I did too much but it was fun.
The kids were great.
Mark told horrible jokes like why did the 3 blonds jump off the building?
To see if their maxi pads really had wings. Ba dum pum.....lol
They got a great haul.
Chocolate. Mmm.
I did over do it though and now I hurt. Owie.
But at least I go see the doc tomorrow.
I'm gonna chill out now and watch Desperate Housewives.
I love this show.
I'm such a tv junkie.
Getting ready to head out here in a bit.
Andy Warhol and Mark the dead comedian.
Blood coming out his nose and mouth. ex-roommate is going to as a lovelorn vampiress. Crying bloody tears.. tee hee.
Wish I could do what I used to do man.
Maybe next year my back will be fixed and I can get all dressed up again.
I am going to go for a little bit and then come back when my back starts to freak out and ex-roommate can stay with the boys the rest of the time.
I told them they can't come back until they have lots of chocolate or not to come back at all...lol
Hope you're all having a safe and happy Halloween.
Ok, so I was feeling great that last couple of days you know? Doing good, I could eat etc etc.
Then last night, I felt sick all over again. Like majorly fucking ill.
It was awful.
But I figured this out.
In my attempts to get healthy and ward off the flu, I began taking vitamin C. 500mgs a day.
I have an ulcer. I can't eat oranges or apples or anything with high acidity etc. It makes me very very sick.
These pills are the only thing out of the ordinary that I have done. Everyone in the house is eating the exact same stuff as me so it's not food poisoning you know.
So I'm thinking it's the vitamin C making my stomach do this shit.
So anywaaay, I was feeling so ill and horrible like I was gonna throw up and I just couldn't take it anymore so....
I went in the bathroom and made myself hurl by jamming my fingers down my throat.
I felt instantly better.
No, I don't recommend this to anyone but the constant cold sweats and the feeling and taste of hurl in the back of my throat was just too much so I just got it over with.
I feel tons better today.
Oh and I adopted a fetus.
I adopted a cute lil' poison fetus
from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!
And for your listening pleasure, Christopher Walken reciting Edgar Allen Poes', The Raven.
The Raven. Right click and save as please.
So I told my sis about my idea for Lost bracelets and she went out today she went and picked up what I needed.
Cool eh?
I decided not to throw in a skull because not everyone finds them as cool as I do and I wanted to keep it very simple, earthy tones and beads.
The beads are wooden except for the black and white ones which are glass. Those represent something that they found last week with the dead people but we don't know their significance yet.
Check it out.
The mail just came and in it was a padded envelope addressed to me with no return address but the postage says Moneta Va.
What was in it?
2 discs full of music, namely my fave band, Metallica Live discs 1&2.
So fess up? Who sent it?
My ears and I thank you very much.
We carved up some pumpkins last night. Well, I should say the kids and my sister carved them up.
And now this morning, I'm baking the seeds with salt and butter. Mmm.
Just hanging out and watching cartoons and stuff, doing laundry etc. Typical Saturday here.
Later days.
Then they decided tonight they do.
Great. Just great.
But Mama Kat to the rescue!
Last minute costumes coming up.
Sebastian will be wearing blue jeans, a black shirt and dark sunglasses and shagging his hair all up.
He colored a picture of a tomato soup can in bright colors.
Andy Warhol is ready to go.
Mark didn't have the slightest clue and I don't have spare cash for a last minute store bought so I unhooked my microphone from the pc, duct taped the cord around it so he wouldn't trip over it and I printed out some lame one liners.
He's going as a comedian...lol
Hey, it was last minute man, I did the best I could.
So, how do you kill a blond?
Put a mirror at the bottom of the pool.
Help a fellow single mom out will ya?
Christiane is a single mother
to two young boys, Gabriel (age 5) and Miles (age 2).
I am also a full-time employee (IT Project Manager)
and a grad student (MLA program at St. Edward’s
University, Austin, TX). I am performing an
ethnographic study of single mothers in order to
understand how single mothers experience single
motherhood. I am speaking with members of the Single
Parent Resource Network and Austin Single Parent
Organization here in Austin, as well as individual
single mothers both in and outside of Austin who are a
part of online communities.
- Purpose -
This survey will be used to gather data about the
varying and common experiences of single mothers in
contemporary American society in order to describe and
better understand the culture of single motherhood.
Once the study is complete, I will post it online and
all who participated will be able to provide feedback
on the general tone and nature of the study and its
presentation.
Will you help her out by answering a few questions about being a single mom?
I know I can count on you all to find just a few minutes to answer these questions for her so please email her at cmwoodleyATyahoo.com and tell her that you want to help her out on her survey. She is looking for blogging single moms mostly but I think she'd be happy to get a few non-blogging single moms too.
I know that there are people who are very upset about this video, Eminems Mosh and they think that celebrities have no business in politics.
My opinion as an American is that everyone, every single American, has a right to voice their opinion.
Maybe what upsets them is that they have a much larger audience than the ones that are upset?
They can sing and scream at millions of people and be heard and you have to carry your one sign and talk your points and hope to be heard.
They are being heard.
They are getting through to the millions of young men and women who are old enough to vote but don't think it makes a difference. One little person in this huge nation. It makes a huge difference.
One voice can turn the tables. One voice can turn the tides. One voice can change the future of this nation for better or for worse.
It is up to you. And you and YOU.
Please get out and vote.
The future of our country depends on it.
I'm not going to tell you to vote for the candidate that I want. I just want you to vote.
It's not just about the president either. There are many other issues on your local ballots.
You need to read those proposals and decide for yourself what you want and what you think is best for your state and vote.
Just vote.
This is the most important election of our time. This is the most important election I have ever voted in.
This is the election that could and will affect everyone in this country.
Please vote.
Getting the kids up and ready for school. Man they are loud in the morning. Arguing already.
Some days they get along and other days they bug the crap out of each other.
I made myself a watch and earring set. I wanted something fun and colorful. It's in the extended entry.
Not much else going on right now. It's so early man...lol
Later days.
I have like this brilliant idea for bracelets to sell.
I have a Live journal. There I said it. I like the communities in it for the geek in me. I am a member of 2, Desperate Housewives and Lost.
Now here's the thing, there is official merchandise for DH but not for Lost and they are CLAMORING for merchandise. So I mentioned that I could do charm bracelets ya know, an airplane, a pineapple, a starfish, a white bead, a black bead (last nights ep.) and a phone ya know, to call for help (tee hee). Anyway, they are all like yeah! Gimme!
I need the stuff though so come on, somebody buy a bracelet or something so I can buy the shit to make just ONE of these Lost bracelets to show them and then when they want one, get them to pay first so I can order all the stuff first....lol
I see major $ka-ching$ with this one. Oh my gawd. Seriously, they want the stuff so bad.
Gah! I like already planned it out. I even have real bone skull beads to represent the dead people on the island.
Man, I'm not gonna be able to sleep now.
Shit.
ex-roommate finished digging up the bushes and an oak tree.
Yeah, there was an oak tree in our front yard right there in that little space.
It had to go. It kept getting wasp and hornet nests and Sebastian is severely allergic.
It's all dug up and ready for flowers now.
The boys are going to bag all the stuff up for trash day when they get home.
You either have to bag or bundle and frankly, it's just easier to bag it.
Not much else is going on around here.
We did everything we said we were going to do today.
Clean the house and laundry and the front yard.
The next yard project is to trim the grass along the driveway.
It has like overgrown it all and you can lift it up like a rug all the way back to the pavement so it needs to be cut back.
It'd be much easier with hedge trimmers or a weed whacker but we have neither so it will be done by hand.
The boys will be thrilled but hard work won't kill them and it's good for them to help out and take pride in where they live.
ex-roommate's going to plant flowers a little bit at a time as she has money to do.
Pretty ones. No bushes.
Ok, so I need to get going and fold the last load of clothes.
Later days.
I haven't been sick once today.
Whoo hoo!
So while I feel good, I'm doing all the cleaning that hasn't been done all week and ex-roommate is attacking the bushes outdoors.
She wants to dig them all up and plant flowers.
Fine by me. They are a pain in the ass anyways.
The boys are over at Mikeys house until his parents get home and then they have some yard work to do when they get home.
This house and yard needed to be cleaned.
Oh and for those of you who want sterling silver or gold jewelry, i have a supplier of really good quality stuff.
I'm probably going to place an order later today just to test the stuff out for myself.
I just want to thank Terry and Kylie (no blog 
) for their orders. I appreciate it very much and they are on the way in the mail today.
I'm selling the amethyst watch and earring set for $50 so if anyone is interested, let me know. Most of my other pieces are up at the tack shop.
I haven't made anymore this week other than what was ordered. Maybe I'll do a few today.
Feeling slightly better. My stomach is still a very unhappy belly. Food is not our friend. Hell water isn't our friend.
But just out of curiosity, I want to ask other parents out there if they have or will be buying Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for their kids.
And if you don't buy it but your kid comes home with it after going to Best Buy or wherever with his own money, will you let him play it?
I was just watching a segment on the Today show about this new game and I've heard other people, adults, have bought it for themselves. It has an M Rating and should not be sold to anyone under 17 but we know how that goes right? Best Buy doesn't give a crap.
I'm just curious.
Terry.

Mark came home the other day and told me about a teacher who held the students in the class room during a fire drill.
Now, before all you parents go getting as upset as I did, hear what the principal told me.
Mark said that this teacher had hit a student and yelled at another that they will amount to nothing.
Alarms going off right?
The principal was in the class room today and there are kids who refuse to listen to authority. They hit the teachers, curse at them etc. All little details Mark left out.
She, the principal wants this teacher to be strict. He has not hit anyone but there is a student, a girl, who is writing down exaggerated claims of abuse against this teacher and another who is starting fights and hurting other kids.
