A Little Loco...

Just the ramblings of a crazy Mom of two beautiful girls (and YaYa to many children that I adore) navigating through my snafu'd life. This blog is my way of 'clearing the cobwebs' and trying to maintain my sanity.

I have a chaotic life full of kids, rebuilding after our house burnt, coffee, my best girls, mornings in my breezeway, blogging, a full time job, screaming kids, laundry, remodeling, Asperger's/OCD Big'K, mowing, taking the trash out, Bipolar w/psychosis and RAD Lil'K, a crazy family, more kids thrown in the mix, bad plumbing, laughing until I pee my pants, electrical malfunctions, and everything else the Big G thinks He needs to throw at me on this ride we call life, all the while trying to survive being a single mother. Because let's face it...every day that I wake up, I am outnumbered!

Remodeling = Ulcer Part II

ok. as of this moment i have the frame for the washroom floor in. but cant put the floor on top of it until the plumber gets here next tuesday. i didnt just have to sit there idle though! yay me. today i picked up my counter tops, my sink, my faucet, four new solid wood pine doors, four door knobs, the stain and poly for the doors...i think thats is. so hopefully by tuesday my kitchen should be installed and ready to be plumbed. then my washroom can be plumbed and we can finish with the walls. yay me! i just hope its all done by august 8th. when im having my party. all i have to do now is make sure the floor will go well with the new countertops and then get a few opinions on which backsplash to put up. all of this remodeling is really stressing me out. and to top it off none of my laundry is done. i have nothing to wear to work this weekend. and i have to leave early tmw to head out to the aerosmith concert (which im not complaining about) however it cuts down my time tmw. and then i have to work. bleck. anyways. just thought i would rant a bit...


chaos didnt reign...it poured. (thanks steph)

Fighting For What We Love

in light of whats been going on in my universe both in the last week and in the last 11 years that i have been a mother...i have had to ask myself the question...is there a point that you quit fighting for what/who you love?

in my life there are some things that i think i truly loved that i let go without much of a fight. in some of those situations i really didnt have a choice. nature took over. or the big G decided i needed to head in another path. or things just didnt add up. and i had to let go of something that i didnt want to.

one thing i have to say i would never give up fighting for is my right as a mother. other things are: my children. my family. my closest friends. people that have made an impact on my life in a significant way.

in this drive to hold on to things. i have a bad habit of taking on 'causes'. people that arent as...worldly as i am. and thats not meant to sound conceited. some people freeze up in situations. some people cant think straight when confronted. people that cant get the right words out at the right time. or play the game when you dont lose but dont have to lie to win. i unfortunately have talents. they have served me well. i have friends and family that can figure these things out. but i also have friends and family that arent. right now i have someone that i feel is going to lose some very important things. she gets upset, intimidated, frustrated. and then just gives up. i am trying to help her. as much as i can. i know how to fight for what she needs to be fighting for. but i cant make her. i can only talk to her and help her. if she heeds it good. if not she will lose it. i have thought about this and thought about this and thought about this. and i have come to the conclusion that all i can do is talk. and hope she listens. tmw will be the day. i hope that the big G is with her. and helps her hear me. and understand.

there is also someone that i want to fight for in my life. a guy. i have been trying to fight for a few years. i have known him for a while. and have grown to like him. a lot. but things just keep getting in the way. i think hes someone worth fighting for. like i feel he will play a part in my life. but we will see. i wont give him a name yet. maybe in a few posts. i need to think of a good name for him. until then he will remain anonymous.

Remodeling = Ulcer

well as most of my friends know i have been in the midst of remodeling since i moved back in. we have gotten updated appliances in the kitchen, new paint on almost every wall, most of my furniture moved in, new light fixtures in most of the rooms, and a gutted totally redone bathroom. today was 'door' day. Fixer J (an old friend) hung three of my doors. they were bi-fold doors hung to open in the middle. now let me preface this by saying that NONE of my doors are 'normal' meaning they are anywhere between 30 and 32 1/4 inches. which when you are dealing with hollow doors is a pain. he did well. none of the doors are any more crooked than my house is. yay for 1940's building. we have two more to hang and then on to closing in the side porch as a laundry room. after that we still have floors to put down, a carport to fix, vent hood to hang, island to build, another coat of paint in the dining room, a backsplash to tile, two ceilings to stomp out and repaint, a TON of trim to put down...i think that may be all. but it seems the list is never ending.

growing up it seemed like we were always remodeling. that being said i have no idea how my parents managed to stay married, out of the poor house, or alive. i have only been at it for maybe six months and im already getting the acid taste in my mouth everytime i write a check to Lowe's or look at a box of nails.

as i sit here and look at my bathroom door i am reminded how lucky i am to at least be able to afford to do these chores. and i know that eventually the house will fulfill its purpose and win over my heart with is great appraisal that i am killing myself working towards. at that point i will be able to reap the rewards with my bank worth of equity.

and then...

it will start all over again with the addition!!

  • About

      Just a mom of two kids. Big K and Lil K. Who make me loco on a daily basis. I have a ton of other kids that call me 'YaYa'. They are my 'stray cats' as my great aunt refers to them. Once you start feeding them they won't go away...and apparently i'm a great cook!

      The things I say will not always make sense. I am funny. I am sarcastic. I am educated. (Sometimes I forget this and the ghettoredneckcoonass comes out. I cannot help it. Hushitup!) I am a smartass. I do not sleep a lot. I may be off color at times. I am also harmless. You may not get my style and that is not my fault. This blog is not meant to be anything other than my thoughts. What I say belongs to me and at the end of the day...it's just words. Get over yourself. If you are offended, go away. You have been warned...
