Only in America!

A lady wrote the best letter in the editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Arizona is addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house.

Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.

But I say, "No! I like it here. It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."

According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to educate my kids
You are Required to provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house and what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I also DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous This is? Only in America .

One more reason....

I love being a stay at home mom.
I can do whatever the hell I want to my hair!!!!

Stupid BITCH!!!!

I am sure most of you know how much I dislike my neighbor. Ya, the one that always would just walk up in my house. Well, we have moved but not all of our stuff is out. She owner financed the house for us (HUGE MISTAKE) and because of all the problems with her, we gave the house back. It was actually her idea and we agreed. We have until April 15th to get everything out. That includes all of our pets.

I was going to have to board the cats (2 inside cats that are totally declawed) so I shut off all the bedroom doors, gave them plenty of food and water, cleaned their litter box and left them there. Also left the dogs there (that are outside dogs) and the horses. My mom went by Monday and Tuesday to check on them and all was fine. She couldn't go Wednesday but that was ok because I was going today.

I showed up this morning and the first thing I saw was one of my cats, dead, right by the drive way (and I had Toot and Smiley with me). I told the kids to stay in the car and searched real quick outside for the other cat and didn't find her so I went inside. No cat BUT every door inside was open but the doors that go to outside were all shut. ALL of the bedroom doors were open. Called mom, she didn't open them so I KNOW the neighbor had gone over there. And put my cats outside. My cats wont go outside by themselves. She had to actually put them out there.

STUPID FUCKING BITCH!!!!!! There is a special place in hell reserved just for her!!!!


RIP Smokey and Fern

Dear Friends

Dear my fellow bloggers,

I've been a tad tight lipped and not answering emails but I want you to know that Benny and I are not splitting up. We are just moving. It was a quick decision and one we made to better our lives. It WILL all work out for the better, BUT it is very stressful and overwhelming to me trying to figure it all out. If you have read me for any amount of time you know I have horses, dogs, cats, family and KIDS. I have to think about ALL of them and what is best for each of them but also what is best for us.

So, thank you all for the luck, prayers and concerns. Means a lot to me and we need them! ;)

Ever so stressed, I mean, thankfully,

April

Next 3 weeks

Lots of things going on around these parts and so I am gonna be one busy chick. For about the next 2 or 3 weeks, I wont be around. Not on the blogs at least. Will still be checking my email everyday but that is about all I will have time for. BIG changes are happening and happening QUICK! Just wish me luck and say a little prayer that everything goes good and that we make the right decisions on all that we have to make decisions on. Thanks

Black cats beware!

Superstitious? Ya, sometimes I am. Mainly with the black cat crossing my path. I have on many occasions turned around. This past week, I had a black cat cross my path twice and Benny's once. Benny laughed at me because he knows how I am. But then, shit started happening.

Sunday night, a black cat crossed and 30 seconds later I almost hit a deer in the road. It was just standing there staring at me. Benny was sitting in the passenger seat because he had thrown his back out so I didn't want to slam on the brakes (and hurt him worse). Didn't want to swerve because that's how folks die. BUT, didn't want to hit the damn deer. So, I just slowed down and hoped it ran the right way. It didn't. But it didn't run the wrong way either. Just stood there.

Then, Wednesday morning another black cat crossed. A few hours later I was jumping on the trampoline with my kids and broke my toe. That shit hurts! The bruise is a lot darker now and twice as big and I now walk funny.

THEN, yesterday we went to South Louisiana with Benny. A damn black cat crossed our path and of course he laughed. But ya, he wasn't laughing later on when we got lost and he drove 50 miles to only go 4. Or when he had to change a tire on the trailer, in the freezing rain, on a tiny ass hwy with no shoulder. Or when he had to drive in the snow.

I don't think he will be laughing at me anymore. Who am I kidding, he probably will. He's an ass like that sometimes. I do know I'm shooting the next black cat that tries that shit thought!

Who me?

What is a 'Mommy blogger'?

I haven't figured that out yet.

To me, it sounds like someone that blogs about their kids all the time. I don't. I'm not sure about my stats but I'm pretty sure I don't blog about my kids more than half the time. I'd have to go back and look. Or, you could tell me. Do I? I know I bitch about stuff. And I talk about our weekends. And about my life. But, do I talk about my kids a lot? And even if I don't talk about my kids a lot BUT I am a mom that blogs, does that make me a 'mommy blogger'? I don't think so. I like Sage's term, a vanilla blogger.

I cuss on my blog. I say fuck (even though I know it makes my mom cringe). I say pretty much whatever I want and my mom wouldn't want it any other way. She just wants me to be me because I started this blog for a reason. To be me and to find others that relate, no matter if it's a man or woman, to me. Or, even if they don't relate to me but we become friends. The world would suck if we were all alike.

You can't think you know me just because you read my blog. I have said that before. It pisses me off when someone puts me in a stereotype just because I am a mom that happens to have a blog. Carrin knows things about me that none of you know, including my family. Amanda knows things about me that none of you know, including my family. Sage knows things about me that you would be shocked to know, including my family. Hehe. But hey, I share what I want to share with who I want to share it with.

I have made some great friends. Actually, best friends that I will be friends with all my life. I know this. And I know they will always be my friend no matter what. So, if they day comes and I do something that shocks you, don't be surprised (like shaving my head for example). It may be to much info with words or a pic but hey, it's me. If ya don't like it, don't read it.

