My mother and sister have pissed me off so bad that I literally mourned our relationship, because I knew that at that moment, things would NEVER be the same. I have tried to tell them both that over the past three years, I have changed...I am not the same co-dependent side kick they knew and loved. I refuse to enable people (THEM) any more. With that being said, I needed them to know that I'm not

Oh yeah...so my mother moved back to town from Cali and has given me a weeks notice. I shoot off a flaming e-mail about how unfair it is to disregard my schedule or my "to do" lists (yes I said its not fair and stomped off)...my sister paid $3500, plus her hours of labor getting my mom the fuck out of there and now I'm ready to rob a bank to send her back. Although she said that she completely

To apologize would indicate that I am wrong for something that I knowingly did and that is truly not the case.  GUILT BE GONE - AINT NO MORE ROOM HERE FOR YOU! SO...all I can do is highlight the stuff that I would've normally blogged about: Xanbaby momma is still here and we have had a couple of blow-ups - nothing that we could not

I have been soooo busy that I just plain ole forget to blog, please accept my apologies (IF ANYONE STILL VISITS).  ADDhubby birthday is tomorrow (46 - damn he old) and I surprised him with something he always wanted. A tattoo...NO, not one on him, one on me with his name.  I hardly ever wear my wedding ring (because I am a hand sanitizer nut and it gets all gooey), so therefore I got a wedding

I INTENDED to blog last week, but I was NEVER alone, free or had time. So let me recap: Monday - don't remember Tuesday - Ooh, ADDson#3 sprung a surprise on me...he was singing in a talent show that night *blank stare*...what, when did this happen, what are you singing...oh EXC.U.SIVE (by MT.B4)...oh wait can you sing?...*praying please don't embarrass me or yourself*...so he and 2 other

ADDson#2 asked me to do his taxes, last week.  I told him that we needed to wait until he got both his W-2s in (he wanted to just do 1 of them, since he only worked a month at the other place)...I explained to him that not

As I have stated in the past, I HATE the commercialization of what Christmas has become. Case in point, I went shopping today and heard more kids getting cussed the fuck out by their parents. I was cracking up, but then felt bad for the kids. One kid was begging for a toy (aint that what all kids do anyway?) Obviously frustrated, his mother proceeded to tell her son to "get the damn truck and

that is the question I often ask myself. I'm an inappropriate laugher. I laugh when people fall (before I check to see if they are okay). I laugh at kids getting a whooping (the dances, the faces, the begging and pleading just crack me up). Last night Xanbaby (my grandsons) mother called me in hysterics about the lack of progress that Xanbaby has made in potty training. He will be 3 in March

I think being born in the Fall had something to do with my love of the "wintry" season. I love having an excuse to wear layers of clothes, especially sweats and flannel pajamas.  I love the fireplace burning, the tons of blankets on the bed and the "gray" look outside.  There is just something peaceful about it.  That being said, I wish that all the people that don't know how to drive in rain,

I have always considered myself to be a GREAT STARTER - If you're looking to begin a project, but don't know how...hollaatchogirl! The downfall to this is I would start a hundred projects and NEVER finish any of them which, cancelled out the effectiveness. For example, I will start to clean my bedroom, go to the laundry room to retrieve a hamper and see something there that I need to do like

As a child, I LOVED Wonder Woman. She encompassed everything I wanted to be. I could relate to her on so many levels (and often compared myself to her - in my mind of course) because she was larger than life - (I have always been taller than my peers); she was strong - could kick any body's ass at any given moment; she was beautiful - a person could get lost for days in her eyes - I had light

One holiday left..when ADDson #1 & 2 left the house...I decided to stop celebrating Christmas...not really stop celebrating, but do the Jehovah Witness thing and not give gifts. Mainly because...I am a chronic "over-doer". I would buy shit they (my kids) saw in January and thought they wanted and everything that I thought I would want to have if I were there age and a boy. Also, I would still

I had a pretty good thanksgiving...it was not nearly as bad as I imagined...except ADDhubby and I did all the cooking, buying, preparing, etc...everybody else, just show up to eat, then fall asleep. Is this how its supposed to be....when my kids where home I did not mind...but all the money and time for grown folks...seriously would it be rude to ask for/expect a donation. I would happily pay

He sent me a text message to make sure the coast was clear....I have not talked to him since his baby momma called me and told me all of his business...He asked was I still pissed...I told him that I was never pissed, just disappointed. I also told him that his nephew was here. He comes over looking grungy as ever...(I swear he tries so hard to be white trash) and told me that was getting

I am happy as a pig in slop that my favorite Only granchild is here. He will be three in March and I truly believe that he is a baby genius (of course). He just looks at me and says "I love you so much" or "RO-RO" (that's what he calls me- because gran-anything was not gonna fly) you look so pretty today." Please forgive me if I rattle on and on with what he said...its just too darn cute. He was

We still are not physically talking...we text and send emails, but she wont answer the phone when I call...I need to respect that I guess. Today is her birthday, she is 37 I think. Happy Birthday if you ever find out about this - I love you!On a happier note, ooohhh let me tell you what ADDhubby did last night, this morning.

