I Want My Mommy.
May 30, 2008 at 6:02 pm | In life | 6 CommentsTags: doctor, headache, kids, life, nerves, relax
I went and picked Claude up from work today and on the drive home I thought about how nice it would be to just go somewhere and stay the night. Just get away, out of the house, away from it all. The only place I’d feel comfortable enough to completely chill out and relax would be my parents house. I could sit outside with a cup of coffee, read a book, take pictures, just live. For a day.
My head hurts.
I can’t go though. We have company coming tomorrow. I thought they were going to be staying overnight but plans have changed. I really don’t know what the hell is going on. We were all supposed to meet up and have a bbq, at who’s how I don’t know. We never decided on that either! lol
The kids are so on my nerves today. Kalayah is crying about anything and everything, Austins nose wont stop running and when it runs he cries and pitches a bitch about it. Shea had a doctors appointment today because she keeps complaining about headaches.
The doctor said that according to her symptoms and the lack of severity, that she’s ok for now, but if she starts throwing up and basically shows signs of a migraine then we’ll do further testing. I’m going to make her an appointment with the eye doctor again just to be on the safe side. Last time she had perfect vision, so that’s good.
I’m going to go now before my head ’splodes.
Crazy Eights Meme

Tesa tagged me…so I feel obligated. Thanks…..beyotch! 
EIGHT THINGS FOR WHICH I HAVE PASSION:
1. Music. There’s nothing better than music that goes straight to your soul, either for happiness or sadness. Music makes you feel like there’s so much life left to live and that you’re worth it. Without music, I think I would go insane.
2. Photography. When I was younger I used to take pictures of my animals, inanimate objects, and myself. A few years ago I got my first digital camera and haven’t stopped since. After realizing that I have an eye for photography and great respect for photographers I decided to take a huge step and buy a DSLR…I’m absolutely in love with my camera and I can’t imagine a life without pictures!
3. Animals. Since I was little I’ve always had a passion for animals, the typical cats, dogs and occasional bout of goldfish. Since I grew up in the country we were able to broaden my horizons by having cows, sheep, horses, geese, a pot bellied pig, and llamas. Pets certainly have a way of making you feel better and are always nice to have around when you’re lonely.
4. Grannie and Grandpa. While my Grandpa passed away in 2002, the 23 years that I had him in my life were fantastic. He took me bowling, where he’d buy me virgin Shirley Temples and give me quarters to play pin ball. He’d taking me wood cutting with him, he made the best peanut butter sandwiches and gave the best scruffy goodnight kisses ever. Grannie is always there to lend a helping hand, whether it means lending a few bucks, watching the kids, giving advice or being a temporary landlady. She’s generous, kind hearted and I love her to death. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Grandpa…I see him in so many places and people and hear him in different sounds around me. He knows what he meant to me.
(BREATHE Tirzah…………..Breathe…)
5. Family. Of course I love my entire family, including extended family, but my immediate family is what keeps me alive. They drive me insane but they keep me alive. My kids know which buttons to push to really piss me off but they also make me proud on a daily basis. They are growing up so fast and before I know it they will be graduating, experiencing debt, loss, disappointment and love. My husband who has been there for me through the years, has seen the good, seen the bad, probably a lot of bad, dealt with a lot of shit, a lot on insecurities, but he’s still here, trying, helping how he knows how. I can’t imagine my life without my family. After all….they’ve helped make me into the insane freak that I am today.
6. Friends. Wow…where to start with this one… The online friends, the real life friends, the acquaintances, the people you see every day but don’t even talk to. You all make life a little sweeter, funner, funnier, crazy and a little dramatic and I love you all deeply. I really do.
7. Chocolate. What more is there to say….it’s chocolate, and I heart it. Big puffy heart love it.
8. Creative Outlets. Other than music and photography, I love to sing, singing could have possibly been #1 on my list to show how much I love it. I’m no professional, I don’t have any formal training, I’m sure I never will…it’s just something that I absolutely love to do. Blogging, writing, getting it all out in the open…it’s healing. Sometimes the good stuff just has to come out. It’s not only healing but it’s necessary!
EIGHT THINGS I’D LIKE TO DO BEFORE I DIE:
1. Meet my real dad.
2. Lose weight. Yeah, FAT chance of that, but I had to stick it on the list anyhow.
3. Travel. I want to go to Scotland, Ireland, and any other land out there. I just want to go…and be…and experience life.
4. Meet my half brothers. I have 2 who I’ve never talked to or know much about, but I want to…if they’ll have me in their life.
5. Stop giving a shit what other people think about me. I know who I am, I know I’m a good person and that I have awesome qualities. I need to not be so passive, say what’s on my mind and let THEM deal with it. I’m tired of dealing with it. (This one half assed [get it?! har har har] goes with #2)
6. Use some of my creative energy to improve lives.
7. Be/feel self sufficient. I don’t want to feel like I rely on other people to make me happy. I need to feel happy first…then just BE happy! =)
8. I want to meet you. I want to meet Adam, Becca and Jon and baby Izzy Bella, Claudia and her wonderful family, Jess, Kristina, baby to be and her friend Caleal, Erica, Tesa, tesco and ALa, I want to live closer to Liza, Heather and Beth. I want to spend more time with Tiffany, Patrick and Mekhi, and even if he is inherently retarded, Alex…I have to meet Alex.
