In Case You Live Under a Rock

and didn't realize today is Little Dude's 6th Birthday!

 I cannot believe it.  We have already opened gifts, did lunch of his choice McDonalds Happy meal around here there isn't a whole lot to chose from.  The cupcakes were good, but a fiasco.  Again it's all about where we live.  What he doesn't know yet is we are going to bring him out on the go carts, since it's something he really enjoys.  I think he would be content just playing Lego Harry Potter all day.  I am going to have to arm wrestle him for the darn thing I think. Well back to trying to bribe him to let me play the game again later all!

Happy Birthday to Blog!

Even though my first post to the blog was October 19th Blogoversary says today is the day that changed the bloggity world forever!  I took my blog from the confines of Friends only on MySpace to Blogger and  The Official Blog of Krimsin was born and out there for all to see!

I am so damn fabulos I have to wish my bitch palace blog a happy flippin 1st Birthday. 

I transferred most everything over from myspace, or did I?Upon further review the answer is no caller, no, I didn't.  It was a year and 3 cell phones ago so I can't remember.  We have had some fun ol' blog and I, we have bravely put up 1st rough drafts of my 2 book excerpts, covered some heavy shat, fun events, dumb stuff, and entertained many a people.  Really that's the point.  Abject tomfoolery, the only way to fly!  Most my writing is incoherency and garbled nonsense, when you have smart assperson ADD that happens (like now).  Thanks to all those loyal readers who follow, or those who just peek on from time to time to read as a guilty pleasure.  Blog and I would like to thank you for reading and the comments that make the already rocking blog that much flippin cooler!

7/22/09 Puking, parties, and people who piss me off

Many of my readers know that Corey, my husband was VERY sick earlier this week. Only a handful of times in almost 13 years and never seen him that sick. Not even the Juicy Juice incident of '99 compared to this. His fever was extremely high, and he was yacking constantly. I didn't think as he sequestered himself upstairs that making myself would in anyway impact him, let's just say, I guessed wrong and leave it at that! I went through 2 cans of OUST and a can of Lysol. The puking was so loud I slept downstairs, and brought Logan down to the love seat to sleep so he wouldn't wonder in to the room and get contaminated. Logan talks in his sleep engaging you, so it was not a fun night. I brought the fan from Lo's room to stymie the sounds of Corey running back and forth to the bathroom. He started texting me early in the morning to go get him BRAT diet foods and Sprite. I had little sleep, and a lot to do. Did I mention the morning I am speaking of was Logan's 5th birthday?

Corey avoided all contact with Logan and I that day. He missed gifts, the playing, everything. This included the dinner at Nicks that HE invited the Johnson's too. It went well, but I think Aaron missed Corey there, and Amber wished I wasn't such a shop talker with Weather Service stuff. I don't work there but am very up to date in the goings on, since I have no life of my own. :-) While at Nicks the owner Shaun gave Logan and I free drinks, and Yo-Mos (Sweetened pita bread fried like doughnut balls rolled in cinnamon and sugar and dipped in a cinnamon roll topping). Soo good. Aaron and Amber helped me put down a table cloth plates and napkins all Themed HP. It wasn't a birthday party the way I usually do it, but Logan had fun with Gabe and Drew.

I felt so bad for Amber as she is VERY preggo right now is a gestational diabetics, so she had to choose between Yo-Mo's or cake. The cake was de-lish, Allen's came through where no one else had HP stuff yet, even Hy-Vee. MY only complaint is the wording was to be yellow, and I am pretty sure that's blue.

At about 4:30 our hairdresser who is Shaun's wife Tabitha (Tabby) arrived. I thought it was so nice of her to show up too for some cake! They are both great people who are great to our family.

We wrapped it all up about 5, filled with so many calories and sugar I don't even want to think about it. But it appears by the tomfoolery that a good time was had by the boys!




We headed home to check on Corey. I noticed out to the northwest there were some dark but
pretty clouds. So we decided to get some pictures.


We got in just in time to get out of one of the 2 gifts Mother Nature had for Logan.

At least the new storm door we added this past weekend didn't shatter as the golf ball and quarter size hail hit it.

After Logan was asleep, Mother Nature gave another gift, a full double rainbow!

