Happy Holidays

Wow, I've been a long time gone~ that's a song btw~
So much has happened don't know where to start.
Thanksgiving was great and I had the opportunity to reaffirm the fact that I'm a pig.
Christmas time is stressful, kids want everything and I don't have a pot to piss in.
Two of my girls want Nintendo DSI's. They have a camera and they hold music and play games. I told all the girls this year will be tight so they could either have one expensive gift or lots of little shit. My middle girl said "Mom, you just get me lots of stuff and I'll ask Santa for the DSI"... she's 12 ~ come on
I haven't got them yet but I will if I can manage to pull the money out my ass.
The oldest wants a pair of UGGs for Christmas. They are boots, very special boots according to her and she just has to have them, because everyone else does. "Okay" I say, till I bout shit when I seen the prices.Who woulda thought that a simple pair of boots could cost $200.00, and what kinda dumb-asses people actually pay it. What are they lined with gold? The only difference I can see from the $15 pair at dollar general is the fact that they say Ugg on the back of them. So after I failed at finding little tags that say UGG, I scoured the Internet and found, not one but two pairs for $65 bucks a piece, brand new, who's the thrifty shopper huh? Still an outrageous sum for a name but, now I can give my twelve year old a pair too, before she starts bitching for um. One step ahead like always that's me. Here's a "LINK" to the page if anyone is interested.
My oldest is finally out of drama class... but only at school, she saves the real drama for Mama. She has been suffering from a long line of diseases, the first of which, fortunately only befalls teen girls, it's called " Bitchitis" and YES, it's contagious~ My 12 yr. old has been showing signs of it too. Hopefully a cure is in the making. I deal with this affliction by holding my breath and counting to 10, sometimes 50.
Another thing on the menu for teens is~ Acne!~ yuk~ we have been trying to cure it with aloe, (the plant) we cut off pieces of the plant and rub it on her face, it's actually working well so far. It's slimy as hell though, and my daughter complains every night~ funny shit. I eventually found aloe gel not as messy and not as funny but she likes it better. And here's that "LINK" (getting good at that huh)
The worst of all the teen epidemics is "BOYS"~ double yuk~ I've changed my mind about fifteen being old enough for a boyfriend. The final straw in changing my mind was the poor tree that, my hysterical, cussing daughter beat to death with a baseball bat. I got there just in time to save the bat. She's sure come along way from that bright eyed sweety who wouldn't hurt a fly, now she wants to kill everything in sight..... All I've seen this year are tears and tantrums. My words of wisdom in these times are buck up, shut up and get over it "aah it'll be okay baby." When does this shit end I ask you? And, no, I don't have a "LINK" for that :(

Happy Holidays

Kitchen Drama

Okay, wow I have been busy. We have finally began the kitchen remodel. Woo ho!!!
It's about done and it only took about a year. We began the demo 6 or seven months ago, tearing out walls (with only minor injuries and lots of laughs). Then we got the sagging floor fixed, which meant tearing out the linoleum and beefing up the floor joises then laying down my new plywood flooring. What a statement right? No rednecks live here!
Then we built us sum new walls. My brother had a friend, with a bad ass fast screw gun, he helped us put new drywall on the ceilings for free. Free is always nice. What wasn't nice is when he got a little screw happy with his cool screw machine and ended up making three big holes in the ceiling not to mention the 500 screws up there that didn't need to be there, that amounted to about 50 extra screws for each beer he guzzled, not bad I guess.... considering..... did I mention he was free. Then after awhile (months) we found a guy willing to do the mudding and taping for only $200.00. That's pretty cheap, the price included the walls and ceiling in the kitchen and the ceiling in the living room and the hall way, plus we only had to pay him $100.00 up front cus he had to go to jail and made us a deal to finish paying him with $20 a week in commissary money.... cool hu and not redneck at all :) He had to go to jail due to being caught with recreational paraphernalia which went a long way in explaining why he took so many recreational trips in our woods.... I just called um 'Breaks'
He even textured the ceiling, which I liked just fine, but there were several lines showing. It was not his fault, he did the best he could with what he had to work with and the short amount of time he had to do it all in before he had to go to jail.
There were a few areas in the kitchen he didn't have time to get to. I was just gonna do them myself, since,I'm pretty handy with a knife. But, I was at work and talkin' to a friend who happens to have a boyfriend who is very handy with a knife and he volunteered to come over and finish it (FOR FREE) wooho. I told him about the few lines that show on the ceiling and he very nicely included fixing that into the price.... wo ho... He came over and fixed everything in three days, he was like magic... like free magic....my walls are so smooth.

