And just flat stay away. I’m sick of you. I’m sick of the mud and the being wet every time I go to do anything. I’m sick of wading through the lake that is the driveway at the preschool. I’m sick of the thought that tomorrow they will hunt Easter eggs, inside. Just as I suspect we’ll be doing most of our hunting on Sunday, in the house. We rarely ever get to do this outside anymore. I feel like the seaons are off and it’s making my mood off. I’m ready for summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer. I love it from a well air conditioned place. I loathe the heat and the sunburn and the damn humidity and the sweat. The sweat is my most favorite thing ever! The only good thing about Summer is that it’s almost Fall, the best season of all. So believe me, when I say I’m ready for summer it means I’m truly sick of the mud puddle that has become Indiana.

Again.

We’re about to have a winter storm. Oh goody. The sad part is that I really need to run out to the store for something, that can’t wait. I think as long as I avoid the bread, milk, and eggs I’ll be ok. No french toast for us! We’re supposed to get the whole deal this time. Snow. Ice. Wind.

I’m lucky I don’t have to go out during it. Sydney has a little sniffle again. Not sure if she keeps picking it up from school or what? Winter just pretty much blows.

Ok so I calmed down, but I sure as heck am not any cooler. For some reason it’s 140 degrees in here.  Oh guess what? Sydney got a Barbie Jelly Camera from school because Santa was there. She’s driven me nuts with it. It had 14 photos on the roll I think. That lasted 1.4 minutes and believe me that was only because she couldn’t figure out how to use the stupid thing. It’s impossible to break, just like the Fisher Price Kids Digital Camera that my mom and bf got her for Christmas. At least that doesn’t run out of film right?

Kevin’s going shopping. Then we are both going shopping. I’m going clothes shopping after I oogle my newly put in bags because he can’t wrap anything Christmas presents. I need clothes like nobodies business. Apparently I’ll pick up the 3rd set of gloves for the kid this year as well since her last ones are MIA!

Let me first start this by saying it’s 19 degrees out. I attempted to wrap some presents last night that were in funky shaped packages and decided I’d throw in the towel and go get two gift bags instead. I’m all about saving myself the misery you know? I don’t want them lying around, so I hid them in my bedroom, got up called the school to see if they were open today, got Sydney ready, and dropped her off.

Maybe it was because it was already one hell of a morning not being able to find matching socks, again, or because she lost her gloves, again, or because it felt like we were in Tahiti because the house was so freaking hot? She could have stayed home, but word on the street is that Santa is coming to school today. Goody Goody Gumdrops.

The roads are ok, but not perfect so I decided to run up the road to Kmart instead of trekking to Walmart. I know, my choices are limited right? I wish they’d burn Kmart down and put a Target there. A super one at that. Not going to happen though. Our Kmart is pitiful, the rumor is that it’s going out of business, but that’s been the rumor for at least 10 years.

I see the one wench that works there is at the counter. That just helps me along into a bad mood because she’s such a witch and my grandma was telling me how badly she treated her the other day. Her name is Angie. When you walk up to Angie she has a habit of not speaking to your or addressing you whilst she is at the customer service desk. If she’s out in the store working she’ll just flat walk away from you.

I’ve returned a memory card for my old camera that just didn’t work and she taped it up and put it back on the shelf. She didn’t care that it was corrupt. I switched it out. The second one didn’t work either, I notified the young girl of the problem and she just took the second return and marked it defective as if she knew it was a going problem. Angie gets pissed if you ask her to return something for you. She sighs and hisses and acts just like you’d expect her to from the look of her.

I go back to the toy isle because it’s right by the gift bags. Now at this point I’m pretty miffed because my two gift bags are the cheapest I can find at $3.00 a pop and they are .97 cents all day long at Walmart, and a lot better looking. I see this baby doll on the Clearance rack that said $19.99. What it actually said was $19.99 and up but the and up was semi covered. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt here.

I know this doll well. I’ve checked the price, seen it in ads, seen it in the stores. It’s generally around $41.00. I look down the isle with baby dolls to see if someone just sat it there and there is a spot for them so I can check the price. It’s the only one in the store. I think, it’s possible that they put it on clearance because it’s the only one left. They have been known to do stranger things.

So I walk right back to the layaway lady and say can you check the price of this for me? She gets mad. I’m even more miffed at that point. Yeah, it’s $68.97. Oh Wow. Ok, thanks. I just kinda chuckle to myself. Wow, when they said and up they meant it. About $28.00 dollars more than the other retail stores in the area. Considering their parking lot is dead most of the time I’m not sure if that’s a smart move or not.

The more I thought about their attitudes the more disgusted I got. So I parked my cart with two bags of Christmas candy for my dish and two gift bags down the detergent isle and walked out. I thought, well, let Angie do something she’s paid for which is put that merchandise back. What I really wanted to do was walk up there and find out if they honored other stores prices because I think they do. Then I wanted to go home, get my sale paper from either Walmart or Meijer that had that doll in it yesterday and force Angie to give it to me $28.00 cheaper.

