A reminder for the men

There are few of you out there whom I feel need to be reminded of the rules, you know who you are......

The Rules

1. The female always makes the rules
2.The rules are subject to change at any time without notification
3.No male can possibly know all the rules
4.If the female suspects that the male knows all the rules, she must immediately change some of the rules
5.The female is NEVER wrong
6.If the female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding which is a direct result of something the male did or said wrong.
7.If rule #6 applies, the male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding
8.The female can change her mind at any given point.
9.The male must never change his mind without written consent from the female.
10.The female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
11.The male must remain calm at all times, unless the female wants him to be angry or upset.
12.The femalemust under no circumstances let the male know whether or not she wants him to be angry or upset.
13.Any attempt to document the rules by a male could result in bodily harm.
14.If the female has PMS, all rules are null and void.

Starry Night

Growing up I was always enjoyed looking at the stars. I always tried to find different clusters, but could never find anything but the big & little dipper. Well since we have moved to the new house, my intrest has really grown, especially since a really good friend of ours has actually showed me a couple of things. Well this friend, lets call himmmmmmmm...."Dave", has a pretty cool telescope, we have talked about him bringing it out. Well I think it is time for "Dave" to bring it out and teach me some more!!


Hint,hint.........

Where I have been......

World Series Cardinals

WOW! What an intense game last night. My stomach was so upset, I thought I would get sick. That was some extremely stressful baseball!! Happy Birthday to me!! Watching the end after we won really reminded me of Porter & Sutter in 1982. Molina ran out (like Porter) and jumped onto Wainwright. My big fear now is that the Tigers will sweep us like the Red Sox did. At least we can say........We made it!!

GO CARDS!!!

I am so lucky!!

I was looking at some pictures from past events this evening on the drunkfest photo page, I just couldn't stop laughing and thinking about how lucky I am!

LOOK AT MY MAN!!!

I feel really bad for all you women out there who are not as lucky as me! I think he is a keeper!

Happy Birthday Diana & Mindy!!

(Jack is also 1 today)

Always curious

Most of you have seen this house, it is on Hwy N, seems like it is always for sale. I don't think it is a great looking house, but like most people I have always been curious about it, I would love to see the inside. It drives me crazy wondering what such a lllllllooooooooonnnnnngggggg house looks like on the inside. I found it and have looked at the pictures.

Look at that lovely pink ceiling fan in the master bedroom! I know you all want one of those! That is what everyone is getting from me for Christmas........unless of course you would rather have a goat!!!

This is why the house is so long! Now I want that house just because of the pool!!

So if you would like to see more stuff in this house.(you know you want to, everyone is curious about this house) Here is the MLS # 631916, just click on the link and enter the number!! Lllllloooooonnnnnggggg house

Fall

Another reason I love the fall is because the leaves are on the ground and you can hear things moving in the woods. Last night I was sitting out on the patio having a smoke before I went to bed, when I heard some noise, so I was looking in that direction, when a deer came out. I stood up and was watching it, I got so excited to see deer on our property that my heart started going BAM BAM BAM! I stood there for almost 30 minutes watching 3 adults and 2 babies. They eventually walked over behind Bills workshop. That was so cool, especially since they were so close.

I didn't realize how much Kenny has grown over the summer, he had a huge growing spurt. In late spring/early summer he was wearing size 7 jeans, well now he is wearing size 9!! He went straight past all the size 8's he had! I thought he would be set for fall since he had about 15 pairs of jeans all size 7 & 8's. But nnnoooooooo!! Now he has 2 pair that fit him!! Darn kids why do they have to grow so fast!!

A little more this & very little that.......

I can forsee already the fights that Bill & Kayla are going to have. Just because she is a girl and does what girls do, and it drives him crazy. For example: Yesterday after school Kayla went up to Taylors house after school, she was there for around 2 hours. Well when she came home she wasn't home 15 minutes when Taylor called. So Kayla took the phone to her room, which first off Bill couldn't understand why they were on the phone since Kayla just got home from Taylors house. I told him, that is what girls do. So after about 20 minutes or so on the phone, it was driving him insane. So he went to Kaylas room, and told her it was time to get off the phone. He comes back with the phone talking about how Kayla had the phone on speaker and laying on her bed, talking to Taylor, while Kayla was sitting on the floor coloring. I just laughed because again that is what girls do. I told him that is why girls always want there own phone line, also that it was not costing him anymore on the phone bill for her to sit there and talk. Personally I don't see what the big deal was........It's not like he was going to use it!!


