Why are some women so catty?

I have somehow been dragged into a multi-forum cat fight. My name has not been mentioned but I'm almost positive I'm included with the "cronies". I just wish everyone would get a freakin life. How old are we again? 12? 13?

And I would like to know how I became a "cronie"? What exactly is a "cronie"? I think of old men playing chess in the park when I hear that word.

Oh, and then someone got their feelings hurt when they found out several people didn't like them, so they posted a link to the blog of said comments. How childish is that? "Oh, they don't like me, boo-hoo. Let me go over here and post a link so I can get more attention on me." But expressed in a sarcastic way to cover for their hurt feelings.

And then (D,WMC?), someone else says something snarky to Roni about her upcoming wedding. I asked if I read that wrong because it sounded very rude. She replied fishing for something. Ya know what, yes I know you know. So what?

Everyone denies there is a clique in a certain forum. That word has been deemed (did I spell that right H.?) a bad word. O.M.G. Again, how old are we? Yes there is a freakin clique. Its quite apparent in 2 certain threads.

But then I dare open my mouth and say something about this and I will become an outcast. I have better things to do with my time than worry about this crap.

Thank you and good night.

(tapping my arm)

I need my fix. Someone, anyone, please get the damn forums working!!

I must think of questions to ask fellow bloggers. I think of millions of them in day to day life...."I wonder this about Snap, or this about Pez." But when I finally get the chance to ask them something, anything, my mind is a blank. I really should carry a notebook with me so I can jot down thoughts as they come. I have thought about it....and then poof the thought is gone. My mind races. Sometimes I wonder why my head doesn't explode.

(singing)

I'm going to Roni's wedding, I'm going to Roni's wedding!! I can not wait. :D

Paul talked the bitch out of taking Trey out of band. YAY!

C/p-ed from Snapper's blog.....

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

Feeling a little better this morning. I don't feel like I will rip anyones head off for saying "Hi" to me.

Paul got an icy reception when he got home from work yesterday. He also forgot to pick up the twins Zrytec, but promised to get it later. It took him an hour to realize that I was in a piss poor mood. Then he started asking the boys why I was mad. Not me, the boys. Ofcourse they all blamed each other for me being pissed. After asking 5 times if I was mad at him (and he acted like I was too), he finally asked what was wrong and I just balled. I told him I was mad at everyone.....him, the boys, my friends, life in general and that I didn't want to talk about it because I wouldn't get any support from him about it. Sure enough, he tried to turn it all around to where the conversation was him. Him, him, him. After I pointed this out to him again, he apologized and asked what he could do to cheer me up. "Well dear, if you can shit out a million dollars that would be a start." So he asked what we needed from the store. I asked where he was getting the money from and he said he has his moms CC. He went to Walgreens and picked up the boys meds and stopped and got me some cigarettes and a Dr. Pepper. I do love this man :)

The bitch is taking Trey out of band because of his mouth. My gawd, he is about to turn 14. He is a teenager. He will have a mouth on him and a bad additude to go with it. Paul and I disagree with her. He should be able to stay for the rest of the school year and go to the competition in New Braunfels, but nooooooooooooo. We have no say on how she raises him.

Free scoop night at Baskin Robbins. We are going after "Smallville".

Have a good day y'all :D

O.M.G. I am watching Texas Justice right now and the woman on this show need to put some clothes on that fit!! She's about to fall out of her top.

I'm bored and feeling depressed. It has to be pms. I'm feeling isolated.
1) J and K haven't called in a while. I call them and they can't talk.
2) Someone from the forum is doing "clique-ish" things and I'm not included.
3) The forums aren't working very well and are annoying to go to.
4) Nevermind. I'm just feeling down.
5) Payday is coming up and we still won't have any extra money, which means this summer is going to be a bust. I won't even be able to come up with the money to get the pool passes.
6) I'm pretty damn tired of coming here to bitch about my life. Why can't I have a real life? What did I do so bad that I can't have a decent life. I'm so freakin tired of worrying about how to pay the bills or feed the boys. I'm so tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I'm so tired of me having to go without so that my family has what they need. Mothers Day is coming up and I won't be getting anything....again. Dylan has dental work coming up and thats going to cost a small fortune, so there goes my mom's day. I didn't get crap for Valentines day but I sure made sure Paul did.
7) And I'm pretty damn tired of the bitch calling here taking out her frustrations on Paul. Its not our fault she can't find a decent place to live because her rental history sux. It's not our fault she has 6 people living in a travel trailer in someones backyard. He pays her enough in child support a month to rent a very nice house (he pays out close to $1100 a month). She works. Her husband supposedly works. Where the fuck does her money go? (BTW, Paul gave her till the end of the month to find somewhere to live or he is calling CPS.) She won't let the boys live with us, even tho her "bible" (the divorce decree) says they can when they reach 12. Trey is about to turn 14 and wants to live with us but she won't let him. Wanna know why? Because I smoke pot once in a blue moon. She lives with a manic depressive, abusive man, but I'm a bad influence.

