I love some of the things I get in my inbox. This morning I received the below e-mail. Normally when I receive junk like this I just delete it but since I was in one of my “Moods” I decided to go ahead and reply back. I love how he sent it in Comic Sans MS font. I deleted last names and e-mail addresses but everything else is as it was sent!

Sucker! November 2, 2009

Do you hear that sucking noise? No, it’s not my vacuum cleaner running, although I really should give it a whirl around the house here soon! No, it’s the noise that follows me around when I get near my kids schools. They seem to suck me into everything lately. Don’t tell anyone but I actually like it!
This past week I got sucked into helping out at my youngest daughter’s Halloween Carnival. I was there from 8 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon! Our class ended up not having a game to run so I ended up helping out the other 5th grade class. It was a good thing I was there to help out because only one other mom showed up to help out for that class! I got to learn how to make popcorn in a real popcorn machine. We made and filled 500 bags of popcorn!!

I thought for sure I was going to have nightmares of this damn clown!
I think I got suckered into the popcorn deal because of Bad Karma! A few weeks ago my youngest daughter’s class went to a week-long Outdoor Learning School that was about an hour and half away from us. We had enough drivers for the trip up but not for the trip back. I ended up having to go pick up my daughter but I could not drive back any other kids because I don’t have my driving record on file with the school. Our class room mom also made the trip up there but she only wanted to get her daughter. They found out she had Driving Clearance and she ended up taking back 3 other kids. I kept walking past her and mumbling “Sucker” to her the whole time we were there! I couldn’t believe it, but right when we were about to leave I reached into my jacket pocket and I found a lollipop from our church bazaar the week before! I pulled it out and said, “Here you go a Sucker for a Sucker!”
She got me back Friday when I was leaving, she asked me if I wanted my Sucker back!

In his song Beautiful Boy, John Lennon wrote “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
What is life? What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose in life? What the hell am I doing with my life?
Ah yes! All the great questions for the making of a mid-life crisis! One of these days I suppose I will have the answers to all these questions. I also suppose once I have all these great answers I will drop dead at once so I can’t pass them on. I believe every person has to find his or her own answers to these questions.
I have thought about these questions really hard lately. The one thing I have tried hard not to do is to not stop living while I try and figure out these great mysteries of life. That would truly be a waste of life in my opinion.
Last night my youngest daughter and I took a bike ride right before sunset. We had to stop a few times to rest her little legs. During one of these stops, as we were watching the sunset over the golf course, she said out of the blue “I think life is what you do between sunrise and sunset!”
Wow! Out of the mouths of babes! I truly believe my youngest is an old soul sent here to guide me between my sunrise and my sunset!

About 2 months ago I posted a video about our progress on our Doll House. Today, my poor glue-gun burned fingers I am very happy to announce that construction has ended on this house and I am able to post an updated version of our Doll House Project!
The next phase of our project has been turned over to my daughters. They will be the Interior Decorators for this project. Hopefully they won’t take as long as the construction crew did and they will come in under budget!
Sick Day?! October 12, 2009

Ah the joys of being unemployed a stay at home mom… I don’t have to dress up to impress the boss, I don’t have to worry about the break room gossip and I don’t have to worry about the government taking all those taxes out of my check!
The one thing I really miss is having sick days! Have you ever tried to take a sick day from being unemployed a stay at home mom? I swear it can’t be done!
All weekend long I muddled along trying not to give into the fact that I might be getting the crud! We had too busy of a weekend for me to be getting sick. We had our church/school bazaar and my oldest daughter had Homecoming! Being sick was not an option!
Monday comes around and when I woke up I was sick! My ears were throbbing and my throat was on fire! As Sponge Bob would say, “I have the suds!”
My youngest daughter had the day off from school but I still had to get up and get my oldest daughter out the door. She was feeling kind of sudsy herself. I managed to get her to school and I came home and landed my sick butt on the couch with my blankie! I declared to my husband who works from home and my youngest daughter that I was taking a sick day!
Sick day my Asteroids! After an hour and a half of school my oldest daughter called and said she was not feeling good and that I needed to go pick her up! I got my sick butt up and went to get her.
We got home and I tried to go back to my couch with my blankie. I had forgotten that I promised my youngest daughter to go costume shopping today. I hate breaking a promise! So I got my sick butt moving and out we went for a day of shopping!
Now it’s time to go make dinner… my throat is still sore and my ears are still throbbing! Maybe I can call in sick tomorrow!