Also yesterday I dropped my car off at the Ford dealership to find out what was going on with it. I had to get a rental. Well Ford called me at work and said that the rear brakes went out and it is not covered under the warranty, it is going to cost $199.00 for them to fix it, which includes labor, parts and the rental. I thought not bad, but still had to call Bill first. He says no way is he paying that much, he will do it himself, which of course caused me to panic!! Bill is a VERY handy guy, but a mechanic he is NOT!! So anyway I call back Ford and tell them that they can't fix it, it is to much money. Awhile later the dealership calls again, they are going to go ahead and fix it because it makes no sense why the rear brakes went out after only 16,000 miles. They said they should see wear on the front brakes but not enough to replace after that amount of miles, so the back ones shouldn't be that bad. But since this is not a warranty repair, I will have to pay for the rental, COOL! I can deal with that. This is the part that gets me:

When I bought my car I asked for a smokers package, which is a ashtray and cigarette lighter, I was told that you can only get that when you order your car from the factory. Well with my rental I was informed that there is to be NO SMOKING in the car, I had to sign off that if I smoked in the car they would charge me $1000.00. The rental had a ashtray and cigarette lighter in it!! I asked them if they had a smoking car, they said no all their cars are non smoking. I think that if I am paying for it I should be allowed to smoke in it also they should have cars that are for smokers. I know I am complaining about a bad subject with some people, but still I have rights also, I can understand not smoking in restaurants, but I think some of the rules that are coming about these days are just down right stupid! I could so go into this way more but this is not a political blog........Speaking of politics......

Mark Foley is a sick, sick man!!!!

So anyway I will be picking up my car this morning and I am going to chain smoke in it because I can!! (Not really)

A little this & a little that

Tonights post is about several things:

When I first found our property it was spring and everything was so green and pretty that I fell in love, well this morning when I was sitting outside shortly after the sun rose that I realized that spring was nothing....Fall is beautiful....I love the fall. Here are some pics.



































This next one I don't have much to say about other than I thought it was pretty cute!






















Now this totally cracks me up!!! My husband who has NO Hair, thinks he needs to condition it! I refuse to let him use my products because they cost to much to let him waste on his bald head, this is what I found in the cabinet. It just totally cracks me up.






















Last but least!!

Remember Screech from Saved by the bell.........This is very disturbing......He has starred in a porn!!!! Titled..............Saved by the smell!!! That just turns my stomach!!!

A start to decorating.......

Saturday I finally bought something pretty for my kitchen. I wanted to buy rugs also, but Kenny & I just couldn't decide on anything that we really liked, so I guess I will keep looking. I am just happy to finally get something pretty in there!!

The new curtain

The new towels

What it is

The picture below is a picture taken when we were moving out of the old house, it is under Bill's fridge & behind the trash can. Look at all the beer caps DIANA & DAVE!!

Do you know?

Do you know what this is a picture of? Mike & Diana are not allowed to guess, because they are already know. Also for you smartass's out there, I already know it is trash!!

HA! Are you freakin kidding me!!!

Below is a copy of an email I received from my MIL, it is supposed to be an actual article from Good Housekeeping in 1955, but snopes says it is fake. Either way I thought it was interesting and very funny. There is no way, no how that this would ever be me!!! Could you just imagine, I am sitting here laughing & thinking about it.

*Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

*Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

*Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

*Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

*During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

*Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

*Be happy to see him.

*Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

*Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

*Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

*Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

*Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

*Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

*Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

*A good wife always knows her place.

Redneck Romance

Last night I was flipping channels and saw that one my favorite all time movies was on, so of course I had to watch, it is one of those movies I can watch over & over again. The American President. Well I didn't that Bill also loves that movie. I was a little shocked cause after all it is a romantic movie or a chick flick. So we both reclined the recliners on the LOVEseat and cuddle together and watched the movie together, it was great cause everyone knows that Bill is not that kind of guy.

Also we have 2 new members of our family:

Their names are Franklin & Angel, here are some pics of them. They were born on June 23, 2006.

We are talking about getting a pot bellied pig next!!

Things are changing

Things are about to change, actually they already have started. It started tonight with the snake, I had did some research and bullsnakes DO NOT make very good pets. So I had made the decision that we would set him free. So when we went to set him free, we found out that he had already escaped. The funny part about this is that he has been staying in Bill's workshop. So as you can guess Bill was having a fit. Do I mean a fit!! SOOOOO......Mom had to save dads life from the big bad snake. I found him and picked him up and let him go. Bill is happy again. When doing research on snakes last night I did discover that a great beginner snake is a corn snake. They are supposed to be real docile. So sometime next year I will get the kids a cornsnake. Bill isn't to excited about it, but I figured it would also be a good learning expeirence for him also.

