Since it has been over a month...here goes

Still putting things away and making it our home. I love it!! It is just what we needed the stress has gone way way down.
Since I haven't been on in a while let me start off by tellin you all that I was thrown out of the eye doctors office. Why you might ask? Because I wanted to watch him remove a style from my little sisters eye. Seriously you would have thought I did something or said something and I did not. He yelled, yes he yelled, "Get out of here you aren't my patient." I told him his bedside manner was horrible, then as soon as I got home I reported this promptly on every website I could. My sister's eye was horribly blackened and swollen, never ever again.
I've been trying really hard to get into the holiday spirit but it is still so hard without mom. Princess is so excited so I am trying to feel it. She wrote a letter to Santa , who responded in kind. It was really cute and now she thinks he really has his eye on her.
My son is doing amazing in school. Told him he just had to do the work and of course he would do well. He is having tons of teen drama and as I roll my eyes about it Sister2 reminds me that I was just like him. Really? I don't remember it like that at all.
Hubby has stepped up!! I love him. I knew I married him for a reason. He has been so wonderful. Life is good.

Finally Home!!!!!!!!!!!

Big huge thanks to my sisters and of course my Father...he made this all possible without him I'd stillbe in hell.
We have a nice little ranch home witha full basement in a very quite neighborhood...there is a park on one corner and a school about a block down. We have build in bookcasesa nd hard wood floor...and yes there is a santa cause even in the little ass kitchen there is a DISHWASHER!!
After much searching and tons of paperwork and my dad being a super dad, I owe him big, we are finally home. Princess has a cute room and she is loving it...how I know?? she cleaned it all by herself without me even asking!! Okay most of her toys are packed in the basement but still.
I met a Cuban in Florida and she has been cracking me up thoughout this entire ordeal. I know go figure a Cuban in Florida! HAHA
The cat has been groomed and after a brief stay all alone in an empty house he is now home with us..he is still checking out the place.
My BFF has pulled though...she has worked her butt off helping us move and pack twenty years of stuff and then helping me see the light that I really didn't need five of the same things!
Out with the old in withthe new

Thinking out loud

The pains of house hunting is all in who you take on the trip with you. If you take one of your very supportive sisters, all houses have that potential that people tell you about..."If you tear down this wall and take down all that wall paper and tear up the carpet and replace all the windows with that million dollars you have then this foreclosed house will be perfect!!!"...If you take your very unsupportive spouse then it is a horrific experience. The problem is you can't actually bid on a home the spouse is going to be paying for without him looking at it. Right?
He managed to embarrass me in front of the realtor to the point that I do not want to even give her a call to look at more houses, the poor woman has already taken me to several and the two we liked fell through. I just know that if we had been looking the entire time we have been in this hell hole, by now we'd have a home.
It's official I am addicted to facebook games..I am MAFIA WARS!! It's a shame and I completely blame my hubby cause he got me a puter for my birthday and then put it right in the living room where I have easy access to it 24/7.
Teen son is still putting in apps and not getting a damn job.
After attending the birthday party in da hood for a friend of the family's Princess has decided she wants to learn some Cupid Shuffle and we are practicing!
My favorite show is back on Toddler and Tiaras, this of course reminds me that I can so put my little princess in these shows because all the judges say they are looking for personality and Princess has tons of personality!!! I also know with my amazing shopping skillz I can so find a pageant dress for way less than six hundred dollars. Plus we have discussed her walk and she has the blowing kisses at he judges down pat!!! Just a thought

Damn neighbors, not mine but my curly headed friends'