The ceilings had to be re-textured after he fixed it and it is now just gorgeous, the texture is like giant flowers.

We primed everything the next day. The paint colors have been chosen for months, green for the kitchen and brown for the living room (my favorite colors). So there I was, giddy with ready to paint excitement. We went to Wal-mart to buy the paint and ended up getting the only paint guy who didn't know fart about paint. He told me to use flat for the kitchen.. dumbass....then he proceeded to f*ck up both colors. I was pissed and seeing red. My oldest though, was seeing something else and whispered that she wished his jeans were tighter...UGH.. leave it to a boy crazy teenager to see the jeans he's wearing and miss the obvious stupid genes he possessed. After about four tries and lots of cussing, we storm out Wal-mart and go home, with my finally right paint.
The feelings I was trying to convey with my paint choices were warm and cozy for the living room, wanna grab a blanket, lay on the couch and cuddle. Bright and cheery for the kitchen, when you walk into the kitchen I wanted to feel a hello day.. good morning, morning kinda feeling. The colors had to blend well together cus the rooms are connected. Well, what I ended up with was a screaming green kitchen that kinda hurt your eyes and a dark gloomy brown that was depressing.
I wanted to cry :(..... We took pictures and the hubs took me to Sermin Williams.... OMG they are great, we went one shade lighter for the kitchen and the paint guy actually knew his ass from a hole in the ground. He also told me how to fix the brown for the living room, he even sold me the paint at the same price I paid for it at Wal-mart.....and.... his jeans were plenty tight :)
We came home and repainted the kitchen and it's beautiful with all the bright and cheery feelings and none of the eye pain.I did keep a little of the first scream green as a couple of stripes to better define the awesome foe wainscoted coat rack I designed, using one by fours and one by twos and some quarter round.---->>>>>>

For the living room I took a gallon of the gloomy brown, poured it into a five gallon bucket and started mixing in white until I had a color I loved. It is now so damn cozy we can't stay off the couch. The colors look great together and I'm very happy with the results.

We hung the new T.V. that's been in the box for five months, the hubs is in hog heaven.

My moms boss gave her a bunch of furniture that he didn't need and we traded her our old t.v. and entertainment center for a very nice sectional. It looks great in the living room, and obviously seats enuff:)

All we need now is a big fat lazy boy chair for my big man to watch his new 50 inch flat screen plasma t.v. on.
I have been having fun redecorating everything and surprisingly I have lots of cool shit that all just kinda goes with everything. We have chosen the flooring we're going to go with, laminate floating hardwood, we have already started saving for it. We should be able to start it about the middle of next month. We're gonna rip out the stinky carpeting sometime this week to get ready for the new floor. We need to figure something out for a backsplash in the kitchen, maybe ceramic tiles mixed with some glass tiles, maybe some foe stainless steel or maybe I'll bust up some pretty plates and make them the back splash, I don't know yet. Everything is coming together finally and it feels great to see progress.
Well, I'll keep you updated, and take lots of pictures.

Anyone have ideas for a cute backsplash let me know.

