still alive

I didn't die.........still here been busy getting the critters ready for school a real post is coming soon I promise.

Nothingness

Its raining today and as much as we really need this rain I am pissed. I wanted to play outside. Take the kids on some more of these wonderful, fun, family walks we have sooooooo been enjoying before school started next week. Guess that is not happening. So instead today we are going to the gym and then going up to Quantico for a hunter safety lecture. Oh what fun.

Maybe I will see some nice bodies in Marine Camo. Now that is something to look forward to!

Hotties as the Princess calls them. Yes, I know I am gonna have to lock her in the basement when she gets to her teenage years. I have a nice little cell already prepared for her down there.

I had to work the last two days, nothing exciting there. Had a dream last night that I got called and finally got offered that job I have been waiting on. A sign? Or just desperation? Probably that latter with my luck.

I cannot wait till next week, when the kids go back to school. Freedom just around the corner. No more whining kids 24/7, we get that nice little break 5 days a week. I love school. Never thought I would say that! If my old school mates and partners in crime could hear me now they would never believe this was me.

Tonight I get to spend 11.5 hours at a sleep study center with my son the Terrorist so that they can watch him sleep to determine whether or not he needs his tonsils out.

Just fucking shoot me now.

I may not return.

The boredom will kill me.

Or I may kill someone.

11.5 hours!

We have to be there at 7:30. Who the hell goes to bed at that time?

NO ONE! That is who. So I get to take a 7 year old boy whose bed time all summer has been whenever he passed out, usually around midnight and make him go to bed while it is still day light out. Yeah this is gonna be fun.

Today I took them on another trail walk, we went about a mile at a local park. With the Princess whining the whole time. I am ready to trade her in now on a newer model.

I hope this little bit of fresh air and walk was enough to wear him out some.

Short but.......oh who the hell am I trying to fool

Taking the kids to a minor league baseball game tonight, I hope I am not bored to tears.

I have never been to a baseball game at any level before so I am not sure what to expect.

I do know they have beer!

So how back can it be?

I need pain meds

This getting the kids to move more and us doing stuff as a family sucks!

My pinkie muscle hurts!

That's all for now hard to type, with every muscle I own screaming at me.

Long, long day

I am wore out.

We started today at 9 a.m. and it ended this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. when we finally stepped back into the house.

This morning we took back off to Westmoreland County to visit George Washington's Birthplace, http://www.nps.gov/gewa/, I was hoping to torture my children some more but we had a much milder walk and tour.

There is not much here to see. It was a nice place that sits on Pope's Creek and if you drive down the park aways you can gain access to the Potomac River. Kid's liked it alot better than Stratford Hall, mostly because the tour was almost all outside and secondly there were real live animals.

They had chickens, sheep, horses and cows. Cows with really big horns on them. I don't know about you folks but anything that out weighs me and has sharp pointy things on its head is not something I really wanta be around with just a wooden fence between us. A fence I might add that was built to period, that means basically it was a bunch of firewood stacked in X's. We didn't Look at the cows long.

After leaving there we flew back to town to the gym. We also did the gym thing yesterday and like today we were 15 minutes late getting there. The Terrorist is the slowest moving kid when I am trying to do something drives me nuts. A cripple with a walker moves faster than this kid. I do not know what his problem is. We park the car, the Princess and I are out on the side walk waiting on him for 5 to 10 minutes and he still doesn't have his damn seat belt off. Any other time he is 6 counties away and I am having to call out the National Guard to go find him. I think it's all part of his plot to send me to the crazy home.

This was the first week I had been to the gym in the last month, needless to say things I didn't even know I owned hurt. The trainer, plus all this outside walking around the last two days has just about done me in. The scale had better reflect all this movement or I am gonna be one ticked off person.

For now it's off to bed. I am even to tired to check out the new challenges on Pogo tonight.

I know the world is coming to and end.

Almost did them in

I tried to kill the kids today!

At least that is what they are telling me. All I did was take them to http://www.stratfordhall.org/. We had a really nice tour of the house. Then we took a ride to this place that over looked the water and went for a little walk in the woods. Round trip the total walk was only like .6 of a mile. The part that killed them was the return walk to the truck........all up hill.

Hey, I told them when we were walking down that hill that we could drive there. Did they listen? NO! They thought the Potomac River just looked so cool they wanted to keep going. When the hill started to go straight down and you had to hold on to these nice little ropes to keep from falling down they should have been concerned about walking back up the hill. Again I gave the the option to turn around and we could drive.

Guess what they wanted to do?

So we pressed on all the way to the bottom of the cliffs to the river, toured around the Gris Mill and the pond then started the walk back to the car. Again .6 of a mile, all up hill you have never heard such whining in your life. We finally make it to the car after many threats of death. The Terrorist tried to sit down several times, which by the way I should mention we were walking in the road at this point. He has a habit of doing this, last summer in Philly he would sit down at every street light and yell of a taxi. Needless to say I am not impressed with this. There were no taxis for him to hail today so I do not know what he was going to do after he sat.

