Mostly Wordless Wednesday

Here is the background on my Droid.  

I fell in love with this picture since the moment I set eyes on it.  It says a lot about who I am as a person. Enjoy.

Ticks Me Off Tuesday-Random

*I am once again going to be blessed to be in the company of my in-laws this weekend.  Not only that, but the weatherman will not be accompanying us on the 3 hour trip back to hillbilly hell I have to take with them. 

He seems to think I would get in a pickle in Lincoln driving thru there.  **NewsFlash**  It would more likely be a speeding ticket.  

                                                                         
Gawd, if your going to backhandedly insult my driving, get shat right!  I won't get lost, I have excellent sense of direction GPS turn by turn on my phone.

*I had to go in for my annual exam.  I know, your soo jealous!  On the positive, I didn't yack in a trash can as I have been known to to after being there.  I was however put on medication for migraines.  As I have been sporting one for the last almost 3 weeks.  It's been awful, there was no letting up with it.

 This med can cause insomnia...umm I have that no biggie.  AND AND AND can lower my inhibitions!  Oh please anyone who knows me knows I have none to begin with.  Fact of the matter the stress of life finally caught up with me.  Now I'm medicated in a 9 month trial of this stuff.  So far I have been almost 50 hours with no pain.  But still medicated.  At least I'm not some zombie.

Or worse some arsehat like this:

*The weatherman is putting out for 2 WCM jobs one local, one in a neighboring FO.  There is a guy that has worked in this office since he was an intern.  Circa '93.  He has NEVER moved, and has the leadership skills of a rabid pitbull.  None.  He's a "do-er."  Weatherman is a people person, who lets others help if they want and doesn't hog the spotlight.  Said guy is a lot like the boss her, a smooth talker and will likely get the job here because his wife won't let him move.  Meaning if it came down to the 2 offices having weatherman and said guy as tied.  Said guy would get to stay and get promoted on pity, while once again our family gets uprooted to another even more hillbilly hellish place. 

Yes, this pisses me off to no end.  Weatherman was told as an intern, "In order to move up in the Weather Circus, you must move out of the office."  As stated above this said other guy has never moved.  Ever.  They should be sending HIS arse to said place if it comes to it.  Let him cut his teeth elsewhere.  His wife's wishes be damned.  It's what weatherman does most times...

*Spammers, I am fortunate I don't get them so much on this page I do however get douche bags and stalkers from time to time.  On the page I created for my son, that I update very infrequently, I keep getting these Asian spammers. 

 It's why I no longer allow instant comments on there.   Thanks a lot you arsehats for causing my xtra work.

*This actually happened 2 Tuesdays ago, but since I am sooo good at letting things go I thought I would share.  I'm still actually fuming about it.  After taking some stellar Vids of Little Dude breaking boards in taekwon do with his hands my SD card corrupted.

 Gone, the whole summer was gone!  All because I had been too busy lazy to upload the vids and pictures.  I tried everything I could before I reformatted it.  Nothing it was D.E.A.D.  I don't understand it.  I must have been abducted by aliens and the use of the teleportation to the mother ship must have had just to much of an electrical current for the card.  It's really the only thing I could think plausibly happened to it...

 I reformatted it, and BOOM it worked fine.  All pics and vids gone though.  I had some awesome vids of LD playing soccer, some great pics of him too.  Damn you aliens, at least there was no probing involved. 

So those are the Random things that really Ticked me off this week.  You are all awarded:

So, your turn to post your gripe(s) below. It's time to let it all hang out here, I'm WAY cheaper than a shrink. *All non personal pics, from Google Images.*

PS If you read last Wednesdays Pervs at the Fair, I did get those snapshots put up.  You can find the link HERE

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!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday - Staring the Peverts at the County Fair-UPDATED

Stupid things make me laugh.  Take for instance the county fair and some of the questionable signs they had up there I'm not even going to comment on some of the people there WOW:

Some country singer I don't do country so I didn't care was about to play and the line was long in hillbilly hell. So it took another day to get this one and the very last pic.

Alright this one isn't so bad, and I REALLY have a dirty mind.  In my defense, this one was right outside the "Beef Barn." 

Come on it's funny.  Little Dude was standing in line yelling "Eat Me!!"  Ah, children just don't get it.  But, I was by this time giggling like a moron. 

Than there is this gem of a sign.  It gets my prever award.  And you should have seen the carny manning it.    Come. On.  If you don't find this mildly funny and perverse are you really my friend?

By the end of the trip to the fair, LD was skipping out of earshot ahead of us chasing some guy on a horse yelling about him being ManTracker.  We watch too much Discovery Channel, I'll fess up.  I went totally gutter after The Weatherman started talking about how many cow girl sluts there were there and how shameful it was.  This was topped off by a bunch of teen boys in 10 gallon hats and shat kickers tripping over a puddle of freaking water.  I believe the words coming out of my mouth were something along the lines of, "I took my milk straight off the cows titty."  Weatherman smirked and just said, "You had to go there huh?  Nice."  He's used to my awesome outbursts after 13 years.

