The best times ever

My son really loves me. He is six years old. I came home from work the other night and he runs up to me and says so sweetly, "come here my mama and give me a great big hug!"

Then Saturday we hit the Dollar Tree Store and for just $2 you can get 106 little plastic soldiers (2 bags, one just didn't seem like enough), cowboys and Indians. We built forts out of the hamster hut and tee-pees out of crinkled up paper bags (to look like leather ya know) and strategically placed our men around the kitchen. (the only place we really have to play). I was only slightly taken aback this morning when I went to pour my first cup of coffee and there was a red plastic Indian pointing his arrow straight at my face!

We also bought some scary masks and they never, ever seem to get tired of, or un-surprised, at scaring each other!! They can ring the doorbells and sneak around corners jumping out hollering at each other and jump in fear and then laugh till they pee their pants, for what seems like hours!

We bought some spider web stuff and a bag of bugs, snakes, spiders & skeletons and hung those all up by the front door. Ours looks better than anyone elses!

All in a days work I guess.

A few things I have figured out

If I scrub the tub, and put down my expensive, thick, white, chenille bath mat - the children will wash the black long-haired Australian Shepherd.

Men are so easy to get over

Dropped my barely running car off and the repair shop this morning then walked to the beauty parlor. There is nothing like a pedicure, manicure and a massage from Sven to make my world a great place to live in again!!

It was over a year ago. We only "dated" a week. Sex with an ex for 11 months. Can't beat it. No strings.

If I could just get Sven to leave his boyfriend and come away with me!!Hell, on second thought I will take them both! I have never been a one man woman anyway!

how can one person be so mean to another?

the guy i liked for so long finally had the guts to tell me i was a worthless piece of shit and he didn't give a damn about me.
i knew that.
I have never been rejected so many times, in so many ways...never. ever. it's weird.

I hate men. they blame women, but it is obviously their fault.

all the time. it is their fault.

the men at work are all married but they have no problem saying they would have an affair with me. really. they wanna fuck me. they say so. they say they are married. but it never stopped them before. Its not like i havn't had married men before.

i wonder how much money that is worth. I'd like a nice new apartment and a better car. it's not like i havn't had sex for money before either.
the boss does everything he can to get me alone. I would think he was too busy running the fucking company. he wants me in his office, he wants me in his car. (red corvette)

it would be nice, if just for once, i actually mattered to someone. It is obvious I never will matter to anyone.
not in this life time.
it's too fucking painful.

I think I am better than that, but nobody else seems to.

Positive attitude

My little six year old daughter has the most positive attitude of anyone I ever met. The little darling has a wart on the bottom of her foot. A plantar wart, right? She calls it her flower wart.

I think I would have rather been a horse or a hamster

I am a lamb, what are you?

Squirrels and Kitties and Sprinklers, Oh My!

I believe everyone in our life is a gift to teach us something.
Most of it I havn't figured out yet.
I do know now that chasing squirrels and kitties and running through sprinklers at 5:45 am everymorning really can be a lot of fun!!
Thanks Katie Dog.

School daze

Everyone is off to a great start at school!
Well, except for Brandon. He decided the first day that he was going to quite.
"It takes ALL day, Mommy!"
He is used to kindergarten and their half days and of course playing all day during the summer. Boys just have too many other important things to do like playing astronauts and building roads in the dirt for their trucks.
Then he said, "the teacher said it was a game, but I KNOW it was math!"
Too funny.
He will be fine, not to worry.
Brandy is just too cute with her one front tooth missing and her little blonde pigtails bouncing around. The first one up, she is anxious to visit with her new friends. I mean, anxious to learn!
Lindsey, very shy, is making new friends at her new middle school. There are a couple of girls from her last school so that helps. And thank God!! Boys are still gross.
Haley is signing up for all the sports she can!! She is a real go getter and I know her grades will be good again this year.

We love you all!
Laura and kids

PS I have been offered a permanent position at the job I am currently temping at. It is a great company and I can go into a lot of different areas. I really just want to stay somewhere and retire! retiring is 30 years away, but looking for work sucks!

Back to school!

My six year old son decided after his first day that he wants to quit.
He says to me, "It takes all day, mom!"

Three things kids always say

"Watch this"
"Can I have it?"
"Who farted?"

Who am I kidding?

I have learned as I have grown older that there are very few people I truly enjoy spending time with.
I don't want to take time away from my kids or family except for one very special person. And a few of my best close girl friends, which number totals about 3.
It's nice to know myself this way. Dating around? What's the point? Waste of time.

Our new dog!

I'm not saying a word

I am not going to jinx myself this time and say that I love my job.
Or that I love the building.
Or that the people are really nice.

Or that there is fresh flowers every Monday at my desk.
That architecture can be fun and interesting and that I can learn anything.
I have mostly worked for CPA's, escrow offices and mortgage companies. I never would have applied at an architectural firm. I dont know anything about that kind of thing. But I am an excellent support staff person.
Working for temp agencies has given me the opportunity to build my self confidence in my skills, and meet a lot of really neat people.
But I am not going to say anything because I don't want to jinx it...

He really does hate me

good thing I work in an architectural firm with lots of really good smelling rich men!
good thing I always have lots of invitations for dates.
good thing I know when it is time to start saying yes again...

good thing I did not cry this time...

He really does hate me.

I am such an idiot. No I am not. He has always been giving me the "Come here, go away" routine...I never know which dance we are doing. If I don't write, he says I am giving HIM the could shoulder...

I take pictures with this

It is really old, but it was cheap on Ebay and I am all about saving money!! It makes me feel good. I don't care if all the other mommies and daddies have their shiny fancy new digital cameras. We both get pictures.

Our house is a very, very fine house...

or at least it used to be.We ended up in the neighborhood on our way somewhere else and wanted to see it.
This is one of the places I used to live. It had a great laundry room with lots of shelves, a fountain and pond with fish, a real wood play house with glass windows, four bedrooms, two master baths plus two full baths, a formal living room with a huge fire place and bay window, a family room, cobalt blue tile kitchen counters, a pantry, a small office space in the kitchen, a full office with lots of shelves and glass doors, decking on two sides of the house, six foot wood privacy fence, underground sprinklers with a timer...what else? Two car garage with lots of storage, I had my weights and room to dance...I took tap, jazz and ballet lessons from 1st grade to my first year in college, I miss it.

I was buying it from my dad (he bought it so to "help me out") then he started abusing my kids...it wasn't worth the price of his freakin' behavior problems. He did the same to me and my brother and has over the years still to my kids. He has a furious temper and some sexual problems...Some things never change...

The Engagement Party

Today we were supposed to go to an engagement party for a friend of mine. BBq in a local park - bring the kids- my perfect scene!The older two girls got sick and couldn't go. So just the twins and I went. We left late, then got lost. I always take the scenic route everywhere I go!! We never did find the right party. It was a huge park and there were lots of birthdays, reunions, and even a wedding but we never found our friends.We did however have a really nice time anyway. Surprisingly. I am not one to stop and smell the flowers, but check these pictures out.

dancing in the park

We walked around this park for nearly an hour looking for our friends. It had a paved path that made a large loop around the outside and a few trails through the middle. They found this big "thing" and of course it had to be climbed on. Anyone can tell me what it is?? The best guess gets a prize!! There was also live music so they danced a little, too. On top of this statue thing of course!!
