What A Happy Sunday

I had a really good day today. I hung out with "the women".. You know who you are.. I got a REALLY cool watch today ( only because I took it from my sister and bought it ).. I know - I'm bad- But hey- Its not like she wont have it in 6 months anyway..So There ! I like how I justify my actions..Dont you? Anyway.. Today was beautiful, Old Town Spring is so nice to walk around in.. The wind blowing, the trees shedding there leaves everywhere.. It really felt like Fall today.. I just enjoyed being with " The girls".. It was really nice to be with people you can laugh with and be yourself with.. we must do it again !!! Thanks for the great day.. p.s. I'm taking your credit J .. It doesn't count- I had already left.. Hee hee

Questionnaire...

Ok, so I sent a silly how well do you know me??? Email to my Mom's boyfriend.. His responses made me laugh so hard- I had to share them.. To know Mike is to love him.. Enjoy: My Name is SWEETIE PIE. This is how well I know Deana We met at markie's house on Easter. I would guess your middle name is Kay, because you look like Danny Kaye. You only believe in God during extreme emergencies. During all other times you worship the Magic penis. I have known you entirely too long. Yes you smoke as well as burn. I think we all do. My first impression of you is exactly the same as my last impression of you. Since you are the stepchild you are EVERYONE'S WORST NIGHTMARE when you are mad, and a joy when you are happy. The eye in the back of your head is green, while the eye in the front of your head is hazel. Yes you have many siblings, but you just don't know all of them. One of your favorite things to do is to bust balls. You are very good at it, and I believe you may have earned an honorary PHD. The first thing you said to me is that Michael was a crummy name because of your many previous husbands had the same name. In truth you came to realize that all Michaels are great. You pretend that you like hip hop, but you really love country music because because all your ex's live in Texas. You have so many good features that it is absolutely impossible to come up with the best one. Thank God one of my best features is being able to blow smoke up someone's ass when need be. You are as shy as Kozmo when he humps his bed. Rebels often ask their friends if they are a Deana or do they follow the rules. My favorite memory of you was the poster I made of you sticking out your tongue asking golfers if you could clean their balls. As far as special talents, only Marty and perhaps your previous 9 husbands know for sure. Friends are often a pain in the ass so I guess you are a friend. Deaner Deaner the wiener cleaner is the only nickname that fits according to members of the family. If we were stranded on a desert island you would have to bring a boat so I could get the hell out of there.

Thanksgiving

Well it seems turkey day is upon us.. I'm happy for the holiday, I need a break... Although I'm saddened by the thought of not seeing my mom , niece, or sister, or brother. It sucks. Mom's in Oklahoma, Katie and Kaylee are on an army post in Tennessee, my bros in Iraq.. What they say is true.. Absence does make the heart grow fonder.. I'm thankful to have 2 loving homes to go to for the holiday... I'm looking forward to Italian Wedding soup at my mother in laws ( yes I love my mother in law- I know its rare ) I'm also looking forward to eating way to much at my grandma's. Banana pudding here I come ! The house has been soo quiet, Hailey is at her birth sponsors for the week.I can only imagine the fun she's having there.. Yeah right.. Although I made sure to pack her favorite loud sponge bob toy for her and everyone else's enjoyment : ) Anyway, I miss all of you sooo much, I cant wait to see my sis and niece for x-mas. I plan on driving them back home and seeing my mom on the way. Come on December !!! I hope everyone's holiday is great ! Gobble Gobble !!!!

" A picture says a thousand words "

This is a picture of my brother in Iraq..

