WTF??

OK I must be high on the cold medicine because I am considering bidding $40 on ebay for all of the Madame Alexander Wizard of Oz dolls. In my head I try to justify it because "Maybe they will be worth money someday". Um, I think we all know the truth. I am a 27 year old mother of 2 and all I really want to do it play with dolls. Aren't they so cute though?

It only happens once in a blue moon...

...but I am totaly fucking sick. I was up all night with a headache, sore throat, and insatiable thirst. I'm so glad that one gatorade survived Jeffs hangover this weekend because when I opened the fridge at 2 in the morning that fierce grape gatorade made me want to cry tears of joy! I even called Jeff at 2am to thank him and to complain that I was sick and let him apoligize for not being home ( >:) I'm getting pretty good at this jewish guilt thing) but he didn't answer. It's ok though, I took another alka seltzer cold and passed out until 8am. He called me then and gave me a few 'poor baby's', a 'make sure you rest and drink lots of fluid', and even a "I'm so sorry love". Awww. I feel much better now that I have some sympathy.

Well not really. My head really fucking hurts. Damnit! It's probably because I forgot to put on my glasses today. I'm really bummed out though because I'm supposed to go out with my new DMV friend to lunch tomorrow. Damn germs. I probably got this cold from the nasty ass DMV. You know what I find interesting? Everyone has to go to the DMV but whenever you go there it is full of...hmmm I'm not mean enough to put into print the kind of people you might find at the DMV. But y'all know what I'm talking about. Gross gross gross. LOL, but then it is funny to see the one impeccably dressed middle aged woman with her designer bag and all her jewelry and she won't sit...just sort of pace back and forth and you can see her thinking, 'so this is how the other half lives'.

reason 987,596,284 that I love Sams Club

Prescriptions there are so cheap! I called this morning and I'm going to save $60 on this months refill! I pay $70ish at Walgreens for what I can get for $12 at Sams Club. Woo Hoo! Plus it's a chance for me to eat pizza there for lunch. I can get my prescription and feed me and the kids and still have $55 left over. Hmmmm, I'm sure I will be able to spend it quickly at Sams. I wonder if they sell shop vacs....or miter saws.

I bought a bunch of lumber on a whim at Home Depot a few months ago because I was going to make a picket fence garden style bed for Kimberly. I have the lumber and the instructions, the nails and the wood glue...I just don't have a saw. Hmmm, this ought to keep me busy while Jeff is away again.

He's in California. In wine country. I requested San Francisco sourdough bread and a bottle of wine for my souvenier. Last time he brought Kimberly a pink kimono from China Town. Kimberly says, "This is what my Daddy got me from Chinese world." hmmm...close enough. She knows that he always brings her something when he travels and now it's getting to the point that when he doesn't travel he will come home from work on a regular day and she will say, "Where's my present?" Then, instead of setting her straight, he will find something lame in his truck, like a pair of safety glasses and she will jump for joy and squeal and give him a big hug. He says he is just preparing her to be spoiled so that when she starts dating she will have really high standards. Look out world, in 15 years there is going to be a demanding beautiful tall leggy blonde breaking some hearts.

Why I love Tequila Patty

The other night me and my neighbors were sitting around and everyone started talking about a white skirt I was wearing last week. They started going on and on about how it was see thru and you could totally see my ass and even my husband was like, 'Oh yeah! I remember that!" WTF??? I looked at Patty, (my friend, my comrad, the girl that is on my side) and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you could see everything through my skirt???!!!" Her reply?

"I just thought it was Stella being Stella."

My mouth dropped. I think this is right up there with my Mother in law saying that my unborn daughter was "Just like her Mom" when Kimberly was bent over with her legs open during the 20 week ultrasound.

To her credit, Patty is the sweetest warmest person I know. She is a giver. Kimberly would rather hang out at her house all day because she is treated so well over there. But every once in awhile Patty will come out with a comment like this that keeps us all on our toes.

Oh and I'm retiring my white skirt. That's just me being me.

