Yesterday was a good day. No kid issues, for once. Everyone stayed where they were suppose to, and we had no injuries. I need to start one of those saftey chart things, like they have at factories. You know, no accidents or injuries for so many days, and if you make it, you can have a quartly pizza party. Maybe that would intice my children not to do silly things like escape the house, crib, shut fingers in doors, try to be superman.
Jade is talking so much. I absolutely LOVE this stage. Well, beside the escaping and getting into everything. It seems that every time I look at her, I can see her brain working, figuring things out, and how to express them. Its the best! We've been out of juice for a few days, so I stopped to pick some up this morning. I filled up her sippy cup, and she was sooo excited. She drank it all down, and then came running to me, saying "myyyy myyyy myyyyyyyyy". I said "do you mean MORE?" She said "yesth. yay!!!!" and clapped her hands. It was the cutest stinking thing I've ever seen. Aww. Big Girl. When I got her up, and walked into her room, she said "hi dade" w/ a huge smile. Dade would be how she says her own name. Funny that she would greet me w/ what I say to her every morning. Logical. Cute as a friggn' button I tell you. Adorable. Good reminder why I love them so desperately after a horrible week :)
I went out last night. Good Monday fun. Did a bit of kareoke. I sang 'family tradition' by Hank Williams Jr, and The Doors "touch me". woohoo! I'm a horrid singer, but that's what makes kareoke fantastic. I didn't have to drive last night, so I was able to have a few drinks. Or more than a few. Ooops. Good times all around. I have the best time w/ my gf's. I think we'd have a riot in a cardboard box even :D
My step dad is having back surgery today. Right now, actually. I hope everything goes as planned, and they do not find anything unexpected in there. He's been in terrible pain forever now, and put this off much longer than he should have. I'm not exactly sure what he's having done, something to do w/ a herniated disk, and removing a bone or something? They were unsure if there was anything else going on in there. He'll be in the hospital a few days, and then recovery is 6-8 weeks. He's a get up and go kinda guy, so its going to be tough for him to lay back for long. I feel like a douche bag for not being up there while its being done though :( When someone in our family is having surgery, generally a bunch of us show up. I should be there. Kids, naps, whatnots, just couldn't make it happen today. I'm waiting by the phone for my mom to call and let me know how things went, and hubs and I and kids will head up to the hospital to see him tonight.
Today is my first day babysitting my new little nefew!! Chicken is dropping him off in a 1/2 hour or so. I can't wait to play w/ him. He's started cooing and smiling. I'm looking forward to it.
Just another random thought. I want another tattoo. Something to include my hubs, and maybe my faith. Hubs won't let me get a tattoo w/ his name in any form. He says that just asking for trouble. I guess for some reason, when you tattoo your spouse's name anywhere on your being, you brake up, or so he thinks. I wasn't thinking anything big and tacky, maybe just smallish, and on my back somewhere. Maybe I could get something to do w/ my kids too. It has to be cute though, and smaller. B/c he won't let me use his name in any form, I'm kind of liking that bible verse " i am my beloveds, and my beloved is mine" But I don't think I'd want it written out like that. Anyone any kind of artist? Ideas??

Great Weekend!
Thanksgiving was lovely. Lots of delicious food, and family. J broke my one of my grandma's knick-knack thingy's, and cut her fingers :( Weird how that happens w/ 3 adult males in the room. Hmmmmm. She was ok though.
Friday morning, I woke up around 4am, to brave the traffic and the crowds for the best deals. MAN, did I get some good ass deals! We are trying to save $$ this Christmas, and that really helped! I'm nearly completey done shopping now. I hope to get the rest of it finished this next week. I even wrapped them already! Now If we could get our tree up.....
