Tuesday Ten

                                                          TUESDAY TEN


(ok this is my 1st tuesday ten so bear with me as i'm just winging this)

1. I'm hoping that i'm not the only parent on the planet that looks at their child and mentally says what the heck is your name. i'm pretty convinced that my children have driven me to a level of insanity that makes me forget their names and i have to actually think about it before i open my mouth. if thats not it them i'm a prime canadate
for medical testing on alzheimer's in the 30's.

2. It still sickens me to read on facebook, people that i know for a fact struggle to pay their bills and feed their kids (esp those with special needs) and keep a roof over their head, buying 300 dollar phones and buying lottery tickets. What good is a damn cell phone if your kids have to sleep in the damn minivan due to the huge foreclosure sign in your front yard. 

3. Since we have been moving we have had a bunch of people in and out of our townhouse...and by our i just mean we rent it. I was nice enough to show people around since my landlord doesnt live close and would be hard for him to show the place...however i wish he would screen some of these people 1st. I just want to say what do you expect from a rental house thats over 15 years old...if you want the damn Taj Mahal either buy out Trump or move to India (please tell me thats where the damn thing is). However dont judge me as a person for this place...i just rented it ok.

4. Wonders if i'm really as anti social as my inlaws make me out to be. I dont mind hanging out and making new friends and stuff like that i just dont want to be part of the PTA and shit like that. I dont want to be a home room parent...truth be told i dont really like most kids..i mean i like mine and i like most of my friends kids ( hey some of my friends have given birth to demons) however there are a few kids that just drive me crazy. must be due to my low tolerance levels and little patience. I'm not your typical parent and i give me kids cookies and cake and let them be kids...like i said i would love to be the ideal parent but i'm to busy raising my kids. 

5. OK enough negative...gives me a headache anyways. I want to personally thank the person that came up with On Demand...OMG this has saved my sanity in so many ways. I hate video stores/red box lines....so now i can just sit in my gym shorts and tank top and watch what i want when i want. I love the free shows they have for the kids...nothing beats 18 free episodes of Blues Clues, Mickey and Imagination Movers...sometimes i can sneek in a nap. 

6. Is anyone else out there worried about bed bugs...seems me have some miniature epidemic out there just crawling in our beds and couches. Who knew it was so costly to get rid of the little creatures. Plus now i'm paranoid to sleep anywhere or go on vacation...has anyone seen a bed bug...they look like mini cockroaches...oh i think i threw up a little in my mouth...i hate bugs...yuck. 

7. My twins discovered chocolate goldfish crackers...i must admit super yummy. With my picky eaters i'll take whatever i can get...its better than cold hot dogs at 8 am let me tell ya. 

8. I'm so very ready for the new shows to start this fall...so tired of repeats and dumb summer shows they put on. I will say that I wish they would let people know when they cancel a show...nothing pisses me off more when i wait for a show only to find out (after a 3 hour internet search) that its been sent to tv show heaven. I liked when they would actually let shows have a series finale. 

9. I wonder if my neighbors think i'm a total alcoholic...we have been packing stuff in boxes from the liquor store since they are sturdy and free...however every time i open my garage all you see is boxes of what looks like wine and liquor. Maybe i should start slurring my words and staggering around...lords knows this neighborhood needs something else to talk about...lol. 

10. Well this wasnt as easy as i thought it would be since everyone says i'm so opinionated. However it was fun and i enjoyed it...i might try to make it a weekly thing. Peace out cub scouts...have a great day.

If this is HEALTHY then i'm ok with being FAT

Ok i hope we all can see this pic...sorry its not bigger but thats the best i could do stealing it from TMZ.com.

I'm hoping someone can please explain this to me...TMZ seems to think that Kelly Ripa is FIT....are you fing kidding me. We wonder why our kids grow up with such warped images of what is right in the eyes of everyone. This is not normal by any means..i mean i can see her rib cage...her hips are sunken...she looks like shes starving. 

I think i actually read a comment that said well maybe shes starring in a new movie...about survivors of German death camps. ( please note i mean nothing bad about survivors)

Just kills me to think that people think that is what a woman should look like. I am by no means where i want to be..i know i need to loose a few pounds but heres the deal with that...i have curves and i love them and by no means do i want to look like a twig. someone please feed that girl something with high calories....hell i'll force feed her some cake and cookies and chips.

