The long story

The other driver I was talking about lets call her Pat. We will call her that because her real name could be either boy or girl as well. When Superdaddy started talking about Pat during school and a few others. He talked about how hard it would be for a mother to leave her kids to go with the company she was driving for because they do team driving for like 8 - 12 weeks when they start and don't get home time. I was so glad Superdaddy didn't go with them. One night when he started driving, November 2006, there was an encounter with a hooker at a rest area. He teased me that Pat stops there too and he should tell the lizard to go visit her. Ha ha. I know that he did end up there once same time she did. He was going to have her check out his truck (hers was old and raggedy) and she didn't wake up but did tell him some lady came a knocking.

Not long after that, Pat left the company she was with and joined where Superdaddy used to work. She is still there he tells me. Apparently, they discuss kids and stuff all the time. Like I know she has 2 boys that stay with her mom for some reason or other. She never talks about a guy. I know lesbian's can have children all they need is a sperm donor. I get that. Maybe she is bi? I know plenty of ladies that like both men and women. I get it trust me. Hell I support rainbow love. Been there done that. You cannot help who you fall in love or lust with.

Problem I have is this...Superdaddy is either home Saturday early am to Monday mid pm or late Friday pm and leaves Sunday mid pm. That gives me about 30 hours or so with him. I share my time with the kids. Why does she insist on talking to him during my time? So what she may still be running he tells her he is chillin at home. Why does he let her monopolize his time?

Warning Bitchfest in progress

I don't get it. How does someone think it is OK to call another woman's husband during his only time home with the family and monopolize his time? Superdaddy is home on the weekends. That is our precious time together. Our time to spend with each other and the kids. Not time for her to call him just to B.S. and gossip. Now before you think I got my panties in a twist let me explain.

She went to driving school with Superdaddy. Supposedly she is gay. Never met the woman. In fact a few times when she called and I answered she hung up (that was in the early days). She went to work for a different company than Superdaddy and hated it. Superdaddy got her in where he was working before he went to drive for his O.O. She calls him and he calls her when he is on the road. I can somewhat deal with that. But the weekends is my time. He tells her when she calls that he is home but they still talk. Not like 10 minutes but for like an hour about friends from school and how is run is doing. Saturday she asked him if his O.O. was hiring!?! Superdaddy doesn't get why I get upset. His attitude is he thinks she is gay; she sports rainbow pride stuff; and never talks about a significant other in either masculine or feminine. She has 2 kids from a previous. Apparently, she liked men at one point in time. P.S. I have never met her so I don't really know.



Why do I get upset when he talks to her during his time home with me? I know Superdaddy and I have a strong relationship and jealousy has not been an issue.

PIA let me tell you...that bitch is lucky we don't know where she lives. She moved how long ago...Go ahead and look back I will wait...DECEMBER 17, 2007 PIA moved with the girls. Today is January 28th and let me tell you something. The girls still do not have beds! The beds from her apartment are in storage. She must owe the storage money because the girls do not have beds. Something was said about getting her taxes back and just buying them new day beds. What have they been sleeping on? Ask and you may not like the answer...THE FLOOR one sleeps on the basement floor and one on the living room floor. Hell my kids have "camped" out on the floor before don't get me wrong, but count the days and tell me 42 days later they don't have a bed to call their own!

Snow Sucks!

For the record, I have been wanting snow for sometime now. It helps with the bitter cold by adding a tad bit of humidity to the air and making it less bitter. Also dying to try our xmas gift out. We got a snowmobile for each other to share. Too bad we couldn't afford one for each of us. Today driving to work was brutal and sitting in my office with a nice window view sucks!! Our 2 inches of snow has caused my headache of the morning spiral into a full blown migraine.

Chicky seems to have passed her germs from this weekend to me. Nice of her to share like I taught her but germs is something I would rather not have shared with her.

OH!!! Almost forgot to share some juicy gossip. Looks like looser SD (sperm donor) and his wife are loosing their home to for closure. Saw it listed on realtor.com for the nicely reduced price of $60,000 with the stipulation subject to short sale. They bought it 3 years ago for $95,000. Don't pay child support and still cannot afford your home. Damn shame.

