I know everywhere there is going to be some kind of violence, drugs, and other horrible things, but I never thought it would be in my own backyard.
We live in a county that is known for the cheaper property, and drugs. If you tell someone around here you live in Greene County, they automatically give you the look of "oh you live OUT THERE" and assume you are that type of person. We are not that type, and don't want our children to be brought down by the assumptions.
About a week before school was out, my son brought home a letter from his teacher stating that a couple of boys in his class had gotten into some trouble. Upon further reading and talking to my son, I found out the little boys were caught dealing pot (aka weed, mary jane, gonga, marijuanna) to each other.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PARENTS?!?!?! My son doesn't know what pot is (at least he didn't until then) and has never seen it. So how do the little boys know what to do with it? And how did the other child who told on them know what it was? Are parents that stupid to do that around their children, or do they just not give a shit?
My son was upset because he was friends with the little boys. Of course if I had known what type of kids they were I would have put a stop to that. But I think he was more upset over the fact that I flipped my shit and threatened to call the news channels and make a huge spectacle of the whole thing. He didn't want the little boys to get into anymore trouble, and didn't want any attention brought to the situation.
Seriously though, in 4th grade? I expect that kinda stupidity in high school, but not elementary! I know I can't shelter my children from stuff like that, but I'll be good god damned if my 10 year old is exposed to drugs, sex, or violence, at school. I know I'm not the only parent who feels this way, but it only takes that 1 parent who doesn't give a shit, to screw up what I'm doing with my child(ren).
The Husband and I talked to our son and explained to him why it was bad what the little boys had done, and told him that kids like that generally end up worse as they get older. He said he felt sorry for the little boys because they got expelled for the rest of the year (there were only 7 days left), but that he understood what they did was wrong.
Those little boys will be able to return to the school next year, but my children will not be there. Thank God!

Just another day in the life of Me
When The Husband is home from work, the first thing he usually does is take a shower & get into his sleep shorts. The other day he got home & was just ready to chill out out. He is looking all over the bedroom for his sleep shorts, throwing crap around, yelling at me for potentially putting them in the laundry when they weren't dirty. Just stupid crap cause he couldn't find his sleep shorts.
He pulls out another pair, flinging them of course because hes mad he has to get new shorts out. Like he does the laundry or something!
He goes to take his pants off, still bitching mind you, and low and behold, he had the damn shorts on under his work pants the whole time!!!
Yeah.. who's the dummy now!

Just a mouse & a car
I don't freak out over many things, but when this happened to me I acted like a big wuss!
I was driving to work the other day, just bee-bopping along, only about 5 miles to go before I'm there. Something catches my attention on the dash over on the passenger side, and when I look over I see a FREAKING MOUSE!!!!!!
I start screaming (literally!) I roll the window down & keep telling the little guy to just jump, it will only hurt for a minute. It acts like it's going to, then turns & runs over to in front of me. I have no where to pull over so I just keep screaming while it runs back & forth on my dash.
I finally get to a place I can pull off (a gas station) & I whip it in there all Mario Andretti style & slam it into park while jumping out. I find the first person I see & run over to them. "You have to help me" I say to the guy, and he looks at me like I'm being chased or something. "No seriously, you have to help me, I have a mouse in my car, and I cant drive with it in there" The guy backs up & gives me the look of "you are on your own." I think he decided to help me when he saw my knees shaking & thought I might just cry.
He asks if he can open the doors and of course I tell him go for it. So we open all the doors on my van, its just sitting there wide open in the middle of the gas station. People are driving by trying to figure out whats going on, because all the while I'm dancing around like a crazy woman.
The guy tells me to keep an eye on it & make sure it doesn't go down into my dash. I'm on the phone with my boss telling her I'm going to be late, and why & she is hysterical laughing at me. While shes laughing at me, the little fucker goes down into my dash. I yell for the guy & tell him hes gone, and about the that time I see it go running across my floorboards to the back of the van. We start chasing that thing all over until , finally the guy says "I think it crawled out the drivers side" YOU THINK?!?!?! I can't get into the car unless you are 100% sure!!!
He assures me that its fine & Ill be fine. I think he didn't want to help me anymore cause he was scared too. By now I'm on the phone with The Husband (he is hysterical laughing at me too) & he keeps telling me to get in the car, but I just physically cant get in! I'm so scared that its still in there that I keep psyching myself out.
Finally I get in, but I'm driving with one foot in the seat & sitting straight up so I can see the whole dash, just in case. When I get to work, my boss is still laughing her ass off at me. She says "Best I'm gonna be late for work call, EVER" Thanks, glad my misfortune is funny to you!
Still not sure if the little bugger got out, but I haven't seen him since. The Husband said to put a mouse trap in the back, but I'm not sure that would be any better. I can just imagine me driving down the road when I hear the damn thing snap! I would probably wreck, or piss my pants over the fact the damn thing was still in the car with me!