There was an incident today where this abusive student dropped his backpack from the 2nd story mezzanine aiming it at the head of another student below.
I've told you the weight of these backpacks.
That could have broken the neck of the kid below.
She had to forcefully go over and grab the backpack.
The other day, this same student was choking another student on the grounds and it took 2 full grown men to remove him off the other student.
He has now been expelled but these are things Mark left out when relaying the stories of his days.
The bright spot?
Mark is doing great in his classes, getting a B in this class, getting excellent grades in all his other classes. He's one of the students that they are not having trouble with but there are students in his class who are disruptive and violent and the principal is cracking heads and suspending and expelling them.

I want to get off.
Still sick.
Going back to bed.
So I'm laying down cuz I swear this is like the stomach bug spawn of Satan. It needs to make up it's mind. Shit or barf and just leave me alone after that.
So anyway, I'm laying down and the phone rings.
Sebastian answers it, says ex-roommate is at work. She'll be home at 11pm.
Phone rings again.
Sebastian: Mom, she wants to talk to you.
Me: Sick, maybe going to barf, take a frigging message.
Sebastian: No, mom, she really needs to talk to you.
Me: *grabs phone* Hello?
Kate: Kat?
Me: Yes Kate, what?
Kate: I need to go see like that doctor of yours. Bad. I can't take this pain anymore. What do I have to do?
Me: Make an appointment Kate. It's a doctors office. I can't just slide you in.
Kate: Yuh, ok, how do I get there?
Me: Go up 301, take a right on MLK (Martin Luther King) take a right right after the RR tracks and it's on the left.
Kate: So I go up 301 and take a left at MLK?
Me: No, take a right at MLK.
Kate: Ok, right at MLK and the docs is on the right.
Me: Kate, write this down. 301 to MLK, take a right on MLK cross the RR tracks, take the first right on Colson, it's on the left. Only building on the left.
Kate: Ok, I got it now. 301 to MLK, right at MLK, then a right then a left.
Me: Yes Kate.
Kate:Ok, ex-roommate will be home after 11?
Me: Yes, you can't call after that. She'll call you.
Kate: Oh, I can't call when she gets home?
Me: No, it will be after 11. I gotta go Kate. I'm sick.
*click*
I swear, she's as dumb as a box of rocks.
So 2 latter days saints come to the door and get scared.
I was hoping for more of a fight cuz I don't feel well and I like to argue, but man, they sucked.
They told me what they believe and I told them what I believe. I asked them if they believe in the laws of the bible and how they felt about the war between Isreal and Palestine.
They said God promised them that land so those people have every right to it if they lived their lives righteously.
Even if it means killing other people who currently live on it?
Yes because god promised them the land.
I talked about invasion of privacy and intruding on other peoples property and they didn't care.
They signed up for 2 years of service to go door to door and preach the word.
I mentioned to them that even Jesus Christ himself didn't go door to door, he walked in the streets and said people hear my words. If they wanted to listen, they went to him.
They talked of 1,000 years of peace and no death and no suffering.
ex-roommate and I were both tempted to ask what happens after the 1,000 years, like horrible death and massive suffering, but we thought better.
After 10 minutes of talking, I thanked them for their time and told them that I just wasted 10 minutes of their time that they could have been using knocking on other peoples doors because I felt so strongly about this door to door thing. They asked if I felt this strongly about commercials and I said yes and ex-roommate blurts out, you should hear her yell at the tv.
They said "We'll take you off our list."
Yeah, take me off the list and you suck at your job.
They didn't even try to save me.
I'm so bummed.
I'm going to take this opportunity of much needed rest to do a random link dump.

Too many things on my mind
Later days.
I'm sick. *wah*
I hate this.
I catch fucking everything!
I don't know what this is but all day I have felt ill like I was gonna barf and I still feel that way and I'm so tired.
The kids left and I did a few things and went back to sleep. Woke up an hour before they came home and then went back to sleep after they came home.
I woke up again maybe 45 minutes ago.
I feel like hell.
See? This is why I need a flu shot. I'll catch it. I know I will. My immune system is crap these days.
Hopefully, the next time i go out there to the docs, she says I can have one because I just can't deal with the flu.
*dry gag*
I woke up and felt ok and stuff, made a necklace, tried to eat and felt like hell so I went back to bed.
Woke up, got the mail, made some phone calls but I still feel kind of blah so I'm just sorta gonna be lazy today.
Hopefully I'll feel a bit better soon. I hate having the blahs.
I think it took up Melrose Places old spot. We finally have a funny, witty and mysterious show back on tv.
What's in the trunk?
Who sent the notes?
What the fuck is Mrs. Hubers problem?
It's ok mom, I did."
Marks' words of advice to me when Sebastian was getting on my nerves.
Ahh, brotherly love.
It's really quiet around these internets parts nowadays eh?
So let's liven this up some and you can tell me what you're listening to.
I am listening to crap as usual.
No, not really crap cuz crap doesn't really make a noise unless you step in it.
But just the junk I have on here right now.
I hate the radio. Hate it. Can't stand it and I don't have MTV which isn't music television anymore anyway from what I hear so I'm not missing anything.
So tell me what you're listening to.
What gets you groovin these days? What floats your boat? What rocks your socks?
What makes you wanna get up and dance around the house in your underwear? 
2 loads of laundry down and 1 more to go.
Did the cat boxes, swept up litter, vac'd and straightened out my bed.
Sitting for a minute.
Watching Panic Room.
I like this movie. I love how it's filmed. Going through objects and walls and keyholes with such close attention to detail.
Ok, just a little bit more cleaning stuffs to do and then I can rest for the night and watch The Ladykillers.
I started watching it last night but then my sis came home and so I brought it with me to watch her later on at some point before Desperate Housewives comes on.
I got such good deal.
5 lbs of frozen broccoli florets, $4.85
3 tubes Colgate Simply White toothpaste, $7.00
500 vitamin c tabs, $5.85
210 multivitamins, $6.00.
Awesome deals.
I didn't want too much else that they had there. Just the needed stuff but I couldn't pass up that broccoli.
We love broccoli. Mmm
Ok, I need to do dishes and laundry and then rest.
Later days.
Sis and the kids and I are off to Sams club.
She wants to price some flooring that they have.
We saw it out at Kims farm yesterday and it was so beautiful and she said her husband had that floor down in about 3 hours.
It was gorgeous.
She wants to do her whole house in it.
I'd like my house in it....lol
I need to get vitamins while we are there cuz we are heading into sick season and I don't want anyone getting sick.
I simply can't get sick.
I don't think I'd make it if I got sick ya know?
Doubled over coughing and even when you don't have a back problem, your back hurts from all that coughing. I'd be dying...lol
Vitamins, vitamin C tabs.
She's paying me for babysitting so I can get the vitamins I need.
So I'll be back around later on.
Have a great day.
so that I could meet Kim and see what kind of stuff she wants and the stuff she is selling already, is so high priced.
I want to keep my stuff affordable. I want my stuff reasonably priced so that if some teen walks in and she has $10, she can walk out of there with a bracelet or a pair of earrings.
I need to get more silver ear wires and more horse type charms etc.
She paid me for a set of earrings and a bracelet. That was cool.
There is a big show out there tomorrow so maybe some of my other stuff will sell too.
The tack shop is super nice. Oh my god is it nice.
Then we went to Wal*mart so my sis could pick up a few things she needed and then to McD's so we could all have something to eat.
Going to her house tonight to sit for awhile so her and one of her friends can go out to eat and hang for awhile.
Mommies need a break once a week and I love my little niece to pieces so no problem babysitting at all.
Not much else is going on.
Later days.
Off to run a few errands with sis.
Be back later on.
Have a good one.
I've seen Crue many times. God, I don't even recall how many times I have seen them play.
This picture was taken in the late 80's (like you couldn't tell) at the Portland Maine Civic Center. Those are some of the kids that I knew. I know one of them is Ian and one is Malcolm. It's been ages since I have seen either of those guys but Shell tells me that they are pretty much the same as they were. And yeah, those other two guys are Nikki and Tommy. Caught them in the hallway after the show.
And cuz I love you so much, here's some Crue tunes. What I need though and am having a bitch of a time getting, is Too Young to Fall in Love. Anybody have it? Bueller? Bueller?
Shout at the Devil Gone gone gone.
Looks that kill
Don't be a dick, always right click.
Something I haven't done in a long time. I have a lot of books but I have read them all and I found this one on the bookshelf at the doctors.
I started reading it while I was waiting for what seemed like forever to get seen and all that.
.
The description isn't all that exciting, as a matter of fact, it's so not the type of book that I enjoy reading but I'm giving it a chance.
5 chapters in and these women, the 3 main characters, are perfect descriptions of women in real life I'm sure of it. I've seen these types of women downtown hustling back and forth to real estate offices and such.
Not women I would ever be friends with. I have nothing in common with women who crave to be wearing the latest fashionable shoes or carry the latest bags. These women spend more on clothing and shoes and fashion mags than they do on food surviving on a perfect 7 cans of slim fast, 7 potatoes and 7 individually wrapped pieces of chocolate per week just so that they can buy and fit into the name brands they think will make them feel good about themselves.
So far nothing in here is making me scream at anyone to go out and read this one as a must have on the nightstand and carry in your bag everywhere.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh and I made a new beaded end for my old bookmark that a friend gave me about 4 years ago. The tassel it had was worn and frayed and looking so old.
It is a small curved metal bookmark that has a quote from Anais Nin; Dreams are necessary to life.
P.S. Before I miss my chance and the day finishes, I want to wish Mr. Tony Pierce a very happy 111th birthday.
stolen from Kim. We got the same guy. We should so hang out someday before we're old and grey and torturing our grandkids with old metal music.....lmao
You are Nikki Sixx's Groupie.
