we finally got rid of the bastard! they got smart and gave him the boot. i am so happy! i found out the day before Christmas and it was next to the best gift i could have gotten from chris…besides him!

i have been dying for them to boot that bastard for at least five years! it warms my heart to know they fired him too! if he had resigned to go elsewhere it would be like he had won. but we dumped his sorry ass! now we really can rebuild our team! that makes me very happy.

I have been so disgusted with the direction the team was headed in under him that i followed them but for the first time in my whole life, i did not watch a single game this year. i missed them…but i hated him so much he was RUINING my team!

I was so angry when they brought in herm edwards, but i will take him over Carl any day! but now my team has a shot! i look forward to watching them now that the cancer has been removed…NEXT FUCKING YEAR!!! oh well, focus on the happy!

Happy New Year everybody!

A few things to think about…the price of gas is down but for how long, nobody knows.

2008 is almost over bringing with it the end of a record year of companies going bankrupt, people losing their jobs, the BAILOUT, and the 1st black president elected to office in the history of our nation.

in a sign of our bleak economic times a 90 something year old woman ,who bought her home like 50 some years ago with her husband and had to refinance when he got sick a few years back, tried to kill herself rather than be evicted from the home they shared. Well she survived and Fannie Mae GENEROUSLY said they would forgive the 10 thousand or so dollars that she owed on her mortgage and give her the house. a good thing…yes!

but what about the people who arent quite as old, didnt survive their suicide attempts, or who have kids and nowhere to go? what did Fannie Mae do for them?

then you have the big three auto giants. they go crawling to washing d.c. to beg for 7, 9, and 11 billion dollars of bailout money from, basically the American people, the govt. but they all fly private jets. when asked if any of them planned on selling their jets…crickets. when they came back for round two one of them stated that he had driven a hybrid from Detroit. there was a joke related that if he got the bailout funds he would be flying back with that hybrid strapped to the private jet!

it’s been a big year for natural disasters…myanamar cyclone and the earthquakes in china. the hurricanes in the gulf coast.

the brangelina twins! Thomas!

We go into 2009 facing so much uncertainty. what will happen to my job? my house? the stock market? my savings? what kind of world will my kids be getting after 2008′s hellish maelstrom of events?

All i know is that we have made it through another year of ups and downs (even though the ups seem too minor in comparison at times)and we are still here. We have a brand new year to start fresh and try again. I personally hope that it snows on December 31st at midnight, that way it can wash away all the bad and we can start (literally)fresh…plus it’s pretty.

here’s hoping your holiday was as much fun as mine was! I hope you enjoyed lots of good food, friends, drinks, laughter, and made someone smile.

i am so glad i got to have a whoite xmas and then after my fun was pretty much done it melted. so when i drive to work tomorrow it will be clear. just what i asked for. LOL

time for bed i think, chris got me up waaaay too early this morning…just like a kid on , well, you know.

well my day started with a trip to my doctor…which was a week over due. I had to get four shots in my back and that kinda sucked…a lot! but honey took good care of me and all went well.

then we had a nice ,quiet, romantic Christmas eve. chris was so sweet it was everything i could have asked for for xmas!

merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours!

p.s. i think i hear reindeer hooves!?! *wink wink* I’m going to bed!

why is it that in a season that is supposed to bring out the very best in people, seems to bring out their inner asshole? people are angry, selfish, hateful, greedy, dishonest, mean, reckless, and just generally bitchy and demanding. I hate Christmas for this and several other reasons. this year started out better than normal because no one had any money in this economy…but as we have gotten closer to C-day, they seem to have realized “Oh, Christmas is coming in the next week!”. so they come out with their shitty attitudes in droves. grab what they can as quick as they can…to hell with everyone else! FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

we had xmas with Ami last night and it was so much fun! She ooh’d and aah’d over each gift and then when she thought we were done we pulled out the big gift…the nintendo DS guitar hero edition. in her stocking were two DS games and i played it off like i got them accidentally instead of game boy games. one of them being Hannah Montana the other one being a penguin game. she’s a big penguin fan!

When we gave Toni her present she cried! I knew she would! The necklace we got her is so beautiful! It was a lot of fun. But this damn ice is messing with our xmas plans.

I am so glad little caylee Anthony can finally rest. in her short two years who knows the horrible things that girl has had to endure with that awful bitch as her mother. and the worst part of it…she will probably get away with very little if any jail time because there is no soft tissue left on the body. so she can claim “the little snot head” ,as her mom affectionately called her,died accidentally and sick with worry Casey panicked and put her in a trash bag and threw her in the woods. then went out and entered a hot body contest at a bar she liked to go to. and while the state of Florida was desperately trying to find little caylee , casey was out having a social life and telling the police bogus info to throw them off the actual trail. she is such a heinous selfish bitch and I hope she has a girlfriend in jail. a big old bitch named bertha who tears her ass up every night. or maybe a corrupt guard…she wanted to be acknowledged for her hot body. Needless to say I want her to get convicted of 1st degree murder. does Florida have the death penalty? too bad she didn’t comitt the murder in Texas…they aren’t afraid of killing criminals.

