waiting game

Im just waiting for donavan to get home. Then perhaps my not so grand time at home will get a little cheerier maybe?

Thankfully samara is playing great by herself in her room and isnt available for the brunt of my... disappointment? Cheerlessness? utter feelings of uh and ugh?

Whatever and all of that.

Im going to go and finish what I have been doing and then make another supper that samara will enjoy at least. How is that for exciting really?

Once donavan gets home and is fed I am going to play excited and help Samara turn her scary jackolantern vision into a reality.

The things we do on a Wednesday.

So Because I am So BORING.

I ahvent blogged in ages. So sorry.

Quicky run down.

Tomorrow my munchkin is coming back from Brendas again where hes been since sunday. Its so lonesome without him to chase especially lately. Enough of the poor poor pitiful me.

Maggies place you make the difference today. chatted and bitched with Lisa for a little bit, chatted with my new buddy a bit, you get it. I chatted.

Susan's place for coffee afterward. watched some boob tube, Played some WII sports, played with her workout equiptment. I SO cant do a sit up. I suck LOL.

The rest of today was spent finishing the diningroom.

As of yesterday Our bed in the back bedroom with donavan's crib. Samaras single bed (she has a new one in her room) it set up in the diningroom. This way I can hopefully get donavan to sleep in his own bed adn kev can sleep on a bed and not teh couch. See how that does to kill some tension. Hopefully LOADS.

Before that was monday, chat n chew and i got the back room ready for our bed.

Before that weekend where we did little to nothing.

WELL.
Saturday we went to teh opening of a new factory in town. They had BIG blowup rides. One was a giant moon bouce. Samara went on once herself adn I took donavan on too teh second time. FUN.

The other thing was a GIANTTTTTT slide. First you climb a wall using the handles then slide straight down a huge scary slide then again. AWESOME and scary.

SO

dont complain that I dont ever blog ;)

A Minor B*t*hFest

Have I mentioned how much I want my house cleaned yet? No?

I WANT A CLEAN HOUSE.

I want to be able to walk around in the dark and know I wont step on god knows what. I would like to go to the cupboard and get a cup when thirsty rather than having to hunt a cup down whereever one MIGHT be. It would be nice to be able to go sit on the couch and relax without worrying about what I should be doing.

I HATE THE COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT MY MESSY HOUSE.

YES IT IS MESSY.

I am tired of the insinuations that it is my fault it is messy. It takes a family to mess this place up. I dont get why its not universally known. Honestly? Am I missing some important piece of the puzzle that says that I am teh only one who should do dishes or pick up as I go along?!?!???

SERIOUSLY??!?!!?!

??!?!?!

?
???
??
?


I am alone in the responsibility and blame for the messy house around here. I walk around strewing toys everywhere adn leaving cups around to never be found again. I remove my clothes in teh livingroom and leave them so when I do laundry I have to wander the hosue in search of clothes so I wont complain later when theyre not washed?

I am not saying that I dont do anything messy becuase I am a slob and I admit it. But i would think that if I admit a failing and BEG for help correcting it. (BEG OVER AND OVER) Then I would get SOMETHING.

Seriously. "start in one room and stick with it" doesnt work for me. WHERE DO I START?!?!?!? In my own OCD way I will ALWAYS ALWAYS either rearrange the dvd shelf tehn get bored or I will grab dirty clothes and dishes adn start laundry and a sink of dishes. Then the counters then get bored.

Where is my list of chores i have been BEGGING FOR??!?!?!?????


...

Maybe theres a list online?

Off to see.

Maggie's Place Halloween Party

I didnt bring my camera so I stole these from Tara and Lacy.

Yoda On The Run

Samara From Behind (She wouldnt look at Lacy)

Samara Mermaid and Yoda Play Bean Bags

Mommy and Yoda




Yoda Working Hard At His Craft (With Scarecrow Sarah Mac)

Voila. The cuteness that was my children yesterday ;)

Its Been Awhile

I havent had much to say lately. LOL.

took the kidsto the maggies place halloween pary today. It wasnt bad. VERY crowded. Donavan was SO FREAKING CUTE as Yoda and Samara was a beautiful mermaid.

