do you have people in your life who at some point, you truly considered them "a good friend", and now you have no idea what or who they are? I'm not really sure if this happens more now since the invention of things like Twitter and Facebook and MySpace(do people still even use that one?). it seems like you can find just about anyone on those sites and sometimes, you wish maybe you hadn't clicked on that last "search" button.
I keep up with some of these people, moreso for my own curiosity to try to find out wth happened to them. I've given them my own names.
"God Strippergirl"
someone I once knew as a strongly Christian, family oriented woman is now...a stripper and I think a drug addict. no mention of family anywhere on her site, even though I knew her husband and 2 children.
"Clueless as Ever"
this person's husband has cheated on her. I know because he tried to convince me that I was missing out on something spectacular in his pants. the wife then blaimed me and has called me "toxic". he is now screwing someone at his place of work. and the wife continues to tell everyone and anyone who will listen that she has the greatest marriage in the world.
"Little Mermaid"
think about that song, A Whole New World. this chick has done a complete 360 on life and has dumped everyone who did not immediately jump on the "you're great! you're the bestest eva!" bandwagon. on a side note, she blocked all of those people so now, I really have no idea wth is going on with her. she's not loosing any sleep over it, so I will not either.
"the Eff Man"
this guy, he uses the eff word as much as he possibly can in any post he makes. even if the eff word doesn't really "go" with the post...he can make it fit. he can be talking about a day at the beach, a cuddly bunny, a cold can of beer. the eff word makes numerous visits to his site. and then he adds some nonsensical run-on sentences off and on that makes me wonder where he got his weed from. cuz surely somebody added a little somethin somethin to it to make him think that talking about how much he needs a woman is attractive at all in his actual search for a female companion in life.
"holier than thou all of you, damnit"
this chick....wow. I know THINGS about this chick that would make her holy water jump the freak out of its container and run, screaming like a banshee, away from her. yet in this new life of hers, she is a Bible quoter. a person who prays for everything. I mean, like she prays for EVERYTHING. if you chip a nail, she'll drop and say a rosary for ya. just a tad annoying to hear how her power of prayer is all that is needed to "fix" any problem that she may come upon.
OK, so all of this is not saying that I am without fault. of course I have faults. I try my best to be a good person and a good friend. one thing I have learned is that women do not really want to know that their husband is a leech eating scum sucker creep. they'd be much happier with their little blinders on and continue thinking he's great.
and if you block me from your shit, I can still see it. that's how awesome it is to have a computer programmer for a neighbor who gets a giggle out of hacking.
EDITED TO ADD~ if you are reading this, it's not you that I am talking about. none of the people that I am referring to are aware of this blog. so relax. if I have something to say to you, I would say it to you...not starting any fights via blogville.

Little #3 is 3 today!!!
Luke...the child that won the war against birth control and became my third child....turns 3 today :)
Finding out I was pregnant with a third child was not exactly a happy day for me. I had already wrapped my head around the fact that we had two beautiful children, a boy and a girl, and that was our family. We were done and happy and complete.
Boy, was I wrong!
His birth not only put me through the most emotionally draining and stress and grief of my life, but he has brought so much laughter and joy to our home... God knows what He's doing after all.
Luke at 1 day old (sorry it's smaller)
Luke at 2, lounging
Luke today :)
So, Good Friday to you all, I have a birthday party to plan:)