EIGHT THINGS I SAY A LOT:
1. “Dude.”
2. “Shit!’
3. “Fuck!” (I know…I’m totally going to hell huh!)
4. “GOODNIGHT KALAYAH!………..I LOVE YOU TOO KALAYAH!……GOODNIGHT KALAYAH!…..” (rinse and repeat)
5. “Knock it off….NOW!”
6. “Oh for the love of all!”
7. “I gotta pee.”
8. “What should I do for my 365?”

Phone Books Piss Me Off.
May 19, 2008 at 10:35 am | In life | 8 CommentsTags: annoyed, districts, Kindergarten, phone book, preschool, rules, school
Have you ever tried to find a schools phone number in a phone book? Literally impossible. You can’t just look under the NAME of the school, you have to look under “Schools Public” or some stupid shit like that. Then if you can’t find it there, you start hunting around in the front of the damned thing, flipping through the Government, City, State, County, Federal pages and find everything BUT the ever lovin’ school you want to call. I spend all of 10 seconds this morning looking in the phone book until I said out loud “What the fuck and I’m even bothering for? I’m just gonna look it up online, I’m sure I’ll find it in about 2 seconds!” and sure enough, I did.
I’m finally getting my ass in gear and getting Kalayah registered for preschool. Have I publicly ranted about our school district yet?
Annoyance…let me tell you about it.
Kalayah is 4 now, her birthday is Sept. 9th, which means that she misses the cutoff in order to get into Kindergarten by NINE FUCKING DAYS. 9. How ridiculous right?! So I called the school and the Superintendent and asked them what I needed to do in order to get her into school next year and they basically told me that I couldn’t unless we took her to another district. If we did that then they would have to let her into 1st grade the following year because she’d already have the Kindergarten hours “under her belt.” So after much deliberation about going with another district for a year, we decided that she’d be just fine going to preschool again and being one of the oldest in her Kindergarten class.
You know what else? Austin is going to have the SAME issue since his birthday is Sept. 15th. It’s just frustrating. I don’t want her to get bored learning the same things over and over again. Her preschool teacher told me that she’s more than ready for Kindergarten, which makes me happy to hear. Then again it’s not going to hurt her to make more friends, learn to write a little better and learn some more routine either.
Alright, I’m headed off to school to fill out an abundance of paper work. Yay!
“Welcome to The Box!”
May 9, 2008 at 10:01 am | In life | 7 CommentsTags: breakfast, Jack In The Box, kosher, Manager Mike, no pork please kthnxbye, The Box
“Oh nice, he’s a smart ass!” I thought, as I ordered breakfast. I’m talking about Jack In The Box in case you haven’t yet figured that out.
I ordered a biscuit meal without meat, with coffee, and 2 Breakfast Jacks no ham for Kalayah and Austin. The girl in drive thru was pretty nice, she’s been kinda iffy before when I’ve gone through. Meanwhile, the manager dude was all sorts of happy go lucky and maybe a little pompous. He wasn’t rude, but I could tell that he thought he was pretty freakin’ cool, which who knows, he might be. I mean, he did call the place, “The Box.”
So long story short, we came home and I gave the kids their food, they know to check and make sure there’s no ham before they take a bite, and there wasn’t so they started scarfing away. I opened mine to find that they gave me sausage, but no egg. “Awww shit. That sucks.” So I called dude, happy go lucky, pompous, manager guy. This is how he answered the phone and I shit you not:
“This is Mike, what’s your beef?”
I was so taken aback that I think I even laughed before I complained. After I told him what was up, he’s all…”Yeah, well that sucks.”
Yeah, “It does suck, cuz I can’t eat it.”
He says, “I know.”
“Umm…”
He says, “Well if you’d like to come back I can replace it for you.”
“I can’t come back now.”
And you know the rest, they get your name and then you forget you had a freebie comin’. hahaha
So, for you Manager Mike, I wanted to let you know that you started my morning off just right. Thanks for the laugh before you fucked up my order and thanks for kinda being a little bit of a dick. Not enough that I dislike you, just enough to make me want to go back and see if you’re still so shittin’ happy.
“Welcome to The Box, My name is Mike, I’m the awesomely rad manager…by the way, I think I’m HILARIOUS!”
Ok, So I Was Mindin’ My Own Business…
May 3, 2008 at 7:50 pm | In life | 2 CommentsTags: beach, dork, fell, ocean, oops, Washington, water, Westport, wet
taking pictures of the water. I was keeping an eye on the tide since it was coming pretty close to my feet. I was about to take a picture when I saw the water coming in fast so I turned to run away. I totally burned out, landed on my left side, and got soaked. Shea was laughing her ass off, Kalayah was screaming, Austin was staring and Claude was 100% oblivious. You should have seen his face when he turned and saw me just chillin’ on the sand in the surf. It was pretty hot.
All I did was lay there and laugh; holding my camera up in the air saying “I saved the camera, I SAVED IT!” Claude motioned that I’d better get my ass up before I got soaked again, so I slothfully hoisted my ass outta there. It was so funny! There was even a couple of people back behind us that were taking pictures of the beach….I wonder if she snapped any of my great fall! LOL!
I had my remote in my left pocket, and it’s fine. I didn’t crush my beachy treasures either. My cell phone was in my right hand pocket and it didn’t get wet so that’s awesome.
Good times yo.
