Icky, Sicky Weekend

The flu has hit us hard!

First on Friday, we went to the mall so the kids could see Santa. Then, we went out to eat to celebrate Girly's excellent report card. We let her chose the restaurant and everything. She went with good ol Outback. lol Things were going well, the food was good, and everyone was happy.




And....after we got back from dinner, our friends were at the house and I was greeted with this...

That's right, this is the cherry limeade I had been after for the last couple months!
But, although the cherry limeade was excellent, it was not quite up to par.....

Does anyone else see what is missing in this photo???
That's right, after closing early on me, and depriving me of my cherry limeade, those bastards skimped on the cherries. I usually drink like a madman just to get down to the cherries. Ahhh well, it was good though!!! lol

But no sooner did dinner end, and we get home and get the kiddies to bed, the puking started. Girly got the brunt of it. She was sick all through the weekend. Today, it is Baby Boy's turn. White as a sheet, and I have done more wash then I care to admit! lol It seems to be coming out of every nuk and cranny that boy has! lol So as I am dealing with that today, i just know that within the next couple days, it will be Crazy's turn, then Hubs and mine. I just hope it comes and goes before Christmas!!

Fluffy, White Stuff

You know what sucks? When you can see the snow capped mountains from your front yard, but yet you have no snow on the ground. Yes it's cold, below freezing in the morning, but not being able to reach out and touch the cold, white stuff is depressing. Brings back allot of memories. Growing up in Michigan, you never, ever have a lack of the white stuff. Snow ball fights, snow forts, ice ball fights (yeah those were fun, ice balls to the face hurt like hell lol)and catching snow flakes on your tongue. Yes, I think this is the most depressed I have been in a while. Maybe we should take a trip up to the mountains to get our fill of old man winter!

Oh and I tried to take a pic of those beautiful mountains, but the damn smog rolled in and I couldn't get a decent shot! lol

Bitch and Moan

Sick...and...Tired.

That's about it. Just fed up. In a pissy mood and people keep fueling the fire. People suck!

A little Christmas cheer

As my friend and I were driving back from Bakersfield last night, we stopped by a Starbucks to get some caffeine. Before we had a chance to pay for our drinks, the lady asked us if she could ask us a question. She asked if we could name all of Santa's reindeer. Of course, I was put on the spot simply because I have the kiddos and my friend knew I would know. So because I am a dweeb, I immediately started singing the Burl Ives version of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer in my head. I recited all the reindeer, including Rudolph and won us a free drink!!! lol That's the first (and probably last) time I have ever received anything free from Starbucks. But it was nice to see some Christmas cheer so late at night and especially from a Starbucks employee.

And you know what put a big ol damper on that Christmas cheer? It was the fact that we drove 2 hours to a place that happens to have a Sonic and the damn place was closed when we got there. Can you believe that?? I was drooling for a cherry limeade by the time we got done with our engagement,and when we got there the place was closed up tighter then a virgin. Ahh well, we'll make another trip soon and this time I wont leave without my cherry limeade!!!

Past and Present

He was wearing the damn bucket then... at Halloween



And he is still wearing it now...at Christmas time


Why does he insist on wearing that stupid Weinersnitzel bucket everywhere? To the store, to the post office (which by the way was a VERY entertaining experience), and in the car. He refuses to take it off his head. Ahh well, at least it can be used as his helmet in case he falls or rams into a wall or something right?

Why is it so difficult?

Can anyone tell me why every year I have this big pain in my ass called the Christmas card family portrait?

Why is it so hard to get a family pic taken in front of the damn tree?

Why is it that every time I try to get it done the kids are screaming or running around like mad people?

Why is it after several attempts the pics are to dark or blurry?

Ugggh, I love to send out cards with at least a semi current pic in it, but this year if I don't hurry and get a decent pic it will just be a plain old card.

But I did get a couple of the kids in front of the tree. Of course I had to bribe the boys with candy cane Hershey kisses in order to sit still for two seconds and give me a decent smile! lol

Better then Sex!

