Wheels on the bus go round and round...
So Happy Father's Day to all dad's out there. Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend with their kids. For the father's who have lost their children, please take the time to reflect and be filled with loving memories. For the Father's to be and trying to be, may you find time to relax this weekend and be blessed.
Hopefully DQ will let the girls come over on Saturday instead of just Sunday. After last weekend's drama, she is probably going to give us a hard time. We were hoping for all weekend, but that just maybe pushing it as last weekend was ours. We will see.
The excitement for the weekend is the cancer walk. The girls (hopefully all of them) will be walking right next to Auntie R. She is a breast cancer survivor. We will be doing the short walk only 1 mile because the little ones will be walking with us and Auntie R. isn't quite brave enough to attempt the 4 mile one.
The second event of excitement is the School Bus Figure 8 races. We went last year and had a blast. The evening was filled with so much excitement. There were little cars, and race cars, and school buses. The last race had 8 different buses going in the figure 8. 2 of the buses tipped on its side and the kids loved it.
Sunday, we will probably barbecue and do yard work as we are in process of spring cleaning the inside of the house. Should be fun.
Have a wonderful weekend and remember the wheels on the bus go around and around.....

Liars never prosper
Ya know what is embarrassing: going shopping and them refusing your check.
So Miss J and Chicky and I went to the local grocery store last night. Knowing if I wrote a check, it would not cash before direct deposit hit today. So along we went, filling up the basket with necessities and a few perks. The kids wanted junk food and I kept telling them I didn't have enough money for that this week. Well nosey bitch worker must have eavesdropped while she was putting rejected merchandise on the shelves. So long story short, the cashier rang it all up and decided it needed a check approval. She turned away and was talking to manager or whoever who said I'll be right back. When she came back, she informed me my bank was closed (like no shit it was 8pm) and she could not verify funds for my check?!?!?!?
My check was for $76.83. I was like excuse met? I wrote a check here 3 days ago for $96.71 and they didn't have to "verify funds". Apparently, she felt the need to check to see if I had money in the bank and my bank was closed already.
Said "manager" was nosey bitch putting rejected merchandise back on shelf. I hope she has to eat powdered mac n cheese for dinner one day instead of steak and tuna salad and watermelon. For dinner last night, we had powdered mac n cheese. Ewww. Kids don't mind but me I think EWWWW!!!
Oh yeah, kids don't even have milk or bread today for food. Looks like Eggs for lunch until I can get to the store during banking hours or a different store for groceries.
Did I tell you I hate powdered Mac n cheese?

Frustrating weekend
First things first, I gave nick names for the players in my life. Take note on left side menu.
Friday when DQ came to drop the kids off, Miss M decided she didn't want to stay with me until superdaddy came home which was totally fine with me but I made her call superdaddy and let him know. DQ took the phone from her and started a screaming argument with superdaddy right in front of the kids screaming and yelling. Totally uncalled for. Anyhow, Miss M decided she was not going to come all weekend as now she was so very upset because DQ was yelling at superdaddy. DQ took Miss M home and we stayed out and played outside as it was a nice night.
Saturday, we did our normal chores and such. Nothing big and glamorous except we got a new computer desk. The old one was pretty sad.
Sunday, after church, we decided to barbecue and have a few friends over. This was wonderful. We had a great time with our friends and the kids got to play outside with each other. The fun time came when it was getting closer to Miss G going home. She was clearly getting anxious as the afternoon wore on. She wanted to call DQ and ask if she could stay about 2 hours more. DQ agreed. She was getting more worked up by the minute. As the time went on, Miss G got hysterical. She was very adamant she did not want to go home. Through some prompting and such we got a few answers.
Superdaddy placed a call to DQ and boy was that a Hoopla. Poor Miss G probably got an ear full when DQ got home. I took Miss G home and she cried almost all the way home. I felt terrible making her go somewhere she obviously didn't want to go, but what can I do? I left her with her older sis telling her to be good for DQ and I would see her again soon. That was the longest car ride I have ever had to take.
We will see what happens with the whole ordeal. In a few years, a judge will listen to her and take her choice into consideration. Until that day, my heart breaks to have to make her go somewhere she does not want to be.

Amen
A patient at a University of Michigan Health System hospital whose double-lung transplant operation was stopped after a plane carrying donor organs crashed into Lake Michigan, killing six members of a Survival Flight team, has received a second set of lungs, doctors announced Friday.
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/13467261/detail.html
Though I do not know the transplant team, I have felt their pain. Our team has felt their pain. It could have been our guys on that plane. We use the same place to fly out of. Our guys knew their guys. Very humbling. You can cut the air with a knife that is how tense it was here. I am overjoyed with hearing the recipient got his miracle.
Life is too short.