What rockstar's groupie are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
The Day After Tomorrow (Widescreen Edition) the other day.
Not a bad movie but I feel that it lacked something. Like a decent ending maybe.
The whole movie was about the dad trying to get to the son.
Yay, he got there now what?
The storms and the pictures were amazing. Really, it was kinda scary watching those storms. It really was lacking a proper ending though.
Like how are they going to start over etc or maybe I'm too detail oriented. I want to know things you know?
I guess it was ok, not something I'd want to own though.
to Ross and then to Publix. I picked up 2 HORMEL® Pork | Onion Garlic Roasts.
I have never had a problem with any Hormel product ever.
They were marked with bright orange stickers, $5.99 which is an excellent price. These are usually around $8.99-$9.99 each. That should have been a warning but Publix always puts stickers like this on sale items.
I cooked one of them up. I only bought 2 because of the price. Cook one, save one for another day.
I cooked it up according to package directions and we began to eat.
Sebastian swilled his, Mark ate half but I blame that on the fact that he made himself a plate of leftover spaghetti just an hour before I started cooking, ex-roommate, who picked them out, said it didn't taste the way she thought it would.
It's onion and garlic pork, what do you think it's gonna taste like?
It was chewy, almost gummy like. It didn't have a meat texture, it had a gummy texture.
It didn't taste bad in my opinion but it didn't taste great either like their tenderloins which we love.
It just wasn't right. None of us are sick but it wasn't right.
So I called the 800 number on the back of the products this morning and told them what happened, gave them all the codes off the products and they are going to send me gift certificates to buy any of their products for the price that I paid.
I will just get some tenderloin. I love those and so do the kids. It's like the only pork that doesn't make my stomach do back flips.
It had to be something to do with the stores handling of them I suspect because like I said, never a problem with any of their other products. Maybe they didn't refrigerate fast enough after getting the shipment or maybe they froze them and then thawed them wrong. You know, if you freeze a piece of beef and then thaw it too quickly like on the counter, it goes bad fast? Maybe that's what they did. I dunno.
But Hormel stands up to their policy of customer satisfaction.
Full price paid back even if it is in gift certs to get more of their product.
Very polite rep, Kelly, very fast, very thorough and apologized for the bad product.
I think that's all any of us really want to hear when we get something bad. We want to know that the company is sorry, get an offer to refund or replace and not be arguing that we may have cooked it wrong or done something wrong.
I will continue to buy their products, this was just a fluke.
The boys got up and left and I went back to sleep. Just plain tuckered out.
I woke up about an hour ago and have been just surfing around reading some funny and some not so funny jokes over at Defective Yeti that Bill pointed the way too.
I need a laugh and that worked.
I'm just going to take it as easy as possible today.
Later days.
There is an update elsewhere.
I just want to sleep and rest and all that crap and be left alone.
Too much pain today. Too much walking, too much shit to do and get done and got done and bleh.
I updated elsewhere.
Ok, I have to get ready to go get blood drawn today. We will be doing this as early as possible cuz I'm tired of all the late day appointments.
Sucky thing?
My bones ache 10 times as much today as they did yesterday. I am in pure fucking hellish agony.
Today will not be fun and! I was not allowed to eat anything like past 9pm last night and I have to take 2 mega long bus trips to get the stupid blood drawn at my docs way the hell out in that part of town.*
I wanted to show you this cool pic my sis took of her sister at In The Breeze Farm in St. Pete Fla.
They do haunted hayrides for Halloween. This is not the greatest pic but at night, riding in a wagon through the dark woods and having the headless horse(wo)man come screaming out after you, would be terrifying.
They have been getting some long lines and raising much needed feed money for the farm thanks to Janice and her beautiful horse Midnight.

*Trying to not piss anyone off this time.
It's really fucking hot humid today and tonight. Bah.
Off to docs again in the morning. Lots of tests.
for his weekly rent pick up and chit chat and I tell him what went down just so he knows what's going on the next time Bill decides to flip out and call him about me and my horrible family.
The landlord says that Bill told him about the cats and there is nothing that he (landlord) can do about peoples pets.
He didn't care.
I told him about Bill wanting to poison all the animals and that I called the cops and he said, "well, he brought it upon himself."
Ha!
Take that you crazy fucking asshole neighbor!
The landlord doesn't care about all your whining and complaining.
He told ex-roommate and I if he starts talking, to just walk away and ignore him. To just let him be completely miserable all by himself.
I told him that if he had any problems with me, to just call me or whatever and he's like, I have never had a problem with you and your kids. You are good tenants. Ignore Bill. He's a lonely, angry old man, you guys are fine.
Na na na nanana! and a few raspberries too :p
missing SS card?.
I got a call from the fire department. Guess what the paramedic found in her shirt pocket with all the rest of the things she had in there?
Yup. His SS card.
Fucking bitch argued with me on 3 separate phone calls that she gave it back to me. She swore she gave it back and told me it would turn up, that I must have set it down somewhere and misplaced it.
They are mailing it back to me.
So good to be right.
Yeah so I definitely pulled something when I started to run after her but my adrenaline was up and I just went with it ya know?
Back is pained to-day man. Ow-ie.
I have a case number and all that and I really hope they traced that plate number and went and picked her up and she's sitting right now in a cell. If not, they will get her. The whole thing was caught on tape man, how many of these do they think they can get away with now?
Sheesh. Dumbasses.
Oh, and what kind of moron goes into a store with intent to steal in flip flops anyway?
No wonder she fell and couldn't get away fast enough. Flip flops.
I seriously doubt they were expecting anyone to yell and run after them. Most people stand there and stare in utter disbelief and shock.
Don't do that ladies.
Pay attention to your surroundings. If you think someone is looking at you, look back and study them from head to toe. Use your own height to measure theirs. Are you 5'7? Then were they taller or shorter, get a look at hair, eyes, clothes, details, suck them all in and when someone does try some funny shit on you, yell like the world is coming to an end.
You would not believe how many people stopped what they were doing and ran over to that aisle. People came and that is what you want and not what thieves want. They want you to stand there and not be able to move from fear.
Move and scream and go after them. Especially if it's just another chick.
This girl that grabbed it, weighed 110 lbs soaking wet. One slam from someone my size would have sent this bitch soaring into the ice cream freezer.
My sister did not touch her but kept after her to get the plate number and try to at least slow her down.
She has a baby to think about and can't be doing stupid shit like assault on some skank.
I could on the other hand and that is what I wanted to do to the 2nd girl. I wanted to floor the bitch and smack her around a bit but the baby. Man, of all the times I could have used Sebastian at the store to occupy and watch the baby, last night would have been the night because that 2nd bitch was terrified. I was yelling at her and not letting her pass and she was trying. All I wanted to do was grab her by the arm and twist it back and drop her to her knees and then sit on her ankles with my knees. It's very painful ya know...lol
It would have been ok if I got busted. No biggie. It was justified. I would have gladly gone to jail if I got to sit in a cell with those twits. I would have pestered them to death in there. Questions, stories, singing. My horrible singing...lmao
But ladies, don't just stand there. Do something. Yell, chase, put up a fight. You are stronger than you think and more capable of defending yourself and your property than you give yourselves credit for.
Pain or no pain, that was mine.
And ya know, for someone who was just lamenting the other day how boring my life is since all this back shit began, I sure do get some exciting bits now and then.
My sister and I went grocery shopping and these two women were looking at me kind of funny. I thought maybe I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe or something.
We were almost done in the frozen food section and I had my purse in the baby seat and I opened the door for the frozen tacos when the bitch with the black shorts, black shirt, brown hair in a ponytail, brown eyes and 5'6, grabbed my purse.
Now you know me. What do you think I did?
I yelled at full psycho yell, "Fucking bitch stole my purse!"
I took off after her and she dropped it and fell out of her shoes but ran.
My sister took off after her and I stayed with the baby.
I confronted the other thief that was with her, they were a team.
She was wearing blue jean shorts, red and white horizontally striped halter shirt with a tie in the back around the neck. She was 5'10 or maybe just a hair taller. Brown hair in a pony tail.
I would have tackled the bitch if we didn't have the baby with us.
She got away but my sister chased the perp all the way to her truck. A white Ford Ranger crew cab and was screaming the whole way that the bitch stole her purse. Anything to get people to pay attention. Tons of people helped my sister chase her down and they all got her plate number and were screaming things like fucking bitch, cunt, thief etc.
She got away but left her friend.
I have my purse.
The cops have her plate number and the store caught the whole thing on video.
And, when I have to go to court when they catch her, I'm going to see if she wants her fucking shoes back.
I mailed everything out. There wasn't much of a turnout at my little post office for S.W.A.K. but I mailed them anyway.
Then I came home and made some earrings and a bracelet.
I get to go meet the lady with the gift shop on Saturday and see what kind of stuff she wants. I've just been making whatever I wanted to and if she wants different stuff, then I can make it.
I'm taking orders too if you need Christmas gifts for anyone. There are only 66 days until Christmas. It's coming so fast now.
Ok, well that's all from here for now.
Later days.
I haven't yet started the other stuff. In all honesty, I don't want to to do the other stuff. Yes yes I know, I need to do the other housework but I really hate having to do housework all the time. Like I need to be in the mood to do it and well, that is not me today.
Yesterday, I did. I did dishes and some general cleaning and even helped Mark bake a cake. Today, I don't want to dust or vac or scrub a toilet or anything.
I'm thinking of turning my broken bathroom into a spare closet. The toilet doesn't work so it's not like the bathroom is functional and I haven't bothered the landlord with it, it's not that big of a deal that it doesn't work. We all manage to share one just fine. My bedroom closet is just jam packed with stuff and I'd like to be able to get in there without stuff falling all over me all the time. Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle the closet stuff.