April Fools!
nope, she is not dead. she hasn't been abducted and dropped off on the side of the road in the Everglades to become alligator brunch. (OK, so I liked Nip/Tuck and thought that episode was absolutely brilliant and hope that if I am ever in that sitch I will have a friend to help me lift the body out of the trunk. wink wink)
speaking of Nip/Tuck. it's done. [insert sad face] and please tell me I am not the only person who was praying for a return of the Carver to slice and dice his/her/its way through Hollywood and go out with a bang??????
but no, it ended at the dinner table. and an airport. boo hiss.
that actor who played Matt kinda creeps me out. he looks so clownish. and that has nothing to do with make-up application. anything that looks like a clown is repulsive to me. that assclown from Stephen King's "It".....gave me the shakes for weeks. anyways, that Matt....he was gay, killed a Dad, found out that his Dad was really Christian and not Sean, knocked up a methy porn star, had a beautiful baby girl, and left the show with a fellow wierdish looking woman who is obsessed with beautiful children.
put a clown wig on this dude and voila.....hello Sparkles the Clown
other shows I am somewhat following include:
Real Housewives....any city will do, these women are fascinating to me
Ghost Hunters....LOVE those Roto Rooter men. lots. and Steve and Tango...umph
Vampire Diaries...they're cute
19 Kids and Counting...because it could be that kind of Hell. no matter how horrid my day was, I do not have 19 children and that thought can make me feel better.
V...there's just something about lizard looking mouse eating aliens that is entertaining
so, there you have it. my update. I will not promise to write dailey. but, I will be here more often now that life has quieted down a bit and honestly, I miss blogging.
I will update on me and life also, not just on TV shows. and movies about vampires. but trust me, there will be mentions of sparkling blood drinkers now and then. my daughter has Edward on her wall right now. she mentioned maybe getting jacob as well. I shuddered and gasped and when I came to, she said OK, I was joking.
love that girl!

Christmas wrapped up!
no, the decorations are still up...most of them, anyways! I am leaving that job until I go back to work, so the man can have that special enjoyment of the season and box things up that no longer properly fit into said boxes.
Christmas......was nice.
Santa came through in a big way and the kids got a trampoline! they had to wait a few days in order to use it, because the man pulled a huge idiot move.
guess what? Christmas is December 25. yeah...not exactly "news", right? well, apparently, he forgot. yes, you read that right. he forgot Christmas. and New Years. he gets to put in for what days off he wants, and he has seniority where he works, so whatever days he asks for, he gets. easy. he ended up working Christmas Eve until 5PM. was useless on Christmas Day. and he is working NYEve until 6PM, and working NY Day all day as well. so the trampoline just got put together yesterday.
kids are out of school. I'm off work. yah, great "family time" planning there, honey.
OK, onto a very serious subject that I just learned about this year. have you heard of these personalized calenders? you upload pictures(usually of your children, but whatever...I'm not picky)and you create a calender for your loved ones.
went over really well except for the one person who I thought would love it. my mother. her first words, once she did a quick looksie, was this..."where's my birthday?"
umm, if the calender if FOR YOU, don't you know when your own birthday is already? I put all of your grand children's birthdays on it. you know, with pictures of them? it's not a "Grandma" calender. if you want a damn calender all about yourself, then go to shutterfly and make it.
I have a lot of tension with my mother lately. she promised to take my daughter for a Mother/daughter function with Daisies for me. I had to work and could not get out of it. she said sure, fine, would love to. then, she tells me 2 days before the event that she is going to be out of town that day, so can we do it another time? umm, no. no, we cannot do it another day. because, you see, that would involve me changing 20 other people's plans and rearranging a dance performance that tickets have been bought for all because YOU decided to go to the beach for the day. no apology, no nothing. she was confused as to why I was pissed.
she pulled a similar move a few months ago when I needed to attend a work related conference. she was to *gasp* have her grandchildren sleepover for 1 night. she tells me the day before I was scheduled to leave that "she's just not sure it's a good idea. three kids are a lot."
now, those of you who know me, see the irony here. I am one of three children. when my mother was a mom to 3 girls, her mother lived nearby and was a huge part of our lives, simply because she was THERE a lot. and yes, I remember having a sleepover now and then with her.
so once I had a hissy fit and explained to her that telling me this at that moment was not helping me at all and rearranging so that 1 child was going somewhere else and she was now only responsible for 2 grandchildren, all was fine. but she felt she needed to remind me about 20 times shortly after that trip of how much she was HELPING me.
it's not so much of a help when I am made to feel that I am leaving me children with someone who doesn't really want them. not easy to go pretend that life is wonderful and learning new exciting things about teeth are my number 1 priority in life for this 1 weekend.
I guess what I've been forced to realize is that my mother is just not the person that I thought she was. I cannot depend on her. I listen to what she says, but I do not really believe the words until I see them happen. I have come to realize that she is not, in fact, moving to Clermont to "be near her grandchildren". because let's face it, if it hasn't happened in the 10 years since she told me this, it's probably not gonna happen.
my goal for 2010? to not be that Mom. to mean what I say and do what I can to make my children know how important they are to me, everyday.
oh, and yes...pics of me and kids on trampoline will be forthcoming.
