Another year gone

It's new years eve. Wanna know what we are gonna do tonight? Absolutely NOTHING at all. I have started a fire in the fire place, the kids are relaxing in their room and now all we need is Benny to get home from work. We are tired and just want to chill. Smiley asked me where LazyTown was and I told him it was here tonight! My kids don't like fireworks anyway so they wont miss that part of it. Freaks them out.

Anyway, this year has gone by pretty fast. Lots of shit happened. It's pretty cool having this blog because I can go back and remember all the fun times we had.

I guess my resolution is to just be a better person, wife and mother. Can't really go wrong with that one!

Hope everyone has wonderful night and year.

Hey you!

Been gone. Hanging out and babysitting my bro in laws kids since Friday. Get one night home then going to my moms to babysit the dogs, horses and grandparents. Wouldn't trade my life for anything though! Good people take care of their family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you aren't like that, check yourself!!!!

So, no pics (right now cuz I'm tired) and there were are too many crazy stories to tell (would take about 5 post and I'll probably tell ya, just not tonight) so this is all you get. Don't ya hate it when folks tease ya like that? At least I said I will probably tell ya!

Here is a hint:
My MIL acted a DAMN FOOL! I wasn't involved cuz I was too drunk to notice! hehe!
My niece, that I was bragging on last year, acted a DAMN FOOL a couple times...And I was not involved! But I was sober unfortunately!!!!
I was good and kept my mouth shut ALL WEEK!!!!!! And I wasn't involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great and naughty (stealing that part from Sage) weekend!!!!!!!

Pics

I have been super busy this week but had to show yall these pics. The first one is of my niece and nephew. It just cracked me up. I think Santa has to be on something in order to just keep on smiling. The second one is of Toot at the Christmas play at church. She is just too cute!

Dear family...

Dear Mom,
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me all my life, but what all you have done this month for me really means the world to me. I don't know what I would do without you. I am the luckiest girl to have you as my mom.
Love,
Your VERY grateful daughter


Dear Toot,
PLEASE quit asking me 50 times a day if it is Christmas yet. I know you are excited but dang girl, you are driving me crazy. I promise I will not let Christmas pass without telling you. I also promise that we will make Santa cookies on Christmas so don't worry. I have everything under control.
Love,
Your pinky promising mama

Dear Smiley,
I love the way you are. You are perfect in your own little way. There is just one thing I need from ya. Now I know most parents would love what you haven't been doing but I need a little help. All you have asked for Christmas is a truck and a REAL train. I'm gonna need a little more to work with babe. So, give it some thought and let me know.
Love,
Your mama that is out of ideas

Dear Little Man,
OK kiddo. It's get that it is almost winter break and you are excited. I get that it's almost Christmas and you are excited. And, I get that you are so excited about going to Boy Scout camp right after Christmas. BUT, do ya think you could tone down the attitude a tad. And when I say tad I mean A TON. This arguing with me over EVERYTHING is getting old real quick. And so is talking to me like I am your child. I don't let adults talk to me like that and I sure as heck am not going to let you. So, just go back to your sweet self and all will be well again.
Love,
Your mama that happens to know where she can get some coal

Dear Benny,
Quit stressing. I have everything under control.
Love,
The woman who hopes you are a gullible as your daughter


For more Dear someone letters head on over to ShortMama's place. It's all warm and cozy over there. You'll love it!

Seriously, just grow up

I have just about decided that women are the meanest people around. Not teenage girls, not bullies at school but grown ass women. Seriously.

For the last 2 weeks I have seen 3 cases where women just acted like complete fools. They were mean, destructive, hateful, aggressive, calling others horrible names and spreading rumors. What the hell? I thought we were suppose to out grow that back in high school, not get worse! It seems men are more mature when it comes to the way you should treat others.

Two of the cases was on the internet. I am sure you have all seen it happen, especially among bloggers. I guess it's just so easy for some to be nasty online because you are hiding behind a screen. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it should be done. And not only is it just one person, once it gets started, tons of women jump in from both sides and get nastier and nastier. It's really sad.

Then there was one case that I got to witness. Women in their 40's throwing drinks, breaking phones and getting into a fist fight. It couldn't end there though. No, they have drug it out for the last two weeks seeing who could piss the other one off more. When I heard about it and then saw some of it, all I could think of was how these women REALLY need to grow up and REALLY need to get a life. If they have nothing better to do than act like this then something is really wrong. That goes for all the women that act like this online too.

So I have an idea. How about everyone just get along seeins how it's the holidays and all. How about we learn to bite our tongue and just walk away or turn off the computer. I know people wont do it for long because some people just crave drama but lets give it a shot for say....the next 3 weeks. Think ya can handle it? Hey, then maybe try and do something nice for someone else. You never know, you might find yourself being a little happier in life.

He's my lobster!!!

Yay!

I have been blogging a little over a year now and I really think the best thing I have gotten from it is some very special friends. Friends who now know me better than most and still love me through all my faults. Friends who don't judge me and are always there for me even though they live states apart.

