A/C Is Out  
Our a/c is out today. It went on the blink yesterday afternoon, and since it's June in SoLa I have to wait awhile before I can get anyone out here. Thank GOD we have a separate a/c unit to cool off he upstairs, and thank GOD both of them aren't out. I am also very grateful we have a home warranty so that we won't have to pay anything for it except a $60 service call. Yay for home warranties!

It's been hotter than Hades out here, but I am grateful for the bayou breeze we get. I am SO grateful we don't live in Hell/Oklahoma anymore. Whenever summer comes around all I think of is the nasty dry air there, and the awful prairie dust that gets into everything. I am more and more grateful for Shawn forcing me to move back to Louisiana every day. Not only did I meet the most wonderful husband on Earth, not only did he get me away from the most psycho, evil bitch alive, only only am I in a place that isn't nasty, dry, and dusty, but I am near my real family who is always willing to help me.

Not sure how this post made me think of Oklahoma, but it did. I guess because psychohosebeast's a/c never worked properly because she was too lame to have a properly working a/c. lol Dingaling. I am glad mine is getting fixed. Yay! I am even more glad she's GONE!

On the other hand, I am SO ready for some company. I can't wait until Bree is doing better so she can come visit again. Yay!

I sparkly heart wub this song. LOL Yeah... ok so the "singing/screaming" actually sucks, but T loves this kind of music. The lyrics make me giggle.love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY84FSO1DNg

I guess some kids are just born with tragedy in their blood,
I try to wash this away,
I wanna cleanse your veins,

I can help you see the light out of your despair,
You tie the rope, I'll kick the fucking chair,

I feel the malice in my veins,
My heart swells with hatred in your name,
And when you've got nothing to turn black and blue,
You've still got Hell to look forward to,

You've still got Hell,
You've still got Hell,
When you've still got Hell,

I will dance on your grave,
I will dance on your fucking grave,
I will dance on your grave,
I will dance on your grave,

Oh, when you're blessed with a grave to call your own,
In my mind you'll be six feet closer to your home,
Your eulogy will be music,
Your eulogy will be music to my ears,

Oh, yeah,

I can help you to see light out of your despair,
You tie the rope, I'll kick the fucking chair,

I feel the malice in my veins,
And my heart swells with hatred in your name,
And when you've got nothing to be black and blue,
You've still got Hell,
You've still got Hell to look forward to,

Black and blue,
Black and blue,

I have never really fucking cared,
She never fucking, had fucking air,
I have never really fucking cared,
Tie the rope, I'll kick the fucking chair,
Let's go

Ugh... Facebook Account Hacked  
My Facebook account was hacked, and I found out a few people got NICE links from me! Sorry guys! I think it sent out invites to everyone in my old AOL address book which I have now deleted so THAT should prove interesting.

If anyone in my old address book got an invite from me I'm sorry! It was unintentional. No hard feelings and hugs and crap! The password has been changed so everything should be ok now.

My House, My Love, My Life  
Just now I let Toby out before going to bed, and I walked out the front door with him. As I was walking back in I just kinda looked up at my house. It's a really beautiful home. I mean really... 6 bedrooms, 4500 total square feet with around 3400 living space (I don't remember exactly... sue me), nice large kitchen, 4 bathrooms, nice backyard where I have a beautiful garden planted, ceramic tile, wooden floors, Berber carpeting, Flexsteel furniture, solid oak entertainment center and shelving in the living room... these are just a few of the beautiful things Donnie has provided. I wonder... how did I get so lucky?

So many people in this world are suffering and have so little and are losing everything, and here I am in this beautiful home, with my little work at home mom business, with my luxuries and fully stocked pantry and fridge, my kids are soundly sleeping in their comfortable beds, and I'm about to go to bed in my own comfortable bed. How did I get so lucky? I mean really we could lose it all quickly. We do have a good bit in savings, but it's not enough to last forever should something awful happen.

Well... I was thinking about all of this when something hit me. I've had nothing. Donnie's had nothing. He's worked hard to get us where we are today, and should something ever happen we have each other. No matter what... it would all be ok. I really feel that way. For the first time in my life I am absolutely, positively secure. The one thing I have craved my entire life has been security, and Donnie has given it to me. He's given me what no one else has ever been able to give me. He's given me a beautiful home, a comfortable living, my bills are all paid and we have extra in the savings account, stocks, bonds, and all that blabbity blah blah blah. However, all of that pales compared to the real gifts he's given. He's freely given me love, a beautiful baby, a loving extended family, security, and himself. He's also given me hope.