Saturday night was my high school reunion. It was fun! Well, not at first. At first it was lame. Interesting to see so many classmates. Most of them look exactly the same. Except the guys. Geesh. Facial hair, balding, bellies... hehe. We played some trivia games, like who won what for our senior mock elections, and what was the top selling album and movies of 1996, that sort of thing. Dinner was good. The class that graduated behind us also had their reunion that night. When the place closed down, we all went to a bar w/ the other class, and that's when the fun began. I think we should have just gone to the bar to begin with. Much less formal and stuffy. WAY more fun. I had some friends that I had lost touch with, and kind of forgotten until seeing them again. I must add that it was flippn' fantastic going w/ my new shape. I got lots of compliments, and it felt really really good. My hubs got more compliments about me than I did, which was cool as well. woohoo! I dressed up, did my hair, put make up on. I don't do that nearly often enough. Great fun!
OH, I nearly forgot to tell you of my baby girl's latest escape. Yes, she escaped again, but not out of the house this time, but her crib. I went to get her up from her nap, and she wasn't in her crib. She was sitting on Max's top bunk! Ahhh! Hard to keep her safe when I don't know she's in danger. I think I need to hire an armed securtiy gaurd to watch her while she's suppose to be sleeping. That baby is going to make my hair fall out. And, Ave shut her pinky (jade's pinky) in the door this weekend. I thought it was broken. My goodness! i was pissed! Do you remember the cat incident?? Avery knows better than to slam doors, and this time she got jade's fiinger. Grr! Thankfully, all is well. Her finger is still swollen, but I don't think broken. She's not protective of it, and she's using it.
My gosh. My children are friggn' NUTS.

Happy Thanksgiving Bitches!
You've seen this picture before, but I just felt like a little baby smile today. It's too cute not to see again :) She's such a doll baby. Escape artist.
Today has been good. Busy as always. I went to the grocery store today, MAN, what a zoo! Millions of people, lines. Ugh. I should have known better. I had to get stuff to make for my side dishes tomorrow. Mmmmm. We're going to grandma's. I'm looking forward to it. I like hanging out w/ my family. Ave wanted to bring a game for us all to play. Guess what she picked? Twister. LOL! Sweet! I can't wait to see all of the grandma and grandpa's try to play that. hahaha. I'll make Chicken take pictures to post.
We're having a big poker game tonight. We haven't had one here in forever, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm betting it'll be lots of fun. Even if I lose. I'm in such a fab mood today, I don't think anything could bring me down. Woohoo.
My friend Carmen has joined blog world. Go say hello to her. I'm sure you'll grow to love her as much as I do :) She's the best!
Enjoy your holiday! Talk to you soon bloggies :)

I went and had my hair done this morning. Ah. Much better. I was going to post this morning, but now I'm glad I didn't. I was pissed earlier! My mood lifted greatly, along w/my hair color :) Nothing went right this morning. Oh, but the good news first. Yay! My period has arrived. Woohoo! It has been consistently 5 days early for the last 3 months, up until this one, where it was 3 days late. Yikes. Glad that it's here!!!!
I had to work last night, and after work, I met up w/ some friends for a drink. When I arrived home, every light in the damn house was on. Pet peeve of mine. I hate that! Besides every light being on, including all of the lights in the basement(grrrrr), the house was t r a s h e d! The dinner I had so thoughtfully perpared ahead of time for my family, was still sitting in the crock pot, untouched. Frozen pizza box on the counter. Grr again. Hubs was sleeping on the living room floor, amongst the chaos, and the baby was crying. NOT pleasant to come home to. At. All. Both of the older kids were asleep in MY bed, also a pet peeve. I was ticked! Moved the older kids, turned off all the stupid lights, and took care of the baby, finally getting to bed myself, 45 minutes later. When hubs woke me up this morning, I let him know, in a very clam even voice might I add, that I was unhappy w/ how things were when I came home, and letting the dinner I made go to waste. He got mad at me! Yelled at me about how my dinner smelled, and how he didn't like it. FIRST of all, he didn't even try it, AND, he's had it before and liked it just fine. I of course said none of this. After he