When It Rains It Pours..

Noah came over with some animals today...

Why? Well it seems my house was under 3 inches of water and he thought it was the ark.

Seems my kids (or possibly one of the kids in the apt. above us) threw a washcloth, a diaper and a thing of makeup down the drain and it all backed up into MY house.

Lucky me...

I have sucked up no less than 12 buckets of water on my machine..plus the huge one housing maintenance sucked up with theirs..

My Tequila: Well, I was going to mop the floors anyhow..so I ran around and threw some Lysol on the floor when we were getting the water off...

Off to do more laundry now..since EVERY towel, sheet, and or piece of clothes I could find in the house is wet...

Ciao.

I <3 Pay Per Post!!!

I think we all know I <3 a lot of things... Pay Per Post is one of them. I've been a 'postie' for around six or so months.

Here's where you can go...just clickie...make money blogging

I found Pay Per Post on another Bloggers page (and No I don't remember who's) and decided heck I wanna make some money blogging and become one of the 'Cool' Kids. Pay Per Post is the greatest I've made approximately $30.00 so far and it goes straight to my paypal account...you know the one I reserve for my online shopping addiction.

I enjoy reading everyone's PPP posts because as we know I am ALWAYS looking for something new. PPP is a great way to get to know people..(HELLO COLLEEN YOU ARE MY IDOL) and learn new blogging techniques.

I recommend everyone sign up for Pay Per Post and try it out!!!

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.

Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day is here again. It is the day we choose to remember all those before us who have fought for us...To make us who we are, To make us how we are.

So, I'm going to make it short and sweet and take a minute to remember those who came before us who fought for us and those who are fighting for us now.

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...

CALGON TAKE ME AWAY

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.....
