What happens when you put a Conservative in the same household as a Liberal?

WAR. She is the DUMBEST fucking person I have ever met...and she gave birth to me. 


She hates my kids, except the *all mighty Galen*...he could never do anything wrong. If they walk through the house talking to each other, she screams at them to be quiet because she can't hear her TV program. She expects me to follow them everywhere they go so that way I can be ready to crack that whip if they do anything wrong.


She expects me to be the perfect little daughter and do ALL the chores around the house. Laundry, dishes, cooking and cleaning. However, if she CHOOSES to do something herself, she proceeds to brag and brag about what she did. Wow! Congratulations, you got off your ass for once! Can someone get her a trophy??


She irritated my sister tonight too because my sis called to ask and see if mom and my brother would be going to Wheatland, MO this weekend to go to the races and mom said "Is she going to pay for my gas and entry fee?"...my thinking is (God, I hope not)...so my sis said "Nope, I can't do that. I don't have the money...." which I *TOTALLY* understand. Money doesn't grow on trees and no one has any nowadays. I would never have the guts to ask someone to pay my admission for something like that. 


My mother doesn't know shit. I'm very glad that I didn't listen to her half my life and I am extremely glad that I didn't turn out like her. Lemme tell you something though, living here has made me appreciate who my dad used to be. I miss him.

First you gotta do the Truffle Shuffle...

So my story starts by talking about my oldest son, who seems to be my topic of discussion a lot lately. He went to Movie Night at Hammon's Stadium (in Springfield, MO) last Saturday and won a iPod Shuffle!!! So to help him out, I have spent almost the entire morning/afternoon trying to find songs that would be semi-appropriate for him to listen to. He got on the computer yesterday and picked a few that he liked....without anyone's approval. I couldn't believe his selections. I didn't know whether to laugh...or cry.

"Play" by David Banner & "Every Girl" by Lil Wayne were just two of his selections that made the hairs on the back of my neck perk up. Have you heard either one of those songs? They talk about pussy and clits, dicks and hoes. LMAO! I'm gonna have a little 11 year old PIMP! HAHA!

Mother F&$%*&....Living with my mother

I am, simply put, SICK to death of living with my Mother. I just got on to my kids, in a separate room from my mom and she had to run in and make sure I wasn't being unfair. Unfair to her, is like...anyone besides HER disciplining children. UGH! Not only that, she is also EXTREMELY lazy. She spends her days off (which is 4 days out of the 7 day week) sitting on her ass watching TV all day long. She won't even get up to make herself something to eat most days. 

So some of you say, "Well fuck Kristy, why are you staying there?"...the thing is, we are renovating our 1926 house and cannot live in it while we are doing so. So it was either my mom or Keith's parents...which they didn't have the room plus his dad is almost as lazy as my mom. I cannot STAND lazy people. I am a mother of 3, which means I don't get much time to be lazy. I get weekends. Friday night, Saturday/Saturday night and Sunday until approx 3:30pm. In those few delicate hours, I still don't get to be lazy because I am over at my house doing renovations. The journey never ends.

Anyways, long story short. If you happen to know my mom and you run into her, you might pop her over the head and tell her to grow up and get off her ass. LOL Other then that, thanks for listening! 

The Jungle Book...no wait...The Book Jungle

I found the most amazing bookstore EVER in Springfield, MO. Located on the NE corner of the intersection at St. Louis and Glenstone. I honestly expected to walk in and find prices that were so-so and found prices that were OMG! I mean, normally I am a library girl through and through...but due dates, fines, lost books, etc begin to lurk eventual waters. At 'The Book Jungle', I bought 24 books and paid $25.29. Most of them were in excellent condition (spine straight, no rips, etc)...the rest had some wear but were in NO way in poor condition. I paid on average $1 per book.

So if you're a big paperback reader, go check them out!!

To Camp, To Camp We Go...

Football camp, that is. 

Galen had his football camp today, today is the day where the coaches will pick their players. Galen didn't look too happy out there this year (it was a nasty 90 degrees at 10am!)...but none the less, he seems a lot more comfortable playing this year. We are still trying to decide which number he wants. He has narrowed it down to 3 choices...#75 (local race car driver's car number), #60 and #50 (which is what he was last year). This is his last year of Youth Football before he has to try out for the 7th grade team! 

I really hope that he decides to stick with football. It keeps him active. Keeps him off my sofa and away from stupid video games...which anyone that knows me, knows I am the "video game nazi"...If any of you want to come out to the games, let me know and I will try to get his schedule posted asap. 

All Grown Up....don't know what to do...

You know, I have heard mothers and fathers before talking about how crazy it is that their children are grown. How "before you know it, they are grown and married with kids of their own". Do you remember grown-ups saying that? 

My son isn't quite THAT grown yet, but it won't be long and he will be. He is 11 years old and just started 6th grade this year. Middle school. Gosh, it literally blew me away that he had a freakin' locker. A locker. Imagine what it's going to be like when he gets a car?!?! You know, that is only 5 years away. 

Meanwhile, my daughter Katy and youngest son Garrett are growing like weeds too. Katy (real name Kaitlyn) will be 5 in November and will be starting Kindergarten in 2011. Garrett will soon follow that. What is a mother supposed to do, when the only thing she knew how to do is raise kids? Having more is not an option for my dearest husband and I. We committed to being done and I have since had a tubal ligation. Besides, it's hard to imagine trying to find housing and transportation for more then 3. 

I know that all of this must seem a little...quirky. It just baffles me.
