Tuesday, March 14, 2006 What not to do when you are....

PMSing. I start PMSing 2 weeks before aunt Flo comes. I suffer from horrible PMS. But anyways....

What not to do when you are PMSing....

Buy girlscout cookies....They will be the death of you. Them damn little bitches hanging out in front of Walmart asking you if you want some cookies.

Talk to any customer service agent, especially those that are outsoured an not from this country. You will find yourself talking to people you can not understand and being passed around like a cheap whore...not a good thing. Lucky for them I was on hold for so long after the fourth person I talked to, because they were about to be cussed out.

Go grocery shopping, you will feed your chocolate cravings. Eddy's Dibs...they are a bad bad thing.

*************************************

Note to self...buy my sis a camera phone. My sis was at school last night and she saw a guy who wore the most horrendous pants..basically they way she described them was, the back part of the pant were ripped all the way down, basically she saw were dudes boxer shorts ended, and the only thing holding the jeans together was the sting down the crack of his ass, you know what holds the panels together. Yeah, Fug Thursday Hall of Fame? I know people want to make a fashion statement, or some kind of statement, but you think that is a bit much?

Monday, March 13, 2006 Bargain Shopping.....



I am trying to accesorize for my new job, and I do not have a watch. I paid a visit to overstock.com and found this beauty at a steal. It is a Lucien Piccard and retail value of $325, I paid about $50 for it. I love to shop and find bargains and save money. Especially when they are having major sales at my favorite store and I get discounts up the thing yang. I have save tons of money there.

*********************************************************

Now that I am getting this job I will need to drop one of my classes. So this weekend I spent scrambling around trying to find a replacement class with no luck. It is an elective. All I have left is three electives and two core classes and I am done with my BBA. So I went over to the CC website to see if I could take a class and have it transferred. This got me thinking, I went there back in 98-99'. So why not see if I happened to pass any of my classes and have it transferred. Went down there today, and I am in luck, I passed three classes. One is not transferable because I had it transfered from my old college in MO. But I have a Spanish and Criminolgy class that I am positive will transfer. So that is two classes I can use as electives and take my last elective class I have been trying to get into and then my last two classes and I am DONE!!!!!

**********************************************************

YUCK! My belly is giving me issues. I am so nauseated, my phenagren is calling my name, but I have to pass. I hate it when it gets this bad, especially when I can't take my meds, because I will be laid out and I have my Volunteer work tonight.

********************************************************

Updated*** Phengran was screaming in my ears, I had to give in and take the pill, I feel yucky. So I should be getting some relief soon.

Friday, March 10, 2006 My son, the metrosexual......

My son, he is a metosexual.

Fist, let me say, he is also, all boy. he loved playing in the dirt, roughhousing, and heloves anything with a motor, i.e. cars, airplanes, motorcylces, boats. He freaks out over this stuff. But at the same time, he has to be dressed to impress, and he is only 2. He has to have to look good, and he will fight me on what he wants to wear. He plays with babydolls. BTW, not a big deal to me. But I go into the girls room and he was on JR's top bunk, and he was playing with his cars, He said to me, Mommy, the babies are sleeping in "Princess Tinkerbell's" bed. I look down and he three baby dolls in her bed all covered up. He is such a sweetie. However, I think his favorite color is pink. He wants his sister's pink blanket all the time and fought with his sister on her strawberry Shotcake placemat. Then there are the clothes he has put on. Evidence below.






*****************************


The Talk with JR.....

I picked JR up from ballet, and as we were at the last she asked me why "Dickhead" doesn't go to Grandma's house anymore, he is my moms ex-dickhead. I told her that they broke up.

Like Mimi (my sis) and Uncle C?

Yes, darling.

Well you and daddy break up?

No baby, me and daddy are married, we will not break up.

So our conversation was about me Big Daddy getting married. Then she asks me, how did me, sissy and bother get in you belly?

Well baby, Daddy and I love each other very much, so we decided we want to have a baby and we made you.

Then she asks me how we made her.....

UH, honey let me think about it and I will get back to you on it. I still thinking about what to tell her......I don't want to lie but don't want to give her to much info if you KWIM.

She is so cute though, her new saying is.."Don't you know?" I will ask her to do something or get something and if she did it already or know where it is or has it who will say it and then "Don't you know?" Such a smarty pants.