Okay ladies, you all know that shopping is better then sex right? Hahahaha well, at least a close 2nd ahhh? lol

Yesterday a friend and I spent 9 hours shopping! It was FABULOUS! No kids. No husbands. No whining, crying, kicking, screaming or "Mama, I want THAAAAT's!" It's been years since I have been able to get out and shop without being accompanied by little people. Although, I did receive numerous phone calls throughout the day wondering where I was, when I would be home, and if I was going to be getting dinner for everyone. lol Uhhh no, I am getting dinner for me, me and only me! lol

We hit numerous stores and the mall too and did I come home with anything for me?? Yep. A chapstick. That's right. A gosh damn chapstick and a little cute ladybug notepad. Geesh. lol All the money was spent on the chillens that I moan and whine about on a daily basis. But Gosh I love those little terds. So even when they aren't with me, they still get my full attention!

But either way it was lots of fun and a whole day to myself.

Feeling Old

You know what makes me feel old?

When Girly's Gpa gives her a cassette tape player and this is the conversation that came about.

Girly: "OHHHHH, what's this"

Me: "Uhh....it's a cassette player"

Girly: "Huh?" *insert confused look here*

Me: "Yah, a cassette player, you know to play cassette music tapes?"

Girly: "Uhhhh...ok" *insert very confused look here*

Me: "Never mind!!"

At that point I had to explain to Gpa that she has never used cassette tapes, only CDs. Then I had to explain to Girly what cassette tapes were using the example of an old Christmas cassette we used to listen to when she was little.

Gpa: "Oh, well, it has a radio on it too!"

Girly: "Oh ok!" (still looking very confused)

Decorating

We had a good Thanksgiving and stuffed ourselves silly. We could live off our leftovers for months!

As per tradition, we set up our Christmas decorations and tree the night after T-day.




And this is what happens....


When a certain little somebody.....



Gets ahold of your nativity!

Do you see how poor, little, baby Jesus and his Daddy are on the roof? lol



And Mary is off in the distance looking for them? lol



Yahhhh...that's what I have been seeing the last couple nights. Everytime I re-set up the nativity, I come back to find poor Jesus on the roof, and usually he's with the donkeys and sheep! lol

Thank You

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts! Things are better, and the trip has been postponed to a later date.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

*Gobble Gobble*

Weekend

Holy Crap, do you know how long it's been since Hubs and I have gone out on a "date"? To stinkin long. But Friday we finally got to do just that. I needed to go to Old Navy and get some new pants now that I am down by 22 lbs.(GO Me, GO Me! lol) and so we headed over there first. Then afterwards we just went out to eat at the Outback. The food and drink was yummy and getting new pants was great, but the best thing was not hearing "Momma, momma, momma" half a zillion times in the 3 hours we were gone. We definitely need to do that more often.

Oh and I have to add, I had a brief blogger moment while on our date. As we were driving down the road, I looked at the truck ahead of us and it had the license plate letters TKW on it. I laughed and said to Hubs,

"Ha, that's funny, you know that lady on blogger, you know The Kept Woman?"

"Yah" he says to me like he could give 2 shits less about another blogger friend.

"Well she signs all her stuff as TKW and that guy's license plate says TKW"

"Oh, well is it a Wisconsin plate?"

"Hmmm, I don't know, I can't see it that well!"

But I think the thing that shocked me the most was the fact that he knew she lived in Wisconsin!!! lol He must read more then I think, or I talk WAYYYY to much about my blogger buds! hehehehehe

Saturday was our work day. Lots of mowing, weed wacking and cleaning up yard stuff. My arms and ass hurt in places I never knew existed! lol

Today was a lazy day. Hubs worked on homework, and then the kids and us took a walk down the two tracks out behind our property. We threw rocks and looked at all the horses and other animals along the way. It was a nice walk and the kids finally got to get up close and personal with the horses we see everyday when we take Sissy to school.

Feeling BLAH

Gosh, the last couple days have been really ICK! I don't mean the weather or anything like that, I mean me. In the fashion of TMI, I am pretty sure I am ovulating. That's right. I start to cramp, get nauseous and all that good crap. It's weird to me though, before Baby Boy, I never had a clue when all that happy body crap was happening. But now, it's like clockwork every month. It lasts a couple days, then I feel fine again. Then of course, Aunt Flo comes to see me. But this time seems to be accompanied by some icky flu like symptoms too, so that's not good. It may be a combo, or I could just be over-analyzing it. Plus with Sissy having Baby Milky Way, I am getting the fever again. That's right, the baby fever is creeping. But NO, I will not give in! lol Not yet, not till Baby Boy is completely potty trained. I refuse to have 2 in diapers again. To much work, to much money! lol So wish me luck everyone, that my ovaries give me a break soon! hehehehehehe

Happy Birthday and Happy Veterans Day

To all our Marines, Happy Birthday and Semper Fi!

