About me

I was trying to come up w/ a list of 100 things about me, and I only got to 24.. I'm going to give you what I have, and maybe extend the list at another time. I'm lame :)

1. I'm married, happily, for the last 6 years
2. I have 3 kids. Max is 5 ½, Avery is almost 4, and Jade is 7 months.
3. I'm a stay home mom.
4. I'm loyal
5. I can't lie, which I must say, at times, sucks. I've always been a terrible liar. I just can't do it. Even in my teen years, I think I only lied to my mom twice, but then felt so guilty, I fessed up.
6. I LOVE music, of all kids. Some of my favorites- Patsy Cline, Janis Joplin, Ella Fitzgareld, Pearl Jam, The Doors, Hank Williams Jr, Aerosmith
7. I once met Aerosmith, I chased them all over town, until I finally met up with them. Steven Tyler kissed me, and even made up a song about me on the spot. One of my many highlights.
8. I met Tori Amos once too. But that wasn't planned. Me, Chicken and another friend were bored on a Friday night. We decided to get all dressed up, and drive to Chicago (3 hours from here), with no money I might add. We were having a great time on Michigan Avenue, watching street performers, and she was just standing there, right next to us. She invited us to her show the following week and U of M, which we went to, again without money, or tickets. She was kind enough to hook us up. It was a good show. Oh, and on the way home from Chicago, we didn't have money for the toll roads. Ha! They had to write us little tickets to mail in. Fun Fun.
9. I love to sing. I'm bad at it, but I love it. And not just sing, but LOUDLY sing.
10. I love to dance, again, I'm not good at it.
11. I can cook, that I'm pretty good at
12. I got my very first dirt bike at 8. Not a fan of street bikes, but I can tear it up on a dirt bike.
13. I love dogs, and desperately want one. My hubs however, doesn't share the same desire.
14. my very best friend, Chickenis dating my brother. Kind of weird at first, but I'm all about it now!
15. I'm close to my family. Mama's girl all the way.
16. I'm a Christian
17. I have 2 tattoos. A sun on my shoulder, and a dragonfly on my back.
18. I used to have questionable piercings, 3 of them.
19. I used to drink a lot. I think I was on the alcoholic edge.
20. I grew up in a broken home w/ alcoholic parents, and then a abusive, drug addicted step-dad.
21. I have 3 dads, and 4 siblings, that includes step of course.
22. I used to be a pot head. It was my favorite pass time.
23. Besides my hubs, I only really had a few real boyfriends. There were other guys, but not really any that I had a real relationship with. And by relationship, I mean that we were together for awhile, longer than a few months, and were involved w/ each others family and friends.
24. I love to read. Anything. I think I've read 50-60 books this year.

