Happy Saturday :)

We went to my neice's graduation party. It was at her favorite Mexican food restarant in Tomball. She was an hour late of course. "She has to make an entrance", said her mom. And she did. Think Paris Hilton without the stringy bleach blonde hair. H. waltzes in wearing a gorgeous strapless floral dress and a Von Dutch truckers hat to a round of applause. She squeals, she laughs. Her dad gives her roses. She see's me and runs over to say hi and give me a hug. Dylan gives her her present. I got her a pair of twisted silver hoops which I "wrapped" in this adorable little purple sequinced bad I found in the candy aisle. The bag came with candy jewelry and makeup in it. I thought it would be so cute to put the earrings in that. H. loved it.
We then pigged out on fajitas. I'm still stuffed and we ate over 5 hours ago. After everyone ate we all took pictures.
I feel really old after going to this party. Not only is my oldest neice 17 and just graduated from high school, but another one of the guests, last time I saw her she was 2 or 3 trying to ruin another brother of mine's wedding. She was the flower girl who didn't like all the attention not on her. That little girl is now a 20 something young lady seating at the other end of the table. LOL I'm so old. Where is my cane?

So H., here's to you, to your future at Blinn college, and to life!! I love you.

Summer officially starts in 4 1/2 hours. AARRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

Today is the last day of school and its a half day. Dylan will be home by 9:45, Chris (if he makes it thru the day) will be home at 12:30 and Eddie at 1:30. And then its summer time!

My fondest memory of my last day of school? Last day of junior year, we felt invincible because WE were now the seniors!! A bunch of us hopping in our cars and throwing in our "5150" tapes, pulling out of the driveway singing "Summer Nights" as loud as we could. We owned the world!

Chris isn't feeling well today. He's complaining of a sore throat and had a very slight fever. I told him he had to go to school. He has his awards ceremony today, report cards, get friends number and emails, etc. He whined but said he would go. I gave him some asprin so he should be fine. I really think he is just sad about it being the last day of elementary school. He's whole world will change. He hasn't really wanted to go to school all week. I did let him stay home yesterday. I will talk to him when he gets home.

Still not sure if my sister is coming or not. As of yesterday afternoon she .....speak of the devil, up pops an email from her. BRB.
She's not coming. Plumbing problems, house floating away. :(

My sister emailed me this morning. Her and the kids may drive down Friday night to go to our neice's graduation party. She will let me know for sure tomorrow. I hope she can come. The boys ask me about once a month when Aunt Kay Kay is coming to visit. She said if they leave when she gets off work Friday, they would be here Saturday morning and then leave first thing Monday morning. I hope she can come :)

Dylan brought home more stuff from school. Going thru his back pack I realized this is the last one to go thru Pre-K. My baby will be in Kindergarten next year. I got all teary eyed.

testing, testing......wondering where my last 2 posts went. Nothing to see here, move along.

:P

Um, where did yesterdays post go??

Monday, May 24, 2004

Good morning all :)

How was everyones weekend? Mine was good. Friday night we watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Saturday Paul had to work so the boys and I cleaned house some and played outside. Sunday we went to the park and then I came home and baked. The boys played outside with friends. Paul then went to the store for his mom while the boys and I got their room ready for the new bed(s) they got from a cousin. Its a day bed with trundle. Very pretty and girlie. LOL The twins don't care. Its more comfortable than the old full size bed they where sleeping on.

One more week of school and then the summer is officially here. I pretty much have our summer planned. Eddie is signed up to volunteer at the library. Then there is all the summer stuff planned at the library.....reading clubs, Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game, movies, crafts, etc. The pool will open this weekend and I will get the passes then. I'm going to call the animal shelter later and see if they need volunteers for the summer and possibly sign Chris up for that. Then there are the trips to the beach and hopefully a trip to Six Flags Astroworld. The boys are begging to go this year.

My oldest neice is graduating this weekend. Insert typical "I can not believe..." saying here. I got her graduation pictures in the mail last week. She is freakin gorgeous. I mean super model gorgeous. Its had to believe she is the product of my brother. We won't be going to the graduation but will be going to the party afterwards.

Still hadn't heard back from CPS.

Don't have a case of the Monday's :)

Kids rave.