I'm done with my pity party for now :(

Happy Sunday :)

Not much to say. Haven't blogged much. I'm probably boring everyone. ;)

I got an email from Evil Amy the other day. She is fine, baby Brynne is fine.

I'm going to make beans with sausage and cornbread for dinner. I'm still trying to make this chocolate cake. Everytime I've tried this week I have been out of something. I think I have everything now. May need to make a little more coffee tho....I think Paul drank it all this morning. I need 1/2 a cup of cold coffee for the cake.

Thanks to me becoming AmazonFairy the other night, I now have a huge zit. Or it could be pms. Since I'm dying for chocolate also my guess is pms.

We watched "Cheaper by the Dozen" Friday night. That is a great movie!! I boo-hooed so bad. I kept using Dylan's shirt to wipe my tears, and yes he was still wearing it. We watched it again Saturday morning. I think we will watch "The Haunted Mansion" later.

Its been raining here since Friday night and Eddie, Dylan and I are suffering from it. Allergies. Dylan has a cough and hates to take cough medicine because "it's nasty".

Well I guess thats enough mindless drivel from the laundry room. TTFN :)

AmazonFairy's in the house.

Here I sit, with a green clay mask on my face. Hence the name AmazonFairy. Paul gave it to me. :)
If there are any typos, thats because I can't see very well without my glasses on. I don't wear them when I am AmazonFairy.
Paul is channel surfing. I think he has stopped on "Payback". As far as I can tell it is. Its blueish grey in color and it sounds like Mel Gibson.
I'm glad Alicia is gone on Survivor. Shi-ann.HAS.to.go.

I'm on dial-up right now. I hate it. Road Runner was disconnected. Thats what happens when you can't afford what they want you to pay. Gas cost too much these days. My kids are bottomless pits. One needs new clothes. I finally have new insurance cards for Chris and Eddie (with the correct last names), so starting next month Chris' dr.'s visits will cost about $20 a week or $40 a month depending on how often the new therapist wants to see him.

But its only temporary. Verizon said the should have DSL in my area by the 1st.

Saturday, April 17, 2004

Oh.My.Gawd. Which evil bastard invented Laser Tag? I have muscles I have not used in along time screaming in pain!

One of Chris' friends had his birthday party at Laser Tag today. I decided to hang around to make sure his behavior was in check. Birthday boy's mom asked if I was going to play too. After much thought I decided to give it a try. I have never played before. So we go get suited up. I have on my fancy vest with red flashey thingies on it. I have my phaser. I'm ready for action. Off we go.

After I run around being shot at, I decide to hide somewhere. So I hide. Where is everyone? Obviously not where I am. So I go run some more. I shoot some people, I get shot. Its all fun. I crouch, I hide, I dash. I'm doing pretty good. Chris' friends find me and shoot me. I crouch down to go up ramps that have kids shooting above me. I find a good hiding spot up on the second level. I have high and low places I can shoot from. More crouching. (Hey I'm tall and an easy target for little kids) More shooting. I get bored and run some more.

Finally I hear "Game Over". On my way out I find Chris. He had fun. His score is 415. Mine is 440.

Now I regret playing. My thighs are a hurtin'. I can barely walk. I practically crawled the stairs to get to the apartment. Oh the pain, the agony!!

Someone pass me the icy hot.

Wednesday, April 14, 2004

Remind me again why I have friends? If these are my friends I would hate to see my enemies.

World War 3 took place last night. Paul and I are cuddled on the couch watching "Grosse Point Blank" when the phone rings. Its K. "Why did you tell J. blah blah blah when I told you not too?" Me..."I didn't tell her anything, she came to me saying you told her." No hi, how are you, whatcha doing, just immediate jump my ass for something I didn't do. So I jumped her ass back for jumping my ass over petty high school bullshit. I'm sorry if she is having problems in her marriage, but I'll be damned if she is going to take it out on me!

So the next hour is phone call after phone call of her and J. and I argueing back and forth, or K. calling and apologizing to me for taking it out on me. Then I am so upset about all of it that I can't think straight.