Today I had lunch with curly headed friend...the usual chili fries and coke. However on my way out, I meant to take her the Goya (spices) that I got her so that her food would be fantabulous but of course I totally forget the spices! So I took it to her house. Princess and I were waiting on the porch when she walked up the street from her sisters' house carrying her cute, nephew like a sack of taters. Little guy is as cute as he can be!!
Across the street, from curly headed friends house, some men pull into the driveway of the newest foreclosed home on the block and since curly headed friend is also a detective on the DL she decides that we need to go over there and see what is up. Curly headed friend walked up on the guys like she owned the place! We asked what they were doing and they were actually cleaning out the house...CHF starts telling the guys about the meth-lab that the home was raided for and a lot of crazy other happenings then she spotted her wreath. A wreath that she gave the former owner to hang on his door for Christmas. Actually she gave him two because for some crazy reason the house has two front doors, not to mention two bathrooms that are side by side and she thinks this would be the perfect home for me to live in!! WTF?!?! As she is rummaging through the front closet looking for the other wreath that this man left, she can not believe that he do not take her gifts!! CHF has no shame and continues to go through cabinets and closets leaving no door unopen. Something I notice that she does with swift precise movement...like a child on Christmas morning opening their gifts looking for that one gift that they can not live without...she finds treasures, a glass bowl, her wreath and because she is not greedy also finds a bag of dog food to give me for Tilda. Afterall, she tells me, his dogs are dead since they were shot by the police in the last raid.
Did I forget to mention that it smelled like a few things died in this place??! I'm thinking nothing can get rid of that awful odor!
CHF's is awaiting the arrival of her newest and first granddaughter....her daughter looks like a pregnant model! I just know as soon as she has her baby she is going to be one of those lucky bytches that gets right back into her size two jeans...yes I am jealous. After my first I lost the weight in like a month, I gained like seventy pounds...she has gained like seven! My only advice is to get the drugs!!!!!!!!

Healthcare now

Well hubby got me a puter of my very own for my birthday...can I get an AMEN!?
So it took two weeks before it was hooked up, but it is and I can now ignore the TV and do some posting.
Let's see the house hunt is on and let me tell you the race to get a home is on. There are tons of houses and people must really be standing in line waiting for the signs to go up in the yard so they can make an offer. Two houses and so far not good. Love some houses but not "the one" yet.
I'm waiting up for Teenson to get home from Cedar Point. Can't believe it but he has driven himself there!
Today I went to dad's to get some papers and decided to stop at IKEA to get a puter desk for my new puter...two hours later I am sitting in the parking lot trying to get the desk in the little escort. I know right...let teenson drive the SUV to Cedar Point cause I'm cool like that...somehow I must have forgotten that and couldn't get the damn desk in the trunk. Had to call Sister3 to pick it up...thankbabyjesus she came. Princess was having a tea party in the parking lot of Ikea and it was hot!
I told Princess that we have to do something nice for her Auntie since she came all this way to pick up my desk and she responded "Mom, when I'm thirty and I hatch a baby I'll name her after Auntie." I think that is a good deal...pick up desk have first born grandchild named after you.
My Bff is no longer here and I really needed her help one day a couple of weeks ago and went and picked her up...to clean. I did not have the energy, not even the ipod was giving me the boost to clean...but she did. Thank you!!
Sister2 told me today that she doesn't want healthcare for everyone...because if someone isn't insured they can go to the ER and get checked. This really got to me cause I was refused services at the ER because I wasn't insured. Actually I was told there was nothing they could do for me because I had not insurance. They did give me morphine then sent me on my way. I know too many people that do not have coverage, I've never had coverage except for a few months of my adult life. I know people suffer, our own mom didn't have coverage for a very long time but sister2 doesn't want to have to wait longer for her care and if it doesn't work for her then she doesn't want anyone else to have coverage. WOW. I really hope that she never has to go without insurance. I hope she never has to suffer though chest pains and back aches because she can not afford to go to the doctor, not to mention a dentist.
Everyone in the country deserves healthcare so please tell congress to vote yes..
First, see if your Rep. is in the Energy and Commerce Committee here. (If not, call Chairman Henry Waxman at 202-225-3976)

Then, call the Congressional Switchboard at 800-473-6711 and ask to be connected to him/her. Ask to speak with the health legislative assistant.
Tell them to vote yes:

“Hello, My name is __________, and as your constituent, I urge the Representative to vote YES on Representative Anthony Weiner’s HR 676 amendment to the Energy and Commerce Committee’s healthcare bill.”