She ate soap

I've been blogging a lot recently about my troubles w/ my daughter. And they continue. I'm at a loss. I don't know what else to do about her. I threw all her toys away last week, so there is nothing left for me to take away. And she still doesn't care that they're gone. It didn't bother her that I packed up every toy she owned and threw them out. Time outs bother her a little, but not enough to change her behavior. Spanking don't work, they just make her more angry... Last night, she had to pick up her room. She changes her clothes 20 times a day, so they were everywhere. I don't expect much, just for her to put them in a pile. She was having a FIT. Yelling, crying, stomping her feet, spitting. She kept coming out of her room to holler. I kept my cool. I told her to stay in there till she picked up her things, and that's it, no more talking, bottom line. So she gets really angry, and yells "NOOOOOOOO, I DON'T WANT TO! YOU ARE AN UGLY MOM!" Where in the hell does she get this stuff? That put me over the edge. I scooped her up, plopped her on the counter, and made her swish dish soap. Man she was out of control. Screaming, spitting, crying. After her swish, I put her in her room, on her bed, forced her to look at me and told her that she may NOT talk to me like that. She said "that soap made my nose hurt funny!" and I said "Good, maybe you'll think about that before the next time you say something filthy!!!" So I left her in her room. She was really yelling in there. She was so worked up she peed her pants and her bed. She came out crying to tell me. I sent her back w/o caring, for another 5 minutes till her time out was over. When her time out was finished, I got her in the tub and threw her bedding and clothes in the wash. I just don't know.. I don't believe I'm too hard on her, but I don't let her get away w/ shit either. Where am I going wrong? I don't understand why she is the way she is. I cried last night. About her, about me, about feeling as though I'm failing as a mother. She's rotten. I love her, but I don't like her at all right now. That makes me feel terrible. I just don't know... Something has to give, and let's hope its not my sanity.
I was trying to explain to hubs last night how I've been feeling. Its somewhere along the lines of "small, inadequate, ineffective, and unimportant." I started thinking about my family. The responsibility is weighing heavy on me. On one hand its nice to be needed, but on the other, damn. Can I get a minute? I'm so involved w/ my kids, and my hubs, and spending every waking minute taking care of them, that I've lost myself. Separate from my family, who is Misty? I don't know anymore. I suppose that's the way it's suppose to be, but can't I be just a tiny bit selfish? I'm sure the answer to that is no.
When I was younger, I had all sorts of big dreams. I wanted to be in the FBI, and to be a journalist for the New York Times. lol. I wonder who I would be, if I were not mom and wife. I'm sure I wouldn't be doing either of those 2 things. I don't want to make it seem like I'm not thankful for my hubs, or my kids, b/c I am. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Is it possible to be a mom, a wife, and keep some of yourself around? Doesn't seem like it. I generally don't mind the responsibility of my family, but when things get hard like this, really hard, I want to run away. I don't want the pressure of making good decisions so they'll turn out to be good decent citizens. I don't want to discipline them. I want to play with them and let them do what makes them happy. I don't want to think about the laundry, or what to make for supper. I thought about getting a job, a full time job. But that's no good either. I don't want someone else to raise them, but at the moment, I don't want to either.

Random

The weather here is crazy. It snowed non-stop for a few days. It was so cold on Thursday and Friday, that it hurt to inhale outside. Then yesterday, it warmed up again, and everything melted. It's in the 50's today, and raining. What? I don't get it. Pick a season. Flippn' Michigan.

I went shopping Friday morning. It was my first time for black Friday. I left my house w/ a friend at 4:30 am. The first stop wasn't bad, but the second, was madness! People were pushing, crowding, and cussing each other out. I stood in the check out line for an hour and 45 minutes. I didn't mind though. I made some new friends, sang some songs, and played a few games, all w/ the other strangers in line. Not too bad :) Did you hear about the Wal-Mart stampede, right here in MI at our local store? Crazy bitches. Glad I didn't go there. Sales make old hags go banana's. I don't know that I will be going next year. I'm going to finish up all my shopping online now. Oh, except for one trip to an outlet mall w/ friends.

Hubs took off Saturday to go deer hunting. I was bored out of my mind. I played UNO, Connect Four, and did umpteen million puzzles w/ the kids to try and pass the time. It didn't work. All of the friends that I would have liked to hung out w/ were gone, or ditched me. I was feeling a bit detached, and lonely. The house was so empty. Thankfully, my kids were well behaved, and they got a kick out of all the games we played that day. I was so excited when hubs finally got home- although he left me again shortly there after, and I spent another evening alone. I didn't mind as much though, because I knew hubs would be home to crawl into bed w/ me. I don't know why I was so needy on Saturday, I'm generally not. At all. The worst part of being needy that day was that none of my friends that I so adore, were there for me. It's not often where I feel like I need to lean on someone. I'm pretty self sufficient. But the one time I do feel like needing to lean, there was no one there for me. I'm still feeling a little detached. Like I don't want to call any of my friends today, kind of like- if they are interested in chatting, I'll let them call me. It's dumb I know. I'll get over it.

