Just a reminder

No one in real life knows about my blog except my mom and Benny and I would LOVE to keep it that way so if we are friends on Facebook, PLEASE don't mention it. If they knew about it I would have to censor it and I really don't want to have to do that. I like being able to bitch about who I want, when I want. It's nice to be able to get shit off my chest without hurting anyone. Thanks.

Today has sucked! It has rain ALL day long without stopping. We have pretty much just laid in the dark watching movies all day. I sure hope the sun makes an appearance soon. They even let Benny get off work early because of all the flooding.

If Toot rides a sheep this weekend, I will deffinately take pics to show yall. Benny has to work so he will miss it so I have been told to take video and pics. I can't wait and just hope it doesn't get rained out again!

Off to cook supper. Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!

And it just keeps coming

It is raining. Still. We have had soooo much rain this year. Oh ya, and it was confirmed that we did get tornados the other day.

I am really getting tired of the rain and it needs to stop before winter gets here. We never get snow. Well, hardly ever that is. It has only snowed ONE day since Toot has even been alive. What we usually get is ice. We haven't had a bad ice storm in about 7 or 8 years. On the last one, people didn't have electricity anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. Yes, you read that right! One whole month without electricity!!!!

If it continues to rain like this, I am sure we will have another bad one this year. I am not looking forward to that!

Because of the storms and tornados and rain, the rodeo we went to got rained out and rescheduled for next sat. That's ok though because I really wanted Toot to compete in the mutton bustin (ride a sheep as long as possible). I know she would love it. So now, I have 6 days to convince her. I know if she sees other kids doing it, she will. She never backs down from a challange.

Have you ever,,,,

Got in a fight with your brothers because they are shitty? I have! Did tonight.

They are assholes and Mom, you shouldn't go! But that is just my opinion! You know how I feel about it.

I love you and am ALWAYS here for ya!

This sucks!

We had a bad storm go threw a minute ago and now we have no electricity. Really bad straight line wind which is never good with all the trees we have. I went out for a second and only saw small limbs everywhere. So, I called my folks to check on them.

They have shit down everywhere. They have these tent carport things because they have so many cars (6) and she said one of them blew away. They have a corvette they are rebuilding and a 50 pound sack of deer corn was on the hood of it and the hood blew off of it and landed one of their trucks. A pine tree fell on their boat. And then a bunch of limbs down everywhere including on their power line. Ya, they don't have electricity either.

Thank goodness I have a laptop with a battery or it would be very boring and dark in here but no coffee dammit! Last time we had a storm like this (last year), it took 18 hours to get our electricity back. Hope it doesn't take that long this time!

Better picture

This is after a second shower and a little make up. Yup, still pink. I'm just gonna say I did it for breast cancer awareness month!

Requested pic and a problem

So there ya go, I took a pic with my pink hair. Not a great pic because I just woke up and it's kinda dark in here. Either way, there ya go.
OK, we have a problem and I need some help with it. Little Man has these 3 kids that have been bullying him forever. Lately they are getting physical. Like shoving him around and yesterday, one of them grabbed his throat. Until yesterday, my advise was to ignore them and not give them the satisfaction of pissing him off. Well, Little Man can't do that. I guess it's just not in him. He always lets them see him pissed.
I have called the school but they kinda just blew me off. I have talked to the ring leaders mom (she works with my ex mother in law)a ton of times and she doesn't do anything about it. So what is Little Man to do to get this to stop? A few men I have talked to said that Little Man needs to get scrappy with them. I am scared he would get his ass kicked. One of the kids is HUGE! Benny tried to explain to me that boys are different than girls and unless Little Man stands up to these guys, it will go on forever. Even if he does get his ass kicked.
I really don't know what is best. I did tell him though that if the kid grabs his throat again, to reach up and pull his ear down as hard as possible. I may have been really pissed at the kid when I said that. I just don't know what else he can do.
Bullies suck!

