Hello

I have not died. I have been sooooooo busy. So I just got on to say hello. Things are going well. I hope they are going well with you as well.

She F***ing Hates Me...Lalala La.....

So ladies and gents......

There has been many events in and closely related to my life that have been damaging to people who I am close to or damaging to people who are close to the people who are close to me. Did I lose you?

Hypothetical instance numero uno: This woman that I know, and she is an awesome woman, has issues with her siblings. It is really a twisted sordid tale that I will not get into due to length and things that may not be appropriate for posting. Anyway, this woman has a sister who is a real wench...you know the ones....selfish, rude, ignorant despite education of the highest degrees, etc.... Sister lives and loves to stir up nonsense to "punish" woman any chance she gets. Sister likes to make trouble.

Still with me?

Ok. Woman also has a brother...not a bad guy despite the fact that he married a witch. Witch and Woman were best friends until the marriage between Witch and Brother took place. Witch and Sister like to get together and discuss things about Woman. Things that they don't tell Woman until...duh dUH DUH!!!!!!!! Until things topple over the edge and it becomes an avalanche of hurt feelings and untruths and things that can never be taken back. Permanent damage has been done.

Please let me take this time to remind you that Woman is an awesome person to know...It has been a privilege for me and I don't like anyone. I mean Woman wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence.

So Woman and fam plan a trip to visit everyone...because despite what has been said above...she always makes the effort. All of this nonsense comes out of no where and cripples her plans for the trip. It hurts the feelings of one of her children and things just go downhill. That sucks.

Moral of the story: Try to remember how to treat your friends. I am not even going to touch the family one today. That is a whole new ball game.

1. Always be honest with your friends.
2. Always remember that you love them and don't want to hurt them. Maybe this will stop you from putting your foot in your mouth.
3. Say things immediately when they need/want to be said. It avoids avalanches, Yo.
4. Try to remember the rules of fairness and justice.
5. Don't forget who a person is just because they move far away.
6. THE GOLDEN RULE!!! For crying out loud! Does that need to be said?

Instance number two:.....Will have to wait for next time. Blog temporarily down due to screaming babies and UIL meetings.

Why do birds....suddenly appear?

Thankfuls for this week:

1. My Daddy: I got to spend all weekend with him. Love him.
2. My Reina: I miss you very much, Homeslice. I don't care what B does or says...she is screwing herself and her husband over. I maintain that SW and F should go together to get the goods. (There! I used code....)
3. My Sister: Thanks for making me look better and better with every step that you take.
4. My Babies: So fun. Thanks for making my life have meaning and insane humor every day.
5. Coffee: Mmmmmmm...
6. Growing Up Poor: Learning how to stash cash without really realizing it and making things work when your husband runs you into a hole. :)
7. Diamond Bonds: I have to go get my diamonds cleaned and expected every six months. They always look so amazing when I do this and it makes me feel special.
8. Kay Jewelers: The ladies yesterday were very nice and really working to keep our business that we vowed we would never give them again after our last experience there concerning a fat cow.
9. Credit Cards: I hate them. I do. I want them to go away. If it wasn't for Bealls and the credit card that my husband has had forever with them AND their huge fat sale....my sweet boys wouldn't have been able to get school clothes this year. Plus I had no tennis shoes and my husband bought me a pair. Thank goodness. And we didn't spend much....big sale.
10. Internet: I was able to check my email which was good because apparently I have to go into school before my expected due date to get some things done. I wonder what would have happened if I couldn't check.
    

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Thankful Thursdays!!!

I realize that today is Wednesday...but let's face it...time is limited around here. Do it while you can.

Here is the short list of the long list list of the things that I am thankful for.

1. No-Nos. You have to love it when you have told your children no so many times that when you go to do it THEY tell YOU no.
2. Budgets. Workin it....Workin it.
3. Idiots. They keep me on my toes. Thanks...my life would be so much easier if it weren't for all of the idiots in the world.
4. Love. It's about what is keeping me going these days.
5. Sex. Hey...I mean really. It's sex.
6. Daycare. Can't wait. Two and a half more weeks.
7. Overdraft Protection. See number 3 for correlation.
8. Nice Weather. Go outside and play children.
9. Stormy Weather. It is just my favorite.
10. Fall. It's coming. Leaves are starting to come down in my yard which means it's only a matter of time.
    