Dylan brought home his journal yesterday from school. Journal for pre-k is they draw a picture in their notebook and then tell the teacher what the picture is about. The teacher then writes it on the same page as the picture. I looked through it and read these 2 entries.
The picture is of Dylan and Paul at the park. "Me and my dad went to the park. My mom went too. She's not in the picture. She's in the bathroom. My brothers are playing somewhere else."
Picture of a kite. "This is me flying a kite. My mom was getting a sunburn. That's what girls do. My dad and I were going to make a sandcastle, but the water messed it up."

Eddie is trying out for a talent show today. He and a friend are doing a mime act. I haven't seen the act yet, but I think they might have a chance with the 50 odd assorted musical acts.

Chris has "graduation" events for next week. He can't wait. There is even going to be a pool party next Thursday. Friday is the awards ceremony.

9 days till summer insanity!!

*yawn*

Morning all.

I talked to K the other morning. She was diagnosed with having a nervous breakdown and they want to test her for bi-polar. She is still going thru the nervous breakdown. Everytime myself or J talk to her, she is in tears. Plus she is lying off her ass. She tells me one thing and then turns around and tells J something totally different. J and I talked about it yesterday. We are tired of the lies, but yet we know she is having mental problems and don't want to turn our backs on her.

Oh and interesting tidbit.....after I got home from J's yesterday there is a business card on my front door from CPS with a note on the back asking me to call them. WTH?? All I can think of is that Chris' school called them because he hasn't had 1 of his meds in a week. Why? Because his dr is taking his own sweet time authorizing it for insurance. Walgreens has had the script for a week now. I have called the dr, Walgreens has called the dr. He isn't returning anyones calls and I know he is in the office. His receptionist says he is. She keeps giving him his messages from me and Walgreens. So now I have been waiting to hear back from CPS to see whats going on. And if it was the school that called without any thought as to finding out why Chris hasn't had this one med, Paul said we are sueing. The school has no right to demand I medicate my child and then call CPS. I have had CPS called on me before. Why? Because I spanked my child in front of a principal. The CPS worker came and talked to me about and said the school wasted her time by calling.

I also had to go to the car lot yesterday to get my payments straightend out. They lost 2 payments. I spent half an hour on the phone with them going thru receipts. Then I had to walk up there and show them my receipts. One more thing goes wrong with the van or the car lot and I am taking the van back. Just one thing after another with the van or them. Transmission went out 2 weeks after we bought it. There never was an inside handle to the sliding door and I'm still waiting for them to replace it. Now the outside handle is broke from using it more than needed because of no inside handle. Then they loose some of my payments.

And while I am bitching about everyones incompitence, I get a call from the hospital Eddie had his surgery at telling me Medicaid will not pay for it because Medicaid said that Eddie had another primary insurance at the time of surgery. WTH? If he had another primary insurance do you think he would be on Medicaid? So I call Medicaid and they said they have it down as Aetna being primary. No he has not been coved by Aetna in over a year and y'all know that from when I had to apply for Medicaid. So now I have to have my ex call Aetna and get a "Letter of Compliance Coverage" or something like that and send it to Medicaid.

Morning :)

Trey and Paul got home after midnight last night. They had a blast. Trey's school came in first of their class. Paul survived a band trip with a bunch of middle schoolers. They didn't get to ride Master Blaster because the line was too long. But they had fun. :)

The bitch called about 8 last night to let me know that Vince was having too much fun at the reunion and would stay with them.

Saturday, May 15, 2004

Oh Oh Oh I forgot to tell y'all something. Eddie, minutes before he left to go to his dads, told me about a girl he thinks likes him. Her name is "Sam". I asked him why he thought she likes him. He said because she always asks him for help on things.
Me..."Do you like her?"
Eddie..."NO...well maybe (with this cute grin on his face)." Me..."Is she cute?"
Eddie..."Yeah, kinda. She has brown hair and brown eyes."

He can't have a girlfriend. He's only 11 and 11/12ths. He was just in diapers yesterday. He wants to volunteer at the library over the summer. He wants his own email address, which he has, he just doesn't know it yet ;)

I'm excited about this new step in life but yet scared to death. They grow up way too fast.

Happy 14th birthday to my stepson Trey! I have a teenager in the house! (insert screams while running away)

Paul and Trey got up very early this morning to head to New Braunfels for a band competition. After that they are spending the rest of the day at Shliterbahn (very cool water park for those that don't know). They will be home very early tomorrow morning. Vince will be here sometime later today after a family reunion in Galveston. So its just me and Dylan today.

