me: what's cha doin, big guy?

dom: no.
and he promptly pushed the start button on the pc.
he knows what makes the light go on or off. he scares me and that first line is what he left behind.
someday i'll ask him to decipher for us. but isn't that cute. mean tail. out of the mouthes of babes.
next on the too funny list was ixxie. it was naptime & i took her sweatshirt off leaving her in her undershirt so she wouldn't get too hot. i noticed her sleeves to her undershirt was pulled up & thought when i put the sweatshirt back on i'd have her hold the sleeves. when she woke up this was our conversation.
me: can you hold your sleeves for me? (i firmed her hand around the sleeve as i said this. she let go.)
me: no baby, hold this like memaw (& i held the end of my sleeve to demonstrate.)
ixxie: oh, yeah, i can do that.
me: ok here comes the shirt.
ixxie: i'm hungry. can we have lunch.
me: sure, what do u want?
ixxie: pizza
me: k, lets get it started.

after we got the oven heated & the pizza in we came back to sit down & fix her hair.

me: how do u want ur hair?
ixxie: ponytails. at least 2 ponytails.
me: k, how about part of ur hair in 2 ponytails up high?
ixxie: yeah, that will be pretty.
me: can u hold these bands for ur hair?
ixxie: can i let go of these yet?

she was still holding her sleeves.
love all my aliens. but its a good thing someone watches over them at all times. where would they be?

One Day At A Time

well, i don't know about u but we're flooded. it takes me 2 hours to get home from work these days cos everyone has to take the same route. i didn't know we were under sea level here but that's what it feels like.
after all the ice & snow, we had a week of rain. not just drizzles but all out rain for days on end. the entire area is under flood watch & lots of homes have had to be evacuated. those people that didn't have electric through the snow storm now doesn't even have homes to worry about. i was joking before about armaggedon but damn! we've got attacks on the u.s., war in iraq, tsunamis, flooding, people killing each other in the streets of our cities, & everyone attacking god being used in the schools & legislation. what next? a man walking down the streets ringing a bell, calling 'bring out ur dead'.
i'm having recurring dreams about dead people chasing me, trying to eat my brains.
anybody a dream interpretor? wonder what that means. hmmmmm.
this past weekend with the kids was a learning experience. and i fear for them as they get older. jammer & i had a conversation about going around something as opposed to through it. the girls were laying on the floor watching a movie & jammer kept walking through them. across the large cushion they were laying on. come on people, we can all see this disaster in the making. he's not 2 years old yet so he's not real steady when it comes to walking over objects. needless to say he wrecked. i said 'did u wreck?' he said, 'yeah. i wrecked'. i asked 'are u hurt'? he said, 'no'. i asked the girls, 'u all okay'? they whined, 'he stepped on me'. i told jammer, 'go around'. he said, 'around?' me. 'yeah around' as i swung my arm in circle to make him understand what i meant. and a direction to go around. i turned to pick up the telephone & when i looked back he was climbing over the coffee table i just circled my arm to show him direction around. all boy. so we had to have a talk about going around.
i put 2 of the girls in the tub. sitting there with them talking & squirting them between washing & conditioning hair. al stands up & declares 'me go potty'. all excited that she's learning the art of potty training i grabbed her up & sat her on the potty. she said, 'no me go potty'. i said 'already, where'? she pointed to the tub. sure enough there were 2 turds floating along merrily. ixxie jumped up & screamed. typical for a little girl but she said, 'it floats'. what will they play next? i'm afraid to ask.
later

Pissing Up A Post

During the last snow storm. We headed over to the in-laws to visit for Christmas. At the corner of the four way stood a whole mess of people. Wondering what they were circled around & not wanting to slide into anyone standing around in the tight little circle we slowed down as we passed. There it was. Right there for everyone to see. A cute little german shepard stuck...stuck to the tree. (Actually, a post but it was made from a tree. I just went for the rhyming thing for a minute.) He had backed his ass up & raised his leg & as soon as he cut loose it froze. And those people were laughing. Poor little doggie. I couldn't help but want to help him. I mean he was literally stuck to the post. I guess someone finally poured warm water on him. When we came home the post was covered in a thin sheet of ice on that side & the dog was gone. That was something I will never forget. Too funny to not share but too sad to laugh at.
Another sight that had to be seen to really appreciate. Although, I didn't get to see it & only found out about it today. My 67 year old father just married his live in girlfriend (i call her widget) that is damn close to my age. On New Years Eve. I just wonder how drunk she had to get him to comply. Regardless. Kinda turns my stomach. And both are just pissing up a post.

