Wordless Wednesday with a few words!

So fuckin hot!!

Best Blogging Friend Ever!

Carrin, you ROCK! Drunk ass! Hehe!

That's all I got to say about that!

Tuesday whatever's

I know a few of you do the Random Tuesday thing so I figured I would add to it.

• Little Man starts Jr High Monday. It seems just like yesterday when he was Smileys age. It won't be my weekend to have him so his step mom gets to take him to his first day. That sucks.
• Speaking Of Little Man going to Jr High, he decided to be in band and play the trumpet. Is it expensive to sound proof a room?
• I worked out yesterday and was surprised when I wasn't sore this morning. So, I am either in better shape than I though I was or I just did a wimpy work out. I'm going with that I am in better shape than I though.
• Smiley and Toot just about drove me crazy yesterday. They were in rare form for some reason. Somehow Smiley put a hole in Toots head and Toot spent the day torturing Little Man. Needless to say, they both took naps so I wouldn't go completely insane.
• Last night Benny and Little Man played a Sims game on the Wii. That is the MOST BORING THING TO WATCH. I watched them for about 3 hours and finally went to bed. It may be fun to play but I just can't handle watching that again.
• And lastly, if feels so good to have everything done. I have everything in order right now. Nothing to stress over just things to look forward to. The next few weekends are gonna be so good. This weekend will be just hanging with the family with no stress, the next one I will be going on a trip with my mom and the one after that Carrin is coming to see what is so wonderful about being in TX. Can't wait.

That's about it for now. For more randomness, go here.

Ouch!

I am a real clumsy person. Most people don't get just how bad it is until they actually hang around me. I trip over things that aren't there, run into walls for no reason and I have actually broken my own nose.

I also tend to cut myself with knives. Benny has joked since I have known him about how I shouldn't use a knife. Every time he cooks steaks, he asks if I want him to cut it up for me (and usually I let him!).

Friday night I decided I was going to cook potatoes and onions. Grabbed the knife, cutting board and got to work. On the second onion, I sliced my finger open bad. It was still bleeding the next morning. I know it needed stitches but I am so tough, I didn't go to the doctor. Actually, I just really hate shots and wont go to the doctor unless I think I am seriously hurt (or know shots will not be involved). Yesterday I went and got some Neosporin and band aids and was all good.

Then the weirdest shit happened.

We were headed home from Target where I had purchased a coke. You know, the ones in the plastic bottle that they sell by the check outs? I had already drank about half of it when I tried to open it again to take another drink. I say 'tried' because I didn't actually get it open. Instead, it some how sliced open my index finger and thumb! Yes, the lid on a plastic bottle cut me open!

Benny is so sweet and was crying. Of course it was from laughing so hard. Maybe he is not so sweet. After that, every time I reached to open it, he would grab it and open it for me while still laughing.

So now, both my hands are cut up and typing really isn't that easy. Hope the rest of the week is better (and less bloody).

Not far at all

I love my dad. He cracks me up so much. I was talking to a good friend and warned her about his ways seeins how she will be meeting him in about 3 weeks. Then I realized, the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. Not in our case at least.

I was telling her that when she meets him, he will mess with her. And that the way to get on his good side is to take it and then dish it right back at him. I then told her that the main thing he would probably joke with her about is the fact that she is a yankee. Hmmmm, that sounds familiar. Remember this post? Anyway, with my post yesterday and then talking about him, it got me thinking. He tends to say things that could go left unsaid too (but then it wouldn't be as fun). Yes, I have a great example.

As long as I can remember, Taco Bell has been my FAVORITE fast food. I LOVE IT. Use to, I always got a bean burrito with no onions and pintos and cheese. And no, I was not a gassy child, thank goodness. We always did drive thru (probably why I still refuse to go inside).

When I was a freshman in high school my best friend was also a huge fan of Taco Bell. It worked out really good because we never argued about where to go. One day we where hanging out with my folks and we went to TB. My dad said something I will NEVER forget and still cracks me up to this day.

We ordered our usual (she always got the same thing I got) and we proceeded to the window. As always, my dad checked the bag to make sure we got what we ordered and noticed they left something out. SPORKS!!! How can you eat a bowl of beans and cheese without a spork? Ya can't!

So my dad asked them for some and a second later she said they didn't have any. BULLSHIT! It's Taco Bell! So then my dad said "I don't care if you have to shit them but find me some!". Me being the smartass I am said while laughing "I care!". She found some along with a dirty look and we went on our way. IF I was the window chick I so would have found one, shoved it in beans and then handed it to him. But that's just me for ya. This is a memory I will always remember and laugh at.

Now you can really see where I got my 'say whatever you want no matter what' trait. I love that about him and it has made for some great memories.

Gotta give a little credit to my mom though. One time we went to the McDonald's drive thru and they asked us to pull up and wait. And wait we did. Forever! Finally, she got out of the car, went inside and asked if they had to go kill the cow. I guess my dad rubbed off on her.