The best thing ever is

a compliment about your teen aged son :) We went to a grad party last night and someone I haven't seen in a while came up to me to tell me how wonderful Teen son is. He said I should be proud because he is an all around good boy...he is polite and that is rare. He said I've done a good job.
My Mom must have been beaming up in heaven cause if anyone helped to raise him it was Mom. I am so proud of him. I want him to do great things in his life. I want him to be a great person and so far he is doing just that!
Princess on the other hand is a real handful....that little girl has a mouth on her. Sarcasms is just for starters...she is rolling her eyes and putting her hands on her hips now too!!!
Now that my tubes are tied I am so excited!!! No more little ones!!!
We went to a graduation the other day...it was outside...anywho the Momma was there and I told her two down and one to go and we highfived each other! I thought about it. Really where we come from just getting them to graduation is quite an accomplishment. Our little ones aren't so little anymore and we are just about grown up ourselves.
Note to self...After teen son walks across the stage I'll be starting all over with princess WHAT WAS I THINKING! His Grad Party will be at the Holiday Inn

Probably should update my photo

Yeah I'll get to that cause Xmas has passed.
I was on youtube today and watched a video about mexican girls....nearly lalughed my head off! So FUNNY! you have to watch. Sister2 was very offended while Sister1 and I were laughing our arses off. Curly headed friend watched it several times and it's official it is great. Lipliner and no lipstick!!
We are heading to a waterpark this weekend. This should be fun!! Can't Wait to Wear A Swimsuit *rolling my eyes** But I think the kids are going to love it so away we will go.

Advantages to seeing a movie early...

There are less people.

The toilets are clean in the restroom.

No line for popcorn. (you can take your own stuff)

Feet on the seats and no one cares!!!!

It's been awhile

This month has completely flew by. WOW the days are growing closer til I can get out of this hell hole!!
Let's break it down. We've taken the kids to the movies and have realized that it would be best for all involved not to take them again until they are older....10 or 11 years of age. Dvd's are released fairly quickly so we are fine with that.
Trying to get my tubes tied so if you all could say a prayer that this will go through that would be great!!! SO. DO. NOT. want any more childrens!!!
Uncle is having a hard time with his life and I am content with allowing him to do his own thing as long as it doesn't involve me. Can I get an amen?

Princess is still cracking me up. Today we were driving home and she told me "to hurry up cause the clouds were out and they were dark and she was so running out of time to blow her bubbles!" (this is a three years olds nightmare having bubbles and not having the time to blow them outside!)
I tried to cut out carbs then I realized there would be no reason to live without them. I have decided to cut back on them and try to eat smarter. A woman needs her potatoes and chili fries.
Sister1 is SO A SCORPIO that it is hard to keep up. If things aren't dire then she is making some changes and I keep up by keeping all her texts so that I can remember (I'm closer to 40 than 30 now memory is the first to go) what is going on day by day.

Hubby is trying to be nice because last week he told me "You better be nice to me or one day you'll wake up and I'll be gone." I responded "That will not be necessary if you feel that we shouldn't be together I'll be the one to leave I'll gladly take my shit and pick up princess every other weekend, just give me three days notice and I'm outta here." This shocked him and he has been really nice, who knew reverse psychology would work on an adult? Seriously though, all he has to say is the word and my ass is out of here without even trying. No worries!!
Sister3 had some back issues that really bothered me (yes I know she was the one in pain but I can't handle my sisters in pain)and we had to make a 2 a.m. run to the hospital, many pain pills later and she is doing much much better!!! She cracks me up. I've realized that she has a parallel life to that of Jen Lancaster, author extraordinaire, so I gave her a book of hers to read and it still sits on her coffee table...three weeks later. HOWEVER Prince has read a few pages.
I'll blog more later...my fingers are tired!