Redneck Vacation

It's been awhile again, apparently it's gonna be a thing with me, so ya might as well get used to it. We had a nice time on vacation. I have to say we were met with disappointments from the start though. The resort we stayed at turned out to be NOT a resort but a cabin on main street along with a couple of other cabins right next door.
The cabin itself was cute and comfy and the view of the lake was gorgeous. Of course the first thing the girls wanted to do was swim but the owner said that we could swim in the lake but we had to wash of as soon as we got out or we'd get swimmers itch. Then he went on to explain what that is- he said "Well.. it's all these damn ducks see,and the seagulls, they shit in the lake then the f*ckin' clams do too, so when you swim in that shit it makes ya itch." We thanked him for the information and the girls laughed and liked him instantly.
The owner made things out of junk he welds stuff together to make his stuff.
He made this spider to scare away the ducks and sea gulls, he put it in our yard and asked the girls not to feed the ducks or the sea gulls so we amused ourselves watching the ducks and seagulls investigate this new thing and we laughed when they decided to make it their new perch. Poor guy it really was funny, even funnier when the girls showed him the picture we took of the seagull sitting on his SCARY spider. He said "Well.....that.... ASSHOLE" to which the girls laughed their butts off.
The DVD player was shit and there was no hot water anywhere except for the downstairs tub, the two bedrooms that was advertised turned out to be one big room with a wall (with no door) in between. So, there went all the kinky sex I had planned:(
There were no batteries in the remote control, the owner said "Well, them last sumbitches musta stole um" and when we told him that the DVD player was shit he came over and worked on it for about an hour and determined that, "Yep, it's shit". He was very nice about it and after he pretty much blamed us for braking it, he gave us his play station to use and it only stopped working in the middle of the movies about five times. I ended up having to get pissy and told the dude that this thing was shit too and I wanted DVD player that worked NOW! To which he jumped and got me one ~ why couldn't he have just done that to freakin' begin with?
The pier was made out of sawhorses, it was sturdy though,the girls got some bread, sat on it, and took turns being attacked by seagulls.....dumb ass youngins.....funny shit.
We tried to make the most of it and we ended up having a good time. Our oldest loved the paddle boat and once the owner taught her how to fix the chain (that fell off about every hour) she had fun with it and only had to swim back to shore three times. He also loaned us an electric scooter that the two youngest loved. They have both asked for one for Christmas. We went to a bear reserve and a wild life reserve, it was cool we got our pictures taken with a baby bear.

We went to a little zoo and the girls got to hold a baby bobcat. We also went to an Elk farm, and a waterfall.

We walked up to watch a local gospel group at the community center, the lawn was filled with lawn chairs and everyone brought there dogs and of coarse their beer, the people even got up and danced a couple of drunken gigs to "you are my sunshine" and "I walk with Jesus".
We had a good time and felt right at home.

We got lots of good pictures of everything. I think that over all, I got enough pictures to keep me painting for awhile.

Catch Up

It's been awhile, sorry for that, I'll catch ya up. We had a bake sale for my dad, in case ya'll missed it he doesn't have a leg to stand onand the taking off of legs is very expensive and the bills are kicking my mama's ass. I baked till I dropped which ended up being around two the night before, then got up (AT 5 A.M.) and set up the sale. We did not sale as much as I would have liked and it was hot so a lot of my yum yums melted and I still had a half of a fridge full. I got rid of our two kitty's at the bake sale though, so at least something got accomplished. The draw back to that was that my kid (the animal lovin one) squalled like a two year old all day.I went to work where I sold some of my left over baked goods.I stuck to a time proven strategy to do this- get um drunk and temp them with sweets.
Work sucked more then normal that night,had four fights and some dumbass brought his dogs but,didn't leave um in his vehicle, he just let um run free around the building, so every time someone came in or went out,so did the dogs. I kicked him and his dogs out after the third time. I can't have dogs in the bar, they end up shitting in the restaurant, and my boss really doesn't like that, I know. The night went from bad to worse when I had to kick out a friend, for knocking over drinks,and getting on top of the bar, which was extremely nerve wrecking because he is very big and our bar is very old and week. He got mad and tried to run his truck into the bar, nice hu?
There were a few more heated conversations, and a guy pissing all over the men's room floor, topped off my night, But, I forgot to even mention the girl who came in, wearing a dress cut down to there, with nothing on under it, and ofcourse she was bending over a lot. I and everyone there have probably seen her titties more then her husband of two months, whom she claimed loudly that she hates. When asked why she married him, she says cus she was drunk and he asked. Now, she can't divorce him because neither one of them have a job to pay for it. So, she's decided to stick it out for four more months in hopes of gaining his house. lovely hu?
Fathers day turned out to be not very good for my husband. It started with me getting up prepared to cook my wonderful man a fathers day breakfast feast, but was greeted with my baby coon (which I got the week before) dying.While, I was at work, the night before, selling my butt off (that didn't sound good) my daughter gave Bandit a couple of baths because he was sticky after he had some yogurt. This proved to be a little too much for him and he dyed. My daughters and I were devastated and my husband spent the day trying to cheer us, then, I went to work a very sad lil redneck.
The next morning I was determined to make all this up to my husband but was instead greeted with my dog 'Rexy'who we have had for seven years, dying, I called my husband home from school, to take him to the vet but, he died even before we could get him into the car.
Very sad the next day, but still had to work. On the way home from work, I thought I saw a baby coon in the road so pulled over and investigated, it was not a baby coon, but instead was one of the kittens I just gotten rid of. What luck. She ran right up into my arms, I took her home and after she ate two bowls of food, I decided not to break my youngins heart again ------- And so, we named her 'Magna' ....I am back in good mommy standing with this youngin now, she even said "You da man, Mom"... To which, I swelled with feel good Mommy pride, while thinking 'Yep, I da man fer sure'
I am not however, in good mommy standing with my boy crazy 14 year old. We got her a job, the theory was to keep her so busy she wouldn't have time to focus on boys. Well, it didn't work, she likes the job cus, there are so many cute boys there and everyday we get to hear all the...... "and he said" ......"and I said"...... "and his eyes are the color of" ...and yada yada yada. Good plan, way to back fire, it's a shame they don't still make chastity belts. Maybe I'll buy her some baggy cloths when we go school shopping, strike that cus, I got her a job and now she has her own money. Boy, you kin tell I really thought this through hu?
The hubs and I celebrated our sixteenth anniversary, I don't know how he does it.
The fourth of July was a dud, but got to see an old friend, my long lost NB which was nice and my awesome cousin came for a visit and we had a great time.Of course, there were lots of drunken shenanigans and some dancing on the bar, and I may or may not have sang some karaoke, it is debatable because the play back sure didn't sound like singing, it was more like a sick pig howling. Not showing the video or posting the pictures, you understand I'm sure.
Our vacation is coming up so I have been working alot to get some extra money and trying to get everything around, like getting the house clean since it refuses to clean itself. We're going to Michigan for a week, very excited. I will post when I get home and I'll be sure to take lots of pics.Till then

