Just call me Mrs. Robinson



I have a little problem here friends. I mean how many times is the neighboorhood going to see my tata's??? The kids' I mean..

First Time: I was taking a shower, singing Fergalicious, having a good ole time...you know- one where you got to shower by yourself..and I look up and notice that there are about 7 heads outside my shower...I ONLY HAVE 3 KIDS..where did these extra heads come from??? stick my head out and there are the neighboorhood kids...deciding now is the EXACT time to ask me if they can have a popsicle...Lucky me my shower is beveled otherwise they would've seen more than they wanted to I Promise!!!!


What did I say?? YES, c'mon you know they had me between a rock and a hard place.

Second time: Last night I was getting ready for bed and looked up when 4 little boys from the neighborhood were looking in my window and said..no kidding "Hi Ms. Becky"..yep you got it they all got a look at the tata's..Probably was fine as I'm about as developed as a 13 year old girl. But anywho, these kids were out at 8:30 ON A SCHOOL NIGHT..So, when someone's mother come's to my door..I'll make sure to inform said woman that 8:30 on a school night is a bit late for the little boogers to be out and looking in my window is probably not cool either..

1 Down...1 To go..

Well, the semester is at an end..well at least it's the part of the semester that you have to turn in the 'big' paper or project.

I just turned in a 6 page philosophy paper...MY topic you ask??? Why retroactive birth control is moral and ethical...NO you don't believe me? Well..Ok it was how the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy is morally wrong.

Let me know what you think about it.

I have 1 more to go..it's a bit harder it's a psychology assesment paper for my Counseling Psychology class...I thought it would be easier because well it looked that way..but was I wayyyyyyyyyy wrong. I'm working on one section a night.(because well honestly that's about all I can handle.)

This semester's classes...
~~ Biological Basis of Behaviour.

and

~~ Contemporary Sexual Ethics...(yep I took this one because it said..s.e.x...how dirrrrrrttttttyyyyy)

Anywho...off to threaten the kids to clean up something..

What Have I done to Piss off the Universe??

I SERIOUSLY would LOVE LOVE LOVE to know..

And what makes a really big mess that you are STILL cleaning 5 days later??? Dropping a 5 lb. bag of flour in the kitchen that's what...

NO, there are no pictures..

Yes, I'm sure it'll be funny later..it's actually kinda funny now..when I open something and there is flour in it.

So, seriously

Anyone want a preteen??? C.H.E.A.P??? REALLY REALLY CHEAP

NO, how about I PAY YOU to take her??

How much ?? Um, how much do you want?

The question is does it get better or should I just give up now...ground her to the closet until she's 18 and allow her out then to see if I like her??

Tales of a Teenage Drama Queen.




Gotta love em when they are teenagers, I tell you...Ok sometimes not..but we are supposed too..

I have the ORIGINAL drama queen my friends...12 years old and a drama queen..so much so today she accused me of *child abuse*..Yes I am an Abuser...at least if an abuser does such things like:

~~ expect her to do her chores..and the *gasp* first time I ask

~~ expect her to do her homework.

~~ expect her not to talk back...

~~ expect no lying and stealing.

~~ expect well nothing else..gosh she's right I am sooooo mean..probably deserve that mean mother award...Toni you can sent that over anytime you want.

So, what may you ask preceded this *child abuse* charge. Well...she actually went to school and cried and told the teachers I slap her and pull her hair...

BUT WAIT she told two different teachers two entirely different stories. OH yes...HELLO rule number one..stick to one story....

Anyhow there I was called and told I had to go to family advocacy..(again...) and I called family advocacy and told them straight up.."If I couldn't discipline my daughter and she could throw around any old accusation then I was packing her shit and bringing her to them..." Yes I DID..

Did I make her pack her bag: Your damn tootin I did...this is a power struggle if SHE thinks she is going to win..she is sadly mistaken..

What happened at family advocacy you ask??? Well, he (the counselor) got that she was a drama queen and basically said I had to not help her with her drama..blah, blah, blah..and that he felt she was a difficult child...I wanted to say "you think????"

Then he brought both of us together and basically told her I was the mother and she was the child...PERIOD.FINITO.END OF SENTENCE and she needed to listen to what I said and do what I told her too.

VINDICATION is so sweet my bloggy friends...

Confession time here: I soooo want to pull her hair and slap her so she knows what it feels like though..but instead I'll go take a HOT bath and eat a candy bar.

I KNEW

I knew it was going to be a B.A.D. day from the time I woke up (was woken up rather rudely--I'll have you know) by Lizzie who turned on my light at 5 (flippin) thirty this morning with a "mommy you've slept enough"...I said No my dear I haven't come watch TV in mommy's room...

From there it went something like this:

~~Wake up and realize wow my back hurts, my throat hurts, my ears are ringing..Oh SHIT I think I'm getting sick..I don't have time to get sick...grab two aspirin and pretend I feel fine...

~~Go to the post office to send a box to Steven and OF COURSE they were out of boxes, tape,etc..so I had to go get said items..


