New Year’s Resolutions

As I type those three words, New Year’s Resolutions, I know they will be broken in, OH, less than a week. Why do people do this to themselves? Do I really need to start the year off by disappointing myself by blowing these resolutions bigger than shit? So what am I going to blow this year?

Lose those 20 pounds that I have been needing to lose FOREVAH. I predict I will blow this one fairly quickly. Peanut M&Ms are my downfall and Hubby will bring them in quite regularly if I mention losing weight. It really is his fault I can’t lose weight, if he would quit bringing me goodies, I couldn’t eat them.

Make a budget *AH HAHAHAHAHA* and stick to it *AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA roll on floor and wipe tears from eyes* I make a budget every year and every year I figure out how to pay the bills on time and pay off those annoying little debts that hang over our head. All this plus manage to figure in food, gas and cigarettes. Yes, I have it all figured out then POOF something happens and it gets blown to hell and back in mere seconds.

Exercise, ahem, another yearly thing I promise to do. Another broken resolution. Pulled muscles, back thrown out, sickness, something always does me in. Or I could be honest and say…..” I don’t wanna do it.”

Eat healthier, yea this one is gonna happen, my body rejects healthy.

You may have noticed that quitting smoking is not on this list. It is not going to happen so I am not listing it. Yes, I would like to cut down, that would save money, but if I do I do, but if not, I am not going to disappoint myself by listing it.

So let me see what I can put on this list that I may actually stick to…….

Bitch More……Oh, yeah, I can do that! Hubby may not like it, but I can definitely do that one.

Drink more coffee. I have been doing that since Hubby has picked up this addiction. I have found myself enjoying coffee at night on a regular basis, could be why I haven’t been sleeping worth a shit. Yes I can see myself enjoying some Jack Danial’s coffee or a little Chocolate caramel coffee every evening. Hell who needs sleep?

Play more video games…..Hey with the Wii and the right game it could even be exercise! HHHHMMMMM, may have to rethink the whole exercise thing.

I think I can actually keep those going. So what are your New Year’s Resolutions? Will you keep them all year or will you fail right out of the gate?

I want to take this opportunity to Thank all of you for visiting with me here on a regular basis, you brighten my day with your comments and support. So THANK YOU!!!!!!! I also want to wish you all a safe and happy new year’s celebration! Until next time……..

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

Welcome Back Part 2

Welcome back to Day 2 of my holiday update, or WTH was I thinking. If you missed part one, just look at the post below. Otherwise it was….Nana died, Christmas Eve Gatherings x 4, Santa came, killer headache, and Bug engaged. Caught up? No, I’ll wait……..Ready onto Christmas Day Dinner at the MIL’s……..

Oh, the JOY! When asked what time dinner was, all MIL would say was when everyone gets here, no certain time. So dinner was done at 4:00, only no one knew it was done until she called at 5:30. And she was pissed, dinner was cold and if everyone would have gotten there, it would have been fitting to eat. According to her, she should just fling it out to the dogs. Oh, well, if she wants everyone there at a certain time, she should tell someone. I think she was really mad because SIL was at my house and couldn’t go to her house. And to make matters worse, Easy E and Wifey didn’t come.

From there, yes, there is more…… We went to my mom and dad’s house for gift bags with my aunt, dad’s sister. She gives us the greatest bags!! I love these bags, you never know what will be in them. She hits closeouts, clearance sales, freebie aisles, you name it if it is cheap or free, she is there. She picks stuff up all year and puts it in a box in the attic and at Thanksgiving she drags it all out and divides it up into bags for each person. This year in my bag……holiday hand towel, angel ornament, lotion, a manicure set, a candle, socks, a book of home remedies, a book of 100 uses for vinegar, potato chip bag clip, an adjustable measuring cup and spoon, coke can covers with bee guards, a small bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel coffee (Hubby got Jack Daniels coffee, yum) and more stuff than I can remember. The men all gets ball caps instead of hand towels. I love these bags, it’s like a treasure chest.

After we visited for a while we headed home and hubby got on the computer and piddled around and I played Wii with Little Miss.

Friday was play day I guess. I played Wii with Little Miss most of the day. Hubby piddled outside, The Boy he was in and out of the yard all day. I played “Meet the Robinson’s” for over 4 hours! I could grow to hate this game, I have gotten addicted I guess. It has these missions and I just couldn’t quit until I finished a mission and it was making me think! I actually had to use my brain! I hate that!!!! If it hadn’t been for Little Miss, I would have never found my way around in this game, I kept getting lost. We also bowled, rode a cow, played pool and shot stuff, we laughed until my sides hurt! We were having a ball, until…….

Dinner at MIL’s AGAIN!!!!!!! I was pleasantly surprised to find out she had done finger foods and it was better than her usual meal! Meatballs in BBQ sauce, Lil’ Smokies in BBQ sauce, nachos and cheese, ham and cheese wrapped in croissants, cheese squares, spinach dip and Ritz crackers, sweet bread with some sort of orange dip, sausage balls, chocolate covered pretzels and a lot more. I ate until I almost burst! It was a nice change for her. Easy E called and said Wifey had to work all day and she was feeling bad so they wouldn’t make it, but otherwise it went well. The kids opened gifts and surprise were actually happy with what they got. Little Miss got a DS game, a Wii game and a Fur Real puppy.

Then we did Dirty Santa, the game I always get screwed at. I got #2 and what did I get?…………….I got……………Drum roll please………………A GOOD GIFT!!!!!!! I got a casserole dish, not the one I took, but something actually for a woman!!!!

Bug was a little upset, she had wanted to announce her engagement but the word was already out, there was some discussion as to who actually let the word out, we decided to blame Red. The Boy left out early. We came home and hubby got back on the computer, I swear when he is at home he is on the computer, me and Little Miss played Wii.

The Boy rolled in around 2am with girlfriend in tow! I am not real “cool” with him bringing his girlfriend home to spend the night. Yes, found out it is a girlfriend! I really must sit him down and have a long talk with him.

On Saturday the Hellions were at MIL’s so Little Miss played outside most of the day. I cleaned the house, complete with The Boy and Little Miss’ rooms! They were awful! Hellion #1 brought Guitar Hero into the house, he is like an expert or something at it. *insert eye roll here* He is good at it, but he knows it and brags about how good he is! I just want to smack the crap out of him. Constantly taking controllers away from the others to “show” them how to do it.