Happy Birthday Dad!
Wow, the difference in 7 years. It has been 7 years since I have said Happy Birthday to you in person. Things have been moving along just swimmingly in our lives. The kids and I miss you so very much. Since you have become an angel, so many others have passed...my first hubby, his mom, you wife, almost fil.
I miss you so much. I lay awake some nights with regret. Regret that I didn't do many things with you, that we didn't spend enough time together; that the kids didn't get to know you as well as they should have.
So many things have gone unspoken. So many things are said now only in prayer.
Bubba is doing well in school. You would be proud of him. He wants to take auto mechanics in high school. Next year he will be in high school. Damn that makes me feel old. Only 4 short more years and then college. Eeek. He really wants your Corvette. If not yours from grandma, he wants to get one like yours. I told him dream on he needs a junker first. I think he is going to be a gear head like you. He is always wrenching on something every chance he gets. Lately has been ATVs in the back yard. He helps take them apart and does not put them back together right away. Imagine that. He seems to want a motorcycle too. Definitely a boy after your own heart.
Miss J, well she is doing ok. The other day she told me that she saw your dog and insisted it was yours. I didn't have the heart to tell her your dogs died before you did. She is finally going to get extra help with reading from the school. I get so frustrated with homework time. She tries, but she just doesn't get it. I remember the time you got frustrated with Jeffrey and shoved a peanut butter and jelly in his face because he just didn't get it. I haven't done that, but I have sent her to bed before homework was done because I lost my patience. She found your AA book in our basement the other day and was going to "read grandpa's book" for a book report. Yeah ok. She is going to do a dance class at church coming up. I guess it is a spiritual dance of sorts.
Chicky: You have never seen Chicky except from heaven. She is a spitting image of me. She sees your pictures and we talk about you often. She wanted a 4 wheeler for Xmas. Imagine that. Starting out young. She always can be caught with a screwdriver trying to take something apart.
The other girls, well, we talk about you and they ask about you and go to the cemetery with us. They haven't been exposed to dying and such. They don't understand. At church, they always pray that you watch over us and keep us safe. Miss G wishes that she was able to meet you and call you grandpa. Miss M well, she just kind of floats around with the rest of the kids. They do miss getting to know you. You would be proud of the kids regardless.
She lost out on you. We have lost out on having you see the kids, giving me away (mom did that though) .
Brother is in N.C. Boy is that a mess. He flew the coup and got the heck out of Dodge just like you always wanted to. He seems to be holding his own. We miss him very much. We are talking about moving to the mountains. Not Alabama as you wanted to go to, but out of here that is for sure.
I guess what it boils down to is this... I MISS YOU! Happy birthday Old Man! The Big 52.

No rest for the wicked
Wicked step mom that is...
His ex tried to dump the kids on us this weekend. Ya know, is there scouts, the girls said there was. It is urgent you call me. BLAH BLAH.
Found out Friday that FIL who was going away for a month, is not planning on returning. HUH?
We took him to dinner on Friday at my fav place BD's. Was asked to babysit for my baby sitter's kids on Saturday afternoon. I guess I didn't realize she meant after noon. Like 12:01. I had so much crap to do and well, when she dropped the kids off, I was strapped to the house. Had yard work to do, but son broke the lawnmower somehow. Had to go and see about getting a new one. We got our yard cut just as the rain came down (talk about luck) and it really didn't stop raining. Talk about going stir crazy. Had the normal kids and the babysitters kids locked up in the house because of the rain.
Sunday, it was still raining and my mom's grass needed to get done as did my bro's. Had son go to grandma's house to do her grass and he was almost done and the sky opened up again. Made him finish in rain. Somehow there is never enough time in the weekends to finish all that needs to get done. I need a week of: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah ok: my luck, ex will send the kids to visit.
This weekend coming up is our weekend and the following weekend being father's day will be ours and the following ours as well. So much for a tidy house...

