FUMING...

to say the least!!! I don't have much time, but I just have to get something off my chest, because right now it's REALLY ticking me off!!! Our older kids stayed at my parents house this weekend and Xandria called Nick at night telling him that she loved him and then asked him if we broke up. IF WE BROKE UP?!? Why the heck would she just ask that out of the blue...I wondered when he told me. It's not like we've been having problems or arguing or anything like that. Then he proceeds to tell me that she asked that because that's what someone told her! That SOMEONE being a freakin adult!! An adult that my kids see quite often...even more so right now, because of this SOMEONE's living situation, that puts them around my kids!! Now who the hell says that to a child about their parents?!! I JUST DON'T GET IT!! AND ESPECIALLY TO SAY IT WHEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TRUTH TO IT AND THIS PERSON KNOWS IT!!!! Even if it ever was true, whose place would it be to inform a child that their parents were no longer going to be together? I would think it would be the PARENTS place, not anyone else!! To say that I'm ready to explode is an understatement!!! This person is always telling lies and runs her mouth ALL THE TIME about things she makes up in her head!! I've had to deal with it for a VERY long time and I'm just ready to snap!! This is beyond crossing the line with me...you don't say and do things to intentionally hurt my kids!!! Ok...must go for now...Xavier has a game tonight. I will most likely see this person tonight, and as much as I'm not normally one for confrontation, I definitely am NOT just going to push this under the rug and be quiet about it!!

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY ANGIE!!!

Today is my best friend since 5th grade's 30th birthday and I wanted to make sure to post and tell her that I hope she has a GREAT BIRTHDAY!! And also that I'm thinking of her and miss her SO MUCH!!!! I used to hate the fact that her birthday was one month and ten days before my birthday...now I like it because that means she turns 30 before me :)
*hopefully I can get to posting pictures soon!!

have i mentioned that i cant stand our neighbors?

So...remember the garbage/dumpster incident a couple months back w/our new neighbors?? Well, the things that piss me off about them didn't end there! Forget the fact that the chick is freaking NUTS over there!!!...she apparently is on the THIRD guy living there w/her and her two kids. Not sure what happened to the first (though I can probably guess!), I do KNOW what happened to #2. And that's because they got into a HUGE fight in the front yard, for oh, about an HOUR or so. With her SCREAMING and cursing her head off at him...while her kids ran around the front yard and apparently even threw rocks at our car a couple times (which I later learned about from my kids). Xandria had come in and told me she thought they were moving again because "the guy had all his underwear in a basket and put it into the car...nope, it seems he was the only one moving, ha!
The chick is crazy...from the minute they arrive home, ALL you can hear from there is her SCREAMING at the kids...who are probably 5 and 3. And ANY time they are outside...she is SCREAMING at them! Throw in their dog, that any time they are home, it is outside YAPPING NONSTOP!! Drives me crazy!! In fact, that's all I hear right now as I'm sitting in our room w/the sliding door open.
Anyway, their driveway runs right next to our front yard. They seem to think it's fine for their/her kids to drive their power wheels through the side of our front yard, or if they need to, back up through our front yard. Niiice. Lovely, in fact.
I just went out to throw the garbage away in OUR dumpster and I look over and one of her family members is sitting in their truck IN OUR front yard, right next to her driveway!! It's not sitting on the driveway AT ALL...just on our yard, right next to our tree. Oh how nice. I go back in the house and decide I'm going to say something. Now I go out there and instead of it just sitting there w/someone in it...it's PARKED there w/no one in it!! My blood is starting to boil, just a tad more at this point! These are the same freakin neighbors that think their property is private, as there is a PRIVATE PROPERTY sign in their freakin window...yet, our yard and whatever is in it seems to be public property or something!
So, anyway a lady comes to the truck to get something out, I say "excuse me" at least 5 times and walk over there before she FINALLY decides to look the f@!$ up. I ask her if she could move the truck and she informs me that yes, she can move it, they were just waiting for the people in front of them to move their car....RIIIGHT!! If that was the case, couldn't you pull into the street and wait for them or even park the damn truck in FRONT of our house?!! No, I guess it makes more sense to park it in our front yard.
Needless to say, we are putting up a fence in the front yard! I just get more and more irritated w/them.
Also, they apparently have used our lawn mower trailer for their yard. Nick keeps it in the waay back yard (behind what we have fenced in, but is still our yard)...neither of our neighbors have their yards fenced in, so the part of our yard that's not fenced in is open to their yards. Well, Nick he had to walk over to their house to get the badmiton birdie that was hit over there and lo and behold guess whose trailer is now sitting in their yard?? Yep, that would be ours!! Lovely.
I've really tried had to refrain from being a total you-know-what, but it's get harder and harder to just ignore all their crap!!
Anyway, Happy Friday!! It's beautiful out :)

how to remove your sunglasses by ziana...

Step 1: once sunglasses are placed on your face, launch your upper body backwards in an effort to make them more easier to grasp.

Step 2: if step 1 happens to fail, then you need to upright yourself and focus more on grabbing the sunglasses with just one hand. you've almost got them!

Step 3: you should have a hold of them by now. yes, you did it! slide them down on your nose.

Step 4: now that you have gotten ahold of them, the other hand is welcome to join the action...continue to slide them down, until...

Step 5: they are completely off your face! Yay!! you did it!!

Ziana managed to accomplish removing the sunglasses exactly one week after she was spotted in public wearing them and her mom was repeatedly questioned about how it is they remain on her face without baby girl removing them. Yep, she was determined to prove anyone that thought she would just sit back and let the sunglasses stay on her face, wrong! Ah well, what's a mom to do?