Poor Poor Lilredneck

We took the youngins for a walk today, we have decided to walk as often as we can, cus, the hubby is fat (his words not mine). He is on a diet, he has given up pop and bread and is having a helluva time with it, he says it's harder then quitting smoking. He has already lost sum weight, though we don't know exactly how much, because he got mad at the scale a few months ago and junked it.
Anyway, the reactions of us taking a walk were comical, the whole neighborhood thought we ran out of gas and people were asking if we needed a ride to the station. Then they started taking pictures of us....This is what happens when you live in a small town...I guess jogging is out of the question.
On the way home we ended up with a tag along. We walked past a 'FREE PUPPY' sign. Me and the ol' man pretended we didn't see it, until the pups came a runnin' and the girls started oohing and aahing... S....H....I....T.
Then one of the pups decided he liked us and followed us all the way home. All of my husbands cussing, yelling and trying to chase this pup away didn't even phase it. He followed us home, then ran in the house like he owned it and settled down on Teffas' bed, like it was his. Very cute, but..... NO !!!

We stayed strong though, even through all the begging and pleading and the big blue teary eyes.We took the pup back! Yep, we suck rule.

After our celebrity walk and the doggy drama, we got ready to spend the rest of the day at the beach. We're all dressed and ready, the picnic was packed and I had my book in hand, then I remembered that I had to work :(
Not my normal night to work but, I took the night before off, to go to a euchre tournament... I lost btw, but the hubs took second place.
Long faces and some cussing tears too, I went off to work. I tried not to show my disappointment (smiles get more tips then frowns) So, all night I felt like shit for letting my family down, then I started thinking about this blog and getting upset over it too.
For awhile now I've been writing in this damn blog, trying to make it pretty and all. I made this adorable cute header and I've been making sure I take pictures of all the shit I plan on blogging about. I tweet every time I write, trying to get some followers and maybe some comments. So far, I only have two followers, and one of them is ME ......Don't know how I did that.....shut up...
WTF, people I'm funny... read me and you'd see. I figured I'm going to have to get serious and take sum drastic measures.. yer making me do it.
I came up with a PLAN... he he he witches cackle. I've decided to give you all an ultimatum ~ Follow me, or I will sent you very evil thoughts from my only slightly dysfunctional massive brain' !!!! I'm serious now, so beware, many have doubted and many have felt my power (usually, when they're taking their morning shit and it hurts their assholes) ha ha fuckers that's me....... so no more doubts or next I'll maka you buttholes bleed. he he he witches cackle
Beware... My redneck bullshit power is extreme...
So unless you want to walk around all day with a pain that only time can cure...... FOLLOW.....
And don't forget to go visit My Awesome Website and buy stuff play around.
Let me know what you think!