~~Go get said items and my total at checkout was $6.66 (no kidding..) now I'm not superstitious but HELLO even I'm not going to mess with that one..quick grab another candy bar (like I needed another candy bar)

~~OH yeah and my house looks like *ASS right now..I need to clean and I don't feel good...OH AND NO CHOCOLATE IN THE DAMN HOUSE...

Spotlight Sunday

In my Spotlight for today is Kristin of Motherhood Uncensored
. She probably doesn't need me to spotlight her as she's one of the 'biggies' in the blogging world. She's an Air Force Spouse living with her in-laws (oh girl I do not envy you) and has two young kids. She talks about everything on her blog and I do mean EVERYTHING..

Go check her out.

To Make or Not to Make that is the Question?



Another post about Katherine..anyone seeing a pattern here???

See she is in Civil Air Patrol and doesn't really want to do it anymore...I'm not actually sure she wanted to do it in the first place...I think her father did and she wanted to make daddy happy.

I asked her her reasons for not wanting to do it and they were:

1) Daddy's not here..no sense in it.

2) I can't have pink hair...(oh yeah that was a selling point for me)

3) But MOMMMMMMMM.....

So, here the question became...

Is it because there really aren't any girls in it...it's all boys..

Do you not want to do it because you...gasp....have to run and be active?

Do you not want to do it because you have to study for tests....(and we ALL know school isn't her strong suit)

Do you not want to do it because you'd rather laze around the house???

Now, we know me I'm all about not taking her...I don't have to go to the place (about 30 minutes away) and stay there for 2 1/2 hours finding something for the younger ones to do while waiting on her. Heck, I'd rather stay home and clean watch TV also....but she did promise her father a year..and it hasn't been that..

Oh what to do ....what to do.....

The Curse



You know the one I'm talking about...The one every mother gives to their offspring when we are being exceptionally bad...

'I hope you have one just like you'

See, I knew my mother was a witch for a long time..it wasn't just the evil eye, the seeing what I was doing around corners, the way she was able to look at me when I came in and know I had been up to something. It was her ability to turn her head around three times and puke green (oh wait that may have been the excorcist...anyways...)

Her curse has come true..according to her at least..

She says Kat gets her mouth and attitude from me..I don't remember being this mouthy when I was younger..I'm sure IF I had I would've been knocked into next week -- or my teeth would've been knocked out of my head.

She says I didn't like to clean either..but I did..oh did I...again..If I was as lazy as her I would've been knocked clear into next week..(do we see a pattern emerging here?) Heck I don't like to clean now but it's not like I ask her to do much..a little cleaning every day..goes a long way..

As for Lizzie and Connor..if that was anyone's curse it was Steven's...I was NEVER that bad..I'm telling you...

Anyhow...how's that curse working out for you?

Monday, May 14, 2007

Monday Monday

Oh did I mention it was monday yet???

Let's see where were we??? Oh yep Monday.

The weekend was ok here...went to a kids party at 'happyland' on Sat...kids enjoyed it. Mom was unconditionally bored.

Sunday went to church..It was a nice service.

Boy am I B.O.R.I.N.G. seriously

Well, that's a toothbrush down the drain..Connor seems to think my toothbrush is the ideal thing to brush his feet, toes, chest and ummmm male parts..lucky me...

Tell me a story....something..

Forgive Me

Forgive me my bloggy friends for I have sinned:

I haven't been on here lately because I've been having a pity party for one. You see my friends..Steven has left for FOUR freaking months to the sandbox..and left me with the devil's spawn.

They are already starting awful--I mean it can only get better from here on right??? First thing yesterday I asked Lizzie to pick up her toys and put them away and gave her 30 minutes...Did she do it?? OF course not silly's..So, I took them down to the basement and told her I threw them away. (I'll give em back in about two weeks or so.) And Katherine OMG. I asked her to help me by picking up the living room floor so I can start on the 'daddy's gone..let's clean up the house REALLY good while he's not going through my trash bag..insisting he NEEDS this stuff cleaning' and it took her OVER an hour to pick up a small stretch of floor..ughhhh

Then S got to come home for the night and we went to a last dinner with friends and left the kids here..and they went W.I.L.D. No kiddding..Kat was throwing cans of coke off of my balcony because she was "bored" ughhhhh...Grounded already?? I hope that this is their acting up and they'll get better or???

Ok back to pity party..table for one please.

Sunday, May 06, 2007

In the Spotlight today is my very own sister...Jennifer


Jennifer is well my sister...She's a mother of two...(and yes Jennifer we CAN trade Ari for Katherine. I'll take Kat back when she's ohhh 18 and if I like her she can stay.) Jennifer is going back to school, umm dealing with the devil..(I mean my mother). And doesn't blog nearly as much as she should..

Go visit her and say HI..from me.

I.M.M.A.T.U.R.E

So, at what age did your kiddos start babysitting?

Katherine SHOULD be able to babysit now..She's 12 and has taken the Red Cross (required) babysitting course. But, she can't--we have a hard time trusting her to watch herself ...no less her sister and brother (referred to from here on as the demon spawn).