K is home. She got home sometime yesterday. I haven't talked to her. J has several times.

I think Dylan and I will walk over to J's later. I need to make the car payment and the lot is just on the corner of J's street. May go to the library also. I have about 8 movies on hold they should be calling me about either today or tomorrow. I can't wait to see some Monty Python. I have only seen their movies once and have the Holy Grail and Life of Brian on hold. Paul and I started watching "The Audrey Hepburn movie" last night with Jennifer Love Hewitt. So far its an ok movie.

No more drama, please!!

K was taken to the hospital this morning. Her and T got into another fight this morning. J calls me and asks me to go down and calm K down until she could get there. J also gave me a quick run down of what was going on. I told her I would but I'm not too happy about doing it because K should have left T along time ago and I'm tired of soothing her. J agreed and said she would be there as soon as she could. So off I go to K's apartment. I know I shouldn't have said it but I went off on K when I got there. I told her she wasn't getting any sympathy from me because she refuses to leave T. She understood (a little) and cried to me about the fight they had. How she is tired of being his "mother" and not his wife. Then J shows up and I left. I wasn't sticking around for it.

About a half hour later K calls me and askes me to get little T when he gets home from school because she "was leaving". I said sure, didn't think much of it. Another half hour later she calls back asking if I was on the phone with J. No I wasn't but had been trying to call her but the phone is busy. K..."Would you walk over to her house and tell the bitch to bring me back my Somas. She fucking stole them from me again. But don't tell her I'm blaming her, just tell her I can't find them." Me...."Um, K, she came over in her night gown, where is she going to put them? Up her vagina?" K...."Just go over there for me".

Fine. So off I go. I walk over to J's. I told J that K is off her rocker and is blaming you again for her pills missing. Yada, yada, yada. J and I hop into her car and drive back to the apartments to find an ambulance and cops at K's apartment. I run up her stairs, yelling K's name and was met at the top of the stairs by a cop. "Are you J?" "No but she'll be right up" I hear K from her bedroom yelling at me and J, calling us bitches. The cop asks J and I to go back downstairs and talk to him. He asked if one of us called 911. No we didn't. He asked J if she took K's pills. J said no. We told him what was going on and that we thought K needed help now. He agreed. We told him this wasn't the first time (oppps, I forgot to mention K had taken some Zanax.) that she had tried to OD on pills. He said they would most likely take her in for a psych evalution. Paramedics wheren't too sure if she did OD this time or not. K was saying she only took the amount she was suppose to take, but J had seen her take 3 earlier.

sigh

So she's at the hospital now. K called another neighbor of ours and talked to her. Not me or J. The neighbor found out they did pump her stomach, which means she did OD. She probably took more Zanax and the Somas that she is blaming J for taking.

I called T at work to let him know his wife is in the hospital after OD'ing and his response....."Ok, I'm not going, bye." Click. Dumbass!!

So if you read thru this whole drama, I have a brownie for you. And ask that you send good thoughts her way for a speedy mental recovery.

Well, I found out last night that Paul has bookmarked my blog. He said he doesn't read it too much but knows its there. I told him I use this as a place to vent when needed so if he sees anything in here about him he can't get mad.

I think I'm trying to get sick again. Woke up this morning with my chest and throat hurting. But I feel fine, just tired. I think I may be pre-menopausal, if thats possible. Haven't been sleeping all that great, hot flashes that last hours and I'm way more weepy than normal. Or I could just be a hypochondriac.

What to do today.....finish the kitchen, make that cake I have been wanting to make for weeks now, maybe make the other half of that brisket for dinner, watch Survivor and ER, go pick up Chris' prescriptions and hope they don't cost an arm and a leg.

I also talked to a neighbor last night that I also worked with at the convience store last summer. She told me to go talk to the owner about getting my job back because one of the other girls is hinting to quiting. I want to but only if its part time. I don't trust the twins home alone all summer for more than a few hours. Hell I don't trust them home alone for 5 minutes, but yet I can't get a sitter for them either. Thats how bad the twins are or could be when no one will watch them for me. Well, I could but it would be 2 different sitters. Plus its not worth going back to work if I have to pay for a sitter. I need the extra money to help with the bills, not dish it back out to a sitter. Plus the sitter would prolly want more money than I can afford to pay. I'll have to really think about this.

So how do I look?

I like it. Not as busy as the other template. I'm still trying to add the site meter but it is having "difficulties". I need to add my links again also.