Every now and then a site pops up in my referrals that I go check out and how cool is it that they linked to me? It's very cool.
So I usually do the nice thing and link back.
Check it out. kitchen logic
Well I have some dishes to do, some more laundry to do. I swear that one is just as bad as the dishes. I am always doing laundry. How does that happen?
Um, I need to vacuum, dust, sweep. Don't worry, I won't overdo it. I take breaks and stop when I know I need to. That's how this list gets as long as it is. I postpone to another day.
I need to go to the post office and mail out my S.W.A.K. letter to George Bush and a bracelet to Kirsi. Sorry girl it has taken me so long, I had to wait for more beads to come in.
I need to take a shower before I do the laundry.
Wanna hear something funny?
Ok, I had this old box of OB tampons sitting in this drawer in the bathroom. Well, it was early, like right before I wake up Mark at 5:30 and I had to pee so I go in there, half asleep and I reach in the drawer for some q-tips. My deaf ear was bugging me so I was gonna clean it out. The drawer is right above the toilet. Do you see where this is going?
I reached in and grabbed for q-tips and the box tipped over and about 20 little bullet tampons came spilling out and into the toilet. I had already hit the flush so it was spinning and gurgling around and there they went. 20 little bullet tampons spinning around and going down. I just stood there staring in semi-disbelief. I just didn't have good enough reflexes so early and half asleep to catch them all. Oh well. It's not like I need them.
The kids are off to school and I wanted to mention this little news ticker blurb I saw on the bottom of my mornings news screen at like 5:45.
It said: The president has said that the war in Iraq will not be as long as the war in South Korea. Well that's good to know huh?
Tony made a movie on "How to Vote".
Go watch it. Go vote.
I'm making lemon pepper chicken and creamy chcken pasta and green beans.
What are you having?
syrup recipes | kool-aid snow cone syrup recipe
Chablis sent me the link and I made it this morning and it is pretty good although I think it's a tad too much sugar. Maybe I'll do one and half cups on the next batch. :)
Nice title eh?
I have been trying to make dental appointments for the boys and have been given one number after another. I finally got one that is supposed to be the right one and they had voice mail. *ugh*
So I left my message and hopefully *keeping fingers crossed* they will call me back.
The boys need to see a dentist. Not that they have cavities that I can see but it's just time to see the dentist and under the new insurance, I want to get it done soon.
Sebastians' front teeth aren't straightening out like his old dentist said and he's tired of getting picked on.
They aren't that bad but they do need to be corrected soon before it gets worse.
Marks just need to be cleaned and checked. He takes really good care of them after I scared him with pictures of yellow and brown rotting teeth.
They both brush twice a day everyday now...lol
My tooth scared the crap out of them too.
I had this giant hole in my tooth and I don't have the money to get it yanked out ($300) so I bought some Dentemp and sealed the hole.
It feels better but the stuff only lasts about 2-3 months and then you have to reapply more.
Seeing me in massive tooth pain was about all they really needed to get them in the bathroom brushing after every meal.
I think Mark is getting a wisdom tooth though because he has pain in the upper right way back but there is no cavity that I can see at all. Perfectly white teeth back there so maybe somethings trying to grow in?
I hope they call me back soon.
I am looking for Zarex.
Do you remember it?
It's a fruit flavored syrup, comes in grape, strawberry orange etc.
Apparently, southerners have never heard of the stuff.
I am looking for a few bottles of the stuff.
See, my sister gave the boys a snow cone maker only problem, no fruit juicy syrup to pour on it.
The closest to anything fruity syrupy was grenadine. For real a store clerk tried to sell me that to make snow cones with.
So maybe if your store sells the stuff I am looking for, I can send some money to ya and you can ship it to me. I can't even find a website for the company but I can't imagine they don't make it anymore.
Thanks.
Sebastian just posted about his trip on his blog, expecto patronum!.
Short and to the point when he writes but man, can he talk.
He did have a great time and met an astronaut, he couldn't remember his name.
He won a space shuttle journal and a patch for the sleepover expedition.
They stopped at Downtown Disney on the way over for lunch and he got me a Micky Mouse apprentice key chain because of my love of all things Disney.
He gave Mark the journal. He's a good kid.
Food was pricey he said so he didn't have much money to buy souvenirs with but he had a great time.
Head over there and see where they slept!
On the other kids hand, Mark posts quite a bit. When he posts that is.
Two more bracelets.
Just making stuff today and watching movies.
Hope you're having a good day.
I used my grapefruit and jasmine soap that Leslie of Bayou Bath Shop sent me this morning.
Oh. My. Gawd. This soap rocks. It smells so good and lathered up nicely and my skin feels so soft because of the wonderful oils and ingredients she puts in them.
My skin smells all fruity and pretty too so if you're looking for good handmade soaps and want to help fellow bloggers out, buy from her.
There are so many bloggers out there who are artists and craft persons and candle makers and soap makers that we literally could buy and help support each other and even barter for goods and services.
I have no problem bartering for stuff with other craftspersons at all. I get things I can use and I can make things for them.
Do you make anything homemade and want to barter with others?
Maybe we could do something like that.
Just an idea.
I went outside this morning for my smoke and I smelled that urinal cake smell again. It could be mothballs, who knows.
But I glanced over at his "flowerbed" which contains nothing but the same bushes that have been there since I moved in 6 years ago, and there was a little yellow soda cap.
So what you say?
Well, this guy never leaves any type of trash anywhere on his property so I went in for a closer look.
Little white crystals everywhere and the yellow soda cap has liquid in it.
I ran back in, got my camera and the phone.
Took 2 pictures of the area and then called the non-emergency line of the police.
They sent a cop over.
The cop took a report and talked to asshole who said it wasn't poison and said he knows he can't just kill peoples pets but that he is tired of animals in his yard.
Bet he's mad at me now but I don't care.
Hi, just hanging out over here at my sisters house hanging with my baby niece. Watching silly movies and eating pizza.
She is so cute!
Since the last time I was here, just a week ago, she has learned to do many more things. I know the time passes so quickly when they are growing up, I've done it with 2 of my own, but now it's going just as quickly with her. *sigh*
The boys are hanging with me and we are having some fun.
Hope you're doing something fun too.
Later.
Help! 
My asshole 
neighbor wants to poison all the cats in the neighborhood with moth balls or some other chemical when it was clearly a possum digging on his side of the yard.
I brought my cat in even though she hates to be indoors and simply cries all the time to go back out. She never leaves the front yard or does any damage. She eats lizards and that's about all she does.
I am worried that he is really going to go through with this and I'm going to come out one morning and find dead cats in the yard and people blaming me for it.
What can I do?
I already warned one guy that's cat comes over to our side of the yard but how can I stop this lunatic from killing peoples pets. They all have collars and tags so he can't legally just kill peoples pets can he???
I'm so scared for all the little babies. 
I've been up for awhile but didn't really have anything to say.
Do I now?
I really don't know.
I do want to voice my opinion on the Cheney daughter thing though.
She is gay. The Bush campaign has made an issue of gay rights and gay marriage this election season so Kerry reminding Bush that his own VP has a gay daughter and to quit being a dickhead basically, is totally fair game.
I thought he did it tastefully and respectfully and as a simple reminder to Bush that giving people rights doesn't mean you have to become gay yourself, you don't have to like it either but that it is the right and more importantly, the American thing to do.
And that's all I want to say about that.
In other exciting news around here, I'm currently trying to clean my bathroom drain. I dumped some baking soda down there and am currently boiling water to dump down there. It works and it's nowhere near as harsh as say Mr. Plumber.
I have some dishes to do, some laundry to fold and later on I'm going to go babysit for my sister so she can head up to the farm to help out for the Halloween stuff they do.
I guess that's all for now.
Have a great Saturday.
Later days.
So I put a bracelet together that could be for a teacher gift or just to wear.
Spent the morning cleaning and stuff and then Mark and I went to pick up Sebastian.
He had a great time and he will update his blog all about it tomorrow.
I made ribs and mashed potatoes for dinner and now we are just hanging out.
Not much else has been going on.
Later days.
This is a public apology to anyone whom I may have offended by this mornings post where I called the people I met black and talked about my doctors office in the ghetto of my city.
It is never my intention to offend anyone.
I am just writing words and I never thought that the word black was wrong.
My sincerest apologies to anyone that it may have offended.
Bayou Bath Shop, handmade by Leslie. Oh my gawd, it smells so wonderful! ex-roommate is taking a shower with hers right now. I took a shower before the mail came but I will use mine maybe tonight or definitely in the morning. Mmm, it smells so good. I got a bar for my mom and my my sister so mom, I gotta mail it out so be patient with me but you are gonna love this.
Thanks Leslie!
We went out to the ghetto docs again. See, Wednesday was ex-roommate s appointment and I had to get my scripts and pee in a cup and Thursday was a checkup. See why I was so mad? Pee in a cup and then the next day a checkup? Doesn't make sense but okey dokey.
Then we stopped at the little purple store with the best fried chicken ever! while we waited for our bus and so the little black woman hollers out the window at Mark, come 'ere!