The other day a really cool chick gave me an award. I love getting these, not because of what the award actually says, but because it means that I have made a friend that thought of me when handing it out.

This is the award Rose gave me. Thank you girl!

Now I gotta tell you 5 things I like to do.

1. I love to go riding backroads with my husband.
2. I love to sit and watch my kids tickle each other.
3. I love to read a good book while snuggled up in my comfy bed.
4. I love hanging out with my parents.
5. And, of course, I love drinking beer. ;)

I am going to give this award to Amanda and Carrin. They are 2 of the best friends I have ever made.

Hmmm...life....

So hey, it didn't snow here. Apparently it did in Houston but not here in Linden, TX which is 5 hours NORTH! Oh well, I was actually looking forward to it because of the kids. We went and did some cool shit though because I just rock like that.

Did have a really shitty Thursday. It happens I guess. I'm just not quite sure how to get over it. Benny and I hardly ever fight but Thursday was our worst ever. It was bad. My heart is pulling me in two different ways. One says to hang on for dear life and never let go of him and the other says to run away as fast as I can. It's not fun. We are going on a 'date' tonight so hopefully that goes well. I hope, I think. I don't really know right now.

I do love him so much and can't imagine life without him but......

I don't know. It's hard. I gotta fix me. I can't fix anyone but me. Is love REALLY enough? Can I forget the hurt? We'll see........

I need more batteries!

OK, most of yall have seen this post but I had to repost it for the few of you that haven't (Rose and Trudy). Carrin reminded me of it yesterday with her post so I just had too. ENJOY! I know I will!!!! I wrote this on May 20th but I added one to it today.



Well, Benny is leaving for 7 weeks on Monday and we will only get to see him on weekends. He will be working those days too but we will at least get to eat supper with him. I could write a long and depressing post about it but I opted not to. Instead, I thought I would share with you all the male celebrities I think are really good looking in no particular order. Sounds like a lot more fun to me.


Johnny Depp - I've always had a thing for him and think it all started with Edward Scissorhands.Matthew McConehey - He is so yummy and he is from Texas.

David Boreanaz - You already know why if you read yesterdays post.

Will Smith - Can you name a movie he doesn't run in? I can only think of one (The Legend of Bagger Vance) and he is in a ton of movies. I love his smirks, so cute.

Colin Farrell - I could just look at him all day. And listen to him talk. I love his accent.

Brad Pitt - Not one I normally would have picked but he did look so good in Troy.
Mel Gibson - I love Mel. We have all the Lethal Weapons and watch them all the time. We also have Mad Max which I think is totally stupid but agree to watch it just to watch him. That's one sexy man.

Kevin Costner - Have you ever seen him as Robin Hood? Another extremely sexy man. I love his smirks too. I have Mr Brooks and it was so weird seeing him as a psycho. Good movie though. My favorite is Tin Cup.

Russell Crowe - He looked real good in Gladiator. I love his voice too. I actually have a very old movie that he made in Australia and didn't know it was the same guy for the longest time.
James Dean - Rebel Without A Cause. Nuff said! I fell for him a long time ago. Funny thing, Benny's grandpa looked JUST like James Dean when he was younger.

Tom Selleck - He was sexy enough to be Monica's boyfriend on Friends. Also, my dog Zues was named after his dogs on Magnum P.I. His dogs names were Zeus and Apollo.
Richard Gere - I'd be his hooker ANY day.

Sean Connery - Have you heard him talk? Nuff said.

George Clooney - I watched ER just to watch him. We also have all of the Oceans movies just because he is in them.

Mark Harmon - I do think he is very good looking but my Mom thinks he's HOT. This is how she remembers him. He is pretty hot there.

This is how I know him. I watch NCIS all the time. Still very good looking.

And Mom, when I was looking for pictures of him, I ran across this. I know where you can get a copy. ;)

Wasn't that fun? Anyway, hope everyone has a good weekend.

I had to add a new one. (It's not Benny BTW)

Later taters. Hope you enjoyed the show!

Global Warming?

Today is Dec 2nd. It was snowing this morning in Dallas, TEXAS! It is suppose to snow here Friday and they (the news) said the snow could make it all the way to Houston! WTF! Usually IF we get snow it is in Jan or Feb. So, where is this global warming I keep hearing about. I haven't seen it.

I didn't see it this summer either. Our hottest month was JUNE! We only had a few days in the 100's over the whole summer. Usually August is one 100 degree day after another but not this year at all.

I don't really mind the snow, its the ice I don't like. It is suppose to snow AND rain Friday and then get into the 20's that night. Glad I don't have to go anywhere Saturday morning but Benny does leave for work at 5:30am and doesn't have his 4X4 truck anymore. Sucks to be him. He is starting a new shut down that day and will be in a metal building all day. He is going to FREEZE!

So, once again, I am a little worried we will have another ice storm this year. Ugghhhh.

Everyone is healthy and happy and that is really all that matters. And the kids will be so happy about the snow so I guess it's not that bad. I'm just not quite ready for it yet. I don't even know where my winter coat is or if I even still have one!!!! Man, my head is gonna get COLD!!!!