Love is forever. Love is real. Love does exist. Fairytales do happen and dreams do come true.

God... I miss him tonight.

Update  
I'm just sitting here in our sunroom watching the baby play outside, Zachary is upstairs in his room watching his new Sponge Bob DVD that he got for Easter, Mark is at my mom's for the night, and Donnie went run to the restaurant to get Sunday night takeout (we're having seafood takeout tonight). I was just sitting here thinking how idyllic my life has become. I mean think about it. Here I sit in my 900 sq ft sunroom watching my daughter play in the sprinkler in the backyard next to the big wooden swingset complete with clubhouse and big slide. Our golden retriever is at my feet, and my little poodle is curled up next to me. My 2 cats are lounging on the carport in the sun. I can hear the birds singing in the trees, and I am sitting here contemplating the vegetables and fruits we will gather from our rather sizable garden and fruit trees this summer. The clothes is lightly swaying on the clothesline, and I have the doors open to feel the light and cool Louisiana spring breeze. The sky is so light blue that it is almost white, and my life is completely peaceful.

I sit here thinking about all of this, and all I can think of is how much God must love me to have blessed me with such a beautiful life. I know that it can all be taken away in an instant so I want to cherish every single beautiful moment I am granted.

As I wrote that I realized how pessimistic that sounded. I just want to clarify that I am not at ALL pessimistic. I just want my readers to realize how much I understand that I am blessed, and how I strive to cherish each and every moment of this blessed life.

I think back to just a few years ago. My life was in an uproar with drama at every turn. I was not peaceful whatsoever, and there was turmoil everywhere. Then I met this beautiful, beautiful man who changed my life. He has the most gentle of souls, and he has the purest of hearts. I've never met anyone like him in my life. He makes me want to be a better person. I love him more every day.

I worked really hard to cleanse my life because I wanted to be better not only for myself but for Donnie. I cut out all the negative aspects of my life that I could, and then I worked to improve the things that I couldn't cut out. It was hard, and there were times that it was painful. I hurt people, and people hurt me. I learned a lot in the process, and I am grateful for the learning experience. I do believe that God wanted me to learn from those things in my life so therefore I am grateful they were there.

Am I sorry to those that I hurt? I am sorry for some. There are times I could have handled things better. However it is what it is, and I am just grateful for what my life is now.

I have to go because Donnie is home with dinner. We just decided a few nights ago to try for another baby. I can't decide if I want another girl or another boy. Hehe.... I just know that I can't wait to bring another beautiful child into my blessed world.

I Miss Blogging  

I miss blogging a LOT. My life is just so full and busy these days that I really don't have much time. This monster of a huge house definitely keeps me grooving, and the kids are also keeping me on my toes. I love it though. I love my kids so much, and I love this house.

Every day I'm with Donnie I love him more. Oh we have our moments where I want to choke him, and I know he has his moments where he wants to choke me. It's like I'm in a fairytale most days. He's affectionate, considerate, sweet, loving, a wonderful father, a wonderful son to his parents, and he's the best husband I could ever DREAM of having. I know that a lot of people were appalled that we got married so fast, but it was the best move I've ever made. We both knew we loved each other, and we both knew that was "it." We were both right, too.

The kids are doing so well. Mark is getting SO tall. He's 6'2" now, and he's weighing around 180. He's so good looking. I'm so proud of him. He's decided he wants to be a nurse, and I wouldn't put it past him to stick to it. Zachary is the funniest thing ever these days. He really cracks me up. He has the personality of oh umm a comedian, and Sissy is a regular clown. She's hysterical, and she's such a GOOD baby. She's the kind of baby that makes you want to have a dozen kids.

We're still cloth diapering, breastfeeding, eating as green as we can, and doing all that crazy hippy shit. I've learned to knit very well, and I'm also sewing a lot of our clothes these days. I am also working from home to make some fun money, and I am putting half of what I make aside to spend at Disney this Fall. Yes! You heard me! I said Disney! We're taking the kids to Disney World this October! I am SO excited! So when we get there I wanna have LOTS to spend so I fully intend on bringing lots of fun money. Anyway... I am working from home doing ChaCha, and so far it's really fun. There are some hysterical questions though. Some people are just WAY bored and have WAY too much time on their hands. I'm also about to start knitting for other people, and I have a line of people wanting to be testers for me so yay for that! Mo money! Mo money! Mo money!