So he goes over thinking he's in trouble or something and she says to him, "you like baseball? That's the pitcher for the Cinncinati Reds here in Sarasota." (Found out last night that there is a minor league of the same name and so that's why I couldn't find him on the roster)
She tells the guy that the little boy (little, what kid was she looking at?) would like to meet him and get an autograph so out comes this TALL gorgeous young black man with the most seductive smile I have ever seen in my life, walks up to Mark and says "Hello, I'm Justin, how are you?" Mark was like almost stuttering, that guy is TALL so Mark is trying to look up at him, I said thank you and how very cool it is for him to do this for Mark. He signed the back of the menu of the little AV mini-mart with the best fried chicken ever. He is #65, Justin Halle or Ralle. I can't tell, you know how signatures are and there is no roster online for the minor team. *sigh* But it was very cool of that guy to do that and even cooler that he was at my favorite little place to eat. She makes dinners too. Oxtails and fried smothered chicken and cornbread. Oh my gawd. Mark was like, next time, I'm bringing enough money for the big meal...lol
Got on our 2 buses back home, went to Publix and Michaels and sis picked us up for a ride home.
Got the mail and had a postcard from Cooperstown from Christine and a book from Shell. *WARNING* That is a hunting and archery site. If dead animals or hunting offends you, do not click it. Shell has been hunting for many years now and supplies her family with all their own food. They do not buy store bought meat. There are pictures of dead animals on those pages. This is your only warning and I will not answer emails from people who "feel sickened" by dead animals like I got that last time I posted her link. (with a warning mind you) Grow up and learn to read the warning, I post one every time.
Then I sat down and finished Kates necklace and bracelet. Thanks for the order Kate, I had fun making that one. At first I wasn't sure about red and amber together but that came out really nice.
And then I sorta collapsed with Mark on the couches for the new show Life as We Know It on ABC.
It's a show for teen boys about dating and pressure and sports and college, like a mini soap for boys. Yay! for ABC for doing this show. Not that I agree with everything they are showing but it's a good starting off point for conversations for Mark and I. The one thing that sucks about being a single mom of boys (you thought I was gonna say like 5 things right?) is that I really have no clue what's going on with boys during puberty. None. Zero. And because I'm the mom, he really doesn't want to talk to me about too much stuff so the show is a good jumping off point in that it gets him talking.
Then I stayed up far too late and now have laundry and other assorted things to do today.
Hopefully, I can check in with you all at some point today.
Later days.
P.S.
I also got a picture of air guitar guy yesterday this time doing Wingers she's only seventeen at full on yell again. This guy is the next William Hung I tell ya.

Christine is having a going out of the Mary Kay business, sale.
She is unloading her inventory at cost so go grab some of that stuff up and help her clear it out of her house.
I was digging through my stats when I came across a single link to Dave at spacecoastweb from Truth Laid Bear. This is what he had to say:
"Okay, if you feel like gouging out your eyes every time you read a curseword, skip to the next post...
What the fuck kind of math is this shit - My Single Mom Life
Kat is too bleeping much! When she squashes a bug, she walks right past the flyswatter, choosing instead to pull the release cord on a suspended 20-ton weight of ridiculously large,Looney Tunes proportions! Splat!
I appreciated that on so many levels.
I might be a math geek, (with a circular sliderule, scientific calculator and a copy of the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables close at hand), but I am a word geek as well.
I have read others who have noted the historical fact that Kat shared, but no other had so eloquently told the story.
Great stuff."
Thanks Dave. That was like the coolest compliment ever. I just laughed when I read it and had to share. You made me smile.
You are a math geek, I'm a word and useless trivia geek. I know more about weird subjects than anyone really should but I get fascinated with the bizarre.
Can I update ya all later? I'm tired and hungry and just sorta need to veg out and frigging program a new remote. I dunno, something happened to this remote, again.
I hate it when electronics go bad.
Who is #65, Justin something?
Anybody know?
I'll tell you why if you answer my question.
Yeah, long day but I just got home and I need this answered.
Well this was certainly an interesting read, 22 pages worth of Bill O'Reilly talking dirty and being amusingly paranoid.
My my my. Bill, you dirty boy! Maybe he likes to be spanked as well as play with vibrators.
*snicker* He owns one and uses it. *shudder* Blargh! Gag!
My week usually starts on Wednesdays with doc appointments and keeps up like that straight through.
I have another doc appointment today. Same place. Hrm, scheduling idiots can't do 2 in one day apparently. Don't worry, I already bitched about the 2 appointments, 2 days thing. They just sorta stared at me like they couldn't understand why I thought it was asinine.
Sebastian is off to his Kennedy Space Center field trip. He's a little nervous. He will be fine and have lots of fun.
My eye is still screwed up. I really scratched it good. Crap. Nothing like that whole 3-d vision thing with one missing contact.
I would wear glasses but they broke.
Oh well.
Tomorrow, I have to go down and pay the electric bill and then Saturday I'm babysitting my cutie pie new little niece.
Have some things to do before I have to leave. Maybe another update. Depends.
Later days.
We just got back about a half hour ago.
Peed, put stuff away, took out my severely damaged contact lens. (Thanks again spell checker cuz I can't see shit)
Something got in my eye under my lens and the more I tried to set it free, the more it scratched my frigging cornea.
Can you say ouch? I know you can.
Got all my refills. I ran out of the anti-inlfam so I am happy to have that back. It really works well.
Got some more bead things to do some orders with.
Christine! Thank you for the nippers and crimpers. You rock. Guess what I was using for wire nippers?
C'mon. Guess.
No? Ok, I am the queen of dual uses. I was using a brand new pair of fingernail clippers but somehow, I think these will work better....lol
Hey, don't laugh. I once went for 2 entire years without using a real hammer. I found an old metal ice cream scoop at a yard sale once, (I did need an ice cream scoop) but I used that scoop for pounding nails and it worked like a dream. Then someone saw me using it for that purpose and bought me a hammer...lol
I mean that was cool and all but I was totally happy with my scoop/hammer.
I am wiped out but starting to catch my second wind.
In other news, I have been trying to call my awesome landman for 3 days. House and cell and it just rings forever. I really hope he didn't have another stroke or anything. That would suck very much. He is the best landlord dude ever.
Oh, what the fuck is wrong with the youth of today?
On the bus home from ghetto docs, it stops at a high school (no names to protect the privacy of the dumb asses that go there) and all these weird kids get on. They were talking about how cutting themselves helps relive stress and they'd rather have arms full of scars than take meds for their depression.
Hello? What. The. Fuck. Seriously. What the fuck. That is so not attractive young ladies. How are you going to explain all those scars to your future out of high school boyfriends and possible in-laws? Oh, I was really stressed out one night and decided that cutting myself silly was so relaxing. Yuh right. Bad habit girls. Take up knitting or some shit.
Then this other teen kid was on the bus talking about how like his whole family including him is suicidal and how he's gonna "do it" one of these days.
Aren't you all excited about who will be running our country someday? I know I am thri-illed by the prospects of these loser teens I seem to meet everyday. Thrilled beyond words.
Then, while waiting for our last bus, ( yay! Happy dance! 
) this guy is like singing Def Leppards Photograph at full on yell. I was throwing horns and ex-roommate was laughing. Dude, hum along, maybe even sing along but not yell along. You may have been having a blast but shit dude, you were scaring people.
to the blog ad over there called the Great Kiss Off. (link for my mom)
Click that ad if you support Kerry and do what it says.
This sounds like a cool fun thing to do to let Georgy porgey know he's going buh-bye if we women have anything to do about it.
Sadly, 22 million women did not vote in 2000.

Send that link to all your female friends and encourage them to vote. Their voices can make a difference.

Man I'm so tired again today. I better not be getting sick damnit.
Heading out here in a bit to go to the ghetto docs. ex-roommate has an appointment and I need to pick up my script refills.
It's going to be a long one.
Gah.
I embarresed Mark at school.
I called his classroom to make sure he had his key. We won't be back before they will.
He was like damn mom, I told you I had it and I was like but Markypoo, I love you and wanted to check. He said stop it.
Teens suck. No sense of humor at all.
I'm going to wear that bangle watch I made out and about today. I really like it, very comfortable and funky. I think I should do more of the fun ones. The fancy ones sure are pretty but these are way more fun.
That's about all from here for now so you all have a good one.
Later days.
*Picture copyright Lisa C. taken in New Hampshire this past weekend.
After the carpet ripping, things got quiet around here. We all just settled down into our usual routine of me surfing the blogs and the boys reading books.
I read stuff that pisses me off and I want so much to just scream from the rafters that that shit is asinine but everyone is entitled to their own opinions even if it is hate filled and ridiculous.
I don't have to like it or agree with it because that's just the way it is.
My kids hate it when I say that.
It's just the way it is.
They're all like well it doesn't have to be like that and some even say well that's bullshit and to that I say well then do something about it other than complaining. If you can't find a way to fix it, then it is what it is and that's all there is to it.
Have things to do tomorrow. They will get done but what kind of shape I'm in when I get back may be an entirely different story.
Later days.
And ex-roommate got this big box from her mom and in it was findings and clasps and wired and beads and more beads and more clasps and all kinds of fun stuff! Woot!
So I'm sorting it all out and organizing it so that I can make more stuff.
So Thanks To ex-roommates' mom for the stuff.
Marks cat, you know Nova, AKA Fatty Mcnotail? Yes, you're right. This is the cat that I threw outside cuz she was pissing on my rug and when I tossed her, she got her tail cut off by the neighbors car like the second day she was out there. Dumbass fucking cat.
Well, for the longest time, she has been oh so good. Peeing in the cat box. Really doing good.
But I have caught a few "accidents" here and there but didn't make a big deal out of it.
Well, today, oh man, today, I went to get in my closet to dig out Halloween decorations and stepped in this HUGE wet spot on the carpet.
So I stepped to the side figuring I'll get to it after I dig out the stuff and I stepped in another!
Ack!
So I stepped around a bit on the rug.
Dry, dry, dry, wet! Dry, dry, dry, wet! Oh my fucking gawd! There is piss all over my fucking rug! Where is that fucking no good for nothing fat little bastard!
I didn't kill her. I didn't even touch her. I wanted to so badly but no, this is Marks cat and I love him and he loves his cat and if I kill the cat, Mark will never speak to me again.
