I had every intention of quitting but I let her suck me right back in. ARGH
One of these days I’ll grow a backbone.

OK, I am deleting the original post since I sometimes post at work and don’t want anyone to stumble across what I originally wrote. I was just blowing off steam. Sorry folks!! Here’s the edited version:
beep beep beep bleep-ed-ey bleep bleep…I quit!

Kristen was definitely the MVP on her t-ball team tonight!!
There are no age brackets in our t-ball league. I think the ages that a kid can play are from 5 to 9. Some teams have mostly 8 and 9 year olds with a couple of younger players. Our team has 13 5 and 6 year [...]

…a nursing strike, that is.
Courtney just decided last night that she was not going to nurse. Oh, and that she was not going to sleep. Oh, and that her mommy and daddy sure as heck weren’t going to sleep if she wasn’t. It made for a lovely night, lemme tell ya.
At 2 am, she [...]

Don’t ask why I wanted to do this, but I went to a tattoo joint and let a complete stranger shove a giant piece of metal into my skin to pierce my belly button. I was told that this wouldn’t hurt…why in the hell would I believe that?? It hurt like he-double-hockey sticks. It hurt [...]

I didn’t post yesterday. I was too bummed. I worked on the computer at work all day again for the second day in a row and it still wouldn’t work right. It was running fine, but it just decided that it didn’t want to share (files) with the other computers anymore. I really hate when [...]

I woke up this morning and wondered if they’d opened a coffee shop in my living room. The aroma of my French Vanilla candle that we left burning in the bathroom all night filled the entire house. Geez, I can be such an idiot sometimes. I’m glad I didn’t burn the freekin house down.
I woke [...]

In Texas you can get in trouble for calling the barbecue pit the “barbie,” so I apologize for that.
Johnny really wanted to barbecue for the fourth last weekend, but by the time they finished cleaning the backyard, it was too late in the day to get started. So we planned the big shin-dig for [...]

Ah, if only my graphic design powers could be harnessed and used for good, not evil (or for profit, not playtime):

That’s Nikki, HIlary Duff, and Lindsay Lohan at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.
(I did it in photoshop to hang in her bedroom that is going to have a rock star theme…she has to have photos [...]

I’m tired today. Nothing exciting happened. I worked too hard for too little pay, went home and worked some more. Will these children ever go to sleep??

The highlight of my day today was watching Kristen at her t-ball game. She made tons of great plays, but the best one was when she ran outfield to get a ball and chased down a boy twice her size running to third base and tagged him out. That’s my girl!!
Johnny didn’t make [...]

July 4th was pretty uneventful (unless you count the fireworks…it’s always fun to get together with a bunch of crazy people and watch things blow up in the sky.)
We went to my grandma’s for lunch and watched the city’s fireworks show at the park that night. At first, Courtney was amazed by the fireworks. After [...]

Well, I started this day with lots of good intentions, but I didn’t get much accomplished.
I did a few loads of clothes and I’ll try to do a couple more before I go to bed if I can tear myself away from this computer. If there are any engineers out there, please invent a [...]

I’m usually a very easy going, laid back, happy person, but lately people have really been getting on my nerves. It seems that the more I volunteer to do, the more I try to help, the more people want to come down on me. Maybe I just need some medication… who knows?
I wanna bitch [...]
