Holding on to silly things, I never learn

My head is throbbing and my body soul is irritated…I made the mistake of taking the kids to the mall with me. I wanted to go to Claires, what I didn’t want was a gang of hoodlums pulling shit off of shelves and throwing tantrums on the floor because I took the preshus earrings from him. What I was looking for was no where to be found…I did spot a cute pair of skull earrings that I got for Shea (and myself!) that are really cute! $4.83 later we were out of there.
Then I figured since I was there I’d go to Famous Footwear and see if I could find myself some new kicks…please people…for the love of all mankind, do not take all your children shopping, if for no one else’s sanity, for your own! I warned the lady when I walked in the door that they were hell on Earth during the Claires excursion, she just laughed it off and said, “Oh they’ll be fine!” That is until Austin was trying to devour shoe polish and she spotted him and went after him. He screamed bloody murder, pitched a bitch and a nice little tantrum on the floor (again), she tidied up the shoe boxes and shot me a look. I smiled like, “Yeah, that’s right…fun shit right there!” Then decided FUCK THIS SHIT, I’VE HAD ENOUGH, grabbed Austin by the wrist, told Kalayah to grab her coat and sternly told Shea to get her damn stupid shoes on cuz “I’m so done with this shit.” I waited outside of the store for her to screw around for a good 5 minutes getting her shoes on and searching for her sweatshirt which she laid on the other side of the store, naturally.
They were all happy thinking that they were going to get to play on the toys by the cinema, NEWS FLASH…I don’t reward my kids for shit behavior, so the big meanie than I am, I marched right out to the car with 3 crying, sniveling, annoying kids and drove straight home.
My head still hurts from that outing…and my eyebrows haven’t quite unfurrowed yet either.
On a happier and totally unrelated note, last week while Claude and I were watching True Life: I’m looking for my biological father, and after the show just being a smart ass, I pulled out our newest phone book like I do every year only to discover that there WAS a new number for my biological dad, I made a weird noise, enough to get Claude to turn around and look at me, I just sat there with my jaw on my chest with a ridiculous look on my face and finally said that there was a new local number listed. There’s a possibility that he lives less than 10 minutes away from me, and I’m pretty sure according to the address that he lives in the same apartment building that Claude and I did after we first got married. I haven’t dialed the number and to my knowledge, neither has Claude. I’m so curious, but like I’ve said before I’m even more nervous as to what I would say or what he would say. I know it needs to be done, sooner than later, but my nerves get the best of me!
I’m gonna go get something to eat for dinner, the kids are driving me insane and my head might possibly explode any second. *SPLAT!*
Flu Schmoo
January 24, 2008 at 7:47 pm | In life | 8 CommentsTags: sick, flu, over it, woohoo!
So, I think I’m better now… I hope I’m better now… My dad keeps wanting to know when I’m coming out to the house to clean, he said “I’m starting to stick to the kitchen floor, I might have to do something about that myself here pretty soon!” I have to schedule a time that works with my grandma since she’ll watch Austin for me when I go, but that’s just a phone call away.
I’ve had SO much laundry to do over the last 5 days it’s ridiculous, blankets and sheets and clothes…it never stops. A family of 5 is one thing, but a family of 5 with 4 sick? Joy.
Enough bitching….someone tell me whether I want a Canon or Nikon…I’m leaning towards a SLR but I might not go that extravagant….I haven’t decided yet. I’ve been back and forth between the two and I believe that Nikon has better reviews, but they are pretty much the same thing when it comes down to it wouldn’t you say?! I don’t have a preference either way, I just want quality.
Anyhow….the Flu can suck it…