Little Miss spent the night with SIL and her step granddaughter. The Boy’s girlfriend stayed again. I have heard a bit of her story from outside sources and I feel a little better about letting her stay, but I am still not real happy with them sharing a room!. I guess I can’t complain, it was Saturday night and The Boy was home all night! She seems like she may be good for him.

Little Miss came home early on Sunday morning. We went to clean the office and as soon as we got home, I started feeling woozy. Crampy, achy, just all over crappy! Hubby was in and out all day trying to avoid company. His cousin is off for the next couple of months and he hates to stay at home with his wife and kids, but he gets on hubby’s nerves being over here all the time. I bet he made like a hundred trips over here that day! Little Miss spent the night with Grandma. I sat around and felt awful most of the evening. The Boy and The Girl were here then she got a call and they said they would be back in an hour or so and they left. The Boy was back in 5 minutes, apparently she just wanted him to take her to meet her friend and then they would bring her home. He came in mad!!! She came in about an hour later, I guess they worked everything out.

Well, that brings us to Monday and I still felt bad but I managed to wash clothes and get the house straightened up again. Little Miss came home and wanted to play Wii, but I told her I just didn’t feel like it. Hubby worked and came in ill as a hornet. I hate when he is off a few days he just don’t want to go back to work. The Boy had over night company again, I swear I think she has moved in.

It is a short week, but I should be here tomorrow, but then I will be off until Monday again. I will be so glad when all this holiday stuff is over and life gets back to normal! So until next time……………..

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Back!!!!

It is so good to be back! I have missed all of you! I may well do this update in two different post, I wouldn’t want to be the cause of a bunch of people going crossed eyed from reading. I will just have to wait and see how it goes…..

Let us start on a bit of expected but bad news. Our Nana died on Tuesday afternoon. Little Miss went out to have her daily talk with Nana and found her laying peacefully in the middle of her pen. She had a long life, but she will be sorely missed…..

Since Little Miss had such a miserable day dealing with Nana’s death, The Boy gave her his gift to her, “The Sim’s Apartment Pets” for her DS. It is a neat little game, but she decided that it could be used to drive me INSANE!!!!! All I heard the rest of the day was, ” Mom show me how to do it! Just give it to me I will show you how to do it!” My question is……If she can do it why the hell is she asking me to show her!!!????!!!!

Once hubby got home, we had a small funeral service for Nana. It was quite nice, until Little Miss complained hubby was covering Nana up to roughly. It wasn’t like her was jumping up and down on her to pack the dirt over her, just pitching the dirt on to her. Whatever, she has a rock for a headstone and is still in the ground and I am grateful for that. I had feared other dogs would come through and dig her up. But thankfully, she has been able to rest in peace.

The Boy had overnight company again! What the hell am I running here? A halfway house, a brothel? I ain’t making any money so I think a brothel is out, but really. He didn’t ask, she just showed up and didn’t leave. Whatever!

Onto Christmas Eve…… The giggle couple kept me up until after 2am and I got up at 7am, so I was one tired mother. As  I figured I couldn’t get The Boy’s ass out of bed, so I had my dad come get me and Little Miss. Damn Lil’ Crapper, I want my car fixed! Unbelievably, everything went smoothly! My aunt was an hour late, as usual, but the food was great! I ate way too much, as always. Hubby got there late, he had to work a full day, he hoped to get off a bit early but, NNNNOOOOOO. We went to hubby’s Granny’s house, almost everyone was gone. Just a couple of brothers, a sister and of course MIL. All the food was either gone or put up, so there was nothing to eat. Which was OK, because we were all full from Momma’s and I wasn’t looking forward to MIL cooking anyway. We had a nice little visit with Granny, who may have a touch of Alzheimer’s but did remarkably well remembering all of us.

We went back to mom and dad’s to do gifts, but my aunt and her daughter were still there. My parent’s won’t do gifts until all have left and I thought they would never leave!!!! Right after they left, my brother found out that my cousin had asked Granddaddy to loan her the money to get a trailer, I am soooo glad they had left before he found out! He would have blown a gasket all over her, in front of everyone. Needless to say he was pissed. We finally got to open gifts once he had voiced his opinion on how sorry she was for asking for more money. Everybody had a lot of gifts. My brother used totes to package all of the men’s gifts, a great idea.

Hubby got jeans, shirts, hair clippers (no more borrowing mom’s every time he wants a hair cut.) Dexter Season 2 and a bunch of stuff! The Boy got jeans, shirts, a game for his Xbox, necklace, ring, a bunch of stuff. Little Miss got a game for her DS, a movie, clothes, necklace, a tiny digital camera, a bunch of stuff. NOW ME!!!!!!!!

In this box, 2 pairs of sweat pants, 5 shirts, a pair of pajama bottoms and a pair of jeans. WOOT! Clothes, I needed that!

This box, I love this box! It contained a few perfume samples, a fortune cookie, an Auburn Ornament, a shirt, a lot of little things. But really I just love this box! I now have another place to hide things!

This jewelry holder, I love my little headless things! I am not sure what I will put on her, but I will have her displayed in all of her prettiness!

This Auburn plaque, I love my Auburn plaque. It is proudly displayed in my flower garden in front of my Lil’ Crapper! The Boy says it will be good for target practice, I will show him target practice, black iron skillet to the head! heh!!

This plaque I absolutely adore! Lord knows I have had my fair share of obnoxious teenagers and not so teenagers!

I think this is my new favorite saying! Not sure where I am putting it, but I love it.

I think I had a good night! From there……Easy E and Wifey came over for our Christmas. They seemed happy with what they got and I know I love my gift…..

SO CUTE! They didn’t stay long, you know Santa on his way and all. Once they headed out, Little Miss started her yearly ritual of I am too excited to go to sleep. She finally went to sleep at 12:30!!!!!!! This is where the fun started…….

Santa came and I went to bed with the headache to eat all other headaches!!!! And I was having a few back spasms to boot, I got as comfy as I could and thought I could go on to sleep, well I was wrong. Hubby rolled over and put his elbow right between my shoulder blades. I moved, then he proceeded to kick my foot! He was a sleep, I am sure of it, I will give him the benefit of doubt. I have no clue why he started doing it, but he wouldn’t quit. I finally got moved far enough away that he couldn’t reach me. This was at about 1am. Little Miss got up at 1:15 to tell us Santa had been here! Hubby told her to go back to bed. And she did! Until 2am! He told her to go back to bed and she did after she checked out the pile a bit more fully. I finally got to sleep around 3am! Little Miss actually stayed in the bed until 7am, then she demanded that we get up! I got up with the same killer headache I went to bed with. It was at this point I discovered my camera was a piece of shit! NO before picture for me!!!!!