I get to clean another house this week! Its about time, I need the money. This house won't be near as gross as the last one, and I'll be getting paid better. Woohoo. Other good news for the week, hubs and I get to go out twice this week. Yep, twice! We are going out to dinner w/ my in laws tonight, and Thursday is his work Christmas party. I can't believe its already that time of year again. Every weekend from now till Christmas, we have something going on. The holidays are going to fly right by us. I love Christmas. Its my favorite time of the year. My little girl will turn 4 in a few weeks as well. 4?! Man. I better get on that shopping! Good day!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow...

Its coming. Snow up to our ears. They (the blasted weather men) are predicting 6-12 inches for parts of MI tomarrow, w/ gusts of wind up to 50 mph. It started snowing early this morning, and hasn't really quit- and won't. It's kind of not quite snow- more like rain at the moment, and that will make the roads fantastic for traveling tomarrow. Thankfully, we don't have far to go. We'll shall see if mr. weatherman gets it right.
The baby is still refusing a bottle. That's ok though. I can stick it out, i can hang :) I think my milk supply is coming back up now too. I was a little concerned, but seems alright now, or at least getting there.
My 2 older kids are both spending the night at different grandparents house's. WOOOOHOOOO! That's the best. Both of them haven't been gone over night at the same time in at least a year. I'm excited! I'm going to get some cooking done for tomarrow, some more never-ending-laundry, and some housework, play some cards, and spend some "quality time" w/ my hubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's going to be a great night!

My naughty girl has been getting better. She refused to dance at her dance class yesterday, which was a first, so I let it go. I had things to do anyway. But the rest of the day, she was good. And this morning went smoothly as well. Yay! I hope she keeps it up. I've been giving her lots of praise for being good, I hope it lasts for a while.
My baby's 2nd tooth broke through. In the last week, I've been giving her a few bottles a day, so my milk supply has gone done, which was my intention. From Sunday night through all night last night, she absolutely refused a bottle. Anytime I would try to give her one, she would fuss, and push it away w/ both hands. I nursed her every 2 hours all sunday night, and all day yesterday. I felt awful. Here she was so hungry, and I only had so much to give her. I think I started something... For some reason, on Sunday night, I was just feeling clingy to her, like I HAD to be close to her. I let her sleep w/ me, and that's something that I never do. She was cuddled up close to my chest, and she kept waking up, wanting to nurse. I think it was b/c she could smell me. I'm not sure where my clingy feeling came from. Guilt? Hormones? I don't know. But it was sweet. I woke up to her making her hungry noise, and her hands trying to get at my breast. So I fed her, whenever she wanted, all night long. Oops. I'm guessing that had something to do w/ her refusing a bottle all day long. Then last night, b/c she wasn't well fed, she kept waking up. I let her go for a while, hoping she would fall back asleep on her own, but she didn't. Finally at 4 am, while she was at the breast, I slipped a bottle to her, and she took it. Phew. I did that again this morning, knowing my milk was low, and it worked. Now I don't know what I should do again. I think I'm going to pick up some fenugreek and try to increase my supply, and perhaps just stick w/ breastfeeding. We'll see.
Today is laundry day. I'm letting the rest of my house go to hell, and I'm just going to concentrate on laundry. I can't remember when I was so behind. I always have a few loads waiting, but right now, I think I have like 15 or something. I'm going to keep track of how many I do.
I have to get some groceries for Thanksgiving today too. We are getting together w/ hubs side of the family- should be fun. This was the most boring post ever. But whaever- the burden has been lifted. Happy day all.