So I waited until Mark came home.
Then I handed him the rug cutting knife, you know, a box cutter. I made him cut my rug up. Cut it up and get it out of the house. Padding too. It smelled so bad.
Fucking cat.
He bitched and moaned and complained and whined and pitched himself a few fits and I said you either get rid of the rug and clean up this whole fucking mess or the cat goes and the cat will not go nicely. You dig?
He dug. He still pissed and moaned and stomped and complained about the smell. Oh yes, smells lovely doesn't it son? This is in MY room dear son. This is YOUR cats piss smells dear son. Rug or cat. Make up YOUR mind cuz MINE is made up and there ain't no going back dearest son of mine.
He cut it all up and bagged it all up and then he took a shower complaining the whole time.
Do you think he like even yelled at his cat when this was all over with?
No.
He went over and gave his big fat smooshy no tailed baby a big hug and a couple of loving scratches.
The shot shortage has created a panic here in this state. We have like buttloads of old people and as I'm sure you all have heard, the old people can have it first. Not us moms who should get it because we are the frigging caregivers of kids and the old people.
Oh wait, that's not what I was going to talk about.
Ok, so Publix does flu shots every year and because of the new little mini-law that says only old people can have it or the disabled or the really sick etc etc, a line of hundreds of seniors were gathered outside one Publix for more than 4 hours yesterday.
One senior said that when she got to the store at 8am and got her number, she was number 187. At 8am.
They waited in line half the day in the pouring rain, outside in the parking lot to get their shots.
Leaning on walkers, canes and sitting in wheelchairs.
One old man fell down from weakness after waiting nearly 3 hours for the shot and had to be taken away by ambulance.
Never got his shot.
One old man said he was having trouble standing for that many hours but had managed to listen to an entire audiobook on his Ipod (how cool is that grampa?) while he was waiting.
One old woman said that there needs to be a better way to get these shots out to the people who need them.
I agree with her.
Why are these seniors being forced to go stand in parking lots for hours to get a shot instead of say, oh I dunno, the hospital? Wouldn't it make more sense to give flu shots in a medical facility covered parking lot rather than a grocery store parking lot?
How do we know that the people dispensing the shots are doing them right? Are they taping their medical certifications to the little fold up card tables at which they do these shots?
Something is seriously wrong when seniors can't go to their doctors for a simple shot.
I understand about the shortage, I do, but I do not understand why this isn't done at a more suitable place. If you're only giving them to seniors who have health issues already, give them to them at a medically safe place.

You know those mornings. The ones where you just can't get moving to save your life.
I woke the boys up for their showers and fell asleep on the couch while attempting to watch the morning news.
I heard a faint goodbye mom, love you, I'm pretty sure I mumbled it back because I got a kiss on the cheek from one kid and one on the head from the other and heard one of them say, get some rest mom, we'll see you later.
I stayed asleep until about 9:20 or so.
I peed. I ate something. I drank a diet pepsi. I took my pills and surfed a bit.
I still can't really do anything. I'm just wiped out today and my back is oh so grumpy which makes me grumpy and then I withdraw from everyone and well, I know how that goes.
Kat's not allowed to have bad days. She must be cheerful and chipper and talkative and be the comfort of everyone else.
Not today my friends. I was a little off yesterday too. Just didn't feel like being social with anyone and you know what? Too bad people.
I do everything I can to comfort everyone all the time and sometimes, I just need a break from being the house teacher, shrink and guidance counselor.
And I am cranky today. I just caught myself going off here. It was nasty and so I hit the delete key and that will just have to be the way it is.
I love everyone, I really do but man, when does it end?
Older moms? When does this end? When can I expect people to just do the things they need to do? Ever? No?
Didn't think so.
*fuckingmotherfuckinggrumblefuck*
I'm so tired . I'm so tired of being the mom. I love being the mom and I love my kids.
I love being the mom but sometimes I just get so tired of being what they expect, you know what I mean? I don't know if anyone can understand it. It's not the cooking or the housecleaning and it's not the dishes it's the constant guidance counselor crap.
You know? Oh lovely garbage truck, good morning. Oh well I suppose I'll let you go cuz that thing is gonna get real loud in about 2 seconds.
Later.

I have added them to the beading pages.
I'm tired now...lol
No, not really. It's just my back has been bugging me a bit from all the rain today. It's still raining.
So I'm gonna take a quick break and then I'll be around to visit.
Later days.
The boys are doing their homework.
I'm about to go make that nana bread. Just finished all the dishes and I made a kick ass wrap bracelet for the fabulous Rhonda.
I'll scan and post it on my bead pages later.
Off to make some treats and maybe some more jewelery.
I love the bracelet I made for her. I almost want to keep it for myself...lol
But I won't cuz she rocks and I love her and I miss our chats through email but she's so busy these days with work and school and her hubby.
I hope to be able to just sit down and talk on the phone with her sometime soon like we used to.
She's a hoot.
No mail today Kat. Duh.
I have been sitting here waiting for him because I had a few things that I needed him to take and they won't fit in the box and where is he huh? Huh? Not here cuz it's a frigging postal holiday.
Nothing like wasted time. *sigh*
I like love horror movies. Like L-O-V-E horror movies. I get off on being terrified. I like to scare and be scared. But dude, seriously, this is one scary movie site.
Everyone said don't go in the bathroom and man, I can't even go up the stairs yet. I am seriously nervous. I walked around downstairs and looked in the fridge and saw one little thing in the mirror and heard a creepy phone message and I just cannot go up the damn stairs.
What is wrong with me???
I think it's all the hype.
I'll get up there and go in the bathroom and I'll see whatever the big bad scary thing is and then I'll be carrying my flashlight around for days.
In other boring news, the smell is gone.
And I'll be making banana bread later on cuz all my nanas turned brown. If I say don't eat them, I'm baking with them, they get eaten in one day. If I say yes, I bought them for you to eat this time, chow down, they sit there and rot.
She is such a happy baby. Like all the time. She hardly ever cries. I spent the whole day with her and then the boys came over there when they got back from the sleepover weekend.
We went to the store and I finally got the manager to move those nasty cinnamon brooms. We just happened to go to that one and I'm all dude, you gotta move those, I can't frigging breathe and you have them at every register, *choke cough wheeze* and he personally moved them. How's that for service.
Came home and we ate and I put in Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance and the boys passed out....lol
The movie is beautiful and interesting but they must have been playing hard over there cuz they are both just zonked out on the couches.
That's pretty much all that is going on around here. Sorry I didn't get to catch up with many of you today.
Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance.
Amazon.com
First-time filmmaker Godfrey Reggio's experimental documentary from 1983--shot mostly in the desert Southwest and New York City on a tiny budget with no script, then attracting the support of Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas and enlisting the indispensable musical contribution of Philip Glass--delighted college students on the midnight circuit and fans of minimalism for many years. Meanwhile, its techniques, merging cinematographer Ron Fricke's time-lapse shots (alternately peripatetic and hyperspeed) with Glass's reiterative music (from the meditative to the orgiastic)--as well as its ecology-minded imagery--crept into the consciousness of popular culture. The influence of Koyaanisqatsi, or "life out of balance," has by now become unmistakable in television advertisements, music videos, and, of course, in similar movies such as Fricke's own Chronos and Craig McCourry's Apogee. Reggio shot a sequel, Powaqqatsi (1988), and is planning to complete the trilogy with Naqoyqatsi. Koyaanisqatsi provides the uninitiated the chance to see where it all started--along with an intense audiovisual rush. --Robert Burns Neveldine
Reviewer:"kidfortoday"
One of the greatest peices of cinematic art of alltime. No other film will stick with you quite like Koyaanisqatsi. You will be enthralled by the organism that is industrial society. This film reveals many chilling revelations which up untill its release were never challenged or touched upon. Realization of this beast we have created. Many pounder the meaning and motives of this film. The answer is simply the title. Not the evils of man or hope for another way merely life out of balance. Reggio is truly one of the most influencial directors of our time. The soundtrack on the other hand is a disapointment. I must give Phillip Glass credit but his work in many ways cheapens the film. Mute your TV and put on radiohead's OK computer. It goes perfectly with the mood of the film. Boards of Canada's Geogaddi and Any Godspeed you black emperor record will go very well also.definately still as powerful today as when it was released 20 years ago.
I am currently at my sisters house babysitting the most beautiful little baby girl.
I can finally tell you. My sister is adopting this little cutie. She has named her Susan after our moms' mom.
I can't post any pictures of her but just trust me when I say that she is bee-ootiful!
She and I have a greeting that she does when ever she sees me now. It's this like growl...lol Ha! It's so funny.
Well, I gotta go. This little princess has finished her banana chunks and wants to play.
Later days.
Breaking in to your Saturday to let you know that the boobiethon has now exceeded the $8,000 mark in donations received!! We thank you, The Komen Foundation thanks you, and healthy boobies everywhere thank you for all you've done to help us get here.
But it's not over yet! We have a little over 24 hours to continue to set records with this year's event. I'm still accepting photos, we're still accepting donations, and I'm still posting your pictures as I get them in! Quoted from the site.
This is totally awesome! You all rock!!
Yes I know I have a new fun hobby now that I really like but my back is bugging the crap out of me today so I couldn't sit there for long.
Made some safety pin jewelery cuz the lady at the farm says those will sell but I only made 2 because I don't want to just make 50 of something and then have 1 sell. I want to put a bunch of stuff out there and see what sells and then make more of what works well. I do not like wasting precious could be blogging time on shit that ain't gonna move ya know.