For some reason it would take a picture like every 10 minutes and after a couple it would say the battery was dead and refuse to take anymore! I put new batteries in it 4 times!!!!!

This is the before picture I got. Only it wasn’t before, it was in the middle! NO picture of the Wii being opened! It was the first one opened, because when she was checking out her gifts at 2am, she figured out which one was most likely the Wii and opened it first! They run quickly through the rest of the gifts. The Boy got tools. He asked for tools, but I had not planned on it being his only gifts, Hubby had other ideas. But he seemed happy. Little Miss got her Wii and a couple of games and seemed happy for 5 minutes.

This is the only other picture I got! I am pissed!!! Once The Boy started playing Wii with Little Miss things looked up for a few minutes. I cooked Christmas Breakfast, this is not a tradition I want to continue. Usually we just eat candy from the stockings, but no not this year, they want biscuits and bacon. SO I cooked it! SO much for resting!

Hellion #2 came over and Little Miss and he fought over the Wii games. He brought Wii Sports and Wii Play, Little Miss did not get these games, I want these games! I whipped The Boy’s ass in bowling, then he beat me. I WHOOPED his ass in Tennis, then he beat me. He didn’t want to play with me anymore, so I bowled with Little Miss and The Hellion and he beat us both. For the record, I didn’t know bowling was such a physical game! The Boy almost socked me in the eye bowling and we almost beat the hell out of each other during Tennis. Note to self……Little Miss’ room is not big enough to play the Wii in!

MIL came over and ruined my day. I got busy cleaning. I managed to save some bows, bags and boxes from my husband before he was able to burn them all. I gave him paper and tore up boxes to satisfy his Pyro tendencies! Hubby piddled outside as I dealt with my massive headache and queasy stomach and awful back and leg pain. Little Miss played outside with the Hellion. I managed to get a quick nap in before SIL came in crying………

Bug is now engaged to the 25 year old boyfriend she just got back with a week ago! If you recall Bug is only 17. I had heard he was going to do it, but kept my mouth shut because what he was going to do was the tackiest thing I had ever heard of and I was hoping he would change his mind. NO SUCH LUCK! What was so tacky about the ring you ask? He had given this ring to an ex girlfriend ( He was with her for a month or so) , When they broke up, she gave him the ring back……Now he is giving it to Bug for an engagement ring! I so want to tell her! But I won’t. SIL is so upset, but they swear it will be a couple of years before they get married, after Bug gets out of college. I foresee them get married right after her birthday, if they stay together. We shall see.

I am quitting here, tomorrow I will pick up at MIL dinner…….Until next time……..

HAVE A GREAT TIME AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

Let the madness begin!

Well, this will be it for the week. Hubby has to work a full day tomorrow but I will be at my mom and dad’s as early as possible so that I may scope out presents with my name on them. heh! I am told I have the most, because really I am just a cheap person, rather I want cheap things, mom was able to find many things for me that were cheap in price. Little Miss seems to have survived her stomach virus and thus far I have not shown signs of it and neither has hubby. Though he did figure out the most likely source for it, seeing how SIL is now complaining of sickness, according to her….The worst thing she has had in memory. Hubby seemed to recall SIL mentioning that her husband’s granddaughter had vomited the morning that they babysat for her and that she just didn’t seem herself all day, she just wasn’t happy at all. HMMMMM, reckon where they may have gotten this virus from? The mystery may have been solved.

I thought I would take you on a journey of what is going to be my life for the next few days. So are you ready? Let’s go……..

So it is all starting today really. I have to wrap 3 more gifts (yes, DIL CDs came in, left in a soaking wet mailbox, Thank You very much bad mail lady! And I finally came up with one more box for my brothers gift) and I get to make my apparently award winning baked beans for my SIL to take to work tomorrow. (She makes them and her husband informs her they are good, but just not mine. So every time she has to take food she has me make baked beans for her.) Then I get to listen to Little Miss really want to open a gift, just one from her brother. That is all she wants to do. PLEASE!!!!! And I get to listen to The Boy gripe and complain when I tell him I think that Mammaw is doing her thing Friday night and that will absolutely ruin his night! Then hubby will come in griping because he has to work a full day tomorrow. So let the Christmas Spirit spring forth! So once I get past all of that I will get to try to get Little Miss to go to sleep, should be an easy task. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

So on to Christmas Eve morning. The day should start out wonderfully with me trying to drag my son’s 200 pound ass out of the bed. He is not going to want to get up and then he is not going to want to take me to my mom’s. So it should be a wonderful treat. Once I get him up and going, I will get to fight with Little Miss and get her going. If the little Hellions are at MIL’s she is not going to want to go. So once I get everybody going, I can get over to my mom’s. We are having a small gathering this year, just us, my brother and my aunt and her daughter. And of course my grandaddy. I thought this would be a smooth gathering, no tension, but I have been told my cousin has asked my grandaddy if she found a repo trailer, would he loan her the money to buy it. She would of course pay him back, yea right! She has a track record, of the near 40 thousand dollars she has borrowed from him, she has paid back zippo, zilch, nada, nothing!  So let the tension mount! Having this knowledge and not saying anything about it is going to be a hard thing to do. What I would like to do is cuss her up one side and down the other and ask her why she thinks she is so special that she should get so much from him. But being the polite southern belle that I am I will sit back and be the nicest young thang I can be. I will grit my teeth and smile as I cuss under my breath.

Once we leave my mom’s, we will head out to Hubby’s granny’s house for the dinner that we have over there. We will not sit with the old folks and women, we will sit with the brothers, which are all drunks! They will cuss and fuss and raise immortal hell and we will enjoy it, until MIL makes her appearance that she always makes and ruins it for everyone. We will also eat there, MIL’s food, let the stomach churning begin.