To all our Veterans, Thank You!

Tag, I'm It

Before I get to my tag, I just have to say that our garage has been invaded with flies. That's right, those disease carrying, germ infested, nasty pieces of shit are all over. The walls are covered, the tables are covered, the tools are covered, they are EVERYWHERE! We bought fly traps and stuff, but they aren't doing a damn thing. I looked up home remedies to get rid of them and they all say basil, lavender, and some other herb are natural deterrents for flies. So it looks as if now I am off to buy some plants. Those will probably die before the damn flies because I suck at keeping green things living! So to add my ever growing list of invaders of my home, I am adding the fly. I will take a pic here soon and show you all just how nasty this is. Ick..... Oh and don't anybody tell me there must be something dead or rotting or some shit like that. This may be Hub's garage, but don't think I didn't go out there and check every nuk and cranny, throw out every piece of garbage, check for miscellaneous food items possibly left behind by kids, move the garbage cans to the other side of the yard, and check for poo maybe left behind by some unknown creature. I checked and double checked, but the only thing I can think of is that since we live out in the good ol country now, and we are surrounded by horses and pigs and cows and donkeys, that it's just part of the territory! But if you have any suggestions on terminating these bastards, please feel free to tell me! lol

Choppzs list of home invaders:
1. Bobcats
2. Scorpions
3. Wild cats
4. *NEW* flies

It's Fricken Wild America Here.....

Holy Cow peoples, I swear this house has some sort of animal magnetism or some crazy shit like that! First it was the bobcat and scorpion, now I have wild, crazy cats coming into the house. My friend and I went to go pick up some pizza for dinner last night. We pulled into the driveway and walked through the garage and into the breezeway that leads into the house. All of sudden we see something black and furry run and jump smack into the slider door. Then it whips around and smacks into the window. Holy shit, this thing was going berserk. After a couple seconds of watching the stupid thing ram into the slider and window numerous times with it's head, we crack open the front door(so to not let the kids or dogs out to get tore up by this mad cat) and yell at the guys to get their butts out there to help us. By this time I figure the stupid thing is dazed from slamming itself into the walls and windows so many times that it settled into the corner behind a few things. Hubs comes out and opens up the slider door. The cat doesn't move. So after a minute or two I am like "uh yah throw a shoe or something at it. I am not leaving this room till that cat is gone and the doors are shut!" So Hubs throws a shoe at it, and it races out the door. Holy cow, that thing was bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball. It must have came in through the garage while we were out getting the food. That'll teach me to leave any doors or windows open!

I Told Ya!!!

Check it out peeps, go say congrats to the new Baby Candy Corn!!!

Odd Visitor

Most likely due to the wildfires that have burning here in Southern Cali we have a visitor in the trees on the side of the property. His name is Bob and he is a cat. That's right, we have a bobcat in a tree on the side of the house. Our neighbor came over and told us this evening that his dog warned him of something over there. He got out his gun and spotted the guy sitting up in the branches. Animal control and the sheriff's dept. told him later to just let the guy be and he'll probably get down and leave on his own and most likely he is here because he got smoked out by the fires. As long as he isn't hurting anyone we have no reason to shoot him. But holy crap if I let the kids and dogs out unattended till I know he's gone. I can't get any decent pics just because I am not brave enough to get close enough to snap a good shot. So now just since this weekend we have encountered our first scorpion and now our first bobcat. Yahhhhhhh (that's dripping with sarcasm in case you couldn't tell! lol), I wonder what other creatures we may stumble upon out here at our new home???

Adventures of the Chrysler Town and Country

This weekend was hard work. Saturday was one of those days where we got a hair up our asses and just worked, worked, worked. As I may have stated in previous posts, I got that particular hair up my butt a couple weeks ago when I chopped the hell out of some bushes that were out front of the house. I hated those bushes. They completely blocked the view of the front of the house. So I went to town. I took my hedge clippers (which by the way aren't meant for the kind of trimming I did) and took those 3 bushes down to their roots. I took the trimmings and piled them all next to a tree until I could haul them all off to the back acre.
You can see in this pic, on each side of the kids there is a pile of roots. Those are the bushes that I chopped down.