YELLED at me about my lacking culinary skills, in a normal voice, he said "have a good day." I did not respond, I was mad! So then he says 'are you going to talk to me' all pissy like, and I just said 'no', so then he stomped out of the house. Not a good way to start the morning. When he left, I got the kids up and ready for school. My son was cranky, and bitching about e v e r y t h i n g. Poking at his sisters, just being a snot. After I dropped him off at school, I ran to Target. J was fussy the whole time, and Ave asked me sooooo many rediculous questions, that I lost track. I don't think she took a breath for an hour, non stop "mom, can I have this? what are we doing later? are you going to do this? do you know what santa said? can I get this? what's that for?" and on and on and on and on and on. Finally, leaving the store, I was pulling one of those big carts, the kind that have the bench/seat thing on the front of it for older kids, and carrying Jade w/ me. The cart got stuck on the way out to the parking lot, in the last door. This very helpful lady gave the cart a push for me, but I didn't know the push was coming, and the cart hit the back of my leg, right above my heel, and peeled all my friggin' skin off! OUCH! I had to bite my lip to keep from swearing or crying. OUCH OUCH OUCH, along w/ a colorful blue streak of curses went through my head. Phew. Get the girls in the car, sit down to drive home, and OH MY GOODNESS!! I have to poop! Like right now. Oh no!! I only live 5 minutes away from the store, and there was NO WAY in HELL I wanted to venture back into that store w/ my crabby baby and never-shut-up daughter. I was really trying to concentrate on driving, quickly. Ave was getting more retarded and insistent w/ her never ending questions. I was starting to sweat. I just wanted to yell 'can you please shut up! I'm on the verge of shitting my pants here! Damn, can't a momma get a minute of peace?!?!" Praise the lord, I made it home w/o an sort of unfortuante or nasty incident. Awful. From that point on, the day got better. Good thing. I'm looking forward to getting a bunch of housework done this afternoon...
Just a side note. When I was out last night, one of my gf's was giving me a hard time, being silly. She asked for my license and registration in her best cop voice, duh, I'm sober, no worries, I'm fine. Then this old creepy guy next to her thought he'd get in on the joke, and asked me if I'd like to do a blow right now. He was referring to a blow test, but doing it in a really creepy, old man gross kind of way. Yuck! I replied 'better watch out old man before I knock out what's left of your teeth." Some people. nasty.
Also side note. My 4 yr old told my 6 yr old to shut his pie hole. Isn't that nice? Such cute children I have.

Tooth Fairy
I got to play tooth fairy for the very first time this weekend! Max lost his first tooth. Aww. He's getting so old..... It was fun trying to sneak in his room w/o waking him or Jade up. He was thrilled when he found a dollar under his pillow the next morning. He wanted 5. what? I think I only got a quater. He asked me if the tooth fairy would leave him 5 bucks. How about no. He's home from school today w/ an upset stomach. I think he's full of it! You never know though, so i let him stay home, telling him that he must lay down and rest all day. See if he wants to pull that stunt again!
Hubs is home. YAY! I missed him very much. I don't sleep well without him beside me. He didn't get a deer though, so for the next 3 weekends, off he goes :(
The weekend was good. I went to a comedy club w/ some gf's Friday night, and laughed my fool head off. Those comedians were F U N N Y! It was great to do something different than our normal. Saturday I was in bed by 10- pooped out. Yesterday went to church, then a family get together, then bowling leauge. I bowled terrible last night! I couldn't do anything right. Argh. Better luck next time.
My period is now 3 days late. Son of a bitch. I do not for any reason wish to be pregnant at this time, or ever again really. Hubs and I are careful, we use protection. We haven't had any mishaps that I can recall... I hope its just screwed up still, not that I'm pregnant. Keep your fingers crossed for me. If I am by chance, then its meant to be, but dammit, I don't wanna. I would get used to the idea, and eventually be ok w/ it. But if I had my way, I wouldn't be pregnant at all. poop. I'm going to wait until the weekend before I take a test. Hopefully before then, it will come.
Off to change a diaper, and catch up on laundry. Hope your day is as exciting as mine!

Where's My Trophy?