From there we will head back to my parent’s house for the family gift exchange. My brother will be asleep and we will have to wait for him to wake up to open gifts, which will set off the children’s gripes of why can’t we do it with out him. Little Miss will grumble about how she can’t miss Santa and if Uncle C makes us stay out late and she misses Santa and she is going to hurt him. His dog, will be sniffing everyone and  getting on everyone’s nerves. He will also be begging food and drooling in the floor. We are having finger foods for that and coffee, hubby will get coffee. So once my brother hauls his ass out of the bed, we will open gifts. JOY! I however will not get to enjoy my gifts because I will be going through the torture of  undoing all of those packages my loving daughter will insist demand lovingly ask me to open once I get a chance. We will then get to finally head home. We will throw out the Reindeer Feed so that Santa’s reindeer will remember to hit our house, we will unload the car, Hubby will take everything out of the boxes and try his damnedest to throw away every box he can get his grubby little hands on. I will spend the next hour or so trying to save said boxes from the burn pile. We will set out Cookies and Milk and try to get Little Miss is the bed. The whole time she will try to convince us she is too excited to go to sleep and fuss that we are still up and that Santa won’t come until we go to sleep.

That brings us to Christmas morning! Santa has came and went and Little Miss has gotten up her brother and they have patiently sat and waited until 6am, the unofficial time their father has said was a decent hour to get him up. ( I must say I used to get  up at 3am and pounce on my parent’s bed until they got their blurry eyed bodies out of the bed. I can’t believe the kids have taken him serious all of these years!) Once I have taken the ever annoying before picture and fixed up that ever important, I won’t kill you now, first cup of coffee, the wrapping paper will fly. They will barely see what they have gotten until the last gift is open. Santa has a way of putting the big gift on the bottom of the pile, so it is the last one opened. I will only make them sit still for one AFTER picture before letting them go and enjoy their gifts. Hubby will spend the next hour cleaning up the wrapping paper and boxes, I swear he is a neat freak only at Christmas. He has this irresistible urge to burn shit all Christmas morning. Boxes, paper, anything.

Once we have gotten past hubby’s pyromaniac tendency, we will, this year, get to sit and enjoy Christmas Day, well until MIL has her dinner. Yes, she has decided to do a dinner on this day too. Who the hell knows why. It was suppose to be finger foods and gifts, but somehow it has turned into a dinner and no gifts. Let the torture begin as the kiddos lose their minds wanting to open gifts only to be told they must wait another day. The hellions will have waaayyyy more crap than Little Miss and they will make sure to rub her nose in it. We will eat and then be miserable. MIL will piss someone off and everyone will leave annoyed. Oh, The Christmas Spirit will run rampant through that house. Once we get back to our little house and all of the gifts have found their own little place, I will finally be able to sit back and relax. That is until……

MIL’s house on Friday! Yes again she will manage to piss off at least one person, if not more. We will do the Dirty Santa thing and if it goes like the past, I will end up with a man’s gift because someone will bring a gift that can go either way (a movie) and a woman will end up with it and that will leave an extra man’s gift and guess who gets it. Yes, that would be me and I am not really into this little game and I just can’t take a gift that someone is happy with away from them. I know that is the whole idea behind this game but, I just can’t do it. I have gotten tie straps, screwdrivers, and a knife. All of which hubby has ended up with. This year I would truly love to get the gift I carried. A casserole dish and stand. I won’t get it, but I can always dream.

Once that is all over, Hubby will start his annual grumbling of when all this crap is coming down so the house can get back to normal. For the record, it comes down about January 2nd or 3rd. Or later if I can’t get my ass in gear to get it down. I hope to get to play games with my kids, without having to fight with them for my turn. And that is what I will get to do for the next few days, Wanna trade?

I hope all of you have a safe holiday season and a Merry Christmas. I will return on the Monday after Christmas, hopefully with pictures of the carnage of Christmas morning and tales of our wonderful get togethers. Until then…….

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!

The madness has started!

How was your weekend? This weekend started the madness around here!

Little Miss came home from grandma’s, I knew she would. It is too close to Christmas for her to be staying 2 nights in a row. We did get up and go shopping, finished all of it except a few stocking stuffers. Santa has had a year, trying to get things without Little Miss’ knowledge is a hard thing.

Well, my MIL did it again! Every year she pisses my SIL off and usually it is at the dinner but this year she managed to do it over the phone before the dinner was even here! Here is the whole story, or at least the whole story as I heard it.

MIL wanted to have her dinner on the Sunday before Christmas. We would do the gift exchange and all on one day. Then she found out that Hubby’s Grandmother was not having Christmas dinner this year. That is when she decided to do the dinner on Sunday and then have finger foods and the gift exchange on Christmas Day in the afternoon. She can’t be happy with just one day, she must spread the torture out over several days. Everyone said it would be OK, except SIL, who said her husband’s grandmother did Christmas day, but it would be in the early afternoon and they wouldn’t stay long so if the timing was  right she could do it, she was pretty sure, but would have to check it out. So she checked it out, turns out her hubby’s grandmother changed the times this year and there was no way she could do both. She called MIL and the fight ensued! SIL asked if we could do it all on Sunday the way it was planned in the beginning, she could still do Christmas Day but they wouldn’t be there until later and she didn’t want to mess up anything. MIL said NO, she was doing Christmas Day! SIL asked if she could move it until the day after Christmas. She was met with a  big NO, because Easy E couldn’t do it then. SIL called Easy E, Friday would be fine with them, she called Red, Friday was fine with them, she called me, Friday was fine with us. She called MIL and told her everyone said Friday was fine, she was told it would be Christmas Day or we would just forget the whole thing! Apparently things turned ugly from there, things were said, ugliness was spewed and all matter of Christmas spirit was tossed out the door. SIL decided she just wouldn’t do any of it! Not the dinner, not the gift exchange, nothing. She called as I was trying to shop I tried to calm her , but she was making sense and I just couldn’t even try to reason with her. So looks like Christmas is going to be interesting!

I got up early on Saturday morning, fully expecting to hear MIL side of the story. Yet, she disappointed me, she never said a word. I guess she couldn’t twist it to make SIL look bad and her look good so she opted to just let it go. Hubby spent the entire day outside. He has decided to clean up the shop and start tinkering around in there a bit more. The Boy has destroyed it and it could take a while to get it straightened out again.

The Boy came home from a night out, he brought his friend with him. His friend had broken his hand during the night. During a drunken something or other, he hit a wall and broke all the bones in his hand. Ain’t the teenage years of drinking and hormones a grand thing! I haven’t fully understood exactly what went on, something about beer cans thrown on The Boy’s car and ant poison poured all over his car and him getting mad and somehow the friend got involved, none of it makes sense and I never expect to get the full story. All I have figured out is The Boy and his friend are still buddies and there is no hard feelings there.