Question of the week: Do you have any funny sayings that you use instead of swearing?

Last Friday I took my youngest daughter and her friend to the movies. My daughter’s friend banged her knee on the car door and this flew out of her mouth: Sugar Honey Iced Tea! After I found out that she was alright I asked her what she said. My daughter of course piped in and proudly said: Sugar Honey Iced Tea! and then she told me it stood for that word that rhymes with IT. Yep, these cute little Catholic school girls have their own little code for S-H-I-T… Sugar Honey Iced Tea!

It’s that time of year again. Fall is in the air, boys are playing football and girls are looking at the boys butts in their tight football uniform pants cheering them on!

This past Friday I ventured out to a high school football game with my daughters. This game was my oldest daughter’s high school team against my old, and I do mean old, high school team. This game has become a little bit of a tradition with me and my girls.

I sat on my daughter’s school side but I proudly wore my old school’s color, red! My daughter’s school had what they call a “Black Out” and most of them wore black shirts. The others wore either royal blue or white! My red shirt stood out pretty good! The ticket lady even asked me if I was going to the correct side!
My oldest daughter is currently dating the right tackle from her team. I had to laugh because every time the boy had the ball she missed seeing it! That’s what you get for talking too much!
My youngest daughter had her pom-poms and she kept saying the above little cheer all night long as she waved them! At first it was cute… but by the end of the 4th quarter I was ready to shove those damn pom-poms somewhere that rhymes with Rass! Especially since my team got their butts kicked, 35 to 13!

Did I mention that this was my school’s Homecoming to boot?!

This week I my youngest daughter had a school project due that involved food. For her 5th grade Social Studies class she had to find a dessert to make from a country that her ancestors came from.
We have basically become mutts over the years in my family. I am 25% Irish, 25% Danish, and 50% French and my husband is Polish, German and French as far as he knows. My daughter chose France as her country. We decided to make Eclairs for her project. They were actually very easy to make!

5th Grade Social Studies Project
Chocolate Éclairs
Ingredients: Filling:| 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix prepared to directions on box Pastries: 1/2 cup butter (1 Stick) 1 cup water 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs | Chocolate Icing: 2 tablespoons butter 2 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
| 1. | Prepare pudding according to instructions on box. Chill 1 hour in refrigerator. |
| 2. | Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease baking sheets. |
| 3. | In a heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, water and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Pour in flour all at once and stir vigorously until fully incorporated and mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat, let rest 5 minutes. Then beat in eggs, one at a time, until well combined. |
| 4. | Drop dough into twelve equal mounds on baking sheets. Spread each mound into a 4×1/2 inch rectangle. |
| 5. | Bake in preheated oven 35 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and with a paring knife make a hole at one end of each éclair. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F. Return éclairs to oven for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 6. | Prepare icing while éclairs are cooling. Heat 2 tablespoons butter with chocolate in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted. Remove from heat and stir in confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla. Set aside. |
| 7. | To assemble: Using a pastry bag with a small tip, pipe the filling into each éclair. Frost with chocolate icing. Chill until serving.