It's not jut about the money though. I definitely have more than enough to do with raising the kids and the house and gardening and the chickens we're getting to raise... it's just I want to bring in money, too. I guess it's the Kiki in me (my mom), but I feel like I want to bring in some money. Donnie never makes me feel like I don't contribute enough, but I just want to. It always feels good to bring in a little money of your own. Also I'd like to have more in the savings. We have a good bit of savings put aside, but I'd really like to have a nice nest egg so that way just in case something awful happens we have a really comfy nest egg and can last for a long time.

Donnie is doing so well with Weight Watchers. He's already lost 30 lbs! He gained weight with me when I got pregnant with Sissy, and when he went to the dr 6 weeks ago his blood pressure was up, his cholesterol was sky high, and his weight was really bad. Well he wanted to lose a total of about 90 lbs, and he's already got 30 lbs down so YAY for Donnie! When he gets to his goal weight we're going to go on a cruise or something fun just for us. I am considering taking him to Colorado or Wyoming to go camping and fishing, but that's really something I'd feel bad about doing without the kids. We'll see... it's not set in stone yet what his prize will be. *hubba hubba*

That's about all that's going on here. I'm about to go to bed early tonight. I'm wiped out. It's been a long day, and I have a lot to get done tomorrow. Nite nite!

We bought a cow!  

I’m all like super excited! We bought a cow yesterday! 475 lb calf, and it’ll be picked up Monday and slaughtered on Tuesday. They’re going to call me on Tuesday so I can tell them what size I want my steaks cut, how much stew meat, what kind of cut I want for roasts, and all that good stuff :D I’m super excited! My mom is buying a quarter of it, but we’re keeping the rest. If it turns out to be too much then I’ll see if my Aunt Kathie wants some or maybe my friend Heather. My sister can buy her shit from Wal-Mart because she’s acting like a douche lately.

Anyway we went to the stockyard and picked this white calf. There were 3 left from the auction the day before. We missed the auction, but that’s ok because they had exactly what we needed. The biggest one weighed in at 475 lbs which was perfect. It was kinda funny because when we were leaving Zachie said to pick a white one, and the one we picked wound up being white anyway. We got it for 80 cents a pound! That’s CHEAP! The butcher is charging $50 to transport and slaughter the cow, and then 50 cents a pound after that to do the rest. We should get about 250 lbs of meat off that particular calf so we’re looking at around $2.25 a lb after all is said and done! That’s SO much cheaper than in the stores! I paid $12 for a roast the other day! That’s when I decided to just go buy a damn cow and get it butchered. This is awesome! I’m so glad we have a larger freezer :D

Also Donnie brought home 2 sacks of freshly picked oysters! He shucked a sack yesterday and a sack today. They were SO good. We froze about 13 pints, and we ate about 4 or 5 dozen raw. LOL They were FABULOUS raw. They were so salty it was almost TOO salty. YUM! I also fried some for supper last night with some fresh catfish, and we had fish and oyster poboys on french bread with lettuce, pickles, cheese, tomatoes, and ketchup. They were so good…. YUM! I can’t wait to get our beef next!

I’m having fun knitting Sissy a new pair of longies. They’re coming out so pretty! I’ll post pics when I have them finished. Hopefully they’ll be done in two or three more days. I don’t have time to sit and knit all day :( Ah well…

Grocery shopping tomorrow. Bleck… I’m glad Donnie is coming with me since I want to shop for 2 weeks this time.

Knitting and Tired (Update)  

Midnight. Yep. It’s midnight. I’m so obsessed with getting this waistband done that I am knitting at midnight. This is some purdy yarn though so I don’t mind.

I think my a/c is fucked. I’m going to call the repairman on Monday. Thank goodness we got that warranty on the house. Our washing machine broke last month, but it was just the pump so it was just $200 to fix it. Some of my friends were saying, “Oh yay! You get a new washer!” I was NOT saying yay. I ant a new washing machine, but I want to wait a few months to a year or two or three (lol) so I can get a matching front loading set. I don’t want to put it on the credit card, and there are things I want more than new washing machines. The ones I have work wonderfully. I’d rather get more fun furniture like ummm wall hangings, new coffee table, end tables, and a new rug. Yeah… that’s going to be next.