Ticks Me Off Tuesday- Attack of the MIL take 100

Weatherman doesn't do anything by the calender unless it's his.  I on the other hand have even when the dog needs to go to the groomer.  Heck, I have a ringer to pick up LD from school.  I. Rarely. Overlook. Things.

 Weatherman on the other hand...Take for instance last week and the movie LD had been talking about seeing for weeks.  The day before Weatherman tells us there is a meeting at work, can't go.  Sure enough, there is, he didn't put it on the calender like he was supposed to.  Oppsie!  We will forgive the one time mess up.   Then this week we had a guy date to go see How to Train Your Dragon with LD and his hommie. 

 Weatherman and his parents decided that is the day they are coming to visit.  Now mind you they are retired and could come frickin anytime to punish me visit.  But with out consulting me decided THAT day.  Again Weatherman didn't tell me till I asked him today.  I had to ask him!  LD waits till he's good and pissy late in the day, and puts 2 and 2 together that he once again is going to miss the movie because of his fathers inability to plan.  Is he here to face the child's wrath?  Hell no.  Is he going to cancel the play date?  Hell no.  I will have to and explain the conflict in timing in a nice and diplomatic way.  Cuz I'm all diplomatic and crap.

 Weatherman had the audacity to call me from his work after I gave him the heads up on what I was dealing with and said, "Well does he realize MY parents are coming?"  Yes, he realizes YOUR damned mother parents are coming:  

 He didn't care, as he was looking forward to this movie with hommie for over a month!  He is getting to the age he cares more about his friends, because he has them.  He also realizes you didn't even take him into consideration when you decided on the day.  You were out there when I asked hommies Dad about Tuesday.  Thanks a lot weatherman! 

 I type this while my son is acting like its the end of the flipping world.  I hope he takes it out on them Tuesday.  I know, I'll go to hell for that remark, but come on! The MIL has a knack for creating some kind of drama around LD's birthday.

 I'll be sure to start putting in the calender when I have to go to the head, if you can just look, eh, glance at the family calender before planning shat yourself that will affect the family.  Deal?  And for the record I am booked up for the next year on famamily visits from any members of the familyYOUR side.  Thanks.

After these messages...

Or after this week or so, I should be back The weatherman decided to once again put me through hell optimize his leave and got 16 days off.  He's still alive BTW, in case you were wondering.  There was a visit to hell the inlaws and an attempt on my life at the zoo which both weatherman and Little Dude thought funny as all get out thrown in for added fun.  Let the record show I am not a-feared of heights.  But the loss of control, and the idea of falling at 9.8m/s2 scares the living shat out of me.  And it should you too dammit!  So all in all I have had 3 days to recoup, filled with getting stuff ready for a possible birthday party of Little Dude on Wednesday while Weatherman went back to work.  Guess fricking what?!?! He's off for 3 days again, regular time off.  Skippy. 

Random: There is something genetically wrong with Little Dude when Weatherman and I are together.  Little Dude is. from. hell.  I don't know why but I would really love to.  Alone, parenting, he has his moments, but it manageable.  But tag-team parenting, oh HELL no.  So I have been absent for many reasons because there is no time between fighting with them to escape on her and bitch about them.  ;-)

Random: I'm done with Anatomy & Physiology 2 with a B!  Eat that "Professor No one can get a passing grade in my class without taking the lecture course!" 

Random: That cool trip I insisted on for this vacation from weatherman's job didn't happen.  Unless you count visiting his parents.  No Great Wolf, no Stanley, no Adventureland.  Annoyed.

For now, that is all or I will have Weatherman leering over my shoulder going, "What'cha doin'" and honestly, I can't have that.  Take care all and know I have been reading your posts, just not writing. 

I'll Be Back.

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

MrK was really excited about Little Dudes show last Friday.  Here he is on the edge of his seat waiting for the curtain to go up. 

Ticks Me Off Tuesday

I had a fab TMOT set up for this week.  Then Friday came along and we found a set of newborn bunnies has set up shop under the steps of Little Dudes swingset.  There were six.  By Sunday night there were 4.

I at first was blaming Sully for somehow getting through the protective fence we put up and using them as squeak toys.  Not taking into account that mother rabbits are whores by nature, and not good mothers.  She killed those first 2 taking them out of the nest.  Sully was then finding them.  I swear he was even trying to mother them.  He did toss one up in the air but he could have hurt them and didn't.  Very early Monday morning we had a storm roll through with over 80MPH winds and hail.  It was too much for the remaining babies.  So to add to the loss the horrid mother tore the remaining babies to bittles.  The weatherman went out to clean up what was left of them.  I am beside myself, I kind of grew attacked to them.  I had bribed the mother to come back and feed with leaving lettuce and some carrots out for her.  I wish I hadn't, I should have taken them into our house and dropper fed them.  I get the whole circle of life thing, I do.  I even accept it, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.  I would like to find said mother rabbit and the neighbors bee bee gun and use her arse as target practice.  And don't even get me started on the Robin that thinks it needs to nest under the elevated deck.  We thought we were home free when we left to go back to WI in late May.  Sure enough, it was holding out for us to leave.  Nest up and eggs in 4 days.

