Farts on a plane!

Someone is farting on plane! Why do I always end up next to these people? I'm a plane farter magnet!

45 minutes until l land back in GA.

I hope I can get up from seat. There is a verra, verra large SPonge Bob shaped woman who has been squashing me for the entire flight!

End of the World!

Trapped! Trapped, you hear me?! It hasn't snowed in Atlanta on Christmas in over 100 years and now that it has - there is no way of escaping today with the hills+ice in our neighborhood and I am OUT. OF. COFFEE!!!

We Must have left the real Zoe at Nana's house because I don't know WHO this little girl is in the back seat!

On the way back from celebrating Christmas with Nana with 3 cranky and tired Oompa Loompas. Glad I'm not the one driving!

It's December?

Let me tell you lovies - I don't know where the hell November went but it's now almost Christams!

Not only is it almost Christmas but those 3 leetle cheeldren of mine are now out of school until after the New Year!  At least Slim Daddy is back home so once he gets home from work he can help with the madness that is sure to come.

I've been pretty bah-humbug this Christmas Season (YES! I said CHRISTMAS instead of Holiday Season!)  So report me to the PC police. Finally got the house decorated and most of the xmas shopping done.  Instead of fighting the craziness of going into stores I just decided to do most of my shopping online.  YAY! I avoided the crazies!

Zoe won the School Spelling Bee, Zaney has become addicted to the Wii and needs weehab for it and Micah-Vance is collecting found objects to make a robot.  Or a supercomputer, or perhaps a robot with a supercomputer brain.  One never knows what he's going to be drawing plans up for!

December has been so busy I'm looking forward to the white noise quiet beginning of the New Year.  That and sleeping in while the kidlets are out of school!

It's so mysterious!

How I manage every night to sleep on the edge of the bed with one butt cheek hanging off and without falling is a mystery to me. All 3 kids + Cochino+Sherlock are in my bed tonight!

Zoe's New Painting

Zoe had to enter the PTA 'Reflections' contest (it was made mandatory for 5th graders.)  Theme was 'Together We Can Make a Difference' - this is what she came up with.  Canvas is 16x20.  NO I did not draw the faces! lol  I've already been accused of it but she did it on her own.

Out of House and Home

WHAT is up with the way these Oompa Loompas can eat?  Without even gaining any weight?  I LOOK at a carb and my arse grows at least 2 inches wider!!

I have been making tons of food today to hopefully get them through the weekend! I try to do it on the weekends but since they've been out of school this week the snacks have gone faster than usual.  Maybe they have a tape worm or something.  Yessssss, that *must* be it.  They have tape worms!!

Oh Gawd . . .

What a mess!  Frecklestein found some mud in the back yard and decided to roll around in it.  You can hardly see the white on him he's so dirty. 

Looks like the kids will be giving him a bath and cleaning up his mess on the back deck.  There isn't ANYTHING he won't eat.  Chair pads, brooms, tennis balls, twigs, toilet paper, crayons, pens, pencils, Legos,...........

Is it really so bad?

Is it really so bad that I find it highly amusing to terrorize Slim Daddy?

A Ghoulie Goil has to have *some* fun you know!

Where is the admitting office?

The Oompa Loompas are off this week for a 'fall break'. Just admit me to the asylum now.

Oh wait. I *already* live in the asylum!

Tired of waiting.

I have just given the kids 20 minutes to pick up what they don't want me to throw away. This includes their crapolah from their bedrooms, the living room and dining room.

A Bit Crowded

Since I am the Queen of the entire Empire (in my mind at least) it's only fitting that I have a queen size bed.

Right now all 3.5 kidlets are in my bed. I'm hoping that I have at least 1/2 inch to stretch out on when I go to bed!

Remember all the people who slept in the one bed in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

That should give you some sort of idea what it is like!

The Ghosts Strike Again

Verrrryy suspicious.  It seems that the brand new bottle of laundry detergent has just POOF!  Grown legs and taken off, nowhere to be found.

I asked the Oompa Loompas about it and they all had that look as if I was speaking a foreign language.  I suppose the Ghosts from the Cemetery needed clean clothes and used it all up.

Guess I'll have to go and buy another bottle of detergent so that the missing one will show up!

If the kids won't go to sleep SOON . . . .

I will have no choice but to release my flying monkeys to read the little children a bed-time story. 

eeee heeee heeeee!!!

Out to dinner with the Oompa Loompas. (oh gawd please don't let them embarrass me!!)

Zoe's Crazy Foot

Zoe hurt her foot on 8/23.  It was a severe sprain and bruise on her ankle bone.  After x-rays and more x-rays the doctor couldn't figure out what was going on since it hasn't felt better, but gotten worse.  She's been on crutches for almost 3 weeks now, not able to put any weight on her foot.

Yesterday we went to the orthopedic and he immediately knew what was wrong with her foot.  It seems that when she injured it a 'syndrome' was triggered called RSD/CRPS.  RSD is now referred to as 'Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.'  It's brought on by fractures, sprains and tissue damage and basically the central nervous system is all discombobulated and her pain is extreme instead of getting better as time goes on.

Here's the short version of what it is:

Here's the longer, more detailed version:

She's so stubborn - getting her to use that foot when it hurts is not going to be easy.  I'd have better luck tattooing myself with my eyes closed.  *sigh*

No Pinching Allowed.

Zane and Micah-Vance were arguing tonight.  After going back and forth like loons, Micah-Vance decided to whip out the lobster pinching fingers of his and pinch Zane so hard that he lost his breath.

I *could* have just pinched him back.  If I did that, then I'd feel like crap and all guilty for pinching him.  Why should I feel bad for his naughtiness?  Instead  I made Micah-Vance write 25 times, "I will not pinch Zane."

Definitely much better than yelling at or pinching him back. By the time they're all grown up - I'll have enough pages for a novel!

Diabolical Oompa Loompas

The Oompa Loompas are not only trying to make me jump into the mouth of madness, but they are aging meeeeeee!!!!!!  Soon I will look like Miz Baby Jane and they'll lock me in the basement feeding me only dry cereal with weevils in it and give me coffee with curdled cream to drink!
