Bush, Michael Jackson, Oprah and Dick Cheney.

My blog tonight has nothing to do with the title. I was simply informed that those names generated more hits on a collegue's website for his columns. I thought I'd see what happened if I used those names here. Yes, that's me. Baaaaaaaaa!

Today was a nice day except for not being able to wake up and stay awake. It could have something to do with my little one not being able to sleep due to a bad tummy ache. It was either a tummy ache or her desire for more attention. She's my DQ (drama queen). If the girl ever goes into acting for money I'll be rich beyond my wildest dreams. Then again, I can't ignore any symptom she presents, due to her situation in life. (i.e. stroke, seizures, CP) So, I'm left with no sleep. Yay me!

On the other hand, I was able to take a small nap today because my oldest was home and didn't have to go into school until later. It's nice having her here. The weather was beautiful today and I managed to get Wonder Boy to clean up the doggy doo in the back yard, I did a little clean up after he finished and then the kids went out to play there after they got home from school. I am wishing for Spring big time. Summer? Not so much.

I spent a lot of time cleaning up the kitchen, sweeping, vacuuming, washing and shining things up. The more I wash and clean my home, the more I don't want to move and lose it. I love my house. It's large and roomy, it has air conditioning for the very first time (A HUGE thing for me) and the thought of moving again, after only two years is making me feel slighty ill. We had a lot of stuff when we moved here. We've added to it because we needed more furniture to fill this place. Moving now will be 3x the work. Ack.

Then again, they are building mass quantities of homes behind our house and all along the roads out here. Traffic is horrendous now, I can only imagine what it will be like in a few years. I won't be able to drive anywhere due to chronic gridlock.

Can you tell I'm torn? I know my children want to move....most of them anyway.

Ok, time to medicate myself. Where's the ice cream?

  3. I visited not because of your key words, but because you visited Lord of the Idiots. I often laugh with him, at him and because of him. Enjoyed your blog as well. You gotta look at life with a big sense of humor. Thanks

  5. I tried using the keyword NUDITY but it didn't seem to work too well. Let us know how yours came out and I might have to throw Cheney into a few titles...ha ha

  6. How about Nude Cheney? No, that would have the opposite effect.

    What about Michael Jackson's nude Oprah pictures?

    That could work. Or not.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

The Boy

Will Soon Be Graduating From High School This means, in some small measure, I have successfully managed to get him through 12 years of school and to the age of 18 alive. No small accomplishment, that. Today he called for a ride home after he rode the bus most of the way to our house. As it was about 90 degrees outside, I obliged. I'm a good mom, plus it got me out of a very hot house and into the sweet deliciousness of my air conditioned vehicle. My oldest and youngest daughters went along for the ride and they spotted The Boy before I did. "What's up with his pants?" Indeed. The operative word for his pants was up . He wears those extremely skinny jeans and he'd rolled them up to about knee level and he was walking towards us with a grimace on his face. He was in pain. You see, five hours earlier, in the throes of near heat exhaustion, he rolled the legs of his pants up and then his legs swelled up. He was unable to remove his own pants or roll down what he...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...