Yesterday afternoon I went to pick my daughter up at school. As usual there are a few of us moms who buck the Car Line Rule and stand at the school’s front doors to pick up the kids. I know, we are such rebels! This way we can gossip talk about what is going on at school and such.
Well yesterday I asked one of the other moms what her daughter was making for the Social Studies project. I got a blank look from her at first and then the look of fear started to show! She had no idea that there was a project due the next day! She asked me what we were doing and I told her what we had picked. She offered me $30 to make her a batch of Eclairs for her daughter! I asked her if they were part French and she said “We will be for tomorrow if you can make them for us!” I took her up on her deal and we made an extra dozen Eclairs. I filled her Eclairs with vanilla pudding and used white chocolate for the frosting.
This little incident has got me to thinking… maybe I should start a new business. Rent A Mom! I could hire myself out to make desperately needed cookies and cupcakes. What, you can’t make little Timmy’s school play?! Have no fear Super Mom is here! For $50 an hour I will attend the play for you! Just e-mail me a recent photo of little Timmy and I will videotape and take pictures for you. But wait, there’s more! Act now and for just an extra $20 I will stand up a give your child the old “Way to go Timmy!” shoutout!
Hey, I’m just thinking out loud here!

Dear 1989 Just A Mom:
Oops… I guess I let that cat out of the bag! This is 2009 Just A Mom and if you couldn’t figure it out from your new name you become a mom in the near future.
Let’s see your High School Class slogan is Drugs are great, Sex is fine, We’re the Class of ‘89! First thing I’m going to tell you is don’t drop out of school! You think you are sticking it to the teachers and the administration but the only one you are sticking it too is yourself!
Here are some other things you might be interested in:
Beauty: Stay away from the perm! Don’t do it now or ever! As for those glasses you hate wearing don’t worry too much you will get contacts sooner or later!
Men: Listen to your Grandmother! She will tell you, “Don’t get married just live with him!” Yes, YOUR Grammy tells you that! Listen to the women! If you don’t listen to her you will figure out she was right in 5 months. Not too much time wasted and you get a great daughter out of it.
As for the next round with men always take a dare and always follow your gut instincts. You will meet the man you are now married to through an on-line dating site your friend dares you to join. You will have to weed out a few jerks but it is worth it. Oh by the way you might want to get on a different birth control pill because the one you are on didn’t work the first time and guess what it doesn’t work the second time either! But your youngest daughter and your now husband will probably thank you one day!
Children: Like I already mentioned you end up with two daughters. They are seven years apart but they will still fight like cats and dogs with each other. Just walk away when they start in!
When you have your first daughter don’t be stupid, take the DRUGS! Make sure you listen to your mom about her name. You will have your heart set on naming her Gretchen but you’ll see when she is born it just doesn’t fit!
As for your youngest daughter, she will be a piece of cake! Just remember nobody has died from the 5 second rule!
Family: Your mom will always stay by your side. But you know that even back in 1989. Give her lots of hugs!
Your dad, well he is just your dad. You will get to use him in a few years down the road. It’s ok to use him, your Grammy, his mom, will tell you “to take what you can get when you can get it!” Again, that lady is one smart cookie!
You lose quite a few of your close family members in the next twenty years but you also gain a few great ones as well!
Money: You make enough to cover the bills and have a little left over for some fun every now and then.
Misc.: The winning lottery numbers for September 18, 2009 is: 18-27-31-36-52 with a Mega Ball Number 53.
One day you will get a bright idea to build a doll house with your girls. Buy lots of burn ointment!
I know I left out a bunch of information but you are pretty darn smart. You’ll figure it out!
Tag your it if ya wanna be! Write a letter to your own 1989 self!
I stole borrowed this from Jean over at Jean Has Been Shopping. Check her blog out, she has a great little site!
Momma Said There’d Be Days Like These September 21, 2009

I can only wish for more days like these:
This past weekend my oldest daughter made her Confirmation in the Catholic church. I have to admit I had this strange feeling inside of me as I watched her during the ceremony. It took me awhile to figure out what that feeling was but I finally figured it out. That feeling was pure pride!
I was proud of all the hard work SHE put into this big event. I was proud of how mature SHE has become in the past year working towards this big day. I was proud of the dress SHE bought and I didn’t have to make her return because it was inappropriate!

