Lord Help Me!

Yesterday started out like any normal day. Running late for work as usual. Ended with a bang. Literally. Bubba (who does not quite have his license yet) took the car out of the driveway and smashed it into a tree. Superdaddy is going to kill him when he gets home and finds out. I haven't told him yet as he is on the road at work and there really is no point in raising his blood pressure unnecessarily.

We are all sick in our house. I haven't had a good night sleep in almost a week.

Christmas is a mere 2 days away. Things are bought, things are ready to be wrapped. There isn't enough time in the day.

God Bless and Merry Christmas to all.

Eagle Scout?

My brain is fried. My anxiety level is so very high. I have forgotten to mention a "good anxiety peaker". Bubba has his "Eagle Board of Review" today. HOLY CRAP!!!

I almost have an Eagle scout at my house!

I'm a failure

I failed the 3 hour gtt test. Guess that means no more soda, candy, sweets, chips, carbs, fruit and what ever else for me.

I have been eating so much healthier this pregnancy than I did with the other 3. First one I gained about 60 lbs. Second one I gained bout 35. Third one I gained about 25. This one, 8 so far. I go back to the dr. November 24.

I am so disappointed. What exactly does a GD woman eat? Know what I am most disappointed by? I will never be able to be a kidney donor. Not a live donor anyways. For a deceased donor, they have to take my kidney with the understanding that it is high risk for failure. Plus I am at a higher risk for developing kidney failure. I am so bummed.

This will be a very quiet weekend. The guys are looking for bambi or bambi's mother this weekend up north. Hopefully, they will bring home enough meat to fill our freezer.

Yesterday

Yesterday was a very tough day for me. Yesterday was 7 years since my father passed away. I didn't feel too much like talking.

Today the detective called regarding Bubba. The victim's family never brought her back in for re interviewing by the prosecutor. The prosecutor gave them plenty of time. Prosecutor got fed up with jerking around with them and DISMISSED the case!! DENIED THE WARRANT!

Thank you all for your good thought and good vibes. They were appreciated more than you could ever imagine.

Wanna hit the bar? I sure do to celebrate but Thumper protests :)

So I just found out the polygraph test for Bubba is going to be Monday. Don't know what time yet just Monday. Mom bought me Chinese food for lunch and I just ate my fortune cookie. Want to know what my fortune was?

HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT PREPARE FOR THE WORST.


Messed up thing...2 cookies, same fortune on both.


What does that say about Monday? I cannot take much more. I think I am gonna vomit.

Better day

We are supposed to go to see the school buses race in the figure 8 this Saturday. Hopefully PIA will allow the girls to come seeing how it is father's day and all. The storms in the mid west are heart breaking. They certainly need a break. After hearing about all the deaths and tragedy, I feel guilt for wallowing in my problems and realizing how blessed I really am. We have a 2 income home and healthy children. We are able to afford to feed and clothe them. We are able to afford to do a few extras as well and I am sitting on the "pity potty" about the legal problem with Bubba. Wondering what the hell I am going to do with him. He really is a great child. Little mouthy at times (most of the time). He does what he is asked to do after reminding him more than 10 times to do it. Gets good grades at school; only got suspended 2 times this year; now this. Poor choice of actions, poor judgement, valuable lesson none the less.

With all of the stress, it was amazing that I did not smoke at all. Baby probably saved me from my crazed addiction. My kidney's did not fair as well as my lungs though. I drank a 2ltr of Mtdew and paid for it now boy.

Dr. appt sucked butt yesterday. They did a pregnancy test, asked a boat load of questions, and stuck me for 12 tubes of blood. Oh yeah I had to do the 1 hour GTT at 8 weeks 3 days pregnant. Figure that one out. Probably because I am overweight. No worries, things have so far checked out. HIV negative, STD negative, GTT negative, IRON low, Pregnancy test POSITIVE (good thing or I would have been mad drinking that sugar shit).

Happy Father's day to everyone. Give your dad's a hug. Dad I miss you more today than I did yesterday. Love you!

