My Rebirth

So..................................... my last post "Stay Tuned" was like almost 2 years ago. Some of you have wondered where I have been. Some of you probably had visions of me sitting on a park bench with a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20, popping Ativan like Tic-Tacs, hair not brushed and mumbling about Mercede hiding my shoes. Course a few of you would be thinking that I have taken all this time off to finish those dishes that Child Husband was always leaving me. Which would be near to the truth since one of the reasons I haven't blogged in so long was due to Child Husband. Let me rephrase that..............EX Child Husband. Yes I am finally down to four children. One less mouth to feed. Can I get a "Hell Yeah!!" You know I would never sit and whine about it , that wouldn't be me. Now bitching that is another story.

In June EX Child Husband moved out and then filled for divorce, by Aug 24th we were divorced. The 60 day divorce! Life in the fast lane. Ex Child Husband is engaged again, which is a very entertaining story but not mine to share email me and I'll tell you ;)

Here is what the rest of us have been up to...

We got to visit with my son Chris this summer! I hadn't seen him for four years. We had a great visit and ate some Mexican Spice Larvae!



Mercede is still obnoxious, who would she be if she wasn't!

Cheyenne is still flirting, she recently had a MU basketball player sign her shoulder! I'm glad she hasn't watched Rock Of Love or she might of had him sign something else.

Aysha is obsessed by Justin Bieber, pray for me! She is only 6 ya know!

As for me, I decided I will only date older men. Older than Ex Child Husband that is!


It's almost winter time and I'm going to be enjoying alot of laughter. You see Ex Child Husband sold his car and bought a scooter. I can't wait to see him riding this through the snow to work.

I pee my pants just thinking about it.

FRIDAY FRAGMENTS

____________________________________________________________________________________


On Monday, Mercede's teacher called me because she wondered why Mercede was saying "I'm going to go home and smoke cigarettes." over and over... Hmmmmmmmm WHY could that be????
____________________________________________________________________

What do you get when you cross some electrical cords, electrical tape, Styrofoam cooler and a thermostat?

I'm not sure, but I will let you know when ,MacGyver Child Husband gets done with it. As long as it doesn't end up like his project with the pvc piping, flashlights and mini cam.
____________________________________________________________________


Cheyenne probably feels negleted that I don't post about her much. But that is cause she is the "good" one. Except for 6 days out of each month.
____________________________________________________________________________________

The 18th was my son Christopher's 25th Birthday. I haven't seen him in over 2 1/2 years. He lives in Ohio with his birth mom. My girls and I miss him and need to make a road trip to see him.
____________________________________________________________________________________

Yesterday I stopped by the Pennies in My Pocket blog and bought $150 worth of certificates to some great restaurants for only $12 dollars. That sale ended yesterday and I almost missed it because I stopped by her blog so late. I've got to remember to hit this blog early everyday cause I'm going to be eating good the next two months :)
UPDATE: Sale on gift certificates now ends on Monday.
____________________________________________________________________________________

I lost three pounds last week, but then Child Husband brought home Krispie Creme donuts and I ate 5 of them in 12 hours.

Please don't tell my peeps at

Today, Friday, Mercede came home from school with this shirt, I think her teacher is trying to make a point!





____________________________________________________________________________________

I think tomorrow, I should get rid of my puking pumpkin. I don't think he will be with us by Thanksgiving. What do you think?

My BAD Girl, Mercede

Remember this photo of Mercede from August, with the cigarette package she had found?




Well, Mercede has this thing for people in wheelchairs and also people on oxygen. She is drawn to them and always has to talk to them. I think she is a wheelchair magnet since I have always worked with people in wheelchairs. The oxygen thing, probably because she has been on it quite a few times.

Anywho, we were in Wal-Fart yesterday and an elderly lady in a motorized scooter and on oxygen, passes by us. Of course Mercede has to go up to her and ask her about her O2. The lady says "You know how I got on this oxygen? Smoking! Your not going to smoke are you?"

Course Mercede responds with, "Yeah, I'm going to SMOKE!"