My BFF is here

Straight from Mississippi....she is here cause her young cousin killed herself. Which meant I went to the funeral services. I knew of her but didn't know her well. I felt horrible for the family and remember the pain. Her sister really broke my heart I do not want to have to deal with that pain ever....my sisters are my heart. For the family; I hope they can make peace with things for themselves.
However it brought home my BFF. She makes things seems okay. I mean hell if she can survive a Jerry Springer life, then maybe I can deal with this house for four more months? Right??? Her now exhusband is now living and reproducing with her step-mom. The woman raised her and is now raising her children. It's pathetic that it ever happened and a complete shock when it did cause I called that whore "mom" too. I mean she yelled at me and made me do dishes just like my BFF. It is disgusting. She showed up at the services and tried to say "hi" to me but I gave her the dirtiest look I could and that woman walked in then walked out before I could gauge a reaction. In my opinion it would have been best that she not show there. It is my BFF's family not hers.

My sister's new dog Pinto is doing fine he is just really mean and probably needs a new home already. He stayed the night at Sister3's house and ate an old chicken bone, probably from last summers BBQ, and got sick in her bed, so she loaded him up and dropped him off at home. Besides he was bothering the Chihuahua and that is a sin. Pinto is home, alone.

Yes I do have a muffin top

and this makes me sad. Damn it being home makes you hungry not to mention that now that I have the time to cook I've been cooking! Then there are lunches with the sisters and they just had to open the damn Dairy Queen two weeks ago, yes there was snow on the ground and that just isn't the way it's suppose to be done here in Michigan. Did I mention on Mondays you get a free Sundae?
Now that I'm staying home and reading the coupons that we get, I've found five free tans at a local tanning place! Just cause I'm Mexican doesn't mean my skin is dark...it does mean that I can tan and usually spare the burn.
My cat needs a new home. For that matter so do I. I hate this house. The water heater hasn't worked in a month so daily it has to be re lit. I know right? WTF? Yes we told our wonderful slumlord and he still hasn't done anything and neither has hubby. I completely expected him to do nothing cause that would require him to give a damn, however he is perfectly willing to hear me bitch and to light the damn thing sometimes four times a day. Who knew you needed hot water so much.
So I asked my sister what she wanted and it seems I have made her think, which is evident by the text messages that I receive. Which of course makes me wonder what I want....so I'm making a list.....
starting with a home. (a real home a place that I love and feel food about coming "home" to, a place where it is welcoming and comforting at the same time, a place that my kids can come home to.)
Just starting this list so this may take some serious blogging time.
New furniture, that I need too. My loveseat should be on the lawn, my chairs need to be kindling and my bed is older than teen son. on these I can wait until I get that first one. Teen son isn't doing well in school!! Call me Shelby but he has to get it together for himself. Really does he want to explain how he attended classes every day and still managed to fail an elective?? Seriously he has to be sleeping in the class...but being Mom looks like I have to go up there and ask the teacher what the hell is going on. This may get ugly.

Broke a nail

Twice!!
First time I get a call from curly headed friend so that she can tell me I may have issues with my insurance...jesushchrist...but it has all worked out. I would have had to go in there all Mexican and stuff on those claims peeps! Not my fault some asshole backed into my mom's car and broke it. Bastards.
Then Sister2 and I had an argument. nail break number two. The reason is because of a certain youtube video. She went overboard and well I lost it. Not a good thing cause we are all we have is each other. Sisterhood is being able to say "You fu*&ked up and then I love you." however I forgot to say the I love you part. My bad.
Sister3 and I have been busy lately. We have so much to do with the little ones. I know that she is really stressed out and that is not a good thing, but she doesn't want to talk about it...I think we are all a bit on edge.
Note to self: make plans for you and sisters to go out and get completely trashed and then if all works out well we should be passed out on curly headed friends' porch!! She needs more drama and something to tell her mom about.
Princess had been extremely funny lately...she "understands" everything.
Funny thing about family is that regardless of the insanity it is the family that keeps you sane. Who else knows everything about you? Even if my gay uncle thinks he is "the most normal uncle we have except the gay part." Yes I laughed my ass off about that.
Sister1 has changed her life!!again, but still she is changing & I think she is moving in the right direction. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