Duck.. Duck... Loose

We have found a home for our duck 'Salt'. We took her to a duck paradise where she can run and play with all the other ducks, Salt is the white one.

There is a duck pond she can swim in.

There are lot's of other animals here, and I thought I lived in a zoo.
The parrot took the cake though, his name is 'Victor' and he flies as free as a bird should. He talks and says his name, he is beautiful and I think he knows it...

He seemed to like my oldest and went right to her...
Then he came to me
...S...H....I....T...

Pay no attention to that chin under my chin, that's a whole nother post.

It took awhile for me to stop thinking he was going to bite my neck off.

We soon got along fine, until he decided he liked my boobs,

.....and I decided...

........SO DO I........

So for the sake of my boobs, I gave him back to his owner.

We had a nice visit. When we got home the girls rode 'Ghost' for all of five minutes and it broke down. We are all just devastated by this :)

Our New Ghost

For years my husband has been whining yearning for a four wheeler and this year, with our taxes, we were able to get him one.

Here it is in all it's glory.

He named it 'The Hulk'

My family has been having loads of fun on this big mean green machine every since. It has paid for itself already, this thing gets rode more then I do.

My husband made a trail for us to ride 'The Hulk' on and now has taught our oldest girl 'the dare devil' to ride it too (with supervision) which of course scares the bejesus outta me. Now he has been talking about getting a smaller one for my eleven and eight year old. There goes my nerves summer:(

My girls should have been boys, they climb trees, play with snakes and all sorts of critters, that we usually get stuck with. My oldest daughter bungee jumped last year on vacation (my heart was in my throat) and she wanted to do it again, then our other two got pissy cus they were to young to do it (I think they're trying to kill me)

Since having 'The Hulk', I have become a ball of nerves every time my husband has them on it and every time they bring up getting another one. All my bitching pleading falls on dumb deaf ears, he says they have to experience new things, and he doesn't want them to be afraid of shit. Well hell...

Today, he got them one... it was free... one of his buddies gave it to him and another buddy fixed it for him. Of course the girls are ecstatic about it and have already named it.

Let me introduce 'Ghost'

The girls have spent today giving me a coronary having fun on it. They do look cute on it.

My mommy brain though, sees all sorts of morbid visions and accidents that make me a nervous wreck.

I truly don't wanna hold them back but, they don't seem to care that my heart skips a beat or two every time they zoom by yelling "Look at me mom" or "Watch this mom"....URRR.... and to make it worse they laugh while I scream "SLOW DOWN!!!" as I frantically search for a way to destroy this new machine before it hurts my babies.

Okay, end of post!

I'm off to Wal-mart to buy helmets, knee and elbow pads and some of that shit that kills all things green within a mile, I think it's called Hulk-Be-Gone. I'll be on my cell with 'Ghost Busters' on the way.

Amazing DOG

If you've been reading you'll remember me tellin' you about the kitty's my girls found in the garage and how they are gonna go so at home they are with us now. Well let me elaborate.
My pregnant dog Teffa had come up missing and since she had never run away before, we feared for her life, then miraculously she appeared with one puppy.She has always had like five or six pups, so I'm left to assume that she had them in the woods and something got the rest of her pups and she was only able to save this one. Poor baby, when she came home with it, she actually looked like she was crying. She was very traumatized by this. That's when, miracle upon headache miracle the girls found these three kittens. The mama kitty stole one back so we have been stuck blessed with these two damn adorable kittens.
After about a week of cuddling with Teffa and her fat puppy 'Rudy', they began nursing off of her. It's true!! I couldn't believe it either. Teffa doesn't seem to mind, and I think it has helped her deal with the loss of her other puppies.

I video taped it for you.

Sooooo cute hu? It really is a win win.... the kittens get nursed and Teffa gets helped too, and 'Rudy' has something to chew on besides our feet.
I just hope the kitties don't start barking or the pup start meowing, what a post that would make hu?
Now it seems I'll have to wait until they are all weaned to give um the boot.
Speaking of boots...
Here's 'Rudy' stuck in my husbands boot, so cuteand here he is giving the boots a piece of his mind