Anxious Dog

Last night after I got home from work Bubba took the dog out. Then he went to my cousin's house for a few hours. Of course it is winter time during this freak out and it is dark by the time I get home from work. While Bubba was at T's house, our dog "killer" would not move away from the front door. As in not even to chase the cat around. The door was locked though (told ya I was creeped out). Needless to say, while I was making our healthy dinner of mac n cheese, I swear the screen door opened. No one knocked. Even the dog perked her ears up and looked at the door. She didn't bark though which indicated to me it was someone we knew (?Bubba?). After about 30 seconds, i opened the door and no one was there.

Damn dog slept on top of me last night. Like literally on top of me. She was trying her hardest to be really super close to me. I had to kick her off the bed a few times, but when I rolled over, there she was again.

Nothing happened thank God just to add to the creepiness that has been happening. For the record, the door to the house was not opened last night when I got home nor was it opened this morning when I left the house.

Somebody is watching me

Not that we are in a poor neighborhood or anything, but we are just outside the ghetto. By just outside, I mean we are like 3 city blocks away from it. Our neighborhood is mostly senior citizens who are passing away or going to nursing homes or wherever so renters are moving in. My mom's neighborhood which is less than a mile away is way rougher and "ghetto-fied". The point is I guess, I am not comfortable staying home alone now.

When Superdaddy started driving truck, I was having anxiety attacks. Things since have improved greatly. That is, until Saturday night. The house next to us was a renter when we moved in. They vacated about a year and a half ago. The owners were going to re-rent it out but decided to list for sale instead. It has been on the market for over a year. The housing market and job market in this state sucks.

Saturday, we were out pretty late. Hell 2 am or so. When we got home we noticed the front door at "Bob's" house was wide open. We flagged down a cop that was driving down the main road and had them check it out. They indicated no one was in there at that time and they locked it up but to call again if we noticed anything. Yesterday it was wide open again.

We have a G. Shepherd dog who is pretty petite. She is almost 6 years old and only weighs about 50lbs. She used to hang out at "Bob's" house when they lived there. Since they have moved out though she has only tried to go over there a few times. Since Xmas she has been traveling over there more and more. Pretty creepy if you ask me. Though we have not seen a person there, there appears to be "SQUATTERS" or kids playing over there.

Recent activities have made it so I don't feel safe with having the kids come home after school until grandma picks them up. I am totally wigged out at night. Superdaddy was startled enough to take a trigger lock off the 12g and leave some bird shot where I could find it. Better learn to sleep with my glasses on just in case.

Hell I better learn to shoot the damn gun.

Maturity & Camp...Nice Combo.

So last weekend 2 moms and I took our older 10 girl scouts to weekend camp. We had a great time. Unbeknownst to myself though, the 4th and 5th graders had "the talk" at school. for the 60 minute drive, we heard talks about starting their cycle and maxi pads. Miss J asked me to take her shopping to buy the pads just in case she needed them at school. I know some girls start early, but she will only be 10. In the girl scout spirit (be prepared) we went shopping and got pads and pantie liners. Believe it or not, she wore one all weekend I believe by the amount out of the package. Sheesh it is starting already. Just in case.

My co-worker and I discussed this whole maturity issue. Her daughter will be 12 and well, she is grossed out. Co-worker advised daughter to start using pantie liner just in case and daughter had a total melt down. She was not going to use that stuff it was nasty. Poor thing is really in for a rude awakening.

Financial downer

This time of year is super depressing for me. Perhaps the hoopla of the holiday's; perhaps the financial loss from said hoopla's who knows. Miss J's has a friend who has a family similar to ours. He is younger though. She loves the family and the boy's sisters. They are all younger. The mother offered to have Miss J come over in the morning when I go to work. She drives the boy to school. Being cold and such I have been dropping her over there. The mother called last night, they are loosing their home to fore closure. They will have to move. They have 4 children and one step child. I am so sad for them. The dad lost his job and the market here sucks. He couldn't find a decent job right away. Heck even now he is making minimum wage and D H S seems to think minimum wage and 25 hours a week will support a family of 6 with 7 every other week. I cannot imagine how horrible and embarrassed she was to tell me this. Heck we are behind in our bills too. This could happen to us!!