FRIDAY FRAGMENTS

My new bumper magnet must be working. It says "Sorry Officer, I thought you wanted to race" Because so far all the cops behind me haven't pulled me over. Even though I was speeding and also my tailight was out. I tried sticking my hand out the window and making handsigns, even though I can't remember which driving siganl means I am turning right. So I just tried to finger spell it in ASL.

*************************************************************************************

My father finally worked up the courage to post a comment on my blog. His ID was Skifeet (don't ask). Now after all these months of lurkdom, I wonder if I can persuade him to open his own blog he can post his own naked pictures
*************************************************************************************

I got into my only pair of jeans again. Yes, I had a HUGE muffin top, but that is beside the point. Tomorrow I start a one week adventure of going vegetarian. Child Husband is fixing my favorite meat dish as we speak, the jerk!
*************************************************************************************

I've had no calls about Mercede's bad behavior at school this week. But maybe that is cause they are sending it home on notes now.
*************************************************************************************

NikkiCrumpet is giving away a Fab signed George Clooney photo, unfortunately skank Heather is trying to undermind me by paying or threatning others to comment on her behalf. Feel free to go over and tell Nikki how I deserve George each comment on my behalf, will earn 100 dollars
*************************************************************************************
Tomorrow, I'm going to have to put on the gloves and do those dishes :(

Mercede, Mercede, Mercede (said to the tune of Marsha, Marsha, Marsha)

Why do you feel the need to put on your coat and back pack over your pajama's, while watching TV?

And why do you insist on wearing shoes that are over three years old?

Aysha, why won't you wear clothes in the house? And why are you laying under the cushion of that NASTY, UGLY sofa, your father picked up off the curb of a neighbors home ?

Child husband, please do the dishes! I decided I will not do them. I did fill the water for you (added half beach since I know your allergic to it). I'm going to add more bleach everyday til you do them!

The Pumpkin Festival from H...................................

Saturday, my only day partially off. I say partially because I am still on pager, and I get at least six calls from my staff on Saturdays. Today I slept in and then while I was still in my undies (I knew you would want that information) I emailed Rhea a few times about the trip my family were going to take to the Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival. We finally got on the road and were two miles outside Hartsburg at 1pm. AT 2pm, we were still two miles outside Hartsburg. Mercede was throwing a fit in the back of the car. I had Cheyenne and Aysha spraying her with their squirt water bottles, as I couldn't reach her myself. We finally hit Hartsburg right before 3pm. Then I saw the population sign, I was scared. This town puts on a festival that has thousands of people that attend and THIS is their population.....



I did find out why it took two hours to move 2 miles, look at the detour they had us go thru..



We finally hit the festival and I spot a pumpkin snow man. So cute..



Then we have to drive thru, yes thru the festival!! Do you know how long it takes to move thru all these people walking in front of you?



Then I finally find a parking place next to the corn field and Children of the Corn scenes race thru my mind. I wait a few minutes in my car, to make sure Malachai doesn't pop out at us.



We have only two hours to spend at the festival because it ends at 5pm. It was two hours too long!lol Mercede was on a roll, and I had to call my husband to tell him I might have to sacrifice Mercede to "He Who Walks Behind the Rows". Mercede got lucky as I never ran into Isaac. We did find some pumpkins. Mercede had some choice words when she found out I wasn't going to carry one of them back to the car.



Their were some interesting sights to see like this dog, his name is Cajun (bet you couldn't figure that out)



Oh and they had funnel cakes, wait it gets better they had funnel cakes with lots of bavarian creme on top. I wanted to snap a picture, I really did, but we ate it too quick but I did snap this photo of Aysha with some traces of it on her.



Ok, so it wasn't all bad, I found these crafts, and I took the lady's card, so now my family will know what they are getting for Christmas (the lady's card, ha ha).



After Mercede and I wrestled near the Baptist Church (I was just trying to baptist her), we decided it was time to head home, well that and the fact it was 5pm. I noticed that we must of missed Malachai, as he had left some marks of his sickle in this pumpkin next to the corn field.