A Hell of a weekend
Where do I begin? This weekend was a much needed R&R weekend. We went up north camping with the kids. For the first time in almost 13 years, Superdaddy and I had a tent all to our selves. Chicky and Miss M slept in their own tent as did Miss G and Miss J. Boy oh boy does that make me feel old.
My MIL is really a joke. She is all about her kids not talking to one another. She stirs the pot like a wicked witch with her brew. She has one of my step-daughters Miss S really messed up in the head I am afraid. Miss S stays with MIL unfortunately. Anyways, she screwed with superdaddy's head when he was growing up. She told him, his dad who was raising him really wasn't his dad and some other guy was. Then she claimed she never told him that. Blah, blah. Long story short...supposed dad (paternity test proved otherwise) passed away Saturday. We were up north and got a call from "dads" girlfriend to let suepraddy know. Monday, MIL calls me after not having a phone call for over a year and a half to tell me to tell superdaddy that his dad passed away. Then she called back asking me how he took the "news". I think she is trying to weasel her way back into our lives. Got to squash that shit quick.
R.I.P. Almost Father in Law. You will be missed.
My FIL used one of our cars this weekend as it was just going to sit in our driveway. Well remember back when my brother in law hit my friend's car and small claims court made him pay for damages? Well when my FIL had the car, he went to BIL's house to pick up a few things. My car has been KEYED!! Like major. Like unforgivable. I honestly thought my superdaddy was going to go over there and go "postal" on his brother and SIL. I don't think BIL did it, I think his wife did. She is evil and hateful. I mean we don't have new cars. Hell they both have over 150,000 miles on them. But damn.
Now you see. DRAMA!!!
Aside from that, our weekend was nice. I will share pics as soon as I can find the camera :)

Are we there yet???
This weekend we are going up camping at my grandparents place. We will have all the kids and a dog. Should be fun. Just because some kids get out of school tomorrow and some don't...why is it that any chance a person may get, they dump their kids off? My kids have a full day of school. I have to work. Superdaddy has to work too. Step kids don't have school apparently and DQ doesn't have a sitter...hence...they will be invading my home tonight and become my babysitter problem.
I hate parents who ditch their children any time they can. Hell when can I ditch mine?
Needless to say, tomorrow at this time I will hear "are we there yet" or "how much longer until we get there" better yet "she is touching me and I don't want her to".
Arghhh...Have a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend. Will share pictures later.

Time passing by........
Where the heck has time gone? Does not seem that long ago that I posted last. Hope everyone is well. Jeeze...since my last post, scouts has ended for the year and camping season has begun.
Superdaddy dearest has been on this crazy run that has him going 6 days a week. Makes time for a short weekend that is for sure. The crazy thing now is that he is training another driver. Not that he is not capable of training, it is just that he hasn't been at it for a long time yet.
Bubba's wrestling team went undefeated for the season. Last year was his football team, this year was wrestling. They have a great bunch of kids playing for the school. Part of me can hardly wait for school to be out for the summer, but part of me definitely is not ready. I guess ready or not, it is coming in less than 2 weeks.
Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day holiday. I will catch up soon and share some photo's from camp.

Sheesssh Where Has the time gone???
Seems like just yesterday was the new year. Spring has finally sprung here. The kids have finally been able to get out of the house and leave me alone. Life has been passing by without much adu around here.
Same ole stuff different day. I miss superdaddy so much when he is gone and yet when he is home, part of me feels guilty because I want to not share him. This weekend, he was talking about going 3 wheeling. I know he loves to do that. Secretly, I wished he wouldn't so he could spend time with us...well me.

And The Sh!t Hits The Van!
So I take 14 little girls under 3rd grade camping for the weekend and the shit hits the Van…Literally.
I took the girls to camp and had a blast. We scared them, they tried to scare us. They got to put make-up on the first one to sleep and we tye dyed with kool-aid and make God’s eyes.
First phone call from hubby was “Do you know where Bubba is?” Why yes darling, he is home with you. “No Bubba is missing!! He is not here!” Where in the heck did he go? To see his girlfriend?
Second phone call was “Your mom’s dog escaped and I had to chase her for almost a mile while Bubba didn’t stop to help when her mom was dropping him off.”
Third call was “The good news I got the 200X running, the bad news is, I broke it.” HUH?
Fourth call was “What year is the van?” For what? I don’t know off the top of my head. “The back window got blown out.” HUH?
The minute I got home ya know what happened? My mom’s dog got out and tried to go play on the railroad tracks and in traffic. I, with a MASSIVE Migraine, bubba and the girls chased the damn dog down for about 45 minutes and vowed to duck tape it to the tree. That didn’t happen (no duct tape promise I couldn't find it).
Because we chased her down so my mom wouldn’t cry, we missed going to the movies. Needless to say, my weekend was so busy, I need a vacation (without my cell phone)!!
Maybe this week, I will get around to Spring cleaning seeing how we are having dinner at my house for Easter and that is Sunday. Oh yeah, the easter bunny needs to go shopping too.
Hope your's was better.