Perfection? Not At All

Ha, told you when he got laid off I'd be back alot more. I've been trying to use caps instead of just being lazy & typing. I don't like being perfect all the time & I'm quickly deciding I don't want to continue to use caps. I've read that a few people didn't read some blogs because of not using caps or paragraphs. Sometimes because of stupid things like they couldn't spell or use a structured sentence. I don't really care about all that. I have to pay such close attention at work that I don't make many mistakes. But at home it's so much easier to just whack a post out without worrying about all the rules & regulations. I'd rather be able to concentrate on what I'm saying instead of how correct I look.
Speaking of blogs. How many of you are voting on the blog awards? I didn't nominate anyone but I love to vote. Theres several up for awards that I read. Dooce, Geese A Plenty, Ordinary Morning, Jay's Party & Bitchalious to name a few. If you haven't read them you should give them a look. They make me laugh or cry. Depending on whats going on in their lives. Isn't it funny how you feel like you know these people? I know I've written about this before but it just amazes me that so much is possible with the use of nothing more than a little thing called the World Wide Web. This is the best thing to come along since, I don't know, the shower!!!
Computers have just become so much a part of our everyday lives. I'm surprised when I talk to some people on the phone & ask if they have access to a computer & the web. 'No, I wouldn't know how to work it.' How can you not know how to work it? Everyone can seek & peck on a keyboard & all you have to do is go to a library for access to a computer. I wouldn't know how to act without a pc. I use it for every question I ever have now. Don't know how to make a quilt? Search it on the web. Want to know how many times your name shows up in the paper? Google yourself. Got a question about an ailment? Check outWebMD. Just tooo cool. Now, I can be a knowitall with a kick. Cos I really do know it all in a few seconds on the pc.
And blogging, don't get me started on blogging. I think its so great to have someplace that I can store my thoughts without taking the room on my own hard drive. I didn't think they'd ever do anything as cool as this. I look for blogging to take off much bigger real soon. I can just scan from one blog to the next now & never run out of things to read. Of course, I don't have that much time to do that. I Don't!! I've got a life. Really. And I work. Really.
As a matter of fact. Right now I need to get out of here. I still have to take my shower tonight. Work might appreciate it if I come in more than one day this week.
G'night.

Deeper!! Deeper!!

Did that get your attention? I knew it would. The filthy minds we all have. haha.
Speaking of deeper. How many of you got hit with that snow storm that traveled right through my sanity? I hate snow & ice. I sneered at the prediction cos who believes the weatherman? They are like NEVER right. Right? Who knew that this time they would be on the money? And to be right the week of Christmas with all that snow. A white christmas my ass. We lost power for 2 days. They had shelters set up for people cos they had no electric or heat for days. The ice started falling on Tuesday...all night long. By morning we had 6 inches of ice frozen solid & another 6 inches of snow on top of that. The car was frozen in a huge heap of ice. If you didn't know better you would have thought I had a small hill in the middle of the driveway. The kids used it to sled down. Hell, I only made it to work one day Christmas week. I certainly didn't plan on that. I hate being snowed in. I hate not being able to go to when I want to go. I could have actually made it more than that but I requested Monday off to get my shopping done & of course, Friday, being Christmas Eve & all. Wednesday was really nasty but by Thursday the county had pretty well taken care of our roads. Out here in the country they tend to take care of the worst state roads first. No, it wasn't my end that had so much trouble but the city I work in had a hard time dealing. We got the car dug out by Thursday & all the ice chipped off of the glass. The last of it finally came off after I got to the store & the car warmed up. It was neat. While hubby pumped K1 for us I started scraping on the trunk & hood. I could hit it with the heal of my hand to get it to break apart, then slide it off. A young guy in the lot saw what I was doing & came over to give me a hand. I thought that was sweet for the Christmas cheer.
I think I just heard a first. The first time I've ever heard a child ask if someone would "kill" a toy. When did she start to get annoyed with a musical toy that wouldn't shut up?? They usually just walk away from it & let it run. I really didn't think ever...no, never would I hear her utter those words.
And the tree is still up cos it's my birthday. Happy Birthday to me! I always leave it up through my birthday. Just cos I like the twinkling lights. For my birthday I will always want twinkling lights. If I die on my birthday there better be twinkling lights.
Love ya.
Have a GREAT NEW YEAR!!!

Holiday Cheer?

