cause for celebrations

Much much much cause for celebration, a new wardrobe and A NEW HAIRCUT J

 

 

And look at the back how short it is ZOMG!!!!

 

I am so oober excited about this…this haircut is gonna look BOMB with my Halloween costume under a black fedora.

 

EEK… I IS HAPPY

 

How many ways can one completely “eff” up their life.

I should really consider myself lucky…how many times have i driven home under the influence and didn’t A) get pulled over or B) get in an accident killing myself or someone else or both…dumm dumm dumm*(and that was me saying that i was dumb not that music sound played when something has just been revealed).  Last weekend i experienced a very life changing event….my very first DWI.  I could really go into the timeline of how it took place but to be honest i would rather NOT relive that night anymore.  It was sheer stupidity for 2 reasons A) i was not DRUNK, i was one beer over the limit…completely fine on my part but not according to the breathalizer B)–i was just an idiot…this can happen to anyone and it happened to me and i have no one to blame but myself.  Fortunately, my family see’s it that way too “It can happen to anyone”…and they are being truley supportive THANK GOODNESS.  Just not looking forward to court, fines and lack of a DL for @ 30 days….oh and the fact that this is on my record FOREVER…ugh.  Needless to say this girl will NEVER get into the drivers side of a vehicle with more than two beers/drinks in her over a 3 hour period EVER!

This is suckin hardcore…i more than likely wont be going back to school till the spring…which i can deal with but with all the fines that i am gonna have to pay…well needless to say xmas is gonna suck for my kids .  Amaya’s birthday is only 2 weeks away and i am EFFED…she has no idea what happened and i dunno what i am gonna tell her cuz she’s gonna catch on that mommy isn’t driving…oh and then there is my car…i still havent gotten it fixed from when that accident back in May happened EFF.  Really…i am becoming the worst and most irrisponsible parent i know

The end is the beginning is the end is the middle?

I use to lay awake at night pondering many things.   Some quite important to my daily living needs and the needs of my children and others (most of them) simple little day dreams and wishes.   Now that I am waking up before the rooster crows to get in a half ass work out i am exhausted by the time my head hits my pillow and i actually fall asleep.  As you can see below my daily routine leaves very little room for my compulsive worrying and imaginative wishing

5:25-5:40 attempt to wake up.  Having alarm set to go off every 5 minutes really helps this out.

5:45 after sluggishly dressing myself in something that doesn’t stink its time to work out.  First i must make sure i have a huge glass of water and either a) the remote to the tv if i am watching the news or b) the headphones to the portable dvd player if I am catching up on my Heroes via Netflix (i love you).  Hop on elliptical.

5:45-6:15-6:20 sweat ass on elliptical (if i am watching Heroes it goes for 35 minutes…otherwise 30 minutes of the news and its all repetative).

6:25 proceed to strength and toning training—-ugh and owe.

6:35 make toast and shove down throat with out tasting along with small glass of milk.  I wake amaya at this point every other day for a shower….and somehow i am in and out of the shower before she is???

6:40 wake children (1st attempt) and lay out clothes for the day (and yes i realize it would be easier if i would just lay them out the night before..but then where is the fun & drama in that?)  Hop in shower

6:48 exit shower and attempt to wake children for 2nd time or remind them to get dressed & make beds for second time. 

6:50 get dressed, brush teeth, fry hair (i use a wet to dry straightener … definately a time saver in the mornings!) and make up.

7:05 triple check to make sure all clothes i laid out are on and on properly (amaya always forgets her socks and something always goes on backwards with tyson)

7:07…get snacks for children, put Tysons into zip lock bag so he can easily open at school.

7:10 run back to bathroom cuz yes…i forgot the deoderant and meds…graw.

7:11 run back to kitchen and throw fixings for the other half of my breakfast, my lunch and a snack into a plastic bag.

7:13 possibly remind children for 10th time to put shoes on …and quite possibly remind Amaya of her socks again and remind her that she didn’t brush her hair.

7:15 hopefully fleeing out the door

7:30-7:35 arrive at daycare and attempt to drop them off w/o being held to a 15 minute conversation.  Leave to work

7:45-7:50 arrive at work

work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work

5:00 (hopefully on the nose) leave work and drive to daycare

5:15 arrive at daycare with hopes that i am not hearing A) Tyson was crabby B) Tyson had an accident C)Amaya is upset about something.  This can sometimes lead to a 15 minute hold up …ugh

—-tuesdays i fortunately have the pleasure of going where ever i want after work as the ex husband picks the children up from daycare…i generally use this time grocery shopping or doing some sort of errands that can still be accomplished in the evening hour.