Another thing that is about to change is that the kids will no longer as of this weekend have satellite in their rooms, let me tell you they are not very happy about it. I told them that they should be thankful to even have a TV in their rooms!


Something is bothering me:
A person whom I care for posted on their blog finally, and this was the post.

Who your true friends are
I guess its a fact of life. When you break up with someone that you have dated for a LONG time, it is at that point and time that you find out who your true friends are.
You date someone for 9 years. YOU introduce this person to a group of people. You become friends with the same group for at least 6 of those 9 years. You do EVERYTHING with that group and I mean EVERYTHING.
6 years later you find yourself no longer with the person you were dating/living with while becoming such great friends with this group. The group that you thought were your friends suddenly stop calling you, asking you to hang out etc etc.
When He and I first broke up, the one thing I didnt think I would lose,out of everything else Ive lost due to this break-up, would be my friendship with this group. I never thought in a million years that I would become the outcast.
Apparently, I was wrong, thats what I get for thinking.
Its amazing how people can take sides so quickly and believe everything the other person is/has been telling them.
It amazes me that it can be thought that he had no fault whatsoever in this break-up. That Im the reason for this happening. I am completely at fault, to blame. That he is perfect (Which he even admitted to me that he thinks he is).
It amazes me that these people are being told things that are completely untrue, however, since he is telling them, theyre taking it as gospel.
This hurts so much and makes me cry often, but...the one thing I have found out of this realization, is that there is ONE person, out of the whole group, who is truly my friend.... And for that I want to thank her. I know she knows who she is.
A bit of advice to everyone out there that are friends with a couple that are going through a breakup: There is 2 sides to every story. Don't judge until you've heard both sides and know all the facts. Don't take sides. If you were true friends before, you should still be true friends after.
That's all I have to say about that.


Someone awhile back told me about seasonal friends. What is a seasonal friend you ask. Well they are your friend only because they have to be, like saying because of a marriage, or a relationship. But when that marriage or relationship ends then so does the friendship, they were only your friend because they had to be and it was for the season of the relationship. Well.....

I AM NOT A SEASONAL FRIEND!!!

I also hope that I don't have any seasonal friends. I am very hurt by this post. I have included this person on several occasions, but have been turned down because of the other person will be there. Don't blame me if you are trying to oust yourself. I have true feelings for you if you are reading this! Please don't be a seasonal friend!

Now I am going to go to bed and irratate my husband!!! Goodnight!

Petting Zoo

I feel like we have the startings of a petting zoo. Maybe we should start charging people to come over!(actually a great idea) hehe!


The old man




The baby



The girls

The 3 footed turtle

The baby bullsnake

Next summer Bill wants to have a pond dug, so if we get that then I want some ducks, so I guess we will have some ducklings in our future.

TV

Paula posted recently about bumper stickers, and Jennifer made a comment about bumper stickers with cuss words in them that she doesn't want her children reading. Well this is something that I am really sick of my children hearing about. Erectile Dysfunction!!! I am so tired of hearing those what seems like 10 minute commercials! The government talks about children watching violent shows & movies on TV, which in turn causes the children to shoot and kill their parents, but it is ok to hear the TV talking about sex, orgasm & erectile dysfunction! I get so mad when those commercials come on. How more violent can you get than watching Wile E. Coyote try to blow up the Road Runner every week, that is a show that EVERYONE used to watch when I was growing up and I don't remember hearing about anyone killing their parents because of that show. Also it isn't so much the TV & music, it is the parents not teaching their children & just letting them do what they want.

I have to go to work now I guess I will stop compaining!! :D

Have a great day!!

"Crikey!"

So I saw that one of favorite TV charaters died. It was very sad to hear. I did not ever think he would die from a stingray, I had always said "One of these days he will die from a croc" guess I was wrong. He will be missed.

T.G.I.F

Need I say more! I do have to work for a little while tomorrow, but I couldn't say no to really good money for a short time period. But thankfully it is a 3 day weekend. This has been a REALLY busy work week for me, and I am very thankful that it is almost over!!

The new babies are doing good considering they have to deal with Kenny! They grow very fast, I can tell a difference in them already in just a few days. We also put in a cat door for the Zues, that has been interesting trying to teach him to use it, I think the little flap needs to disappear!

Have a great weekend!!!!
