My week in one word

......................   EXHAUSTING!!!

What is one word to describe your week?

Back to school woes

Aside from Christmas the back to school season is my most hated time of the year.  This is one on the times of year where I think "Why oh why do I have more than 1 child"....  Then I remember... Duh, I'm a nympho, and kids come from sex. Honestly I'm surprised I don't have 25 kids. I could really have given the Duggers a run for the money is I was more fertile.

School starts back next Tuesday. And the only thing I have accomplished is spending 200 on school supplies. Yes my Dear friends, you read that right. I spent 200 mother effin dollars on their school supplies. The school list has gotten so specific. They don't want the generic crap that I wanted to buy. Noooooo they want name brand shit like Expo, and Crayola, and clorox, and Kleenex brand shit. No dollar Treeing shit this year.

I still have to clothe 2 little people for this year. For some odd reason they can't fit into the shit I just got them for Christmas last year. It must be because they want to be fed everyday or some shit. And shoes, yeah they need shoes too.

And to top all that off... they are at that wonderful age where they know that there are stores other than Walmart! They want shit from Justice, and American eagle, and shit like that. Do they think I'm made of money???

Oh yeah good times, cause as soon as this is over, I have to start getting their Christmas stuff. I'm tellin ya this is a vicious cycle....

Fear

I just went through the scariest moment in my life thus far as a Mother. Worse than the Little Little's cleft repairs.

My Middle Little B was with her biological Father this week. I got up at 6:30 Wednesday morning to 20 missed calls from him. they were rushing my Middle to another hospital from the one he had taken her to. My sweet 7 year old baby had to have her appendix taken out.Let me tell ya, when someone tells you something like that you have and you have an over active imagination like I do, the 45 minutes it takes to get to the hospital are pure HELL!!!

It was inflamed. Not ruptured like he told me on the phone.

This is when they were getting ready to take her into the OR.

They removed it through her belly button

Day after surgery

Home at last where she belongs

Snuggle time with Daddy and a heating pad.


Hubby was there every second he could be. She is D's baby.  She is good now for the most part. Just super sore and her pain meds don't really work that great. But I am so thankful that she is home now and that they caught it in time.

the Sperm Donor thought she was going back to his house when she got released.... Ummm I think NOT. I threw a bitch fit, and she is where she needs to be. With her Mommy. She didn't want to go with him anyway.

His Mother threw a fit because I brought her home....

I find out today, that Middle's tummy had been hurting for 2 damn days before they took her to the E.R, and he didn't call to let me know he was taking her till they rushed her to another hospital. Yeah I'm a bit pissed off about that.

And on top of that, my eldest Little told me that her step-grandfather yelled at her for CRYING for wanting to go to the hospital with Middle. She cried herself to sleep that night worrying about her Sissy.......

But it's ok now. They are home. And Middle is loving all this extra attention she is getting.

But I do not wish something like this to happen to anyone's baby. It was horrendous

Mom Brain

There comes a time after leaving the work force to stay home with your children that you realize that parenthood has ruined your brain.

LISTEN UP PEOPLE!!!! KIDS KILL BRAIN CELLS!!!!!!!

Before kids when you go out to a store you make yourself pretty.... Yeah that shit don't happen round here no more. Getting 3 kids somewhat presentable for public viewing and the struggle to get them all in the car and make it to the store all in one piece, Ain't nobody got time for that make-up and hair brushing shit. I'm lucky to remember pants and a bra. Hell who am I kidding? I rarely wear a bra any more, and just go to Wally World in my Pj's.

There once was a time when I could go out and have ACTUAL conversations.... with random people and NOT look like a psych ward escapee.

Now the whole moving my mouth and coherent words coming out of it thing... it just doesn't happen.

Outside of my kids.... I have nothing interesting to say.

However, if I could just stick with the inner webs I'm good to go. I can sure as fuck  type some somewhat sane things, but in the end they come out nonsensical as well.

On the rare occasions I go out.... gasp without my children, you may mistake me as a schizophrenia patient that is off her meds.

So if you see a poor bedraggled woman in the toilet paper isle in Wal-Mart, having a full blown conversation with herself about Charmin verses Quilted Northern toilet paper, that would be me. Just give me a pat on the back and tell me to get the Charmin..... and to go home and take my meds......

Summer ..... Yeah it sucks

Yeah the Little's love this time of year. No school, they can swim all the time, play outside all day, and catch lightening bugs at night.

For me.... yeah, not so much.

It's a sad reminder of the upcoming anniversary of the accident that took my Mom and Donnie. It's had to think of having a good time, when all I can think is that 5 years ago today they were still here.

I'm thinking I have to start back to school shopping for the older 2 Little's.

I have to work in my garden in unbelievable heat.

No matter what I can't seem to cool the house.

Fuck I still have to clean the house.

Gearing up for the Fall pageant season.... yeah they sucks too....

Then I have a rampaging 3 year old that is Hell bent on destroying what little sanity I have retained.

Everything the kids want to do takes money we don't have.

Plus the kids don't really get much of a Summer with me this year. Their SD is trying to make up time he missed during softball season. And school starts back the 13th of August.

Which lets face it... that's gay!!!

So our already paid for vacation is the 2nd week of a new school year and they will be starting the year off bad by missing a week of school.

Note to self

Yeah, that about sums it up.

There are days where I feel like an 80 year old Dementia patient. I completely forget what I am doing while I am doing it!

This little rant you're reading right now is because I had a severe memory lapse last night , that went unchecked till this morning. I left the oven on all night!!!

I think I need those little post it notes to remind me of things to do. You know like they do for alzheimer patients.

A little sign above the sink " Shut off water", over the stove " Make sure oven and all burners are off", " Lock the door", I will be overtaken by little fluorescent notes.

I will have no more space on my walls for family pictures. Which is fine, because at the rate I'm going, I won't even remember who these people are.

Of course it could be fun, I could leave notes like this for my Dear Hubby....