I have some pretty cool kids..
I'm not one of those moms that brags all the time about my kids.. I know my kids are awesome, and lets face it, if you have met my kids you will agree they are pretty freaking awesome, but I have to just say I'm gonna brag about all the good things they have done recently, for just a second..
My daughter, Bubbles, recently made all A's & 1 B+. This is really good since that B+ was a C in the middle of the 9 weeks. She was upset she only got that B+, but decided she will just do more work to bring it up. I love that my kid is concerned with her grades, especially since she has always said she wants to be a Dr. Yesterday she tried out for a part in the school play & called me this morning to tell me she got in. I always knew that drama queen personalty would get her somewhere (in case the Dr thing doesn't work out).. Then today she tells me she will be getting an award at the end of the year for Most Outstanding Student. That girl is on FI-YAHH!!
The Boy is turning 10 in a couple days, and he is a typical 10 year old boy. Bruises, and muddy clothes. But that little boy kind of faded away for a second around Valentines day when he kept asking me how to let a girl know you like her. Since it was close to the Day of Love, and Valentines would be exchanged I told him to make her a special one. So he did & gave her 4 Hershey kisses instead of 2 like everyone else. He is going to make some girl very happy.. He also made the A-B Honor Roll, and could really care less, he was just glad they weren't Ds or Fs.. He is so his fathers son!
Flayla decided to pop the top on the gummy vitamins and eat all but about 12 of them. Of course I freaked out a little, and found that as long as it didn't have iron in it she would be fine. Luckily our vitamins were iron free, and there was no need for an ER trip. She also made the A-B Honor Roll (if you consider Os +s and Ss as As and Bs). She reads at a 4th grade reading level in 2nd grade, and reads 116 words per minute. That's a lot of freaking words for such a little girl.
Enough bragging about my kids, but now you know who cool they are!

I had one of my moments...
There are things that I do that make The Husband just shake his head & tell me he loves me. Here is one of those stories...
(Its dark & cold, and I'm looking at my phone..)
Walking to the place where my van is parked after work one night, I notice dents in the side of the van.. I continue looking & notice the big ass dents down the entire drivers side..
I'm freaking out, cussing & looking around, ready to kick some ass.. I got to open the door, and notice the handle isn't the same.. That's when I really start looking around..
Yeah its not my van... my van is parked 2 spots over....
Ok now go ahead & shake you head & say you love me : )

Dear God, Please help me....
My daughter is going to be 12 this year, so we have been having several talks & discussions about her ever changing body.. We have had the birds and the bees talk, question & answer sessions, even read through a book from 1970, with pictures & everything. So I just assumed she understood everything, until something she said the other day..
Me: Changing laundry out of the washer, & putting it into the dryer. A pair of The Husband's boxers flings to the floor in front of her feet.
Bubbles: "EWWW gross.. Boy parts.. I'm not touching any boy parts"
Me: "Good I like to hear you say that.."
Bubbles: Well I mean I wont ever, I just mean two times, cause that's how many kids I want.
Me: Umm oookk
Bubbles: Well I mean you have only touched boy parts three times, cause that's how many kids you have.
Me: Why you are so right kiddo, Go with that!!