Little Miss helped SIL babysit her hubby’s granddaughter. So we took the opportunity to  finish up the stocking stuffers. I couldn’t find anything I wanted but if I don’t get back to town I will be happy with what I have. I just can’t seem to get it together this year. Everything has came in except the 2 CDs I ordered for my daughter in law, I am just hoping they come in. Or she will have near nothing under the tree.

So Sunday rolls around and we went to clean that damn office, with all the rain we have been getting here lately it was a mess. I have grown to hate cleaning that office and I have tried to give it up a couple of times, but the boss man just doesn’t want to do it himself and he can’t hire anyone else to do it. He finds a way to con the Hubby into continuing it.

Dinner at MIL was less dramatic than I expected. I was rather disappointed. SIL was there and it is my understanding we will be opening gifts on Friday, I guess Red put her two cents in and convinced my MIL it would be the right thing to do. As always, dinner sat like a ton of bricks squarely on my chest and I was miserable all evening. I was awakened several different times through the night. The Boy came in to tell me a friend had been left in town by other friends and he was going to get her. This was around midnight. At about 1:30 he came in to ask if she could stay the night, because she had been locked out of her house. He would sleep on the couch and give her his bed. At around 2am, Little Miss started showing up to inform me that she had gotten sick. At first I thought it may have been MIL’s dinner had been hard on her stomach, but after the 3rd time, I had to admit it is probably a stomach virus. No fever and no other complaints, except she can’t hold anything on her tummy. Wonderful holiday vacation!

So today I guess I will be taking care of Little Miss, trying to clean up the house and washing clothes. It should be a treat. Little Miss has decided she wants her daddy and he is working and has no idea when he will be home. The Boy will disappear when he carries the  girl home and that will leave me and her and the dog with the never ending heat cycle! Yes, Daisy is still in heat and it is driving me insane! So until tomorrow………..

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Santa is almost here!

I am back, did you miss me? Hubby was off work yesterday and that really screws with my blogging time! The Boy had to go to court over a couple of traffic tickets and he was going with him, but at the last minute he changed his mind and stayed home. He was out in the shop most of the day, but he popped in the house often.

I wrapped Christmas all day. Started with Santa’s batch, I found Santa’s paper under my bed. I still lack almost all of The Boy’s Santa, his has been ordered but has not been delivered yet. I am beginning to worry, I have no way to track it. I moved on to family gifts, I found that paper under my bed too. I guess I put it there thinking I would know where it was this year. I guess I was wrong! I only have one gift left to wrap for family. My brother’s gift. I got him a mirror cover for his I-Phone, it is really thin and I am afraid to wrap it as it is for fear it will get lost. I don’t have a box to put it in that wouldn’t swallow it whole and I don’t have a bag that will work either. I will have to pick up something when I go out to finish getting gifts.But all the other gifts I have are wrapped and under the tree! I was very proud of myself.

The Boy was due in 2 different courts on traffic tickets, luckily one was in the morning and one was in the evening. He has to pay about 300 bucks for the first one and about 150 dollars at the second one. The second one should have been thrown out, but it was our city court and  it is money hungry! So of course, he has to pay it. Proof of insurance and improper alignment of headlights. The first is OK, but the 2nd one is just crazy! And he couldn’t show proof he adjusted the headlights because he no longer has the vehicle! Oh, well, I guess he will get it paid somehow. I am not going to worry about it.

Little Miss had her Christmas party at school yesterday. She got a little jewelry set of some sort, she is happy with it. She sent a Christmas bear that lights up and the little girl who got it, traded it off to someone else. I thought the bear was adorable, but what do I know? I think it hurt Little Miss’ feelings, but she knows the little girl is a bit of a brat. The little girl is constantly telling Little Miss that she is better than her (<—Little Miss). Makes me want to find the little girl and snatch a knot in her ass! Little Miss was suppose to go to school for  4 hours today, but I let her stay out. The teachers encourage it, they don’t want to be there either and all the kids do is play.

Little Miss has her mind set that she is going to spend 2 nights with her grandma, I don’t see it, but she thinks she is. She stayed last night and we didn’t go shopping, she wants to stay tonight too, but I doubt she will get to. That would be helpful because I had planned on shopping tonight. I have a few more things I have to get, stocking stuffers, a few family gifts and finish up Easy E and his wife’s Christmas. I also have to get stamps to mail my Christmas cards or I might as well not send them out!

Five more days to Santa makes his worldwide trip, are you ready? I am not. Santa needs to delay it a few more days and let me get prepared for his arrival, but he isn’t going to do that so I guess I should just get ready for him.

My mom is having Christmas Eve dinner and she is pulling her hair out. I don’t know why, she does it every other year. My aunt does one year and my mom does the next, but this year my aunt can’t do it. It would be a big deal if it was like it used to be, the whole clan showing up, between 30 and 40 folks, but it is only going to be us, my brother and my aunt and her daughter. A small gathering to say the least. But for some reason she is a nervous wreck! My aunt is bringing the turkey and dressing and my mom is coming unglued. “What if the turkey is too small?”, “What if she forgets to make part of the dressing without onions?” ,”What if they are late and dinner is ready and they aren’t here?” , “What if they decide not to come?” My aunt is always late, but they always show up. She just needs to call and find out how big the turkey is and besides she is cooking a ham too. And my aunt has always remembered to make part of the dressing without onions and if she doesn’t my dad can just eat onions or do without. I have tried to tell her, but she just won’t listen.

Well, I guess I should go and accomplish something. I don’t know what I need to accomplish but I should accomplish something. So until next time…..

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

Who woulda thought

As most of you know I have been married FOREVAH! OK, 21 years but it feels like forever. When we first got married I was the jealous sort. NO, really, I was that wife. You know her, she greets her husband at the door with, “Where have you been? Who have you been with? What did you do? What took you so long?” Yes, I am surprised he stayed married to me. I couldn’t help it, we were young and he was a cutey patootie! And he was and is a very friendly person, which only made things worse.