I remember when I was her age I was babysitting like a mofo...all the neighborhood kids. For HOURS UPON HOURS UPON HOURS...I had quite the business. All kinds of money to spend..well, you know the drill

Katherine on the other hand cannot be trusted. She blames it on the demon spawn. I blame it on her immaturity and unability (is that a word??) to keep her nose out of a book or her eyes off the television set for more than oh say 20 seconds and therefore, the demon spawn tend to do things like get into the sugar and throw it ALL OVER THE FLIPPIN KITCHEN, take out EVERY toy they have into the livingroom, TAKE out all the movies out of my cabinets. Well, you get the idea.

She wants me to trust her to watch the demon spawn (I told you I was referring to them as that the rest of the post...don't judge) and be PAID...(Do I seriously have to pay my own child...you know the one I feed, clothe, etc. to do this???) hahatrust?? I'm pretty sure I would come back to Katherine tied (or duct taped) to one of the chairs and the spawn standing over her with a sword.

Tell me oh great internet friends....what to do oh what to do????

Stress...

Ok admit it we are all stressed at times. Me more than others since I live with "they who can destroy the house in 30 seconds flat..."...(seriously they can). Add that to the fact I have become 'she who does not know how to say NO to people' and I have a PROBLEM. At least one of my stress factors is gone (bye bye Stats class..) I only have 362 others to take it's place...I ran across this on the internet (or email..who know) the other day and thought hmmm good advice.


The Ten Commandments to a Stress free Life.
1. You shall not be perfect, or even try to be. ~~ Got that one down to a tee..

2. You shall not try to be all things to all people.

3. You shall sometimes leave things undone. ~~Yes and then inevitably some idiot will show up at the house and boom you're a 'dirty person'

4. You shall not spread yourself too thin.

5. You shall learn to say “no”.

6. You shall schedule time for yourself. ~~Yep I'll work on that one...oh but wait in scheduling time for yourself remember babysitting is $5/hr per kid.

7. You shall switch yourself off, and do nothing regularly. ~~ no problemo

8. You shall not even feel guilty for doing nothing, or saying no. ~~even when people give you the 'sad' face.

9. You shall be boring, untidy, inelegant, and unattractive at times. ~~oh yeah I have that one down...seriously if I don't have to get dressed..well you can see where this is going.

10. You shall not be your own worst enemy. But, be your own best friend. ~~Well I have to since I don't have a 'best' friend..shoot sometimes I feel I don't have friends at all

Spotlight Sunday


Well since I'm finished with the class the devil invented....(Statistics). I figured I LOVED this idea from a bloggy and IRL friend of mine..so here it is ..my first one..(oh yeah and I S.T.O.L.E her graphic...hope the bloggy police don't come after me..



In the Spotlight Today will be the creator of this and my IRL friend Toni of Special K Family. Toni is a military wife and mother of two boys who has a hilarious outlook on life (as well as a propensity for a huge grudge...ok ok I do too but hey...). If there is but one blog I'm going to have the time to read it's going to be her. She is married to my old roomate (who probably STILL hates me..:D...J/K right?? No, feed my ego here..). Toni and I met at a bar and lived together for about 6-7 months I think (maybe longer who knows??) and I think we both helped each other through some crappy times in our lives. She is as hilarious IRL as in her blog and I recommend her blog to anyone needing a chuckle.

~~ So I also recommend stealing her idea for Spotlight Sunday's...Just post in the comments that you came from me, also if you do a Spotlight Sunday let me know and I'll go read..:D

There are 244 days till Christmas 2007!
There are 257 days till Orthodox Christmas!

The moon's phase on the day you were
born was waxing crescent.

and here's info on my name...

You entered: Rebecca Michelle Forston
There are 22 letters in your name.
Those 22 letters total to 103
There are 8 vowels and 14 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:Hebrew Female Variant of Rebekah: Captivating; knotted cord.


Your number is: 4

The characteristics of #4 are: A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.

The expression or destiny for #4:
Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.

The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.

If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided. Finally, like nearly all with 4 Expression, you must keep your eye on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in detail and routine.

Your Soul Urge number is: 6

A Soul Urge number of 6 means:
With a number 6 Soul Urge, you would like to be appreciated for your ability to handle responsibility. Your home and family are likely to be a strong focus for you, perhaps the strongest focus of your life. Friendship, love, and affection are high on your list of priorities for a happy life. You have a lot of diplomatic tendencies in your makeup, as you a able to rectify and balance situations with an innate skill. You like working with people rather than by yourself. It is extremely important for you to have harmony in your environment at all times.

The positive side of the 6 Soul Urge produces a huge capacity for responsibility; you are always there and ready to assume more than your share of the load. If you possess positive 6 Soul Urges and express them, you are known for your generosity, understanding and deep sympathetic attitude. Strong 6 energy is very giving of love, affection, and emotional support. You may have the inclination to teach or serve your community in other idealistic ways. You have natural abilities to help people. You are also likely to have artistic and creative leanings.

If you have an over-supply of 6 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative traits common to this number. With such a strong sympathetic attitude, it is easy to become too emotional. Sometimes the desires to render help can be over done, and it can become interfering and an attitude that is too protective, rather than helpful. The person with too much 6 energy often finds that people tend to take advantage of this very giving spirit. You may tend to repress your own needs so that you can cater to the demands from others. At times, there may be a tendency in this, for becoming over-loaded with such demands, and as a result become resentful.