Naughty

Rough Weekend. My daughter is out to get to me. I'm sure of it. The last week, she's been awful! I don't like feeling nasty towards my kids. Life is much smoother when I enjoy them, or her rather. I don't know what it is. Season change maybe? She was in her room forever saturday morning, she was suppose to clean it. But she kept making up excuses, throwing fits, being a brat. So it came down to "Pick up these toys, or mommy's going to throw them away". Know what she said? "Good! I'll help you throw them away! I'm glad they are going!" Rotten rotten rotten. I'm true to my word though, so I packed them all in garabage bags, and put them out. For some reason, she thinks that its not a big deal, cause Santa is coming to bring her more in a few weeks. Hubs told her that Santa doesn't bring toys to bad listeners. So then it kind of dawned on her that perhaps, she might not get more. I must say, that if things keep up as they are, she ain't getting shit. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm fresh out. I was so emotionally drained, that I went to bed at 745p Saturday night. I can only handle so much, and recently, my lovely daughter is killing me. I hope this is only a phase, and not a preview of her teen years. Other stuff happened on Sat. as well, but I'm too tired to drag it all out, so I'll save it for later. Help me! I'm open to any ideas or suggestions to get my 4 yr old to behave! I can't believe she's driving me this mad, and she's only nearly 4. Mom of the Year....... ............

HNT First Snow

So on Tuesday night, the weather man predicted a "light dusting" that prly wouldn't stick. Does this look like a light dusting to you? Light dusting my ass. By last night, we were under a winter advisory for 3-6 inches of lake effect snow. The roads were terrible this morning. Main roads were good, but all the side roads were on big sheet of ice. And, being the ever prepared mom of the year that I am, I had to rush to the store this morning for snow boots and such. My windshield wipers were frozen this morning for an entire hour, which made driving on the treacherous roads a pure joy. My kids are so excited though! We've been listening to Christmas music all day in celebration of the snow. I'm hoping that the snow will melt still, again, being ever prepared, all the kids outdoor toys are still outside and need to be packed away. Have a happy HNT!

Damn kids. Or damn daughter rather.

I sometimes wonder if my beautiful almost-4-yr-old was given to me to try to destroy my sanity. She has been following me around all day, whining, messing up my stuff, complaining, clinging, ignoring me, or just flat out disobeying me. She has been doing crap all day that she KNOWS she isn't suppose to do. BRAT. And being the mom of the year that I am, I told her she was a rotten little girl, and to go to bed. I NEVER ever say stuff like that to my kids, even if I may be thinking it, I don't say stuff like that. Ooops. Strike one, mom. She has been demanding today " MOM! I WANT A COOKIE" All my kids get when they say that is a time out. No thank you mouth. Then she was climbing up the cupboards, and opening the fridge, other no no's. I was picking up after the little snots earlier, and I had stacked up all of their coloring pages. No sooner than I had turned around, she had scattered them all over the floor, purposely. Later in the day, I had folded laundry sitting on the floor, and she kicked it over. And I can't count how many times I said "Put that down, NO, shut the door, get back here, use your words, or STOP IT" today. My blood pressure rose at least 25 points today, I'm sure of it. I wonder if she's being naughty cause hubs is gone hunting... I'm glad he comes home tonight. Oh, and she has an overwhelming desire to change her clothes 28 times a day. I had asked her 12 fucking times today to leave her clothes on. And I still had to ask her to put them back on 6 different times. I don't care if we don't have company, or are on our way out, which we were both today. I cannot STAND that. I find her clothes sprawled out across the house all day l o n g. And she doesn't just change a shirt, or her pants, all the way down to her socks and panties. I'M FLIPPN SICK OF PICKING UP AFTER THESE LITTLE MONSTERS. I feel a strike coming on.

what to do...

Morning. Monday again. My hubs is leaving today for deer camp :( I'll be a hunting widow this week, and for every weekend for the next 3. I think I'm going to miss him more this year. I'm always sad when he goes, but its good for him. He needs that week away to sit in the woods, drink beer w/ the guys, and freeze his ass off. Besides, it gives him some time to miss me :)

The weekend was good. We went out for hubs bday on Saturday night, and that was fun. I didn't bowl very good(well right), but I had some great sing-a-longs w/ Chicken. It was a good time, and hubs had a blast. Yesterday was full of family time, and naps :) I love those days. It was cold, gross, and really really WINDY yesterday. A great day to stay inside and cuddle.