Baby Mamma Drama
Lately, the nights have been very hard. The worst they have ever been. I thought it was hard when he started driving, but was I wrong. My mind just doesn't shut off. I have so much to do there really isn't time to sleep; yet sleep is very important. Anxiety that is what it is. I miss superdaddy so much. I miss how it was when we first got back together. It seemed as though we could not get enough of each other. Lately, it hasn't been that way. I just miss him.
Lord knows my "to do list" is almost 3 pages long. I almost cried when I wrote it all down. I broke it down into smaller to do lists to try to make it more managable and now it is longer; hummmpppphhh. At least that way I will feel better thinking I accomplished something.
The baby mamma drama shit is driving me nuts. I despise DQ more than words can say. She is just plain evil. Life would be livable if there wasn't baby mamma drama. I sure hope the kids see thru the smoke screen she creates and become better person's. I have a feeling DQ will ruin Miss G's birthday party this weekend. She threatened to not let them come over for a while and will probably blame us for it.
Now you understand ANXIETY!!!!! That seems to be my middle name lately followed by DEPRESSION!!!!!

Happy Birthday Miss G!!
Well Saturday was Miss G's birthday. She turned 8. Seems like just yesterday she was 3. She is growing up so fast. (They all are). She is growing into a beautiful young lady. I am not going to post her picture on here as I don't want to cause any problems with her privacy and DQ.
On another note:
Things are starting to go in the right direction in life again (knock on wood). We need to take one step at a time. I miss superdaddy very much. Though he is home more than he has been in the past, it is just passing in the evening. Seems on the weekends, we have so much to do yet want to spend time together as do the kids. Sometimes sharing SUCKS!! Weekends do not have enough hours in the day.
I honestly cannot wait for the weather to finally break. We need to get out of the house and go riding or something. We all have cabin fever. Hubby and Bubba are dying to ride. Just have to get a few more parts and a babysitter and get out.

Happy Birthday Miss J!!
So yesterday was Miss J's birthday. I spent most of the day wiping away the tears from her pretty blue eyes. She is sad because she cannot see her dad. Her dad is in heaven already. She turned the big 9. Holy Smokes!! Where has the time gone?
This is her with messy hair at my brothers going away party last year. She is growing up too fast. Figures the easiest labor is the most difficult child so far.She is driving me nuts with school. She hasn't had homework in almost 3 weeks. Well the teacher sent a letter home that indicated she has 48 missing assignments and does not return homework?!?!? WTF? My point exactly. So now, I have all her work (a damn book). And of course, I feel like a slave driver making her sit every single day after school and do her work from the time I get home until the time she goes to bed. If she had done the darn work from the beginning, it would have been like 1 hour a night that is all.
Argggggg!!!!!!!!
Thought this was kind of cool!

Parenting a Teenager
Uggg
Where to begin...I am fed up with Bubba. He has been getting into a little pickle at school. Started last year and carried over to this year. I am about to strangle him. I know he is trying to have friends and well chicks, but give me a damn break. What happened to the good ole days, where you could go to school and not worry about getting your ass kicked?
This kid has been tormenting him for going on 2 years. He has been suspended more than once for fighting back, and walking away from fights believe it or not and well the kid still will not leave him alone. We have come to the conclusion that most of the problems are because of girls getting in the mix. I have had it. I hate our school and I loved it when I went there. It seems ridiculous that this shit keeps happening and the school does nothing about it.
Just thinking about this is causing me an ulcer!!

Now what did I do?
So now I feel absolutely terrible.
There is this girl in girl scouts with me. She told me last week or so that their family is broke and probably going to be moving soon. Dad is now a truck driver too and mom doesn't work. At the meeting, she wasn't wearing socks or anything. She is never clean and point blank, she is a "homely" child. Her mom is really nice. Her brother and sisters seem to run the hood taking care of themselves. Last week we got walloped with snow here and well, her little sister was outside in jeans and tank top. No coat, no boots. So why do I feel terrible?
They have girl scout cookies to the tune of $728. The money is due Thursday. Mom didn't answer the phone any of the bazillion times I called. I show up unannounced, no answer. I am terrified that our troop will have to pay the $728 and wait until the girl scouts go after mom for the money. That is like all of our profit.
I called mom today from work (shows up hospital on caller ID). She answered. She was shocked that it was me on the other end of the phone. She hasn't delivered all the cookies yet because she was in the hospital having a miscarriage.
I feel like a damn bill collector that I despise so much myself.
I guess we will see what happens when I go by there tonight.

Where has my life gone?
I guess the rollar coaster is about to do an about face and head in the opposite direction.
It was so difficult to get used to him being gone all week long. Just when I start to get used to it, he gets to come home more, but I still don't get to see him long. Just enough for me to make him dinner, wake him up, and send him out the door.
The last two weeks have killed me and my energy. I guess that is what happens when you have kids and get older. There has only been 2 days last week where I didn't have something to do. This week, I have to do something every single day after work. I think the only way I can get the house straightened up is to take a vacation from work.
This week I think we will probably have to eat out all week (not that we can really afford to) because there is really something going on each day of the week.
I NEED A VACATION!!