Your Inner Dream number is: 7

An Inner Dream number of 7 means:
You dream of having the opportunity to read, study, and shut yourself off from worldly distractions. You can see yourself as a teacher, mystic, or ecclesiastic, spending your life in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.

All Done

Well, I've been vindicated. The complaint against me was found unfounded and it is O.V.E.R. Whew that's a load off of my shoulders. However Toni in light of recent developments I do believe I've overtaken you in the running for Worst Mommy of the Year. Thanks to all of my supporters.

Today I decided to get my blog pimped. I've emailed splat designs to do it. I like her designs. So I'll have a surprise for y'all later. Maybe one day I'll learn to do my own self..(quit laughing now...I mean it!!!!)

Here's a funny for Thursday for y'all...

Me and Lizzie were riding a motorcycle game..(kinda looks like a real motorcycle)

Lizzie: Mommy, you are hurting my penis

Me: Lizzie you don't have a penis..and don't say that word (while looking around to make sure noone heard)

Lizzie: Yes I do it's just not pointy.

Me: Well, ummmm...ummmm.....ok

Update




So, here's the update on the current situation. Yes Steven's commander came over and YES that's B.A.D!! but the claims made against us were UNFOUNDED!!! Apparently someone...I'm thinking someone with an agenda....called and said there was puppy poop on the floor (ummm NO), diapers on the floor (again..NO), the puppy had peed on the couch (Now the kids spill alot of crap on the couch but the puppy has NEVER peed on my couch..she's be puppy stew if she did!!!) and my house smelled..(again NO and my neighbors even said...ummm NO..). The Commander came over looked at our house and said.."it was cluttered and I was doing laundry" of course it was cluttered...I have 3 kids and am busy.

They made us go to family advocacy and talk to a social worker..who was the one saying unfounded..and she wants me to take Stress Management classes...(REALLY??? ME STRESSED...don't know where she would get that one.)

Anywho I will be in LONDON this week so no commenting on your blogs..but I miss you and will think of you when I get back :D

Toodles for now

DONE

Remember this well it's happened again except this time my "neighbor" you know the one who rides a broom to work...called us in because she apparently hates animals and my house "smells"..well Steven's commander came over today and my laundry was in the hall --(I don't have a laundry room) and the floors weren't mopped and well my house was lived in so it was judgement day and I was judged and found lacking.

I'm Done!!!! with everything--seriously..I don't know what I'm going to do--I just don't want to be here or anywhere anymore...DONE!!

5 Question Meme...

Since I'm Toni's 'Spotlight Sunday'(good idear...) person. I figured I'd go ahead and do her 5 Question Meme and then go back to bed because well sunday is my day for sleeping in and all...

1) When did you know, 100%, that hubby was the person to marry?


Hmmm it had to be after the HUGE.BIG ole fight we had where I had to remind him that we WERE NOT dating and frolicking naked in a hot tub with a bunch of people was perfectly acceptable...no that was when I got pissed off and decided to date him...Then it was when he came to Charleston to visit and him and Kat took to each other like 'two peas in a pod' so to speak..

2.) What big project/achievement are you hoping to accomplish in the next year?

I'm hoping to finish school ...I think I can finish it by the end of the year if I work hard it at...(or I hope to not get caught pushing my neighbor down the stairs...one of those two...)

3.) If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you be and what would you do?

Honestly I want to be Angelina Jolie. I really respect her work and what she does for the world at large..Plus she gets eye candy--(oh sweet sweet Brad)

4.) If you could have any job/career in the whole wide world, what would it be?

I kinda like my job now but c'mon who doesn't want to be an ice cream tester????


5.) If you could go back to high school, with all the knowledge and life lessons you have now, would you do it?

HECK NO those people in my high school were MEAN..maybe that was me?? no them....no me??? no them.....hmmmmmmm


If you want to participate in this meme let me know and I'll get you your five questions too..

Bring It ON Murphy!!!

You know how you can plan and plan and plan (oh did I mention plan yet?) and no matter what your plans are SOMETHING always goes wrong...(umm Murphy's Law...Yes I K.N.O.W.) Well this spring break I PLAN to outwit Murphy...that's right..little ole me is going to outwit Murphy. I R.E.F.U.S.E. to actually finalize a plan. Here's what it sounds like at my house:

Well, if daddy's passport comes in (it did come it but it was wrong so HE sent it back..wait for it people....because it said he was from Ohio and not Oklahoma...(big sighs and eye rolls from me...) we'll go to London for a few days...

But if his passport doesnt' come in we'll just go to Paris.

And if Paris doesn't work out..well we'll just hop on up to Amsterdam and let mommy go to one of those cafe's ok??? (Don't hate because you can't go...)

That's right Murphy..there'll be no CRAPPING on my plans this year so TAKE THAT!!!

Thursday, March 22, 2007

Time Out

I need a Mommy Time out my friends..otherwise I'm going to have at least 1--at most 3 less kids today.

It's been one of those days...Snowing, nasty, cold..(I thought someone said it was spring....LIAR) and the kids have been well the usual..Screaming, Hateful, Little, BRATS. ALL of them.

And to top that off I went and got my books for next semester and ...hold your breath...