Well this weekend I decided I was gonna haul this humungous pile of crap. I got out the wheelbarrow and took 2 loads out back to the second acre. Then I got sidetracked and took a little detrour with Crazy Boy out to the 3rd acre and looked at the neighbors donkeys, horses, cows and piggies. Then I got sidetracked again, and ended up picking up a wheelbarrow full of trash. Man these people were pigs. All kinds of scrap metal, old sheets and clothes, bottles, cans, cigarette butts, nails, anything you can think of these assholes left on the land. So after a half hour of walking in circles around the last 2 acres, I came back, unloaded my trash into the bin and went to go get some more debris to take back and unload.

Well while I was gone, Hubs and Girly got the idea to take a rope, tie it to the tree that the debris was piled against, run it under the pile of debris and make a bundle. That way we could just drag the whole thing back there and not have to make multiple trips. WONDERFUL! Less work and all that. Well....it ended up being quite the adventure!! lol

See we don't have a truck with a hitch. We don't have a hitch period. And that pile of brush was HEAVY! So as I am contemplating how the hell we are going to drag this thing Hubs comes up with his great idea. He is going to sit in the back of the van, hold onto the rope, and I will drive very slowly back to the 2nd acre while he drags this brush behind the van. Ok, that's cool, but that bitch is heavy. So picture this.

You got an almost 2 yr. old Baby Boy up in the passenger seat. Crazy Boy is inbetween the back seats on the floor, Girly is in the back back with Hubs, and Hubs is in the back back sitting on his butt, knees bent, a board across his knees that has the debris rope tied around it.

"Now go slow" he says "and take that turn really wide so that this doesn't get caught up on the well and stuff."

Okey dokey, no problem. I put the truck into gear, and start ever so slowly to move the van. After about 10 seconds I hear this humungous groan and "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Shit. I hit the breaks.

"What the hell is wrong?? Are you Ok?"

"Yah, yah, I'm fine. This shit is heavy, it almost pulled me out of the van!" All the while we are both laughing our asses off.

So now he gets a better grip on the rope tied 2x4. See at this point we are only a few feet from where we originally started. lol

"Ok, now go, but real slow!"

Put the van in gear once again. This time, I got a few more feet before I hear the groan and AHHHH shit thing again. Hit the breaks.

"You ok? Cause we can just stop now!" We'll find a different way to do this!"

"No, no, I'm good. Just go real slow! I gotta get a good grip on this thing. Be careful though, it might drag me out!"

Gee that's reassuring! lol

So I put the van in gear all the while hearing "slow, slow, ok, wait back up. Ok, now forward. Left..... no right.....Wait, wait wait."

Holy shit.

"your directions suck!!!"

So after a little bickering back and forth, we move once again.

By this time we finally move a ways and get to the second acre and are going through the chain link fence gate.

"OHHHH SHIT, STOP STOP STOP"

Crash, cursing, bang, bang.

Then laughing.

"Holy shit, that thing got caught up on the gate and almost dragged me right out!!"

By this time I am ready to put the damn van in park, and just call it quits. I am about to keel over!

In the meantime you have Girly back there about having a heartattack and laughing at the same time, Crazy sitting there half watching but mostly content at the fact that he doesn't have to be in his car seat and is in a moving vehicle, and Baby Boy sitting in the front seat, playing with my Sonic tator man.

So after getting readjusted and in his position, I am instructed to put the van back in gear and drive "ever so slowly" AGAIN!

This time we finally make it over to the pile of brush built up in the second acre and Hubs is able to let go of the damn rope. We push it over to the pile of shit, and leave it. We didn't even take the stupid rope off of it. Screw it! That rope was toast anyways. To much damn work! lol

Hub's arms and hands are red and shakey and his legs are about the same.

