WOW! I signed up for this singles network. Man are there some interesting people out there. I received a request for an IM for this weirdo who said he was lonely and wanted to watch a movie with me. He even put his address. HELLO! CREEPY! Who does that? What kind of dummy would march on over to this dudes house? I have had to delete a ton of people. EWE I think finding a wife is a much better idea.
I have only chatted with one out of 100. He seems to be the only normal person out there. We will see.
Being single is scary. Who wants to start over? Maybe I will lock myself in my room with my toys instead. That would be much safer.
I do have to say that my sister has picked up a lot of awesome teammates!! Sucks to be her.

Things I inherited from my mother
As I spent the day today organizing my files and filing my stacks of papers, I realized that I am more like my mother everyday. Why do I hang on to papers? I mean really, I finally shredded my 1995 taxes and the titles to cars that I haven't owned for years. I know that I got this trait from my mother. She has the largest safety deposit box, yet it is stuffed full. I had to laugh at her and dad argue over why she put certain things in the box. She brought home a lot from the box to finally organize and he was eager to criticize. HELLO, have you looked in the back yard, garage, or shed?
I would much rather hang on to old papers than to a huge satellite dish that has no use, a rusty old van that hasn't been used for years, an old horse trailer stacked full of stuff, a huge rusty dump truck, etc. etc.
OK maybe I got the hoarding trait from him. Sorry mom! However, she does have stacks of papers and post-its all over as well. None the less I managed to empty 3 drawers from my filing cabinet and condense it into one small tote for files. I'm so proud!
Yes I know, what a fun way to spend my day off. It does however beat going out in the freezing cold.
Back to things I inherited from my mother, (yes I'm ADD)
-I often say or do things she did that I swore I would never do to my kids
-Not wanting to except help from others
-The I will do it myself attitude
-Bennett ears
-Slow metabolism
-The need for post-its in order to remember things
-etc.etc.
I'm too sleepy to go on.
I love my mom, I'm glad that I finally grew up and realized that she is mostly right.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Sleep tight.

Bah Humbug!
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
Man don't you love the holidays when you are broke. There is a 10 pound weight that has been lifted off my shoulders now that the divorce is final. I can't say that it is fun going from a 5 letter last name to 13 letters again, especially when you constantly are asked if you are related to people that you don't want to claim.
It is however replaced with the weight on my shoulders of the holidays. How do you provide Christmas for 4 children when you are broke? They all need shoes and winter boots. That's a couple hundred dollars that I don't have. Why can't they grow at a slower pace?
Not to mention trying to scrounge up money for presents. In the past I have relied on credit to help with Christmas.(shame on me) I now have no credit cards to use. (good for me) This is a double edge sword for me. I am happy to not have to stress over a payment here and a payment there, however it leaves me depressed that there is nothing to lean on.
One paycheck and 4 hardy eating kiddos is difficult. I barely make rent, utilities, and groceries.
Where is that damn money tree? I guess the money flew away in the blizzard today. It sucks to have to tell them that santa will not be visiting our house this year. It also sucks that I couldn't afford a present for my sister on her birthday.
Bah Humbug! Bah humbug!
Not only does it suck to be poor, but many of our traditions are being altered due to family disagreements. Can't we just skip to May so we can hide up in the mountains for the summer?
Well sorry for the whining. I will have to continue telling the kiddos that we are lucky to have each other, shelter, food, and a wonderful family. Hopefully that will lessen any disappointment in their eyes Christmas morning.
Sweet Dreams!

According to Juan
Here it is, the long awaited post. I have really put a lot of brain power into trying to remember all the stupid things my ex says and does. With a little help from my BFFS I think we got a lot of them.
According to Juan:
Marie is Korean.
It's cool to lock your wife out of the bedroom if she stays at her sisters past dark.
It's normal to stock ur ex even after signing divorce papers.
You should always over inflate ur tires. What's a tire gauge for?
Spooging under your ex's door when she locks the door is a natural high.
All ex's should want to sleep in their ex's bed when looking after the kids.
If you want to know if you have enough oil just check your transmission fluid.
You only need water in your vehicle. Antifreeze is completely unnecessary.
It's ok to fail the pictoral drivers ed test after failing it in English and Spanish several times. (8th times a charm)
It's cool to drive teenagers to the store so they can steal gum. HELLO it's called supervision.
A 400 minute cell phone plan is perfect when you talk to your girlfriend for 1200 minutes a month.
Talking to other women on the phone for 1200 minutes a month is not cheating.
Good money management is blowing $60 a week on the gut truck.
You can buy childrens love with a slurpee.
It takes a teenager 20 minutes to cross the street, (damn what a great babysitter)
It's perfectly normal to offer to buy your ex a bra.
There is no need to ring out a wash cloth full of clorox, just let it drip down the stairs and ruin your sister -in- laws carpet.
Overloading a trailer is not a problem. The tires should look flat.
Mini vans won't get stuck in the sand.
It is generous to ask your ex for $10 because your broke and then take two of the kids for slurpees and give them each $5. What the f... (of course I didn't tell them that the money was really from me, I'm still the cheapskate mom)
Flipping over a four wheeler on flat gound going slow is possible. (just ask my son and his ankle)
It's ok to bring another women into our house (to cut his hair?)
The freeway is totally unecessary. Take all the neighborhood streets, it's safer and much more economical.
Sister time is over rated.
Men are served before women and children.
There is no need to tie a brand new washer onto the dolly when moving it. (tumble)
You can only truly be happy and love someone who will have a baby with you.
Homes don't need windows or screens.
Fighting with the children doesn't make you one of them.
Telemundo is a must.
You don't have to follow through.
Plant your seeds in the valley.
Every meal needs to be accompanied with tortillas.
It's is normal to get mad at your ex for telling people you are divorced.
When your ex is slamming the door on you, you should continue trying to get her to give you a hug.
It's fine to walk into a house at 7am on Easter morning. No need to knock. You used to live there.
It's cool to finally act interested in holidays once you move out.
Inviting your ex on a date is romantic. (hello, what part of divorce don't you understand. Ask your girlfriend)
When visiting the kids you must always park right in the middle of the driveway so that I can't get in or out.
I know that I have missed a lot, but I may have to do a part two of according to Juan.
Please consider this as a lesson. Be VERY picky about who you marry. Don't be a slow learner like me!

