Poop, Paxil, and Pageantry

Clint got free tickets form work to go see the production of Frogz. It was wonderful. I think Clint and I enjoyed as much if not more then the kids. The custuming was unbelievable. Every scene was amazing. If you ever have a chance to go see it, I highly reccommend you do. Apparently there is an event called The Festival of World Theatre . That is how we were so lucky to have gotten to see Frogz. I mean when are the Steins going to be in New York.......I am guessing, not any time soon.

Hey, don't judge the sleeper. She is old, but in Great shape. Plus....she was FREE. You have to love anything that was free. We needed some place for Clint's brother and sister-in-law to sleep. Well here you go. Oh and let me tell you, it ain't to uncomfortable. I could spend a lot of nights on that thing.

Clint found this thing for 2,500 dollars. He figured with our trips to Texas for house hunting and job interviews, this would make things a hell of a lot easier. Plus since he bought it for so cheap, we could sell it when we are done for a profit. Kind of like an investment. I know our friend Mike (who hopefully gets back from Iraq soon) is ready to help Clint use it up a bit before we move. View from the back. View form the front. Oh and hell yes, there is a toilet and a kitchen. We will not have to stop for anything but gas and we can stay at an RV park. We will save big money on hotels.

While at the zoo, we (as we do every damn time we go to the zoo) fed the giraffes. Well, Steven suddenly , right before my eyes, turned from a ginormous wimp into DA DEDA DA "THE GIRAFFE WHISPER" Coming soon to a theater near you.

I know noone will believe it, but my Dad finally came to visit. The kids were amazed. Not only at how hairy he was, but that he preferred to sit behind a thick wall of glass. They were thrilled to finally have him come visit and spend so much time giving them his undivided attention. I love you Dad

Oh yah, who's the shit? If oyu answered Katy, you would be correct. Yesterday we went and picked up our free sleeper sofa. When the lady said Olive green, she wasn't kidding. It is some kind of awful olive (yellowish) green color. The fabric is like velvet almost. Oh and the legs are broken, but let me tell you, clint can fix the legs and I can slipcover the 1962 specimen. It was FREE. I love just about anything FREE. I will take pictures. I still have to open up the hide a bed and see what is going on in there. Wish me luck.

I stole this from Michelle. I have not checked the dollar amount, but it sounds about right from the things I do know. Not sure you believe it, go look up the facts yourself. I guarantee you will find these numbers to be fairly accurate. I am not the biggest fan (maybe a medium fan) of Rush Limbaugh, but I think he hit the nail on the head here. What do you think? DO you think our soldiers families are fairly compensated? Do you think they deserve compensation equal to that of the victims of 9/11? Where are the fund raisers for our soldiers? Where is hollywood? Where is your money hollywood? These men and woman are serving your country. They are serving the country that gives its citizens the freedoms to express their disgust for the war. What are your thoughts? Pro War or Anti War, what about the soldiers or are serving their country despite their political beliefs? By Rush Limbaugh: I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those w...

Jennifer sent me a link to a website with free stuff . I am getting a free sleeper sofa today. Now the inlaws will have a place to sleep when they get here. Anyone else want to come visit? We have all kinds of sleeping room for company. I am so damn excited....FREE!!!! That so fits in my budget. My friend Richie said he would go pick it up. Whoo hoo!!!! Thank you Jennifer. You are my hero girl.

People Envy Your Confidence You have the attitude and self esteem to take on anything. Failure is beyond not an option for you - it doesn't even cross your mind. People envy your ability to take on any challenge ... and they're secretly afraid you think you're better than them. You don't. You're just sure of yourself. What Do People Envy About You?

So, let me tell you part of being monetarily challenged is you are always looking for a bargain and ways to save money. Well, yesterday one of the best deals in the world came along. We bought a bunkbed . It looked exactly like the one in this picture. It came WITH the mattresses, the sheets and pillows. Oh, and it had only been slept on once. We got our bunkbed for a mere $50.00. Can you believe it. Damn I am good.

