HUH

So, I just put the last of the kids to bed. She, one of the middle children, with the personality of a baby, had girl scouts tonight. I know that I haven't been nice enough to keep you up to date with the craziness that is our brownie girl scout troop. I honestly try not to think about it on a regular basis. We have had some 'issues' this year that I'd just like to forget and move past. I will now, however, have to fill you in on one of the mothers that basically accused me of abusing her child in a cafeteria full of people.

This was at the end of February and I apologized for any misunderstanding stating that I was most definitely not intending the hurt the child, only protect her from being walked on my a very big man carrying a box that blocked his view of this young girl. Well, this mom and I have had words, well, ok, she had words and I worked very hard to keep my words to myself. At that time I explained to the leader of the troop that I would no longer be considered a leader, I was not going to be 'in-charge' of other peoples children.

This mom has been very hot and cold with me since then. We went on a trip the the USS Lexington two weekends ago and mom did not go with. Just sent her daughter with us. She starts texting me asking me about daughter. Well, I end up having daughter call mom and that's that. Haven't seen either of them since.

On to the meeting tonight...I was late. Had to send the man with the baby middle child because I was watching the neighbors infant. When I finally come to the meeting I see this mom with another mom that I am not particularly fond of so I walk over to some other moms. Well, before the night is over I'm talking to the two moms-we're sitting on the floor in the hallway at the school because there was a meeting in the cafeteria-our normal meeting place-and crazy mom says to me, "I'm on a new med!"

Huh, I said, do you like it? Seriously, how do you respond to something like that? Seriously...

Can I just say that I guess that explains a lot of the behavior. She's got to have bi-polar or something. That would really explain why she comes in cussing some days and sweet and soft other meetings.

Life, maybe, I'm the crazy one? and she's normal? taking meds to make her normal? I used to get so angry when someone would ask me if I'd been taking my meds. Yah, f-you, whatever! You don't ask someone that?!@

I feel like crying. This blog that I've been following for a few years off and on has just closed itself to the public. OUCH. I never wrote to this mom cause I never had anything worthwhile to say but I looked up her blog at least once a week to see what life she was going to make me laugh at this time. Even when I didn't take time to continue to write in my own blog I'd look this mom up. Once a week, catch up with her and read post secret.

I'm sad and I don't know how in the world to get a hold of her to say 'hey, I wanna keep reading and I'm not going to be a troll and just be mean...I just need to keep up with the peeps.' So, if anyone knows the blog, bite my cookie, tell me how to get a hold of the author. I want to send an email so I can keep reading. Somebody's gotta hook a girl up. Help me out.

My baby

Typed this up yesterday. It didn't post and most of it was lost so I'll try again. I want to be able to tell my kids how cute they were when they were babies.

Ok, so I've been having a blast with the baby these days. She woke up from her nap just now and when I walked in her room to get her (yah, she's still all trapped in the bed cause we NEVER TOLD her it was ok to get out of the big girl bed) she told me that she has a surprise for me. I was nervously excited since she's decided to start gifting me her boogers lately. She asked me if I wanted to 'way down' with her so I got in the bed. She had her hands closed together and handed me my 'gift'. When I reached out to accept it there was nothing there. I asked her what it was and she replied "a pwesent fow yow". She was also nice enough to give me a kiss and cuddle. I love that she loves.

Has it really been that LONG???

I've been meaning to get on here one of these days to make a little noise. I've needed a place to vent and feel that my poor husband should not have to tolerate my rantings on his own every single day. Sometimes I just need someplace to dump some garbage and move on. That's all a girl's saying.

So, life, kinda kept on moving. Right on, with me just riding the current. I'm still fat. I'm still the mom to many kids. That stuff's all the same. Different...attitude, view of life, view of God and all that is God.

Unfortunately I have to do some mommy/wifey things and go balance the checkbook. I'll be coming back. I have to crap some stuff soon or the wrong person is going to get an earfull.

So, um, things have been a little 'strange' in my world lately. Nothing too crazy. Just busy-ness on a pretty regular basis. I don't have the link to this page saved in my laptop so I only get on this site when I'm at the desktop which seems to be less and less.

Baby is going through a wonderful little phase these days. She's found her 'screaming' voice and she likes to use it. My big kids just keep getting bigger. I am only about two inches taller than my son. He's still trying to find his sense of humor and it gets frustrating some days. He likes to make smart ass comments about anything and everything. His sisters get tired of it too and they let him know. My oldest daughter got to take a trip to NASA in Houston with her girl scout troop a few weekends ago. While she had a great time she told me that she never wants to be that far away from me again. Miss Morgana needs more sleep on a regular basis or she's just cranky. She turned seven on Ap. 11. Time truly does fly sometimes.

Diet wise I'm stuck. I am now comfortably in my size 16 bottoms and XL tops. I can squeeze into a pair of 14 jeans that I have. And I will wear them out in public. I'm just at the point where I'm ready to be done. I'm done 'dieting'. I wanna live and eat. Know what I mean? I'm still losing but it's getting slower and slower all the time.

Anyway, that's my world right now. Just trying to keep up with everything that's been going on these days. The older my kids get the more there is to do.

Good morning

Okay, afternoon maybe. It's noon and so far today I've showered...well, that's about it. I've been catching up on my one board. Things are crazy there. Some people seem to just want to cause drama. I'm glad I'm not part of it.

Kids don't have school today so I think we'll be finding something to do once the baby gets up from her nap. Maybe a park if it's warm enough by then. I suppose it just depends on how late she naps. I've got to get kids showered and what not tho. So I guess we'll see.

Not much going on in the household. Drama with my fam in IN. Just trying to stay out of it. My sister is a mess. She seems to think that she can blame life mistakes on being the youngest and not being 'perfect'. Honey, ain't no one perfect so stop the blame. She just doesn't want to take responsibility for decisions she's made in her life. And I think that everyone in the family is done dealing with it.

Okay, gonna go make a salad!

Been awhile

Ok, so it's been awhile since I've written in here. Things have been so-so. I feel very wishy washy lately. Very up and then very down. We got our taxes deposited today so I'm feeling very happy. My husband got a raise at work so I'm feeling happy.

I can't seem to sleep at night so I'm tired. I want to sleep in the day and all I do is lay in bed thinking about all the things I should be doing.

So, what is going on here in my home? My kids are huge. I think my son is almost eye to eye with me. Not very comforting. The boy will be taller than me in no time.

We are planning on visiting IN this summer. Hub requested time off from work so we can ALL go. This will be our first real vacation together! I'm pretty excited about that.

One of my cyber buddies is coming to visit me sometime in March. That SOOOO gives me something to look forward to!

Ok, gotta go pay some bills!
