Tennis Camp and Bathtime Blunders

and my kid just farted and whizzed her sippy cup across the room cuz she is talented like me...
she is watching an episode of Little Bear, in which there was acutual kissing taking place...WTH???

We walked the oldest one down to the high school this morning for her last day of Tennis Camp. So far Gutt hasnt abused her to the point of no return yet. However he did forget to give my kid her lunch on the first day and she had to watch all the other kids eat cause "HER MOM FORGOT TO BRING HER A LUNCH" ***gasp!***I didnt forget to bring her a lunch ya fartmongers her coach for got where I put it!!

So Buster decides to loan our second vehicle out for THE WHOLE week, First day of Tennis I had to use Our Friends Mommas vechicle to transport her. She was a little embarrassed when I showed up in a lipstick red 1982 Tempo..making ugly faces as she advanced toward the car (while eating the lunch that I didnt bring her)....hey it's a Limited Sunsport Edition....kids they just dont have respect for the classics I tell ya...Back in the day when I was like me kids age that was a suh-weet ride!!

Second day of tennis Granpa decided to take her to and fro...third day my twin neices spent the night and she did not want to attend that day anyway, and today I walked with sissy in the stroller as she rode her bike...I will have to walk back to pick her up...I need the excercise anyway.

Speaking of my neices spending the night...Im not used to having two twelve year olds a seven year old and a near three year old at the same time, so needless to say they tired me out a bit. We made mexican food together, went to the park, made slushies, and rented Freedom Writers. Buster went fishing. So I went to take a bath to soak this huge scab on my leg, hoping it would fall off this time. I lit a candle, and lied there in the hot, bubbly softness of the water, and I guess I got a little comfortable...

About an hour later all I hear is LOUD giggling and screaming...I guess Aunt Jill fell asleep in the tub and was snoring louder than Buster...so I am told. And let me tell you when Buster snores, he raises the damn roof....on the other hand I NEVER snore, I guess unless I fall asleep in the water. Just a littlse scary as this is the second time this has happened to me in the last year. The last time I was at my Dads and my stepmom awoke me...

Thing is I LOVE LOVE LOVE my baths....but not enough to drown in...oh well guess i'll have to ixnay on the bathpay's for a while...phooey!

Till next time..take care of yourselves, and each other...
I mean dont let your friends and loved ones drive drunk or fall asleep in the bathtub ;-)

SNOT funny!

Well I guess it is...

As I sit her drinking a glass of homeade bathtub wine I reminisce...on Fathers Day...

All was right with the world...still is, but when we got home that night from my Dads..our Daddy had a wee bit to drink to celebrate the occasion, and spotted "Our Friend Tom's mom" across the street at her dads and invited her over 4 a beer...

WELLL...one beer turned into many, and she ended up here til 1 in the morning. Mind you Buster went to bed about 12:30 so I was left to entertain the small redheaded 50 year old lass...

We sat and drank a few brews 2gether til I suggested that she needed to fly...I was NOT about to let her littlel light ass drive home cause she was pawing at my door frame and couldnt even see 4 feet in front of her, so I drove her home which was only 3 miles from here, and her sonwas sleeping when we got to her house, I had to carry her up her apartment stairs and wake his ass up to take me home (i drove her car} he said "MOM you stay your ass here and ill be back in a few minutes" so he went to the car to wait for me....upon which she replied to me

"smy insuranse and my carrr and i gotta go wif ya"....

So I carried her back to the car in which her son was driving to go with us to take me home...the funny thing was..

She is 50 years old sitting in the back seat of her 82' Tempo waving like a little kid to me when they dropped me off....

She has been once divorced and has 3 kids and is not happy with her life and I told her...

"Woman, you have a JOB 3 beautiful kids and a vehicle...thats a lot more than I can say for some people...I just remember that puppy dog lookin face smiling at me when they dropped me off back home, and waving at me in a childlike fashion.....

Some people just dont realize what they have and to be content with it I guess is a whole different story, but there was no WAY in hell I was letting that woman drive herself home that night. She couldnt even hold onto the wall. But I love her and I hope someone does the same for me someday. Or for my kids...

Til Next time take care of yourselves, and each other ;-)