Did some dishes today. Yep. I am an overachiever.

House cleaning One tip at a time.

MUST GET MY HOUSE NEAT TODAY!

It is my only objective :):)

Used the first tip in the book I bought on organizing yesterday to clean the livingroom (pick up so many things in such an amount of time.) So I am going to use it again. I ahve been up 2.5 hours so i am picking up 150 things and putting them in their places.
Wish me luck!

Sunday

Had turkey at sherry's yesterday. It was really good. Samara and Donavan are going to my parents today for dinner (aparently). I was called a parenting nazi yesterday by my stepfather. He asked what time Samara went to bed on the weekends adn I told him 7. So now I am "like the germans" in his words. (Pretty sure that an early bedtime doesnt QUITE equate with cultural genocide but hes the ex military type so guess hes right. (Sarcasm drippings and all)). She isnt even 5 yet (tomorrow lol). She has no interest in staying up on the weekdays let alone weeknights. If i let her stay up she would be tired and crabby on the weekdays getting up before 8. How would it be any different on the weekends? Not like my nearly 5 year old would sleep in or anything... Shes not 14. Anywho.

Noone believes they will take donavan so we shall see.

I really want to clean up. Genuinely... I need a hyposis book on not being a slob anymore!

I got a bunch of corny new music last night MWAHAH so i might try to clean to it.

Saturday

So watched Hancock this afternoon. I really liked it but i dont think kevin will. I guess going into it i had NO idea what the movie was about so it really wasnt what I was expecting but i LOVE Will Smith (Kev hates him) so this was a great Will Smith movie :)



I think Im going to clean up the house a bit then who knows. :)

Kev said he would be home early so maybe hell be around by then.



We're going to sherry's for turkey dinner tomorrow. Kevs brother will be there with his kids. Kev and I ahve agree'd we need to prepare Samara for his neice Kassidy but how? its so complicated.



Well off to tidy.

Holy Good Grief

I am BORED.

ughhhhh boredy bored bored.

Was supposed to go shopping today with my sister. My mother wanted to tag along and I was frightened and anxiety ridden. they called when they were on teh way and told kev to get smaara ready (I was outside with donavan waiting) and he came down and told me and I was inwardly FREAKING out. Samara was NOT coming. Nothing was changing becuase my mother was now involved. (besides that we were supposed to go at 5 but my mother wanted 6, ugh.)

AMAZINGLY it didnt go too bad. Mind you I always feel left out when it comes to my mother and sister becuase they ahve a relationship where i have none personally with my mother besides she being my children's grnadmother and I dont talk to my sister often (thought she did clean my messy house twice). But it wasnt bad.

Now kevin is withhis brother (home soon?) and i am here bored.

In other great news my buddy kelly FINALLY emailed and then called me. FINALLY. lol. its been a MONTH. I had to cut short cause my phone died and when i tried to call this evening there was no answer so GOD knows when Ill be able to actually talk to her. I cant call her normally now in teh evenings anyway cause kevs generally home in teh evening and she works during the day. I invited her around next weekend so well see. So much to tell her.
She is the BEST and MOST AWESOME listener i have ever met. a real kindred spirit. HAHA. maybe well get married and have genius, over-analitical and a little bit crazy kids. Who knows? LOL.

Some Cats

This is Peepers. Named for the noise she made as a kitten instead of meowing. She is an oddball. Her body is at least 3 times as big as it should be considering her tiny head.

This is Elphaba. Named for The Wicked Witch of the West from the story Wicked. Why? you ask why name a kitten after the Wicked Witch? A) I didnt want a kitten much like Elphaba's parents didnt want a green child. and B) she looked ugly, miserable and evil... and now she looks... ugly miserable and pitiful. She is just a baby still and likes to curl up with someone. Including Mr. Donavan while he is playing.

