Another long delay..



in posting. It seems like yesterday that I posted a new post. LOL I get busy with the kids and that takes away my time. The kids had state testing the last two weeks. Morgen brought home an astronomical amount of math homework during that time, on top of the regular work. I was in math land the two weeks. The thing is, I HATE math! I always have and I always will. UGH


Tyler is almost out of meds and is a bit unpredictable right now. I just don't know what he will do. I need to get medical insurance...yesterday!


Takoda is a booger of all boogers. I am so frustrated with him right now. Daddy laughs when he gives me a hard time. Rene gives him candy to keep him quiet. Therefore, I am completely undermined by the two other "adults" in my home. He thinks my reprimands are a complete joke. I am up in arms!


I have been busy with pictures for Moe. I will post a few here.


We went to Solvang for Memorial Day. It was a nice road trip. Of course my favorite part was the osterich farm. I am the consumate animal lover. LOL Coming in close second (tee hee) was meeting Jennifer's (ex sil) new hubby and step kids. He seems to be very nice, as do the kids. I am happy she is able to love again and have someone who can truly love her.


Well, that's life in a nutshell these days.... Takoda turns four soon.....

do NOT go to Yogurt Zone in Porter Ranch

I HATE HATE HATE their new concept. I waited with cups. I didn't get everyone in my family a yogurt because I did not have enough hands. My kids are fighting right now over sharing a cup. I got the yogurt, then waited for toppings, which I had to go in my pockets because I didn't have enough hands. By the time I reached the register, my yogurt was melted! It was soup by the time I got home. NEVER NEVER again. Yogurt zone lost my business.

LIFE IS SUCKY RIGHT NOW...

Instead of typing my gripes all over again, I am just going to copy and paste what I shared with some friends earlier tonight.....so if you are in my design group, sorry for doubling it up ;)

My sister's ex just left a message at my house threatening me because he hasn't spoken with his son in a month. Well, just last week Morgen ran the phone out to me saying it is Brent's dad. I told her to get Brent and give him the phone. A month! My sister and nephew hole up in their room and never come out. AND I bought them both prepaid cell phones for Xmas. He had the nerve to tell me it is not the same to text him. Hello, tell him to answer his damn phone. I give him chores around the house and pay him. He chooses to spend the money on toys. that is NOT my fault. Well then he says that Rene my sister says I hide the phone and ban them from using it. I said no, I tell her no strange men are allowed to call my house. She gets online meets dudes and they all start calling here. Unacceptable. Three times in the last two years, my sister has met a man online, moved in with him, broken up with them (well them with her), and then becomes homeless. Each time coming back to me. Hell if I will stand for it anymore! I am so pissed right now! BTW, I called him back after getting his message. The fact is, I never answer my phone. I get about 30 collection calls a day for Martha Bailey Jones. I tell them they have the wrong number, for five years now, and they still call!!! She is still using this number. I do pick up from the machine though. We were eating dinner when he called.

I am still fuming mad. Okay, my sister who is 44 yrs. old has NEVER lived on her own. She went from dad to hubby and hubby to lesbian relationships (6 women in one year and six homes and six schools for Brent). I think each one dumps her when they realize she is an alcoholic, as is his dad. His dad does coke too. She then moved in with me and Brent lived her for kinder, then moved. Then she went back to her ex and lived with him, his girlfriend, the gf's ex bf and they all slept around and all got gonnereah. YEAH. Then she moved out and in with some dude, then another in Montana, then came back here. Brent went to one elementary school for a whole year!!! And then middle school for 1 1/2 yrs while leaving here. Then she met a man, online older than our dad and moved into the classic white trailer trash park in the sticks. Wife beaters galore and such. Nasty nasty park. Then she breaks up with him within a week. Is out on a date with some dude and comes home to this guy dead. She then moves in with the guy after one date. He was a nice guy too. Realizes her alcoholism and calls me, I say I can't do anything, so he bails. She gets removed eventually by the sheriffs. Again, moves in with me and has been here since. That was almost three years ago. She doesn't work, never has, and never will. We PAY all the bills. She doesn't pitch in for food, NOTHING. She gets paid to clean around here! I quit paying her for babysitting because I feel it is the least she can do. I even at times kidnap my friend's daughter or get my neighbor to sit while she is here because of her drinking. I would kick her out, but this is the only time in Brent's life that stability is allowed. KWIM? He will be 16 this year. Only two more years and she doesn't get her $500 a month for child support. Then what??? She has piss poor credit because she has NEVER paid her closing bill in all of these towns. Hence why she moves town to town and out of state. She owes every utility money.