How I Met your Father...
With tomorrow being Valentine's Day I thought I'd give the sweet story of how I met my husband and ended up marrying him.
It was 2002, and I was going through a rough time in life. At 20 years old, I had a baby, and was already getting ready to divorce the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with. So when he moved out I went a little "buckwild". I partied every weekend that I didn't have my daughter, and went out with every guy I could.
I had friends staying with me to help with the bills, and they were always bringing new people over. I never did anything when my daughter was with me, so when she was gone I let loose. My apartment was known as the place to party, so random people were in and out all the time.
One weekend right before Valentine's Day, my friend got a call from this guy she knew. He wanted to know what she was doing hat night. She told him she was partying at my house and that he was more than welcome to come hang out. He asked if he could bring a friend, and of course a party is always better with more people, so she said sure.
When he showed up, we both realized we knew each other, and started catching up. I didn't even notice the guy that came with him,that was until I went to my kitchen & he was in there chatting with other people. I introduced myself, and said "Welcome to my Humble Abode" (yeah I was a bit of a weirdo). He said "thanks for having me, its a fun party", and that's when I really noticed him. He had the biggest blue eyes, a sweet smile, and a very sexy voice!
As the night progressed ( and the drinks kept coming), my friend pulled out the new video camera she got for Christmas. She was taping everyone and having a good time, but she was on the other end of the camera so I took it from her so she could be in some of the video. Apparently I wasn't as concerned as I thought about having her in the video, because I kept the camera on him for 30 mins. Yes, 30 mins of me just staring at him from the back of a video camera!! That's creeper material right there. Then he started dancing to N'SYNCs song Bye Bye Bye; he knew every step, and I was hooked!!
He made his move on me and we stayed up all night talking. The guys went home the next day, but came back that evening (the other guy & my friend hit it off too) to spend some more time with us. That was a Sunday which meant my daughter was going to be coming home. Apparently the new guy missed the memo about me having a baby (the pics on my walls weren't a dead give away or anything) and was a little freaked out. He started asking my friends about her, and giving me the 3rd degree. It was close to her bedtime so I gave her a bath, and fed her a bottle. She fell asleep, I put her to bed, and went back to hang out. I left the room for seriously 2 secs and when I came back both the guys were gone. I asked where they had gone and my friend wasn't entirely sure. So I go upstairs and what do I see? Both the guys looking over my sleeping baby in her crib. Ok now I'm freaked the F out.. What the Hell are these guys doing? They proceed to tell me they both have nephews that they adore and think sleeping babies are sweet & innocent. I'm a little less freaked out, but still think they may be the creeper type.
We spent a few weeks together, learned things about each other, and took the baby for walks to the local park. During all of this I was moving out of my apartment and he helped move my stuff. He was such a good guy and with everything I was going through he stuck by me.
We took a little trip just the 2 of us after about a month after dating. While walking on the beach, he turned to me and said "I have never felt this way about any girl I have ever been with, will you marry me?" Of course I was going through a horrible divorce and wasn't in any place to be with another guy, but there was something about him that made me feel safe and wanted. He stuck with me through all I was going through, loved my little girl like she was his, and always had my back.
Once we found out I was pregnant with our son, we decided it was time to make it official. My divorce was final, and we thought what better time to do it then Valentine's Day. I was 6 1/2 months pregnant, and wanted to be married before the baby arrived; so we called our 2 friends, met at them at the courthouse, and got married by the Justice of the Peace. Afterwards he took to Wendy's for lunch, ran by the grocery to get me ice cream, and then went to work. That was how our first night of marriage went. Pretty exciting right?!
This Valentine's Day marks our 10 year wedding anniversary (a total of 11 years together), and it has been the best 10 years ever. We have had another child, and experienced so many exciting things together. I can't wait to spend many more years with this amazing guy.
What can I say we are retarded for each other <3