We get back to the car I give them water and they cool off then they both inform me that they want to take there next hike in the mountains. UMMM........... .6 of a mile up hill in Westmoreland County Virginia they could barley do, but they want to go to a mountain and walk up it. I think not! At least not any time soon.

I told them we would do some more local trails and see how we handled that first before we made any big trips to go hiking for real. We have lots of work ahead of us if this is going to be one of our new hobbies. I do not want to discourage it, cuz hey it's exercise, better than them sitting on their butts playing that damn DS all day and its cheap. I am all for cheap.

Plus I get to take pictures while we play. Sounds like a good deal to me. So tomorrow depending on the weather we are going to go for another walk in the woods. Hopefully they will survive. Cross your fingers. The Princess meets with her trainer tomorrow afternoon so we will see if it is to much for her. Tonight she was in bed asleep at 6 p.m. .

I am loving it!!

13 more days!!!

This sums up my day

Wicked Bitch of the East

Tomorrow is my Aunts funeral.

I am so tempted to go show my ass. It is killing me not to. I will probably have to force myself to drive in the opposite direction to go home. I could go right past the funeral home, if I wanted to, but that would just make me as big of an ass as those people.

Soooooooooo.........for once in my life, I do believe I am going to try to be the bigger person and control my urges. It is killing me. I am not use to keeping my opinions to myself.

I will most likely be the Wicked Bitch from the East tomorrow at work due to this. (hey I gave you fair warning).

I said I was gonna be the bigger person, not that I was gonna be happy about it.

Take a hike

So I have decided that I want to hike.

Yes. You heard me right.

No. I haven't lost my mind.

I just don't know where I wanta start this. I mean I don't wanta go to the mountains and get lost with 2 kids and run into a bear. Not cool.

I don't wanta get into something over my head and be a mile into the woods and not be able to get back to my car with 2 kids and have to call for a Park Ranger. Embarrassing.

I guess I should start at a local park.

You think they have trails for sissy's?

I will have to think this over some more. I thought about a hired guide. I did Google that one. They were like 4 mile hikes for the beginner hikes. Definitely way to advanced for me right now.

Wonder if I walk to the mailbox real fast......does that count as a hike?

Another reason my kids will need counseling

Setting: Third row seat of my car. Two screaming kids, who for the love of God just cannot control themselves, one mom who has had it.

Mom: You know this thing has 4 wheel drive.

Kids: Yeah (back to fighting over a DS)

Mom: But to turn it on you cannot be in the car or at least not in the way back.

Kids: (they look up, but continue to fight over the freaking DS. By the way I now hate pokemon)

Mom: Yea, with this model to make room for all the 4x4 stuff the rear opens and the back seats flip out.

Kids: (now wide eyed, no more fighting, checking traffic out behind them, and lets remember its August in Virginia) It does not

Mom: Sure does. Why do you think the other car did not have a third row of seats. (for those of you that don't don't know my old vehicle was also an Explorer)

Kids: (still wide eyed, still checking traffic behind them) I don't believe you!

Mom: Well let me just press this little button.........

Kids: (in terror) NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Okay so I am so going to Hell, but the rest of the ride home was so nice. The last 10 minutes of it anyways was quite. I think by the time we arrived they had decided quietly I might add in the way back that I was lying, but they still weren't chancing it by challenging me with it again while we were moving.

Today was a pretty great day!!



Okay, Lorri pick yourself up off the floor from laughing and yes I am feeling fine.

I got rid of my grocery go getter also know as a 1995 Ford Escort Wagon, that I had purchased a million years ago when I was married to the Sperm Donor. Which had until today been just sitting in the driveway taking up space because even though there was nothing wrong with the vehicle I just refused to drive a station wagon, since I have reached a point in my life now that I no longer have to run on a beer budget, Thank you Jesus. So I have just been telling people that the radio didn't work and I refused to drive it. They would just give me that look at chalk it up to it was me and move on.

So anyways, I called the junk man, he came and got it, gave me $150.00 to haul it off and while I was taking my belongings out of it I found another $12.00 I had stuck up under the visor for whatever reason. Yea me!!

Was feeling great until............


I left the house today and blew about $200.00, but we won't mention that.

Half of that I spent bonding with the kids.........

SEE......

Its a cell pic. so it sucks, but don't they look like angels painting their Christmas tress at http://www.kidsnclay.com/Page22.asp. I love this place, it keeps the kids busy for hours. We were there today for like 3 hours and time flew. The kids like it cuz they always have this cool stuff to do.

That is my pumpkin in the front there. I picked that nasty little sucker figuring he would be a quick paint job. NOT! The kids got done before I did. I am rather sick of him at this point in my day, but I think he is gonna turn out pretty cute. We get the stuff back next Monday so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Off to cook dinner, kids are screaming.

Now I need a hairdresser

So this newest family drama leaves me without a hairdresser!

This is like a 922 (a semi emergency)

One simply cannot be going around with enough roots to cover a whole trailer park.