I’ll let you know up front that I don’t know where this blog is going…
Shea and Kalayah went over to a friends house yesterday, while they were gone, Austin started whining a lot and then fell asleep. I was in the kitchen making banana bread and I heard him gagging. I can running (ok, limping!) into the living room and he’d thrown up all over the recliner.
He seemed to be ok after that. I cleaned him up and he helped me peel the bananas and put them in the batter.
When Melissa brought the girls home, she say and visited with me and Austin threw up a couple more times. Such fun. “Welcome to our home!”
He seemed to be ok last night before bed and he was alright but kind of whiny this morning. Well…he ended up sick again. He’s been able to keep some crackers down at least..so that’s a plus.
Enough sick talk.
I’m excited for this next weekend, we’re supposed to get our taxes back Friday and I’m hoping that we’ll take a little trip out of town and get a little shopping done. I can’t wait to look for a new camera!!! Not only did I want a new one, I accidentally knocked my camera off the kitchen counter the other night and it bent the lens so when I tried to fix it, it broke….pisses me off. I was hoping to be able to keep my point and shoot around for quite awhile this time.
I’m a little random today, but I felt like posting SOMEthing.
“He’s Having An Orgasm….I Know For A Fact He Is!”
January 17, 2008 at 5:28 pm | In life | 12 CommentsTags: cat, Cheeseburger, funny, grandparents, Grannie, kitty, neuter, Orgasm, vet
Grandparents, you’ve gotta love ‘em. My grandma just called me to tell me that she called the vet about Cheeseburger…
“Well…he’ll come up and lay on my chest in the middle of the night and kneed and kneed and if I try and push him away he’ll yowl and bite me…sometimes he bites my arm!”
I think he’s just trying to get close and snuggle or something.
“No Tirzah, he’s not. He’s having an orgasm, I know for a fact he is!”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What? Why would you think THAT?
“Sometimes he’ll come up and lay on my lap when I’m sitting in the chair and he’ll nestle his head between my arm and body and he’ll kneed and then all of a sudden his hind end is going…if I push him away, he’ll meow at me and try to bite me, then he’ll sit up and lick himself clean.”
At this point I am totally 100% in hysterics! I was laughing so hard and she was talking and I had to make her repeat herself, she said that with all the (many!) cats that she’s ever had, she’s never had one do that. Never! She suggested to me that maybe the vet didn’t do a good job and that it would have to be repeated. After I hung up I Googled “post neutered cat” and found a similar story about a cat who was still humping blankets after getting the snip….so I called her back and told her what the person (I don’t think it was a professional) suggested the same thing she did, a possibly repeat procedure. Hopefully the correct way this time.
I just thought I’d share a little about Cheeseburger and his orgasms…now go eat dinner or something! HAHAHA!
It Makes Me Sick
January 15, 2008 at 11:54 am | In life | 17 CommentsTags: children, death, dreams, ex boyfriends, Kalayah, kids, murdered, nightmares, park, stabbed
Last night I had a horrible dream.
Horrible.
I dreamt that Claude had taken the kids to the park and my ex-boyfriend (from early junior high) stabbed Kalayah to death. How much worse can a dream get?!
After I’d found out I, was at the mall for some reason, reuniting with a couple classmates from high school when I broke down while showing pictures of my three kids, and then telling them how she was murdered. It was terrible. A terrible dream, the kind that you wake up from and gasp….thinking, “Oh good, that was just a dream….but still, I need to check on the kids.” So Claude got up and I asked him to check on the girls…he went in and checked, came back and reported that they were fine. Relieved, I was tired, so I didn’t get into detail with him, plus I didn’t want to start crying so I just let it be. He took a shower and we all went on about our day.
I was telling Heather a few minutes ago about this horrid dream and then decided that it’d be a good idea to tell Claude. I sent him a text and he responded with “Wow I had a dream about her too, a couple days ago and she died for some reason.”
Now THAT shit freaks me out big time. Like Heather said, “Tiz, it’s ok! It could very easily just be something you guy saw on TV or some other totally innocuous thing.” Maybe so, but it’s still weirder than hell….and I HATE it.
Now I’m going to be extra cautious and aware of anything weird, especially with Kalayah. I don’t need that kind of stress…no one does. After a good cry I feel slightly better.
I just can’t imagine life without that little girl, not at all…
I’ll Answer, But I’m Not Tagging! LOL

Who IS That?
January 10, 2008 at 5:05 pm | In life | 5 CommentsTags: headbangin, no alterations, pictures, rock star, texting, who is that
Earlier, I sent this message to Claude:
I’m an aspiring rock star baby. Are you proud of me?
He responds with, “What happened?”
I say, Nothing, I’m just a rock star yo.
He says, “I don’t understand”
So I sent him this:
“Who the fuck is that?”
What do you mean who? It’s me!
“No, it’s not. You look too….skinny.” LMAO!
WHAT? HAHAHAHAHA!
“You altered the picture or something cuz you look thinner.”
Nope, I didn’t, it’s just the angle.
We bantered back and forth for awhile, unable to convince him. Then he had to go.
HAHAHA!
Back to texting…
“Fucking liar, obviously.”
Me? Honest. The camera was on top of the entertainment center.
“In that picture you are thinner than me”
No it’s the angle I guess. I think I look like a house still. LMAO
“Look at your legs, way to thin.”
Angle. I did nothing to the pic but add a blur overlay.
Then I sent him a picture from yesterday where I was sitting on the table.
I’m feeling generous I’ll share…you can laugh later!
He responded by saying:
Different.
To which I let out a hearty HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!
Oh wow it was SO funny I’m still laughing about the whole conversation! Maybe once he gets home and looks at the pics on the computer he’ll believe me that I didn’t alter it. I tried explaining that it’s a pic of a pic so it’s a little distorted looking but I don’t know if he gets it or not. Good times!
Weak.