Superdaddy had a super long break with the holidays. He was off from the evening Dec 21 until the evening of Jan 2. Short lived though. His truck took a crap Jan 4. He was supposed to leave out again Jan 6. He has been home because said truck is the shop. Though I enjoy his time home, he needs to get his rear end back to work! He is driving me nuts!!

To go along with the financial crap, PIA is crying about money again. Superdaddy pays what the courts ask him to pay and it is not enough for her. I bet we will be back to court soon. Now that she is living in a 3 bedroom home instead of a 2 bedroom apartment.

Here's to a better financial new year to all!

Only in Michigan

What does it look like is happening in this picture? Is this guy fishing?

You would never believe me if I told you this so I guess I just better show it to you.

I work in a big city. I was picking something off the floor in my office and happened to glance out the window and thought; "What the hell is that guy doing ice fishing in the parking lot?" He really wasn't ice fishing, but it sure looks like it. The lines on the photo are from taking the picture through the screen they put on our window's so no one can jump out of it.

Reinforcements?

They were actually fixing some underground electrical wiring I guess. I like the fishing idea better though. Some office humor for you. Have a great day!

Bambi Mamma Killer!!

Last weekend was late antler less deer season in our neck of the woods. Superdaddy and Bubba wanted to try Bubba's 16 g shotgun that he got for Christmas. Bubba needs to learn to aim (now that he found his glasses) and shoot. He got the hind leg. Superdaddy didn't know that Bubba shot at it until later (they were in separate spots in the woods) and blew the lungs out. Good Shot!!

Same deer, just different angel. Guess I better learn to cook this stuff and like it huh?? Supermommy doesn't care so much for venison.

This picture kills me. This is my uncle's doe. He killed it Thursday and hung it to drip dry. When they came home Sunday with Superdaddy's kill, it was kind of frozen seeing how we got a sort of deep freeze up here. This is how it laid down from being hung in the tree. Lays like my dog lays in the grass. Just cracks me up.

P.S. Don't tell my uncle or causin, Superdaddy got the biggest deer out of the 4 the group got total Nah Nah Na Boo Boo!!!

Thoughts

Ever love someone so much it hurts? How about miss them so much it hurts? Superdaddy was home for the holidays well from the 21st til today. He leaves out soon. Even when he was home I miss him so much. Hard to explain. Emotionally, physically, everything. The holidays were nice with the kids and all just lonesome.

Merry Christmas!!

This was our tree this year. Most of the decorations were stuff the kids made.


This is what was found under our tree this year!!

Maybe not under the tree, but in it.

This year, the holiday's brought heartache for some people. My brother's friend and her family lost a loved one. Her step-dad suffered a devastating stroke a few days before Christmas and yesterday, Dec 26 he passed away. Today is her birthday. Double whammy if you ask me. RIP friend's step-dad you will be missed by many and loved by more.

I hope the holiday brought your family joy. I know it brought our family joy. Will share a funny about the holiday tomorrow. I must get back to work today.

Pondering.......

Our lovely department had a smashing party at this fancy mansion. The department however will not pay for alcohol (they are in the health profession ya know). Said bosses (doctors) decided alcohol was more important then the Xmas checks they have given in the past. Some of us do not drink for reasons known as well as unknown. Our department drank $3500.00 worth of alcohol and we didn't get our fat Xmas check. Nice huh? Guess they (doctors) are in the business to keep the patients coming. Hope they enjoyed their kid made cookies from us. (Should have licked them all first in exchange for the "alcohol" bonus).

Pondering a problem that has been on my mind.

If you had a friend (guy) who was dating someone serious (gf) and they just out of the blue split up. An old friend (girl) asked about (guy) and (gf) splitting up. (Girl) said she was surprised they lasted this long considering (gf) was a lesbian and all. My mouth fell. How does (girl) know about (gf's) sex life? (Gf) apparently made a pass at (girl) when all 3 were pretty smashed at my wedding in 2005. On (gf) my space, there is a bunch of rainbow stuff and such (fine and dandy) only when asked, she said it was to throw her family and make them quit bugging her about boyfriend and settling down. Not that it really is any of my business, but it kills me that she took (guy) for a ride per say and led him to believe there was a relationship. Apparently, while my creepy photographer was following around (girl), (gf) was hitting on her. Making suggestions about them getting together for after wedding festivities with the 3 of them. That is every man's dream and all, but he seems really blindsided about the whole "rumors".