Miss Pinky Lee

We had a great weekend even though we didn't do much. We did go to the festival but the teeth that they were sealing on the kids haven't grown in yet on Toot so that didn't get done. Oh well. The festival was actually pretty boring and so we left and went to the dollar store to pick up some cheap toys.
They already have the Halloween stuff out so I picked up a can of hot pink hair spray stuff. Toot loves it but we have pink EVERY WHERE now.

And I might have pink hair too. Not as easy to get out as I originally thought.

Yesterday, we spent the day laying around and watching football. A disappointment with the Cowboys but oh well. I love it though what the NFL is doing for Breast Cancer Awareness month. All the pink gloves and shoes made me smile. I always try to support Breast Cancer Awareness when I can so if you are a woman, don't forget to feel yourself up this month (and every other month to follow)!

Random randomness

So I have some stuff to say but not enough for a whole post so here is some randomness for ya.

A little back ground. My dads best friend was a school teacher for 30+ years. Over that time, he became good friends with the school nurse that is an RN. He just retired recently after his quadruple bypass. OK, now he has a B-12 deficiency and has to get a shot everyday for 5 days at home. His wife wont do it so you would think he would have his nurse friend do the shots. NOOOOO, he wants my mom to drive over there every morning and do them since Little Man gets shots everyday. He said he wants someone that knows what they are doing. Don't nurses know how to give shots? Thought so. He is just a big whiney butt.

Little Man's step mom is stuck in Germany. She went to see her hubby (my ex hubby) for a 3 day weekend 2 weeks ago and can't get back home. Is it bad that I think this is funny. She flew on a military plane to get there and is now just waiting for one she can get on to get back home. They are hoping she is home by Thursday. This made me giggle to know she is stuck alone in a different country. (Yup, sometimes I am a bitch) Don't worry though, she knows German so she should be fine. And they actually want to take Little Man over there this December. This is not the way to convince me it is a good idea!

This weekend we have a festival going on and the dental community will be there giving fluoride treatments and sealing the kids teeth for free. That is a $170 dollar treatment for free. I will be there with Toot. I had my teeth sealed when I was little and never had a cavity until I was pregnant with Little Man. Definitely worth it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I plan on it.

Dear Family

Dear Little Man,
I am so glad you finally got to come home. I hope you enjoyed your week with Grandma but now it's time to go back to normal. I do my best to keep you from getting sick because of your diabetes and sometimes that means shipping you off when we are all sick. It's all for you babe. I hope we don't have to go through that again for a long time.
The woman who missed you dearly,
Mama

Dear Toot,
I know you love your harmonica and all but it is driving me crazy! How about you only play it outside or in your room with your door closed? I don't mind if you do it in the living room as long as I am NOT watching my favorite shows. I hope we can come to an agreement on this little annoyance. And yes, I do believe you will be a superstar one day.
The woman with the ringing ears,
Mama

Dear Mom,
Thanks a ton for giving Toot a harmonica for her birthday. She absolutely loves to play it ALL THE TIME! Appreciate it.
The woman who still has ringing ears,
April

Dear Benny,
I understand that you do this every year but when it is the last weekend you are gonna have for 2 months, don't ask me if I am excited about it. You wont like the answer. I promise. Lets just not talk about it and just let me get through it. I love you and have never bitched about it so lets not mess that up this year. I will miss you and really hope you have fun so lets just leave it at that. OK?
The woman who will miss you while you party it up at squirrel camp,
April

Dear Smiley,
DUDE! Seriously! What is wrong with you?! You have already poured out 3 pounds of sugar, 5 pounds of coffee, God knows how much salt and a few boxes of cereal. Was it REALLY necessary to crack open a dozen eggs on MY bedroom carpet?!!!! I don't get it. You KNOW you are going to get into big trouble when you do it but don't seem to care, why? Can you PLEASE stop? I am really sick of cleaning up your messes while you hide from me. I am begging you know. This is getting so old!
The woman who is SOOOOO tired of the extra cleaning,
Mama