My folks rock!

Verizon SUCKS!!!

I am so sick of what is going on with my phone and computer. It drives me crazy and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it so I am going to bitch about it.
I have had Alltel as my cell phone carrier for years. I don't even have a home phone and haven't in about 4 years. Our phones always worked great and basically everyone I talk to was on Alltel too. Back in March (I think) I got rid of my satellite internet and got the little thingy so I could get my internet through Alltel. It worked great! It was fast and I never had any problems.
THEN, Verizon takes over. Now everything SUCKS!!!!
My signal bounces all the time. I can have a full signal one second and then it will say "No Service" the next second WITHOUT ME EVEN MOVING!!!! That makes it VERY hard to finish a conversation. I cuss more now than ever because every time I get a call dropped, I cuss Verizon. Then, it started screwing with my internet. NOW I'M REALLY PISSED! I get kicked offline all the time and it has gotten sooooo slow. The signal on it bounces just as bad as it does on my phone.
I thought Verizon was suppose to be so good. I have seen their commercials. What was that they said about no dead zones? They are so full of shit!
I talked to the Verizon chick (that use to be my Alltel chick) and all she could say was "Give it some time. It should get better." WTF! Are you kidding me? It SHOULD get better? It better damn well or I will drop them (and loose my deposit) faster than they can drop another call! And I am not the only one that feels this way, EVERYONE I know is having the same problems.

No job for me

Well, I now have no reason to go find a job. Actually, I have a reason to NOT get a job. I don't like the reason though.
I got a call today saying that Toot and Smiley's school is shutting down for good. Around here, they have a pre-k at the public school but you have to be poor to go. Your only other option was the pre-school at one of the churches and since they are shutting the doors, my kids have no school to go to at all. Toot was so ready for school to start back up and Smiley was soooo excited to be going. It's going to break their hearts to learn they aren't going, especially Toots. She wants to see all her little friends so bad.
Silver lining, I don't have to magically come up with $450 in the next 2 weeks. Or school clothes.

They say it is so hard being poor but the poor get free food, free medical, and now (around here) an early start on their education. Pisses me off!

One cool chick

My daughter is one cool chick. Actually, she is the coolest little chick I know. She is so funny and also very adventurous. She has absolutely no fear of anything and will try everything we put in front of her. The no fear thing has scared us a few times and caused her to brake her nose TWICE but she doesn't care. She will do it all.

About 2 weeks ago we went to the lake with my folks. They have a knee board too so we thought it would be cool for me to ride on one next to her. She wanted to ride all by herself. If you remember, her one and only time to ride by herself was on Father's Day. Anyway, we did it and it was the most fun I have had in a long time with her.

After a minute of riding next to me and watching, she learned how to actually steer the thing. She did so good and giggled the entire time. It got to the point she was actually chasing after me and trying to splash me. I gotta tell you though, the chick doesn't fall off. I of course can't fall off because I know she wouldn't let go and I would be stuck floating in the water. So, I had to stay on right along beside her. I got VERY VERY tired. I finally just had to tell my dad to stop the boat. My arms were shaking for an hour after we were done.There was also a tree with a rope on it and out of 4 kids, she was the ONLY one that would swing from it. That made her daddy very proud of her.She cracks me up everyday and amazes me with all that she will try. Her daddy is worried that when she is older, all the boys in town will think she is as cool as we do. He thinks we are in trouble!

Oops!

Last Friday we took Benny's piece of shit truck to the scrap yard. It had been sitting in my yard for 3 years just looking ugly. I was so excited to finally get rid of it. While at the scrap yard, this guy had to show up.
Because Benny's truck BLEW UP!!!! Apparently they were suppose to take the battery out so this wouldn't happen but I guess the chick was too busy because she didn't. The kids thought it was cool as shit. The employees, not so much. Oops!

Also, today is my baby boys 3rd birthday! I can't believe he is already 3. We had a mini party Sunday with Benny's family. Does that cake look familiar? If you read yesterdays post, it should. It was left over wedding cake. We are having his party here this weekend. How lucky is he to get 2 parties?!

Happy Birthday Smiley!!!!!!

Beautiful

Talk about one of the longest days in history. I woke up at 3:45am Saturday to get everyone ready and out the door. We got there about noon and the day began. The wedding started at 5:30 and was so beautiful. My niece and her man looked so happy. It was such a beautiful wedding and I hope more than anything that they are always as happy as they were then.

My other niece pulled the brides baby girl down the isle in this cute little wagon filled with flowers. I thought that was such a great idea.

Toot pretty much stayed in the middle of it all. She stayed in the room with all the girls before the wedding started.

She also had a real hard time staying away from the cake. She was totally being encouraged to have a little taste by a few adults.

This is all of Benny's immediate family.

So it all turned out really great and they now have plans to get their life on track. I really think they are determined to make this work and I pray for the best. It's all up to them now.
