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.