I called this blog mom of the year, b/c I'm soooo not. I have my best mom ever moments when I completely screw up, or lose it, which happens all the time. I'm not new at this mom thing, you'd think I'd have it figured out by now. But I don't. I'm still trying to feel my way, and figure things out. I make mistakes, all the time. I know I'm not the only one. All mom's have their moments, proud or not. Thankfully, I'm not a celebrity, so all of my mis-steps are not caught on camera for the world to see. It helps to talk about them. I had such a moment yesterday. Loser mom. At least now I know. SO- my hubs has been gone all week. Generally, when I need a shower, I'll do it before the kids wake up, or after they go to bed. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do that yesterday. I needed a damn shower! My son was gone, but both girls were here, and awake. I've gotten it down pat, where I can be in and out of the shower in 8 minutes flat. I closed all the doors to the bedrooms and basement, and told Ave that I was going to take a quick shower, make sure you leave the doors all closed, and holler if you need me. The marathon shower began, 8 minutes or less, I was out of there. I walked into the living room, ofcourse still in my towel, dripping wet, to check the status of my girls. Just Avery. "Avery, where is your sister?" I'm not alarmed yet. She said she didn't know, but maybe she was down stairs. What? How did she get down stairs?!? That door was closed! I run to the steps, Jade isn't down there, it's pitch dark. I turn around, and notice that the door leading out to the garage is open. Oh shit!!! I run into the garage, and see that the door leading out to the driveway/front yard is open. OH MY GOD! My panic attack hits at this point, tears are flowing, heart is beating so fast. I fly out into the front yard, panting and crying, and see my little baby, IN THE ROAD! AHHHHHHHAHHH! One of my neighboors, another mom, had seen her and jumped out of her car to pick her up. Thank God! I run to the street and take my baby from the lady, crying, saying thanks, dripping wet, and only covered by a not-quite-large-enough towel. Geez. What that woman must think! I cannot believe that that happened. It took me some time to calm down after that. She could have been run over, or lost, or stolen. All in just a few minutes. Ave refused to fess up that she opened the doors. I needed to know for sure. If Jade can open doors already, we need to get some stuff, door knob protectors, or a hook latch thingy placed up high. She admitted that she did do it, eventually, but why she did it is still a mystery. I don't know if she wanted to get something out of the garage, and just forgot to shut the door, or if she did it on purpose. Who knows. It was my mistake. I should have known better. Trial and error. Mis-steps and mistakes. I wonder if I'll ever get it down pat, and be the mom that never screws up. Whom always has a clean house, and make up on. Whose kids never disobey, or display temper tantrums. Now where is my mom of the year trophy?

Lots of Stuff
Nothing is new w/ my sister/cousin situation. We've called different labs and dna places to figure out how it all works. I think my dad is going to pay for the testing, which, might I add, is the LEAST he can do. Rotten. I think finding out is going to have to wait till after the holidays are over....
My hubs is gone :( He's off hunting. He left on Tuesday, and isn't suppose to be home until Sunday. I don't like it when he's gone- I get lonely. My gf is staying w/ me for a few nights though. Her hubs is hunting as well, so she's bunking here. Having someone here is great, not too mention the x-tra hands w/ my kids.
I had a major meltdown the other day. I don't think I've cried like that in years! I must have been stock piling or something. I worked really hard that day, busted my ass cleaning, I really went above and beyond my normal stuff. I was running all day. It was the day that hubs was leaving to go up north. Also, his birthday. I ran clear across town to pick up his favorite cake, and also his favorite meal from the grocery store. Jade was super crabby that day, constantly whining, wanting to be held. Max and Ave were picking at each other and bickering, so I was getting irritated. I wanted everything to be perfect for hubs. I had dinner on the table and ready when he came in from work, had his cake set up w/ his card, and favorite candy. The kids were hiding when he came in, and they jumped up to yell 'surprise daddy!' He was on the phone, and didn't really notice. Boooo. He sat down to eat, still on the phone. He wasn't being completely rude, at least not on purpose, but his brain was already at deer camp. Max had a program that night also, and I was a little bitter that hubs was leaving for deer camp before it, when he very well could have stayed until