I think I'm ready to phase out nursing. My sweet baby has been giving me trouble. She hasn't really been interested in nursing in the last few weeks, I believe its called a "nursing strike", and from what I hear, is pretty common. But at this stage, when she doesn't nurse well, it effects my milk supply, and I can't pump hardly anything anymore, even if I try at a normal feeding time. So my milk supply is has gone down, and now at feeding time, instead of it being a relaxing joyful time w/ my baby, I get stressed wondering if its going to work- which effects my let down reflex. Its a hard decision for me. I'm over 1/2 done, my baby has been only breastfed up to this point. I could try to rough it out, if its that important to me. But I don't know if it is. Then I start to feel guility about it. We are now in the middle of cold/flu season, and nursing really helps babies stay healthy. Not to mention the benefits nursing has for me. Then I feel guility some more b/c I'm not really taking as good of care of myself for her- I've started drinking caffine, cut down on water, and some other things, so then I wonder, if I'm not taking the best possible care of myself, is breast still best? Then I feel bad for nursing- crap. My breasts have seen better days..... I wouldn't mind them springing back a tad bit. And my body has pretty much belonged to my baby for the last year and 1/2, it might be nice to have it back. I don't know. I don't want to just stop nursing right now. I don't want to upset her, and I'm also emotionally attached to it. I guess I could still nurse part of the time, and give her formula the other. But I know once I start w/ regular bottles, it will only be a matter of time until she will lose intrest completely in nursing. Bottles are easier and quicker for her too. I'm proud of myself for lasting this long, I didn't w/ my other 2 kids. Ideas, opinions, anyone? Not sure what to do...

I'm pooped.

Runaway friend and her kids left today. They've been here since Thursday afternoon. We had a good time. We took our kids to see 'Dragon Tales Live' on Thursday night. The kids loved it, but I must say, that was the lamest 2 hours of my life. It was horrible! At least for the grown ups. There was one scene that they went into the 'dandelion forrest', so the stage was dark, w/ black lights, and the backdrop had paintings of flowers on it. Well, there were these 'dandelion' singers that came out of the back drop. The costume they were wearing looked like GIANT pot leafs. Course, preschoolers aren't going to know what that was, but I sure got a chuckle out of it. Why do they put that stuff in kid shows/movies? Isn't there some type of penis displayed in every disney movie? Whaever..
I'm exhausted. I watched R.A.F. kids all day yesterday so she could take care of some stuff around town, and thankfully, her kids were GREAT for me. But when she's around, they're terrible! They scream blood-curdling screams, cry, fight, yell, disobey her- its awful. Why do you suppose that is? I'm sure it has something to do w/ all the changes in the last few months, but why are they only like that for her? It was good to see her, and the boys. But I'm so tired from the sheer volume of pick up crap! That was crazy! I have spent the last 48 hours doing nothing other than dishes, and picking up toys. I cannot BELIEVE the amount of effort it has taken JUST to keep it kinda clean. I need a nap now!
We played poker last night, as always. We had 32 come. I didn't do very well. I was out kind of early, but that was a good thing~ I needed to go to bed. Chasing 5 kids 5 and under, is just a bit much!
Tonight we are going out for Hubs b-day. We're going out for dinner, and then bowling w/ 8 other couples. Should be a great time, I'm really looking fwd to it. I prly should get him a gift or something... I am the most unprepared woman ever.

HNT!

I was trying to take cute nekkid baby pictures, but since my baby has become mobile, this is all I could get.. You can almost here her inner monologue "i'm goonnna get you.." Isn't she sweet??

It got better! Much Better :D

The weekend really did turn out to be wonderful, despite the pissy mood I was in. We decided not to go to a hotel for the night, I thought it'd be more work than enjoyment. Instead we put the kids to bed early, ordered in Chinese, and watched a lovely movie. We watched 'The Notebook', have you seen it? It was great! A perfect anniversary movie to watch. If you haven't seen it, you should. It was the best night ever. We turned off all the lights, and the phones, and snuggled up under a blanket. It felt sooooo good, just to be w/ hubs. It couldn't have been better! That was all on Saturday night.