"That was hard damnitt! But it was really fun!!" he says! LOL

Now this is where it gets even more funny. If you all have ever lived on a farm, or not even a farm but whatever, I bet you remember sitting in the back of a truck or sitting on the tailgate and swinging your feet while someone is driving. Well as kids, me and my siblings used to do that all the time. Driving around the farm, just chillen out. It was great to be able to sit in the back of the truck. No seatbelts, nothing. Anyways, my kid's first experience with that was sitting in the back of our van. lol Hubs, Girly and Crazy sat in the back of the van and dangled their feet as I drove us back up to the first acre. LOL, I so wish I had grabbed the camera. We need a truck. My poor Chrysler van cannot take all this farm work! She's just not made to haul trees and brush, or drive around acres of sandy land!

So after that, I took the baby in for a nap, come out a half hour later to Hubs chopping down these 3 trees out in the front of the house. Not with a chainsaw, but with his axe!!! He was lumberjacking those trees!! lol
See those 3 trees right by the garage. Those are what got axed! lol

It was quite the productive day. Garage got cleaned out, brush got moved, trash got picked up, trees got chopped and kids got to partake in the not so traditional tailgate ride.

Then that night we had a bonfire to relax. Had a few friends over and let the kids roast marshmellows. And these are not your normal sized marshmellows. These are gigantic marshmellows. Hubs found them!

Here is Crazy after eating 1 and a 1/2 of them! lol


Here is Girly with her huge roasted marshmellow


And here is Baby Boy enjoying the bonfire!

Where to start

Well it feels like I've been doing absolutely nothing around here, but allot has seemed to acquire since i last posted. Hmmmm, where to start.

First I will say that slumber parties suck. Not for the kids mind you, but for the adults. It really makes you feel old when you are the cranky, witchy mom yelling at the girls to shut the hell up at 1 am. When did I become that bitchy mom?? I thought I was cool. lol. I guess I finally understand why my mom was such a bitch when I had friends over. Girly had her belated birthday slumber party. With the move being right around her birthday she wasn't able to have it then so we postponed it till this last weekend. It was her and 3 other girls. All was fine until around 11pm they decided they wanted to do something they call slumber bashing or something to that effect. My friend and I (yes, I called on support since Hubs decided to leave for the weekend) met in the hallway after hearing multiple bangs, booms and screeching. I knock on the door, open it up and ask what the heck is going on. The boys were already sleeping and if they woke them up they would not hear the end of it from me. The girls were all standing there with their sleeping bags over their heads and it was so calmly explained to me that it's a game they play. They put the sleeping bags over their heads and run into each other. Huh?? Yah, that's what I said. Who the hell does that?? 10 yr. old girls I guess. Geesh, we used to play light as a feather, stiff as a board and that kind of stuff, not beat the shit out of each other with your bags over your head kind of crap. Holy Cow.

The wildfires here are not in our area. I must say though, they are everywhere. At least a dozen or so fires burning all at one time. The news is broadcasting live 24/7 for the last 3 days. It's a big deal, I know, but come on, I don't need to see fire 24/7 to know that it's bad. Geesh, I've missed 3 days of my Days of our Lives. lol. I feel bad for the people that have lost everything, but at least it's things and not lives. Things that can be replaced. It all started to make me think of what I would take if I needed to evacuate (should I have time to gather a few things). What possessions do I feel cannot be replaced. Of course after my children and puppies are safely out of harms way, I would have to grab the hope chest my dad built me with all the kid's baby stuff, and memorabilia in it. Then I think the other main thing would be my rings. Not all of them mind you but at least I would slip on my 10 yr. anniversary band and my mother's ring that the kids got me. Those 2 are most important to me (I'd probably be wearing them already so that wouldn't be an issue). And of course our fire safe with all the important documents in it. Oh and Ugly Mugsy. Mugsy is an antique dog cookie jar that was my Grandparent's before they died. All hell broke loose when I got that cookie jar, so he'd be going with me also. All the other things could be replaced. I am sure though that Hub's list of items would be completely different from mine (tools, computer stuff, porn lol just kidding). I am curious to find out what exactly he would take if need be. Hmmm, I'll have to ask. lol

Girly went to her first Halloween party last night. She went as a supermodel. She was suppose to be a "dead supermodel" but we didn't have time to make her "dead" before she had to go. So she just got all dolled up with her makeup and wig and went as a "live" supermodel. lol. Don't ask me where she comes up with these things, but she wants to be a dead supermodel this year. lol.