Case in point. When he drove a truck for his dad, they got fuel at the same store everyday. And everyday he got a biscuit of some sort. At this store there was a young woman that worked in the deli section. My husband not only ordered his biscuit, he spoke to her daily. He would say, “Hi, how ya doin? Do you have a (whatever kind of) biscuit? Behave yourself today, see you tomorrow.” (This isn’t exactly what he said, but merely what he told me in the end, I wasn’t there so I don’t have a clue what he actually said.) How dare he flirt so shamelessly with this girl! I mean, please, he might as well have thrown her on the floor and had sex! At that point he was still young and skinny and he wore those tight blue jeans and t-shirts with his boots and he looked GOOD! *please excuse me while I splash a bit of cold water on my face………Flashbacks are wonderful………….* OK, anyway, he was friendly with her. (For the record he was friendly to everyone there) We went in there one Friday night and the young lady was in there. We didn’t see her but she saw us. On Monday morning, he went in and the young lady wasn’t there and he asked where she was. He was told that she had quit on Friday night after finding out he was married. Apparently she thought they had a thing and after finding out he was married she couldn’t take seeing him everyday.

He thought it was funny. He said he hadn’t done anything to make her think that there was anything going on other than him getting a biscuit every morning. I told him to stop being so friendly, he didn’t listen. On a couple of occasions he has had women think something was  going on.

I even called a physic one time. Hey I was young and I got 10 minutes free and I was bored and thought what the hell! Who cares about when world peace will happen, I asked if hubby would ever cheat on me. What was her answer? That my husband was a leader not a follower and as long as I understood and accepted this, we would be together a long time. What the hell does that mean? Almost 20 years later I still don’t understand her answer! Does it mean he is going to be a rock star and have millions of adoring fans? Is he going to start a cult and have many wives? What the hell? Did she really answer my question? I guess since it was free it was worth what I paid!

Over the years, I have grown up and decided that my husband is trustworthy and I have nothing to fear as far as an affair goes. When his dad hired a woman to drive his truck and she constantly asked my husband to do things for her, sat around while he was working on the truck and even when she sent the Christmas card and mentioned no one but my husband, I thought nothing of it. OK, I thought something of it, I thought she was a bitch and I did not like her, but I had no fear my husband was looking at her as anything more than an annoyance.

I laughed when he told me that yet another girl had attached herself to him and had gotten very upset when she found out he was married. Apparently she felt they were on track to an engagement. She actually cussed him out in the middle of a store. I wish I had been there. According to him all he ever said was “HI”. I told him he was way to friendly for his own good and he was going to have to pay attention to what he was saying and quit leading these girls on. I think he got a bit of an ego boost, she was quite a bit younger than him. It did help me out in the bedroom area though. Really a little young thing fawning over your husband really boosts his ego and when he feels sexy, then he is more likely to show it!

I really thought I was so far beyond being jealous that I wouldn’t even recognize it if it jumped up and bit me on the ass. But I was so wrong. What happened to bring it all flooding back? I haven’t a clue. Maybe it is the 40 pounds that I have gained since getting married, the graying hair or never having the energy to play the way we used to. Maybe it is the kids, the animals, the weather. Maybe it is the fact that he has had a few weeks of  no interest in jumping my bones 200 times a day. Yes, I fussed that I couldn’t walk across the kitchen without him grabbing at me. I griped that he was constantly grabbing at me and it was driving me crazy. Maybe it is because he spends a good bit of time at the store. (I trust him and the woman at the store, I have no fear that anything is going to happen.) Maybe it is hormonal! Maybe it is an article that I read in a magazine that talked about how and why men cheat.

Whatever it is, I have noticed me paying attention to what he says and what he looks at. I have been watching the women in town a little closer, paying attention to what he is wearing when he goes out without me. I have not dipped back into checking his pockets, looking through his wallet or sniffing his clothes. Oh, don’t laugh, you know at some point you have sniffed the clothes of your husband (or wife) to see if you smell a different cologne or perfume. And you must admit at some point you paid attention to your husband (or wife) to see if they are wearing a special cologne or nicer than usual clothes when they go out without you. Oh, Lord, Please tell me I am not the only one!

Anyway, I had a few fleeting moments of jealousy and worry. But I think I have gotten over it. Yesterday, when he came home, he was in a good mood and back to his grabbing self. I couldn’t walk near him without him grabbing my ass. Yes, he is back to his old, grabbing self and I am feeling a bit more confident about him not straying. Oh, I am still watching the little girls in town, some actually leering at my man, but instead of worrying, I will pull him a little closer and show him off a bit.

So tell me….Has this ever happened to you? Is it normal to, after 20+ years, to fall back into worry like that? Could it be because more and more couples are divorcing after 20+ years of marriage? Please just let me know I haven’t lost my mind. Until next time……

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

Today is going to be a better day!!

I just know it is. Yesterday sucked big ole donkey balls and I have to believe today will be better or I will climb into the bed and hide.  Nothing major happened yesterday, no broken bones, no deaths, nothing major, just a series of small things that added up to a crappy day. Ever had a day like that? A day where you swear if it doesn’t improve you will be forced to shoot someone in the foot just to feel better. (How that would help, I don’t know but it just felt right yesterday.)

It all started Sunday night. Little Miss was having trouble going to sleep. Which meant she just kept getting up to tell me she couldn’t go to sleep. This always means she has done something she shouldn’t have or she knows something I should know and she is feeling a bit guilty. I don’t know how that works but every so often she gets a guilty mind and just can’t settle into sleep until she gets a few things off her chest. This time was no different, after about 20 minutes of  “I can’t go to sleep. Something is bothering me and I don’t know what it is. What could it be momma? I am sleepy and I just can’t go to sleep.” She finally confessed that her little friend “Emma” had planned on asking her to spend the night and since I won’t let Little Miss stay without talking to the mom, “Emma” was going to have her cousin call and claim to be the mom and say it was OK for Little Miss to spend the night.

I have never liked this little girl very much. She is one of those kids that just seem to rub me the wrong way. Little Miss is constantly coming home upset because “Emma” is mad at her because Little Miss wanted to play with someone else or didn’t want to play what “Emma” wanted to play and now they aren’t friends. “Emma” is constantly calling off friendships with someone. And she lies. And this is the same girl who convinced Little Miss it would be OK to write a note saying she could ride the bus home with her (Emma) and spend the night and I would be OK with it! I would have had a heart attack if my child had not come home! I got lucky and the bus driver didn’t think it looked like my handwriting and wouldn’t let them get by with it.