The plus side here, at my cousins picnic yesterday one of his long time friends wives does hair. Her shop is a little ways out, but if she is good I won't mind it. I just hope she is good at what she does. So I am gonna call her tomorrow and hopefully go pay her a visit on Friday. Cuz I have me some roots.

One of my friends had given me the number of the girl that does her hair, she is closer in but is also near to that person I use to consider myself related to place of business and I am just not ready to face him yet. I am still so livid that the only word that will come out of my mouth will be the "F" word and I do not want sound like the trash they are when I blast his ghetto ass in public. That day is coming!

Picnic was fun yesterday minus this old drunk guy that showed up so drunk he could barely stand. At one point grabbed my son up so hard he now has a bruise and claw marks on his shoulders. I did think I was going to have to kill someone at that point, but I went off on him a little bit (ok so I snapped like a tard, but don't touch my babies) and his drunk ass went off to aggravate others. The mans wife got so embarrassed she ran inside and hid from me the rest of the day. There has always go to be one.

I learned yesterday that my punk ass cousin has, count them, three! Three! Three Harley's! Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

I am thinking he should give me one.

He didn't see the logic in that one either.

Hey, I had to try.

None of them are black, but he has three of them. No one should have that many Harley's, be related to me and I not know it.

I am now off to chase the Princess in the shower, she spent the day in the pool yesterday, came home and passed out without washing her hair. Ought to be a fun fight this morning dangling that mess. You should be able to hear her screaming at your house.

This is why I hate the world

I was upset over my aunt's passing until today I read the obit, there had been an long standing "fight" for lack of better word between her and my father. Damned if those lying no good bastards didn't leave him out of the obit. It wasn't like they didn't talk anymore it was just no one went out of their way to talk to anyone.

The part that burns me is it was over a lie that my aunt told.

Let me repeat that, A Lie My Aunt Told!

Did I mention this lie was told to a newspaper.

And that she owed my father money that she never repaid and that he just let slide.

Not my father. For years my cousin and I have been stuck in the middle of this and I thought remained neutral, boy was I wrong. That whole thing about cutting ties, yea they can all bite me. I am so angry this morning I could hurt someone. Don't mess with my daddy!

Their loss I guess. Not mine all I can see that cutting this particular tie will do is leave me with less drama in the world of Jenny. Lord knows I could definitely do without that.

This would also explain why the little shithead was not taking my phone calls last night, he knew he should go underground in hiding. Trying to avoid my mouth, little does he know I just don't care anymore, it is not worth it. I could yell and scream, but I am over that. Some people I am finding these days are just not worth it.

Life sucks today

My Aunt died this morning and then this evening I found out that my Great Uncle passed away. Not in the mood for any posts, but felt I needed to check in so you guys would know that I didn't just drop off the face of the earth.

It's all about nothing....

I get to go school shopping again today. (Doing the happy dance)

I! LOVE! IT!

Alright enough of that topic.

To catch you guys up on the last couple of days, nothing happened. I got up went to work came home and crashed both nights. Work sucked am glad that the weekend is over. I really wish that the Marshall's would call and make a final offer. I don't know how much longer I can put up with this place.

I get to go back to the gym this week, my trainer will prob kill me to make up for me missing like the last 2 or was it 3 weeks. I am so not looking forward to that. So if I go missing for a couple days it will be due to the fact that my finger muscles ache.

Another one of my friends called, her sister is really sick with cancer they have given her till the end of September to live. She is only in her early 50's very sad. Seems like everyone around me these days is sick or dying, very depressing. I hate that there is nothing I can say to these people (my cousin his mother is on her death bed as well) I guess really there is nothing to say just to listen to them, but it really rather sucks.

Enough with that depressing shit, on the up side there are 27, count them 27 more days until school starts. I am overjoyed.

Well folks I am off to do my homework.

30 days and counting

My favorite time of the year is here folks, yes that is right, school shopping time. That means school is just around the corner. I took my critters out the other day spent a billion bucks on half of what they need and still have to go back and do it all over again to finish.

The whole time grinning like a fool!

The end is in site. Hallelujah! There is a Jesus! Praise the Lord! and all that other shit you see those people on t.v. screaming!

I have my first week they are back to school all planned out. The day I am not working I will be enjoying liquid lunches in grown up restaurants with grown ups and looking down my nose at those mothers with children with them.

Yes, Queen Bitch that is I, when my kids are in school. After 7 years of hard time I feel I have earned it.

Off to bed now that day of "freedom" at work just about killed me today.

Finally Wicked!

No, not me.

I already have that base covered.

The musical is finally coming to Virginia!! (Insert me doing the happy dance)

I saw it in Philadelphia last year, looooooovvvveeed it. Wanted to go see it again, but really was hoping it would come close and now it is coming. My day is complete. Those of you who haven't seen this musical need to it is awesome. I highly recommend it and I hate everything so those of you who know me know that is quite the recommendation!

Their website is http://www.wickedthemusical.com/# check it out, if its near you GO! You will not be disappointed.
