Well it is official I am old. 31 if you must know. To celebrate we went to dinner at Chilis. It was not much but I have been feeling pretty shitty all weekend, I had a rough Friday day and was in pain and nauseated all day sat. We actually cancelled dinner with Kara & Duane 2 times on sat and finally at 5 I felt like getting up and going to town. I was swayed by the thought of the Southwest Egg rolls the damn things are addicting. Here are a few pictures of us at dinner, notice how round my face is gotta love the steroids.



In other news we had our first winter storm Friday night-sat afternoon, we ended up with 2inch ice + 4 inch snow + 3 more inches of ice on top. Made for heavy as hell to shovel and clogged the snow blower. I went out and helped Brent & Sue do the driveways and sidewalks. I got to run the snow blower for a awhile and I did shovel some snow. I was STARVING after that so we uncancelled dinner and got ready to go out. The roads sucked but I have 4 wheel drive and got around pretty good. I got to drive to town so Brent finally was able to ride in my new Explorer.

Have a good day everyone!!!

Please take a moment today and say a prayer of peace and comfort for Ursula, Ignacio, Sofia and Alexia's entire family. Last night Alexia passed away, finally free from the beast of cancer definitly not the outcome I have prayed for. 2 1/2 years ago when I met this little warrior I told her story to my Patho II class and there was not a dry eye left when I was done. She was a true inspiration and her brief life touched so many others.

Little Princess you will be missed.....fly high sweet girl!!!

Prayers Please......

It is not often that I ask anyone for favors but today I need ALL of you to say a prayer or a 100 for a special little girl. Alexia is coming to the end of her 3 year battle with cancer she is currently in the PICU in Duke Univ. hospital. Amazingly she is not showing any blasts (cancer cells) in her blood but is suffering from high blood pressure, kidney failure and respitory distress due to bleeding in her lungs. This little one is a true warrior and has fought long and hard, I am asking you all to pray for no more pain and suffering for her and peace for her wonderful parents Ursula & Ignacio they are amazing.

Please take a minute today and say a prayer maybe visit her site and leave some words for her family. I know Ursula reads them all and appreciates the support.

Holiday Hell

Only a few days before Thanksgiving….where the hell did the year go? I cannot believe it is already the holiday season what a bummer that 2007 went so fast. What a crock of shit that I will be 31 in 13 days I am freaking old.

This year for the holidays I do not even know….I am at a loss for words for the first time in 5 years I am only cooking for Brent, his dad, Bill and the kids. Not one of my family members will come to dinner at my house because of Brent. He has pretty much lost any support from my family with his actions and behavior over the past year. Last night my sister called and was pretty upset and told me I should tell them all to “Go eat a fucking turkey sandwich and let us have our normal holiday”. She refuses to come out here and that is killing me. I will miss being with my family. The laughter, the love, the bitching, beating up my little brother and having them all here. I usually cook for 20-30 people and we generally invite all our friends out for wine and pie in the evening. It is going to be a lonely holiday….I am really sad.

I tried to explain the dynamic behind this to a friend of mine it is pretty much like the female mafia either you are in or you are out and if you get booted out you will never get back in. I hate to say it but partially because of this my marriage is dead in the water. I cannot be with someone who disrespects my family and whose actions have caused my family to despise him.

Oh holly jolly hell the holidays are going to be a gas. Please pass the Shiraz it is going to be a LONG 7 weeks.

Dear Mr President

Awesome song...............

Pink-Dear Mr President

Laughable shit for the day!

There are times in your life as a parent that you just need to stop and say “Oh Shit” well yesterday was one of them.

We had a teacher comp day so the kids were out at 1, I got out the craft supplies and told them to make some stuff while I laid down for an hour. Well during the time I was sleeping one of the girls (not mine) wrote a note to her boyfriend that was pretty graphic. I let them go up to the skate park when I got up so I could clean up and I found IT.

I being the immature person I am read the note and had to call Traci and share with her, we were howling with laughter for bout 15 min. Then Traci said OMG call her mother and give her the note. This is where things get even funnier because I not only have the youngest 4th grader in school I am the youngest parent of a 4th grader in our school district. I get a lot of shit about being the “Baby” and I am 30. I called her mother and went down to her house to give her the note.

I will add the entire time I was there I had to pinch myself to keep from busting up laughing. I know I am so immature and the situation would not be as funny if it was my kid….but it wasn’t and I think it is fucking funny. Her momma Lori was reading the cute side of the note and was looking at me like I was crazy for being concerned so I told her “Damn woman flip that shit over and read the good stuff”

How to have sex
By a 5th grader age 10
Step 1-Make out with our girlfriend
Step2-5 Take your clothes off
Step 6-Get into bed
Steps 7-10-Take your girlfriends clothes off
Step 11- Put your penis in her peach
Step 12-Bump her until she moans
Step 13-Then you sperm


Oh my I am laughing so hard now that I spilled my coffee, the girl that wrote it is here now waiting to walk to school with my girls so that just makes it even funnier to me. She is so embarrassed to even face me. I had to have the “Talk” with my girls last night because they both had gotten there information from the school playground. My version of the sex talk was basically adding to the steps.

Step 1-Be 18
Step 2- Be in love
Step 3- Go to the Dr for special medicine to have safe sex

I think I did a pretty good job of explaining it, to bad a 5th grader trumped me with the details. Like I told her mom at least the kids are learning the basics and nothing freaky. Ok I need to shut up now before I spend the entire day laughing about this.

Morning music for today……