Idiosyncra Idiosinc Stuff People think is weird about me.

Everyone has little 'things' about them. Apparently mine came to light a few times this week.

#1- I don't like the toilet paper to be rolled under on the roll..It rolls over people...AND I will change it when I come to your house so it's right!!!!

#2- There is O.N.L.Y ONE and I do stress ONE way to load the dishwasher...Please do it that way. I was at Bunco the other night and it was held at a lady from our squadron's--I guessed it was bad when I was helping her clean up and I UNLOADED her dishwasher only to reload it the 'right' way.

#3- It's R.U.D.E. to let your alarm go off 5 times in a morning!! RUDE I tell you..Steven is going to have to move bedrooms if he doesn't start getting his ASS out of bed and letting me Sleep!! I hope to goodness he likes to sleep with Connor!

Umm I can't think of anything else....seriously...I'm sure some of you can though..

Blah Blah Blah

Yep that's my day I'm in a M.O.O.D.

i stole this from The Peanut Queen Liked it and took it..bad me..




It says I'm an Easy Rider--Always take life how it comes, and living in the moment. They don't get fazed by life they just breeze through.

an Escape Artist They are forever slipping off, getting away from the rat race and recharging those batteries. Independent and thoughtful, they know themselves well.

a New Wave Puritan They are strict, organized and ever so neat - they practice the art of self discipline. They like things done simply but with an eye for detail.

and touchy feely Love for them is about human contact -- The nitty gritty. They are very physical--a high sex drive demands plenty of attention.

Lizie: Mom, Katherine needs to be grounded because of blah..blah...blah...

Me: Umm...OK

Lizzie: (at top of her lungs) KATHERINE YOU ARE GROUNDED.

Katherine: Mom, Lizzie grounded me..

Me: What did you do?

Katherine: Nothing.

Lizzie then recites usually a list of punishable offenses

Me: Ok come talk to me later..I've got a headache.

Our First Stitches




Well, It's O.F.F.I.C.I.A.L....he's a boy!!! We got our first (of many I am assured) set of stitches Friday night. Nice Huh??? He was jumping on the couch...first of all I said JUMPING.ON.THE.FLIPPIN.COUCH. and hit a piece of metal that I had put on the couch to keep him from using it as a weapon against his sister

~~aside here~~ he loves to hear his sisters scream any which way he can..he found a metal bar that goes in the closet and likes to chase them around to hear them yell...I can put it up..he'll find it...BRAT~~aside over~~

Anywho...he hit the metal bar and GASHED his toe..may I add...ONE bite into dinner...off to the ER...he was GREAT at the ER..hardly any crying..until they put lidocaine into the cut to numb it...then he wanted to fight us (and the 2 med techs) until he got up and he could see them stitching...

Steven says on the way home (he almost cried by the way--Steven that is NOT Connor)..."He's such a little man, a trooper, I was afraid his sisters were going to take his 'man gene's' away from him..I'm glad to see they didn't.." followed by a little snorting and coughing from me...

Next Post...our new addition to the family...... ;)

Rubber Ducky





Last night I went to 'Love Bunco' and we of course give gifts at the end..So, since it was a 'Love' themed Bunco we gave Love themed gifts...mine was a Rubber Ducky..exactly like the one above. Woohoo...I think my new theme song may be:

Rubber Ducky, you're the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you;

Woo woo be doo

Rubber Ducky, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true!

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo

Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby

Rub-a-dub-a-dubby!

Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby

Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of -
Rubber ducky, I'd like a whole pond of -
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you!

Doo doo, be doo

You too can get your own Rubber Ducky at amazon.com I've thoughtfully put the link in so you can just click and order...Now if I knew how to add music--hold on see if this works..

Borrow?

So, anyone out there have a maid I can borrow for the day????

I have a Spice It Up party tommorrow..(Go on take a look there's some deliciously naughty stuff in there) ;)...and I CAN.NOT for the life of me get this damn house clean...I clean---they mess up..clean--mess...clean---mess..well you get the idea. I have about 10-15 or so people coming over and it's never going to get clean. It would help if certain people and I agreed on what clean was.

Tonight I'm going to play 'Love Bunco' LOL..it's naughty week here apparently. I won't tell you what's going to happen afterword but ho hum...:D..

A-B-C's of Homemaking

Toni tagged me for this, Thanks..I've gotta clean to get ready for a party on Friday night and she had to remind me..ughhhh

Aprons- Y/N? - umm no

Baking- only when I'm in the mood...so I guess no

Clothesline- Y/N? nope I live in 'apartment style housing' no clotheslines..and even IF I had one I'd be too lazy..

Donuts- Ever made them? no but there is a woman in a cart who makes the best ones..I COULD give them to the kids and tell them I made them huh???

Everyday- One homemaking thing you do everyday? laundry and it still never is all the way done.

Confession...

I have a confession to make...I.AM.NOT.ONE.OF.THE.'COOL'.KIDS. I NEVER have been. I try so hard to be friends with people only to see other people--and here's another BIG confession for ya--people I don't feel are worthy make friends. Who am I to judge these other people though??? I guess my big problem is I try too hard. If you are my friend I will move heaven and earth for ya and expect nothing very little from you in return..Maybe just a call every once in a while--someone to laugh with and hang out with..I don't know something.