Merry belated Christmas.. to all of you out there. For me it's not really belated cos I'm still up from Christmas day. All one day for me.. how about you. Do you really ever get on top of things? I do, finally, the day I have to have it all done. Cleaning, shopping, wrapping, visiting...yada, yada... I never find the end of it all. If you do, congratulations.. that's not my life. I have to visit sooo many places & buy for sooo many people that it just can't be fun anymore. It's a whole new job every year that I have no choice but to accomplish. Mine isn't near over yet. I've only really done the thing here with my son & his family. I still have all my family to hit. Mom's, 3 sisters & a brother that all have presents for the kids. a few for me too, i'm sure. but my christmas isn't about me. it's the kids & how to stretch my dollars to cover all the people we have to buy for. always a challenge.
When I was a kid it was all about the birth of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, it's all about how many gifts each one got & how much money was spent. Does anyone remember when the whole family went to church? I know it wasn't just us. I mention church & everyone just looks at me with that 'don't make me go' look. It actually made me feel good. Being with all those people that loved god & was truly glad to celebrate his life. It was good being a kid without the worries & pressures.
I'll be honest. I didn't want to go to church all the time. Mom did though & we didn't have a choice. She made us go every Wednesday & Sunday. And she taught vacation bible school so we had to do the week thing every summer. Of course that could be fun too. You got to make some little craft & color pictures. And I liked learning. Even about god.
so, back to the norm. I didn't really mean to go off on a tangent about god & religion. my memories are probably better than the real thing was or it would still be a popular thing to do.
my female doggie is in heat & guess who's noticed? my bird. he was never shy about getting his rocks off but since the dog has come in heat it seems like he is always jacking off. on any of his toys, his cage cover, the hair brush, my head... it doesn't matter he backs up to whatever & starts rocking. then he gets all puffed out & grabs hold of something & i swear he looks like he'd like a smoke when he's done. of course the dog wants outside a million times a day too. always in hopes of a 'playmate' coming along not leashed that she can play with. damn horny amimals.
christmas was fun with all the kids. my first with the twins & jammers 2nd. last year he didn't really understand it but this year he sure knew how to rip the presents open. his look the whole day was of total awe. he couldn't believe all the new toys & it was obvious all over his face. sweet. we all had a very good day.
i guess i'm gonna go now. i'm kinda distracted. i know theres things i want to tell you but they should probably wait for another day. i can't think of them right now. isn't that the way it goes? seems like i have a million things to say till i sit down & start to type.
one thing before i go is hubby is about to be layed off. this comes every year at this time. i hate it. money gets really tight for awhile but then income tax comes along just in the nick of time. usually. one thing about him being layed off is i will get the pc for my fair share. he stays on all day doing everything he can possibly do so when i get in from work he's totally done & i get it. u'll be hearing much more from me.
until then Happy New Year all. let me know how it goes. i'll be reading u...
later for now..

Stranger Things Have Happened

every day this week, driving anywhere, a flock of birds has crossed my path. flying low & fast all around my car as i'm cruisin' in my rush to get somewhere on time. (never happens, i'm always late) i pray everytime it happens 'please, don't let me hit one'. i hate to hit an animal. i've had that experience twice in my lifetime. both times caused horrible feelings. i cried both times too. once the little boy standing along side the road was calling his dog home. i didn't see the dog coming cos i was already past him when he decided he could run under my car, between the wheels, to get to the boy before my 55mph back tires could get to him. he lost that bet. i didn't kill him. i stopped back every few days bringing him some little treat to check on him. i think he learned to not play with cars in the road but it was a hard lesson for both of us to learn. the second time a ferret did the same thing only he missed the gap all together & hit the side of my car. he broke his leg & i nursed him back to health then found him a new home. one where he couldn't escape & play 'hari-kari' with the cars.
something else thats on the move in my area are the deer. and on these dark country roads that can be tricky. on our way into work we always see deer that didn't make it across. the one thing that i can say about seeing the deer is alot of times u get to see them before they get hit. they're soo beautiful & elegant... when they're not scattered across the road.
did u hear about the guy that sat his lava lamp on the stove & it exploded. a shard of glass pierced his heart. killing him instantly? 24 years old. would u have expected that?
what about the sargeant that was holding a gun on a terrorist in irag. the terrorist grabbed the gun & turned it on the sargeant shooting him in the face. the guy just stood there. the bullet hit his tooth & shot his tooth out of his mouth but stopped the bullet dead.
its almost the weekend & time for the aliens again. they are the strange and unusual as i've heard it said.
g'nite.