And Valentine. Named for a conbination of Kevin Bacon's Character in Tremors and a character in a romance novel that I love. He is a very high strung sookiebaby.

Valentine is Donavan's special buddy.

WHY WHY

WHY AM I SO LAZY.

I hate myself.

I am a sucky slob and need rehab...

In better news my not slobby sister is coming to help me clean.

I suck.

but at least I will suck in a cleaner house.

The Top (howevermany) People Who SHould NOT Be Allowed To Roam The Streets Unattended.

Starting with the MOST ANNOYING!!!!!!!

1) Crowds of people who stand on the sidewalk and chat. And by crowd I mean 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12 people, or even 1 FRICKING PERSON IN THE MIDDLE NOT MOVING FOR PEDESTRIANS. On my HURRIED way to get Samara this afternoon (I live ohhh about 7 minutes from teh school by foot and left the house today at ohhhhh 4 minutes to 'go-home-bell-time' ) I make it to the front of the school in a record 4 minutes (past the creepy crossing guard even) and am FLYING until I hit the group of 4 adults, 2 strollers, and baby in arms all talking at once while 1 toddler was SCREAMING for attention in the middle of the sidewalk, flanked by bumpy grass. (Yes i DO enjoy run on sentences, Don't you?). Did I rudely tell them to MOVE THEIR ASSES SO I COULD PASS WITH MY NOT NEGLECTED KID? Nah. I was in a hurry and so gave them an awful look, Informed Donavan LOUDLY that If i caught him in teh middle of the sidewalk ever NOT WALKING I would Kick his ass to the grass for being so RUDE and bolted over teh lawn. (donavan has since requested "Holy Shit Handles" for teh stroller for the next time we do offroad in an umbrella stroller.) And Yes I made it in time to meet samara. and Yes I Do like RANDOM caps. Keeps things pretty. Anyway...

2) People who block the sidewalk and the walkway from my house so their DOGS can sniff the bushed by my yard when I am trying to pass. The the guy's ugly scruffy little DOG had the AUDACITY to BARK at me as I tried to go around them (again ONTO THE LAWN).

3) SLOWWALKING PEOPLE WHO DONT MOVE TO LET YOU BY even when you make alot of noise behind them and tell your child, "Dont worry Donavan, well be back on our speedy way soon."



4) Old men at the local dive bar. nough said.

5) That creeepy crazy mouthwash drinking dude who lives UPTOWN BESIDE THE THEATER in the same building as legal aid. wtf? Not even a residential zone im SURE. I dont know anyone who doesnt cross the street away from there, even when headed for the legal aid lawyer or to see a movie...


6) My friend Deb

(KIDDING!!!! go read her blog. It is interestingly different ;);) youll learn something... what? I dont know ;) go see. Go Deb... see ya monday)

Off Joke ;)

Thought I would clarify on my last post ;)

It was a joking reference to the amazon.com ads I added the other day.

I love amazon.com. We buy ALOT of movies from there and I buy 99.9% of all of my books off the site.

I actually forgot about the other ads, and if i broke a TOS rule with my last post i am AWFULLY SARRY.

I really dont mean to make any money (or aparently annonomous friends, teehee) but rather I an experimenting and "spreading my blog wings" if you will.

Maybe I broke another TOS by telling how much I love amazon?

I could complain a bit about the couple of STUPIDDDD movies kevin bought off there... Try Zombie Lake. It was a classic... The fact that the DVD gave the option of dressed or naked versions, WOW.

But that is kevs fault.

Or that the last book I bought from there took an extra MONTH to get here...

But once it arrived it was in PERFECT never read condition... I paid a cent for it plus shipping... cant complain there. ;)

Never the less,

Just thought I would respond to my annonomous commenter ;)

Do come again, darlin.