—–Soon on wedensdays I will just be picking up Tyson at daycare only to race over to SACS (Shak0pee Area Catholic Schools) to pick up amaya from her religion class.

—–Most Thursdays its just Tyson and I until @ 630 as Amaya has piano…I have made a consistent request that this day be changed to Friday or Saturday when she is with her family.

—-Fridays (unless there has been a swap) i go home!!!!

back to reality

5:40-5:55 (depending on when daycare lets me out the door) arrive at home and watch kids kick off shoes and dump backpacks where ever…remind them to put backpacks on table and shoes by door…the evil things i request of them.

5:55-6:00 start dinner…pray that i have all ingredients and that they will eat it….definately being a picky eater as a child has come to bite me in the ass!

6:25-6:30 dinner is just about done and my 3rd request as master slave driver is that the children set the table.

6:30ish….eat NO TV …this is the #1 rule and they know it!  We have conversation and for the most part it takes my son less than a decade to finish a meal!

so from here until 8-8:30 depending on how long it takes us to hang out, do homework, have a snack, read our “15 for fun” and just get ready for bed.

8:30—joy time to clean…most of the time its not that bad.  I will make my lunch for the next day, do a little laundry (if its sunday/monday) empty and refill dishwasher…nothing too bad really.  the rest of the cleaning is saved for the weekend!

9ish…finally drop on the couch and hopefully crack open a beer or pour a glass of wine.  I have very few shows that I watch and seeing that most of them are on when my children have control of all technology I will DVR them (thank god for that) and watch at this time with the hopes that i wont fall asleep.  The only exception is Football…sorry kiddos but mom has her limits.

Fortunately …when football is playing its the perfect setting for backround noise and i can WOOHOO go on the computer! (Hence the long blog tonight)

and about this time (10:03) is when i start to realize that bed sounds awesome…maybe not sleep just yet but bed  awaeaeweqeaew (insert drooling noise that Homer Simpson makes).  So with that said i will sneek to my bed (but not before folding laundry and swaping loads) and start this lovely routine that leaves me thoughtless, worriness less (?) and wishless…someone dream a little dream for me please?  Oh well…at least this will guarantee my plan of being single for a long time….but I want to go to school this winter and am wondering the when and how???

uffdah!

again with why men suck!

K so I went on this blind date a while ago before I left to Colorado…nice guy, we hit it off blah blah blah…I have seen him a couple of times since I got back and text like every day.

 

SO…I invited him to the hog roast that I went to on Saturday.  I figured since he lived in Shakopee it would be an easy drive and that quite POSSIBLY I would just go home with him that night (we’ve only kissed to this point)…and dude says “yes” ! sweet!

 

Saturday gets here and I knew that he wasn’t gonna show till later but I got there around 530.  So finally after hours of texting him he shows up @ 10:00pm…and I meet him at the end of the driveway.  And at this point he tells me he’s not going in?!?!? saying he doesn’t know anyone and when I ask him why he even came he said to see me … I said that was sweet but he cant be selfish and expect me to sit outside away from everyone at the end of the driveway with him for the rest of the night???  I told him that if he wasn’t gonna come in maybe he shouldn’t have came and should leave…..and so he did.

 

And this is why men suck!

No Expectaions = Large Expectations

*FAIR WARNING MUCH VULGAR LANGUANGE IN FOLLOWING RANT*

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people…men (or boys depending  on their maturity level) in particular.  SO i have a buddy in which the two of us dated once when i was like 15-16.  It definately was a short lived high school romance and he quickly left me for another girl in my group of friends.   Well, surprisignly throught the years we have remained somewhat friends and over the last 2 years have been hanging out more.  He’s an awesome guy and i adore him and love hanging out with him.  So … why is it that after my relationship with homo dickwad robbing the craddle cock sucker mother fucker ends does my buddy assume that i am FREE EFFING GAME??   ok…so i made it pretty damn clear to him that i did not want anything to do with any guys or a relationship for a while and by pretty clear i said “HEY!! I want to be single…haven’t been single for more than 2.5 months in over 10 years…need to focus on kids and MY LIFE and not someone elses…no boyfriends or anything equivelant, maybe after the summer i’ll reconsider but for now S.I.N.G.L.E.”.   “cool” .. he says “when ur ready you’re ready”….YEAH FUCKING RIGHT!!!  So this buddy of mine is a stellar tattoo artist so he offered to draw up that tat that i wanted and ink it on me….and offers me a SIC SIC rate….a)because he thinks its a killer piece that would look awesome in his portfolio and b)he wants a piece….grrrrr.  I once again reminded him of my S.I.N.G.L.E. for the summer at least plan.  So i offer to buy him a ticket to Warped Tour and i’ll pay for all of his food and drinks…my way of saying THANK YOU!!!!  so i didn’t hear from him at all before the concert and never answered calls, texts or emails.  And after the concert i sent him texts and emails trying to find out if he was even alive and kickin.  Last night/this morning at 147 am i get a text from him FINALLY:

“Not trying to avoid you at all.  Had some madness go down and not sure what is going on between us.  Are we just friends or what.  Kinda lost just want to know whats up i guess”

WHAT THE FUCK…fucking idiot….i mean…do i have to get a chart and make a presentation of my S.I.N.G.L.E. for the summer plan.  Oh and FYI colorado boy…awesome and stuff but we are NOT together…thank god….i dont think i can do this whole girlfriend thing anymore.  I still get a kick out of flirting with him…but to be involved now…yeah i’ll pass on that ok!   So back to dipwad…seriously.  I just want to wash my hands of it but since we have been friends for so long and he did give me a deal on my what would be a very expensive tattoo and he still is gonna see my friends and coworkers i should prolly explain all this to him again…but AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh……can i just move already??

an EVENTfull weekend

 One great weekend after another…this weekend after partying hard friday night and trying scotch for the first time, I was on the road @ 8am to head down to KATO for Vikings Training camp…and what a tease I got when they started their scrimage….TJACK GOES DOWN!!!

 

not enough of an injury

 

Oh TJack…why couldn’t you have gotten a more severe injury…would’ve made our lives so much better.  Oh well, he’re some of AP!!

AP IN THE END ZONE..get used to it! AP and his family, AWE

After waiting in line to get autographs we finally get there and they wont let anyone in line for Bobby Wade, Sidney Rice or Bernard Berrian…fortunately Andre Allison was still available and I didn’t have an effing clue who the rest of them were!!!

So after that my nephew got to do a few of the games that they had there for kids and we headed home.  We were back in town by about 1pm and my hangover was making me a very unhappy person.  Mom’s suggestion: Bloody Marys!  And so we did and I had many.  You would have thought that I would have gone to bed at a decent time seeing that I didn’t get any sleep the night before…but no my insomnia kept me up till after 2am again!  But alas…I found a cure the following night, WARPED TOUR 09!!!

My Couisns and I

and even though my buddy that i bought a ticket for didn’t show fortunately my cousins were there and didn’t mind me tagging along.  Had my buddy given me any notice that he wouldn’t come I am sure there would have been plenty of people that would have LOVED to watch me drink and get burnt!  Luckily I was able to sell his ticket!  So yes…many beers and plenty of sun later I looked like this by 6pm!

YAY for Stacy showing up and making my sunburnt face look even worse!

I was so happy I got to see this girl!!! its been ages and i miss her soooo much.  She had to work that day but got there just in time to see her fav band Underoath play their last two songs.  By the time Bad Religion was done playing I was GONE!!! I got home and my head was just POUNDING.  I did NOT drink enough water and with the sun and lack of sleep all weekend I was out by 8pm.  I stopped at Subway on my way home and got a sandwhich and ended up waking up like every 20 minutes to take a bite…strangest way i have ever eaten a meal.  Great weekend though and I am so relieved that I have to work this weekend so I can lay low cuz I definately need it!

Birthday Weekend 09

My birthday weekend was a blast as usual.  Started out with some margaritas provided by my dad.  I dont like mine blended so mine were on the rocks with double the tequila and triple sec…AWESOME!!!

 

 

 

 

 

The Margarita King

and massive amounts of crab legs and other food (i just devoured the crab legs, wasn’t aware of the other food till I cleared my plate).  After the crab legs came the card games.  My birthday is the only time i can EVER count on the entire family getting together.  Its rare that all 3 sisters and their spouce’s are in the house at the same time.  SO i requested a new picture of the 3 of us…too bad Sandra didn’t show up in yellow too!

 

 

 

We three sisters of "Dont mess with us cuz we're more evil than we look"

i’m loving my new hair cut!

Saturday I was up at 730 thanks to my lovely son, but he let me veg in bed till about 8am…what a doll!

Then around 11:30 it was off to River City Days for some fun, food, beer and WATER FIGHTS!

