Getting Close

Almost LAN time again and the excitement is building.  I'm NOT looking forward to the drive, but I am looking forward to the fun.  I have a 4 hour drive on Wednesday night to Mississippi where my sister lives (She is keeping our daughter and my dog for us), then I have a 9 hour drive on Thursday to Chicago.  I'm sure it's not as bad as some of the rest of you.  But that long in a car by myself...I hope Smoke has a "relaxing smoke" ready for me when I get there lol   I am real tense after long drives, because I can't stand the way most people drive lol  I want to get where I am going and get out of the car...not drive 10-15 mph under the speed limit and take an extra 2 hours in the car lol

Time to make  a check list for what to bring; XBox 360 Elite, 2 controlers, laptop, 2 changes of comfey clothes, something nice in case we go out for dinner, hair brush, Chi iron, tooth brush, shampoo & conditioner, camera, oh yeah...Halo 3 and excedrin.

I'm sure I will think of more things later, and I'm sure I will forget a few things as well lol

Hope to see a lot of you there!

Nasty wake up

My daughter was nice enough to let me sleep in this morning, she has gotten better over the past year.  I woke up around 8:30 and went to take the dog out to go potty. 

The rank smell on my porch almost made me fall over.  Smoke has a lot of outside cats and kittens (about 15), and I guess the kittens decided the old porch table (now taken apart and lying upside down under a mini trampolene) was a good place to do their "business".  It smelt worse than anything I can think of!  Me, being the nice wife that I am, cleaned it all up so Smoke wouldn't have to deal with it when he gets home.  It took me over an hour to scrub the porch and clean up all the shit.  Prolly wouldn't have been so bad, but Saturday Smoke threw out the left over steak bits from Friday night and they were drenched in A1 sauce. The big cats carried all the steak to the front porch and all the kittens joined in...never feed cats steak with A1 sause! lol  At least now my porch is nice and clean, and I took the old table off. 

Now I just need a trank gun to catch some of these cats and get rid of them.  It wouldn't be so bad if they were fixed but only 1 of them is.  It's not that we don't want to get them fixed it's that you can't catch some of them.  We have one we call "Evil", I used a live trap to catch her and I carried her off 6-8 miles from our house...had to cross a bridge (Arkansas White River) into the next county where I droped her off.  Two days later that bitch was right back on my porch, and now she's pregnant again.  It's not that we pick up cats and bring them home, people just drop them off out here because it's the middle of nowhere surrounded by lots of woods.  We tried calling the humane society to see if they could do something about all the drop offs and they said all they can do is come out and exterminate them WTF?  I thought they could at least catch them and "fix" them.  But no, they just wanted to kill them. BASTARDS.  So we've decided to fork out the money to get the 5 kittens and their mom (nice cat) fixed and then just get rid of the rest of them IF we can catch them.

WTF 7:30 am wake up call

I was so wanting to sleep in today since it is my birthday.  But NO, my dad calls me at 7:30 to bitch about my soon to be ex-brother-in-law.  Even than isn't going to get me down today, I am going to party my heart out tonight...Margaritas, lots and lots of Margaritas.  

Smoke and I might go see the Will Smith Movie "Hancock"; I hope so, it looks like a good movie.  I have no other plans in mind, I just want to have a nice relaxing birthday and hope no more of my family bothers me!

Family

I know that sometimes your family members can do something stupid or just piss you off. But COME ON, I swear I had to have been switched at birth.  My oldest sister is sitting in jail right now because of a two year old DWI or something.  Failure to appear $1000.00 second failure to appear $250.00 somehow she cleared up the DWI but is being held for some other charge but they can't tell me what it is because it's so old she girl on the phone can't find the charge. 

My sister works for my in-laws in their shipping department (despite me telling them NOT to hire her) and the company is closed this week for summer vacation.  I guess her dumb ass thought she'd be abe to turn herself in and get it all fixed up before vacation is over (not smart enough to have the money she owes).  Then my dad calls and asks me if Smoke and I are going to bail her out. I said hell no, we just kept her from going to jail last week and then she goes and turns herself into a diff jail 4 hours away for a charge from over 2 years ago.  I swear she must be on some hard core drugs or something.  She is now going to lose her house and her soon to be ex-husband is going to take all 3 kids. 

I won't even get started on my dumb ass dad or my retarded egg donor (never earned the right to be called mom).  I wish I could just move somewhere and never let them know where I am or how to reach me.  Is that bad?  The only family I have that I don't have the urge to just drop kick is my sister Andrea (3 years older) and I guess my sister Kalan (only 3 years old).  What even more fucked up is it can't be blamed on the fact that we're from Arkansas because we're not.  I need a rocket launcher and a shit load of sticky's!

Rant

My week with my daughter at soccer camp...It wouldn't have been so bad if the other parents would have stayed to look after their own children.  Instead I some how ended up looking after 5-6 girls each day.  Each day I was taking a cooler and 24 bottles of water because most of the kids weren't given enough water to drink for the day.  Today was the last day and it started out fine, then the two drama queen sisters showed up (their mom is the assistant coach during the school year).  She drops them off and just leaves, then they start their "I'm better than you so you need to baby me" act. 

At break time they all went to get some water, then the coach called them and said it was time to get back on the field.  One girl on the team accidentally hit the water bottle of the younger sister (drama queen #1)...She jumped up and started screaming at my daughter (she was on the field already when it happened).  Screaming how she hates to get wet and how she hates that Jesse (my daughter) just did that.  I calmly explained to her that Jesse didn't do it and it was just an accident.  She then threw a temper tantrum and ran off behind all the cars screaming.

We finally got her to calm down and play with the rest of the kids.  At the end of the day there was an awards ceremony and then one family bought pizza for all the kids.  My daughter offered to go get pizza for the older sister (drama queen #2) and she started screaming how sick and disgusting Jesse is for saying the word pizza.  She then ran off crying and screaming all because Jesse offered to go get her some food.  What kind of parents do these two have?  I've seen their mom yell at them for crying when they get hurt but she will let them throw a fit for no reason.  The youngest one had a temper tantrum at least once a day all week long, and her mom was there for 3 of them and she did nothing.  At one point her mom was hiding behind the rest of the parent because she didn't want her daughter to know she was there, said she would expect her to help her.  What a bitch!  I know I'm not the best mom in the world, but at least I discipline my child when she has done something wrong and I take care of her when she is hurt.  What kind of parent would I be if I didn't!

Ok I will calm down now and stop with the rant lol