The Break a Nail omen

In my many years of nail wisdom I've found that my nail care can be directly linked to the experiences of the day. If I break a nail something is going to screwed up that day period. Like an old person who can tell you that is going to rain because they can feel it in their bones, yeah well I have that power kinda in my nails. If you need to know call me, I'll check my nails.
This Tuesday is free pancakes at Ihop. **dancing around the room** I am giving everyone the day off to attend this glorious event!!!
Sister1's new pup, Pinto spent the weekend at Sister3's house, only to attempt to escape....which of course led to his first beating cause Sister3 don't play that!! She isn't going to chase blocks down the street in the snow for some new pup just because he is cute!
I took Princess to see that mouse, the Tales of Despereaux, do not take your daughters to watch this mouse!! Actually there is a scene that just killed it!! A young girl, drawn rather ugly and overweight, who works on a pig farm in the mud dreaming of one day living in the castle, 16th century cartoon, and then is sold to the castle as a slave girl for the same price as a swine...only to have the narrator say Careful what you wish for. Yes we walked out of the movie. I wanted to at that very point, but princess wanted to see the mouse however as soon as she stated she was tired we were out of there!!!
I am addicted to Sudoku. I am ashamed but at least I am using my brain, cause being a housewife isn't rocket science.
One of my curly headed friends called me the other day (several times I might add) to tell me she is finally leaving her husband. Several years of abuse and she is going to finally do it! I'll believe it when I see it but I think that final straw has broke. Some women can take a lot more abuse than others, because they make up excuses for men, while some women prefer to cut off the penis. Rose is a rose.
I was all excited the other day cause Sister1 called to say she wanted to go to BINGO...this one has no pimp at the door and is walking distance from my house...and it just never happened. What upsets me is that now some other Bingo person has won my pot. I know I could have gone alone but truth be told I forgot about it until I drove past it yesterday.
I hate snow.

Princess today is Peter Griffin

I know I know, but I do let her watch Family Guy, Brian in so damn funny!!
Let's see we've went to Elmo and that was really cool. Great seats and I think an ex-boyfriends' brother was two row in front of me. I survived.
Hubby is currently addicted to sudoko. He bought a book of the puzzles and I picked it up and did some, that seems to have messed with his brain and he started erasing all the ones I had done. Seriously. I think he gets in these moods when he doesn't work like he should. Like he has to have some type of order and when I happen to do something that makes him like skip a page, he gets all nutso. Next time I'll use a pen. Reminds me that crimes of passion only give you hospital time. A vacation really. I mean they make you meals and deliver them to you in your bed, I don't get that at home. Clean beds and sheets. I can do that!
Teen son has found his groove. He has been helping at sister3's house and I'm glad that he is working. He is hoping for some extra cash to put in his pocket, since he has no job.
This is just another quicky. If curly headed friend really loved me she'd pay my insurance. just saying

Bangs are really hard to take care of

How the hell did I forget about that???
Yes I made it to my Hairdresser's and she chopped me some bangs and I really like them except teen son said they make me look OLD. The nerve of that boy some times.
How about a funny?
Well last night sister1 calls me and has broken up with her man, something she does like once a week. But this phone call was different because she said "This was the last straw!!!!!!" wait for it..... For their two year anniversary he brought her a surprise....a bologna sub from Subway with black olives (she hates), onions(she hates more!) and Italian dressing(she will kill that man). I was laughing so hard my stomach muscles ached. Seems the man can be gay, but bring her a bologna sub and that is the last straw!!!!
Sister3 has an interview today and she looks FABULOUS!!! So that right there means she will get the job.

Oh yeah I hate this house, cause now I think it is haunted.

Judges can be funny!