I have decided I want to put ALL of me out there. Not just the part I thought you would like. So, I am not going to be a 'mommy/vanilla blogger' any more.

I am going to be a April Hall blogger.

I have stopped commenting on a lot of the blogs I use to for 2 reasons. First is because of the blogs I read that DON'T have a pop up window for comments, it screws up my computer and Internet Explorer goes crazy!!!! Like bat shit crazy!! The second reason is I just don't have the time. My comment count (folks that comment on my shit) has gone way down because of that but that's ok. I am cool with that. Give and take. I get that.

Just know, things might be a little different around here. I might be a 'mommy blogger' one week and a R or X rated blogger the next. I will be just like I am in real life, ya never know what ya are gonna get!

Not getting pinched!

It's St Patty's day and you can be damn sure I will be drinking beer to celebrate. But, gotta wear some green too. Don't want to get pinched, too hard. So, I got to thinking about what I should wear that is green.

First thought was a green thong. Benny might like that.
But (pun intended) I don't have the ass for it.

So, how about a green bra?

Hmmm, I got tits but that bra doesn't look like it would quite fit me.

Soooooo, I found the PERFECT outfit for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks comfy and I wont get pinched! I'm a total pj kinda girl so this seems perfect. And, Benny could get the matching pair!!!! Sure he would love that! Hehe!

Truthfully, I am Irish and I do love St Patty's day so if I could pick something to wear that I don't already have (I have a ton of St Patty shirts), this is what I would pick to wear.

And I am sure my tits would look great in it!!!!

BTW, I have a clover tattoo so even if I am naked, you can't pinch me!

IT'S A FUCKING JOKE!!!!

So a while back, my friend and favorite male blogger Sage wrote this post. Here is what it said (the part I am talking about).

"Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic.

Secretly...guys feel left out. That's right...left out. There's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life.Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it.This is why a new holiday has been created .

March 20th is now officially 'Steak, Blow job & Shut the Fuck Up Day.'

Simple, effective and self-explanatory...this holiday has been created so your ladies can have a day to show your man just how much you love him.

No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town the name of the holiday explains it all...just a steak, a BJ & shut your mouth for the rest of the day! That's it!

This twin pairing of Valentine's Day and Steak, Blow job & Shut the Fuck Up Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It's like a perpetual love machine.

The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.

Come on folks lets get this thing started!"

Ok, he wrote that as a joke (though I'm sure he's all for it). I thought it was funny as shit. I read it to Benny and he thought it was funny (though I'm sure he's all for it too). So, most agree it's funny because it's a joke, right? That's right, I said MOST.

OK, so why would someone get all upset about it and throw a big hissy fit? Oh ya, because some just like to be pissed. The person that did was all "Valentines isn't just about women,that's so sexist, not fair to same sex couples, blah blah blah...." She actually wrote a whole post about how wrong this is.

Are you kidding me? IT'S A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!! If you can't find humor in harmless jokes then you must be pissed all the fucking time!!!! I admit, some jokes are just plain mean and not funny but this wasn't one of them. Come on now.

Life for that person must suck. They should find a new one.

It's almost 3am so....

this could be either really interesting or really stupid. We'll see.

Ever read a blog and they have SO much fucked up shit happen to them daily that you think they have got to be full of shit? Ya, me too. I just want to call Bullshit with every post. But, I continue to read because it's funny to me. BTW, I never leave mean or rude comments because that would just be shitty. Actually, I don't leave any comments because that would just feed their need of attention. So, I blog about them behind their back. Because that is way more mature. lol

I LOVE the show Jackass because I cry from laughing so hard throughout the whole damn show. Seriously. Watched one tonight where Steve-O waxed his body. Well, bikini line, chest and eye brows. I woke up Benny I was laughing so hard. Them fuckers are so stupid and it cracks me up.

Toot was standing on bleachers earlier and some kid knocked her on her head. She actually landed on her head in the floor. She didn't cry but I think it was because she was in such shock. One second standing on her feet, the next second, standing on her head! I was kinda shocked too and the little shit that did it got away. My kids would have apologised over and over. She still got the Frisbee so ha ha!!! And yes, she was fine. As she says "Cowgirls don't cry"! Her song, not mine.

Hummm, what else. Oh ya. I learned something about myself today. I automatically don't like other people named April because there is no way that they can be as cool as me. BUT, after I get to know them...... I still feel the same way. Just kidding. Maybe.

Why are pro choice folks pissed about the new law in Utah? It says that a woman can be charged criminally for aborting/killing the baby inside of her if she does it illegally? I thought they were pro choice, not pro killing babies? And I thought they wanted it LEGAL to kill babies so women WOULDN'T do it illegally. Guess I am wrong. If ya want an abortion, do it the legal way (and early enough so that the pro choice folks can say it wasn't a person) so us tax payers don't have to cover the bill when the guy you paid to beat the shit out of you goes to far and puts you in the hospital. Seriously? This wasn't already a law of some kind? Oh, I guess that should be a woman's choice also. Fuckin stupid.

Think I will get any mean/rude/nasty comments on this post? If so, who really gives a shit? I don't.

Have a great Friday folks. Mine is starting out pretty good so far.