Then there is the flip side: (Isn’t there always!)
As I sat in the church pew watching my oldest daughter receive her Sacrament from the Bishop feeling all proud my youngest daughter turns to me and whispers in my ears: “Mom, have you ever noticed that you can see the nipples on Jesus up there on the cross?!”

Imagination September 14, 2009

My youngest daughter has always had a great imagination. She is one of those children that can entertain herself for hours upon hours. If you give her an empty box she will go to the moon or open up a veterinary hospital.
This past weekend she found an old radio that no longer worked. She asked me if she could take the antenna off of it and of course I let her. So far I have found her using this antenna as a pointer while she was teaching her class of stuffed animals how to multiply, a microphone while performing on stage in our living room and as a bat as she hit a game winning homerun.
My favorite thing she used the antenna for was a magic wand. My husband and I were sitting in the living room and she came and tapped me on the head and said, “Abra Ca Dabra you are now a frog!” I replied “Sorry your magic wand must be broken.” She came up and whispered this in my ear, “Oh yeah?! Watch this… Abra Ca Dabra I turn Daddy into a stressed out old man! See it does to work!”
Damn kids and their imaginations!

Out With The Old…In With The Not So Old! September 11, 2009

I just watched the garbage truck haul off our old furniture. This furniture has been with us for the past 10 years since I got married and I think my husband had it for the 10 years prior to that! It was actually a little sad to see it go. This was the furniture I sat on when I told my now husband that I was pregnant…oops! This was the furniture that my now 10-year-old daughter learned how to walk-while-holding-on-to-something. This was the furniture that my now 17-year-old daughter sat on with her head in my lap and cried her eyes out because her first boyfriend dumped her.
A sad day indeed!


OK now that the old furniture is out of the way onto the new furniture! Actually it’s not really new as in brand new, but it’s new to us! A friend of ours had a buddy who just got married and they had double of everything. We were given the couch, love seat, chaise lounge chair, 2 end tables and the lamp. Yes you read that right, Given! We paid absolutely nothing!
Now we get to make new memories on our new furniture! The first memory I’m sure will be Who in the hell is going to spill something on the nice cream-colored furniture! I’m sure that this memory won’t take long and it will probably be me and involve coffee!
Here’s to new memories!


Back To School Speech September 8, 2009

This weekend we had an argument in my house as to whether or not our kids should watch the President give his Back to School speech.
Both of my daughters wanted a note so they wouldn’t have to watch it. They would rather have a free period! What kid wouldn’t want that! That should be reason enough to make the kids watch it, simply because they don’t want to!
I am a Conservative Republican and I did not vote for President Obama, but he is our elected President and he deserves the respect that should be given to anyone who holds that office. I made the point that the kids should watch the speech and take part in the classroom activities and then they should form their own opinions and come home and discuss them with us. I told my oldest daughter, who will be able to vote next year, that the real danger lies in her not watching what a President has to say. Even if you don’t like what the other side has to say you still need to listen to it so you can see what is going on.
My husband did not like the fact that the kids would be made to watch it. He views it as President Obama trying to brainwash our children. I told him they were not being made to watch it, that we had the option of writing them a note to opt out of it or we could just keep them home from school for the day. I of course told my husband that if he chose to keep the kids home for the day he would be the one to watch them not me!
Needless to say both of my daughters went to school today and both of them will be watching President Obama make his Back to School speech.

Two months ago we welcomed a cute little bouncing Gnome we named Weeder to our family. I even wrote a post about his grand arrival to our home.

Weeder Gnome on June 30, 2009
I had high hopes that by naming him Weeder he would take care of my little flower bed in our backyard. Boy, was I ever wrong! I think by naming him Weeder her grew the damn weeds bigger and faster!

Weeder Gnome August 31, 2009
I guess since Weeder Gnome has failed to take after his name I will be forced to take care of the weeds myself. Damn Gnome!