Clint and I watched Failure to Launch last night. I really enjoyed it. Somepretty funny stuff. Now of course I am a huge fan of Matthew McConaughey. Not just because he is goooooood lookin', but also because he is a very kind, down to earth person. Oh, and Terry Bradshaw was so damn funny. I am thinking about having my own "naked room". Don't know what I mean? Well, go watch the movie. It would be really easy if you had netflix. What? you do not have netflix? Everyone has to have netflix. Go to my sidebar and find the link and sign up. Besides, for everyone who signs up through my website, I get nine bucks. Yes, you read that right. NINE BUCKS. We also watched the Libertine with Johnny Depp . Clint and I really love Johnny Depp. He is an incredible actor. The movie was good, a little slow, but good. If you like the artsy kind of movies, you know like that movie Johnny Depp was in Ed Wood , you will like this movie for sure. Oh and by the way, I just made $10.50 off o...

So, as you know, the shit hit the fan. My Dad's wife and I had declared war and it wasn't pretty. Then it happened. She got balls way bigger then mine and of course managed to be a bit less stubborn. We were like Ebony and Ivory. I was so relieved to have the family battle come to an end. Apologies were made and accepted all around. The celebrating began. Of course when the news reached CNN and Fox News, the world began to celebrate with us. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.......I am so relieved. I guess I can stop the binge drinking and shooting up heroin, popping xanax and of course beating my children and my pets.

Well, Jack Army's days here in the United States are numbered. For those of you unaware, my big brother is heading off to Iraq. Let ,me tell you a bit about my big brother. He has been planning battles and leading soldiers since we were children. My younger brother and I were members (not always willingly) of his army. We climbed in ditches, we built forts and shelters, he built boobie traps to keep us out of his forts and shelters. Tom has been preparing for his call to duty since he left my mother's womb. When I headed over to his site, I found so many heartwarming comments. Please, if you have the time, go and bid him ado .

So in all my research I have found some great sites, some great sellers and some wonderful information. I plan on sharing all I have found. First I want to send all of you to this seller on ebay. I couldn't have asked for a better transaction and I was thrilled with both the price and the quality of the posters I got for the kids. Oh and they arrived so fast....I couldn't believe it. I am happy to promote someone who does business like these people. I also found a site that just had a shit load of information. I think it might be useful to everyone. People with children, people without children...... Please, check it out.

My dear darling friend Pat is in the hospital. I was pretty freaked out. You know how you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.....well she is my family and I picked her. Tanner (my dog) has a form of ecema. The poor guy. Apparently when it is cold (which is more often in Colorado then in Texas) it isn't a problem. He has been itching so bad that he has ripped some of his fur out. My poor old man. I got some spray to stop the itching and that seems to help. I am almost completly done getting clothes for the kids for winter. Emily needs two more pairs of jeans and maybe someshoes. I want to wait on the shoes a few months though because it seems she is having a growth spurt. The boys need undershirts and snowboots and then they are done. Talk about preperation. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I am almost done gathering our homeschooling supplies. The funny thing is, the stuff we are still lacking.....other people trash. We really do not drink soda and we need a few...

Okay, so I was really not up on the history of why all this fighting is going on between Israel and Lebanon. I spent the morning reading up on how all this started. It is so heart breaking that so many people are suffering. I just want to scream. Embrace our differences. Live and let live. I am so afraid of what is happening to our world. I wonder if people who are not in any way affiliated with the military realize what is going on in our world. Do people care or are we so wrapped up in our everyday life that we are unaware of the turmoil. The civilians who are paying with their lives....it is so sad. What do we do? How do we as a people...not just as Americans, but as humans, how do we reconcile what is happening? How do we bring peace? When will enlightenment spread across the world? When will we all accept and embrace those who are different? We must ALL come to an understanding that no matter race, sex, religion......we are all human. We all love, we are all sons, daughters, fathe...

So if you hadn't noticed....I have not updated in a little bit. I know it is bad when even my friends who know all my business are asking when the hell I am going to update. Well, I have been busy. Shit, can't a girl just hide out for awhile and take a break from life. No?!?!!? Okay well here is my update. I had to renew my membership with photobucket. That would be why my bandwith ran out. HEE HEE..... My Dad and I really are no longer speaking. We love each other very much, my step-monster (tongue and cheek) and I will have to come to an understanding and I am guessing that may take awhile, because she will have to e-mail me or call me for that to happen. Maybe!?!?!? I don't know, the more time passes, the more I just do not give a shit and just want everone to get along. They have made ammends to my Grandmother and that is all that really matters to me. Well, that and the fact that my Daddy says she makes him very happy. I guess if she really makes him happy, then thatis...