Today has been a challenging day for me. For starters I slept in…not as late as I did yesterday but still I slept in. I took a shower, and started putting laundry away. Claude called, he was home but couldn’t get in the front door because the dead bolt was locked. I wasn’t going to hobble downstairs then back up and finish doing what I was doing so I sent Kalayah down. She of course couldn’t figure it out and I don’t know how she finally let him into the house, but he made it in.
He came up to get something from me and gave me some of the mail. It was my necklace…
Isn’t it pretty?! I ordered it from Resinated on Etsy. Claude thought it was silly, but duh, it’s girly. haha
I just haven’t had the best of days. I got a few decent pictures out of my funk, but other than that I’ve just been kinda down in the dumps. There’s an explanation but I don’t feel like getting into detail about that. I’l just say that it’s my own fault for being selfish.
My mood is black, blacker than black…
TantrumsRus

“LEAVE ME ALONE!”
“SHUT UP!”
Singing, “I say leave me alone, I say leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone…”
Not to mention all the NO’s we’ve had to put up with.
Oh my frickin gosh just shut the hell up already! I’m SICK of the yelling, I’m SICK of the screaming, I’m soooooo SICK of it all.
And that’s just from Shea today.
This weekend they had their cousin over for the night, they went to a birthday party, they came home and played with their other cousin, THEN they went and stayed at the first cousins house for the night. They came home fisted and ready to fight. That’s the major issue I have with allowing them to go somewhere overnight. I was rallying for a night away from them though, let me tell you. Being able to watch a movie with out 15 “my leg hurts” and 17.6 “I have a headache” ’s, we just needed some quiet time.
This blog is definitely a bitch blog since I appear to be at the end of my short rope these days. I just pulled the “I’m telling your dad” card….well kind of. I dialed his number while I was asking Shea to get her homework done and I just kept talking to her so he could hear the attitude she’s giving me. He heard it alright and after the fact I warned her that her dad just heard her screaming at me to which she replied that she’s NEVER GOING TO TALK TO ME EVER AGAIN. Whatever.
Hi Drama, how are you today? Good, you say? Well you can piss off.
On a happier note…
My leg in still in tact and I haven’t fallen on my face (yet). Claude doesn’t realize how much I appreciate his help so here’s a shout out to my baby, I love you sweetie, thank you SO much for your awesomeness!
Also, there is talk on a new tv, entertainment center in the near future…we shall see about the tv part, I’m not so sure I can be convinced since ours is only a couple years old and has nothing wrong with it. I need to make a dentist appointment here in the next couple weeks, I’m not looking forward to dropping the money for that but I have to get it done sooner than later, as it is I’ve waited long enough. I know that Claude wants to get some new games so we’ll be getting “The Orange Box” and probably another one, who knows. I’m dreaming of a new camera, but I don’t think I can convince Claude that I need to spend $700 on one. I bet I can compromise. Maybe. I really need to clean the downstairs carpet…like bad. I won’t attempt that until 1) my leg is better and 2) we get rid of this crappy entertainment center!
I’m out. I’m the least entertaining person on the block today…
I Heart Me Some Stats!
January 6, 2008 at 4:59 pm | In life | 6 CommentsTags: am I too fat for the rides at disney, becca yum, funny, I hate myself I'm stupid, stats
I don’t always pay attention to what my stats say but when I do I’m never surprised. The latest few gave me quite the giggle…
In case you aren’t familiar with what stats I’m referring to, when someone goes to Google and searches something and comes to my site due to the search it shows up in my stats, so these are the latest three:
- I hate myself I’m stupid
- becca yum
- am I too fat for the rides at disney
Funny stuff right?
The first one is from my I Hate Myself…If I Could Reach My Own Ass I’d Kick It post about configuring CSS coding.
The second one has to be because of the lovely Becca, yum! hahaha
The last is probably a combination of when my husband went to Orlando for a work expo, and when I fell on my FAT ass playing football!
I found them funny and if you don’t then get out of here, you don’t belong! =]
PS, whoever the person is that searched that “am I too fat for the rides at disney,” my guess is that you already know the answer….I know I’m too fat and I wouldn’t even consider going due to the fact of being utterly humiliated in public. No Thank You! :) Speaking of which, I’m hungry. Damn!