after. Opening day wasn't until the next morning. So what if its dark. He was excited though- blah. I didn't want to ruin it for him, so I was going w/ the flow. He was rushing around trying to get all of his shit together, meanwhile, all the kids are bitching, I need a shower, everyone is crying, and he isn't helping. I nearly cried then, but I held it back. Hubs finally made a comment about the house looking nice, and dinner being good, and thank you for the cake. He really wasn't doing anything wrong at all, it just wasn't what I had imagined happening. Anyway, I jumped in the shower quickly, then hurried to dress myself. Ofcourse, kids still crabby, hubs leaves, and I'm running late. When I get to the place for the program, I relize that I gave both my parents, and my grandma the wrong directions. They were suppose to turn the other way. S H I T. Right about then, my cell rings, its my step dad. I explained the mishap, and he didn't get it. Explain again. I'm getting Pissed! Finally, just let me talk to mom. Cell beeps. It's grandma, in her very stern, disappointed tone "NOW WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THIS PLACE!!!" I say 'sorry grandma, my mistake, you have to turn the other way" She yells over me talking "NOW YOU TOLD ME- IT WAS RIGHT BLAH BLAH"- Now I'm flippn angry and very near tears, mind you, baby is crying/screaming this whole time. So I say"I KNOW WHAT I TOLD YOU MY MISTAKE! GO THE OTHER DAMN WAY! I'M A BIT STRESSED RIGHT NOW AND CAN'T HANDLE THIS CRAP!" and click. Hung up w/o waiting for her reply, meanwhile, mom's still on the other line. Mom says"Where are you sitting, did you save us seats?!" I still in the fucking car w/ my screaming kid. UGH. Finally get to the place, find the auditorim, see my inlaws, and sit. Parents come in, flag them down, and sit again. Fucking cell phone is ringing, 3 calls in a row, grandma. I ignore it. Max has been really excited about this program for the last 3 weeks, talking about it everyday, he wouldn't even tell me what songs he was singing, he wanted it to be a surprise. Aww. It was important to him. K, lights go down, program starts, and Jade starts screaming. You've got to be kidding! Fuck me. I take Jade in the hallway to walk around a bit, max wouldn't be on till later. After 10 minutes of walking around, I pick her up to go back to the room, and wouldn't you know it, poop explosion. Poop everywhere. Dammit. Find a place to change her, which isn't easy in a ginormus high school. Girls locker room floor. I'm changing her, and the entire time, she's kicking, crying, throwing her head around. Terrible. 15 minutes later, I head back to the room. I walk up to my seat, and see my mom and grandma exchange looks and nods, like "yep, she's being a bitch" Grr. Can't I have a bad day? Don't they have days where just everything goes wrong?!?! I was very close to falling over the edge. I ask if Max is up now, and I get "You just missed him. He just walked off the stage" OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This was so important to him! I missed it! Ahhh! I lost it. Asked my parents to drop off max and avery off after it was over, and hustled out of there. I was bawling before I got to the car. Sobbing. Like the kind where you can't breathe, and you get the hiccups. I couldn't stop. It was awful. All of the disappointment of hubs departure, busting my ass, kids crabby, running late, bitchy grandma, exciting program, poop mess, crabby baby, all of it, and I miss it. I had body-rocking sobs for at least 35 minutes. I was soooo sad. I can't remember the last time I was that upset. All of the stuff that happened that day were small, but it was one right after the other, and I couldn't take it. After my fit was over, I felt much better. I hope that doesn't happen again anytime soon. Phew, that was rough. Since then, I've been great, and kids have been much much better.
What else?? Physco Judy girl was at the bar again this last monday. Ewwww. I did my very best to be unfriendly, w/o being flat out rude, and she finally took off. Thank Goodness. I hope to never see her again. She creeps me out. If you don't know who i'm talking about, check out my post from last tuesday- yikes.
Went out for hubs bday last weekend and had a blast! We went out for apps and a few cocktails, then headed down to the bowling alley w/ 20 of our friends. So much fun!!! We have such great friends, I'm so glad that they could be there, and help us celebrate. Hubs felt really special :)
I still haven't told you about our weekend away. I'll get to that later this week. I must go get some stuff done. My baby is STILL sleeping. That's nuts. She never ever ever sleeps this late. Its 945!! Being that my friend is here, I didn't have to get her up to take Max to school today. woot woot! Makes me paranoid still. I need to go poke my head in there. Have a good day all!