Friday night, we played poker in the garage, as usual. We have 41 people show up! We were packed. We paid 9 places, so everyone at the final table got paid. I took 5th, for a whopping 50 bucks! Woohoooo. I won A HUGE hand. I've never been so excited during a game. If I wouldn't have won that hand, I would have been dead long before 5th. I went all in w/ pocket Q's. I had only 1300 in chips (which was an ok chip stack at that point), I had 2 callers. The guy next to me had pocket J's, and the other guy had AQ. On the flop was trash, A, 10. Shoot, I was beat then. On the turn Q! woooooooohhhhhhhhoooooooooo. Fantastic. I don't remember the river. But I won that hand, and it was HUGE. Tripled up. I've never gotten to rake in so many chips, that was the best. Good times!

Hubs took the kids out of the house for me for 3 1/2 hours on Saturday. He's such a hottie. So I was able to get my stuff done. That felt great. It is a lovely thing to clean house w/o interruptions. And you already know about Saturday night.

Sunday was our bowling night. My scores from the week before were something like 53,85, and 65? Anyway, on Sunday, I bowled, are you ready? 103, 56, and 125 bitches!!!!! WOOHOO I was so excited, I made a scene. We bowl at this little hole in the wall, w/ 8 lanes. Most of the people that bowl there are older, like 50's -60's, when I got a spare, followed by 2 strikes, I yelled "woohooo!!" jumped up and down followed by another holler of "holy shiiiiitttt!" You could have heard a pin drop after my little scene. LOL. Except for Chicken laughing hysterically and snorting. It was fun. Can't wait to see what score the bowling fairy blesses me with next week!

So far, this week has been ok. I've been kind of depressed for no particular reason. Must be a change of season or something. I haven't wanted too see anyone, or talk to anyone. I've been just wanting to hang w/ hubs, and ignore everything else. I HAVE to get it together though. I have a billion and one things to get done. Runaway friend is coming w/ her kids tomorrow for a few days. This will be the first time I've seen her, since I discovered all there was to know about her husband. I'm excited to see her, I've missed her, and I know she could use some relaxation, and a good time. Things are still really hard for her. I will try to update before the weekend, but you never know! Till later friends....

Pissed.

I'm pissed. First of all, I really have no right to be, but that doesn't change the fact that I am. I can't get a baby sitter for shit. I called my mom the other day to see if she could watch the kids either tonight for a few hours, or tomarrow morning for a few, just so I can accomplish some things. Hard to get shit done when you have 3 little kids under your feet. And even if hubs trys to keep them occupied, they STILL find me and get into stuff. I want to get them out of the house for just a little while. So, anyway, called mom back this morning to see if she talked to my step dad, and they have plans. Ok, what are you guys doing? I don't remember what she said for tonight, but she said that tomarrow MORNING, they have a pig roast to go to. A fucking pig roast? In the am? WHATEVER! Who goes to a pig roast in the morning? Anyone? Buttholes. I'm just frustrated. Its my fucking anniversery weekend, and NOBODY can help me out. Hubs parents NEVER babysit, but of course, my m-i-l is still recovering from breast cancer, so I'm not upset about that, although even when she was healthy, they don't like to baby sit. My grandma will usually watch my kids anytime, bless her heart, but she's out of town right now, and my parents have a FUCKING pig roast. All of my friends have busy families and kids of thier own, so that doesn't really work, and I could have a niece or high school girl over (the 2 we use on occasion), but that defeats the purpose. I want them out of the house for 2 fucking hours. I'm so pissed. MAN, that sucks. Really sucks. My kids aren't little demons, why can't I find a sitter? I give up. Fuck em'.

A little pumpkin for you.

