Miscellaneous Stuff!

Just some random things to post today!

I've picked my American Idol favorites:
Girls ~ Paris, Lisa, & Katherine...Katherine is my fave!
Boys ~ Ace & Taylor...Taylor is my fave!
Looks like it's going to be another awesome season. I also have to say that I absolutely cannot stand Brenna! Ugh!

Booger-Butt has been especially boogery lately. But it's a cute boogery, not ornery. I honestly think he's just trying to be funny, and not trying to misbehave. Here are some examples:

Last night, both kids were in Sugar-Booger's room watching a movie before bed. Sugar-Booger came screaming out of her room with Booger-Butt hot on her heels, laughing fiendishly. I could tell that although she was screaming, Sugar-Booger was trying not to laugh. I asked her what was going on, and she told me that Booger-Butt was trying to put the TV remote down her undies. Lordamercy!

This morning, Booger-Butt was being very ornery as I was trying to get everyone out the door for school. So I pulled out the wooden spoon and asked him if I needed to spank him...sometimes that's the only thing that works, lol. What did he do? He put his hands on his hips(just like I do!), narrowed his eyebrows(just like me!), and said, "No! I spank you, Mama!". It's terribly hard not to laugh at him, because he's just too darn cute.

It's only 11:00 in the morning...I'm sure he's going to do something else today!

Stressed!

My friend Heather is always sending me the most hilarious stuff! So I had to share this one she sent today. Wouldn't it be so much FUN to just say this?!

THINGS STRESSED WOMEN MIGHT SAY AT WORK
1. Okay, okay! I take it back. Unfuck you.
2. You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.
3. Well, this day was a total waste of make-up.
4. Well, aren't we a damn ray of sunshine?
5. Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after.
6. Do I look like a people person?
7. This isn't an office. It's hell with fluorescent lighting.
8. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
9. Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble wrap is cheap. You choose.
10. Why don't you try practicing random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self-control?
11. I'm not crazy. I've been in a very bad mood for 30 years.
12. Sarcasm is just one more service I offer.
13. Do they ever shut up on your planet?
14. Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't gone to sleep yet!
15. Back off!! You're standing in my aura.
16. Don't worry. I forgot your name too.
17. I work 45 hours a week to be this poor.
18. Look in my eyes.....Do you see one ounce of give-a-shit?
19. Wait...I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
20. Chaos, panic and disorder. . . my work here is done.
21. Ambivalent? Well, yes! and no.
22. You look like shit. Is that the style now?
23. Earth is full. Go home.
24. Aw, did I step on your poor little itty bitty ego?
25. I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.
26. You are depriving some village of an idiot.
27. If assholes could fly, this place would be an airport.

Junior & MySpace

WooHoo!!! Nascar is back!!!

Yesterday we had my brother and sil and their family over for a Nascar brunch. We pigged out on tons of yummy food, then cranked up the surround sound and rocked out to Bon Jovi opening up the 2006 Nascar season at the Daytona 500.

It was an AWESOME race, although stinkerpot Jimmie Johnson won it. Dale Earnhardt Jr. led the most laps and finished in the top 5. Looks like he's going to have a much better season this year. Junior's baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Have any of you heard of MySpace? I know Candle Lady has, lol. If you would like to add me as a friend, my url is http://www.myspace.com/northernnonsense It's alot of fun!

Well, I'm at work...I guess I should look like I'm doing something!

Sisters

One week from today, my older sister Rebecca will officially be living in Alaska. She is leaving Georgia and all its bad memories behind, and starting a new life here.

Most of you know her story. Her husband was a chauvinist pig and verbally, mentally, & physically abused her. She finally mustered up the courage to leave him about 2 years ago, only to find out that he severely molested their 2 kids at the ages of 3 and 2.

She is on a crapload of medications just to keep her feet on the ground. She has been extremely dependant on my poor parents, and they just can't keep up the pace anymore.

So, our family has pulled together and we're moving her and the kids up here to Alaska. My younger sister and her hubby bought their plane tickets. My sil and I have been gathering furniture and everything needed for her apartment, as well as filling out all the paperwork for her to get my niece enrolled in Kindergarten and get Medicaid, food stamps, and SSI.

Needless to say, I'm feeling a little stressed about her arrival. I want her to have a fresh start, and I want her to gain some independence, but I also know that she is going to need so much help to begin with.

Her 4 year old son is severely autistic as well, and that is also worrying me. He doesn't handle change well at all, and I'm sure he's going to be extremely difficult to deal with for the first few months.

Anyway, if you think of her, say a little prayer that she makes the trip without mishaps and that the kids will cooperate and settle in quickly to their new life in Alaska.

Oh yeah...we're getting her divorce finalised too! Yeehaw!

A little late, but....

I hope you all had a wonderful V-Day!

I'm getting ready to make a yummy supper for my family, then we're watching American Idol and the Winter Olympics!

Hug and kiss the ones you love...:)

Dreams...

So, the Winter Olympics have begun.

I get totally caught up in these things, lol!

When I was a little girl, I used to lie in bed at night and dream of being a beautiful figure skate with long, thin legs. I would draw pictures of myself with the cute sequinned outfits. And I would always pretend that my ice skating partner was my handsome husband.

Funny...today, I would fall flat on my ass if I put a pair of skates on, and Tonebone hasn't worn skates in I don't know how long!

Most of my dreams from way back then HAVE come true. I have a college education, a wonderful husband, and the 2 best kids in the world.

This is my present dream: to live each day to the fullest capacity, in the company of the ones I love!

This is me!

Website of the Month!

Awwwww, I'm touched. My friends over at Moms-Online chose my blog for website of the month. Thanks, you guys!

So, about this blogging thing: I'm really starting to get into it. I think at different times during the day, "Oh, I'll have to blog this, etc." It's been a great way to "talk" about things going on in my head and heart...otherwise, I think I might end up in a padded room with fingerpaints.

Have I said lately how much I appreciate all my online friends? I've known Java and Candle Lady for 4 years now! And one of my fondest memories is of meeting Java IRL 2 years ago. What a blast our girls had playing with Husker! And Candle Lady would have never gone and bought a preggo test for Saira if I hadn't made her do it, lol! I don't know what I would do without my online buds!

Can I also just say that I am so thankful for my children. They are such a joy to me!

Today is a good day...:)
