Holy crap. Here I am blogging on this old damn site on New Years Eve??? Yes, I have very little life. I'm a mother of 2, a very difficult 2 I might add. Aw hell, I could lay out the whole damn story now but I'm kinda dunk and wayyyyyy too tired to go through the emotional labyrinth that that would entail. I spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out the user Id and password for Blogger because its been so damn long since I have blogged. Gah. Anyway, thats it for tonight. I'm half-way through this bottle of wine and I'm determined to finish that bitch off! Wish me luck! Ta!

She moves

So, as you can tell from my lack of posting here, facebook has taken over my life.....for now. I just find it easier, and faster and I dont have to write huge entries on a daily basis. For me thats good at the moment. Ok, so, if you want to you can add me as a friend through facebook.

I may come back here eventually, or visit sporatically. Who knows? Thanks.

Kiss me you fool!

Happy Valentines Yall! I got 18 of those babies today. So pretty. I also got 85% cocoa Lindt chocolates (the darker the better, Ohhhhh yeahhhhh.) The very dark chocolates have less sugar and more fat but I can deal with fat, hehe. Skipped my workout today but will hit it hard tomorrow.

Took the kids to Swaders today to go batshit on the arcade games. Nothing like a few dozen screaming kids hopped up on sugar to make you glad you stopped at 2. HA!

Have a lovely night! Tata.

Monday

Howdy yall. The weekend was so nice (70+ degrees) that we spent most of it outdoors. Sadly, I forgot the damn camera so no pictures.

Saw Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Take my word for it, save your money

I got my Spanish test back, an 83, which is a B so I'm cool with that. I still hate Spanish though.

Havent had anyone come to see the house for weeks. Its depressing but I'm trying to stay optimistic. Before the end of the month I'm going to host a realtors luncheon (lots of free food) so that the locals will be more apt to mention my house to potential buyers. The real buying season doesnt kick in until March-April so I'm hopeful.

Well I have much to do before the offspring get home so I'm outties! Tata!

Yep, I posted, arent you excited?

I love school. There is nothing I would rather do than go to school. If I won the lottery, seriously, I would go to school for the rest of my life. Thats how much I love it. Ok, that said, I friggin HATE Spanish. I loathe it. It hangs around my neck like a cinder block, threatening to drag me down into the bowels of ........something, a thing with nasty bowels. This class is bringing out the worst in me. I skipped class yesterday, knowing that I had a test. I knew it and I just didnt want to take it, so I bailed. And lied. Said one of my kids was sick. I'm a liar too. Next thing you know I'll be robbing convenience stores.

I have to get over this. I have this class until May ferchrissake. Its giving me anxiety.

Joe and I are doing this

" if you want to take a trip without me, its cool"

thing. I mean, I've never had a problem with him taking off. Some women would hold a grudge or feel neglected, not me, I figure he's a big boy and works for his money so why not? Only, and this is a recent development (i think), he doesnt want me to have the same freedom. Its completely cool if he goes off alone to do his thing but I have to have a CHAPERONE. I can't be trusted (in what sense I'm not sure) and he got all squirmy when I grilled him on it. I got irritated and demanded to know why I couldnt be trusted (which he didnt outright say but it was implied) I had never given him a reason to NOT trust me. In fact, he used to leave for MONTHS on end when we didnt have any kids and he had no problem then. I refreshed his memory that until 3 years ago we hadnt spent even half a year together on the same continent ( The Navy will do that). Yeah, he got that puzzled look on his face, kinda like when a dog hears a really high pitch noise, and walked away. I'm still very irate about this double-standard and plan on bringing it up at our next therapy session on Friday. Now, dont get me wrong, I'm not trying to slip away alone so that I can have some sordid affair. I would PROBABLY not even want to go anywhere on my own but the idea that I couldnt if I wanted to just burns me up. I know, I should let it go. If you know me, you know that I cant. HA!

Anyway, thats about it. If you're looking for me, I'm probably on Facebook, which is alot like crack. I'm sure the novelty will wear off but for now, I'm an addict. hehe. Tata.

Last of Jan.

Yesterday was Joe's 42nd birthday. I cant say he was overjoyed about the whole thing but at least he had the day off to relax. He got a new working jacket and a nice watch. Later we went to Olive Garden for dinner (dessert is pictured above).

Right now he is at Pamplin Park with Syd and her friend. I skipped out because well...honestly...I hate historical crap....oh and its friggin freezing out too. Thanks but I'll stay home and watch the SciFi channel in my warm house.

Anyway, thats it for now. Tata.

Oh grand Friday.