" You Go Girls "

"Daddy's at Work "

As many of you know, my brother is in Iraq right now, for the 2nd time I might add... While I agree that Sadam's rule needed to end, I often wonder at what cost.. I never really knew the impact on peoples lives that are in the military until my brother joined the Army and was deployed for the first time.. Everyday we all hope for the best. We all hope that they will come home safe. My heart breaks everytime I hear my sister cry for her husband. My heart breaks every time my 3 yr old niece gets on the phone and says " daddy's at work ". They both miss him terribly.. I cant imagine the worry they both go through on daily basis. I have the utmost appreciation for not only our soldiers- but their family's that are left to worry for up to a year at a time..They are the ones living for our country- The family's are the backbone of the soldiers. You think your week, you think your alone, you have no family around you, you ache for them to return, yet your there to support them, and you sacrifice everything to be with them. So in short.. Thank you not only to you Daniel for fighting for our country and the betterment of the people of Iraq, but thank you Katie for being a strong enough person to endure what I think I could not. Your strength and your love will guide Kaylee into becoming a beautiful , strong, loving woman one day- And your husband will never doubt he is loved..This is your job.. This is what you are here for.. This is your purpose. This YOU COMPLETE on a daily basis..No matter what anyone says.. I Love you, and I'm very very proud of you..Your are stronger than you know...

Phonecalliss Interruptus

Ok, so Im neurotic... I was supposed to hang out with one of my sisters today.. But I couldn't.. So I kept trying to call, again, and again.. Finally.. she sends me a text message...Whew !!! She's not pissed at me.. So I send her a text back saying..call me asap.. She Finally calls.. I say- what the hell are you doing? Why wouldn't you answer your phone? She says-- "Well if you must know, I've been having sex with a really cute guy.. but YOU keep calling !!! " Ooooh hell.... Oops !!! If she wasn't mad at me before.... :) p.s. The sister I'm referring to will remain anonymous... ;)

Road Trip

TODAY SUCKED - BADLY

I SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED IN BED ALL DAY TODAY.. My day starts out with a conference with the step daughters teacher.. Boy was that enlightening.. She's been playing us all like a fiddle.. OOOh sure she's doing her home work every night.. Little did we know. She was doing one page of homework when she's had 4 or 5.. This has been going on for 12 weeks now???When asked why she only did one page of her homework every week instead of all of it.. The answer I get is simple- I didn't want to do it.. And she knew she could get away with it for awhile.. AUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE BEING LIED TO WITH A PASSION.. Moreover I hate being played for a fool.. Buy hey.. Why wouldn't a 9 yr old try it?? I don't blame her, I was 9 once as well... To top it all off, her "birth sponsor" informs me that she WILL NOT discipline the child at all for bad grades in school- because she only sees her 2 times a month- and we are her parents... What the hell???? Of course coming from someone with a 7th or 8th grade education.. I shouldn't be surprised..at all.. I never ever imagined this job was going to be this hard.. I feel like all Im doing is fighting an uphill battle sometimes..I'm starting to think that my daughter ( yes mine ) Im raising her--- im starting to think that I will be forced to do what I haven't wanted to do..and that's totally get he "birth sponsor " out of her life for awhile. She and or "it" is bringing nothing but detriment to this child's future and her mental health.. I'm calling my lawyer in the morning.. and I cant continue to fight her " birth Sponsor ". So I'm picking to win the war... So the rest of my day goes as follows: My boss quits, his jackass boss shows up, he rides my ass all day, then hands me my "incentive " for the quarter- wick is a damn joke.. Im 115% OVER my goal for 2005, and he's giving me shit??? I think he should go sexually harass another Rep like he likes to do- ooh and get stupid drunk in front of his entire staff.. and get off my back..I'm pretty much disgusted with everything right now.. Like I said- I should have stayed in bed all day... Here's hoping tomorrow goes better... Until then..

Quote for the Day..

When people walk away from you, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

I thought this was worth sharing

Woman to Woman Encouragement Someone will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their partners will fix more things around the house. So let it go and love you and your circumstances. Think about it. The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. The richest woman you know - she's got the car, the house, the clothes - might be heartbreakingly lonely. So, love you. Love who you are right now. Tell yourself, "I am too blessed to be stressed." Be blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman. "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world." Send this to wonderful strong women you know. I did. Possibilities and miracles are one and the same. -Anonymous
