Hopefully I’m back in full swing of things. Antibotics, coughing pills (horse pills) steroids, and an inhaler more, but hey I’m in it for the cause. I have been such a bad blogger lately. Just haven’t feltt like it.
I did get out Sunday for a little day trip. I ended up paying dearly for it. But it was fun. I took my first trip to Target. Yes I know, it’s sad. What I seen of the place I really liked it. Shorty was all over the place so we really didn’t get to look. But when I am up to it, I’m going back. 
The weather is so freakin’ nice. I am loving it. I really wished it could stay this way all year long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, I saved this from this morning and never got to finish it. Guess who had a reaction to her medicine? Yep that would be me. I started having massive chest pains. So I have a new antibotic. Oh what fun. Hopefully this won’t kill me. Anyways, I’m going to sit outside and bask in all the sunshine and all it’s glory.
Ok lay back. Close your eyes. Well not really but pretend you are anyways. Because if you really was you couldn’t read this right?
Ok, I have been majorily sick this weekend. I mean I probably should have been put in the hospital I have been that sick. Anyways. I being the good daughter that I am, called my mother to inform her I wouldn’t be coming out again this weekend to visit because I am so sick I am writing out my own will. Instead of inquiring about my well being the conversation goes to “Are you mad at me?” Well hell no I’m not, I just don’t want to travel 45 freakin’ miles away when I have a breathing tube stuck in my mouth just so I can get some kind of relief. I normally don’t burden people with my problems. I am the type who just grins and bears it. But come on, give me a break, when I have to tell you to hang on so I can cough and cough some more, please.
Tomorrow, I will make the dreaded call to the Drs office in hopes that he will be a god and give me some antibotics without me having to come in as a walk in and sit for hours upon hours listening to the SOS that goes on. I can tell him pretty much exactly what is wrong with me and I will be right. I have done this with the kids and their Dr was freaked out because I could tell her what was wrong with them before she even looked at them.
During all my sickness hubby has been wonderful to me. I wonder if he has a life insurance policy on me that I don’t know about. Oh hell who am I kidding he wouldn’t bump me off, he can’t cook for shit. LOL
Sorry for my delay in post. I have been pretty sick and still feel like the shit that comes out of a horses ass. Sorry, but I do. I’ve been doing an awful lot of thinking here lately. I have released some baggage that was weighing me down. Everything is on my terms now. I have gained my family that I needed. I acquired a treadmill. Plan to walk listening to the hair bands of the 80’s. LOL, I refuse to give up the 80’s. I plan on getting more into photography. I have a lot of plans, just gotta get better to get them done
Sick people are all around me
Ok, Saturday morning I am awoke to Wild Child throwing up. Eww. Saturday night, I feel very sick to my stomach but I however refuse to throw up. That’s just nasty. Sunday..pretty peaceful. Yesterday Shorty, complaining of severe belly cramping and threw up once. Ewww again. Last night, hubby complains of belly cramps and feeling like he needed to throw up. OMG I am really sick of this virus or whatever it is. Please go away. So far Jelly Bean is the only one not cramping or throwing up. Good girl.
Good Morning Sunshine
Well it’s not that good. Barfing kids during the weekend. First Wild Child and now Shorty. I felt very queasy last night after eating. I didn’t sleep worth a shit either. Nose all stopped up, couldn’t breathe and I have a hilarious fear. Ready for it.. make sure you’re not eating or swallowing anything liquid. Ok, here goes… I have a fear that when I can’t breathe out my nose, I will forget to breathe out of my mouth during the night. Told ya it’s hilarious. I don’t know where that fear came from. Just did.
I was so so so bored this weekend. We managed to stay home and entire weekend without going anywhere. And now it’s nice outside and I’m bored. I may try to talk hubby into a little road trip. I would love to go to my Grandfathers gravesite. I haven’t been there in probably 20 years. We used to have Easter Egg hunts at the grave yard. Yes we did. It was a meeting point for my mother and her sisters. I really don’t remember much about my maternal grandfather other than him being in the nursing home and sending us to the vending machine for a RC Cola and a MoonPie. And the smell of the nursing home. He passed away when I was 4 I think. But isn’t it funny how a smell can stay with us for 27 years.
I remember when he died. I was left with my Great Aunt, whom I really didn’t know. I vividly recall her taking me to her daughters room and we got out a baby doll stroller. She had my undivided attention so Momma and Daddy could sneak away from me. It worked. I didn’t even notice they were gone.
But when my kids great grandmother passed, I took them to her funeral. I wanted them to understand the process of life. Some complained because they were so young. But I also prepared them for my step dads death. He was their grandfather after all. They handled it pretty well considering they was so young and confused, but after explaining it, I personally think we done the right thing.
As a parent, we often question our decisions and wonder if it was right. Most of the time, when we go with our gut instincts, we are right.
From the what the hell and who cares files.
So Britney Spears shaved her head. Demi Moore did it. Sinead O’connor did it. What’s the big deal? Maybe she’s like most mothers who get tired of having hair. Well hell who am I kidding, she didn’t even have do to her own hair. Even though I really don’t like her, I think it’s so funny how her shaving her head as slick as a baby’s butt can create such attention.
Anna Nicole. OMG this gal even in death can bring up some drama. Gotta love her. What I don’t get is, Howard K. Stern. Dude if you are so sure you’re the babys daddy, get off your ass and prove it. Wouldn’t it be some shit, if the real daddy was the really old man she married. (Not disrespecting the dead, just don’t recall his name right off hand). Talk about drama.
I found a really cool website a few months back and totally forgot about it until Wild Child asked me to look it up. It’s really cool. www.africam.com . The place is cool and at night, the sun is coming up there and you can see some pretty neat animals…
Ok, I have three kids fighting so gotta run.
When I grow up
When I was little, I had major dreams. I would dream of being somebody and leaving my hometown. Well I never knew that being somebody meant being a wife and a mom. Those are the most rewarding and what really matters. Sure, I would love to see my name in lights. But for a lot less heart ache I can have my kids hold flashlights while I get hubby to write my name.. hence, my name in lights..LOL
I used to sit an wonder where I’d be if something in my fate led me in a different direction. But now, I know that our destiny is chosen for us. Some just never realize it and take it for granted, thus far losing it. I chose to embrace it. I do it everyday. I’m not perfect, never claimed to be. But in my hubby’s and kids eyes I’m pretty darn close and that’s all that matters.
I’ve seen this around the net and thought it’s a really great thing. Hence this week I will be participating.
My kids school. Why can’t you properly inform parents of upcoming events? I didn’t send Shorty’s Valentine’s yesterday because I didn’t receive anything from you. When I asked her (yes I asked my 5 year old) She said you told her no party. WTF? Now I feel like a bad parent who doesn’t want to participate. NOT MY FAULT. All your’s!!
To asswipes who say they will pay you and then recant. Bullshit. If you pay for a service, cough up when it’s due. Stop bullshitting around. NOT FUNNY!!!
To the crazy woman who thinks the drop off for the kids is Nascar. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. My kids have to attempt to make it class in one piece before the bell rings. And if you run over them, they won’t make it. Pretty sure of that one!!
To certain member of my family who are just plain stupid. Get over yourself and leave the others alone. Don’t screw up their lives for your pleasure. I hope they tell you to F.O.A.D.
Whewww I feel lots better. This is cheaper than therapy. A big thanks to Denise for leading me to the F.O.A.D revolution. Feels great!!
