Cindyisms

Okay this post is not for the faint of heart. So proceed at your own risk.

Today I came up to visit my folks and Momma and I once again made some Zucchini bread and cake. The response from everybody who had it last time was damn that’s good shit, so we figured why not one more time. This time I did more of the combining the ingredients and I did the grating of the nutmeg and the zesting of the lemon peel. I did a fine job and I didn’t even draw blood, but I’ll be damned if I could remember the name of that little tool. The first time I called it Astro-glide which many might know is lube. Though fun stuff, not usually used in baking. Then astro-plane and I thought what the fuck is wrong with me? Baking is like death, but that’s not right either. So Momma said it’s a Microplane and said, “Micro as in little.” Man did I feel stoopid!

Seven Loaves Of Bread and Cakes Are Baking! YUMMM!

Baking for me is a new Hair Raising experience! 

My mother keeps on saying when are you going to post I’m tired of seeing that your 35. Believe me when I tell you I have wanted to post, but lots of stuff has been going on and if though it all has been pretty important I can’t for the life of me remember any of it. Could also be that I worked twenty hours straight and then came up for my brother’s birthday at my Mom’s. It was good to see everyone and wish my brother a happy birthday, but damn I’m tired.

Okay some of you may have seen a short lived post about crap at work and might be wondering why I deleted it. Well my company has a gossip and privacy policy and even though I didn’t mention the co-worker by name it was FULL of colorful language. I like my job and want to keep it. The co-worker and I fought it out. Now we are getting along pretty good.

Friday was my husband’s and my 11th. anniversary. I was sick and he had run out of smokes so we were both very charming. Kind of like Happy Anniversary stay away if you want to live.

Right now my husband has gone on a little road trip/vacation with his Dad. They left yesterday night and they will be gone until Wednesday or Thursday. I hope they have a good time. I’m going to work and clean as much of my house as I can. Then when he comes home and fucks it up I will beat him with fry pan

That’s right folks today I celebrate another birthday.  What am I doing?  Spending it with my folks and husband.  I will be eating tuna noodle (my favorite) and hoping that birthday luck will be mine and Momma and I will win the card game.
And you bet your ass there will be cake!!

I lost my Uncle Gene last night to cancer.  Mom called me last night, but I didn’t get the message until this morning so I’m still processing some.  Uncle Gene was the uncle I was closest to. He would call the most often and when my Aunt Ardis passed he became a larger part of our family again.  He was funny, he was strong and he was loved.

Hi!  I’m at my folks once again and in little while we are going to eat. Then we will be playing beauty shop and taking care of some foot care for the folks. So how is life going folks?  Are you all happy and well?  I am doing pretty good.  On my second day off and enjoying it.  I went shopping yesterday and bought a pair of shorts to show off my big fat dead chicken colored legs.  Actually more for the coolness, but what heck and of course a new t-shirt.  And after my visit with my folks I will be going home and cleaning a bit more.  A little at a time.  One pile at a time.
Question when you were a kid did you drink right from the kitchen faucet?  Do you ever do that now?  I did that the other day because I was being lazy and didn’t want to dirty a glass.  I realized I don’t hardly do that anymore.  Is it because I have lots of glasses?  Is it because the sink at home is filled with dirty dishes?  Is it because my boobs and belly get in the way?  Probably a combo of all three.  But for a minute I was a kid again!

Okay so hear it goes.  Life has been frickin crazy and I have been working my butt off.  Why?  Because that’s just what I have taught myself to do.  Hours available?  Mine, mine and all mine.  Stupid?  You bet your ass.  But I think God has put a couple of signs up and I’m supposed to slow down.  What signs?  The fluid in the lungs, the weight gain and probably the hardest for me to mention… I have been working so much I forgot my dad’s birthday.  I didn’t even realize it until I talked to my mom.  A little more then a year ago I was so concerned that I might lose him and now I miss a fucking birthday.  How does a person do that?
So I talked it over with the people in my life and they had lots of great wisdom.  The best was, “It’s great to want to pay the bills, but you can’t kill yourself or ignore the people you love.  Work to live, not live to work.” Okay so I’m going to try.  I turned down over time this weekend and so I have Friday and Saturday off.  One day at a time right?  Find stuff to do that I enjoy again right?  Taking some advice from the little train that could, “I think I can.”