 

 

 

 

 

Water Fights!!!

Fun times to be had by all…and yes we did get very wet!  Unfortunately Shakopee took first place but the Chaska 2 team …which formed the day before mainly consisting on the Fire & Rescue Volunteers, a friend of mine included, took 2nd place while the Chaska 1 squad who have been formed for several years and practicing for over a month took 3rd   Way to go CF&R Volunteers!!!Now off to nap and get ready to rock with DUST n BONES!!!!DUST ‘N’ BONES!!!

 

DUST 'N' BONES!!!

 

This is my buddies Guns n Roses cover band and they are AWESOME!!!  My buddy is Slash there on the right.   I wonder how much booze were in those Jell-O shots…and i dont like Jell-o but it was a good time to be had by all.  Wish that a certain someone could have been in time or at least extended his layover much longer…but all in all great weekend!

 

 

 

OUCH and so worth it but OUCH

I FINALLY GOT MY TATTOO…after it being visioned in my head for many months and then finally in the process of being drawn up by a buddy of mine and then getting it right ….yesterday i took a 1/2 day from work to get this bad boy done! 

and yes it hurt badly, and no there will not be anything going down the center because a) too many people wrap snakes around knives & swords b) its suppose to look like it is going in/out of my back and c)TOO EFFING PAINFULL!!!!  but i am VERY pleased that 4 hours in a chair resulted in this!   Now for my next one???

so very VERY quickly while i have time to breath

work has been crazy hectic…the last 1.5 weeks i have been at my desk from 845-515 in most cases WITH OUT EVER LEAVING…1/2 the time i would realize it was 2 and I SHOULD PEE!   its been fun…ufdah!

YAY!!! I bought my plane ticket to go out to Colorado over the 4th…pammy and i are gonna cause trouble!!!

Bought mine and my sisters tickets for Green Day on the 11th…super stoked that she is going with me!

Going on a party bus (my first —i am a virgin ) this friday …should be a good time with my sister, cousin and aunt!

Luau on friday…in which case i am not nervouse about because (one of the things i really wanted to IM you marcoda) i have lost 15 lbs…count it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 POUNDS since d-bag did me the huge favor of leaving me…i am about 3.5 lbs from my goal weight right now…i am super tan and super blonde and well yeah kinda super-ficial? hahaha!!!

what else…hmmm oh right my tattoo…Its drawn up but not in my hands but will be soon…for those that want a quick description it will be a snake on my back that looks like it is coiling in and out and up my spine….I CANT EFFING WAIT…best part yes…my “friend” is drawing and inking it on me all for what??? $20 bucks!!! hells yeah, dont know how i landed this hook up but i did!  (Seeing that my two little ones combined were around $200)—-sweetness!

right right…midnight showing of Transformers 2 next Tuesday with said “friend” and another friend…yummy Optimus …drooooool.

and finally…back at rents, all is well, kiddos are doing great love being with nani and papa and having a pool and the neighbor girls and so on and so forth…k back to work.

It’s a whirlwind of spectacular crapola

Why might that be you ask?

I am far from packed to move to my rents this weekend. I don’t know if it’s because I have procrastinated or due to the fact that I have too much shit…I will go with the latter of the two thank you. Really though, between my children and I we have too much stuff, so much in fact that I have to rent a storage unit for the summer! Whatever, I guess it’s not that bad but its going to take more $$ away from my down payment!

Speaking of money, I HATE BANKS … you would think after almost 9 years with the same bank they wouldn’t try to eff you as much as mine has. “lets not post items that are pending and process them first anyways before all the smaller items and then charge 7 overdraft fees @ $35 each instead of 2!” ….great….I’m on my way to saving money OMFG!

Saving money…whats the point? I don’t think I will ever have the credit that I want and need to be pre-approved for a home and by the time I am prices are going to sky rocket….yeah the house I was suppose to go look at on Saturday…in negotiation stages right now CRAP and it’s a foreclosure so I am sure it will sell….”well I’m gonna crap double for you tonight” name that line bitches I dare you!

I just want the weekend to get here…I want the moving to be done and I want July to get here so I can go to Colorado Springs and party my ass off and forget about everything or at least leave everything I don’t want to remember behind me! Is that too much to ask? I could blog about my kids….but really nothing new…I’ll have pics after tomorrow’s first piano recital and that’s about it. Sorry, just blowing off steam.

 ***Well make that 9 mother effing over draft fees @ $35 each…yeah that equals $315 that my effing bank just got for free from me!***