I got my table and 4 of the chairs delivered today. We’re still waiting on the 2 arm chairs. My MIL and FIL gave us a very nice housewarming gift so we bought a new kitchen set with it. I love my IL’s. They are seriously awesome, and I’m not just saying that because they gave us some cash to buy a new dining set with it.

I’ve been having fun lately online again. I’ve finally got NORMAL friends, and it’s NICE. It’s just nice to have a quiet life. My kids are doing well. I am turning into fucking Suzy Homemaker though. LOL I knit. I sew. I even clean. Shudder…. The horror!

We moved Sissy into her own room a few weeks ago. *cry* She was ready. She was waking every 1 1/2 hour to nurse just because I was there. When she spent the night at Mom’s house and slept all night… Yeah… I knew it was time to put her in her own room. Sure enough, we put her in her own room, and she’s sleeping all night now. Just last night she slept from 8 pm to 7:30 pm. I miss having her next to me at night though while Donnie’s offshore. Sleeping alone just sucks.

Donnie’s offshore right now. He comes home Tuesday :) I have a surprise planned for him for his first weekend home. My mom is keep Sissy the entire weekend, and Shawn will have both the boys. It will be our first kid free weekend in over a year! Ya know what’s sad? I don’t even want to go out much. I don’t want to do much. I just want to relax, walk the French Quarter, come home, sleep late, I’m NOT cooking, and I’m NOT doing laundry or cleaning (much). I just want to have a nice relaxing weekend, hit New Orleans, maybe hit Baton Rouge to see my cousin’s new house (yay! Go Ashley!), maybe get some sewing and knitting done, and well… that’s about it.

Alright. I’m tired. I’m not even making any sense. I’m going to bed.

My Baby Turned 1 Today  
This time last year I was cuddling a newborn, and I was laughing and smiling and beginning to feel sore enough to want to sleep. I'm rather teary tonight. I still can't believe she's a year old. I've never felt this nostalgic about a birthday before. Maybe it's because I didn't get to stay home as much with the boys, and maybe it's because my life is just so damn GOOD now. I've never been this happy, and I've never been so in love with my children as I am at this point in my life. I can't believe she's 1.




My first picture as a mother of 3 with all 3 babies

Bringing her home. Zachie was so excited.


6 mos old

Today




Look at those CURLS

She dove right in. Didn't even hesitate.






Sniff... she's so beautiful. She's a sweetheart, too. She's so good. I couldn't ask for a better natured baby. Sigh...

It never stops  

Things have been a madhouse around here lately, and I am so icky lately that I can barely keep up. My brain can barely function, or at least that's what it feels like. I feel like I walk around in a fog all day long. I am exhausted constantly. I will be talking to someone, and I hear the first dozen words they are saying. However, all the words after that feel like they're a foreign language. I can't remember anything, and I am constantly starting new projects that I am entirely unable to finish. It's awful. Worst of all is I feel absolutely lethargic. It sucks big time. I have a dr's appt tomorrow so hopefully we'll start getting to the bottom of this.

The kids are doing beautifully so that's a good thing. I am able to get them taken care of at least. They are all so beautiful. My kids are my stronghold in this world. Donnie is truly the man of my dreams. I never thought I'd have someone so wonderful. I can't wait until I am feeling better so that we can start doing things together again. He is... I don't even know. I can't describe it. I really love him more and more with each passing day.

I am loving knitting and sewing these days. I have made Sissy some new pants, and I am making the boy's pj pants this week. I am going to make Donnie some if I can find some fabric on sale that he likes. I don't see the point of buying fabric that's expensive because then the whole point of sewing clothes is lost. However, I do love the knitting things. Sissy's diaper covers and longies are EXPENSIVE unless I make them myself. I refuse to spend $60 to $100 on a pair of longies when I can just knit them up myself. Wool is NOT cheap! I could alwyas just use PUL diaper covers, but they're not as pretty as her wool pants. I just adore them! It makes it even more fun because a lot of people around me think they're kinda weird looking. LOL I admit it. It makes me want to put her in them even more because people don't like them. LOL Shame on me... blah blah blah. LOL

Anyway... I'm in the process of knitting Markie a cap for when he's outside playing basketball and riding his bike. He's so big now! I can't believe he's 6'2! So going back to watching MASH and knitting in my rocking recliner. ROFL I sound so gramma!

And oh shit! I just remembered... I forgot to put the dadgum bread pudding in the oven for Magoo. Shit! Looks like I'll be up awhile. Le sigh...