Okay so I’m trying to think about what to say that you may find interesting and I really got nothing. I mean I worked, my new resident was cool with me and didn’t try to grab my “goodies”, but neither did anybody else this week.
My frame of mind is that of a woman who has a lot of steam to blow off, no money and limited time. That could be because I didn’t have any anti-depressants for a week or it could be the return of the everyday bullshit.
I don’t know about you but I get so tired of dealing with people that don’t think, don’t give a rats ass about other people or themselves. I’m tired of feeling like my feelings don’t matter and I’m tired of holding my tongue. So here it goes…

1)One stupid people at the gas station not getting gas don’t park in front of the pump unless you are getting gas (and I’m not talking about the kind that comes out your ass). Park and go flirt with the chick behind the counter, don’t let you dick be in the way of my gas pump.

2)Woman with small child in store. Either get your kid under control or I’m going to run his ass over with a cart! Why is this child out of your sight? Do you drop him at Kroger to avoid paying a sitter? I didn’t have him don’t make me responsible for him.

3)To my old man. Two people live there. Two. Bottles have a place, so do dishes and clothes. I had the pleasure of wearing a shirt that you washed yesterday that you washed and dried. It was one of those loads that had sat in the washer too long and should have been rewashed. Do that next time. Not dry it so it smells like mildew.

4) And finally those of you who have money trouble...And when I say money trouble I mean you are working, but don’t have enough to buy new shoes or eat out everyday. Fuck you. Complain when you can’t pay your rent, can’t afford medication or your kid doesn’t have food. Who gives a fuck if your jeans are faded. Mine are patched, but I wear them. Stop and be thankful you have a job. I am, every single day.

Oh I feel better. Much better in fact. I just needed to say that. Now I’m going to go about my day. I think I’ll start by picking up the house a bit and then I nap and read! 

Good Morning my friends! Hope all is well on this beautiful Tuesday morning. It’s a bright sunny day and I’m awake. I wouldn’t be but I went in to work for a little bit this morning.
So to do a little catching up.... We have a new resident. He came from that other group home that I told you about where I was used as a human punching bag. The guy is the one who is VERY affectionate to female staff. So one male staff needs to be there at all times. I lucked out. Not sure if it is weight and height that keep his hands off of me or the fact I have already proven I can take a punch, but he is cool with me. But still the rule applies even with me. Our group home is much more laid back and our residents are older then the other home he came from so it could make a huge difference in his behavior. Not to mention more overtime until we get staff. Since the staff has to be male it could take a bit of time. $$$

Home is pretty good. All my furry children are doing well. They love that I spend more time at home. I love I get to spend more time at home with them. I took a picture of my house prespring cleaning and I’ll post that for you when I get up to Mom’s house. I’m cleaning a little at a time. Got the stove cleaned and looking sparkly, the dishes are staying done up for the most part and today I’m cleaning the fridge inside and out. Then if I have any energy and the fridge cootie monsters don’t kill my ass I’m going to tackle my bedroom. I’ll take a picture of that before and after to so you can praise me for my effort. Especially since I HATE house cleaning and I HATE that it ever got that messy in the first place. That and praise is the next best thing to you all sending me chocolate as a reward. Should I get a reward for cleaning my house? Hell yeah and for staying married so long and for staying out of jail and for being so damn cute even if I am too damn fluffy! I think we all deserve rewards for what we do everyday! Chocolate for EVERYONE! Okay maybe not for me. I think I have reached my sugar limit!!
Okay I have to go get busy. Tell me what everyday thing do you do that you wish you would get more praise for?

I’m running short on time due to spending a great day with my mom out and about, but I did just want to say hi. Vacation plans were changed and so I have spent my time and money doing stuff that I want to do around town. Dinner out a couple of times, hair trim, highlights (tried to get a picture, but it didn’t do justice to the color) and I got my gym membership and shoes. Plus odds and ends. Girl stuff and since my plans changed at the last minute some stuff done on my truck before the trip. While I’m heart broken that I couldn’t go I took some of the money to pay some bills too. So I wasn’t just a spend freak.

I have two days left to my vacation and I’m going to tackle my house a bit I think. And read. I bought a huge collection of Jane Austin stories while at the book store! 

A day early, but the greeting still counts!  I’m working Easter.  SO I’ll be cooking and trying very hard to not eat the boys candy!!  Colored Easter Eggs yesterday with my residents and my boss.  I must say some of them were a real work of art!  I splatter painted my green egg with yellow and blue glitter.
It was fun.  Today we are at my mom’s house to visit with friends Mike and Dar and the folks.  Ate a good meal (huge meal) laughed alot and now I’m typing to you!  I hope you all have lots of big plans for tomorrow and enjoy the day!

What part of the chocolate bunny do you eat first?  I eat the tail.  Everybody should eat a little tail!
