Thank GOD the tree is down!

Christmas without my Mom just wasn't Christmas.
However Sister2 did a damn fine job!! She made breakfast and dinner. Both were really good. Got lots of stuff, but the best thing is that we may be getting a home. Sister3 has gone beyond the norm and is trying to help us get a home, areal home. One that the kids can enjoy and one that I will cherish. How do you thank someone for something like that?? The fainting I see on Extreme Home Makeovers is probably a start and if this really happens I just might faint. Having a home that is the bestest thing in the world and you don't realize it until you don't have one.
Now for happy things. Princess woke up on Christmas and has decided that Santa is a really nice guy! She is so excited and to her he did well!
Prince has a bruised penis. I mean what little one hasn't smashed it with the toilet seat? Right?? I mean it looks really bruised but it is still working and I believe this a lesson he will never forget: "Place the penis back in the underoos THEN put the seat down!"
Yes in the ghetto they need tailgates from Ford pickups. Lesson learned this morning. My Dad's tailgate was stolen!! Imagine those peeps running down the street with a tailgate! Not like the city of Detroit is going to be on the look out for it , I do know that we will be. Grey tailgate on a red Ford and that person is busted!! So I think we all need our CCW's. Just in case we run into some bad guys and need protection.
Took the tree down on Saturday because it just need not be up any longer. Santa came and it just wasn't the same.
Sister3 is a speed demon, we left the same place about the same time and yet she managed to get to my house before me!! I pay attention to speed signs. WE had took the little ones to watch a Pooh Bear play at the DIA. Prince laughed out loud twice and that was so damn funny. Princess is upset that Tigger wasn't there. Of Course he should have been, that Rabbit was there and he isn't even funny. I guess he had to have a part so that Pooh could get stuck in his rabbit hole, but still kids love Tigger. Then I thought the actors were all a bit on the older side and may not have wanted to jump around on the stage.
Let's talk about that restroom in the DIA. The men's room was nice and clean I looked while the door was opened. The ladies room had a line out the door. Seriously, the women couldn't pee fast enough to keep the line from coming out the door. Then there was the restroom attendant who couldn't get the toilet paper out fast enough. Not only did she have to get it out but then she had to fight back through the line to get it to the stall!! I think that they should consider making another ladies room. The attendant also needs a raise.

Yes Princess, there is a Santa Claus

Seems our Princess some how got a letter from the old St. Nick himself. She loves it! It was really cool so I called my sisters to see who sent it. First was Sister3 and it wasn't her. Then Sister1 and nada, then and of course I knew better Sister2 and well it wasn't any of them. Even asked curly headed friend, cause that is something she would so do, and it wasn't her either. So there must be a Santa!! I hope he gets here on time!!!
I've been on strike lately and haven't really made any dinners. Which makes me a bad wife, however I figure that bad hubby's get stuck with bad wifey's right?
My other curly headed friend, the one who got pregnant and we still aren't sure how that happened is going to do it solo!! I know major props to her. She will make it work out I know it, now if that baby gets my hair that would be awesome! Amazing too.
So Sister3 and I went to the movies to watch Seven Pounds....don't waste your money wait for the video. I was so exxcited to go see it and well it wasn't that great. That is what I get for hoping for a life changing movie. SO yesterday I rented on-demand "where GOD left his shoes" now that was a great movie!! I needed some drama.
I also made it to the store yesterday to get some gifts and well it is hard to buy for those you love. Really what do you get a sister that has everything or one who likes nothing?? IF Sister2 does that rolling of the eyes thing and that "well that is nice" in a mono tone or anything other that pure EXCITEMENT I'm not getting her anything else except gift cards again. Depending on the mood I'll be in I might just have to smack her after I eat my biscuits and gravy.
Best diet ever is stress!! I've been stressed out and eating a lot less. Like I could not even eat a 99 cents bag of chips!! Princess ate more than me!! I've not eaten all those wonderful homemade cookies....I want to but I'm not in the mood to chew. Highfive for holiday stress!!!
Now what do I get my teenson for Xmas??? After he has gotten his first ticket??? After he has made me madder in the last few months than in his whole growing up career??? I'm thinking cash.
I have to go to Mom in Laws to grab cheese for my sister, cause without it we will have no cheesey potatoes for Xmas, I hate cheese but everyone else loves them so I will have mom in law meet me outside...in her wheel chair.

Fabulous is what you make it

Let's see...it snowed in Michigan!! Princess got to make her snow angel. It was cool and she has learnt that snow equals cold.
I've looked at so many houses that I can not take it anymore. I found one that I really liked and well hubby doesn't understand the process and since someone is currently unemployed someone has no money to submit an offer. Rather than argue about it I've let it go. Hubby can continue the search or what ever he wants to call it. He reminds me so much of the child that left his homework at home. Dude what is the point?? He has the cash to start getting a home but he is waiting...I have no idea what for; however he is waiting. After nine years yes there is a pattern. He wants things to happen to him and that just isn't the type of person I am. I like security. I want to know what is going to happen and when. I don't like surprises (SURPRISE YOU'RE HOMELESS!!) Fabulous!!