OMG! We are witnessing HISTORY! I will be able to tell my grandchildren that I witnessed the first non-white president. This is freaking HISTORY! I woke Donnie up and told him, “Obama WON! WE WON! WE WON!” I am so excited. I have the goosebumps. I witnessed history!

I am for change!

I'm Happy Just To Be  
Today is a beautiful day. The weather is abso-freakin-lutely gorgeous. The neighbors are cutting down their pine trees (YAY) so I hear the sound of the chain saws which is actually a beautiful sound since it means no more pine needles in my yard. Donnie is outside putting my clothesline up. WOOOOT! That wonderful man had one of his welders make me some t-poles for a really good clothesline that goes across the back of my yard, and I'm about to clean the kitchen, heat up some lunch for Mark, Bree, and myself, and then I'm going to fold some laundry, fold some diapers, do some more laundry, and clean my upstairs bathrooms if Sissy is still sleeping when I am done. I am hoping to start unpacking my office pretty soon so I can get back to working my coops.

We're probably going to the Zoo tomorrow or Saturday. Friday I want to hit up some thrift stores to see if I can find more fun stuff. I am on a new thrift store shopping kick. Hehe.... I love finding really cool stuff at the cool little thrift stores around the area. I found 4 really awesome wool sweaters to make into longies and soakers for Sissy to play in, and I found 2 nice fleece pull overs to make into longies for her to play in and she'll even be able to go places in these because they're really pretty colors. One is red, and the other is a beautiful lavender (my favorite color).

Anyway... I started this blog this morning when I had time, but of course I got distracted with kids and lunch and more kids and work and lol... you get the idea. Now I'm sitting here listening to Adelle sing "Rainbow Connection" to me, and it's just the cutest thing ever. I put a fake spider on them earlier, and almost scared Bree out of her skin. Sage thought it was real and was about to be coooooooooooooool. Then he realized it was fake, and he was like aw shit. LOL Anyway, Sissy is sleeping for now so I should go get some clothes folded or some knitting done or dinner started or the toys picked up off the living room floor. Ah.... I love my life :) It's so normal. I am so unbelievably happy :)

OMG... ROFL...  
I just got the biggest giggle EVAH. I mean EVAH... ROFLMAO

Yeah ok... so Bree had me wondering how the old psychos in my life were doing so I went ahead and googled a few. I found a few myspaces because I had forgotten where they were since it's been awhile since I've looked at them. Yeah... Nothing. Has. Changed. I mean NOTHING. The drama is still there. The psychos are still being psycho. 

Ah well... that was my blast to the past for the next year or so. I really was kind of hoping people had changed and gotten better and had learned from their past mistakes, but I guess that doesn't happen. I'm glad I left. That is all.

LM is Here  
Well LM got here on Saturday. It was so good to see everyone. Adelle in particular is having a blast, and Bree Bree is just cute as a button. Sage is funny as usual, and I know he can't wait to go to the zoo to see the snakes and other reptiles. They didn't get to see that last time they were here because they had that gallbladder attack at the zoo. It's been so freaking awesome just hanging out with Bree and Tris and Lex that it's just rockin. They got here in time for Zach's birthday party on the 26th which was awesome, too.

It's just so wonderful to just be able to hang out and not have to worry about impressing anyone. Last year was a worrisome time because we remember how trigger-happy TFT was. Every. freaking. little. thing. triggered them (or so they said). They also said they never sleep. LOL Bree even said they sure didn't have trouble sleeping while they were here. LOL Must be the magic of my house. Well either that or they were full of shit. LOL Anyway... I am not going there. I'm just so glad I don't have people in my life that use me for what I have anymore. It's nice to have people in my life that love me for who I am rather than love me for what they can get out of me. No more blood suckers in my life. It's nice :) No more drama in my life. It's REALLY nice. No more people that have to relive their shit over and over and over and over and over. No more people that don't know how to move on.

I am loving my life. I have a husband that I love more with every passing day. I never knew that could be real. I believed Sue when she said that people like us could never have happiness with normal people. That's so not true. People like HER can never have happiness with normal people because she doesn't know how to find happiness within herself. Once I was able to accept myself for who I am, and once I got rid of the garbage in my life and cut out the nastiness I was able to find happiness and love. I am able to have love and show love. My children are doing so wonderfully. My life is complete. I love my children. I love my husband. I love my family. I love my friends. I love myself. It's a wonderful life.