Gossip~
I have this parent who won't come in and talk to me. She goes right to the pricipals office and complains about stories her daughter comes home with. If one of my students were to come home and tell me these stories, I would have a difficult time believing them. I couldn't figure out why this mom was so against me. But this week after school while on bus duty I learned why.
Her daughter has been going to an afterschool daycare run by a nightmare mother from last year. Great! She is still a nightmare and her son is no longer in my class. She is brainwashing other parents.
This nightmare mother made my year a living hell last year. She is one of those moms who doesn't think her son should have consequences. She believes it is ok for him to run around, disrupt instruction, bother and tease other students, etc.. Luckily she is on my sister's team (inside joke).
This mom, who had never even met me, came in the week before school started (last year) and wanted him moved. She heard that I was "strict". Of course I had to laugh because everyone knows that I am the worlds biggest marshmellow. Anyway, the principal denied her request. You see there is a note sent home each Spring that lets parents know that if they have a request it needs to be turned in by the end of the school year.
Of course this mom believes that she is the exception to every rule. Seeming how she didn't get her way, she nit picked at everything. Her son was one of the most challenging students I have had. She can't even control him. I really hope she figures something out before he is a teenager or she is in real trouble!
Regardless, I hate how parents gossip about teachers, word spreads like wildfire. I also hate how some parents mistake structure and consistency with being strict or mean. Their child is not going to learn if they are not in control of their body. Nor are the students around them.
I find it amazing that when one child is removed from the room, it is like night and day.
It seems like every year the kids get harder and harder. There seems to be less and less follow through and parental support.
It is also sooooo hard to compete with the WII.
So thank you to the parents who support their students' teacher, give the teacher the benefit of the doubt (especially when their child comes home with crazy lies), follow through at home, and actually have structure at home (so that their child isn't in shock when they come to First Grade)!!!!

EEW!
So yesterday two of my students decided to have a pee fight in the restroom, yes a pee fight!
Is that not disgusting as ever! Of course their moms had to come and pick them up. Who ever heard of a first grader getting suspended for a day.
I really feel for the custodians that clean that restroom. I personally think the two boys should of had to come back after school with gloves and a scrub brush. YUCK!

To marry or not to marry.
How do those of you who have been married forever make it work? After 9 years I asked my spouse to sign divorce papers. He said "I am not interested in getting a divorce" and won't sign the papers.
How many chances do you think one man needs? If you've been unhappy for over half of your time together isn't it fair to cut the ties?
For those that I hear are getting married, my first instinct is to tell them not to do it. It seems like that piece of paper changes a mans behavior totally. I think that they stop trying once they sign the certificate. It's like they get the attitude that they got the girl so stop the acting and be yourself since she is stuck with you.
My grandparents were married over 50 years. All they did is argue. I don't think it is worth staying with someone if you don't make each other happy. I don't want to be like that.

The Texting Douche
What kind of a douche hitches a ride to my daughters game so he doesn't waste his gas (nor does he know how to get anywhere) and then texts the whole game with a smirk each time he reads one.
Oh, yeah! MY EX. Is the paperwork final yet?
Why do men think us women are so stupid. I mean seriously 1200 minutes in 1 month to "a friend"? Whatever. At least I cancelled his phone and he had to get his own plan. Hope he loves the overcharges he racks up. Man I have got to get the "shit magnet" tatoo off my forehead ASAP.

Teenagers
Where do teenagers brains go on vacation to. I really need to go and pick my sons up. Whatever happened to good old toilet papering. Teenagers now days do the stupidest things without realizing the long term effects of their actions.
I have tried to talk to him, however he is already in "the club". I can't join this club seeming how I don't have the correct anatomy. Of course nothing I say is right since I don't have a penis.
I didn't think males read the manuel so young. I thought they read it right after they got married. It appears that even males as young as 10 can be in the club. Shocking!