Now on to the people who piss me off part of the morning. As stated before I had little sleep, had to do everything thing by myself, and tend to Corey who was still ill the last thing someone would want to do is bring up the new aquatics director at the YMCA. Well Gwen the membership lady called to called and said I hadn't worked there in 2 months so I was going to have to pay full price for my membership. I told her I usually take summers off basically 4 years in a row. I then let loose stating I think their, hire of Alyssa was stupid and greedy. I think she is a horrid slacker and told them I thought they should have asked someone in the department before hiring it. She said, "We did we asked Lynn to sit in on the panel." Another name I didn't want to hear. "Yea, she had been there for far less than a year at that point, and is so jacked up on Prozac everything is beautiful to her!" This went on for 10 minutes, and I finally said I had to go, but added for her benefit that when we leave there, it will not be because of her (Gwen) but the lack of proper leadership and in my opinion harebrained ideas and misappropriation of funds. I will be canceling my membership as soon as Logan is in school and go to 24 hour fitness. It felt good to get it off my chest, I wish it would have been Michael or Kim instead I let loose on instead, oh well.

My baby is 5 today!

I cannot believe it's been 5 years! No scary birth story because lets be honest, it wasn't pretty! 5 days of labor, 2 days of botched inductions, and no crowning after 3.5 hours of pushing. No woman not having a C-section should EVER have to have 1.5 hours of stitching post baby! He is worth it though. Watching him change and grow every day has been amazing, but not always easy. Some don't think being a Mother is a fulfilling job, I beg to differ. It's the hardest, most rewarding job you will ever have. Creating a person who will contribute to making the world better someday is amazing.


Please join in and wishing Logan a Happy Birthday, here on this site or on his own blog!

Happy Birthday Carrie!

Stop thinking about what you haven't accomplish and look at what you have done and ARE doing! Fight against the demons, I believe you can. Above all know you are loved, maybe not by the masses,but screw the masses. You have the inner circle that would do anything for you. You are blessed in that regard. Happy Birthday to someone who has known me since I was a kid bossing people around backstage with paint all over my overalls! Love ya girl!

Happy Birthday to Angelique!

Today is HER birthday, so help me in wishing her a happy one!

Today is someone's Birthday...

Happy Birthday Alisha!

Happy Birthday to Kristi!

Someone is another day and year older today!!!

At least it is 60 outside today!

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Krimsin, you have no cell phone!

Yep for my birthday I came to the realization that my Rhythm bit the dust. I was so upset! I lost phone #'s, dates ect. That was like my PDA. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!

I went to the Alltel store and the wicked witch I had told me to essentially screw off, so I loudly told her to have a nice Flippin' day and watch out for the cross winds. She looked at me funny and I maturely retorted, "I hear those cross winds are a bitch when on a broom!."
I went to Walmart and asked for help there, I got the girl to call the Sr. Rep at the store, and get me some help. I went back got another Sr. Sales rep, she was awesome. She said she would give me a crappy loaner and try to sneak past the phone through the what-ever dept. I told her it was much more then the other girl was willing to do. She smiled and said, she had heard. Ha!

Either way it will give Corey 2 weeks to talk himself into getting me a new phone. I love my Rhythm and the FM transmitter on it. But if I HAVE to get a BlackBerry...it better have an MP3 on it! I hope she can sneak it through the WD and I can get another Rhythm, maybe in white, but either way, I miss my phone. So instead of complaining about my car, for the next couple weeks, it will be my phone I am mourning!

Not really the beginning to my birthday I had planned. UGGGGG!!! Topping the fact I had a rough sleeping night starting with right at Midnight Logan coming in complaining of leg pains. I gave him some kids Motrin, and put some Cherry scented Kid's Mentholatum on his knee to assist the inflimation. He was out, but I was bothered, so sleeping was touchy with weird dreams the remainder of the time.

Lety me also take a second to thank the super awesome friends who took the time to drop me a line either via the phone or internet to wish me a Happy Birthday. You are all lights in my life! Thank you.

You SOOO want Logan dating YOUR daughters! ;P

Logan and Corey were talking in the bathroom while Logan was taking his bath this evening.


Corey: What should we get Mom for her birthday, she is no help.
Logan: Something poky, sparkly and pretty.
Corey: Like what?
Logan: Starts with "F," you are supposed to get them for girls you love...
Corey: Well? Sparkly, you mean like earrings or a ring?
Logan: Flowers, Dad honestly!
(By this time I was sitting outside the bathroom door on the floor laughing)
Corey: Should we go to the flower shop and order some?
Logan: Naw, Walmart has some pretty nice flowers. And Roses are poky, so she will like them (What?), let's get yellow, so she will know they were MY idea, not yours.
(At least my son has the flower idea down, Corey has gotten me flowers once in 12 years, and it was when he was so busted about 2 years ago...)

Kid never ceases to amuse the hell out of me!

Logan's party recap

Logan's 1/2 birthday celebration was a HIT!! Thank you, thank you!! The cookie (picture to come later) was adorable! All the teacher's converged on me when I came in to see what I had. They remembered last years bags. I showed Theresa (Lo's teacher from last year), she went nuts for the bags, calling Lo's teacher Sarah over with her aide Esther. Sarah was super happy that there was a craft, the noodle one thay had planned didn't have enough or something. So she was like, ":can we do these in class?" I said sure, they all did them before swim lessons. And were excited about them. Score! I went back to get him after class and Sarah said she had to walk away from the cookie. I don't blame her, Eileen's monster cookies are great, add in the frosting they make, and it is heaven!