I have NORMAL friends that are fun to be with. I hang out with other moms who are not nuts and part of the psychotic online mental community. I never knew I could be accepted because people like Sue and TFT always had me believing that I could never be accepted. That's so not true. They can never be accepted because they refuse to try. I tried and succeeded. I am a success. We are a success. It's wonderful.

TFT showed their true colors. I will give Sue her props on that one. She was right about TFT. They are prime mind-fuckers. Make you believe they are your friends forever and are unconditionally yours. Meh... Liars. Fakers. Backstabbers. Bree and LM told me the truth there. The way they admitted they changed IM's around to say what they wanted it to say. The way they talked smack about me while they were at my house on the ticket that I paid for because they were too poor to pay their own ticket. The way they used me for the materialistic stuff they could get out of me, and when I stopped sending gifts and plane tickets they stopped talking to me. What a big surprise considering they only stay married to that poor man because he gives them a free ride in life. Nothing but moochers. I seriously hope they one day get better because Mark deserves better than what he gets out of them. I do think it's amusing they told Bree that I was scared of Mark though. ROFL Like what is he going to do? Call me and tell me off? LOLOL That's funny shit there considering I'm not afraid of anyone. LOL

Yeah... this is the first time I've ever talked bad about TFT because this is the first time I've had time. I don't make time to write about a lot of things anymore because I have more important things to do. Also I guess this visit with Bree has brought up a few memories of them. I'm glad they're out of my life. My life is more peaceful without the constant whining and moaning and drama and constant triggering. I do find it amusing how they say they wash themselves with steel wool and brillo pads, but there were no scars on their arms. That's totally interesting. I also found it interesting all the walls they've punched, but their knuckles were scar free as they day they were born. Kinda makes me wonder about the rest of their "abuse." Interesting...

Meh... anyway... I'm going finish knitting for the night, and this is probably the last post I'll write about them. It kinda feels good to have this out there. I feel a bit of relief now. So anyway... props to you Sue. You were right about TFT. TheFamilyTrash?? Yeah... good name.

Love My New House!  
Ok... 2 am is the best time EVAH to shampoo carpets. I just finished partially shampooing the carpet in the guest room because Mark's cat Bases decided to piss on it earlier today when we had to lock the cats in the house because the cable guys were here installing the internet. I didn't have time to clear things out of the room to shampoo it until the kids were all in bed. So I just finished, and now I am enjoying a glass of milk and interwebz before crashing out next to Donnie and Sissy.

I am really enjoying all the space the new house gives. I am sitting here in my office while the boys are asleep in their bedrooms down the hall, and Donnie and Sissy are sleeping in our bedroom. I'm still not ready to put Sissy in her own room yet. She still wakes up a good bit at night, and it would be too much to have to get out of bed. It's just easier to keep her there with us. Besides... I like having her there. She's such a sweet baby.

It was so neat to be able to turn the music up downstairs and shampoo the carpet while listening to CMT knowing that everyone was asleep upstairs, and they couldn't even hear me! I love, love, LOVE this new big house! Have I mentioned I really love this new big house?

We finally got the sheds in the backyard  knocked down last weekend, and Donnie cleared all the extra weeds and crap off of the back fence. Tomorrow he's going to hopefully finish cleaning up the yard, check it for nails and other crap so Zachie doesn't hurt his feet, and then he's going to put my clothesline up!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO thrilled about the clothesline! I had an umbrella clothesline at the other house, and that was ok. However, Donnie had me two t-poles made, and he's going to run FOUR lines on it tomorrow so I can dry all the clothes and sheets and diapers and anything I want outside. I love a nice clothesline. Knowing I am saving all that energy really makes me feel good, and I love the smell of clothes fresh from the line.

We've stopped using most of the fancy schmancy diapers, and we're mostly using prefolds, pins, and pockets now. I can't wait to get Sissy's cute wool pants in. I am getting a pair on Sunday, and I got the cutest little set the other day that I bought from my friend Aly. So yay for diapers and wool! So much better than plastic pants. Bleck!

Mark is starting a book group tomorrow on To Kill A Mockingbird. We are caught up  now and to the 8th chapter. He didn't like the book at first, and I told him he'd get into it because it gets better as it goes on. Sure enough... tonight after he finished his chapters he came to me, and he wanted to talk about the book! I just LOVE the fact that he wants to discuss reading! I can't wait until we get started on The Hobbit next. He is really enjoying homeschooling, and it's so fabulous watching him learn. I feel like he's really getting WAY more out of homeschooling than he ever was out of public schooling. Between our internet learning which is teaching him things like math and language arts, and our own supplements that we're doing (extra reading, field trips, Louisiana history this year, and our own science) I think he's really getting much more out of it than he EVER would have at public school. This is just great. I can't wait to get Zachie started next month!