Today is MUCH better than yesterday. Kids are better, and the baby seems to be more like herself today as well. I went to bed really early last night, and woke up refreshed. My girls and I went to lunch w/ a friend today. Ave made some friends w/ the old ladies at the table next to us. She was talking away to them, and she says " I moved out of my room into a tent!". You should have seen the old ladies faces! hahaha! A few weeks ago, hubs set up a tent in the basement so he and the kids could have a camp out. Avery decided that she likes to sleep in there more than her bed, and we don't care, long as she sleeps. She didn't mention to the old gals that it was in the basement. HA! I'm sure they thought that I was the mom of the year :)

Do you ever play w/ google earth? I was messing around w/ it today, its cool! Are the pictures you see being taken as we speak, or are they from another time? I can't tell my looking the top of my house. I can't tell if the pool is open or not. We have a dark green cover, and the pool looked dark, but not like alge. Does anyone know?

So we are going away for our anniversery. We decided to go spend a night in a hotel, w/ the kids. I know we'll have a good time, but I was looking foward to some alone (ahem) time. That won't work so well w/ the kids in our hotel room! That will be a little different for an anniversery night. It doesn't seem like we've been married this long. I'm proud of where we are. We have our normal couple issues, like anyone else, but I'm ecstatic that its true that you fall more in love each year. Its different now, b/c its not that 'new' love, but its better, b/c its constant, and we are still passionate about each other.

I don't think I'll get back around to posting over the weekend, but wish me some luck. Not only w/ hubs and making some magic :), but w/ poker too. I played awful last week. Have a good weekend!

Another Day

My morning started with:
Ave " MOOOOOOMMMMM! I axci-denwy dopped your ting in da potty!"
Blue " What? What did you say?" I was across the house
Max" SHE SAID SHE DROPPED YOUR THING IN THE POTTY!"
Blue" SHHHHHH Max! I can't hear your sister! What Ave?!" Meanwhile, baby cries.
Ave" Its your ting, I sowwy, I popped on it" Brilliant. I love days that start w/ a bang. And so my day began. Ave has been more than a little difficult to deal w/ the last few days. Max has been in a foul mood, and fighting w/ Avery, and Jade, well, she was perfect, till about 2 days ago. She's getting teeth, has a terrible runny nose, decided to give up sleeping, and has cried more in the last few days than she has since she was born. I'm a bit frazzeled. Hubs and I's anniversery is this weekend, and lo and behold, we have no babysitter. P E R F E C T. One of my girlfriends is pissed at me, and my other friends husband, thinks I suck. Can it get any more fab-u-lous? I just wanted to stay in bed today w/ the covers pulled up over my head, and cry. Fuckn A. Somedays are just not so great.
Have you caught this new show called The Office? I think that's what its called. Its funny in a really retarded kind of way. Like you want to turn it off, but you can't help it. You have to keep watching. Deer in headlights type of thing.
I need to get back to my laundry, and mopping. I hope something goes better this afternoon, or I might have to start smoking crack or something similar....

Halloween

Morning! Halloween was fun. All of us dressed up, including hubs. We had a good time. Max and Avery were firemen, Jade was a pumpkin, hubs was a cowboy, and i was a ragedy housewife complete w/ curlers. I couldn't believe how warm it was last night! But it wouldn't be a michigan halloween w/o some rain. We got pretty wet. The kids had a good time running from house to house. It was fun to watch. I was disappointed that we didn't get any trick or treaters at our house. Weird. We live in a residental area, we should have had some. That's one of my favorite things, passing out candy and checking out all the costumes. I'll post some halloween pics of our family when chicken mails them to me.
Poker was fun on Friday night. I didn't make any money, but I made a few new friends, that was cool. We did a whole lot of nothing the rest of the weekend, which makes it difficult to blog. Nothing interesting to talk about.. I'll come up w/something tomarrow, maybe :) Perhaps a story from back in the day. I'll think of something.
