That was fast.
I just ordered my amazon stuff on the 25th late at night and it showed up today! yay!
My moms film, Sebastians birthday present, shhh it's hidden. ![]()
And my 10 pack of vac bags.
I ordered a 10 pack because I'm an obsessive cleaner and they were 10 for $7.99 which is a way better bargain than the $4.99 for 2 I was paying at the hardware store which was the only place in SRQ that carried my vacs actual bags.
When generic vac bags say they fit your Dirt Devil D vac, they are full of shit. They are either too small or the opening is in the wrong place. I modified with duct tape too many cheapo bags. So I have real bags at a cheaper price and my floors are clean.
I know I said I wasn't going to clean anything today but I am antsy as well as sore and I can't help it.
I need to do the bathroom in a bit here. Two boys are really gross. That hole is huge, how the hell do boys miss all the time?
Or! Oh my god, I hate this, they piss with the seat down, get pee all over the seat and then close the lid. No flushing either.
So you go in, open the lid, there's piss on the lid, seat and a whole bowl full of it.
I hate it!!
I always yell at them, "whoever was the last one in here better get that little tinkle machine of theirs back in here and clean this up!"
9 times outta 10, it's Sebastian.
And he laughs.
Stinkerbutt.
Ok so Karri, your jewelery is going out tomorrow morning priority mail. Mom and dad, your film is gonna have to wait until Tuesday cuz I have mega stuff to do this weekend to get ready for Georges wedding and stuff. Jenni, I'll get your ring to you on Tuesday too.
I'm like frantic thinking about the wedding.
I have to go pay the elec bill on Tuesday morning, take the kids to the dentist again at 1:30 Tuesday, go to Bed bath and Beyond and get Amy and George some kind of present. Luckily they registered there and the stuff they put on their list isn't that expensive so I can get them a gift. They have been so awesome to Mark and me. I can't even tell you. Mark is becoming a good young man because of me and because of George. Big Brothers is a great program people. If you're a man and you can spare a few hours a week, please do this. It makes a huge difference.
Ok, off track there. I need to buy a cheap disposable camera for the wedding. I was going to use my sisters digital but she hasn't spoken to me in a few weeks and that's fine. Be mad. Feel sorry for my kids. Whatever. My kids are awesome. They are smart and funny and polite and kind and generous and caring and so no matter how much members of my family think I'm a fuck up and a shitty mom, my kids prove otherwise so there.
Bitter much Kat? You betcha. I'm so tired of people hanging onto old things I did in my past. I am not that person anymore and we all make mistakes but it seems I'm the only one who those mistakes are the be all end all in my family.
It doesn't matter one fucking bit what anyone else has done, oh hell no, only me. I am the fuck up in the family and certain members will never ever let me live those mistakes down even if the shit they did is 10 times bigger than what I have ever done right bro?
Man, this started off in happy direction and went south. I have issues as you can see and sometimes they bubble and surface and burn at my soul.

I hope you and your sister can resolve the issues soon; I know you really miss your nieces. You are right, you are a wonderful mom, and your kids are wonderful, too.
As for the bathroom...I really think that must be a boy thing cause mine do it, too!

I've made mistakes in my life Kim. No one knows better than me where I've been and what I've done but I am not that person anymore I'm so sick of my past being brought up at every turn.
I miss my nieces terribly but ain't much I can do about it. I am now, always have been and always will be the black sheep of the family. I've accepted it.

Hhaha! Yeah, if I could go back in time and retrain them on potty etiquette, I so would...lmao

Grown men do that bathroom thing, too! I refuse to lift the seat in my house, because it can be so GROSS under there! I make Mike clean that part. And he actually does it, because he knows that I refuse to touch it. I am not the one who pees and misses down there!

You and I have both made many, many mistakes -- sometimes even the exact same *kinds* of mistakes -- and we both end up with families that continue to harp on the past while yapping about the present and future. Don't pay fucking lip service to the "future" if you're hellbent on blaming someone for something that happened 20 years ago -- or three months ago, for that matter.
Why this happens, I don't know. I do know that your sis will come around again and clearly she's dealing with some issues of her own, but you're an awesome mom and she knows it. I know you must miss the girls for now, but just remember that it's only temporary. And hell, if she chooses to make it more than that, then she made her decision and didn't face some problems of her own.
You've done a hell of a job, babe. Those boys are intelligent, sweet, good-natured and all that positive stuff. If people can't move past your indiscretions from years ago, then fuck 'em -- especially when some of them ain't so innocent themselves.
Love you. *Hugs*

I know. It's just really hard to make strides when everyone is determined to remind you what a loser you're capable of being.
You know this all too well too...lol
Love ya babe. :)
