Yep, rolling in the baby car again WOOT WOOT!!! Sweetie pie friend gifted me with a new tire!! So I am in my own car again, thank goodness. Especially since my backup vehicle was taken over. I surely didn't have the dough to replace that tire just yet. I may have had to resort to Corner's advice, if my friend hadn't forced my amazing tire gift on me. I strive every day to be as good of a friend as she is. What an absolutely unselfish, totally loving person. Good things are coming to you, girlfriend, I promise you that!!!!
I cut up part of an apple and added it to my oatmeal this morning along with the cinnamon. Whoo dawgies, that was good!!!
So I teased Mister Wonderful last night about not appreciating the things I do for him, because he didn't comment on the soup or sandwich I tried out for dinner last night. Jokingly said "you don't even appreciate me cooking for you, or any of the things I do for you" to which he responded "appreciation is why you have a dog, he appreciates you and thinks you are the most amazing thing in the world, and thats why you work with your boyfriend too, Casanova is all about being nice to you, I'm just not that kind of guy" he said all of this smiling. This is the bizarre life I am living right now. My husband is HAPPY that someone else is taking care of the pesky things he doesn't want to be bothered with, like being sweet to me and making me happy. Fu*king BIZZARRO!!!
Of course, he mentions women he has interest in as well. Man how our relationship has changed. At least I don't have to feel guilty for working towards building the life I want. I still DO feel guilty, but I don't HAVE to.
Papoose #2 decided to surprise MW by cleaning the house and mopping the floors while I cooked dinner last night. She was buzzing around that house and cleaning like a mad woman, trying to get it all done before he got home from work. I jumped in helping her here and there in between dinner stuff, we were really rocking the team work.
When he finally walked in the door, the first thing he did was grab some laundry and head to the laundry room, and when he saw that Papoose #2 had a load of her clothes in the washer he started yelling at her to switch her f*cking laundry over. He stood there screaming that over and over till she got in there to switch it. I told him repeatedly that the load had JUST finished before he walked in, and give her a damn second to get up there from the back of the house where she was sweeping. Jerk.
Whenever ANYTHING in life ticks him off, or he has a bad day, or anything goes wrong in any way, he takes it out fully on the kids and I. Jackass. I finally told him "you know what, assh*le??? That kid in there was so excited to surprise you with a spotless house, and all you did was yell at her and treat her like something you scrape off your shoe. That right there is one of the reasons you will end up a lonely old man" Man was I pissed off. Papoose #2 shrugged it off well and kept a smile on her face as she and I proceeded to enjoy our evening, our dinner, and our clean house :)
I freaking HATE that he is such a sh*tty father, but on the other hand, I am so grateful that both of my daughters have learned at a young age not to take sh*t from sh*tty people. Both of them have already shown their strength in different situations with other people, boyfriends etc, by not letting ANYONE treat them crappy. Thank God. They are strong women NOW. It took me 40 years to learn how to be strong. That is the most embarrassing thing in the world.
But damn I raised some awesome kids. They are my finest accomplishment.

No coffee today. So far so good.
Have to admit, it wasn't purely by choice. I had to have a fasting blood draw done, so nothing but water from midnight till 9 this morning when I went to get drawn. Boy is the doc lucky I have been slowly cutting back on the caffeine over the past couple of weeks, huh? He could have had a real h*ll b*tch on his hands, otherwise!!
I love my birks, but I sure am ready for a pedi and some flip flops. I'm jonesing.
Anyone of my three readers that missed it, you have GOT to read the comment Corner left for me. Absolute genius. Love it!!!!
I don't have much to offer today folks. Busy and incredibly drug out and tired. Sorry.
Papoose #1 will be home this weekend though, that's fab!!! She's showing some friends horses at the Stock Show. I can't wait to hug her!!
LabPup has mastered the 'sit' and 'wait' commands I use when I am getting ready to feed him. Good boy, LabPup.
Mister Wonderful has announced that if he can get enough money together, he is moving to Panama. No, not in Florida. At the canal. He says the unemployment rate is only like 4%. I think someone lied to him. Besides, I've LIVED in Panama, and I'm sorry, but thieving, drug running and hooking can't possibly be considered official employment. I told him he could stop by and visit when he was in the U.S. He insisted I'm going with him. I informed him that it would would be a case of over HIS dead body, not mine. Narf.
Papoose #2 is mad at me because I won't let her go to Nicaragua on a mission trip with her church. Be pissed all you want, little girl, not happenin' on my watch.
There was an evil bungee cord in the road on the way in to work this morning. Right where there was no way to go around it on either side, had to straddle the evil thing. *shudder* Had to drive back over it on the way to and from the doc's office too. Sheeeiiitttee....
I know, I know.......therapy.

Good Thoughts For Papoose #1
Papoose #1 is in college. She took every dual credit class she was allowed to during her junior and senior years of high school, and is a sophmore now, her first year actually in college.
Affording this education has been incredibly tough on her, even with loans etc. I am so very proud of her. I have been almost no help to her on anything to do with her schooling. I never attended college, and was no help to her on the application process of it, and financially there is very little I can do for her just yet as well. Just about the only thing I did for her was give her a car. Thats it, other than that, she's carrying the ball the whole hundred yards.
So she is literally working her way through college. She takes oodles of course hours and still works to support herself, pay her school loans, feed herself, maintain her car, buy clothes and everything else. She works as a waitress, but she also is a fantastic photographer and extremely talented, so makes some money doing side jobs of photo shoots for people. Strictly word of mouth, and she has managed to support herself with it. Yeah, she's THAT good.
Everybody loves her. She has always had the most beautiful soul and a personality that just draws people to her. She funny and sweet, incredibly intelligent, and so creative that I just don't know where that even came from. She is athletic and determined and outgoing. She is the type of girl I always wanted to be, but never knew how.
She has been going through numerous interview, classes and preparation for months now, vying for an Residential Leader (like a college level hall monitor/house mother) position. If she is selected, it will cover room and board as well as offer her an office position there at the college, where she is not only encouraged, but expected to bring her homework and studies in to work with her. This would be a blessing for her in so many ways. Monetarily, of course, but also in the fact that if she gets a job on campus, she can get more study time in while working, instead of waiting tables for hours on end and then going home and studying. Today she goes in for the final interview, the big time. She is as nervous as you can even imagine.
Anyhow, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, if you have a minute. She is an amazing person, and is working hard to become a productive part of our society. She has grown into an incredible person, despite my less than stellar parenting. I've been so blessed to be allowed to share my life with someone like her. God really did me a good turn on that. She is one of the good ones.
I Hope You Dance has been 'our' song since it was released. It's how I've always felt about her, and the attitude I've taken in raising her.l