After confessing she went right on to sleep. Then I went to bed and started coughing and I was up until after 3am! I barely cough all day, OK, I cough all day, but it is not that bad. But for some reason when I lay down I start coughing and keep coughing until I can’t breath. At least during the day, I cough once or twice and it is over. Anyway, when the alarm went off I wasn’t in any mood to get up. I did, but I wasn’t happy about it. I wasn’t ill just sleepy. Little  Miss decided this would be a great day to pull her  “I am still sleepy and I can’t pick out my clothes when I am sleepy. We should have picked my clothes last night. Well, I can’t pick clothes if I don’t know what the temperature is going to be! GAWD, You are so stuuuupppppiiiidddddd! You are being a butthead!” tirade. I chose to ignore this tirade, I thought  I did really well by not beating her senseless right then and there. But she finally got up and in the shower.

Then hubby called and he was in a bad mood. I want to say this up front…….”I DID NOT CAUSE HIS BAD MOOD!!!!!!” I did not cause the salesmen to give bad directions. I did not cause him to deliver the wrong load. I did not cause his boss to be in a bad mood. I did not cause his equipment to break down. I did not cause the traffic and idiot drivers. I did none of this. So why in the hell did he decide that he should yell at me? I understand he needed to vent and get it off his chest. But to bite my head off for everything I say, NOT COOL!

I got Little Miss on the bus and I decided to check the bank account. Can you say BAD MOVE? OK, it was a good thing I did, but……I discovered that they said I had a 100 bucks less than I showed having. After scrambling and having a stroke and screaming at the top of my lungs, I discovered I had wrote down a number wrong! Instead of a 5, I had wrote 6 and my book was off by the hundred bucks! While I was trying to find the mistake, I discovered I had not paid a bill that I thought I had paid! So instead of being a $100 short on my Christmas funds, I was actually $200 short! My second mistake was mentioning this mistake to my husband. He had a fit and then told me to deposit the 100 dollars I had put up for Christmas and the 100 bucks he had put up in a motorcycle fund in the bank. (Why he has a motorcycle fund I don’t know, but apparently it is a new thing because that was all that was put up. I won’t even go into how we don’t need a motorcycle fund!) But the thing was I was to do it NOW. I have been told not to drive my car because it is screwed up and The Boy was still in the bed and I figured as long as it was there by 2pm, it would post and all would be OK. The Boy got up and ate and then took a shower. I didn’t have a problem with it, apparently hubby did! He blew another gasket and told me if I hadn’t already put the money in the bank there was no sense in putting it in and just let the shit hit the bank and bounce, he didn’t care. I tried to explain the whole posting thing and how I hadn’t wrote anything that would hit the bank and bounce, but he hung up on me!

Once The Boy got out of the shower, we went to the bank. Apparently, hubby misunderstood me (or I misunderstood him or he was just being an ass!) and he had a fit because we had went! (Do you see a pattern here? I can’t seem to do anything right by him.) So The Boy brings me home and he goes to a buddy’s house. I don’t care, he is out of my hair and I can get some work done and washing done, it is not like he was going to help me if he was here, so out of my hair is a good thing. Hubby calls and has a fit because he is gone. I tried to explain how that was a good thing, hubby was having none of it! The Boy has got to go, he is useless. OK, apparently The Boy is on his shit list too.

My mom called to say she would be gone all day, so I wasn’t even able to call her and scream about how stupid hubby was being. So I cleaned and washed. Which didn’t go as planned. Since Miss Daisy is still drippy, she has to stay on the linoleum or in her pen. Guess who won’t stay off of the carpet? That’s right every time I turned my back on her she was on the carpet. And Bella, I think she is done dripping, but since I am not really sure, she has the same rules and she spent the day whining! Damn animals, I hate them all! I planned on cleaning Little Miss’ room but I didn’t get that far.

So The Boy calls and says that he and his buddy are going into town, the buddy is getting a haircut and they are going to the mall and then they are going to the Army recruiter and taking a test to see where they would put them if they enlisted! What the Hell is going on with my family? I told him to sign nothing!!!!

I developed a headache to end all headaches and laid down on the couch to see if it would ease up. I promptly fell asleep. When I woke up it was time to go down and pick up Little Miss from the bus. She got off the bus bitching! It was one thing after another! She was hungry, she was thirsty, she had homework, she had to turn in her gifts tomorrow, her knees hurt, her arms hurt, “Emma” was mad at her, it was raining, she was bored! For the next 2 hours I listened to every gripe known to man! Then her father came home and he was ill as a hornet!

I fixed supper and I don’t know what I did but the cornbread I made tasted like crap! I don’t know if the oil was ruined or what but it wasn’t edible! And don’t think that my husband didn’t let me know about that! I cleaned up the kitchen and it seemed to take forever. Once I got done I decided to sit and watch TV and eat some M&Ms. While eating the M&Ms I cut the roof of my mouth on the shell of one of them! I don’t know how it happened, I just know that I was bleeding and it hurt like hell. Did hubby have any sympathy? Why hell no! He informed me that if I hadn’t been eating them it wouldn’t have happened. ASS!!!!

He finally went to bed and I thought the night would improve, but no, Daisy, Little Miss and The Boy decided to drive me insane. The Boy and Little Miss fought about everything under the moon. He wouldn’t let her watch TV in his room, she wouldn’t stay out of the room. They both told on each other like 3 year olds! Daisy absolutely refused to stay off the carpet and decided to entertain herself by staring at me and whining! I finally got Little Miss in the bed, even though she wasn’t tired and didn’t want to go to bed. The Boy was bored and there was nothing on TV so I convinced him to go to bed. I took a shower and made up my mind that I was going to bed and going to sleep. Only my lungs had a different idea! They decided that I needed to be up and coughing yet again. Oxygen, who needs oxygen? Apparently not me. That is when I decided today was going to be a better day!

Did I mention…..Daisy shit in the kitchen floor? That the TV is trying to go out? I keep forgetting to get stamps to mail Christmas cards? That it is raining yet again? That my yard is flooding? That FIL’s dog (a male) has taken up sleeping over here? That the cat has decided how much fun it would be to meow at me nonstop?

I did have a couple of good moments………I managed to get the house clean with the exception of Little Miss and The Boy’s rooms. I had just enough washing powder for all the loads of clothes I had. The Boy didn’t sign any papers at the Army recruiters office even though he scored high enough on the practice test that he could choose any field he wanted. And seeing Bush move so quick when the reporter flung a shoe at him. (I know that is so wrong, but it was so funny!)