Instead of stressing....I'm laughing out loud cause I've had like five breakdowns in the last thirty hours...I am going to eat Ann's Homemade cookies!! They are fabulous. Good for at least an extra ten pounds. But I need these cookies. I need the sugar.

Princess has a new found obsession with strangers...like who are they and why are they strangers and just how dangerous are they??. Someone had told her that strangers steal little kids. Fabulous! *rolling my eyes* Cause yes she wants to know why strangers steal little kids? I try to answer her the best I can. "Princess, strangers who steal little kids are just stupid, want a slurpee?"

Jim Carey was on Ellen the other day and he said that all things that happen to you are suppose to happen and are good, even if you get hit in the head by a brick, not verbatim but something very close to that. So I thought to myself, Self maybe all this horrible stuff is happening for a reason, maybe GOD really doesn't give you more than you can handle, maybe there is something out there that is better for you, maybe just maybe JIM CAREY IS FULL OF SHIT!.
Fabulous!! I know that when I win the lottery I'll be thinking that same way HOWEVER until then I'm going to keep keeping on and thinking of what is fabulous!!
My sisters are Fabulous!

One Two Three!

Been a few days so.....
Yes I put the tree up, Princess was having a heart attack cause her baby cousin has a tree and she needed one too. So we did. After we saw Santa. She was all big girl about it and even took a nice picture!! The line wasn't long and Santa was really nice. Less kids on the lap the happier Santa is.
In the mall they had trees where you could write the name of a lost loved one on an angel and hang it on the tree. I had no cash and thank GOD sister3 was able to get one for my Mom. I miss her so much. Having lots of break downs lately. You really need your mom when things are hard and let me tell you hard is an understatement.
We've been looking at houses and there are so many and nothing just right yet. Either we need to win the lottery or move over sister1, cause we'll be living with you! Imagine that:/
Sister2 is taking the lead and trying to make things as good as she can. We are heading to her house on Xmas morning, only she thinks she can give us a "time" to be there...Yeah right not going to work. We roll early. Put the biscuts on at 6:30!
She is also having dinner. For some reason this year I just can't get it together. She is planning everything and I know, cause she is very Martha Stewartish, that it is going to work out just fine.
Hubby has been crackin me up cause he actually has learnt something. I've been in a horrible mood and really not wanting to do much, think borderline depression, and well last night he went and got my favorite food without even asking me!! Yes I fainted and just had some for breakfast/lunch.
Now you know you hear of things in threes and well I've heard of three pregnancies...one to a dear friend who has been wanting one with her dream man for a while now and well seems she met him about two months ago!! Love! Sex!! baby!! WHo knew?? Another is someone that I can not believe would be ready for another she has like four little ones now and well here comes number five! She'll be fine because she never keeps any fat after giving birth! It's sounds unhumanlike but it is true!!
Then there is our dear curly headed friends baby girl...although it didn't happen in the order that she had planned for her baby girl, she is really excited!! No matter what I know she is going to make a beautiful baby!!!!
Regardless of what may happen in this up coming year I know that my sisters and I are going to be fine. That is what matters most to me and for that I am grateful!

Common sense ain't so common~ just saying

You just never know when good things are going to happen...take Friday for instance. Bad news all around.....then the clouds parted, the sun shone and angels sang (sure it was my Mom) and mortgage guy called and said "go forth and lookith for a new home." Not really but it sounded like that!! So we are on a time crunch, trying to find something we can move into within the next three or four weeks. I know Xmas and all of that but in a time like this home and spending time with family is WAYYYY more important.
Speaking of family this one is for my sister "FUCK THEM BITCHES!!!!"
It needed to be typed. She is now a member of those millions of Bush citizens whom have been "laid off." Bastards. Makes no sense to me. That's quite alright cause that means we'll be bale to watch Ellen together and but could be better? Besides she needs a bit of a break.
Now funny story about Saturday shopping with Sisters 2 & 3. Sister2 who is completely in love actually bought him a pile of shit. It's fake, but still. Imagine the lovey dovey Christmas morning and then he opens his gift. Let's all pray that we are there to witness the event cause we are all heading to her house for Biscuts & Gravy (and sausage and coffee and donuts :)
Sister3 FINALLY has her new bathroom and Princess has been telling everyone about it...they are both so excited. IT is beautiful!! She did say she is having a shower party...BYOT Bring your own towel. Love it! Five stars!!
Sister1 has been way busy lately. We did make it to Ihop! It was great, needed the pancakes.
So excited for Curly Headed Friend!! **wink wink**
Princess did the funniest thing in the world.
First her story is that she has been so excited to make a snow angel I think one of those dumb cartoons showed her how and as soon as the snow began to fall she has been waiting to lay in it!!
Well today I take her out to the car and as soon as she gets outside she put her head in the snow. Really she did. She tells me "Mom I just want to make a snow of me." I hate Noggin.
