Oh The Joys of Remodeling

Yesterday I was painting the ceiling and suddenly spilled MUCH paint all over the place ,including all over our brand new range we don't even haver hooked up. Yesterday I spilled a whole big glob of paint right in my eye. I hate painting ceilings! This week we get the new counter tops, then it's finish painting and doing the floors and we'll be done. Getting close.

Shut the Fuck Up

What the hell gave me the idea that remodeling the kitchen would be a good idea with a 2 year old and 7 year old around. They are both being major brats today and I'm ready to knock them into next week. As Cosby said, I brought you into this world I can take you back out.Yeah and don't comment on here that I'm an evil bitch for calling my children brats, and threatening their lives. All children act bratty at one time or another and today they're competeing for who needs to be bitch slapped the most. And yeah I don't actually slap my children so shut the fuck up about that too. It's my blog and if I want to bitch about my children I will. Neither of them are in danger of anything more then missing thier favorite cartoon so ,waah. Yeah I'm pissed, am trying to get a little work done around here and can't get a break from refereeing fights for 5 minutes. Emily's room looks like atornado hit so she is banned to her room until it's clean or no Martha Speaks. Alison has had a time out twice in a 1/2 hour , one for hitting and one for biting. If I don't write and vent I might just spontaneously combust.

One days accomplishments of a menopausal bitch

Well got something done yesterday in spite of my hormones. Emily did a unit on birds, looking them up on the internet, coloring realistic color sheets, listening to their songs, reading her library books, and going to the park and trying to spot some of them. I liked it because it covered Science, Reading, Computer, phys ed and Art all in one shot. Alison got some much need exercise and loved the park.

I painted the new kitchen island black and it looks awesome. Can't wait for it to be done, Ran some errands, did some housework yada yada..

The biggest accomplishment was not biting anyones head off. I feel like shit. No one told me you could get PMS cramping, and hot flashes the same day. What's up with that? It's like the gray hairs and acne. One or the other but not both! Everyone pisses me off. Stupid commercials bring me to tears. I hate this aging crap. Besides the physical discomforts and body changes , it makes me think of time wasted and what I should've accomplished by 47. Geez. What a fool. Life is not a dress rehersal though, there's no going back and chaging anything. This is the life I made , I'm stuck with all my fuck ups. Not that I have a horrible life. I'm married to a good man and have 3 beautiful daughters, we're fine at the moment with this stupid economy. I'm very lucky in some ways. What if things did go to shit though. I was too stupid to finish my degree so if things ever change and I have to return to working fulltime it will likely be some shit job I don't want to do and I have no one to blame but myself. I spent 10 years , young, single, childless and did nothing but survive. No traveling, no degree, no hobbies, nothing. What the hell.

My husband calls this "mean o pause "and is threatening to move into the garage. I'm fine and then it hits me like flipping a switch. I hate the world, pissed at everything and just want everyone to leave me the fuck alone. arghh. I'll get through this and at the other side what do I get? Old age. Oh great, that sure motivates me to tolerate it....

Spring?

Here we go again, another snow storm coming in. Arghhh. I like winter, better than summer so I haven't really been bothered by it like most people, but enough is enough. It's April now, time for spring flowers, good thunder storms, bonfires , getting the garden ready etc. etc. Hopefully it will be a long spring this year.

I am so behind on current events, entertainment and such. I just watched yesterday "Across the Universe" too artsy for some but I liked it. Growing up with Beatle music playing constantly probabaly helps. My brother Mike, 8 years older than me played Beatle music continuosly, in fact still does. It was the soundtrack to my childhood. Even at Christmas time. At school, around town, traditional carols were playing. At my house it was the Beatles.

Such a great time to be a kid. I had the run of that little town. I did things I would never dream of letting my girls do. It's just not safe any more. I wasn't much older than Emily when I would take off on my bike for the day. I had to be home by dark, that was it. I didn't have a cell phone to check in or anything. No way these days. It was a different time though, and a small town. 2 blocks from the house below was my Dad's house, and other few blocks after that was my granparents house. Any street I happened to be on there was someone who at least knew my family. I was safe, and I was convinced I could take care of myself anyway. Now days kids are pushed into day care at 6 weeks old, live in dangerous times compared to the when I grew up, there's no time for them to just be kids ( unless you homeschool) Sad they miss out on so much and pushed to grow up so fast.

As usual I have rambled away from my original subject but how much can you say about a fucking April snow storm anyway?

Fun Tresspassing

See this stupid little corner table? My grandmother had that made to fit in the bathroom and it's still there. Why they took it out of the space it was made for I don't know. If i hadn't been flying I would've swiped it.

This is the garage that was the head quarters for all my little clubs. Looked a lot better in those days. Once Mike had a grill in there, poured a bunch of lighter fluid on it.."Lisa, watch this!" wooosh! Lucky the whole thing didn't go. If Mike said waych , you did, it was going to be good. When I look at the front of the house the first thing that comes to mind is Mike kicking a popeye punching bag and it sailing through that front window.

When I was little , from 7-14 I lived here. The new owners divided it into apartments , did nothing else for 30 years and now it's about to fall down. I did go through it and take pictures though.

Didn't mean to put double picks of the garage on here but don't have the time to fix it. Anyway, one of the apartments was opened so I went in