 

My farewell to PA...a little early

Well since I may loose internet before I have a change to say goodbye I figured what a better time...ok really i'm damn tired of packing and i still have half a day tomorrow to use my husband like a pack mule. 

So here is my thanks to this great state in no particular order....

Thank you to all the jerks, assholes and mean people in general for making my 2 years here such a blessing..i appreciated all the backstabbing, lying and generally making me feel like a worthless human being...and thats just the people that share my last name. 

Thank you to my sons school for misdiagnosing him and for making me regret getting a land line. Thank you for treating him like an animal and for making me feel like a horrible mother in general. 

Thank you PA winter for dumping over 6 feet of snow over the course of 3 months...reminds me why I left Alaska in the 1st place. 

Thank you to my landlord for allowing  stupid jack asses to come by to check out the place...cause i enjoy the constant fear that some jerkwad will pillage my village and murder me in my sleep while my children sleep across the hall. FYI...Craigslist doesnt do a free scan to see if the respondant to your ad isnt a felon. 

Thank you to my "friends" for using me....and not in a good way...i wont go in to that cause i'm sure NOONE has that kind of free time. 

Thank you to the jerk off that ran me off the road that one time and to this day my minivan still doesnt run right...i tried to let it go but it just still pisses me off. 

Thank you mostly to the people that "claimed" they would make my stay here a pleasant one and that they would help me to fit in and give me the kind of "family" i so longed for and was envious of most people for. yeah we all see how well that turned out...what a crock of shit. 

Thank you however to the very few and i mean few..like amount i can count on one hand...that did give me some great memories here. I will take those friendships with me and if the state does get swallowed by a huge sink hole i will make sure you are safe. 

Thank you to my husband for showing me how to build up a thick skin and for eventually finding a great job and moving us out of this hell hole. 

ok well thats all i got...i do promise that not all of my blogs will be rants...i do have positive things to talk about..i promise i do...no really i do...i swear.

Well to start things off...

Well i would like to say that i was inspired to do this from a great friend i have on facebook. i'm not nearly as cleaver or as funny as she is but i figured what the heck lets go and give this a shot...i'm sure everyone is just chomping at the bit to know what a mom of 3 crazy boys does daily...play along guys its give me warm fuzzies ok. 

i always hate to start with a rant..ok who am i kidding i love to bitch...i guess it makes me who i am. so if i offend you by my posting well you really have 2 choices you can no longer read what i write or you can post your own opinion and i will take your opinion into consideration. (that means i will read what you write and if it upsets me i will promtly delete it..cause i'm cool like that)

ok so being a mom of 3 boys that spend all day saying "i want, i want, i want" to EVERY commercial they see i find my wallet to be strained these days...cause here's a shocker, diapers arent free and neither is food. ok so my point..yes i'm getting there....is that how is it that my husband makes great money..hey i wont lie, he does...and yet we still struggle. then i realized we have been doing it all wrong..took me hanging out with some less fortunate people to realize that. so i will tell you have to live like a king on little to know money...here goes. 

problem...want that new cell phone that everyone has but your rent/mortgage is due..solution....DONT PAY YOUR RENT?MORTGAGE...even though you maybe homeless in a few months at least you will have that cool IPhone to get you through the rough nights of sleeping in the street.

problem...my kids want to eat this week but the neighbor just got Fios and it looks so cool...solution...call up cable company and order the most expensive package you can get...the kids were looking a little on the plump side anyways and if they are really hungry the neighbors will feed them. 

problem....my water/electricity/oil/phone was shut off and its still 5 days til payday and i dont have enough money to turn it back on....solution...just write a rubber check and then go out shopping/movies/buy lottery tickets cause you only live once right.

well thats all the problems i can think of while my 2 year old twins shout at me to turn the DVR to Blues Clues...cause after 4 hours of that i'm still mostly sane. i'm off to finish packing up my almost empty house....can i just say that i hate packing and wish to NEVER do it again...and by never i mean me personally...next time i will hire the chip n dale dancers to come in and pack up my house...at least the view will be nice from my couch.