Hey if the president can stay an execution can he decide to execute a prisoner he thinks “got away with murder”? that would be some shit!

we got a buttload of snow last night and my dad called this morning to tell me that the roads were too bad to take ami to school. I wasnt going to be able to get her there today seeing as to how the truck is out of comission as well. so Ami got her 1st snow day…unofficially of course because school was not cancelled. But seeing as to how I am her parent and ultimately it is my call anyway, I say school was cancelled! Plus it snowed all day long and if it was bad at 7am it would have only been worse by 315 pm. Ami had fun today.

Now it is snowing and icing, so tomorrow isn’t looking good either for school attendance…but we will see how I feel tomorrow! *winks* I could use a day to sleep in anyway.

I can’t wait for xmas break…I love my kiddo but I need a bit of a parenting vacation. after saying this…I will miss her after about three and a half hours of freedom. I seem to have a pattern. xmas is a week from tomorrow.

i know I have to share Ami with her father and his side of the family at the holidays…but he is taking her away from me for two whole weeks! where is his xmas spirit?!? I’m gonna miss her. i do need a bit of a parenting break , though two weeks is not a break it’s torture!

this week before she leaves we have events every night…little miss social butterfly that she is. it’s exhausting to think about and then it will be over and i will have nothing to do but miss my girl.

Ami is such a little charmer…at thanksgiving she went to Chris’s aunt’s home for dinner and i guess during the meal at some point she actually started a conversation. chris is an only child and it has been a long time since he was a child his family is not a big kid family. but Ami has won them over. they were all disappointed that she wouldn’t be there for xmas and that they wouldn’t get to see her. his grandparents gave her a music box and his aunt let Ami feed her horses. for a family not fond of kids they sure love this one. but what’s not to love?

the house is decorated inside and out…it looks really nice. we have found where we are going to go look at Christmas lights. the gifts are bought and most have been delivered. all that’s left is wrapping them. and I can’t wait to see their faces when they open their presents…they will be so surprised! i feel like a …well…like a kid on xmas! *grins* that’s the hardest part of the holiday for me. waiting to give the gifts to my loved ones. xmas is all the way at then end of the month. it sucks!

the air is cold and brisk. the snow is clean and white.

the stars up in the sky are shining oh so bright.

the pine boughs smell so fresh. the cocoa steaming hot.

put down the bags and packages come see what i have bought.

the paper is so colorful. the bows of red and green.

the family all together what a happy scene.

Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year!

Just so you know…you are not getting a fucking Mac! You will use any excuse to buy a new computer *grins* two grand is a lot of money to spend on your frustration over a software issue. all just to get a new puter…again I’m gonna say you are not getting a fucking Mac!

I love you

I am starting to wonder why it is anyone trusts anyone else?!? I mean seriously…people suck!

We decorated our house for xmas this weekend. and as a result I cannot walk any longer! I am so sore. all of my muscles are achy and pissed off. we have one of those reclining sofas and my legs are so sore I cant even put the foot rest back down. But when Ami came home from the weekend with her father she was so tickled that it was done. She said it all looked really good, so it’s worth it. i might not be so sore if I hadn’t also done like 10 loads of laundry and had to go up and down two flights of stairs. we have like ten tubs of xmas stuff and we brought the stuff up and the emptied it…then took it back down. then i had to carry all the laundry up the stairs. so i really got a workout the last few days. not like I couldn’t use it!

now I have to get Chris’s fake tree and we will put that up tomorrow. then it will be complete. he gets to put up the house lights while i”me at work.

the stockings are hung by chimney with…er care? with hopes that Christmas soon will be…over! The child is nustled all snuggled in bed while visions of make up, shoes, and an ipod touch dance in her head. while daddy in his boxers and I in my footie pajamas have just settled down for a long winters…uh…nap, yeah, nap *that’s my story and I’m sticking to it* when down in the living room there arose such a clatter. So down the stairs like a hurricane we flew. Daddy and I and of course…Thomas too. the light in their eyes a weird eerie green as they watched their tails twitched never leaving the fireplace screen. With a clatter and bang he came into sight i knew in a moment I would not sleep tonight. the cats going crazy ,the kid sleeping through, how much more crazy are we gonna do? daddy finally got him to fly out into the snow,cleaned up the mess back to sleep can we go? Six thirty arrives and the kiddo does too what happened to sleep?… what can you do? the holidays done not a moment too soon…now i think I’m gonna sleep until noon!!!