Until next time!

Oops! I forgot.

Well I forgot my Thankful Thursday. Dangit! I am off to a rough start again.

O well! Here it goes a couple of days late:

1. Saturdays: Since today is actually Saturday I thought I should mention how much I really like them. I am sure that I will appreciate them more when school starts again.
2. Restful Summers: I don't know if this summer has been restful, but it has sure helped me to calm down as far as school goes. I have had a great time with all my babies, we had a vacation, I went to theatre workshop, etc...It has definitely been a FULL summer.
3. School: I really enjoy school. I love being the student more than I love being the teacher, but I can't wait to get back and instill knowledge. I love my job and it was great to meet other people who also enjoy their job.
4. Crazy People: Thanks for the entertainment. Thanks for showing your colors even if it is just a little late. You make my life easier.
5. The Dunkin Clan: You guys rock and I don't know what in the world I would do without you guys.
6. Airplane Tickets: The kind that are already paid for. I get to go see my Daddy soon and I am so excited. I just hope that my sister's ignorant ass husband doesn't show up. He and his wife can stay at home. I am taking a small vacay and that includes from people who like to play games....especially the ones that are not any good at them.
7. My Family: I love my babies. Both girls are "walking" and "talking" and they make me laugh. I love the effect my kids have on me. The ability to make me laugh....especially when they do something really wrong and I have to do something about it, but by the time I get there they have figured out something cute to do to melt my heart. O yeah. I am a sucker.
8. Reading: O yeah. I read this summer. It's much easier to do when you're not desperately trying to breast feed twins.
9. My yard: It is very pretty right now for some strange reason. Usually yards are not pretty at all this time of year. I am just sad that I didn't get to plant flowers this year. :(
10. Tango the Durango: I love my car. It gets my whole family where we want or need to be. There is a great deal to be said for that....
    

I Saw My Baby Trying Hard As Babe Could Try

Well I promised a good post. So many good things have happened since the last time I really posted.

• The end of school. YAY!!!
• My Summer Fest Workshop for TETA. It was absolutely amazing!!!! Cannot wait until January.
• Great planning for school has taken place this summer. Wonderful brain stormage.
• I read some books. WOW.

Now for the big stuff....and the stuff that includes PICTURES!!!! Woohoo!!!

• The first thing that needs to be celebrated is the birth of my nephew. I do not have pictures of him at birth, but you know where to go to see all that.

• The next big celebration is....that's right....we hit the one year mark.

*Note: The images you are about to see may disturb you. Just remember...say no to cake. *

This is your one-year-old.

This is your one-year-old on cake.

This is your one-year-old to the second power.

This is that same one-year-old on cake.
*Three baths. All I am saying.*

• This year we also experienced our first family vacation in three years. It was the girls first...and the first "real" one for my boy. We went to OKC Thursday-Saturday and here are some of the things we did.

Celebration......

Station!

OKC Zoo. It was awesome. The kids had a great time....um....despite the interesting looks seen above.


This beautiful giraffe that was right here along the fence for us to feed. She was so cool. The kids thought it was absolutely amazing. I just love giraffes.

And last, but not least, was The Science Museum Oklahoma. Better known as the "Omniplex." We spent all of our last day there and saw everything that was available to be seen.

Well, that's that. It was a much needed, well deserved trip. Everyone had a great time. I am about ready to get back to school now. So excited. Until next time.....

I'm Baaaaa-aaaaaaackkkkkkk!!!!!

Hello all! I just thought that I would apologize for not blogging for awhile. JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN AWHILE DOESN'T MEAN I AM GONE. Anyway, I have to blog because my BFFE is a huge Reinous Bitch who complains all the time about the fact that I have not blogged. So here is a little something to get me back in the game. My BFFE called and told me something hilarious so I had to get on and recreate my invasive presence. Sorry to keep you all in the lurch. I had a great vacation with the family so I will be blogging again pretty soon for the benefit of the vacay. Love all of you, see you soon, and remember......I AM NEVER GONE......I am always with you. LMAO. Catch ya'll on the flip-side.