Hell if you are not happy, by all means, your happiness lies in your own hands...make yourself happy. Just don't do it at the expense of others.

Guy if you are reading this, just know that no one will judge you for the choice (gf) has made. Hold your head high.

Pondering sucks and well lets face it, I have woken up 4 days in a row with a friggin migraine since having this conversation. Ugg.

Happy holidays!

Care to move? Again?

As with many of the mid-west states, our state got hammered with snow Saturday and Sunday. The weather forecaster's have been crying wolf the last 2-3 weeks about snow. When most states already got snow, this was the first real snow here. They started predicting it Thursday and again Friday. PIA dropped the girls off in brand new gym shoes and missing the hats and gloves. Never mind the girls were going to day camp all day Saturday in marsh land (camp is built on marsh land). Mother of the year? The reason they didn't have these essential items in December with a snow storm coming you ask? THEY HAVE MOVED YET AGAIN!!! She begged me to ask Superdaddy to help her move the big furniture. Pardon me? You want me to ask him to do you a favor? She didn't ask him until Sunday when she needed someone. According to Miss M, they have to move again because mom didn't pay the rent and they were making them move out. TMI for a 6 year old if you ask me. The last 3 years, the kids have had to move right before or right after the Xmas holiday. They didn't have a tree last year and have yet to get one this year.

I ventured out this weekend and took the kids to the dreaded dollar store; handed them a hand basket and a list and turned them loose. They did well and got something for everyone on their list for a grand total of $128.42. Bubba is the last one to take shopping. We spent a great deal Saturday night on the living room floor with tape, scissors, and paper and had the kids wrap their goods. Not the prettiest outcome, but definitely well worth the effort. The girls were very pleased.

Hang in there bro. Every day is a new day. Wish you were here.

F.E.D.E.X.....SUCKS!!!!

I will never use them again. What the hell makes them think that delivering at 9 am on Monday and then again 9 am Tuesday someone would be home. Make arrangements to have them deliver on Thursday. They fuggin show up on Wednesday. Final attempt no one was home of course because it was not Thursday. I called them last night...bimbo on phone said that because I made arrangements they would deliver today. THEY WILL NOT DELIVER TODAY BECAUSE FINAL ATTEMPT CAME YESTERDAY!!! They are returning my package tomorrow if I do not pick it up before end of day tomorrow. BS THAT IS WHAT IT IS!!!

Topic: PIA and money

Why is it that PIA seems to think I am the FOC bank keeper? She calls at the butt crack of day and asks about scouts then proceeds to grill me on FOC payments. She wants and needs money and she is afraid FOC will take superdaddy back to court if he isn't paying. If the bimbo waits her 2 weeks, she gets her damn check. She calls FOC everyday and they will get tired of it and take superdaddy back to court. PIA would rather have him sit and do 30 days in county jail then wait for money. PIA needs to get off her fat seat and get a damn job. I don't have a problem with paying FOC by any means. Hell love alone will not raise a child her child support is her sole paycheck. Figure that one out.

Who wants to make a wager that the sherriff will be at my door within the next 90 days to lock someone up?

Hey brother, when life hands you lemons, make Mik-es Lemonade. Hang in there. Lovesyoumuch!

Weekend blahs!

Sick and tired already of all the crap that comes with this time of year.

I am not talking about holiday stuff...I am talking about germs and bugs stuff. If I can please have just one whole week where I don't have to take care of a sick kid. This weekend was great. Heck I went shopping, I finished making some gifts, a friend and I were Baking with the girls. Then...BAM!!! Yesterday Chicky had Lower GI issues and of course, Miss J had upper GI projectile issues, followed closely by our dog who also had projectile issues. Going to work with about 2 hours of sleep just sucks.

Part of me wants the holidays to hurry up and come, but then part of me wants it to be next month some time.

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.