My 10 old daughter has been back in school for a week and a half now. But, today is the first day of school for my 17 year old daughter and the rest of the neighborhood kids who go to public school.
My 17 year old goes to a fairly new high school and this is the first year it has all four grades. This morning was a nightmare getting her to school. We live 10 minutes away from the school and it took us 40 minutes to get to school this morning! I really don’t know who was driving worse, the parents or the students! I saw more parents on their cell phones either texting or talking than I saw doing it. I can’t wait for September 1st to get here! That’s when our NO CELL PHONES in SCHOOL ZONES law goes into effect.
I survived the school drop off routine and proceeded home to go exercise. As I went out for my daily bike ride on the trails you could tell there was just something a little different about the day. The Junior High kids I passed at the bus stop were all a bit nervous and very tired looking and the moms I came across all had that look of, what’s the word… Happiness in their eyes!
I am going to enjoy my first day of back to school freedom by doing absolutely nothing! OK, I have a few things planned but they are all about ME! I might go get my hair cut without having to tow both kids with me and I am definitely going to go eat lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant that nobody else likes! As for the rest of the week, I am going out on our boat fishing one day and I might just go see a movie that I want to see another day!
Ahh… there is nothing like the first day of school!
Mother-Daughter Day At The Beach August 21, 2009

Yesterday my 17 year old daughter and I went down to Galveston for our annual mother-daughter day at the beach. We like to walk The Strand and window shop and then hit the beach for a few hours. Since nobody else likes to go window shopping with us we have made this our little tradition together.
Our day started out pretty good we loaded up an ice chest with soda and water and gassed up the car. It only takes us about 30 minutes from our house to get Galveston. We went to the Strand area first. I pulled into a little parking lot and the parking space that I had picked had something laying in it on the passenger side. I jokingly said “I’m not sure about this spot that looks kid of like a Voodoo Doll Head or something!” We got out only to find that it was a dead pigeon! We laughed our head off what a way to start the day.
I went to go pay for parking only to find this:

The note says: I went underwater during IKE and no longer work. Yay, parking is now free, it would have cost us $5 for parking.
We made our way up and down the Strand popping in and out of shops. It has been a slow road to recovery since Hurricane Ike last year but the Island is coming back. We ended our window shopping tour by going to our favorite place the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. My daughter had a chocolate dipped Oreo and I had a piece of Mint Fudge Brick. We shared a bottle of Chocolate soda which was awesome. We of course had to get a quarter of a pound of Chocolate covered Raisins for my husband and my younger daughter. Too bad they didn’t make it past the car ride home! We meant well!
After we were hyped up on sugar we took off to the Seawall. We found a spot on the beach and headed into the Gulf of Mexico. The surf was a little bit rough but we had fun! Right about the time we were getting ready to leave this guy in his 20’s came up and asked my daughter if I was her sister. She of course said ”Eww… No!”and then he turned around and left. I threw her towel at her and said “Thanks a lot! You can’t just let me have one little moment!” I told her to remember Paybacks are Hell!
The Doll House August 17, 2009

Almost 2 years ago the Easter Bunny brought my daughters a doll house kit. I tried to hide the thing and I was successful for a year and a half but about 2 weeks ago my youngest daughter pulled the doll house kit out from behind the couch and said with a big smile on her face, “Can we build this together NOW or do I have to wait some more?”
I thought about telling her that we could save it for when she has kids but I caved in instead and we started in on the doll house kit. My room has been turned into Bob the Builder’s construction site.
Both of my daughters have helped out building the house but they never help at the same time they are like a little tag team. The minute I start to get a little frustrated they tag off! My 10 year old daughter is really only interested in painting the house and my 17 year old is only interested in decorating the house.
After a week and a half we are finally at the painting point! Since my youngest daughter has started school already this job will be a little slow. She will have after school if there is no homework and the weekends to work on it.
My oldest daughter is checking out the hobby shops to decide what decor the inside will be. She has been put on a budget for decorating the house. I told her this would be a good life lesson for her in case she ever when she moves out on her own!
All I know is if the Easter Bunny ever decides to leave another doll house kit here at this house I am going to chase him down with a pellet gun!
(This is my first attempt at making a video)
