Bubba/Cousin's Claim

Bambi killers

This was the first year that Superdaddy has gotten out to go hunting. Him, Bubba, my cousin, and my uncle sported blaze orange gear and took to the woods. No such luck on opening weekend. This weekend, however, my cousin got a little button buck. By little, I mean like the size of my German Shepherd. Sunday before they came home, they hit the woods again. Nada until they went to come home. They decided to push a ditch and rustle up some game and what should come out but a 2 point buck. Bubba got the adrenaline rush and couldn't maneuver the safety in ample time. Cousin got off the first shot (they were together) and hit the spine. Bubba finally got the safety off and went for the kill shot and managed to let the buck wiggle around and got between the shoulder and the elbow instead. Finally, cousin managed to get the shoulder shot and heart. Because cousin got the kill shot Bubba didn't get to claim it and bring it home. Hope to have a few pictures later before the guys process it.

Belated Thankgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all. This year Thanksgiving proceeded without much adu; Thankfully. With the drama with Mr. J and of course PIA things went off without a hitch. PIA in case you were wondering did not show up and neither did her first or second born. I guess PIA's boyfriend's mother is still in the hospital. She did however drop the girls off on Tuesday when she found out I didn't have to work Wednesday and left me to scramble for a sitter.

The friend I was helping move last weekend is still not out of her home yet. She still has a ton of crap left. Instead of cleaning my house for Thursday, I spent my day off Wednesday off moving her stuff from the old house to the new house. I need a vacation.

This is my year to work the day after so here I am...me myself and I. Heck even the doctors took today off. Phone has not even been ringing. Should have brought some presents in to wrap with all of my "free" time today.

Things I am thankful for this year.
1. Both Superdaddy and myself are gainfully employed
2. Family and friends are Healthy
3. 2 operational vehicles (sorry Lulu)
4. Food on the table and roof over head
5. Friends in cyber land

Hope everyone had a great holiday with lots of time to reflect upon the past year and spend quality time with family and friends.

TGIM

Thank God it is Monday. This weekend was hell. Yes PIA dropped the girls on me. They didn't make it to scouts. PIA was so very sick, she was at the hospital with her boyfriend because his mother had a heart attack all day. She very graciously brought them at 8:30 pm. Saturday was the crop. Aside from Miss G being up my rear end all day wanting my undivided attention, things went well. All three little girls behaved themselves. Afterwards, I went to volunteer my time to a dear friend who lost her home to foreclosure. She has until Nov 22 to move. She has known this date since apparently May 22. Though she didn't find a new home to rent until Nov 2. Point...SHE DIDN'T PACK A DARN THING!!! Friday, I had to pack it up and load the moving truck until about midnight. Hell I tell ya. Sunday...second verse same as the first. Only this time it was beds and appliances.

Guess what I am going to be doing from now until Nov 22 after work? I do not want to live in a home 22 years and loose it. Too much crap to pack. Hope yours was better than mine. I need a weekend to recoup from my weekend. Got any pain relievers for my back and knees?

Can we all do the happy dance? Apparently Mr. J will not be joining us. He would rather live in his less than optimal situation and pray the law doesn't show up than move 55 miles from his girl friend.

Built in baby sitter?

Superdaddy snuck into the house this morning and scared the crap out of me. I am a compulsive snooze hitter in the am. I hate mornings especially cold mornings. I hit snooze and my trusty guard dog stayed by the bed. About 2 minutes later, she is wining and yelping. I open my eyes to yell at her to go back to bed and someone was in the bedroom. He scared the crap out of me.

Damn guard dog should have warned me better.

Why do the kids always get the short end of the stick? PIA is such a looser. Sad to say. Tonight is girl scouts. Tonight the girl's have planned a Thanks giving dinner party to invite their folks to. They made invitations, planned a menu and such. Tonight the girls are collecting canned food items for each person attending to give to a local food bank as a way to give back. Today is a very special day for them. I got a 16 lb turkey for my dinner and 16 lb ham for girl scout dinner.