Ya know reminds me of yanno and that reminds me of an ass. (random word association musing)
So anyway, Marks' Big Bro George gave me a chair back massager about oh 6 months ago and for some reason, I never used it and today I'm all where the fuck did I put that thing cuz man I hurt and I still don't have my own tens machine yet so hrm, where did I put it.
I just dug it out and placed it in the chair and oooh and ahhh and ohhhh yeah baby.
Muuuuch better.
Hey mom, it's exactly like the one you lent me what, 15 years ago when I lived in Portland and some ass named the ex-bastard sat on it and broke it.
I forgot how good that worked until just now.
Ahhh.
I'm going to have to stash it behind the couch though or the kids will play with it and break it when I'm not around.
I do have another bead set I want to do. I have all the supplies already laid out it's just a matter of going over there. Maybe take the back massager with me? Good idea Kat, why didn't I think of that?
So anyway, I may be on IM later on.
My MSN is mysinglemomlifeATmsn. and my yahoo is onecattykatATyahoo.
So I'll post when I'm on and if anyone wants to chat (holy shit! Kat's going to chat for once?!) You can log in and find me. I wonder how many people you can pull in at once...hrm.
Oh, my msn is on right now.
Jenni went into my trackbacks to "fix them" she had secretly taken a look at my refer hits first.
I get ref hits for anime pron all the time.
Go look at my trackback....lol
I've been up since 7 am just piddling around the house.
I guess I did sleep in, we usually get up at 5:30.
Did I tell you? The kids are not coming back until Sunday sometime.
How the hell did this happen?...lol
My sis and I joked about it last night as we were headed to Barnes and Nobles that this hasn't happened in about 3 years where someone just volunteered to take the boys all weekend.
I guess maybe it's because they are older and easier to deal with that it's no big deal to take both of them.
They are gone with best friend Mikey and his mom to house sit.
Mark called me yesterday to ask if they could stay the whole weekend because the house was a "MANSION MOM! It has a pool in the middle of the house. Not like outside mom, in.the.middle. of the house. It has like 4 acres of land and a HUGE jungle gym and a POOL in the MIDDLE of the house!!!"
I said yeah, go stay as long as Roxy doesn't mind. I heard her yell out in the background, "It's cool Kat, I got it under control, they can stay, they're being great!"
Ok, great. I'm glad they're being good for her because right before she came to pick them up, they were beating the living crap outta each other.
Arguing over Marks' lawn mowing job, toys, video games and the minute she pulled into the driveway, I swear I actually saw little halos light up above their heads. Huge beaming smiles, sweet little boy voices.
Always good and loving brothers for other people and comfortable hatred at home for each other.
Both boys are gone for the whole weekend.
What the hell am I gonna do with myself?
My sis and I went to Barnes and Nobles and then to the grocery store and now home watching the debate.
GW is getting a little defensive eh?
He just keeps repeating himself.
Calm down Georgie.
I'd love to be in the audience for one of these things.
They'd never let me though. Heh heh.
Well, hope you're all having a good night and enjoy your weekend if you take it off from blogging.
for Leslie aka the Cajun soaper.
She wanted blacks and greens and I love how vibrant this set came out!
She and I are going to do a swap for some of her handmade soaps.
I'm always willing to trade for cool stuff.
Thanks Leslie!
At least it wasn't hot out there and I went all by myself. *stomps foot and raises head snootily in general direction of doctors*...lol I hate not being allowed to go places alone but I didn't want to wake ex-roommate up just to go to the post office 4 blocks away.
It's finally looking and feeling a little fallish around here.
It's probably 80 degrees out there right now with a really nice breeze and the temps are supposed to go in the high 60's to low 70's over night.
Yay!!
Are there any Laurel K. Hamilton readers out there?
Any of you willing to temporarily part with your Anita Blake series for awhile?
My friend Shell offered me her e-reader account where she has some but ex-roommate is the one reading them while she's at work so the e-reader is good for me but doesn't work for her.
We wouldn't need all of them. If you wanted to do this, I could let you know which ones we have and you could send the rest and then we would ship them back either one at a time as she finishes them or all at once when she's done.
Do a little book swap.
Funny story for you.
I smoke outside (I know bad habit, don't lecture me. I'm a prisoner in my home with not much to do.) and so every night when I feel like a smoke, I go outside and every time without fail, there is a spider waiting for me.
Not just little spiders, oh hell no. Wolf spiders are there waiting for me.
No one would believe me until I started making ex-roommate go out there with me when I smoke so she can kill them. I'm terrified of them.
She thinks it's funny how they really are right there by the door waiting and when I step down the one little step they run straight at my feet and I scream and almost jump out of my skin.
She's just used to going out there with me now to squash the little bastards. It's like they know I'm scared and they have this plan to get me as often as possible.
I could go out there 6 times a night and there will be 6 spiders. ex-roommate kills them all and the next time, there is another. One of these days, I just have this feeling that there will be like a swarm (do spiders swarm?) waiting out there and they will run up my legs and start biting me.
I'll be heading to the post office to send them out in just a few minutes.
one girl wanted purples and the other wanted earthy tones so I went earthy with glass beads of different shapes and shades of orange, red and browns, some whites and yellows as well.

*Song of Songs 4:5
Thank you to those of you who placed jewelry orders with me already.
I just finished one and will do another tomorrow morning.
First one is in extended entry.
All my pieces are on their own page now and if anyone is interested in placing an order, just contact me.
Thanks!
This is for Lani.
I made a new watch and earring set and it is by far my favorite. The colors are bright and the beads are cute.
I love it!
Look in the extended entry.
But I just scanned all the pieces I have made so far and they are in the extended entry.
It is image heavy so may be very slow on dial up.
and some matching earrings and then a bracelet, a necklace and then helped the boys do some necklaces as well.
I'm going to scan everything tomorrow and show you.
4 days into this new hobby/business and I'm getting pretty darn good at it.
Who knew I had crafty talent?
ex-roommate and I went and did everything that we needed to do and it took most of the day and then I came home where I grabbed my heating pad and promptly passed out from 2 until 3:30.
I would have stayed asleep but the landman came a knocking.
He just wanted some rent and to chat about the latest medical developments.
I really do have the best landman on the planet and that ain't no lie.
He is patient and kind and understanding and encouraging.
He always seems to know what to say to lift you up just a little bit when feeling down and offer words of advice.
Great guy.
I need to like fast defrost our dinner. It's just not thawed out as much as I would like it to be to cook later.
Need to make at least 2-3 more pieces of jewelery tonight.
I made a beautiful purple watch last night. Gorgeous.
I'm not sure if I want to make some matching earrings or a necklace.
I think that earrings are better because then the look isn't so overdone.
I dunno.
I'll see what I feel like doing.
Not too much else going on. Will come visit you all in a bit.
Thanks for the support on the post below.
Sometimes, I just really hate people.
But not you guys.
*mwah*
Not a whole lot of time to sit and talk today. Have some stuff I need to go do downtown.
It is going to be a long morning. I am not looking forward to it but hey, I gotta go and do it.
I wanna follow up on last night if you all don't mind.
This is my site. I do curse. I'm the first one with my hand up in the air when the crowd asks who said the F word. I'm not ashamed of myself.
I know the origins of these words and I do not find them offensive so I use them. Words are meant to be used and not just lie around looking all big, bad and scary.
And if the words offend you so much, leave.
I'm not here typing for any one particular person everyday except myself.
I write for me and if you want to stop in and kick your shoes off and hang with someone who's not uptight and snotty, feel free.
I write whatever I want and I will not be morally beaten down by anonymous cowards with nothing better to do than go around running their mouths at how stupid I am when they can't even put a sound sentence together.
When are some people going to stop thinking that my blog is about them and that they know what's best for me and my family?
You will never know the lengths I go to to make sure that my kids are getting a good education and pull those grades up.
You have no idea how much I want them to succeed and will do what it takes to make that happen.
If you consider the words I use foul, don't read them. Go find yourself some morally uptight blogger who probably still calls penises hoo hoos because penis just sounds so dirty.
If you find me so reprehensible, get the fuck off* my site.
Phrasal Verbs:
fuck off
1. Used in the imperative as a signal of angry dismissal.
2. To spend time idly.
3. To masturbate.
I may not know math very well, but I know english literature and words very, very well.
Scroll down the page.
Kate and her family.
They just received some very awful news.
My heart goes out to them. I'm so sorry Kate. :(
No problems at the SS office. Gave them all the info, will have a new card in 2 weeks and they gave me an official letter proving he has a number.
Now I can do what I need to do tomorrow.
Came home and made some earrings to match the orange stone necklace. I took those 2 larger beads off of it making it a more simple yet elegant piece and then I made matching earrings for it and then a girly type bracelet with butterflies.
I need more supplies I have discovered.
Lobster claw clasps and a real bead crimping tool like this one, 2nd row, 1st one from left. I have been using my needle nose pliers and it's killing the pad of my hand to squeeze those little buggers. I think the right tool won't hurt so much.
I also need a lot more beads. My sister says she has tons of beads and she will bring them over.
Making the stuff is fairly easy, it's coming up with ideas that is the hard part because I don't have a huge supply of beads and clasps.
And if anyone is seriously interested in that watch and earring set, just let me know. I'm definitely interested in selling it so I can buy more supplies so I can make more stuff. Sold I can make more in different colors etc and will take some orders if anyone is still interested.
I would like $40 for it.
I'm now going to take it easy for the rest of the day because I have major walking to do tomorrow. Bill paying and then an errand which is like 8 city blocks from where I have to pay the bill. Gah.
Ok, now I am going to come visit as many of you as I can cuz I have seriously been slacking in the friend department.
Later days.
I am so tired but I have to get dressed here in a few and head back out and go down to the SS office today. I am bringing the little bugger with me because I honestly have no idea what they will need to prove that he is who he is and his age etc so I'm just bringing him, birth certificate, student id card and custody papers.
