“A” Is For Apple

Yes, I just got out of pre-school. Today was my turn for snacks which means that I have to spend the entire 2 ½ hours at school.
Basically I’m “teachers helper” wiping down tables, vacuuming, and making sure no one drowns themselves in the damn toilet. I had to take Austin with me today since Grannie is out of town…he had a lot of fun playing with all the toys and running around with the big kids.
During circle time, Ruby had to go to the bathroom, she was taking forever…finally the teacher asked me to check up on here which I did. I walked in the door and she was standing there drying her hands, BUT her hair was also sticking straight out both sides. Guess who was playing in the soap? hahahaha I just patted it dry and hoped it wouldn’t make her scalp itch.
Kids.
So anyhow, I spend the majority of the time blowing my nose, washing my hands and cleaning up toys, but all in all it was pretty fun. My leave favorite part was taking the garbage out. Not cuz I’m some girly girl and can’t handle it but because I’m a friggen dipshit who has one hell of a time with combination locks and the chain on the dumpster is tighter than…well…tight. After fighting with it for over 5 minutes, I opened the lock and then had to fidget with it some more to get it to lock. What a wimp.
I was over 5 minutes late picking up Shea. She was out in front of the school playing with Ambar and shouted, “Mom! I was worried!” Well, I explained to her that on the days I have snack duty I might be a few minutes late but told her to make sure she stays put in front of the school and not to wander off anywhere.
Tomorrow I get to be the bad guy and take Cheeseburger to the vet to get his little ballywoggins cut open. (Yes, we totally call them ballywoggins in my house! Well not when I’m talking to Claude….but I digress.) Grannie is going to be able to pick him up, but it ends up that she’s having to stay overnight again in Bremerton again to take Grandma Sandy back to Seattle for a follow up appointment tomorrow. This totally messes up my plans because I was going to go and clean house for her tomorrow and Grannie has the key. I could call Ellen I guess and just go and do it anyhow…I dunno.
It’s quite obvious that I made it through the night without Claude home. I actually slept pretty well considering that I hate sleeping alone. I noticed on one of the late night ventures the potty that Kalayah had crawled into bed with me. All was well until 7:00am when his alarm started going off, playing sweet home alabama….I listened for a few and then realized, “Damn, that shit’s annoying!” and rolled over and practically suffocated Kalayah reaching for the shittin’ radio to turn it off. She squirmed and pulled her head out of my arm pit. Good thing, I wouldn’t have wanted to be there either!
I’m excited for his return tonight….we’re having honey terriyaki cooked on the barbecue, and roasted red potatoes and carrots. (the potatoes and carrots I cooked 2 nights ago but took WAY to long to cook so I made instant mashed potatoes and green beans instead) They smell so good, I can’t wait to eat some!
That was my exciting day…I hope you all had a nice time reading about it!
I’m Falling Apart
September 25, 2007 at 11:38 am | In life | No CommentsTags: discomfort, pain
I have a molar on the upper left side that never came in…it’s been poked through for a year or so but is most likely impacted and being a bitch. I still have this unruly cold, complete with watery eyes, coughing and sinus crap. I’m leaning more towards the sinuses than the tooth, but I’m sure it could be a combination of both, with my luck anyhow…
Tonight I get to sleep alone, which I hate, with a passion. Claude has to go to Kelso for a dinner tonight, then stay overnight and have classes all day tomorrow. I’m not thrilled about it but I’ll survive….
As long as the kids go to bed and I don’t have to lock myself in the closet!
Friday Was So Much Fun!
September 24, 2007 at 9:46 am | In life | No CommentsTags: dinner, fun, karaoke
We drove out to what seemed like Timbuktu, but it was really just the outskirts of Monte… Claude figured out how to get into the gate, and we drove around like idiots trying to find Tammys house!
We finally found her place, Claude made me get out first and make friends with the dog so he could get out and go the opposite way! lol
After saying hi to Naph and meeting Tammy, we felt right at home. Her house is beautiful, her cooking was delicious and the conversation was ever changing. We pretty much covered it all… politics, religion, sex, family, careers, it was a lot of fun. For dinner she fixed steak, red potatoes and onions, veggies on the grill (which consisted of carrots, zucchini, onion, and mushroom), sourdough rolls, corn on the cob, and beer. Lots and lots of beer!
After dinner we toured the house, and decided to sing some karaoke on xbox! It was so so so much fun! I have video of Tammy singing Time After Time, but she might kill me if I post that, so I won’t. Instead, I’ll put up some pics! hehehe
Here’s Naph with his fake teeth in:
Tammy Loves Lamp! LMAO!
Clearly we are retarded! HAHA
Awwwww, aren’t they so cute!!!
