Life and what it takes to make it!

What I am all about

Atlanta, Georgia, United States
I'm smart. I love cats and tractors. I put the toilet seat cover down when I take a bath because I don't want anything to come through the drains and slither or hop out. (I know, I know...shut up) Seriously, STOP LAUGHING THIS INSTANT. Please?

WOW! Go TEXAS!!!

God Bless Texas! I think that Texas' Governor should be commended for the way he has stepped in and taken Texas' young ladies' lives and put them moving in the right direction. I am leaning more and more towards the Conservative side but the Liberal in me believes that parents can NOT be so dim to think that our children (mine including - I have an 8 year old daughter and a 9 year old son) don't know anything about (gasp!) sex.
Teaching our children to be abstinent until marriage is a wonderful, wholesome concept, but let's be real here, abstinence is not a way of life in the real world.
My daughter is not allowed to wear makeup, would not be caught in anything that Britney Spears would wear and will NOT date without my permission (along with her father's, who by the way, is a gun activate). Even though all of the previous is true, I will not ignore that sex is out to destroy her youth. If I don't protect her every move until she's legally out of sight, who will?
I know my daugther knows I love her and I will continue to do so until my last breath. I will show her every day. The first step is protecting her health...tied in first place with her innocense.
God Bless Texas...God Bless and Keep us ALL!

My Babyboy....

IS 9 years old today. Happy Birthday Patrick-Michael! I miss you and I love you.

Well why not?

Well, why the hell not? I mean, people who are from distant lands see "Americans" acting LIKE tyrants and idiots and why? For what reason? Do we, as HUMANS not see what we are doing to our world? What will it take for all of us to rise above the anger that holds us back from agreeing on anything?

I see a President, no wait THE President, trying his best to not control the country that is his - BY THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE! Do we really think that we all will "save the world" by disbanding our patriotism? I don't want to hear about people not agreeing with the President of YOUR United States. He is only trying to stand on the promises that he made at the beginning of his 1st term!
The Dems really messed up in striking down the President's idea of a troop surge. If America stands behind this idea then we are ALL in deep, deep "tish".
As my dear old dad would have said, " Mark my words and Katie-Bar-The-Door." I don't know what that means but I named my daughter Kaitlyn and we all call her, you guessed it, Katie.
My father raised me not to question myself and my mom still teaches me, to this day, to ALWAYS trust in my own intuitions.
If I had it to do all over again, I would have voted in the Presidential Elections 2000 and in 2004, and I would have voted for "Dubya".
I challenge any of you to change my mind.

Um...where was I going with this?

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
WOW! I never realized how goofy I look in pictures. Ha. This picture was taken the night that Carolann and I went out to Bonehead's. Jeff was out of town that weekend and I was having a "girl's night out". We had a good bit of fun. We got our drinks bought for us by some dudes at Bonehead's, then we politely dissed them, we went to the Vault and had a few there and then went home. Talking about having fun.
Jeff went out of town quite a bit more than I did last year. He went out of town twice with Estes business themselves. It was cool, though, because that meant I could hang out with my friends all by ourselves.
Sometimes I feel like a cheap ho.
Sometimes I like that (but only slightly).
I need to go take a long, hot bubble bath because I am a nasty, dirty girl...
{sigh}





Dropping the kids off

I just dropped the kids off at their respective dad's house. It ain't easy now. I miss my youngin's like crazy.

My BabyGirl (Tied in first place for my heart)

I chose this particular color text because I am celebrating the life of my daughter, Kaitlyn. She just turned 8 and it is so amazing to me how beautiful she is. She and I go shopping once in awile and she is getting to that age to where she is noticing -gasp- boys! She giggles constantly at the sound of Jesse McCartney's name and almost faints when she sees his face.
I am NOT that old!!!
I am though, old enough to remember Joey McEntire and the way his smile beat my heart senseless and how my BEST friend, Jennifer, was just in LOVE with Danny Wahlberg and laughed herself silly at my own hearthrob's expense.
I am......old.
We may go tomorrow and get a Jesse McCartney poster so we can frame it and hang it on her wall. She'll stare at it for hours, sing to it when she is daydreaming and in 20 years or so, she'll look at her OWN daughter and softly laugh and wipe away the tears in her eyes while her daughter turns into a woman before HER very eyes.
Time goes on. Live in the now.
I want everyone to know that I love my children and I will NEVER leave them.
Happy Birthday, Doodle. I love you!

Jeff and me

This is me and my wonderful boyfriend, Jeff. This was taken after a Motley Crue concert when we went to a bar downtown called Bonehead's. We have had great times there throughout the 2 years that we have known one another.
I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world!

SO?

So I am laying it all out here because MySpace seems to be a really BIG hassle these days, with all the DRAMA and MAYHEM. It would make even the sanest person go apeshit. So here I am...on Blogger....and yes, I use those little dots quite a bit so fucker get used to it.
I'm quoting the song " I'm NOT okay", cause, I'm not. I've got a neurotic ALMOST ex-husband that can't seem to get his shit together long enough to pay his bills, a son and a daughter who I love with everything I have but I don't physically have with me right now and a wonderful boyfriend who helps me through it all but he drives me nutsoids too. Fuck it.
I just got off of one of the two meds that a doctor gave to me to help my brain's chemicals stop squaredancing in my cranium and I've slipped back into part of my mania.
I like to solve other's problems and I'm having problems solving my own friggin problems so I guess that's another problem to add to the list. Oh well.
As you can see, I'm kind of all over the place with everything but that's how life goes when your brain is dead from traveling an hour and 15 minutes ONE FUCKING WAY to work and back home EVERY DAY!
It USED to be fun. It's not anymore.
I'll be back, maybe.
Til then, have fun and get stoned. It's the only way to live and actually enjoy life right now. The world is ending and all the world is going to hell, in a handbasket, with a little red bow...
Wonder if my shoes will match?