My hubs is gone :( He's off hunting. He left on Tuesday, and isn't suppose to be home until Sunday. I don't like it when he's gone- I get lonely. My gf is staying w/ me for a few nights though. Her hubs is hunting as well, so she's bunking here. Having someone here is great, not too mention the x-tra hands w/ my kids.
I had a major meltdown the other day. I don't think I've cried like that in years! I must have been stock piling or something. I worked really hard that day, busted my ass cleaning, I really went above and beyond my normal stuff. I was running all day. It was the day that hubs was leaving to go up north. Also, his birthday. I ran clear across town to pick up his favorite cake, and also his favorite meal from the grocery store. Jade was super crabby that day, constantly whining, wanting to be held. Max and Ave were picking at each other and bickering, so I was getting irritated. I wanted everything to be perfect for hubs. I had dinner on the table and ready when he came in from work, had his cake set up w/ his card, and favorite candy. The kids were hiding when he came in, and they jumped up to yell 'surprise daddy!' He was on the phone, and didn't really notice. Boooo. He sat down to eat, still on the phone. He wasn't being completely rude, at least not on purpose, but his brain was already at deer camp. Max had a program that night also, and I was a little bitter that hubs was leaving for deer camp before it, when he very well could have stayed until after. Opening day wasn't until the next morning. So what if its dark. He was excited though- blah. I didn't want to ruin it for him, so I was going w/ the flow. He was rushing around trying to get all of his shit together, meanwhile, all the kids are bitching, I need a shower, everyone is crying, and he isn't helping. I nearly cried then, but I held it back. Hubs finally made a comment about the house looking nice, and dinner being good, and thank you for the cake. He really wasn't doing anything wrong at all, it just wasn't what I had imagined happening. Anyway, I jumped in the shower quickly, then hurried to dress myself. Ofcourse, kids still crabby, hubs leaves, and I'm running late. When I get to the place for the program, I relize that I gave both my parents, and my grandma the wrong directions. They were suppose to turn the other way. S H I T. Right about then, my cell rings, its my step dad. I explained the mishap, and he didn't get it. Explain again. I'm getting Pissed! Finally, just let me talk to mom. Cell beeps. It's grandma, in her very stern, disappointed tone "NOW WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THIS PLACE!!!" I say 'sorry grandma, my mistake, you have to turn the other way" She yells over me talking "NOW YOU TOLD ME- IT WAS RIGHT BLAH BLAH"- Now I'm flippn angry and very near tears, mind you, baby is crying/screaming this whole time. So I say"I KNOW WHAT I TOLD YOU MY MISTAKE! GO THE OTHER DAMN WAY! I'M A BIT STRESSED RIGHT NOW AND CAN'T HANDLE THIS CRAP!" and click. Hung up w/o waiting for her reply, meanwhile, mom's still on the other line. Mom says"Where are you sitting, did you save us seats?!" I still in the fucking car w/ my screaming kid. UGH. Finally get to the place, find the auditorim, see my inlaws, and sit. Parents come in, flag them down, and sit again. Fucking cell phone is ringing, 3 calls in a row, grandma. I ignore it. Max has been really excited about this program for the last 3 weeks, talking about it everyday, he wouldn't even tell me what songs he was singing, he wanted it to be a surprise. Aww. It was important to him. K, lights go down, program starts, and Jade starts screaming. You've got to be kidding! Fuck me. I take Jade in the hallway to walk around a bit, max wouldn't be on till later. After 10 minutes of walking around, I pick her up to go back to the room, and wouldn't you know it, poop explosion. Poop everywhere. Dammit. Find a place to change her, which isn't easy in a ginormus high school. Girls locker room floor. I'm changing her, and the entire time, she's kicking, crying, throwing her head around. Terrible. 15 minutes later, I head back to the room. I walk up to my seat, and see my mom and grandma exchange looks and nods, like "yep, she's being a bitch" Grr. Can't I have a bad day? Don't they have days where just everything goes wrong?!?! I was very close to falling over the edge. I ask if Max is up now, and I get "You just missed him. He just walked off the stage" OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This was so important to him! I missed it! Ahhh! I lost it. Asked my parents to drop off max and avery off after it was over, and hustled out of there. I was bawling before I got to the car. Sobbing. Like the kind where you can't breathe, and you get the hiccups. I couldn't stop. It was awful.