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!!!

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.

Grey Hair Already?

Where did this grey hair come from?

This weekend was so super busy I am exhausted. Our pipe is clogged up and a friend (NF from previous post) was helping me with laundry. Instead of me sitting in a laundry mat, she washed and dried clothes for me during the week while she was at home and I paid her. Yesterday I was folding the clothes and sorting them out and founds some interesting things. I found barbie purse, hair brush, ink pen, 2 barbie shoes (they didn't match), belt, 2 condoms. Yeah my thought exactly. WTF? Superdaddy and Bubba were out hunting and I looked at "the find" and was trying to decide what to do. Bubba is 14 and we have had "that talk" and I did offer to go to the store and get some for him. I just was shocked. The thought did cross my mind about Superdaddy seeing how he is on the road more than he is home. When Superdaddy called, I mentioned to him to talk to Bubba and being responsible and such. Then I was thinking...SD (sperm donor) was just 15 when I got pregnant with Bubba. Please Lord, grant me patience to deal with puberty.

Happy Birthday Bubba!!

Isn't he handsome? This picture was taken Memorial weekend last year. The little bugger has avoided the camera a lot this last year (he doesn't like his braces). Anyways, Bubba turns 14 today. Where has the time gone? Superdaddy and I have made bets that SD does not remember and call him and his step mother SDW will only text message him. He has not heard from his dad since the funeral for SD's grandmother. At the funeral, SD told him to make sure Bubba didn't make him a grandfather that SD was too young. Nice conversations I tell ya.

Below is a picture of Bubba's brother Mr. M. Bubba and Mr. M share a SD (sperm donor). Mr. M has not had any contact with SD in over 3 years. I keep in contact with Mr. M's mother for the boys' sake. It is not fair to them that their father is a looser.

Off to see "the faces on the mountain" tomorrow. Will share pictures upon return. Ever wonder how dum-dum pops are made? Will let you know when we get back as we are going to the dum-dum factory to see! Ta ta for now :)

Proud of you Bubba

Where to begin. Bubba will be 14 in a little over 2 weeks. Damn that makes me feel old. He has been able to attend 3 summer camps this year with no help from sperm donor. The first was for Youth Leader skills. To help him become more of a leader instead of a follower. The second was for eagle scout specific classes. The third was this week for his troop camping. He has completed his final "eagle required" merit badge. Now all he needs to do is go up a rank (which he is really close to right now) and do an eagle project to benefit the good of someone else.

On family night, my son was asked to come back this week as a CIT. Basically grunt work. He will work his tail off for free as a "councilor in training". He gets to live in "Tent City" something he has wanted since forever; well since as long as I can remember. So this week he embarks on his 4th week of summer camp. Glad this week doesn't cost anything that is for sure.

DQ called Saturday. Apparently her cousin was getting married and she needed us to baby sit. Kills me I tell ya. So on her weekend, the girls came over. Them girls were so disappointed that I didn't take them to family night. DQ said NO they cannot go. We took them fishing on Sunday when we dropped Bubba off. So it looks like potentially, we will have the girls for the next 3 weekends if DQ lets them go on vacation with me and the kids (superdaddy has to work) to South Dakota to see "the faces on the mountain". We will have to see as she told the girls they could go to family night and wouldn't let them. Personally that is what I see happening again. Who knows, maybe I will take them across state lines and leave their sassy mouth's out west. Just kidding. Stay tuned for fishing pictures later today.

The girls fishing on the dock.

Chicky catching mom's favorite kind of fish: GRASS BASS!!

Best Hubby around

Can I just brag about my hubby for one second?

This weekend was sort of rough at first but turned out to be wonderful. He had to work for like 80% of it. When he was tired and cranky, he found a way to fix my vehicle. The back door has been stuck for quite a while and would not open. He went out there and took out some aggression (i assume) by beating the hell out of it and VWALLA.....IT OPENS NOW!!

Thanks Superdaddy. Like you didn't have anything better to do :)

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!!