I'm beginning to think it's ME. S told me the other day I always HAD to have someone at every base I dislike and am fighting with, and then I'm like a RABID DOG..I want to make their life hell..I just can't let it go. I strive to see them fail--and when they don't (which they never do) I just keep watching..like it's a trainwreck.

I'm thinking of pulling myself out of all the little "social" groups I do here--OCSC (Officers Civilian's Spouses Club), Squadron Wive's Club, and well anything..because I just cannot deal with HER...Every time I see her I want to smack her face. This can't be healthy for me. I need to learn to FORGIVE and FORGET but it's so hard when every-flippin-time you turn around she's there. It doesn't help the ONE good friend (or I thought she was my friend) I have here has decided to be her friend and doing alot of things with her--and because me and her don't get along--I don't get invited or well they try to hide it from me.

Tell me I'm not just crazy...that you've had someone you've felt like this about before..even if it was me Toni ;)...

Love Week...





It's Valentine's Week so I'm naming it LOVE WEEK here at Mom's..

"Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone--we find it with another." -- Thomas Merton


Today: Do you believe in Destiny???

The dictionary defines destiny as:

des·ti·ny /ˈdÉ›stÉ™ni/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[des-tuh-nee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural -nies.
1. something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing; lot or fortune.
2. the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events.
3. the power or agency that determines the course of events.
4. (initial capital letter) this power personified or represented as a goddess.
5. the Destinies, the Fates.


The second definition is what I'm talking about today...Is my life predetermined?? If I had chose A instead of B would I still be in the exact same position???

I'm kinda on the fence about it..I believe I still would've married Sheldon and then Steven...Kat, Liz and Connor were predestined to be my children. (Lucky them I know). BUT here's where I differ. I believe that you have choices with your life that everything isn't predetermined..Otherwise where would free will come in???

I find it hard to believe that some of the things I've gone through and put up with in my life were predetermined for ANYONE. What about things like Cancer and Aids??? Were these predetermined for someone to get or (in the case of Aids) was it YOUR choices that you used YOUR own free will to make that caused you to get the disease.

What do you think was your life predetermined???

Tuesday, February 06, 2007

2nd Post of the Day--don't fall over...

Kat's grades this quarter/semester:

Beginning Band...C Overall: C

Integrated Science: F Overall: D

Language Arts: B- Overall: B+

Mathematics: C+ Overall: B-

Physical Ed: B- Overall: B

Social Studies: D Overall: C



someone's not doing homework or turning it in...So NOT my favorite child right now...So, how do I punish her??

A. She wants to have a birthday party--take it away?? BUT she hasn't had a birthday party in 4 years...

B. Kill her?? I think that's illegal...so it's out

C. Beat her into submission? again I believe illegal..also out.

D. Take away ALL priveledges?? She has none...I think I'm going to ground her from TV on the week days, and well anything that sounds fun...

However, I'm still on the fence on the birthday party....I really want her to have one because she's getting at that age where she wants a "social" life...BUT I don't want to reward her for her grades or recent behaviour. GAW...someone help...Calgon take me AWAY!!

New Questions from 100!!

2. If you could do 1 thing in the world before you die, what would it be?

Only one thing huh??? Let's see I think what I'd really like to do is to travel the world on a cruise ship...sipping pina coladas, and margaritas by the pool ..not having to cook...

3. Which one of your kids is your favorite child, and why?

Boy that's a hard one..Honestly it's whatever one is listening--and not making a big ole mess for me to clean--or hey helping me pick up their mess...(Wait that might just be a wish...)

4. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Well, saying I HAVE to grow up...I want to be Tinkerbell...ok no really I want to be a psychologist..I just love to get into people's head's..they are SOOO interesting.

5. If you had $100K, and could do anything you wanted, name the top five things you'd buy/do. In order


Becky's Top 5...

1. Pay off bills.
2. Buy a new car.
3. Put some in the kids college funds.
4. Go on a nice lil ole vacation.
5. Just FUN shopping..you know the kind where you just go and pick out whatever your lil ole heart desires...

Becky's Cooking Tips #1




When trying to make Fried Chicken--MAKE SURE...the grease isn't too hot..otherwise you'll burn said fried chicken and smoke everyone out of the house building. Plus it's not fun when the firemen are laughing at you on the phone.

Better to just go get a bucket of KFC and said you made it..MUCH easier on everyone!!!

~~I'm just saying~~~

Happy Birthday Baby!




HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT~~You are 12 years old today. It's been a great 12 years too..well, other than the attitude that has spawned from you lately.

I still remember the day I brought you home..all purple and wrinkly. Aunt Mandy invited EVERYONE in the whole flippin neighborhood to come in and see you and Your Daddy Sheldon and I changed you into every outfit we had for you and took pictures--only to go to Wal-Mart and get them developed THAT minute.

As you grow older you only get more beautiful every day. Here's to another great year. Could we possibly do it with less attitude though??

Love,

Mom.

I.HATE.SICK.PEOPLE

Seriously H.A.T.E. them.