Whose Your Daddy?
Yesterday, my life suddenly became a Jerry Springer episode. My dad is Tom, who has a fraternal twin, Tim. My mom's best friend had a baby, 25 years ago, Dweller, by Tim. Which makes Dweller my cousin. Tim has always refused to have anything at all to do wither her. A blood test was done to determine paternity 15 years ago, saying that Tim was 90% something dwellers dad. Even still, he's refused to have anything to do with her. We never knew why until yesterday. He firmly, whole heartedly believes that Tom (my dad), Not him, fathered dweller. Being that they are twins, even though not identical, there is a possiblity that it could be true. It may just be, that the gal I've always loved and known as my cousin, is in fact, my sister. This came from my Uncle Tim. Dweller and I made phone calls to our moms yesterday, and other family members to try to get a better idea of a time line, and whom was where when she was concieved. The time line also agrees that Tom should be her dad. BUT, being as they are not identical, it is only a small possibilty. We went to my dad's last night to ask him about it. Awkward. I just came right out with it. "Dad, is it possible that YOU, not Uncle Tim, is Dwellers dad?" He looked surprised, but his answer was more surprising. "Yeah, it's possible." Hmmm. He agreed to have a DNA test done, to find out once and for all if it is Tim, or Tom. Now we have to go about figuring out how to get one done, and how to come up with the money for it. They run from 500-800$. I always wondered why my dad and his twin hated each other. ding ding ding. That's why. My goodness. I wonder what will happen next. Dweller's ok w/ the new information. She's always known my dad, and loved him. I think it makes her feel better, b/c my dad has been around her all of her life. Tim's ignored her from the get go. She's never seen him in person, ever. I wonder though, if it turns out that it isn't my dad, but def. Tim, if he'd change his heart. If he would finally accept her. I would hope so. My guess is that it will still be Tim. Trying to pry family history, and information from our parents from 25 years ago is like pulling teeth. Sounds like they were a crazy bunch, and all interdating. Twins, bestfriends. Geez. Who cares? I certainly do not. I feel like we're missing pieces, that there are things they are holding back from us, b/c of certain situations. I'm not going to judge them, and neither would Dweller, it's just time to know the truth.
I was going to tell you about all about my fantastic weekend, but I can't think of anything other than this sister/cousin issue. I want to get it resolved as quickly as possible. I'll keep you updated, if and when things start to move.

So Long Jack
We found a new home for Jack. I was so in love with him, I thought I could make the time a little lab puppy needed. Whatever! I didn't have the time, and poor Jack was lonely. Sure, we fed him, played w/ him, and loved him, but not nearly as much as he wanted, or needed. We went to live w/ some friends of ours. They have older kids, and a less hectic scheduel, so I think he'll do well there. And we can still see him.
I'm bringing Mike (the cat) to be put down today :( Very sad indeed. He's developed some issues that cannot be fixed. Hubs is all tore up about it. He was more attached to him than the rest of us. We'll still have Mike's brother, Boo. I wonder how Boo will do w/o Mike here. I hope he'll be alright. He spends half his time outside anyway. I don't want to get any more pets, ever! I'm all done w/ that. No thank you.
We went bowling last night for a friends birthday. We had soooo much fun. I bowled my best ever! My established average on my leauge is 87, but my weekly average is 100. Last night I bowled a 140, and a 161!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohooo! I'm a bowling goddess :) The games hubs and I bowled last night will count for our leauge this week- sweet!!!