**************************

I had a job interveiw yesterday. It was for a bank, actually th one I belong to as a Call Center Account Representitive. It was a long four hour process. I had to go through 4 diffrent tests. The firt test was a simulated call center. And you had to answer questions (multiple choice) during the call and navigate the screen and input information. I thought I did decent on it. And she asked me how I thought I did, and I told her I thought I did well, I know I messed up a couple of areas, but I know my mistakes. So she looked at my scores. I see a 99 for computer skills and then these 30's 50s and 70s. I think to myself, GREAT!! This isn't good. She said, Wow, you did excellent. I did? She told me that the passing scores are like 7, 8, 3, etc, and here I was in the 30s, 50s and 70s. My next test was Math, Alike or not alike speed accuracy and the questionaire on ethics. When she meet me and lead me out she told me that I did exceptionally well on all my tests. After speaking with me and getting the Call Center manager I over heard her tell the manager that I got 90s on the other tests. They told me that I would be hearing from them in 2-3 days about the positions. They had to have othe people look at it, run a credit check, and check my refrences. Wouldn't you know they called me this morning. I was sleepign because I worked last night and I called back around 130. She had called me twice. She said "I have been calling you all morning." I apologized and explained I had woked last night and I was sleeping. Well, she made me a job offer and I accpeted and I am to start on March 27th!! I am excited. They have excellent benifits and after six months I can tansfer positions. So I can move closer to my house. WOOHOO!! I am excited.

I told Big Daddy I was fugging him. He gave me this happy look, no sorry babe, it isn't a good thing so get your mind out of the gutter. Sorry baby, but it has to be done. He gave Mamma's Little Man a hair cup (as he calls it) and messed it up. Here is the evidence:

Sorry babe, you been fugged.

Welcome to




Hosted by The Kept Woman

This week's assignment is....
You put what in your hair? Football Widow came up with this week's theme of bad hair accessories of the past (bows that could eat your head, satellite dish silver lame headbands, etc.)...boys, you know you thought you were all cool rockin' the sideways baseball cap and yes, that counts...


Ok, I really did not use hair accessories, but my biggest foe that I used in my hair was the hairspray. The first example is not my picture, the one I have is at my mother's house. But do you remember the late 80s/early 90s, and the "bangs"? The higher the better. If you achieved 10 inches you were a goddess. Well this is the best example I could find that represented this awful redemption of the bangs....




What were we thinking about during this time period? What made us think this was cute? I am glad this era is over, and lets not get retro with hair for this time period...PLEASE

Next sample of the hairspray problem is from 11th grade. It is not bad, and may not seem like it, but I had to make sure every single piece of hair was in place.....



When a girl's best friend is hairspray, then AquaNet is the product to use. Cheap and trust me, your hair was not moving.

My last sample is....



Yep, synthetic hair. I bought it and while I wore it, it was all mine.

My Cooter is gone....he has died. I knew he was going to go here soon, he didn't look to good today and laying on the bottom of the tank. At least The Frog Prince II is alive and kicking. However, my sis's frog, Herpe, passed this past weekend. I think my family needs to stay away from the aquatics.

Could he be deceiving me???

So, Big Daddy quite drinking about 6 months ago. I am very happy he did. Yesterday, I was going through my closet looking for my black heels from my job interview, and I had two bottles of liquor in there from my graduation last June. I haven't checked them recently, but I hid them there so Big Daddy wouldn't drink them up. And after he quit I was going to dump them out, but never did. Well not to long ago he had put something in my closet and I hear the clank of the bottles. Yesterday, there was only one bottle in there, and it was empty. He said he drank them a long time ago. I am not sure though. I am not sure is I can believe him. But what proof do I have. I would be upset that he drank, but I would get over it, just as with any addiction, there will be relapses. However, it is the lying that makes me upset. If you did, tell me so we can work through it, don't lie to me about it.

Is Whitney Houston pregnant?
Plus: Oliver Stone critiques Madonna’s acting

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 2:42 a.m. ET March 2, 2006


Is Whitney Houston pregnant?

Comments by her hubby Bobby Brown are leading fans to think she is.

Denying buzz that his marriage to the singer is in trouble, Brown told a mag that their bond is stronger than ever.

“I’m hoping that she’s pregnant right now,” Brown told Sister2Sister. “She’s just resting.”

Whitney’s rep, however, suggests that the bad boy rapper is spreading false rumors, saying, “She’s not pregnant.”

God, I hope not, we don't need another crack baby.

Mi Vita Loca......

Was Lost but now Found......

Thursday a guy came to my house and he had a cute little Pomeranian with him. She was adorable. He asked me is she was mine. Nope. Well a few minutes late I go outside to wait for Princess TinkerBell to get off the bus and what do I see, that cute little pom in front of my house. I called her over and took her inside. I was planning on posting Found posters around the neighborhood. Hoping inside she wouldn't be claimed. She was a doll. I went in the back and noticed my neighbors German Shepard in the back. Oh that is right, they have a Pom behind us. Get in the car and drive around and their German Shepard was in the from yard at this time. I walk over to the gate and a HUDGE hole was chewed out of the gate. So that is how she got loose. I left a message on their door and I was able to get the Shepard to following me to my yard and put her in my yard. She was a very nervous dog. Next thing I know, she is gone, she jumped my fence. The owner got home and came to my house to collect their Pom. (I was a bit sad. She was such a doll) Well they sent me a bouquet of beautiful Flowers yesterday. I thought that was sweet of them.