PIA called me this am. Why you ask? To tell me she will not be there at dinner tonight. What time can she drop the girls off? To tell me that she is not feeling well and that we will have the girls this weekend as well as next weekend. I have a scrapbook crop to go to that I got a sitter for my girls so I could go. Bubba and superdaddy are going to try to bring us home some food from the woods this weekend and next weekend. I will have good quality time with the girls for the next two weeks. Like I don't have anything better to do than watch the girls so she can go do whatever the hell it is she does without the kids. Hell her first and second born could babysit. Just Halloween, she would not let the girls come because Superdaddy was not going to be there. What the hell is this and next weekend about? TORTURE SUPERMOMMY?

Dilemma....what do I do with the girls seeing how i will not have my kids this weekend?

Oh yeah, and it appears that brother in law (MR. J) will be here this weekend with FIL.

Lord help me.

Being bigger SUCKS!

Why is it that when you suck it up and be the bigger person it sucks so bad (even if you don't have much choice)? PIA called Superdaddy and informed him she didn't have plans for the upcoming Turkey holiday so we can have the girls. Superdaddy took the opportunity to accept the offer. Fine with me. Apparently, she has no place to go with the other kids as well. He offered to have them over too. Oh yeah and to suck it up if she happens to come as well. Karma will be bad to me if I voice my opinion. She brought herself down trailer trash lane and that doesn't mean our kids have to follow. Fine with me. Hell even her first born and second born can come; attitude and all. Holidays are for families and she will never be part of my family. Why can't she go to her boyfriend's family's house.

She made it clear in the divorce papers she gets Turkey holiday. Why is it that for the last 2 years (since being with boyfriend) she has ditched the girls with us? Not that I mind.

Know how big of a turkey you need to get to feed say.....14 people?

Oh yeah one more tidbit; SD (sperm donor) still has not called to see if Bubba is coming to his house or his family's house for the holiday. Suprised much? Child hasn't spoken words since SD's grandmother's funeral. Maybe we should invite baby mama #2 and her offspring over as well. Would be a well rounded mix in our home.

Being the bigger person SUCKS!!!

Running on empty

Just not enough time in the day when you are working alone. This weekend was totally a bust. Superdaddy was in ER on Thursday with pains. Pain's = kidney stones! That busted him for the weekend pretty much. I love when he makes a "to do" list. He checks off the first one and leaves the rest for me. We did succeed in obtaining a super nice gun cabinet for dirt cheep. Too bad it entailed me moving around all of our bedroom furniture and such to fit it into our bedroom. Now they are all secure and safe. The bedroom however...forget it.

This weekend coming up will be mighty quiet. Superdaddy and bubba are going to hunt for bambi's father and mother. The girls will be with my friend and the step-girls will be with PIA unless of course she decides to drop them and not pick them up.

Where exactly has this year gone? It is almost Thanksgiving. Don't remind me that xmas is right around the corner. I could crawl under the rug and cover my eyes and ears. I am not ready for the holiday's yet.

Adios from work

I guess it is time to say goodbye to blogging from work. Boss lady (lets call her Martha) has really angered me to no end. Who really cares anyways?

She has crossed the line. I am certain if she can track the internet access from my computer she will have heart failure.

What right does Martha have to dig into personal stuff and then use it against you? She slithered her way to my office today. Asked how superdaddy was doing, girl scouts, boy scouts, and the kids. She then proceeded to tell me about her personal life with the kids and her new hubs. The witch then tells me I need to separate personal stuff with work stuff. Like personal conversations with other co workers (aka herself) and to tidy up my area from all the kid stuff (aka pictures). The "princess" that shares an office with me has a collage of pictures of her brats on the wall. Mine have been segregated to the cork board. Not to mention that Martha has pictures of her grand kids all over her door. Something about too many personal things happening at work. My personal life has taken over.

Perhaps her ball busting is the reason her assistant "Mary" is leaving. Martha tried to make Mary into a marionette puppet. She wanted Mary to spy on coworkers and report back to her. She busted Mary down last month after prompting Mary about home life (I found that out today). Seems to be a pattern.

Know of anyone who is hiring?

Gonna be a new mommy

You heard that correctly.







Before you break out the congratulations.....







It is for a 17 year old brother in law. He is not in a good situation, so it appears he will be moving in here around Thanksgiving.

Good Lord help me.