I'm big time now

My house is finally on mapquest! Well, the streetname is incorrect so you can't look up my address, but if you know where to look you can definitely see it! The aerial pic must have been taken before we moved in because the driveway had still not been poured but regardless (or irregardless a la our retarded president) I am still excited to see our home on the map. I'm surprised that my car wasn't parked on the street in front of our house because I was literally there every day during construction. I was obsessed with my house. I still am. Well, a little less so because I am sick of cleaning it over and over and over and over and over and over again. I love that I can do whatever I want to it. Pink stripes in the powder room? Sure why not? My bathroom is sickeningly sweet now but I like it. Jeff just smiles and nods. Smart man.

I spent the day at the DMV. Well, I cheated actually. I got there at 10:30 and they were on #44. I pulled a number (#88) and then left and took the kids to McDonalds. I went back at 11:30 and they were only on #62. I loaded the kids back up and ran home for something and when I got back there at 12:15 they were on #92. Eek! I missed it. I went up to the desk anyway and played dumb and they went ahead and let me get my Texas liscense. While I was waiting though I made a new friend. I have been really lazy about meeting new people since all my friends are my neighbors. I used to always be on the lookout for potential playdates and stuff but now I don't even think about it anymore. We were chit chatting and she gave me her phone number. :) I remember how lonely I was when I used to hand out my number to virtual strangers so I am going to make sure that I call her. Probably tomorrow. I liked her a lot. We talked about her fake purse and how much we love Target. Oh and she was sneaking in with #77 and she said 'If they don't let me then I will just sit here and let them listen to my baby scream for the next 30 minutes!' LOL at the thought of torturing a crappy government worker with a screaming baby...she might turn out to be a good friend. :)

Oh and after I got my new drivers liscense the lady behind the counter said, "Congratulations! Your an official Texan now!" Like it was the best thing in the world. I'm telling you the Texas pride here is something to behold!

Educational television

I love HGTV. It must be genetic because my mom is totally addicted to HGTV. Jeff, however, likes watching decorating shows as much as I like watching 'Fishing with Roland Martin' on Sunday mornings.

"All these stupid shows are the same! Some princess of a man goes into a room and puts the sofa on an angle and 'WOW! What a transformation! And why don't they call it a 'room'? They always talk about what a great 'space' this is! It's a fucking room you idiot!'" Apparently watching hgtv makes his brain bleed because Jeff cries and complains and begs to watch something else and when I say no, he puts me in an arm bar and steals the remote. >:(

Yesterday I had to scootch (is that even a word?) the bed over in the guest room because the sheetrock guy had some work to do on the ceiling right over the bed. I was too lazy to move it back and when I walked in there today I loved how it just opened up the space. :) I don't think I would have noticed if Jeff hadn't gone on and on about furniture on angles. Thanks baby, I learn something new every day because of you!

Why why why?

Why do I want another baby so bad? I was just going about my business this morning and then WHAM! I can't stop thinking about being pregnant again. I have babies of the brain. I think I should get a dog or something. Kim is turning 5 next month so we could make it a birthday present. LOL, who am I kidding? I don't want a friggin dog!

One day I am counting the days until my kids are in school so I can get out of the house and the next day I think it's a good idea to start all over again. Ok, I feel better now. No more babies...

Damn natural instincts! If I had waited to have kids I would have had 2 by the time I was 35ish and then the decision to not 'risk' trying again because of my age would have been made for me. But in my mind I have a good 7 years to have another before I become higher risk. Plus I have it pretty good because both will be 18 years old by the time I'm 43. That will be fabulous.

Honestly though I just have a feeling that I will have 3 kids. I feel like it's just a matter of time. I feel like there is another little soul out there that is meant to be mine. Hmmm...just as long as Jeff doesn't get a vasectomy. I am not worried though. He hates going to the doctor and I know that he wont actually go unless I make the appointment for him and we all know that's not going to happen. (insert evil laugh)

p.s. It's no secret to Jeff that I'm plotting for a third. He's scared. and he should be. >:)