I'm taking off tomorrow at noon. Yeehaw! I'm driving up w/ my gf, and our hubs will follow us a few hours later. We're playing in a battle of the sexes poker tournement. Ladies play Friday night, Men play Saturday morning, and the best of both play against each other Saturday night. I'm not planning on doing real well in the game, but very much looking forward to an entire 48 hours without my kids. I cannot wait to sleep in! I want to sleep till noon! Isn't that gay? Away from kids for the weekend, and I'm most excited about sleeping. What an adventourous gal I am. I'm looking forward to black jack, shopping, and a massage as well. Not too mention hours of alone time in a hotel room w/ my hubs. Yay! Vacation sex! It's also our anniversery weekend. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. We've been married 7 years now. I believe that I love him more today, than I did when I married him. We recently had a rough patch, but came through it better than ever. We've been fortunate to enjoy a very happy marriage. I can't wait for the rest of our lives together. It helps of course, that he's such a sexy bitch :D
This is a very busy month for us. Away this weekend, hubs birthday next weekend, friends are coming in from MN for a visit, high school reunion, Thanksgiving. Geesh. Once the holidays get here, it gets so super busy. I'm tempted to turn off my phone on the holidays and hide from the family. I love spending time w/ them, but it gets so hectic running here and there, cooking, baking, classroom parites. Work Christmas party's. Eh. Would be nice to snuggle w/ hubs and the kids under fluffy blankets watching old movies instead of running all over the damn place. Oh, and deer hunting as well. I'll be solo every weekend through Nov. I start babysitting my little Lex if a few weeks as well. Chicken has to go back to work. Booooo. Very busy indeed!

Halloween, physco's, and breasts
Trick or Treat!!!!! We had a blast last night w/ the kids. Max was a power ranger, Ave was a witch, and J was a duck. Ave was running from house to house, worried that someone else dare beat her to the door. Max was right on her heels. J was content to hang out in the stroller, under a quilt w/ a sucker. It was FREEZING last night. There were so many kids out last night. We started following a group w/ at least 15-20 kids in it, running to every door. Maybe we just went out at exactly the right time, but I don't remember ever seeing so many kids at once. We were walking through a development w/ the million other kids, and this car came schreeching around a corner- WAY too fast. Even fast for broad daylight w/o any children hopping around. Hubs was supa pissed and wanted to chase him down. Thankfully, our lovely community cop was sitting around the corner, and went on to get the asshole. I hope he got a huge ticket. Idiot.
I went to play cards on Monday, as usual, followed by drinks and kareoke (sp?). There was this girl there that I had never seen before hanging out. I was content visiting w/ my friends, so i didn't say hello. Anyway, she came up to me and said that she thought I was very beautiful. Oh, well thanks. I'm blue, I say and we shake hands. She sits down closer to me and my friends to join in our conversation. This girl, Judy, we'll call her, anyway she was drinking beer after beer, and getting louder, more annoying, and more inappropriate by the second. My word! I don't have time to go in to detail about some of the shit that came out of her mouth, but it was bad. All the way from insulting my gf's, saying stupid shit about me, to talking nonsense about her own life, how marriage doesn't matter, she's been married and divorced twice before 30. Nice. Sweet thing to brag about. Stupid. She was obsessed w/ how I look. The dumbest thing ever. I look ok, normal, average or whatever, but I'm not special, not complaining or whining about it, just fact. I'm ok w/ that. Its fine to get compliments, a quick thanks will do, but this girl was retarded, and way over the top. I can't figure out what she was trying to accomplish by it. Trying to get me to like her? Maybe she was a lesbian??? Maybe she really thought all the shit she said, but come on, NOBODY talks like that. I was more than a little uncomfortable. We couldn't get rid of the bitch. She kept getting louder and louder. She sounded like that comedian lady w/ the accordian, Judy something or other, w/ Fran Dresher's laugh. Gag. I started thinking about it, and realized that i'm a magnet for crazy women. The weirdest most screwed up people ever will seek me out for friendship. Why is that? I really need to start being rude or something. It was an interesting evening overall.
So now, onto the breasts. My mom has fake boobs. Giant fake boobs. Like they sit right under her neck kind of giant. She likes to show them off. Whatever. I was over there the other day to go tanning, and my mom saw me topless. No big deal, she's my mom. BUT then, she says, 'wow babe. your boobs look like those etheopian women. a little saggy." WHAT!!!! Rotten rotten mean mama. Who says that? And, just for the record, THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT! They're just normal. Sure, not as perky as my teen years. But come on, I've had and nursed 3 babies, and they aren't plastic. I most certainly do not have natty boobies. Isn't my mom fab??
