Criminal Activity

It appears that my law breaking ways have been passed down to my son!

My Aunt Donna left a bag of things here for me to get to my Aunt Adair

I was entrusted with the bag of goodies....

It appears that we cannot be trusted!

This little criminal is now facing charges!

Destruction of property

Not only destruction of property but also....

Mail Tampering

He used my mail as a beating device in the process of destroying the property...

I tried to discuss the serious nature of these crimes with him.

But as you can see he does not take it seriously.

In fact he seems to show

NO REMORSE

He did ask if Aunt Donna and Aunt Adair would pardon him

since he is so cute....

Still Frowned Upon

I know that I shouldn't be doing this....

I'm sure it is still frowned upon....

But it really comes down to numbers for me...

The fine for burning in town is $25.00!

I can risk the fine and burn the leaves in about 45 minutes...

Or I can follow the "rules" and spend about 2 hours bagging the leaves up!

So I decided that my time was worth more than $25.00.

Burn away yucky leaves!

Mama has better things to do!

I know what your thinking

Crazy Rebel!

In My Head

Just a few thoughts in my head....

My sister isn't moving to San Francisco. This was a difficult decision for her and she is pretty upset. I'm bothered that she is hurting but I won't lie... I'm also thrilled she isn't going to be so far away.

I spent 45 minutes at Cartridge World this morning because the old guy working there couldn't ring up my purchase correctly. At first I was patient but honestly by the time I left I was pretty pissed. I don't like wasting time!

My blood sugar was under 200 this morning. Can I get an Amen! It's still high but not your going to go blind, lose a limb and need a kidney transplant high. So we are making progress.

The Hulk is a monster on steroids! There has been much crying and fit throwing going on and he and I are both worn out. Who knew that asthma was the devil! I have a new found respect for asthma moms. It's a lot of work! Someone tell me it gets better once meds are regulated?!?

I haven't cleaned my house in days (see worn out above)! It is starting to reach the scary point. My foot stuck to the tile floor when I walked by the high chair this morning. Maybe tonight after The Hulk goes to bed I'll have more energy to get the floor mopped at least.

It keeps raining here. Like flood raining. Like Noah needs to start building an ark kind of raining. The yard is a swamp so no outside playing for the last several days.

My flowers haven't been planted. They are living in little plastic containers in the garage. They won't be living much longer if they don't get planted. But it's to wet to plant them now (See freaking flood story above).

I got the air conditioner fixed so the house is cooler and the water leak has stopped. However, my wall and carpet are ruined so now I have to get that fixed. Mold is the devil and will make The Hulk sick (see asthma steroids monster section above). So that will probably cost a fortune and I don't even know where to start. Who the heck just replaces one wall? Do you call a contractor for that? Oh wait if I had a husband I'd call him. But I don't. So who does that?

The bad dreams have stopped. Now I just don't really sleep. I'm wide awake until about 2 hours before the alarm goes off and then I'm exhausted all day. That's lovely.

Crap I'm running late now. Why do I try to blog in the morning before work!

The Best Day

Today was a wonderful day! Shawn took us all to brunch for Mother's Day and it was delicious. But get this the kids were on perfect behavior! I don't know how it happened but there was NO crying, no whining, no throwing of things, no spilled drinks or food, no fighting, and no blow out diapers. Mattie and The Hulk sat beside each other and played together and laughed. They ate their food and were so so so good! What a wonderful breakfast!

This afternoon we just hung out and relaxed. The Hulk got me a beautiful jacket for Mother's Day. I don't know how he got Aunt Heather the message that I needed it but he did. Thanks for picking that up for him Heather. :-) It was just a great day with my great boy.

Heather got some pics of us together today. So here we are in our Mother's Day glory.

Mother's Day Letter

Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there. I hope you have a wonderful day! I'm sure I will. I tend to write The Hulk letters and stick them away for him so one day he will have them. I don't usually share but today I will... Again I hope you all have a fabulous mother's day!

Hey The Hulk-

Happy Mother's Day! It's our second one together! How can that be? Things are just flying by and you are getting so big. When I was growing up my mom, your Grandma Dee, would always get Aunt Heather and I a present for Mother's Day. She always said without us she wouldn't be a mother. I thought she was really silly then but now I get it. Without you I wouldn't be a mother and you are the best gift of all! Oh how I love you!

I was thinking the other night about how much I love being your mom. Watching you grow and loving you is amazing! I also spend a lot of time thinking about how I don't want to screw up! You are too precious to screw up as your mom. But honestly love I'm going to screw up. In fact I already do.

So since we know I can't be perfect I'm just hoping I can be enough for you. I hope I can love you enough, teach you enough, support you enough, and adore you enough to help you become the best man you can be.

The one thing I hope you always remember is that even though I'm not perfect you do have a perfect parent, God. See he knows everything from beginning to end. And nothing surprises God. When I end up shocked by something you do he isn't. He already knew it would happen. When I screw up he won't. He will always provide you with perfect love and support. So on those days that you are fed up with me and my crazy advice or lectures know that he will always listen and guide you.

Alright sweet boy it's almost time for you to wake up. And we have mother's day to spend together. So I'm gonna sign off and go wrap your present.

All my love,

Your Mama

Boys Best Friend

When I first brought The Hulk home I was worried I would have to get rid of our dog Lena. She is very high strung and honestly very naughty. I figured she would be horrible with a baby. Boy was I wrong!


Lena and The Hulk are best friends. She is so very protective of him. In fact now that he is climbing she is never far away.


She is always watching over him. And she has been known to growl at him when he is into something he shouldn't be. She also barks like a fool if I'm out of the room and he is hurt or upset. In fact when he started having his last asthma attack I was in the other room and she went nuts when he was struggling for air.


I swear they have a special language. He will jabber to her and she seems to understand. He likes to show her the pictures in his books and that crazy dog lays still and lets him.



They have been known to work together to increase the naughty factor. The Hulk will stand on Lena to reach things that are higher up. She helps him remove clothing and he gives her food she shouldn't have.



And when the mean mama intervenes and stops their shenanigans they have even been known to pout together.

Swine Flu

On April 14th, 2009 the first case of Swine Flu was detected. Since that time the media and the WHO (World Health Organization) have gone nuts! You can't turn on the TV or surf the net without seeing something about the Swine Flu. In fact it has been called a pandemic. But I really think we as a society need to reevaluate what that means.

The word pandemic according to Webster's Dictionary means: existing everywhere

Is this accurate? I don't think so. I think we need to place this type of flu in it's proper place and be realistic. I've done some research so let's look at some numbers.... ( My dad will love this! He loves numbers)


Since April 14th there have been
44 Swine Flu Deaths
125 Domestic Violence Related Homicides
120 Child Abuse Deaths
1.25 Million Deaths related to starvation

So I need someone to explain to me how Swine flu is existing everywhere yet 1.25 million people have died from starvation in the same period of time. And I need someone to explain to me why every news station is talking about the Swine Flu and not about the 145 people that have been MURDERED in the same time period in the US alone. Please someone explain to me how this is happening.

I don't give a damn about swine flu. I don't want to hear another word about swine flu. What I want to hear about is how the WHO plans to respond to the pandemic of starvation???? I want to hear the media talk about how we need to address the murder of children at the hands of their parents. Seriously, let's stop talking about the flu and start talking about a real pandemic!