As we are pulling out of the corn field, we are made to detour to a country road. Then it ends and their are two ways to take, no directions on either way. Cars in front of me turn both ways, so I choose right. A car going the opposite way flags me down and ask if I know how to get to the highway. I was going to ask them the same. So after I go that way awhile, I turned around and went the other way, and then I turned around again and headed back the way I started.... and then I turned again, cause I stopped someone whom knew where to go. I traveled on this back road to "no where" forever. I can't see anything from the dust.



Then there was this bridge, yikes, are their words..



I really thought that this was going to be like those movies of them small towns that lure tourist to their deaths. But we did make it home. I stopped at Wal-Mart to buy Mercede a pumpkin to stuff her in, I also got a picture of the crafts the girls picked out. I had to take the photo by my favorite spider Bert. Bert is only one of the few hundred spiders that have taken over our home.

The Pumpkin Festival from H...................................

Mercede takes on Richard Simmon's

Mercede was a huge Barney fan while growing up. Needless to say, a mom can only take so much. So I banned her from Barney. Mercede was so upset that she went thru all my video's looking for something she liked. Then in the corner cabinet, under five inches of dust, she found Dancing to the Oldies. For the next few years Mercede worked out with Richard every single day. During the summer she worked out 3 hours a day, while I laid on the sofa eating chocolate and cheese curls shouting "Go Mercede! Go Mercede!" She was his biggest fan........well okay, probably his smallest (wink, wink).

To cut a long story short. I pulled Mercede from school so she could attend a Woman's Conference in our home town that Richard Simmon's was going to be at. Surrounded by hundreds of large women (me being one of them), little, tiny, skinny Mercede worked out with them/us. She was near the front of the stage and Richard called her up on stage. Mercede is so happy to meet him! Oh Look at her face. When she does that mouth open, eye's rolled up toward heaven look, you know that she is on super excitement mode.



He pulls her to the front of the stage, and then Mercede lost it. She slapped him away. While we didn't get THAT photo, we did get the priceless look on his face after it happened.




If you ever meet Mercede, she will tell you her version of the story. It goes something like this......

"I slapped Richard Simmon's and made him cry."

While she did slap Richard, and while he did cry. It isn't a whole truth, since he was crying on stage about 15 minutes before she slapped him. But hey, her version makes for a better story.

Awareness

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. I thought I would post some pictures of my girls when they were younger,as I don't have time to do anything else! lol

I also want to say that this is also National Breast Cancer Awareness month. I'm very fortunate to not know very many people affected by this. I do have one bloggy friend whom is a survivor. Give Kris a shout out, she deserves it!

I'm Alive!!!

Yes, Mercede is okay. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. She hasn't had anymore spells and actually the only reason she wouldn't be okay now is for doing this mess..







This is what happens when Mercede has nothing to do. School was out last Friday and I had a 10 hour work day and Child Husband was home with the kids. This only happens this bad when Child Husband is not watching the kids. Mercede took everything out of her closet, everything out of drawers and anything else that was around. She can't stand to leave pillow cases on pillows and even went into my room and took mine off, as I can see them in this picture. So I would say that Mercede is feeling fine and that prozac isn't really affecting her that much! lol

In other news, I have been gone over a week because I had some mad days at work, then my internet company had some issues and it took them over three days to fix the problem. I just haven't had time to get on the computor. I did check my email a few times at the office but was out of time for anything else.

Good news is that Ben left the hospital a few days ago! Thank you so much for all your prayers. He is done with his chemo and still needs many prayers as there are still so many challenges that he could face. Aysha was running up to everyone in the store telling them how God had healed Ben. It is the best news ever!

My SIL Scott could use your prayers, we just got a call tonight that she was in the hospital. Her arm and face were going numb and her blood pressure super high. I was just in her town on Saturday and took these pictures with her kids.

This is 9 month old Ireland getting a bath. Look at them eyes.



This is the coolest tree. The kids all loved it.



My BIL Devin says he is riding a rhinoceros.


Last is a picture I took last week of Scott with her two youngest kids she pops out kids like a rabbit , she was having a hard time holding them. I should of made her hold all three at one time.



I've got a super busy work week and I'm going to try catching up with everyone when I can. Again, thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

I'm Alive!!!