My procedure......

Well things went well with it. He didn't find any ulcers. Which is good. He wants me to go in for an U/S and a high density scan. He wants to see if I have any gall stones left. I had my gallbladder taken out last year. He also took some biopsies to see if there is any bacteria that may be causing my nausea. So I guess it is on with those pills that knock me out.

The Drama......

I had made plans well in advance for my girls when they got out of school. Princess Tinkerbell was suppose to go to my friends house (I have known her for 20 years) and she lives on street up. I called Thursday and left two messages, one at home and one on her cell to remind her. Then I called her yesterday, the day of surgery, and left her a message on her cell, I didn't bother home because I saw she wasn't home. Well, I was sitting in recovery and I told Big Daddy to call mom and let her know what was going on. He tells me there is a message on the cell from the bus driver that they still had Princess Tinkerbell and that my friend wasn't home and they took her with them to the elementary school. I am freaking out. I call my friend and she answers, Oh Shit, I forgot. I remebered once I saw the 540 number. I told her where she was and she was able to find her. My mom called my sister off work to my house and friend dropped Princess Tinkerbell off at my house. She told my sis that she had forgotten, and that she hadn't talked to me since Wednesday. Ok, but did you know check your messages? I left you three. I am not the type of mom to not make sure things are set up. I am neurotic like that. But we got her. Thank God.

Thursday, March 02, 2006 My day in a nutshell and Men Part II

Well the electrician was suppose to be there at the trailer between 4-5pm yesterday. After the fiasco on Tuesday, I was not sure how things would play out. I couldn't be there at the 4-5pm time frame because J.R. had a ballet at 530. I ended up having Big Daddy come home at 4:00 today. Will get into the reasons later. So after doing with him, I left with J.R. to the trailer at 4:45. I call the electricity place to see what was going on and if they had any news what was going on. She said he wasn't there yet and the time frame was 4-5pm so he should be on his way.

At 515, still no electrician. I left the trailer and took J.R. to ballet and came back. Still no Electrician. I called at 5:35. She tells me he was sitting in traffic in Lorton. ??? What? I thought he was going to be there soon. So I wait, wait, wait. The lady's younger brother is driving me crazy asking me over and over, is the electrician coming? Where is he? I don't think he is going to come. Did you know: this and this and this is wrong, are you going to fix it? (whole nother vent) So, 6:15, still no electrician. As I was getting in my truck to leave and get my girl from ballet. As I was leaving, guess who shows up? Yep Electricity guy. Show him what needs to be done and leave. So in a nutshell, everything is fixed and I am out $180. At least now I can wipe my hands of it go on with my life.

So Big Daddy really really pushed my buttons. I am so tired of him not being involved, but wanting to, and not making any contributions in things he wants to be a part of. So I made him come home at 4. I made the decision for him on when to come home. The only reason I caved because I called Home Depot and they did not have my measurements on file, and as I said before, this flooring was going off sale that day. Hence the urgency. So I wanted him home to make my measurments. He gives me attitude the whole time. I was livid when I left at him. And wouldn't you know, I get a call from Home Depot that my measurements came in while I was in the trailer. I was able to get my floors yesterday, and their measurements and amount of boxes was right on target with what I came up with.

But atlas, Big Daddy redeemed himself. He cleaned my van while I was out at the trailer. It is all purty inside now. I was surprised when I took it from him at Home Depot. I told him that cleaning my van made me feel all warm inside and he has payment due when we get the chance. So all in all, I ended up being a happy woman at the end of the night.

Wednesday, March 01, 2006 Men.....

UGH....Can Big Daddy every make a decision? I told him what I wanted to do today. He is not even suppose to be working today, but went in anyways because they messed up his schedule and scheduled him off today and not Friday for my procedure. I wanted to get my laminate floors today before they go off sale and need his truck to put it in. Told him...Let me know what will work for you, J.R. has ballet and I have work tonight.

"I can get off at 4 or 6."

Ok what what works for you then?

"Let me know."

Either works for me, what time? Well you decide while you are at work and let me know.

Lunch comes around and ask him, he replies. "You let me know."

I get mad and say fine I will take care of it.

He replies, "I am going back to work and clocking out and coming home.

God, all I want is for him to make a desicion. I am the one who ALWAYS makes the decisions. And then, when I make decisions and don't include him, he gets mad. Well, why should I? You end up saying it is up to me. You want me to involve you in decisions but when I do you still leave it up to me. Dang, start taking control of things. I am tried of holding the reins all the time.
