Funky Rants

So I cant seem to get out of this funk I have been in lately. I cant seem to get things right. It seems like 1 step forward and 10 back.



Is it aggravation? Stress at work, home, and every where else? I cant tell.

It is so frustrating being funky though! Especially when its not normally the way I handle things.



The boys seem to know how to press every last button I have lately. I will sure be glad when it warms up so that they can go outside and play.

They fight over every little thing and aggravate each other on purpose just to hear the other fuss and cry!

If I hear "Momma he ______...." one more frazzling time!!!UGH!!!

AND

"I didn't want that."(in the most whiniest tone ever) Well guess what fella you get to eat it anyway!!

OR

Arguing over who shot what with the bebe gun...

I think I may just explode.!

Can you imagine seeing me explode..I bet that would be a site to behold!

Waite even better, the looks on the boys' faces. ( imagine cartoonish explosion not gory details).



Sometimes I think they are laughing at me in secret after I have fussed about what ever they were fussing about. I know I did when I was a kid! LOL!

So I have to come up with something to get out of this funky funk! I think I may become a Scentsy candle rep...If that doesn't help at least maybe my house will smell good!

Why I oughtaaaa....

Let me tell you TODAY I almost lost it.



We are having some unusually cold and wet weather in our area this week.

Let me just say that I live in the DEEEEEEEP south and when we have winter it is more like summer. We may have a few days that the weather gets below 30 , BUT not many.

With that said please let me explain.



Yesterday our school system made the mistake of allowing the automated call system call the parents to let them know that we "may be" getting out of school early due to inclimate weather.



Fast forward to this morning 0720 sharp!



Blondie and Curly Sue: "Mrs. Homie, are we getting out early today?"

Me: "Well, we don't know yet. We will just have to wait and see."



0722

Flattop and Little Jimmy: "Mrs Homie, are we getting out early?"

Me:" Well I don't know yet. Principal will make an announcement and let us know."



0723

Little Suzie:"Hey Mrs. Homie, are we going home early today?"



GEEZZ PEEPS!!!

Me:"I just said we do not know YET! We will have to wait till the principal makes an announcement."



0725

Barging through the door like a bull in a china shop.

Lil'Dude:"Hey y'all we are going home early today"

Everyone in chorus"We don't know yet!"



This continues for the next 30 minutes with me having to say" Okay, lets get started on morning work and not worry about that. We will know soon enough. Stop argueing...Hush....Be quite....stop....leave him/her alone..."



Finally I heard the buzz on the intercom "Thank GOD" I thought.



Well as principal rambles on with all the important announcements were waiting anxiously waiting, still waiting, waiting some more. Darn no announcement.



And the barrage of questions begins once again.

And if I said IDK one time i said 1000 times.



SO we begin class and I am trying to keep them busy AND quite.



Every time I pause to take a breath "Hey Mrs. Homie are we going home?"

Me:"Now, didn't you hear the same announcement I did? I DO NOT KNOW!!!!!!"



This unfortunately continues alllllll day!

They come back from PE in a scuffle about if we are going or not.

By this point I want to pull my teeth out one by one!



Fast Forward to 249

FINALLY to my relief its time pack up. The weather really has gotten nasty and much colder. As we are lining up the buzz of the intercom.

"SSSHHHHHH, Hush SSSSHHHHHH"

Principal "May I have your attention please?", he says in a hurriedly raspy voice."We will not have school tomorrow! School will be out Do Not come to school!"



The room erupts in cheers and high fives. In my brain I am cheering too!!!!



The I was run over like a Mack truck came through my room.

Damn! I bet we will have to make this up on one of our holidays.



All day long all I could think of was the old Honeymooners' episodes when Jackie Gleason use to say " Why I oughta". They wore every little piece of patience I had out today.



Kids gotta love 'em!

Karmic Restitution

O! K!

Apparently someone hasn't been livin' right!

Karma has come around to bite me in the butt once again.

Lets begin with the first repayment to the karma fairy...

Last month I came home from school to find the load of WHITE!!! clothes I placed in the dryer before I left that morning looking like they belonged in a litter of Dalmatians!

The very next day (and I mean the very next day )I came home from school to find that someone (i.e. baby homie, who is 2) had left a crack in the freezer door when he got a "freezy pop" the day before. Apparently NO ONE noticed the crack in the freezer door!
Weeeelllll!!! When I open the door that afternoon I was like "What the__________"(insert your own word) is that smell. I walked all around thought maybe it was the front loading washer, but nope. Not the washer.

WHAM! It hits me like the proverbial ton of bricks! I also notice the lovely crimsony color oozing from the freezer area. EEEEEWWWWWWWW!

NNNNAAAAASSSSTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYY!

WHAT THE!!!!!!

SO guess what I got to do! YEP!
Took everything out and threw it away, even those beautiful shrimp I had just placed in there a few days prior to freezer crack. Fresh from the salty water humongous shrimp!

Then the best part of the entire thing was cleaning up all of that lovely, freshly coagulating, rose smelling, drippings from the thawed out slop. If it weren't for a dear friend of mine I don't know what i would have done. She came and saved the day for me! Props Girl! Cant say so much for my other favorite sister-n-law! Bless her heart she was too grossed out to do anything but stare and chringe...cant say that I blame her though!

Finally after we get that cleaned and have good laugh (What else could you do but laugh after it was over?) we sit and have a good convo and laugh some more. I thought maybe I was clear of Karma fairy because the whole time I was cleaning I was apologizing for all the mean things that I had apparently done.
BUT OH NO!!! Not done with me yet...Heifer! or Jackass!
The VERY next day we go to the local football game and WHAM Baby Homie falls and busts the back of his and yep you guessed it we made a late night run to the Emergency room. Turns out we didnt have to have stitches. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

All weekend we lay low trying not to disrupt anything and seemed to do a pretty good job.
Well Monday rolls around out the door we go and Mommy went alright...rolling like a stone right on down those steps. GEEEEZZZZ LOUISE!

Now this time....

Baby Homie has to go to day care for the first time.
Well it goes okay except for the tears that appear out of no______where when I drop him off. He seems to like it none the less.
2 days only 2 days at day care and what happens he comes home and proceeds to puke everywhere and we are up all night.

In the middle of him pucking and then getting another bath I am trying to wash the clothes and things that were sprayed with the first sessions of throwing up.

I walk in the kitchen and I smell this nasty weird smell. Again WHAT THE________ is that smell?
Well, I though it better not be that damn freezer again!

I am walking around sniffing like a bloodhound on track . I even smell myself to make sure its not me! Turns out the darn fuse box is smoking and its an electrical burning smell.
I run to back of the house were the hubs is snooring so loud...yep he is in a deep sleep.

HUBS!

HUBS!

HHHUUUUBBBBSSSS!!!! WAKE UP!!!

I think the fuse box is trying to catch fire.

AND the great response...



HUH????

The fuse box I think it is trying to catch on fire!

Well he does get up and come to the rescue!


So please Karma Fairy take it easy on me! Enough already! I didn't think I was that I was that mean! I guess I am going to have to be A LOT nicer!
I hate having to kiss booottttyyyy!