Logan and I are watching PSYCH from Friday night then it is naptime.

ONLY 365 days till Corey is 40!

Happy Birthday to my husband today.

and before I forget Austin, Ang's son turns 11 today too. Happy Birthday dude!!!!

Bumps in the road but most shopping done

Christmas shopping is done except one more thing for Corey, the in-laws (not my problem), and Jerry and Mary. My mother is geting coal for being a bitch, I will however send her a card with Logan's picture in it because she is his Grandmother. We got some killer deals at Walmart on Friday, Jammies, and a Wall-e shirt for 4 bucks each for Logan, March of the Penguins for 2 bucks and Ratatoui or however you spell it in a double pack for 10. Corey got me a pair of fleece TinkerBell pants for another 4. 28 dollars all together there. Next to Walgreens for the buy one get one Webkinz we got him 4. Corey again bought them suprised me. Then to the guitar store to talk with Ryan about Corey's guitar. I bought Corey a guitar strap and a new cord book for his birthday since he bought the Webkinz. All and all it was sucessful moring all took about an hour and a half starting at 10am. Yea, I am not the rise and shine type when going to bed at 2AM! Corey's fault really for tossing and turning. I got up at close to 8 with the offspring Corey was up closer to 10. I was happy we decided on what to get Logan when we did. Switching from the Nintendo DS to the Leapster 2 I think was a prudent idea. He still needs that subtle infusing of education to get him going. I kicked myself for not pressing for the LG Scarlet last week when they were sickly low priced, they have since doubled since Thursday night. So now we are looking at a 42 inch Vizio that runs at 120HZ for our bedroom from Sams. Whatever it's Coreys pet project and his parents are giving us 500 toward it for Christmas. I still think Corey is all excited about this year seeing as he paid nothing for my gift, the 140 multi-tool. It was on sale and he had more then enough points on his Cabela's card to buy the difference. I am debating on a strreingwheel cover for him, Nebraska since his wheel isn't leather wrapped from the factory. I have most gifts wrapped, pictures from winkflash back and cute and need to send out some completed gift boxes soon. Minus one who is getting a DVD from the flippin UK. May your 3 kiddos begin spaeking with not only Aussie accents but true british accents while they dance ballet!

I am happy to announce after sitting in the car listening to him ask what one and one equal and so on he is now doing addition flash cards and looking at numbers on the papeem when added with that number. I just keep saying quietly in my head, "Please keep up enthusiasm for accelerated learning through school" over and over again in my head. He's working on adding twos to the numbers 1-20 right now. Ones a bit better then two's, but 0 is 100%. I don't sit and drill my kid throughout the day either just suptle questions from time to time. What hand is left, what side of the brain are you using when you are writing with your left, or right hand. He finds this amusing. He is getting more into the guitar and saddly for my head, drums. Corey will hit a note on his guitar and Logan can most of the time find the same on his. We are thinking of getting him an upgraded 3/4 sized guitar for his birthday. He wants a Washburn like his Daddy. There is no way on Gods green Earth I am buying him a full sized N series guitar. So we went crusing cyber space and found this baby....

It is a 3/4 size so the same as his Horner red one.

The same night we look for those Logan gets a bug up his butt and climbs up to where I keep my rasor and hacks off a couple chunks of hair after his shower. He wasn't even supposed to be back in the bathroom! He was going for the Jason Hawes look. He just looks stupid, and I am making him wear a ball cap till I can get in with Tabby Tuesday to get his sides cut down. He knew I was past pissed though went in got himself dressed and put himself to bed while I was in the bathroom.

Corey's birthday gift arrived today!

We FINALLY went with a Washburn Nuno N61 guitar we found on Ebay. The auction said it had a paint flaw. From the pictures we saw none and took a chance with it only being 350 bucks. The only thing I could see was the colorseemed darker cream then what it should have been. Sure enough when it arrived minutes ago, they painted it the N5-6 colors! Oh well!!!!!!!! I will have pictures to follow. It is upstairs warming up after being shippied from Wisconsin Friday. This is an upgrade from the N2, and cheaper just because the color! It is sweet. He is super excited, now Logan wants the CARS guitar for Christmas, aint happening, maybe his birthday. Ok likely.... :) Pictures later!

Somepawdy cute and furry is 2!

Happy birthday to Sully, a.k.a. Kokomo's Smokey's on Fire. The best damn dog, paws down. Baby pics later today...