Monday, May 10, 2004

Um, this is new. Whats going on? Blogger had an extreme makeover.

Ok, so anyway, last night was the finale of Survivor. I so wanted Rob to win but knew he wouldn't. He pissed off too many jury members. I'm so glad Shii-ann stepped up and said what she did (People in glass houses should not throw stones.) Before she said that I just wanted to slap her. Lex still needs slapped. I think he finally "got it" during the reunion show when he saw how the audience reacted to him. And poor Jeri . Congrats to Rob and Amba and my vote is for Rupert to get the other million.

Happy Mom's day to all my favorite ladies :)

Friday, May 07, 2004

I think I figured out what one of Chris' problems are.....he was meant to be an only child.

He stayed home today due to a tummy ache. He was so good and well behaved. He is still being good now that Dylan is home. But just wait till Eddie gets home.

Maybe its Eddie with the problem. He is like a little tornado sometimes, just stirring up trouble. I have had him tested. He is ADHD but not bad enough to be medicated.

I am taking everyone shopping tonight. Paul and Dylan need to shop for my mom's day present and Chris and Eddie need some shorts. We will probably stop somewhere for dinner too. I want a nice big steak which means Chili's, but I don't feel like paying alot for dinner. Hell, it can count as a mom day gift. LOL. But the twins eat grown up meals now. Kids meals are snacks for them. So no Chili's. Definitely cost too much. Taco Cabana sounds good, but the twins don't like mexican food that I don't make. They don't like all the extra stuff that goes in mexican food, like the peppers or spicey stuff. They will eat nachos. Hmmmm.... The twins are tooo damn picky when it comes to food. They are scared to death to try new things. They would be perfectly happy with cheeseburgers (only ketchup), hot dogs (only ketchup) and ramen noodles. They remind me so much of me at that age. I was a picky eater also. Paul says I still am.

So I guess it will McD's again. Or ChickFilet. Yummy!!

Thursday, May 06, 2004

Oh.My.Gawd.

I think I am all cried out. OMG, "Friends" was so sad. I bawled like a baby. I started crying after they played the opening credits for the last time. I am thrilled that Ross and Rachel are together!! They drug that out tho. They made you wait for it. I was in tears waiting. Just waiting for those words....."I got off the plane".

And then "ER". OMG, that was just terrible. I admit, I was spoiled and knew it was coming. But jeeze louise, don't do that kinda shit to my Carter. Not John. I lost it (again) when his dad showed up. And then again when Abby kissed his head.......

I haven't watched "Survivor" yet. I know who was voted off (buh bye Big Tom). I was hopeing Jenna would be next.

Off to watch Leno and cry some more.

Before reading, make sure you grab surgical mask by the door.

Paul and Eddie are home sick today. Ugh. So I will be spending the day disinfecting everything.

"10.5" sucked. What a waste of a movie.

More later....

Monday, May 03, 2004

Morning all :)

Still congested, but alive. So far today I have done 4 loads of laundry and vacuumed. The boys are off to school.

(drool) Brad Pitt is going to be on Oprah this afternoon. :D

We watched "Animal House" Saturday night. Paul and I would start giggling before the funny parts and Trey and Vince would ask us "What?what?". "Just watch". Then they would die laughing. Its fun to watch favorite movies with the kids for the first time.

I got an email from my sister this morning letting me know her new cell number. It wasn't just to me but to everyone on her list. She also griped some more about us looking for her last month and wondering if she was dead. Also mentioned that her asshole is in "treatment" and has to go 3 times a week, 3 hours each visit. They are not living together but still see each other. My neice has recieved 3 silver medals for cheerleading and my nephew has a girlfriend.

I need to go lie down now. TTFN!

(cough, hack, sneeze)

Oh, I'm sorry about that. Didn't mean to spray it.

I have been up since 5am. I hate being sick. Especialy today. Roni's wedding. If I didn't have a fever I would so be there. I seriously thought about going and wearing a surgical mask like Michael Jackson, but I didn't want to scare her family away.

Paul, Trey and Vince left early this morning to take Vince to Saturday detention. So its just me and Dylan here this morning. Mike picked up Eddie and Chris last night. I asked Mike to take Eddie shopping for some shorts. I'm so glad I have a good ex. We had our problems at first but then the judge scared him. He's behaved ever since.

Roni, have a great day. I wish you and Chris all the best :)

Snap, have fun at the game :)