And in the midst of all this, Paul is throwing a hissy fit because this is all ruining his nice romantic evening with me. So Paul and I get into it about how not everything in the world revolves around him. If he could get his head out of his ass he would see how upset I am about possibly loosing my 2 friends and come comfort me. But noooooo, he has to storm out of the room because he won't be getting any now.

And then K still calling me apologizing and asking if I will still watch T. after school. I told her I didn't know right now because not only am I trying to save my relationships with my 2 girlfriends, I now have to coddle my husband who still has his head up his ass.

More argueing.

Finally after an hour of silence, Paul apologizes. He finally "sees" what is happening. He finally got his head out of his ass.

This morning I call K. to let her know I will continue watching T after school. I get a phone call 30 minutes later from J. saying K. said I wasn't watching T. anymore. Thats it. I've had it. No more. E.N.O.U.G.H.

K. calls me and askes me to come down so we can talk. I don't want to but I do. I walk up her stairs and she is in tears begging me to accept her apology. I told her thats fine but I can not trust her and I would need some time to think. She understands. I asked her about what J. said, about me not watching T, and she said she misunderstood me when I called and glad that I will continue watching him for her and that she will start paying me to watch him. She said I am still welcome in her apartment anytime I want, she trusts me more than J., and I can still do my laundry there whenever I need to. (thats one of the "she said this, she said that" things that came up in arguing).

I trust J. I have known her longer and there was never any of this drama in our relationship until K. came into the picture.

Tuesday, April 13, 2004

Now I know why I only have 2 female friends IRL. Everytime K. calls me, "I'm leaving him. I've had it." My response, only said in my head ofcourse, "Do it already. I could care less about your problems right now."

I know, I am cold and uncaring. But I feel like she is taking advantage of me. I watch T. when he gets home from school for an hour and don't get paid for it. I'm the one she calls when she needs to borrow something or asks a favor.

Oh enough already......

So anyway. I have my hair in a ponytail!! Granted the tail is only 2 inches long and half of my hair is falling down. I haven't been able to pull my hair back in a year. I hate this inbetween stage of growing my hair out.

I made an orange pound cake yesterday that turned out terrible. It was so dry and flat. Aren't they suppose to be light and fluffy?

I called around for cheaper internet service this morning. My phone service said they won't have DSL till the 1st in my area for $29.95 a month. I was going to hook up with them but Paul wanted me to check with Road Runner and make sure we don't need to keep cable to keep RR. Sure enough we can still have RR without cable service and they will lower our price to match Verizons offer. So I am still on the net.

Now to start studying about doing my own web blog. I'm bored with how mine looks. I like Katies. (I would add a link, but thats another thing I need to learn....www.katiefleck.blogspot.com) I want to be able to add links and pictures.

Is anyone watching "The Swan"? I watched it last night. I want to be on this show. I want to have all the plastic surgery they will offer. I don't care to be in the pagent, I just want the new me.

Monday, April 12, 2004

Well K. is leaving her husband. I'll believe it when I see it. She wants to wait a month and get a car first.

If it where me who's husband came home at 7:45 this morning, his crap would be thrown out into the parking lot and he would have to find some place else to live.

Happy Easter y'all :)

Paul's at work. He's had to work all weekend. I don't mind. More money to pay the bills with.
Easter Bunny brought each of the twins a chocolate bunny and some Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Dylan got a basket with art supplies, candy, chocolate bunny, Power Ranger cards and a Bionicle.
Its been storming on and off since last night. A cold front blew thru. It literally stopped raining long enough this morning for me to finish the laundry.
I am going to make chicken fried rice and egg rolls for dinner with chocolate cake for dessert.
The boys are playing video games. They shouldn't be. They are grounded. But its a holiday so they are on reprieve.
I took Eddie to get some new pants for school. He is wearing a 14 now! I almost died of shock. My once scrawny little kid is growing up.
I'm bored, can ya tell?
Matrix Revolutions rocks! You have to see it.
My friends are giving me a headache. "Don't tell J. I said this...." or "Don't tell K. I said that....." I'm stuck in the middle.
I am loving this cool weather. This summer is going to be a bitch. Luckily we are close enough to walk to the pool and library, with a convience store near by for drinks. And with us being so close to the beach we have to go. 30 minutes tops to get to Stewart Beach. Another 30 either direction to get to a free beach.

Well I guess thats enough of my mindless drivel.

Testing.....1 2 3......testing

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

What a night!

