Florida By Way of Atlanta

Well, for those of you that care, I made it safely to Orlando. I was suppose to leave last night around 7:00, but due to problems beyond my control, we left around 9:30 or 10:00. Let me just say to anyone that has never made that trip, that is the longest most boring drive ever. We drove until about 1:30 this morning, then my son and my nephew both started screaming to get out of the car. We pulled over in some town I have never heard of, at some shady looking gas station to let them stretch their legs. As I am standing in this gas station, holding my nephew in one arm and my son at bay with the other, I felt like such white trash. The kids both coughed like they had some infectious disease, with "I haven't had enough sleep" bags under their eyes and their hair in some sort of "my mommy doesn't comb my hair...ever" thing going on. I'm sure by this time I looked just as raggedy and the way the people looked at us was if to say,"I can't believe they have those poor children out at this hour!" I was tempted to walk up to the cashier, plop a 40 on the counter and ask for a pack of "Ribbed for Her Pleasure" just for shits and giggles. I would never see these people again and I was too tired to give a shit anyway, but I refrained. So, we made a pee run and continued on our voyage. We(my sister-in-law and I )talked and laughed and tried to keep each other awake. All the while my eyes were rolling around in my head from exhaustion. I tried at one point to close my eyes and rest for a minute, but at this time a dumbass desided to pull out in front of us, causing her to slam on the brakes and causing my heart to jump up in my throat. That was the last time my eyes closed longer than a blink the rest of the way. Anyhoo, we got here about 7:00 this moring and I made it until about 1:00, then I curled up in my daddy's bed and passed the fuck out. So far, I have been to Wal-Mart, cause apparently I can't go anywhere without going to Wal-Mart, and managed to get a sunburn on one of my arms while sitting in my dad's backyard. Yep, ONE of my arms...and it's a farmer's tan too. So I have to subject myself to more sun just to catch the rest of my body up to the level of burn on the one arm. I just can't go back home and explain how I went to Florida and only managed to get sun on one arm. Well, that's my vacation so far. Long ass drive, trip to Wally World and already sunburned. Man, this is the life!

Yeah..But Ya Got A Booger.

Friday night was my brother's birthday and we had a great time getting drunk and making fools of ourselves. We went to Stix to eat dinner and followed it up with a trip to the Plaza for beer and pool. Good times. We listened to the stylings of some rent-a-DJ, and danced like Michael Jackson. I can't speak for anyone else, but I had so much fun. At one point during the night I had Noodle Spiller confess that he wanted me, for which I slid my hand in his front pocket and said,"Really? " Then I pulled his phone out of his pocket and said, "You can call your girlfriend and tell her then." He stood there with his mouth open while I turned and walked away. He is such a freak. Then we wondered up to Heath's apartment to bug him for a few hours. Noodle Spiller and my sister-in-law sat on the couch in a drunken state. He played guitar and she discussed the meaning of life while kicken back a cold one. Man, I love watching drunk people in action. That was the night, we went out, had a blast, called it a night and swirved home. Yeah...but ya got a booger.

Happy Birthday!

So ya say it's your birthday.....you know the rest of the song. Sing it to yourselves. Happy birthday to my big bro! I hope you have a great day.

Future Strippers

My weekend started off with a night of Spongebob the movie and a bucket of cookie dough and just went up from there. Saturday Irish, Angelbaby, Poohbear and I went to the park. When we got there we noticed the parking lot was blocked off, so we had to park 3 blocks away and hoof it all the way there. We saw some baby skaters(I love me a skater boy!), and watched Angelbaby and Poohbear bounce on a pole. I was just saying how Anglebaby was going to grow up to be a stripper, when Poohbear jumps on the pole. I hung my head in shame. Anyhoo, then we tried to get into the parking lot but we got stopped by Buffy collecting $15 a head to eat some chili and listen to a jam band that we could hear 3 blocks away. Yeah...good luck with that. After we drug the kids kicking and screaming from the park we went to get my hair did. Same thing only different. Sunday I sat my sorry ass on the couch while my son ate dirt from my flower pots. I realized it when he came in hacking up a root and snotting potting soil. Man, I am a great mother. I'm ashamed to even say it but maybe if I talk about it I'll change my ways. Sunday morning Poohbear woke up at 6:30....I got up at 8:30. When I walked into the livingroom, he was sucking down the last of a Mountain Dew from the night before. He just smiled and said, "I ate 1,2,3 cookies." So, while I was sleeping my baby sat by himself eating cookies and drinking old soda for breakfast. I wanted to cry. So that was my weekend. Lots of Spongebob(saw it 4 times), lots of cookies, and lots of bad parenting.

Children's Weekend

This weekend there will be no parties. That's right, no late nights, no drinking until I stumble home. Just a nice relaxing weekend with my son. We are going to watch the Spongebob movie,(thanks HD) go to the park with Irish and Angelbaby, build a fort in the livingroom and eat more cookies than either one of us need. That may sound boring to most people, but I had much rather do that every weekend than go out partying. The older I get, the more time I want to spend with my baby, just doing silly things. These days are precious and I know it will build great memories for him. Anyhoo, to all those that are going out this weekend, be careful, have fun and I'll see you all next weekend at Meet the Bloggers:Home Addition.