Just because, I’m feeling like super wench #1.  I’m not sure if it’s because of the holidays and I think people in retail should be a little more apt to help people right now? I mean it’s almost Christmas how can you not be in a cheerful mood? I loved interacting with people when working retail, there is actually something to talk about around Christmas and you can make small talk with anyone that comes in.

I bet the cashiers are Target are friendly.

I wish turkey only cost a nickel.

Ok so here is the thing. I’m cooking my rear end off right now. I waited until 9:00 pm to start cooking. I don’t know why. I mean I haven’t had my period in way over a month and I’ve got this really dull annoying pain in my uterus that kinda feels crampy, kinda feels full, kinda feels like urinary tract or bladder infections. The thought that maybe I quite literally have a turkey in the oven scares me to death.  Mainly because of money. I wonder if I’ll be able to give them both everything they want? Anyway….

I’m excited for turkey day. We actually had a heck of a day here. Got up  and took Sydney to school around 7:40. Came home. Cleaned, watchd DVR and Dr. Phil and sorted out papers in an attempt to get organized. Picked the kid up at 11:30 and on the way got my mail. Saw that the purchases from Ebay were here, minus the one thing I needed which were the boots for Sydney’s outfit tomorrow.

Had a minor hissy fit in my head and then picked her up. She confused my dad’s birthday with hers and invited everyone to her party. We all couldn’t help but laugh cause one little girl was dead set she was coming and she better GET OUR NUMBA before I leave so her mom could call me. I love that kid. They hugged before we left. I assured every single last one of them they could come to her party in April. They all agreed it should be at McDonald’s. Someone shoot me now!

Went to WalMart to get cream colored turtle neck to wear under poncho and cream colored tights. WalMart was just annoying today, but the lines were not the problem. Came home, walked into everything I could in an attempt to become one huge bruise. Took a nap because I am actually feeling better so I wanted to further facilitate the getting better process. Got dinner….talked on phone….started to cook.

Fooled myself into thinking I could do posts from that really cool company that rhymes with a furniture store. Decided to chuck that idea and just go ahead and blog and say that I’m completely stressed out, the laundry is not even close to being done, my house is as hot as an oven, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Ok now I’m fooling myself into thinking that I will make layouts for other sites. Hehe!

I’m sorry, I lose. I’ll be the first to admit that I just lost my own challenge, but I find it hilarious that Mick The Pedo is talking about my child’s bully. Hello? You are the king of all bullies, except you are way worse than this poor little girl at school. You sir are too pussy to actually bully anyone to their face.

Even my own child does not dislike this girl. She’s vocal about what a brat she is and what a bully she is. I’ve witnessed this girl do things like tell another child that she is going to eat her food so she can get her to move away from the toy she wanted, and the girl cried over it. It’s sad.

Sydney almost hit the girl in the head with a swing one day because every time a parent comes in the girl runs over and is all up in your business. I used her name and said watch out you’ll hit **** in the head. This kid was in awe that I used her name and actually had a clue who she was.

Classic signs with this girl and the director can see it because she’s trained. I’m a trained foster parent, I can see certain things as well. While the kid doesn’t need to be such a bully, she’s not beating anyone up she’s attempting to get people to look at her for attention. She’s actually been quite friendly with my kid and Sydney gave her a present the other day. Sydney picked her to give it to.

So while, the director, me, and even my four year old are a little bit more in tune to the situation you are sitting in mama’s basement wiping twinkie stains on your wife beater. I’m surprised a “man” like you with a “son” would say the things you said about how to treat a bully. Would you also suggest your son put on his dress and tuck his balls in while he was crying about being picked on?

I just find your statement so ironic considering how you treat people. Like oh say your new favorite target Krystal. Just cause she has a blog doesn’t mean you have to haunt her or talk about her or drive her away. Maybe we should all band together and call your ISP or your host or possibly write a letter to your parents?

While I have major issues with the way this kid acts because it frustrates me for her, and I think her parents are not doing a great job giving her attention, and I have other beef with the school itself my kid enjoys it. She may choose to be a cheerleader and other girls will be harsh with her and they might call her fat if she is 5lbs over weight. I might not like it, but if she enjoys it I will support her. I won’t however be contacting their parents and telling them what a meanie the kids are or anything. Those are Sydney’s battles to fight and when she gets sick of it she’ll either say mommy whats her face smacked and I have a bruise or she’ll tell her to shut the fuck up. Much like most of us have done with you.

Oh yeah about your legal action statement there genius.

Legal action? oh please you don’t have a leg to stand on, you’d need something called EVIDENCE which is something you have a huge habit of lacking. as for being harrassed and stalked well if you are including me in that statement… good luck with that.