Crazy is going to be Spiderman this year. This boy is obsessed with Spiderman. He's also has a knack for talking back and whining. This boy spends more time in the corner and in his room then anything else I swear! lol I just get so sick of hearing it that I just send him to his room until I don't feel like yanking my skull apart. Usually a good 10 mins or so. By then I let him out and the whole process starts over again! lol

Baby Boy isn't so Baby anymore. The terd is up on his feet and getting to be a bully. lol. He will hit, pinch and has even attempted to bite. He turns the TV off on his brother and will turn the volume up to full throttle. Then he laughs about it. He gave his brother a black eye a couple weeks back when he threw a bath toy at him in the tub and it hit him square in the eye. Then when Crazy is getting dressed, he will chase him around as soon as he is naked and laugh because Crazy seems to think he's going to pinch his butt or something so he screams and runs away. He runs over the dogs with anything he can find that moves. He's a brat!! lol But he is now sat in the corner and sent to his room also. That has seemed to help. He doesn't like that corner at all. Plus, when he pinches me, I pinch him back. He doesn't like that at all, and it solves that problem. At least for a few days! lol Yah, yah, yah, I know some people wouldn't agree with that, just like the whole spanking deal, but whatever, it works for me and he gets the idea that pinching hurts and he also learns that there are consequences.

OK, yah, this has now become a book, so I will be done with it. Still doing all sorts of work around the house, and yes pics will be soon. I suck, I know. What can I say?? lol

Ta ta ladies and gents!

Random Things/People I Hate....

Being this is the 2nd day of nothing but wind and crap outside, I have decided to dedicate this post to things I hate. I don't discriminate so therefore, I will be including some people.... lol

1. The wind. Now usually I don't mind the wind. In Michigan, I didn't mind the wind. But here in To Hot Shit Hole Cali, I HATE the wind. Sand everywhere. In my hair, mouth, clothes and yes, in my house. Hate it. Damn wind, go away!

2. Stray dogs. Now I am a dog lover. Those of you who know me know I am a big animal lover. But when you stray dogs wander onto my property, provoke my two dogs, and shit everywhere then I start to hate you.

3. Stray dog owners. You people that insist on not taking care of your animals and let them aimlessly wander onto other people's property!!!! You suck for not taking care of your animals.

4. Litterers. How fricken hard is it to take your trash, and stick it in your pocket, car or up your ass for all I care until you can get to a trash receptacle??? Geesh, it's not that hard!!

5. Random bits of metal, glass, plastic and other crap stuck in the ground that I step on and have to pick up. This goes along with those damn litterers!!

6. Cigarette Butts! This also goes along with you litterers! (I smoke, but I don't litter with my butts!!!)

7. That newscaster guy on the 6 a.m. news. He is soooo annoying I just want to shoot myself in the head when I listen to him.

8. The newscaster lady that sits beside the newscaster guy and laughs at him like he is hysterically funny every time he makes a stupid ass joke!! Pooowwwww, there's another bullet to the head!

9. Poopy diapers that leak through the diaper and into the clothes that the child is wearing and the child continues to walk, run and plop down on his butt until all the poopy has leaked out of the diaper and onto his skin and clothes. Why can't he somehow tell you he has pooed allot??? I don't know, but the smell kind of gives it away. How the heck does he sit in it for so long and not get grossed out??? Geesh, kids amaze me!

10. Those little pricker things that get stuck to my shoes and dogs and then get drug into the house, stuck in my carpet and then I step on them barefooted. Hate them.

11. Loud, obnoxious toys that the boys insist on turning up to full volume while I am on the phone.

12. Time Warner Cable customer service people. Complete idiots.

13. Time Warner Cable man that gives me a time slot of 11 am through 5 pm that they will be arriving. Yah, I don't have a life or anything, but occasionally I do like to leave the house!

14. Avatar the cartoon on Nickelodeon. I'm really starting to hate this show only because Hubs has taken an extreme liking to it, and there are about 10 episodes recorded on the dvr and we HAVE to watch them every night! lol (love ya babe! lol)

Ok, I am sure I could post a million other things, but I probably should go and check on the boys. They are being much to quiet and that usually means something bad is going on!!!