I woke up early today cause I had jury duty and just like that the alarm went off and I hit snooze, which turned out not to be snooze really and I woke up thirty minutes later than I had planned. Not enough for a perfect morning right?? SO I get together fast and grab my book; thankyoucurlyheadedfriendlikeI'dgosomewhere,whereIknowI'llhavesilenceandnotbringalongabook!, rush to the vehicle get my coffee and jump on the freeway only to remember that it is closed down! So I have to take the long way down there and make it just in time to register for duty. I wouldn't want to be a no show and have to go back down there to pay ten dollars for parking!
I sit next to a nice looking older man, who is reading the newspaper. Then the lady comes on the speaker and says "if you are not a citizen or you are a felon please come to the window because you may not sit on a jury." Yep, nice man gets up never to return. A judge comes into the densely populated room and asks us to do a survey for him because he and his partner are d doing some research on how television habits effect a juror's decision. Like it's not like CSI. Pffffftt. (funny one of the questions was whether or not we believed that Southeastern Michigan had a crime lab that did fingerprints and DNA, seriously. I know we are broke now but didn't our state pay for that kind of stuff before we were broke?)
Then I got called up there! To the forth floor. Where I was a bit scared cause outside of the courtroom were three thug looking teens. I just know they were there scoping out the jurors to help their homie out! Don't ask how I know they were thugs, I was born and bred in the hood, I know what to look for. Thank GOD I didn't walk into their homies courtroom. I was lucky and got some married man who got some teen girl drunk then raped her. Yeah he was guilty as the sky was blue.
The judge was so damn funny! He needs to write a book or do a skit. He said that he babbled a lot and if we couldn't handle it we could lay on his floor and say "judge I can't handle it anymore." I was so close like twice. But he kept me laughing and it wasn't so bad.
Nice to mention it was freaking freezing today, the kind of freezing that your nose hairs freeze and break off! Yep it was that kind of cold.

Jury Duty

I know right?!?!
I have to go downtown Detroit so that they can tell me that I can not sit on a jury. What is the point?? Shouldn't there be some data base somewhere that says people like me can not be on the jury??? I've been jaded by our judicial system. IF scum, killers, thugs and Kwame, can walk the streets free then I am jaded. Everyone is guilty period. I have no time to do a civic duty. I can not be fair. Growing up with three sisters is proof that fair does not exist.

Princess got a new bed. So we went to a few stores and princess found a Cinderella bed with a beautiful canopy, well it's not so beautiful anymore and needless to say I will not be going into that store again.
Me: "Princess get out of that bed"
Princess: "Moooooooooooooooooooom I love it!! It's for princesses!!"
Me: "One....two...."
rip
Me: "Hubby we have to go, ummmmmmmmmmm, look at other stores."

No way in hell am I paying seventy bucks a canopy! They can put it on clearance where some super crafty stay at home mom can buy it for ten bucks and fix it somehow.
She got a beautiful white bed from a nice store.

Pray for me as I sit at the court house for hours.

I survived!

So I have prince and princess and decided to take them both to Chuck E Cheese and we were there for a couple of hours and I survived!!! THere were so many people there it was crazy! Seriously I couldn't believe it you would have thought it was a Saturday weekend. Unemployment means more people get to take there children to Chuck E Cheeses! The photo thing was broke so no pics for the fridge.
It's snowing again and I am sick of it. How much more can we take?
Teen son is at the mall, just hanging out. I remember doing that, but I also thought it was boring.
This is just a quick update.

Dear Hair/hairdresser

I wanted a change so badly that I have decided that after all of this time I need bangs. I've phoned the hairdresser only to be told that I can not be seen today and well I am so impatient that I have decided that bangs are a task that I KNOW I can do on my own. The thought has crossed my mind to ask Sister2 to cut them for me but then I stopped myself by recalling the "skunk incident". (I told her highlighting stuff should not touch the root of my hair, and that I was burning!!!!!!!!!) Hairdresser is SO much in demand that my bangs have to be trimmed by me. Really how hard can it be?? I have a little girl now that I have practiced on her entire three years of life and well she looks fabulous except that one time Sister3 got ahold of her. I know that a mirror will help me keep them straight....right? SO hairdresser if I have to make a night time run to your home banging on the door for you to fix my hair while I am crying that I will never touch scissors again, then so be it.
And hair this is a pre"sorry" for any mistakes that may take place.

Princess update:
She can break dance. I'm thinking she gets her dancing skills from me or one of my sisters, however since I've never seen any of us able to do the stuff she comes up with I've decided that it still comes from my DNA strands cause very few members on her daddy's side can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Prince update:
Prince is going to spend five glorious days and four beautiful nights with his Auntie and cousins. I know we are going to have a blast!!!