Uh yeah I realize that you tried really hard to spell everything right so you probably didn’t understand most of what you are typing but try to keep up with me. You have got to be the dumbest human being I have ever come across in my entire life. I mean you think that if you call someone stupid and say you are dumbing something down for them it makes you sound smart?  Contrary, you back peddled like a little bitch on this one. You are right about one thing, I would need evidence and well you just PWNED yourself didn’t you? I mean you’d need some evidence that something warranted taking my child away or even calling CPS on me.  Please if you have some proof that I have done something neglectful bring it, otherwise shut the fuck up and leave people alone.

Honestly, comminting suicide is an option for you.

So today was perfect. Let me correct myself, this morning was perfect. Things aren’t so wonderfully perfect, but I’m in a great mood. I called my BFF last night and she didn’t call me back. Now I’m all wondering what is up with her. That’s completely unlike her. Anyway I was calling to see if she wanted to come to preschool with me on Friday for turkey festivities for an hour. I figure she can hold Sydney still while I take the photos (evil grin).  My dad and step mom might be coming with. Sydney doesn’t know that yet.

My dad isn’t working on Friday that I know of because he’s seeing a doctor for a mass in his throat. My grandma had cancer in her throat and my dad now has this problem. He has the scan on Tuesday, the appointment with the specialist is Friday. Other than that, there’s my whole breast deal. If I get drained on Thursday I’m not going to feel like toting anything around on Friday.

Then, we have major extended family drama going on all over the place. I heard that the husband of a family member got arrested yesterday. Despite feeling really depresses about the situation because it is mostly effecting my 15 year old nephew and my father and step mother I’m feeling really happy right now. It’s odd feeling that way. Kevin was equally as pissed off as I was when all the drama started. I honestly think that if he were more of a hot head he’d have said something to this person when he saw him out. It’s just not right to take advantage of kids.

I hope that all our health, and all the legal things going on will be resolved by Thanksgiving, especially Christmas. Ruined holidays are a really bad thing because you just never know if you will be together to celebrate next year. I just really wanted to ramble on in a post to get it all out.

I logged into my old email go check for a reply from Krissy. For some reason my stupid other site has hit bandwidth limits already at mid month. I got an email that was the whole reason I switched email addresses and intended on closing that one in the first place. Apparently I’m being talked about…again. The email made little sense because it was completely idiotic what they were telling me.

Wow, I won’t judge anymore emails before I actually read the source. My first thought was are you serious? My second thought was formulate blog, make look like idiots later. So that’s what I intend to do. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m a threat to society.

So I gave in and put up a pre-made layout on my other site. It’s ok though because it’s a Teresa pre-made and she pretty is the bestest! I’ve got other projects I’m working on so to be able to sit and make an original layout for the other couple of sites that I sometimes neglect is not in my schedule. It’s just not possible. I’ve sat here and tried all weekend, I can’t do it. I can’t find the time, energy, or creativity.

I mentioned that I was going to start an adoption and pregnancy blog. That means I’ll be stripping IzzysBoutique of most of it’s links, etc. I’m taking anything personal or adoption related off of there. When you have delusional people who think they contacted your adoption agency you tend to want to retract back into your hole.

So I’ve gotten this far…

I slapped up the layout. I added some links to some of my friends, etc. to the site and stripped it of all others. If you want a link on there (it’s a pr2) for link building purposes just leave me a comment and I’ll add you ASAP. You can link me back, or not. Whatever you want. It needs content so why not help people build up linkage in the process? You don’t have to be any category or topic specific to qualify, just say the word.

Ok I need to pick the kiddo up from school and then get back to work on it all! Oh and if you have multiple sites you want linked that’s fine as well.

It is so cold today. It is supposedly supposed to get warmer after the sun comes up, I thought the sun was up already, but according to my super smart weather man it’s not. So it’s freezing still at 10:00 am. Winter  coats were worn today. The car was frosty and the fields looked like they had a light coating of snow on them! Yay!

I LOVE IT! The forecast says flurries next week. Don’t tease me people. I’m already planning a hot chocolate night. I can’t wait for it. I just remembered we need whipped cream though. I was also shocked when I got the calendar for preschool today and realized that there are only 3 Thursdays until the big turkey day itself. It all seems to be flying by and with an over excited four year old I just want it to last forever!

No, not Christmas. Ok so Christmas will be super special, but for now I’m excited that it’s cool and there are leaves a plenty on the ground. We bought a pretty big pumpkin tonight as far as carving goes. With a four year old you don’t really want to go too large. Last year we had a very small one. This year we’ll have the larger one and a small one.

We’re going to carve them tomorrow night. I know it’s late, but they will be here for Halloween at least. I personally love pumpkins and think that there is nothing wrong with having the carve pumpkin burning throughout this weekend at least. Then we’ll throw it out and probably get a couple more just for decoration.

I was hoping it would be semi cool, but not freezing for Trick Or Treating and it looks like we’ll get that wish. I also caved and got the Barbie Princess slippers from the toy isle that just happen to match the costume for school. Can we say spoiled?
