I do.  Especially on Mother’s Day.  And what Momma wants is a new post. So here I am.  I have no clue what to write about so I’m just going to type. 
Work is work.  Nothing exciting there right now. We are still working with one man out on medical so that kind of sucks. 

My husband’s leg got better and then it got worse.  Lots of detail in between but I don’t have time to get into all that.

I got my nose pierced a couple of weeks ago.  I love it, my husband hates it and reactions from family and friends vary.

Got Momma a new plant that smells goood and then a card that has a My Pretty Pony design and it says in a small child voice.  I love you mommy, happy mothers day and then it beeps like a car horn.  It was so sickly sweet that it was tacky and my ma got a big kick out of it.  When we were younger and would do something wrong we would say, “I Love You Mommy.” hoping that would soften her up a bit.  Lets be honest I still use that ploy today!

I ran out of deodorant so I had to borrow my old man’s.  Lets just say I am not used to smelling like a pine tree and it kind of makes my want to throw up.

Oh and a special note to the SUV driver that insisted in using some of my parking space yesterday.  The red from my truck looks good on your door. I would tell you I was sorry if I had accidentally crossed over the line and fucked up your SUV, but yours was on my side so that’s on you. 

Did I say happy mother’s day to you all?  No?  Well happy mother’s day.  Hope you all have much love and goodies today.  I’m not a mother unless you count 4 cats, a dog and a bird.  But those of you lucky enough to be Mommas have my respect and awe.  Well I wish I had something else to talk about, but I am either to tired or just too boring to think of anything.

Just a quick minute to say Happy Easter to you and yours from me and my peeps.  Which include my mom, sister-in-law and old friend Anne and my niece Courtney!  We had a pretty good Easter.  I blew the diet, fuck that I made the diet explode, but tomorrow is another day on the fat loss wagon.  AND mom and I beat my oldest brother and my dad’s best friend at pinochle!  Girls RULE!!!

A over due visit and some laundry.  Yep that is right 35 and still bringing my laundry to Momma’s house.  But that’s because I work a lot and have a little washer and I don’t want to do laundry at work.
How are you all doing?  I am tired, but doing o.k.  Been a week not terrible and not great.  My husband has been off on disability due to a leg wound and his company is trying to terminate him.  Which would suck.  He is in the middle of treatments at the wound care center and you know without insurance that shit is going to be expensive.  But I am working to keep us a float, but I am so tired it is hard to keep going some days.  If I just had to work no problem but there is a home to help take care of now.  So wish me luck.

Had some disappointing news on Saturday.  I have been making bigger payments on my table and chairs so I could pay it in 90 days.  My 90 days is up next Saturday and it wouldn’t be a big deal if my husband was getting a check because it is just $68 dollars.  But there will be no check so the furniture will have to run for the full amount.  About $260 more.  So I was a bit disappointed I didn’t plan better, but hey at least I will have my furniture and my job so what does it matter if I pay a little longer.
Trying to keep positive you know, but it seems when shit seems to be working out and there is a little light at the end of the tunnel things go to hell again.  This time I am not letting it happen I don’t care if I have to work two or three jobs.  We will be fine and he will get the medical treatment he needs.  If he doesn’t he might not be able to keep that leg if it keeps getting infected.
On a brighter not did anyone see Rick Springfield on Oprah?  Oh I fell in love (lust) all over again even though he is older then dirt (ok maybe just older then dust bunnies).  Do you know that my mom took me to see Rick Springfield in concert when he was on his working class dog tour?  And she had no interest in his music.  That is motherly love.  I decided that I need to get his greatest hits.  And also Michael Bublee(sp?).  His voice makes me calm.
Still have long hair, but I put it up in a clip most of the time.  But I do look pretty cute either way.  LOL.  To be honest I never thought I would be happy with long hair again, but I am.  Makes me feel a little more feminine and even sexy.  That is until it ends up on my plate.
Well my friends I want to go hang out with my folks at bit.  I have to work this afternoon so I am short on time.  Take Care All!

They said I wasn’t signed up so I went and got my blood pressure checked and came to visit withyou at the library, It won’t be a regular thing, but I wish it were.  It helps me to sit and type.  But I am working a lot and I miss my family.  I didn’t even get off for mom’s birthday, but my husband is off work and we are waiting for his disability to start paying. Until then I am working when I can. As much as I can.  Don’t want to get buried in the debt hole again.  Other then that not too much going on.  Some stuff on my mind, but nothing I am ready to write about.  I will eventually.  But for now I just wanted to say Hi!

And here I sit clicking away on the keys.  Normally I would be in bed right now, but some stuff came up at work so I had to stay over and help.  I don’t really mind too much.  I mean we look out for each other there and take care of one another.  When we do that we care better for the guys.  I wish I could put up pictures of my guys.  They are so great.  There are days when I would like to choke the living crap out of one of them, but they are rare.  Tonight we had coffee house which is where we take our consumers out for snacks, live music and socializing.  They are with other consumers and their staff and most seem to have a great time.  Two of my guys love to go and so we go almost every week.  They chat, eat, shake hands and dance the night away.  As staff I pretty much sit back and watch, but on occasion one of my guys will ask me to dance so I do.  There are some remarkable people there.  Some consumers from other homes in our company go pretty regularly and they are a treat to watch.  There is one staff that goes there whose consumer is in a wheel chair.  This woman grabs the wheel chair and like pops a wheelie and dances with him in the chair.  And the consumer gets such joy from it. What a cool lady.