Naph playing guitar (clearly, duh!)
Ok, now these two absolutely kill me! First of all, we decided that we’d take a silly pic looking like Claude was drunk off his ass, so we did that:
Then, Claude had the brilliant idea that he’d try and set the bottle on his forehead….lets just say that I missed the picture.
It fell, it made a mess, we cracked up, then we decided that it was quite picture worthy! HAHA
Gotta lounge!
The shameless self portrait…
It was a great night, I’m glad we finally met Tammy and I’m glad she can cook, cuz I can sure eat! HAHA
Mmmm Steak!

So about a month or so ago, Claude was texting his friend Jerrad…
He typed in the wrong number and ended up texting a girl from Monte. It ended up that she was single and has 3 kids. Claude being the hooker that he is, told her about his friend Naph and that they should meet up and all that good stuff. I dubbed her “Farm Girl” not to be mean, but because she lives on a farm and I didn’t know her yet! HAHA
Anyhow, Tammy and Naph met up and have been hangin out ever since. Today Claude called and said that he asked her if they wanted to go to dinner and go out. I hung up with him and immediatedly texted her and asked her what they wanted to do. She invited us to dinner at her place! How awesome is that?! Shea and Kalayah are going to a bbq at the college with my parents and then spending the night with them….Austin is going to go to Grannies house for the night and we’re going to dinner at the farm! YAY! I’m excited to meet her and to hang out. It should be really fun. I’m going to take my camera too just in case there are any kodak moments that I can’t pass up!
Can’t wait to meet ya Tammy!!!
See ya around 7!
A Mudslide Brought Me Down

Saturday night was party night at Steve and Darlenes house, here’s a rundown of the night picture style!
There are some after this that I just can’t show. I think after drinking a whole bottle of Mudslide by yourself, 4 shots of Tarantula, a bottle of MGD, and 3 Tattoo/Cokes, I was entitled to some fun! Let your imagination wander if you will…but it wasn’t THAT bad!
It was nice to have a chance to hang out with our friends and have a good time. I hope I’m invited next time! HAHAHA!

Is Everything Alright?
September 13, 2007 at 11:08 am | In life | 2 CommentsTags: communication, disapproval, marriage, problems
I’ve been married for close to 10 years now. I can honestly say that it’s been the most exciting, rewarding years of my life. Sometimes I wonder how I got myself into some of the situations I managed to, but in the end look back and think, “It could have been worse.”
People often ask, what it is that makes a marriage work. When I was younger, I didn’t really know the answer to that question, but I knew that I wouldn’t trade my marriage for anything in the world. While that sentiment hasn’t changed, I’d have to say the answer to that question is communication.
I would say the first 7 years of our marriage I wasn’t the best communicator on the planet…I ranked right up there with talking to a brick wall. There was no discussion, only one sidedness, which was Claudes biggest complaint about me. These last couple years I finally pulled my head out of my ass and decided that if I don’t start talking when I need to that shit’s gonna hit the fan and our marriage would be in jeopardy.
It’s helped. Immensely.
I’m not saying by any means that I’m perfect, since I’m far from it, but improvement is alwasy appreaciated.
Lately a couple people I’m pretty close to have been having some major issues. I’m at a loss for words when talking to them because nothing I say or even do can make things better within their marriage. They’ve had some rough spots that aren’t capable of mending it appears.
It’s no cake walk, I’m fully aware of that. How do you know when enough is enough? What is the turning point? Aside from physical abuse which constitutes as ENOUGH, how do you know when it’s just not going to work out anymore.
There have been a couple circumstances in my own marriage that have been a little on the rocky side, but never as far as seperation, moving out, moving on and forgetting what used to be.
I just don’t want to end up in the middle, you know. I don’t want to be the go to person for the he said she said bullshit. Just get it figured out and I’m here to be a friend to both of you.
I’m not showing approval or disapproval, just take care of your business.
Your marriage doesn’t define me.
Hackity Hack, Don’t Hack Back
September 11, 2007 at 12:09 pm | In life | No CommentsTags: colds
I’m done. So done with this cold I can’t even wait. It started out at a cough, then more of a goose call, now it’s my sinuses, the goose calls, and the phlegm. I know you don’t want to hear about that part, so pretend I never mentioned it.
Is it ever going to go away?
Today was Austins dental checkup. Aside from having a coniption fit the entire time the dentist was touching him, everything ended well. No cavities, just pretty white teeth, a new ugly toothbrush and a sticker. Woohoo. He has to go back in a few weeks to have a sealent put on. Yay. I’m sure he’ll love that.