Sissy is 9 months old, and she's a little thing. She just weighs over 18 pounds, and she's a short little sucker. I should have had her measured at her chiro viist today, but I just didn't think about it. I'll get her measured tomorrow because I have to get her inseam measured anyway for some pants that my friend Aundy is making for her. She's already taking steps, and I think she'll be walking within the next few weeks. I cannot believe how much faster she is doing things than the boys. She's already saying mama, dada, hey, look, and bye bye. It's so wonderful watching her develop as a child should develop. Zachary is still having some developmental delays, but we're working through them as they come. He's really a wonderful child.

Ok... this was from a few days ago. I am publishing this, and I am starting a new entry.

Go Go Connecticut!!  
WOOT! Connecticut passed a law allowing same sex marriages! I hope the rest of the country follows suit very soon!

In other news... My internet is still not hooked up at my house. I am at my sister's house spending the night tonight so the kids can play, and I'll be going home tomorrow (unless I spend another night). Zachary was having Leonce withdrawals, and I was having Sara withdrawals so this is a nice evening to chill.

(no subject)  
This is a vent I wrote tonight on a mesage board I like to frequent. I won't name the message board because I don't need crazy stalker fans over there. Bwahahaha.... It got some great responses. I was told at the very least my temper was great for a good laugh. LOL I was just glad that I didn't go off on the plumber while he was here.

We're having a few issues with one of our hot water heaters, and it just happens to be the hot water heater that is used for our master bath where our jacuzzi tub is. EEK! I love that tub! Anyway it's covered under our warranty so no big deal right? WRONG! The plumber is a JACKHOLE! Anyway he's coming back tomorrow, and his redneck ass had BETTER come back with a better attitude otherwise he will feel the wrath of Cel. :insert evil laughing smiley:

Seriously, I already have a plan to be sitting at the table teaching Zachary how to clean the 9 mm or 45 cal, and I might talk to Lil' Mark about heading out to the range to go get some "shootin'" done. He wants to play redneck? Oh... I can play redneck. Gonna have my old cop jacket on chair of the table, wearing my baggy cop pants, with my old duty boots (mah shit keekers - lol), ponytail in a baseball cap, no make up at all, and a big baggy gray t-shirt with maybe a touch of grease from cleaning weapons in the morning. Oh yeah... gonna be a fun morning.

Zachie loves to help clean the weapons anyway so he'll be all excited to help us clean them. I am teaching him respect for them so this will be a good lesson for him tomorrow anyway. He loves the revolver so maybe we'll take that out instead of the .9 mm. Anyway, here's the ventage I wrote. Donnie almost pissed his pants he laughed so hard. He was just like, "Baby, you have the best insults when you're really pissed off." LOL I love a man that understands me and can laugh at me when I'm aggravated instead of cowering away and telling me I'm intimidating, and I shouldn't be like that. He's a man and a half. I love him so much :)

Anyway... here's my ventage.

Dear Mr. Chauvinistic MF'ing Asshole Lazy Dickwad Plumber,

First of all, I feel better already for calling you a few dirty names. Second of all, who the fuck do you think you are that you can come into MY home, talk down to me using your "little woman southern accent," act like I don't know anything about plumbing (I was married to a plumber for 5 years and worked beside him thankyouverymuch), and try to make me believe that water is not clear.

Yes... I do realize that the water in the local bayous the water is not clear. DUH. However, I have lived my life in this area for the past 13 years with crystal clear water running into my house. Water should NOT be the color of green tea when it runs into your bathtubs and sinks. Sorry... don't buy it, jackhole.

Your employer will be receiving a call as soon as I am able to utter a word other than a curse word, and he will be informed of your bad attitude and chauvinistic demeanor.

Oh also.... YES my warranty DOES pay for improper installations so that means you DO have to do the paperwork for the improper installation of the faucets and valves in our shower. I know this because it says so on my paperwork AND I also called the warranty company. So shut your pie hole you fucking lazy chauvinist dickwad of a wretched cow that gave birth to her own cud. I am NOT a stupid, ignorant woman.

With lots of love,
A pissed off customer