Apprentice.....Omorosa was back and is digging herself a deep whole. I just hope what she is doing doesn't hurt Kwame's chances of winning. She was on Oprah earlier and kept saying over and over "I have moved on, BUT....." Give me a freakin break. "I was glorified like every other African American woman seen on a reality show.....I was made out to be a bitch." Um no hunny, you made yourself out to be one by actually being a bitch. No color was involved in it.

Surviror.......Ding dong, Lex is gone. The tribes merged. Rupert won the reward challenge and took Amba and Jenna with him to a spa to get pampered. Lex got paranoid. Rob stabbed Lex in the back (no shock there). Kathy was going to give her immunity to Lex and then changed her mind at the council. Lex was shocked.

ER.....Lizzie should not have let Carrie into the operating room. She didn't let her stay with the baby after the OD. She made things to emotional in the OR. I'm sad to see Gallant go.

Make up sex is the best!!!

Wednesday, April 07, 2004

Ugh.....I'm sick to my tummy today.

One of my neighbors and I "stole" a screen for my patio door this morning. He swiped it from an empty apartment for me. Eddie was upset, "You are stealing." "No we aren't hunny, it belongs to the complex, we are just moving it from one apartment to another." About damn time I get one. I've only been asking for one since we moved in.

And speaking of screens, I am about to kill our cat. Yesterday we had a bad storm move thru, but in its wake it left gorgeous cool weather. So I opened all the windows. Pyscho kitty decided she wanted to get out of my tiny kitchen window and tore the screen up trying to get out. In my best Trey impersonation...."Stupid kitty".

We watched "Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" last night. I boo-hoo-ed. I've seen it before so I don't know why I cried watching it last night.

Tomorrow I get to shop. Not for me tho :( Well one thing for me....the new Matrix movie. The boys all need new jeans or school shorts. Eddie is about to have a growth spurt. He has gained 10 pounds in about a month and his size 10's don't fit anymore. Chris and Dylan both have holey jeans. And I need to get Dylan's easter basket stuff.

Off to get thru another day..........

Monday, April 05, 2004

I'm still here......for the moment. I took the boys computer out of their room and cleaned it up real purdy (TY Mr Clean Magic Erasers!!!). I'm running virus scan on it now in hopes of getting it to work better.

We still have cable internet. I guess Time Warner is in no hurry to disconnect us. I'll look into Netzero tomorrow. (Man, I'm just dropping names left and right)

So I was only MIA for a few hours. I really didn't think the old computer (Hewlett Packard......clunk) would still work well enough for me to even bother getting on the internet, but its hanging in there.

So I will just sit back and drink my Dr. Pepper and smoke my Marlboro while watching Paul play Gamecube.

(Smash)

Saturday, April 03, 2004

Paul is about to take the computer back. I am going to have to wait a few days to get the cheaper one so I will be missing in action. Everything is fine. Be back soon.

Luv ya all :)

Friday, April 02, 2004

Good morning world. Its Friday!!

Survivor....Jeri is gone. Rob cried over "Amba". It was all so sweet.

ER.....When med students fuck up! I would hate to be in that ER. Paul and I both started boo-hoo-ing when Gallant told Neela he was going to ask her out, and then she said she would have said yes. OMG, I'm verklempt, discuss amongst yourselves..........


So anyway, its Friday.....time to trade kids. And of course Trey and Vincent are grounded again. She had to call Paul last night and drag him into it. I can understand that, but geezzz woman wake up. Those boys don't want to be there. She can't handle it and calls Paul to discipline them. Oh, enough of her.

I hope Mike remembers to bring back my movies. I called him yesterday to remind him.

There's going to be a free Easter egg hunt Sunday at the Sportsplex. This may be Dylan's first. I think it is. I need to get film for the camera.
"Bad mommy, 5 years old and never been hunting."
"Shuddup."

Thursday, April 01, 2004

Congrats to Amy on her newest bundle of joy. I can't wait to hear all the details!!

I just got off the phone with the leasing company (for the computer). He can't lower our payments but does have a brand new slower Dell we can afford. So I guess we will just exchange the computers and get cheap dial up. So my computer life is still alive!!! Mwahahahhahahaha. You thought you could get rid of me. Ha, ha I say!!

Sniff, sniff.....why do they have to show this rerun of ER? The one where Mark dies? Why do I watch it everytime its on? Actually its the one where John reads the letter that Mark died. Tomorrow is the one where Mark and Rachel are in Hawaii. They just had to drag his death out.

Lana is in heaven today. I have the patio door open and don't care that she is out there. I don't think she is stupid enough to jump from the second story, but she does scare me slinking along the edge of the patio. She loves the outdoors. She loves the wind blowing thru the apartment. She loves chasing the bugs that make their way in.