Hello yall. Let me just get this out there first....Syd and Wyatt broke up. Yep. That was fast huh? Well, she didnt even tell me about it, I found out from his mom. Weird. I guess I should be happy that it wasnt more traumatic.

Today was her last exam so as a treat I took the kids to Swaders ( a sports park thing) We were going to play mini-golf but they chose the arcade instead. It was an hour of too-much-fun and only cost me $20.

It was amazingly mild out today and we enjoyed it. Its supposed to get heinous again tomorrow. Bah!

Anyway, thats about it. Tata.

Uh, dating?

So she had her "date" and it was "awesome". We went to see Paul Blart; Mall Cop. Not one of my top 10....actually not even one of my top 10000. They sat a few rows ahead of Avery and I (I made sure I could see them...clearly) He bought her ticket and snacks, it was sweet. After the movie I dropped him off and she was all gushy about how wonderful he was. I swear, I'm crapping my pants right now. I mean she's only 11! Cmon, give me until at least 13 for this stuff!

Thats it for now.Tata.

I said it was cold before.....I was wrong.

Today it is 29 degrees outside. I dont do cold. At all. It should be against the law for it to be that cold. I'm also a whiner. Ask anyone. When it's cold, I whine constantly.

Luckily today was a free day ie: no school and no kids. I spent the day doing practically nothing. Oh wait, I left the house to get a movie and some Starbucks. It was quick, did I mention I hate the cold?. Hehe.

I'm wearing my workout clothes because, well, I had the best intentions of toodling down to the gym this morning and sweating out all those nasty wine toxins. Didnt happen, not even close. Not motivated. Ah well.

Tomorrow I'm escorting my 11 year old daughter on her first "not-really-a date" with her "boyfriend-but-we-dont-hold-hands-or-kiss-cause-thats-still-gross". I've spoken to both of them, at length......I went far beyond embarrassing to a kind of intense homicidal staring while talking through clenched teeth. She was mortified....yep, thats my job. Anyway, we're going to the movies at the mall.....wont that be fun? (insert sarcasm here) I really wanted to go see that dog hotel movie. (insert coma here) Avery is thrilled as well. (insert screaming)

Ok, thats it for now. I'm tired from doing nothing and must lie down before children start arriving home. Crap.

Tata.

Is cold, yes?

Not the best representation but you get the idea. Another leather piece that I wanted. It will look awesome with chaps. Yeehaw! Hehe.

In the 40's today. I no like the cold, my lips are always blue. Not a good color for me.

So I joined FaceBook. I had so many people hounding me for so long "Oh you just gotta join! Its soooooo cool. You dunno what yer missing!" Uh, yeah, ok.....wuteva. So I joined. Whooopee. And it would seem that everyone on the planet (but me) is on this stupid thing. I dont recognize like half of the people that "claim" to be my friends. Its hysterical. Friends from high school, friends from the Navy, friends from Canada, even friends from college. Wow. I didnt even know I was so damn popular. Imagine that. I'm so relieved that I think I'll have another glass of wine. HA!

Here it is , pritnear the middle of Jan, and I'm feeling like I should resolve to do something. Maybe lose 10 pounds, uh....adopt an abused animal....hmmm, shave the legs more often? Dunno. Maybe I could resolve to be more decisive. I could but I dont think I will, I cant make up my mind. Yaknow, it would probably be better if I made resolutions that I KNEW I could keep. Yeah! Like I resolve to spend more money this year. Or maybe to continue eating a shitty diet! Yeah yeah......I definately resolve to stay up wayyy too late and drink far too much alcohol (Shit, this will be hella-easy) Hehe. This way I can pretty much guarrantee that my resolutions will carry on through the year and my conscious will be clear. I imagine that the old man will do much the same, in that his resolutions will include 1. not listening 2. watching more TV 3. snoring more and , of course 4. enjoying more 7-11 food in the comfort of his truck. I can vouch that each one of these will be resolved to the max. Anyways, thats all I have to say for now. Tune in next time kids, ya just never know what will come rolling out of my mouth...uh I guess I mean fingers bein that its typing and all.....ah nevamind. Tata!

New Year

Hi. Sorry I havent posted, I've been so busy. Syd and I stayed up for New Years.....we played Lego Batman all the way through it. The kids went back to school last Monday (YAY!) and thats about it. I dont go back to school until next Wednesday. Oh yeah, I forgot.....we put the house on the market. It went on the MLS this morning and I showed it for the first time at noon today. We're hopeful but know the market sucks right now. Fingers crossed!
Thats it for now! Tata.