~~First of all--sick people have a sick smell to them~~and no it isn't all in my head..my hubs can now smell them too.

~~Second--Can they ever cover their mouths when they cough??? Oh yeah because they aren't miserable enough themselves...everyone has to be miserable with them.

~~Third--WHY OH WHY do ALL--EVERY.FRICKIN.ONE of my kids have to have a cold at the same time...cough cough hack hack that's all I flippin hear in this house.

Crud.

Crud

This has got to be the stupidest game known to man. Seriously. And I SUCK at it...seriously. So, why am I on the women's crud team for my squadron??? OH wait I know I MUST be asking for punishment.

It does have some funny terms though..such as Lips--the lips of your nether regions must not go past a certain point when you shoot...(If your a guy they call it balls)

buffoonary--when you throw the ball so hard it goes off the table..I just like saying "YOU BUFFOON".

recieve--well you can imagine the conotations to that one..as in "I would like to recieve"..."Yes, I bet you would"...

The kids actually like playing the game of crud too..go figure..heck all you have to do is shoot the ball ( with your hands) and body check block other players from shooting.

Hey Toni...thanks for missing me. :D

I'll post some pics of Kat's winter semi-formal tommorrow after I upload them to the computer!!

~~Ciao

AHH Cinderelly....

What did I do?

So, I have this friend..or actually probably should say HAD....who has decided that she and her husband no longer want anything to do with me and my family...I have no clue what we did as she won't tell us..just likes to ignore us..I guess.

You know, I hate when people are like that....you do, do, do for them and they decide to dump you..OMG...I just realized I'VE.BEEN.DUMPED!!!

Anywho, back to my rant..I H.A.T.E. when you do, do, do for people and they just dump you and don't give you a reason...Maybe they're "just not into me"


Has this ever happened to you?? Did you have a friend dump you and not tell you??? Anything--other than tequila--that'll make me feel better?? Revenge ideas are highly encouraged ;)

Our Family Christmas Letter

Tis the night before Christmas,
and we just wanted to say,
we love you and miss you,
and we hope you have a great Christmas day!


Merry Christmas!!!! I hope everyone’s year and especially this holiday season has been the greatest!!! The Family is over here in Europe enjoying ourselves. We are getting to experience lots of wonderful things and meet wonderful people.

We got here in January to a snow covered ground..oh so beautiful!!!! It was interesting considering we’d been in such a WARM state beforehand. Katherine went straight to school here but they put the 5th graders in the Middle School—so it was quite an adjustment for her. She took a bit but she did OK…In February we took a trip to Paris…but not to see the Eiffel Tower—I had my priorities straight, we went to Euro Disney!!!!! A good time was had by all of us. In March, we attuned the FASHING Parade in Luxemburg. Imagine a G rated Madre Gras, with a 5 hour long parade. The kids received stuffed animals, and enough candy to fill over 5 shopping bags. Over the rest of the year, we traveled around our local area and saw some sites and things. Steven and Katherine are looking forward to going to Bastogne, Belgium, the site of the famous "Battle of the Bulge" for the 65th reenactment later this month. It promises to be very entertaining.

DH and I are currently looking for a small house off base to move into. We enjoy living on the AF Base, but some how, you just don't really experience Europe on base. It’s a long process, but once we find one, we should be able to move in and get our house in order in a matter of weeks. This will allow us a better guest room, and there fore, we will be ready for anyone who wishes to stop by in a few months.

Well on to how everyone is—

DH is well—he made 1st Lt in August of this year—it was a NICE raise. However, he would still like to know where his money goes. If anyone has any idea please email him and let him know (and the first person who suggests it was me is off my list!!! :D ) . He attended LRO (Logistics Readiness Officer) school this summer in San Antonio. He got to sleep in AC while we sweated to the oldies here in Germany, I think it was the hottest summer possible and they don’t have AC in the houses here. Otherwise—he’s been doing great in his job. He served as a Flight Commander for several weeks after his return, leading over 65 personnel. They currently have him working in the Unit Deployment Center, where he works to ensure all 400 people in his squadron are ready for war at all times. He was honored by the Fighter Wing (base) as one of only two Unit Ground Safety Managers for the year, and we are expecting to hear back from United States Air Forces in Europe to see if he wins at that level. He was also named as the Company Grade Officer of the Quarter for October – December. This makes him #1 of over 12 other officers, so at least I know why he's always at work. Steven is also looking at being deployed this summer, although the location hasn't really been decided, we expect him to be gone from about April - August. Please keep him in your prayers during that time.

Me, well—same ole, same ole…I started school with the University of Maryland this year. Hopefully before we leave here I’ll get my Bachelor’s degree…This time I’m going for Psychology. Other than that I am an active member of the PTSA, working the school dances and I am also an active member of the OCSC (Officers’ and Civilians’ Spouses’ Club). I currently create the newsletter every month and have lots of fun. (I think?) Between these two activities and the children, I seem to have a lot on my plate, and there are many days when DH and I may simply pass each other on our ways in/out the front door.