So today is going to better! Hubby is still a bit ill but not as bad. He has been having a time at work lately. (He was just informed today, start time has been moved from 6 to 7 and if when he leaves in the afternoon if he doesn’t have a load, he is to call in before coming in the next morning. He had 32 hours last week and that looks like it may be a good week from here on out.) Little Miss, though a little ill, got up and out without too much fuss. It is still raining and Daisy shit in the kitchen AGAIN, but I am going to get Little Miss’ room cleaned today! Wish me luck, I will need it in that disaster area! Until next time……..

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

It’s Monday Again!

I have a busy, busy day ahead, so I am just going to jump right in to the weekend update!

So let’s see, Thursday was on line shopping day for me and hubby. He came home early so we had the opportunity to get a little done before Little Miss got home. Very little! Like every year, we disagree on what we want to get. But we managed to do a little. School let out early so that didn’t help very much either.

Friday, school went in late, due to a little ice on the roads, threw my whole day off! I am a little OCD, I think, if anything is off by just a little I just can’t seem to get back on track. But I did manage to get on line and shop a little. As usual I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Little Miss went to spend the night with her grandma and hubby and I went to town shopping. Well, that was a freaking treat! I think I run across every rude person on Earth! We did manage to find a Wii, at a store where a friend of Easy E’s works and he was kind enough to get it for us with his discount and we were happy.  Should have stopped there because  the shit hit the fan when we hit the next store.

UGH! Have you ever decided to just be nice and let someone go ahead of you in line because they don’t have as much as you and maybe they have a small child with them and you have decided to be nice? Well, I did. To start with the man acted like I was just trying to get a better look at his ass or something, he didn’t seem to accept that I was just trying to be nice! Then when he finally accepted that I wasn’t a serial killer just trying to get a better angle on him from behind, he acted like he had done me a favor by accepting my kindness. In the end I think he realized he was somewhat of an ass and wished me a Merry Christmas, but good Lord, I was beginning to wonder if I had something stamped on my forehead that said I wasn’t to be trusted. Or maybe it said shit on my parade why don’t ya?!

Hubby decided Karma wasn’t on our side after that whole disaster of trying to be nice but, he decided to buy a bundle of socks and donate them to a church that had set up in the mall and was taking various charitable donations, socks being one of the things asked for. They offered him a cup of coffee, he being newly addicted to coffee, happily accepted the cup of very hot coffee. He drank on it slowly all through the mall and managed to not spill it on anyone or any small child. I was so proud. We got in the car and the first thing he does is spill his coffee in his lap. Damn Karma is a BITCH! I don’t know what we did in the past that we are apparently making up for now, but we must have eaten small children in a previous life.

We managed to get a few things done and finally got home at almost midnight. I was tired and ill and not in the Christmas spirit anymore, I hate when you can’t find what you want at a price you are willing to give. And the crowds, good grief! There were 4 purse snatching while we were in town!

Saturday, I shopped on line a bit more and managed a few more things and wrapped all the gifts I could. Last year I went through all of my wrapping paper and got rid of what was so old it tore if you touched it and all of the itty pieces and all of the wrinkled bits and I forgot I had done that. I didn’t buy paper, so I run out! I did the same with bows and ribbon! I have turned into an idiot! I love wrapping and decorating the gifts, I put as much time into wrapping them as I put into picking them out. Now I have to get more wrapping supplies and that wasn’t in my budget. Even Santa  is out of wrapping paper! Or at least I can’t find it. Little Miss came home and wasn’t happy to hear we had shopped without her, but she will get over it.

My brother’s alarm at his house went off while he was at work and the alarm company called him. Luckily they didn’t get in and get anything! He has a Cocker Spaniel and he turned over quite a few chairs and tables while trying to protect the house, but otherwise everything was fine. It is unsure if they figured out he had an alarm if the dog sounded bigger and badder than he actually is. Hubby has 2 uncles that weren’t as lucky. They were robbed on the same day and they were wiped out. Money, guns, electronics you name it and it was stolen. They think it was someone they know because they were together when they were robbed and they don’t live close to each other. It is a sad day when you are fearful to leave your home because you might get robbed. The Boy went to town for an hour or so on Friday and I was at home and someone came up and stole a few tools. And I was at home!!!! Damn it is getting bad. I never heard anything!

Sunday I worked on my quilt some more, I swear I am never going to get done with it. I am down to the sides and bottom trims now though, so I am getting there. Hubby and his new helper, The Boy’s friend, are working on cars on the weekends now. They have done 2 motor jobs so far. The helper found a Pogo stick in the trunk of a burned out car and he couldn’t resist getting it out and playing with it. On Saturday, he showed it to Little Miss and I had a “proud momma moment” when she asked him if he had lost his mind. How crazy would he have to be to think she would get on that stick and hop around and possibly break a bone? I was so proud.

Sunday was a different story. She got on it and hopped all over the slab! No broken bones but both of her knees are bruised beyond recognition! And on the inside(!), I guess that is where the stick bounced up and down! Her knees are bruised and swelled and this morning she got up and her arms were killing her. I told her that would teach her to get out and act like a kid all day. heh! I think everyone tried out the Pogo stick, but not I! I am not an idiot! There have been a few asses bouncing off the slab this weekend!  

So this morning, hubby is having a bad day and has called and griped a few times already. It could be a long day. I think that is all of the weekend and I have a ton of washing to do and I really need to get this house cleaned if it kills me and it just might. So without further ado, until next time…….

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!!

No snow for me……

Well, we didn’t get the snow, we had a bit of black ice and school started 2 hours late, so my day is off. We started a bit of Christmas shopping online yesterday. We had a bid on a new Wii on Ebay, we were outbid in the last couple of minutes! I hate that, I am trying for another one, but I doubt it. I don’t know why they don’t just make more of these stupid things! They are going to sell and that will make them money, so I just don’t understand it. Assholes!

This is going to be a short one, I am going to try to accomplish a bit of Christmas online and I have to get it done before Little Miss gets home. I think we are pretty well done with The Boy, but lack everyone else! If I don’t get it ordered I will be panic stricken waiting for it to come in.  I did that last year, ordered a couple of gifts at the last minute online and they didn’t show up until Christmas Eve. Hopefully I won’t go through that this year. So until next time……

THANKS FOR VISITING AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!
