The Witnesses

seriously now...like ive got nothing better to do than answer the door for the JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES???

cmon...

go buy gifts, light candles, sing carols, trim trees and drink egg nog like everyone else DAMMIT!!

so i just put my horns on and waved my flaming menorah out of the window until they were frightened off...

that'll teach 'em...

Perfection

even when she's cranky...she's perfect. in my eyes anyways. i don't mean that she's 'perfect' i mean that she's just mine, fabulous, wonderful, beautiful, sweet, kind, and sometimes cranky. the poor babe has another molar coming in and it's really paining her. she woke today at 5 and went down for a nap at 730, woke at 840 and went back down at 1122. she woke at 1218 and went back down at 1245. i tried juice, milk, popsicles and mac and cheese. she wanted none of it. so another dose of tylenol and anbesol for her poor baby gums and back to nappyland she went.

i feel so helpless when she looks at me with those giant eyes filled with gumdrop sized tears. but i can see the tooth pushing it's way through so i know that the pain won't be around too long.

my poor girl.

Ass Clown

so my grandmother....The Doctah...is a total ass clown. and im being nice by saying that. i don't want to spew hatred in writing. but she just makes my blood boil. i'm going to be quick here but let me just say that she's having ELECTIVE yes....ELECTIVE foot surgery for a THIRD time on Tuesday. yeah..i said it...for a 3RD time. no typos there. and she's giving me attitude because i haven't invited her to recouperate here. because if i did she'd expect to stay through the holidays...which mind you...she doesn't celebrate OH BECAUSE SHE'S JEWISH! but she thinks that because my husband isn't and we celebrate it that it's somehow become her holiday and god punish me for not inviting her to celebrate it with us.

i did it one year...and trust me when i say that it would be less painful to gauge my eyes out with a spoon rather than to have her here again hovering over my every move for every second that she's here. unless she's smoking in my basement...which means that she'd be at the top of the basement stairs basically smoking in my kitchen.

kill
me
now

so i remain steadfast and perhaps selfish but it's what i gotta do to keep me and my family sane. after 7 years of therapy to the tune of roughly $18,200 there's too much at stake now...keeping her happy vs. being happy myself...

the choice is crystal clear.

Let It Snow...Football, Fires and Hot Chocolate

i love the fall and i love the summer...but there's just something magical about the cold. it gives you license to hunker down, bundle up, and snuggle under. the stillness outside when it snows can be relaxing enough to let you unwind...even if it is only for a few hours. i've been cranking along with the Boobah Books. Volume I is complete with 48 pages and Volume II is well on it's way with 10 pages done since yesterday. It is really important to me to complete this project before the next wonder comes along. And with that said we've got 2 babies rooms to start/finish, monster amounts of cleaning to do, and other miscellaneous preparations for said Wonder II.

but as i just take a bit of time to relax...tell me...does it get any better than this??