Daughter #1 is now in 6th grade. She is in the Band and joined CAP (Civil Air Patrol) this year. Her days and nights are getting fuller. She’s doing decent in school…nothing to write home about. She’s working through some personal problems right now—but it will turn out OK. She got certified to be a babysitter with the Red Cross earlier this year and has been babysitting for her brother and sister. She is going to need braces this next year, but the AF doesn’t think she is quite ready yet (lucky girl).

Daughter #2 is well, her same old self…good and spoiled, whiny and just plain ole funny sometimes. She honestly is the other little mother around here…If I don’t know what’s going on with the other two.. usually she does. Her theme song for this year should be “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” as well—she lost those earlier.
She is truly a daddy’s girl though.

And finally our son—he is a BOY all the way through and through. I don’t think I EVER had to work this hard with the girls…Into everything, doesn’t want to wear a diaper (cause god knows everyone needs to see that thing), and think he own’s the remote and TV..he let’s us know when we are watching something he doesn’t want to see. He loves to fight with #2 and it’s Toddler Wrestling Time about 50% of the time in this house. He’s getting big though and I expect him to outweigh and be taller than her in a year.

Well, that’s our family in a nutshell…Hope you and yours are wonderful and we will be thinking of you.

Love

Our family

HEY TED!!!

Yes you!!! I'm talking to you.....A little birdie told me you were giving away HP camera's...seriously..how cool is that???

So, all I have to do is tell you why I need one???

Well, my friend, let me tell you a story about a woman named Becky and her kids..bad, badder and baddest. Becky used to have a camera...(may I add it wasn't as nice as a HP however)...and she loved her camera, Especially since she lives in Europe and goes neat places like EuroDisney. Anywho back to my story, one day Becky went off to do something~~I'm just going to guess here that it was good~~ and left the three B's at home. Becky got back and noticed her digital camera wasn't working. She couldn't figure out why her pictures were coming out all black. So, she did what any self-respecting woman does and called her husband, BLAMED him for everything and told him to fix it. He looked at it, looked at her, and said..."umm honey, the little thingie isn't opening" (ok he didn't call it a little thingie, but I can't remember what the heck that thing is). Well, shoot says Becky there goes pics of Christmas and all...I guess we'll have to wait until the military pays us enough to buy a new one...(OK all you military wives out there can QUIT laughing now~~Becky will admit to drinking when stating that). So, my friend TED...please send me a HP camera pack...

Hey lookie what's here....

Woohoo

Wrapping night here at the mansion...my favorite time of the year...The conversation will go something like this..

S: Why did you buy this--they didn't need it..

B: DUH..it's Christmas

S: I don't care...seriously they have too many toys already.

B: Pass the wine bottle please so I can hit you upside of the head with it you cheap bastard..

(OK maybe that last one is just what I want to say--what I really say is uh-huh meaning..sure I'm listening...now keep wrapping)

Ok I'm out to wrap..wish me luck...in the morning if someone hasn't heard from me..I've probably been eaten by the mounds of wrapping paper.

Decision Time.


Have you ever taken Christmas away from your kids??? I'm about THIS close to taking it away from Katherine and giving her NOTHING this year. Her attitude SUCKS..she's failing school...she used dirty words the other day...(I know I know...)..and Lord forbid we ask her to do anything..she cries like a BABY!!!

It's down to decision time folks--do I or don't I???

Steven told me his dad didn't let him get santa one year (funnily enough it was in the 6th grade) and he didn't get much from his family. BUT she knows about Santa, so not having Santa give her anything would do nothing for her...maybe will scare lizzie......but my belt does that too ;).

So, any suggestions folks?

No More Christmas Spirit

I think I'll just take down the tree and decorations..that's all..nothing more to say!

Friday, December 15, 2006

Back by POPULAR--or maybe not so popular--demand

Hey all...Steven says I haven't updated this in a while...hmmm well I have nothing else to do really (said with lots of sarcasm!!!

So, here's what's up...

I'm back in school--taking two classes now--two next quarter

Social Psychology and Libraries for dummies this semester

Computers for dummies and Statistics next...

I don't know if I have any for dummies classes left I can take..uh oh ;)

It's been BUSY here...christmas time is a pain with all the social stuff you have to do...ughhhhh

But I have missed you so I plan to try and update it more often (once a day)...LOL...and it shouldn't be hard since I just grounded Katherine to infinty and that means I'm grounded to...

Why did I ground Katherine???

OH WELL LET ME TELL YOU....

1) Attitude SUCKS!!!! seriously..doesn't want to do anything, help out anywhere and the mouth on that child..well let me tell you..I'm suprised she's still alive as if it had been me--my momma would've knocked my ass into next week...and I would've stayed there if I knew what was good for me.

2) GRADES Just got her half term report...ohhhhhhhhh let me tell you she is almost FLUNKING two classes because she doesn't want to do her homework. Now she gets NO TV during the week and to work on homework EVERY FLIPPIN DAY..oh and NO extra curricular activities either.

3) RESPONSIBILITY--or maybe lack of should be better...refuses it..ask her to feed/water/clean out cat box...she doesn't do it--LIZZIE does..yep the 4 year old takes better care. AND GOD FORBID I ask her to watch her brother/sister for me...she lets them TEAR UP my house...no responsibility =NO privledges/allowance.

So here I am grounded. sigh...oh well more time for you and homework my friends.