I’m irritated with Cheeseburger…he is after all a cat. A cat who simply cannot just lay on the floor or even on the couch. A cat who has to lay up high, perched, or he simply will not sit still. Sometimes he’ll lay on top of the filing cabinet, except I moved one of my plants there. So, he’ll lay in the window. That’s all fine and dandy with me. However, he’s started this habit of laying on my side table where I like to set my water, coffee, whatever the hell I feel like, on, but his big fat cat butt jumps up there and then there’s no room. He’s now resorted to the top of the entertainment center when we’re not around. He leaves evidence, but still thinks he’s getting away with something!
It’s a crappy pic, cuz it’s from Claudes cell phone. He sent this while I was at the dentists office this morning.
You can clearly see that the candles are about to fall off the back…the picture is moved….the phone probably fell off the back. Claude also said that the desk was a mess too.
That damn cat.
Sneakin’ Reeses Pieces…
September 10, 2007 at 4:50 pm | In life | 2 CommentsIt’s hot today. Hot. Hotter than hell. Hotter than I like. I’m a big baby, clearly. I have no idea what to have for dinner tonight and I don’t feel like cooking….it’s hot.
Yesterday was Kalayah and Austins birthday party, Happy Birthday kiddos!
We had a good time. Invited lots of people and everyone but 2 showed up and that was because of car troubles…No worries though, I understand.
I had made the cake and bought the ice cream and a couple hours before the party Claude suggested we make pizza. The last few parties we’ve made pizza…so he headed to the store and bought 5 cheese pizzas and turkey pepperoni. Mmm tasty!
We ate pizza, the kids opened presents and then we had cake and ice cream. The kids scored on toys and clothes as always and a good time was had by all!
Today after a quick appointment in town, I dropped Austin off at Grannies house, then Kalayah and I drove to Elma to clean Grandma Sandys house. We took her to the bank and had to hurry back so Grannie could get to her appointment by 1:15. We hung out at her house till it was time to pick Shea up from school, what a “go go go” kinda day.
If Boys Would Only Pay Attention
September 6, 2007 at 9:56 am | In life | 8 CommentsTags: guys, men, haircuts, mohawks, conversations with men
I’m sure you know the conversation well…
Hunny?
“Yeah?” (Still watching tv, playing video games, or eating)
I’m thinking about getting my hair cut, I think I want to get it short this time.
“Oh ok.”
It might be kind of expensive I’m not sure…I was thinking about dying it pink too.
“That’s cool.”
Three hours later you come home with a pink mohawk and your husband is freaking the fuck out wondering what in the hell posessed you to do such a thing!
Well…I TOLD you I was thinking about doing it!!!
“When?”
About three hours ago!
“No you didn’t!”
Yeah..I really did.
“How much did that cost?”
Ummmmmm…
“I can’t beleive you fucking shaved half your hair off and dyed it pink! Someone should have talked some sense into you!”
Oh…you mean like YOU? The person I was talking to before going under the scissor blades?
If you’ve EVER had a conversation with a guy…chances are that a lot of conversations have gone this way! Which brings me to my point…..
Can you guess where this is going?
=]
Saturday I went to Wal-Mart and bought some birthday invitations to send out for Kalayah and Austins birthdays. Kalayahs birthday is Sunday the 9th and Austins is Friday the 15th. I figured we’d kill 2 birds with 1 stone and have them together on the 9th. At least that way, we’re not past anyones birthday…
So Saturday I was sitting her at the desk, Claude was on the couch. I said,
“What time do you think we should have the party Sunday?”
Well, I dunno, two? No, maybe one.
“One is what I was thinking too. So one then?”
Yeah.
“Are you sure cuz I’m writing it down right now and I don’t want ‘em all messed up!”
Yeah, that’s cool.
“K.”
So, I finished all the invites, stamped the ones that needed to be stamped and left em in the mailbox till Tuesday.
Last night he mentioned something, while texting Jerrad (dude he works with), about the Seahawks game Sunday. I certainly wasn’t gonna say, “Oh gee what time is it cuz remember we have that PARTY at our house THAT day?”
I just sat there. He said something along the lines of…”That party is Sunday isn’t it!” Yes. It is. Was my big response. I was waiting for the attitude to kick in!
It didn’t.
This morning I texted him, word for word this is how it went:
Me: No hugs kisses for me today?
“Yeah I kissed your shoulder! Hey did we send invites out for the party?”
Of course WE did. I’m not changing it either. Sorry. I asked you and you said one.
“Fuck why not Saturday?”
Sat is loggers play day. And it’s not her birthday.
“Loggers what? Who gives a Fuck about that lol
People are going to it geek.
“Like who?”
Your mom is. Jani probably is. We’re not changing it for a damn football game
“Lol it’s ok”
GO SEAHAWKS!
(If you win, I’ll give you cake and ice cream!)