 Luckily all 4 of her brood made it out of the nest that night.  So a little corner of our yard was a zoo for a while.

Mother Nature really deserves this award this week. 

So, your turn to post your gripe(s) below. It's time to let it all hang out here, I'm WAY cheaper than a shrink.

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

I want this for the house.  It's snarky, and cute all at the same time.  Just. Like. Me. Stop laughing at my comment!

Come on, you know you want one too.  They are at Menards and run 90 bucks.

Weather or Not...here I come.

I know there has been a lot of late nights with some equally early mornings.  Damn convective weather.  In the last 4 days back at work, the weather man has pulled 30 minutes shy of a double shift with only 6 hours of sleep from the 14 hours he worked the night before that.  Today he was called in 1.5 hours early to do media, phones, and the weather stories as they are still playing catch up with this place and that flooding.  Personally, I don't think private people should be allowed to have Dams...

 I think I remember what my husband looks like, you know from pictures and crap. 

I stole some time thanks to Harry Potter to join in my first 2 twitter parties hosted by SupahMom they were quite fun!  She is a hoot check out her blog.  I am also currently doing reviews for both ToothSoap, and Wen by Chaz Dean.  I want to give them both a couple weeks and I will have the results posted on my review blog.

I have been passing the time lot's and lot's of time with Little Dude.  He misses his Dad, it was really bad last night.  I called to see if we could just for a few minutes come to see him.  He didn't get what I meant, "I can call talk to him for a couple minutes on the phone."  WTH!  Are you clueless?  Yes, is the answer if you didn't get the sarcasm.  To fill the void of Dad, I invited over one of his his hommies yesterday.  He got motion sick after playing Cars on the Wii.  They played a total of 3 games, even I don't get motion sick THAT fast.  Personally, I can't watch Little Dude play that either, because I get sick too.  Poor hommie.

 I had to finish off the chess game with LD after the hommie left.  I rewarded myself for the first time in months with a night of reading my kindle after Little Dude went to bed last night.  It was wonderful 2.5 hours of unadulterated quiet bliss.  I plan on doing it again soon, maybe tonight.   This is what summer is supposed to be like, not having to cram in study time for a class over the summer.  A class by the way 5/9 tests in and I have a B in it!!!   But first we have Men in Black which we watched together, and then I took to the kitchen to clean the floors, watch NCIS, all the while having my MP3 player on.  Little Dude was watching the new show on Toon Network  

don't judge me, we had fun. called Unnatural History.  It's from what I understand a kid who has lived all over the world is brought home by his parents to go to school at a high school inside the Smithsonian-like school.  Where he gets in all sorts of different situations that have to do with martial arts and history.  Two things my son totally loves.  For those not knowing Little Dude personally his dream is either to become an astronomer working at the Smithsonian, a librarian because he loves books, or a Movie Star/Rock Star.  Oh did I mention my son is going to be 6 on the 22nd of next month? 

Yesterday, we discovered there was a gigantic spider living in the kitchen.  I told the weatherman.  Needless to say on his to-do list, hunting it down and killing it was not high.  Soo shortly after he left to go in early to work again, the lil bastard showed his beady eyes again.  Close to the ceiling.  So I had to take matters into my own hands.  Standing on a bar stool, that turned I know I have a death wish I took the eco friendly bug killer and put the smack down on that creepy SOB.  Side note: eco friendly as you want, it's still going to wreak to wholly heck when you use over 1/2 the can to knock the dam thing out.  Finally before killing all my brain cells, I got him to the ground.  I then whipped out the fly swatter with extreme prejudice.  After hitting his a few times he didn't die.  So drastic measures had to be taken.  I took a shoe and squished it, not my own mind you, cuz that's just yucky.  So here is who got my wrath:

(actual creepy crawlie)

Ugly SOB isn't it?  Well now, it's a dead SOB too!

I think I am going to retire to my the sanctuary of my Kindle, Little Dude is asleep, and sure enough, the weatherman is still working.  Little Dude has day camp in the morning and all week this week, to get the "cast" ready for the show on Friday evening, Lord knows they would be sad without their little billboard to not promote the program.  Funny thing is, he loves every flipping minute of it.  Put a camera on him, snap a photo, or put him on stage, he'll make it his home.  I guess some things are genetic.  Plus this week, we have 2 baseball games, tae kwon do, Sully the Havanese is going in for a haircut, get to the gym at least 3 times, I have to find time to study, call and reserve times for swimming lessons if there is still times available, AND find out when LD and his hommie can go see Toy Story 3.

(All pics via Google images less personal ones)
Don't judge, I know over 1/2 of you are going to go see it too, "for the kids sake" of course...

 I may withhold Ticks Me Off Tuesday, I have to see how Sully's hair turns out, if you get my drift.  Of course I am sure something will just piss me off to no end before Tuesday too, or I will remember something.  Lol