Teen son update:
Teen son has some amazing renewed sense of his self and for that I am thankful. As for that Ho that he was with, well her time will come. She still hasn't realized with whom she is dealing and can not stop herself from saying things that she really shouldn't. AIDS is a curse, HO!

Sister3 is traveling to the beautiful warm sin city!!! I'm going to give her four quarters and have to deposit those quarters in a slot machine at exactly 3:15 p.m. EST and pull that handle!!! I just know that this is going to be the winning time and that she can keep have half of the winnings. I am so excited for her this is her first time and maybe she just might come back married!!!! Sister1 & I have both given up on the dream of there ever being a real wedding in the family!

Hubby has figured out how to make free energy!!! This of course after he has determined that there is no such thing as time and that there really is a tie to the big bang theory and GOD cause he has figured it out.....and anything else that the Discovery channel has shown us in the last month or so.

Still no home for me. Just sitting here wasting time, drinking and smoking trying to free my mind.

We did it!!!

Now we have seen history in the making, good history! The history you'll want to tell your grandkids about (Teen son please don't go there yet) I've watched all day long and have onnly cried twice, once when the kids at the NYSE rang the bells and then when Obama gave his speech. This country deserves a chance to be all we say we can be. Now there just may be some hope.
I know that some people are upset about how Bush was treated when he left, but seriously the man is a war criminal, I have no sympathy. He made his bed, now let him lay in it. IF I could have been there!! I would have stood for hours too. I would have bought a sweat shirt and a flag. I am proud to know that we are begining a new era. WE can see the forest without the bush in the way.
Priincess was really excited today too. Last night we made a tee shirt that she wore to school today that said: I <3 Obama. She thought it was the greatest and even said to me, he's finally President Mom?!? Yes he is! Now she has to step up and be the first woman with mixed descent to be President.

Update, cause I have to

Let's see this year has not been great so far. Dad isn't takin care of himself and Sister1 & I had to go out there to argue with him just to take his sugar. It was like arguing with a teenager. He played all kinds of cards and Sister1 called him out!! Bravo! So tomorrow I get to go to the doctors with him....all this while two Uncles had to be taken in to the emergency room. One is still there the other is home getting ready for a homewarming/candle party. Yes I think he is a kindred spirit of my curly headed friend and now that he lives like five minutes from us it may mean more parties. WooHoo. Free booze.
Princess is back in school and fuuny as ever, only thing is that I have my teen son who I'll now refer to as Rocky to deal with. Seems he and his friend had a fist fight and all hell broke out. Now things have settled down and at least Rocky has no body damage. Teen drama was never this bad when I was a teen.
Still praying we get the new home. I've got some paint samples that I've been looking at planning to paint the house. I'll get a team of people and feed them some pizza. hint hint

2009 Finally

Well the mean ass neighbor's house was on fire. Princess and I were in the shower and we heard all the sirens so she of course wanted out and I had to know what was happening. Butt naked she ran to the window to look at the firemen. Please don't do this when you're eighteen!! I got her dressed and she watched them out there the entire time. Now Hubby is taking her outside to tell them thanks. She wants to give them a hug.
SO this New Year is here. Hip HIp Hooray! After 2008 I'm thinking it really can not be anything but better.
I had me some tekillaya rose and watched the ball drop. Princess and hubby had already passed out. They like to sleep a lot. I watched CNN and that Kathy cracks me up!!
Yesterday I watched a movie called The Women. Not one damn man in the entire movie! It was really good and I have to watch it one more time before I take it back.
Sister2 can't wait for us to move back into her hood, not cause she misses me but because she needs a shopping partner. We shop alike, we like to look around for bargains, clearance and all the sales. While on the other hand Sister1 & Sister3 are "get in and get out" as soon as possible shoppers. They seriously go shopping for a pair of pants and get home wiht JUST a pair of pants! I think my Mom made us that way. So that we each had someone to shop with and someone to make us only get what we need.
My teen son is having all sorts of drama. Seems I was right!! *shining my nails!*
Once a ho always a ho. I tried to tell him from this point on he should make it a point to only date outside of his school. We will see if he takes my advice.