To have the patch and forget to put it on? I was trying to figure out why my mind was racing like the old ADDMWS and bam...I remembered that I did not put it on!I was thinking of things that I am scared or afraid of and wanted to share.Driving on bridges that go over water - the GWB in NJ/NY...still gives me nightmares, I cant swim.Trucks carrying metal poles or trees - I guess I've seen too

I have to have ADDfamily over for the celebration this year. Usually my mom comes to town and acts as a buffer - where I dont have to interact quite as much with them...but this year the buffer is not coming, niether are ADDson1/2 or my lil sissy (we still have not verbally talked since the incident)...so its just me, ADDson#3, Sister in law (SIL) who is bringing her latest man who is 4'9 tall..

I've decided that I really enjoy blogging...it is more therapeutic than I ever imagined. I peruse others blogs and wonder, how did they do that?, I want a picture!, etc...so I decided to put more thought into this and actually read instructions...Please bear with me and my periodic structural changes...the picture up top is me and my grandson (when he was 1 month old)...his face says it all...he

ADDson#3 and I got up early to go to garage sales and run errands...(ADDhubby had his friend call me to ask if he could go fishing)...we went to breakfast, picked up prescriptions, went for a tuxedo fitting (he's an escort in a debutante ball), went to the mall, Walmart, then lastly to Toy R US - they were having a sale and TJ Beary Tale was half off. I searched the store high and low and finally

I just removed the ADD patch. I have to say that I am so impressed at the level of focus I acquired today that I'm going to wear another tomorrow. I was initially just going to wear on school days.)Initially I expected to put the patch on and everything appear more clear, like on Spiderman. When he puts the suit on, he has all of these special powers. I watch too much TV!...I drive 30

This is national health month (for me only). I say that because I had the OB appointment earlier this week or last week and I met with my primary care physician yesterday. No, there is nothing seriously wrong with me, other than the obvious, but I have not seen these people in over a year, and they would no longer refill my "getting older-keep me sane" medications without a check-up.

I dropped out of school when I was 15 - I thought I was grown when I got pregnant; I got my GED when I was 20, and went to College the "first" time soon there after. It was a community College and I completed 12 hours before my last baby daddy got shot (by his latest babies mommas girlfriend during a domestic dispute). When that happened, I dropped out of College (because I needed to go get my

This is a question that I ask myself on the regular. I don't know the answer. I wear many different hats, based on who I am dealing with or what day of the week it is or my situation. ADDhubby teases me about acting white, yet he complains about my ghetto-ness...(he got in MY car the other day and I had been bumping TOO SHORT - freaky tales). In my mind, I look very different than my mirror

Part of having ADD is having lack of impulse control. Impulse control comes in handy when you do "not " want to say the first "stupid ass" things that come to mind. Since I believe I have ADD (this info covers me). As a rule of thumb, I tend to apologize up front for any and every thing that I may say off the dome. I apologize if offend you with my language, raw emotions that I may convey, or

I went to bed last night at 8:00 pm. I was tired and wanted to sleep, so that's what I did. I went to school yesterday and was informed of the Finals schedule, which totally conflicts with my sleep routine. I love my bed. I have finally stumbled across the perfect formula of linens, thread counts and feather bed quality. I have a step-niece that every time she comes over, she goes directly to

Last night, I was talking to my FAVORITE (only) grandson who is 2. We went through our usual "I want to come over your house routine" then he heard noise in my background...he said who is that baby, I explained that his PAW-PAW was watching boxing. Grand baby says "are they man-ning up" I laugh that he remembers this from ADDhubby and say yes and they have big muscles, do you have big muscles..

I tend to wonder about or do things that even strike me as "weird"...likewhy is that I get so embarrassed for people on TV that I have to change the channel?why am I so addicted to talk shows and reality TV - when deep down inside I feel like none of it is real...who would intentionally set themselves up on shows like Jerry Springer? How is that the same woman can be tested five + times on Maury

Time was set back last night so I had plenty of time. ADDhubby is preaching today - I should be there to support. ADDson#3 loves going - I should do it as a good role model. I love God and know that without Him, nothing is possible. I feel guilty for not wanting to go, but why go when I'm going to be thinking about everything I could be doing if I where not there....God knows my heart right?

get some work done? We woke up about 10:30 am, which is very unusual, even for a Saturday. I informed ADDhubby that I was going to cook breakfast - he was shocked to say the least because I truly don't cook anymore, but I'm so tired of wasting money on fast food, even slow food (not a drive-thru) can't compete with an old fashioned "home cooked" meal. My menu was bacon (turkey - Addhubby hates)

We've gone back and forth (politely) about the billing program details and to make a long story short, she does not get it. Therefore, I offered my billing services throughout the EOY and she accepted.I wonder how the pie taste.....BRUWAHAHAHAHHA

I have been busy with life stuff, so let me catch up...I am in College and work for my little sister...yes we started a business together, BUT somewhere along the way she forgot about that. I just gave my week notice, because I cannot take it anymore. Her superior attitude has pushed me to the brink of insanity. I am not feeling well - left arm and shoulder are going numb, dont know why...hell

I need to describe my family (the people that I will rant about) and since today is my 9th anniversary, I will begin with my Hubby.ADD-Hubby is mid-40s, ex football player that still remembers when... I was not around him then and find it hard to believe the stories of how he used to be. We normally laugh at him or just pat him on the back as a way to appease him. Hubby is/was the best thing

My sister just received her acceptance letter to Law School - I guess I better start being nicer to her!

Well this is my official first post...I am not a writer, a poet, an author...I'm just a mom, wife and sis that needs somewhere to use as an outlet for all the thoughts running around my head. Background on me is that I truly believe I have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and I am qualified to diagnose myself as I have raised three sons with it. The poor apples did not fall far from the tree! No
