Isn’t it funny, NO, really it’s not. . .

It’s funny to me how someone’s very existence can just piss another person smooth off. I try not to take it personal but I know it is. Being a kid is sometimes REALLY HARD but being an adult, pretty much sucks, all the time. As an adult your not just making a living, you watch all your money go out the door on bills. You do laundry all the time to just always discover, there's still Laundry in the sorting baskets. You cook, well, because you have to eat but it always takes twice as long to clean up. I’ve been told I picked my parents just like I’ve been told my kids picked me, I’m sure there are many things my parents didn’t want to do as parents that their parents did and of course the same for me and in line with the natural course of life. The same I’m sure with my daughters also. Just one secret to share with you, pick all the good things from your parents and don’t be afraid to use them and cherish them, to expand upon them and make them even better. Make them stronger, wiser...

Today my baby was born . . .

Today 23 years ago I welcomed my first child into this world! It was such a beautiful day and has been ever since. I so love my Leslie Anne Gass who was named after this character on a soap opera and of course with Lisa and Lorrie in mind. The day she was born, Baby Jessica was rescued from the well, and 15 days after her due date. She was a huge baby and we couldn't even button the top buttons of her dress. She was my biggest baby, my first love and still my sweetest joy. I love you Leslie Anne Gass, and I can't wait for the day that we welcome your 1st baby into this world = )

Moving Past the Anger. . . .

I just wanted to Blog again and not do it in anger. . . There are too many things in life that I have no control over and I can't let HER keep me from happiness. After all then she's winning. Wow where has the time gone. . . Leslie Anne is married and in ID with her sweet husband David and they have a little one on the way, IT will be here in April, what a sweet month to have a baby. Bethaney is completely certified to teach and is doing her internship and will graduate in December of this year. Mariah's 1st day of College is today. What's different in Mariah's case is she's the ONLY kid from Pocola going to OSU this year! I was proud before but even more so now. She's setting the bar high for her fellow classmates and her siblings and doing a fine job of it. How scary is it to head off to such a Great Big Place and take noone with you. . . It's a first for my kiddios. Kaelin is in the 10th and settling in nicely. She's just greatful to not be a fre...

One Pissed Off Lady . . .

Wow, just when I think I'm over this, I'm right back there. And I never know why I slide back there, I just do. I'm so sick and tired of working my life away, never seeing my kids, enjoying the things they do or even enjoying watching them do things. All my life I've felt as though my kids should wear shirts that say, "My mom won't be here, she's working." I think of all the things I've missed and all the things I continue to miss, because my ASS has to go to the office and work. No vacation, no PTO always having to work. Now none of this would bother me half as bad, if all the freaking parties involved would pull their damm share and work too. Bill and Melissa both are able bodies, capable of working, BUT WON'T ! I'd love to just say. . . You know what, I think I'll just stay home, and if I do there is no paycheck and no paycheck for me, means none for you. . . I'm sick and tired of parents who put all the responcibility of providi...

Does Every Sr. Year go this FAST . . .

I'm sure it's because she is my last baby at home, that this year is speeding by. Everything we do, there's this under lying sadness because we know it's a last. I watch her even when she doesn't know I'm watching. I want these days to be burned into my mind. I know we will see these things again with the little ones, but it's different with Mariah, she's been our baby, we have raised her and guided her, and been there when life's carpet has been pulled out from underneath her feet. We have laughed with her, cried with her, screamed at her and cheered her on. . . She is the closest we have ever had to being ours. We have watched her grow from a little girl to a little woman. We have seen her friends come and go and those that have always been there. I've seen her comfort little ones as well as her mother, I've seen her stand up for the injustices of the world and tears flow at the sadness that life sometimes brings. Soon she will be applying ...

What's the PROBLEM ? ? ?

You know you're old when leaving for work one morning you notice a Neon Pink Penis on your daughters car back window and you're COMPLETELY appalled ! ! ! And then I call her to tell her I want it removed NOW and she says, Mom, calm down, I'm going to go wash my car on Wednesday on payday. So now I wait for that inevitable call from the school, because I'm pretty sure they are not going to let Mariah park a pink penis in the parking lot for the next 3 days. . . Yea'll I'm pretty sure about that.