I'm still so mad that I have to do this. It's totally the OCD making me this way. I can't even tell you how many times I ripped apart the house this weekend and then put it all back together screaming that paramedic has it! I know she does! before I finally just accepted that it was lost.
I am so organized it's sick and when something gets lost, I almost get sick trying to find it.
Plus, my back hurts today and I don't wanna go back out. *wah*
Alright fine!
I'm going.
I didn't like the way it came out and so I remade it today and a set of matching earrings. I scanned them for better image quality and they are pop ups if you want to see them bigger.
And then I made a Oriental bead and stone drop down necklace.
This stuff is easy to do. Well for the most part...lol
Those damn crimp rings at the end to seal off the strands are a frigging pain in the ass.
But I did it and I figure if I do 2 or more pieces a day, I can make some decent money for that lady.
I don't know how much I want for the necklace but the supplies for the watch set cost me and sis about $15 so I'm going to ask $25 for the set.
Too high? Too low? I have no idea how much to charge for handmade stuff.
I am so tired. It was so hot out there today 
and I had to do a bit of walking to get some things that I needed at Wal*Mart when I finished at the docs, new undies cuz mine were like falling apart. I know, awful TMI huh? But hey, they were like 2 years old and falling apart and it was either spend a few bucks on undies or start sewing them back together. I'm thrifty but not that thrifty...lol
I picked up a few more beading pieces that I needed so I can do some more projects.
There is a happy health update somewhere else.
I'm out of here shortly for an appointment and a little nervous.
Tomorrow, I have to go out to the SS office as I need to get Sebastians card replaced ASAP because I need it this week. I know it will take 2 weeks to get a new one but I need something from them saying that that is his number. I'm a little pissed about that still.
Here is some of the rock jewelery pieces we finished.
Polished and glued to clasps.
It was a long process man. Not the full 22 days that I thought it was going to take because some of the rocks we used were softer than some others that would require more tumble time.
They didn't turn out bad at all but that thing is hella noisy man.
I may just stick to bead work.
Strengthen The Good: Strengthening the Good: Debi Faris And The Garden Of Angels
In 1996, while I had one eye on dinner and the other on the evening news, I heard a story that would change my life. I stood frozen as I listened to the reporter's account of the tragedy ... a newborn baby boy had been stuffed into a duffel bag and tossed from a speeding car along a freeway. I couldn't move, I just kept thinking about this child and wondering how we could have become a society that just throws their babies away as if they were a piece of trash.
I contacted the authorities and with the blessing of my family, I asked the Coroner's office to release the baby to us for burial. While waiting for the investigation to end on this child, I learned that there was another newborn baby boy that had been found in a dumpster, and a little girl about two years of age, who was found washed up on a beach.
On August 26, 1996, we had our first burial service for the three children. They were given the names of Matthew, Nathan and Dora.
I am such an uncrafty person but I just made my first piece of bead jewelery.
Isn't it purty?
I know my camera sucks but it's a pretty green bead watch with silver accent beads.
My sister is trying to help me start a little crafty business type thing.
She has a friend who needs items to sell at her horse tack shop at her farm and seeing as I have all this spare time on my hands, I volunteered to make stuff on consignment.
Not bad for a first try eh?
I had to go shopping for groceries and it's that time of year again. The time of year for Cinnamon Brooms.
These things are killers.
To those of us with severe scent allergies, trying to grocery shop in stores at this time of year could land us in the hospital.
They had them at every single register.
In the candy aisle.
The milk aisle.
The bread aisle.
The produce aisle.
Everywhere.
I needed to shop but I was gagging so hard and my eyes were watering and my lungs were burning, so I grabbed the basics, milk, cat food, cat litter, some frozen food and got the hell out of there.
By the time I made it to the register, I was going to throw up. I could taste it in my mouth and I was holding back chunks.
2 cashiers loaded all my stuff onto the belt and hurried through my order and my face was purple. They were yelling at me to get outside. They ran and got a customer service clerk who just stood there not knowing what to do.
I made it out of the store but was choking and my eyes were red and puffy and watering.
I came home and called the store and told them that they need to put those outside as those of us with severe allergies could possibly drop dead while shopping.
I told them I would consider going to other stores if they didn't place them outside in barrels. It's not fair to those of us who suffer from allergies to have to choke and gag and wheeze for the next several hours after shopping.
We need food too but we shouldn't have to suffer to get it and I will shop somewhere else if they don't move them to a new location outside the store or just place them in the produce section.
All of them in one place.
I can still taste it in my mouth and my lungs still hurt 45 minutes later.
ex-roommate and I were sitting around last night and I was in a stupor so I started thinking about all the things we have and why we call them what we do.
Like who decided that a spoon was going to be called a spoon and how did we all agree on it? I mean, maybe someone else called it a glub glub or something.
I may do like a full research thing because I'm curious like that but what I want to know from all of you is, if you could change the name of one object that you use everyday or have in your home and the rest of the world would have to agree with you and call it that from now on, what object would you choose and what would you rename it?
So he learned how to make a monkey, @('.')@, and now he is learning how to do more.
Do you know any web smilies that aren't too perverted?
You do?
Great!
Go post them in his comments please. 
There are 83 days until xmas and they have been going back and forth about what they want and all that crap for weeks now so I decided for them. I am going to get them an ethernet card and cord for their pc and hook them up to the net. That way we'll all be connected and none of us will have to share anymore.
I am also going to get them a few books to read each. Mark has been reading a new book every single week. It took long enough to get him interested in reading but he's finally enjoying books.
He has read the following:
Warriors of Alavna and The Named in the last 2 weeks and he'd like to read Warriors of Camlann which is the second in the first book listed series.
Yay for getting excited about reading finally. I thought I lost one there for awhile.
Sebastian has always loved to read and I haven't ever worried about him and books but Mark was more into movies rather than reading anything.
So that's my plan Stan.
What are your plans for your kids for xmas? What do they really want and what are they getting instead? 
The nutjob who calls here for ex-roommate obsessively just called and before I handed the phone to ex-roommate, I told her off.
I will not take anymore calls after 11pm and if she does it again, I'm going to block her phone calls and ex-roommate will just have to call them. I also told her that once I tell her, or my boys tell her that ex-roommate isn't home, that's it, don't call back. We will give her the frigging message when she gets home and if she keeps calling back, I will block her calls.
I am so not putting up with this shit anymore.
She's like, well, I only called twice cuz I was worried and I'm all like I told you ex-roommate is a big girl and she went out. If anything happens to her, she will get in touch with me from wherever she is and if she shows up after your first call, I will give her the message.
Then I handed the phone to ex-roommate and she called me a bitch.
Why yes I am a bitch and if she keeps that fucking shit up, I'll just start blocking those calls now.
Fucking little psychopath nutjob.
I have a house troll. I actually think my troll has moved with me everywhere I have ever lived because well, I just do.
My troll steals things. Not just misplaces things like the keys or a shoe for fun, he does that too but full out steal shit.
The paramedic swears she gave that SS card back and I say she didn't but if in the event she set it down, my troll swiped it. It is not in this house. ex-roommate moved every stitch of furniture while we were at the er and vacuumed and when I came home I had Mark help me move everything and lift cushions and curtains and shoes and books. I mean it, we moved it all. The paramedic calls me back and swears up and down black and blue that she doesn't have it. That only leaves one answer.
My troll.
I believe this is the same troll that was with me when I was a little girl too. It just takes the same kind of stuff.
When my family lived on Ocean ave when I was a little girl, my grandfather bought me a small clear plastic Snow White. I loved that toy. I kept such good care of her and then when we were getting ready to move, I made sure I knew where she was because I was going to carry her with me in the car. But when my room was completely empty and all packed up, she was gone. I searched the entire house for her. Every crack and crevice. When we moved into the new house, I made sure I checked every box from my room and my sisters room and she was still nowhere to be found. Then other things started to go missing like a single really shiny ear ring or ring. A barbie doll shoe. Not just lost in a toy box because I would go OCD cleaning my stuff to try and find things. Completely and utterly gone.
Over the years, more single shiny objects would just disappear.
I don't leave any ear rings or rings laying around anywhere anymore. They end up missing.
When the kids say that something is missing and that they just had it like 2 seconds ago and after an exhaustive search of the house, I am convinced that my troll has them.
I've told room mates not to leave jewelry or keys laying around and I'm sure they think I'm crazy but I have learned after all these years that the troll will take them and they will never be seen again no matter how much cleaning you do.
My troll has his SS card, I'm sure of it. Now I have to go down to the SS office and get him a new one.
You're using someone elses computer and the screen size is way huge or way small?
Yeah I hate that.
My sisters computer drives me nuts. I'm glad I get to use it at all but damn, the screen size is HUGE and I have to scroll like a lot.
I hate that.
Not a whole lot happening here. My back is acting up so I have been laying down most of the day. I need to go get in the shower soon though cuz I have to go to my sisters for a little while tonight.
That's really about all but I promise I will tell you about my troll.
I made sure I said that out loud this morning even if no one could here me cuz they were all sleeping.
I watched the debate.
I could say something really mean and funny but I won't and instead I'll just go uh, uhm, duh huh huh.
Sebastian is resting his leg. I hope it's better by the 14th for his field trip.
Back is sucky but not so bad today. May be off an on here. I need to see about a new SS card for him. She never handed it back and swears that she did. I called them and we tore this house apart looking for that card. It bothers me because there is so much you can do with an SS card # and now his is just sorta lost either here in the vortex of my living room, the trolls* may have taken it or the paramedic lost it in the gauze trash or the ambulance bus somewhere.
Ugh.
I will explain my trolls later.
Oh and before I forget, the Boobiethon starts today!