When I tell people I do direct care the normal response is, “Oh. I could never do that.” And I use to say sure you could and tell them why they could.  Now I said maybe you could, maybe you couldn’t.  Not everyone is cut out for it.  I’m proud to say I am.  I think most days I am prouder about what I do now then I have ever been at a job.  It wasn’t my goal to be 35 and a direct care worker, but it was my goal to be 35 and making a difference in someone’s life.  Okay so I don’t teach 90 kids a day anymore, big deal.  I have three remarkable men that depend on me each and everyday.  What could be more important?

Look Mom day two.  I maybe… wait do I say it… be on track?  Naw because something will happen that will draw my attention else where so I am just going to enjoy the moment.
Okay I want an MP3 player and I want one the you can select the song that you want and holds lots of songs that I can put in by mood.  Example: Strong woman day would include Independance Day, I will Survive and Big Girls Don’t Cry.  Sing out loud would have: Jessie’s Girl, Fat Bottom Girls and almost all Bob Seger songs.  Being a chick day: Your So Vain, I Can’t Make You Love Me, Don’t Take the Girl.  So if anyone has any suggestions about MP3 players or songs that I should have a listen to speak up!  My songs.  Songs that I love and would never be without would be 1) Knights In White Satin, 2) Reason, 3)Don’t Stand and 4) Fancy.  What are your songs?

I have to tell you my husband and I had a great visit at my folks house. We got a great surprise when we found out Mike and Dar had come up for a visit so we got to see them too. Dar went shopping with Daddy which was supposed to be my job for the day, but I hate shopping so that was really cool of her! And Mike made this killer dinner. Steak with mushrooms and stuff, lobster tail with melted butter, baked potato with sour cream and butter. Shrimp cocktail, salad and bread. Yummy! It was like a fat girls wet dream!
Momma let me wash some clothes. I managed to get them all washed, but not dry so I’m doing that now at home. It will take a while because the washer and dryer are a stackable set so it is a little small. I always tell everyone I throw in two pairs of fat girl jeans and the fucker starts looking like it might coming running across the floor.
Please don’t get me wrong I am so happy to be here. I was so concerned about the move. How would we keep it clean? How would I feel about being here without my “other mother”? Was it the right move for my furry family? Well I’ll tell you this. It stays pretty darn clean. I take care of the litter box everyday before work. We all load the dish washer and run it (I LOVE having a dishwasher again). And I vacuum the living room, laundry and small hall everyday. Who knew I could be so domestic?! Have I cooked here? Sure I have twice. And that is in the same month. That I call a miracle.
I also feel closer to my other mother. I feel like she is here with me when I do something well and when I fuck up! LOL.
And my furry family are so happy. They have more space, puppy has a whole yard to run around in without a leash and since we have been here they all seem to feel better.
So if all I have to bitch about is a little washer and dryer then I am one lucky woman! 

Hi everyone.  Okay don’t got a lot of things to say, but I do want to say a late Happy New Year and shit.  I’m at Momma’s house, but the funny thing is that I have interent at home.  I just have been too busy to sit down or too tired.  But I hope to get to some type of regular thing going.  Holidays were good.  Worked and stuff.  And I am making head way on finding my livingroom.  I think I got three more boxes to deal with. 
So did anyone make any New Years Resolutions?  I completely forgot and I didn"t even manage to get home before the New Year came in.  I was driving home.  But when I got home my husband had made me a steak, scallops with bacon and twice baked potatoes.  Yumm!
Other then that not a whole lots going on.  Or nothing really worth mentioning here.  Hey you know what I did make a change, maybe not a resolution, but I decided no booze for a while.  I guess that is as close to a resolution as i would get.  Not because it is becoming a “problem” but because of all the sugar I am sucking down.  That and the stupid factor.  My God am I stupid when I drink.  So if we’re hanging out and you offer me a drink and I turn it down don’t take it personal.  Just want to be smart for a while.

Merry Christmas All!  Hoping you all are stuffed and got lots of good stuff for Christmas. It has been a bitchin’ Christmas!  Yep that’s right I said bitchin’.  Could be the Captain Morgan and Pepsi! Okay not going to bore you with lots of bullshit just going to put up this picture where we bitches are lookin’ HOT!!

Merry Christmas All!

Hi Everybody! Up for a visit with my folks to help out with some stuff.  Sent my husband shopping with my dad.  I helped my mom with some household stuff and a hair washing.  So I going to visit with you guys for a minute and then I have two sets of feet to groom.
We are in our house.  We have been in almost two weeks, but fully moved in for a little over one.  Boxes all over the fucking place.  Trying to find the toaster, plates and glasses.  My animals have adjusted well.  They are very happy especially my black cat Baby.  Paul keeps the house very warm and she is in heaven.  She lays in front of the heating vents sleeping for hours at a time.
Work is good.  Some days you know how it goes you want to leave and never come back.  But then you sleep on it and all is well. Tomorrow me and a co-worker are taking the guys to see the festival of lights.  4.5 miles of lights.  Should be a lot of fun.
What else? Tomorrow my kitchen set will be delivered.  Iron table with glass top and 4 chairs.  And yesterday we bought a new hard drive and a computer desk so in a couple of weeks I will be back on my home computer!  Yippee.  I miss this!
Can’t believe we have sixteen days until Christmas! Don’t have all my shopping done yet.  But I will.  Take Care all!
