to carve for Halloween. Gosh, I could go on and on.

The funny thing, all we did was bitch and complain back then.

"Mom, I'm Bored!!!"

"Mom, there's nothing to do!"

"Mom, can we come in and watch TV??"

And the answer was always..

"No, go find something to do!"

And then the door would be closed, and sometimes, even locked! lol

Things can never be the way they used to can they? Things were so easy.

Well, I must go off and tuck my little one into bed. I hope everyone has a great summer!

Grandma and Grandpa's farm that we grew up on


Me and Sissy Beth being dorks when we were younger!

You know you've been married to long when.....

You offer to have phone sex with your Hubs even though he is lying right next to you.

Lovin It!

Don't you just love those stores that sell every kind of fireworks known to man?

Don't you just love the smell of blown up M60's?

Don't you just love the thought of being sneaky and doing something bad that you shouldn't?

Don't you just love it when you get butterflies in your stomach because you know you are getting away with something?

ME? Nah, I don't love any of those things.....*snicker snicker*

I would never, EVER, go to a store in Vegas and stock up on 80 bucks worth of illegal fireworks!

I also would never incriminate myself in any way, shape or form!

So, I advise you kids out there to never do anything illegal, or incriminate yourselves!

This was my public service announcement!

No Kids Allowed!

OK all you youngsters out there, turn back now, you can't be reading this blog!!! lol It says because the words SHIT, HELL, DEAD, and TORTURE are present often in this blog. Come on now, I was hoping for a restricted. I guess I'll have to up the anty!

Mingle² - Online Dating

Thanks Stacie for this! ;)

Sipping on Gin and Juice

Well technically it's not gin and juice, but rather Kahlua and Bailey's, but hey beggars can't be choosers.

Sitting here contemplating whether I even want to get into the kind of day today has been.

Went to the home inspection of the new house. Let's just say we knew of allot of things that would need to be fixed up and spruced up and such, but I didn't realize just how much work really is going to need to be done. Yeah it'll be a work in progress, I know, but still it kind of gets my panties in a wad. The inspector was great. Luckily, the first hour or so we were there it was just us and him. No homeowners. But then the guy came home, and our open talking kind of went out the door. The inspector was very good at giving us pointers here and there, and kind of telling us "off the record" what should be done. So now that that is done, and the appraisal is done, and all the other inspections, now we just wait for the listings to come back to us, telling us what has to be fixed and what is suggested to be fixed. I guess we'll see. And the homeowner was very adamant on letting us know he was losing money on the deal. Especially since with the loan being a VA loan, they are very strict on things that need to be done. Things I guess, he didn't expect to have to do. Well let me tell you, he can shove it up his ass, cause if the shit needs to be done, he isn't going to screw us out of something that is potentially dangerous to us in the near future.

Oh well. Enough said.

Still trying to figure out a way to get my kids some sparklers for the 4th. That's right. Here in good old To Hot Shit Hole, anything but those stupid poppers are deemed illegal. I guess being out in the desert, fire safety is big, so they restrict everything. But let me ask... What the hell is there to burn here? We are in the middle of the fricken desert. There isn't shit but sand and tumbleweeds. lol. Oh well, we are thinking maybe a trip to Vegas is in order. We'll take the risk of getting busted at the agricultural station between here and there just to let our kids have some sort of fun on the 4th. Next year though, I am ordering them online and getting them ahead of time. Even though there is the chance of them being confiscated in the mail. Or so I am told. lol. What a bummer.

OK, that is all I have to gripe about for now. Ta ta Everyone!

Brain Dead

That's right my friends, I believe I have officially shut down. The brain is dead. Gone. Finished. Down the tubes. Smushed animal on the side of the road kind of dead. Summer vaca has just started, and I am already to move into my new home. The mental institute down the street. Whining, screaming, hitting, fighting. If you don't hear from me soon, please, feel free to do nothing. Because more then likely I have run away. But thanks for caring just the same.

What's wrong with this picture?

Ok, who the hell taught my kids manners? I thought I did, but evidentally not. I refuse to give in to the demands of a 3 yr. old. "Mama, give me juice!" , "Mama, I want crackers!", "Mama, I WANT JUICE!!"

Do you know what my response is to this???


"Shut Up"

Not yelling, not screaming, just a non-shalant

"Shut up"

Is that bad? lol

So then he says....

"Nicely Mama!"

He says this because I always tell him I wont get him squat until he asks for things nicely. So that is what he says.

"But I said Nicely Mama!"

"No Crazy, you have to ask me Please, and say Thank you, not say Nicely"

Man, my kid is a Butthead!


Another question, is is bad to try to purposely embarass your 9 year old and then get a big kick out of it when it is accompished? Girly is at the age where she is
really embarrassed by
being around her parents. And we take full advantage of this situation. Especially when we are at Walmart or out and about in town. We will act like total idiots just to embarrass the heck out of her. She gets all red faced and angry. lol. Usually we only do this when she gets snotty, or cocks an attitude towords us about something. I feel it is just our way of showing the girl love! lol
