Now my cousin has always been one to make me laugh with his stories of restaurant trips, or times that I've been with him, or on the phone with him, that he's done something just off the wall. And what I mean by that is he will go through a drive-thru and order it to go. He's gone through the drive-thru and ordered it for there. We were at a little pub and the waitress was getting our drink order and he told her that he wanted a diet water. Kid you not. She started to write it down and then stopped and give him the oddest look, until we all started laughing and I told her to ignore him. Well my hubby did one in the same recently and it was so funny, I just have to share it. Recently McDonald's did the twenty-five cent Chicken McNuggets on the menu. So, my husband, went through the drive-thru and ordered...get this now...1 Chicken McNugget and a glass of water. To which the lady on the other end rang up a twenty-seven cent order. He and my cousin (yes, the same one) were laughing so hard that they could barely tell the lady that they were only kidding and that they had a big order. I, hearing about this, laughed so hard myself I could have peed. Anyway, I had to share that story. I'm in the mood for a laugh tonight and thought this would do it! Later peoples.

Today's thought...10 years.So it's been 10 years ago today that I made the biggest and one of the best decisions of my life. And I guess that's the main point, I got away alive. I got away with my life in tact. I left my ex, who was as abusive as the day is long. So many things were set in motion by my leaving. I met my husband now, and well, if not for him I don't know where I'd be today. I do know that I'd be without the love in him, as well as the love and life of this beautiful little girl that is my daughter. She is such a miracle from God and I am so thankful every day that he allowed her to live. Through everything that she's been through, and she's been through a lot...she's so tough. Such a fighter! I wouldn't change a thing from the last 10 years. It's been an amazing journey. Happy, sad, thankful, scary and sometimes bad. But mostly blessed. How else do you go from hell to heaven like I did? God Blessing alone. So most days, being a stay at home mom currently, I will sweep, mop, dishes, laundry and taking care of the baby. Then I take care of diff odds and ends things that need to be done through out the house. Well honestly I can't remember my funny yesterday mid-day, but last night on the way home my husband asks me to put on a pot of coffee because he's on his way home from work and frozen like a Freezy Pop. So I pour out the holder part of the coffee pot and I realize..."Hmm. It's kinda nasty gross, I need to wash it out." So I lightly rinse it with soap and water, making sure not to scrub out the oils in there, but just getting the main grody stuff off, ya know? So I spray it out and soap suds goes everywhere and I rinse out the holder part and throw it back onto the base of the coffee maker. Not thinking about all of the soap suds that were on the bottom of the holder, I step back to get the coffee from the top of he fridge to realize, holy crap, there's soap suds coming out of every section of this coffee pot! LoL!. So I hurriedly remove the holder and rinse off the bottom, grab a piece of paper towel and begin to wipe off the base that has the heater part. Then I think..."Self, you should probably UNPLUG the coffee pot while wiping off the wet soap suds." and I do so. Well, I finally get it all wiped down and got everything back together put the coffee and the water in the pot and hit the power button. Nothing. I hit the power button again. Nothing. Then it dawns on me. "Duh stupid! Plug the pot back in!" LoL! Oh the life and times of this household. Tee hee.

Today's thought...what I believe. Just a small list of a few things.I believe that God is my Savior and that Jesus died on the cross for me. I believe that one day after I die, God and I are gonna go horseback riding and discuss the important things in life over a steaming hot bowl of mac and cheese (Kraft of course!) - Things like...Why on EARTH he created spiders. I believe that jeans were created to wipe your hands on, and they can be worn more than once before washed. I believe when I get to heaven St. Peter is gonna shake his head cuz I'm gonna come in sliding into home base all dusty and dirty with my favorite pair of perfect fitting jeans, my favorite hoodie and my signature hat. I believe you should always smile. Mama still says to this day that it makes people wonder what you're up to. I believe it's always appropriate to crank the music in your car and sing along as loud as you want. I believe that you shouldn't worry about what people think about you. I believe that your real friends will love you no matter what your little quirks are. They'll love you for those quirks. Just ask my best friend. If people cant appreciate you for you, find someone else to be around. I believe in blinkers and the hundred foot rule. I also believe that driveways will NOT run away so you can pull in faster than a creep. I believe in letting someone cut in front of you in a traffic jam and I believe that truckers and motorcyclists have the right of way just as much as I do. I believe putting the pedal to metal is the only way to race. I believe in getting my hands dirty and getting under the hood as much as possible. I believe its a great release and an accomplishment when you fix a car and get it running again. I believe everyone should farm at least once in their life. Be it hang tobacco, bail hay...whatever. One of the most amazing feelings in the world is coming home after a long day of working out in the field and sitting down after a long hot shower to a glass of iced tea. Like I said. These are a few of my beliefs I wanted to share. I'll write another later.

The year in review. Good-bye 2009 and hello 2010. Lets start with the beginning of the year. Trying to conceive. The Pooh Bear and I had been trying to get pregnant for a while. We'd had a couple of blow out fights and he told me to take another pregnancy test. I did and found out in early March that I was pregnant with my amazing bundle of joy. They ran tests and found the blood tests showed yes, I was definitely pregnant, but they couldn't find the baby in the ultrasound. So they thought it was ectopic and sent me in for a Laperoscopy because the baby was in the tubes and could be fatal depending on how far along the pregnancy was. To the best of their knowledge based on my last period and the level of hormones in my blood it was getting close to critical time. I go in for surgery and wake up to my husband telling me that I am still pregnant. From there on out until mid August when I started having real problems with my blood pressure and if I continued as was it would cause me early labor. This continued into September and by September 19th I was in the hospital because of my blood pressure and I was borderline gestational diabetic and I was preaclamptic. I was in the hospital on a Saturday then by the next Friday, September 25th, by 3pm my daughter was born. It was emergency surgery and she was not supposed to have been born until November 30th. She was 10 weeks early. It was such a hard time going back and forth to the NICU but she finally came home on 11/12. It was amazing to have her home, at 4lb 7oz. It's been a hellova last few months! But my little girl is here! She's alive! And more than that, she's home! She's crashed out now, with a bottle in her mouth bless her heart. It didn't stop there though. On October 30th I went in for emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder. I went in at 7:30 that morning and woke up once more to my husband telling me that while the surgery had gone well and they'd removed my gall bladder, a few stones had gone down the tract into my liver and they had to go back in later on that day and remove the stones from my liver. It's been a crazy year. But good in the end. So I guess though it's been as trying as it has been, good-bye '09, hello '10! Nice to see ya and hope you're as good as '09 ended!!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD PEOPLE!???I watched something on the news today that really just...PISSED ME OFF!!! Ok this terrorist attack attempt on Christmas Day, and that's what it is...A TERRORIST ATTEMPT...not a Man Made Disaster (We'll get on that one in a minute)...they are in a debate on whether or not they should put him (the terrorist) directly in Gitmo or if we should let him have rights and so on and so forth. Ok everyone is all worried about his "Constitutional Rights". HE IS A TERRORIST!!! THE CONSTITUTION IS FOR PEOPLE BORN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! HE DOES NOT HAVE RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY! HE IS A TERRORIST!!! WHY ARE WE GOING TO GIVE HIM RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN? ALRIGHT PEOPLE, SINCE NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THIS, LETS REFER TO SOMETHING HERE SHALL WE? The Geneva Convention which states the rules for prisoners of war. It goes on to say that we are only held by this treaty of prisoner treatment IF the opposing country follows the same rules. Guess what people, THEY AREN'T FOLLOWING THE RULES!!! THE POLITICIANS OF THIS COUNTRY HAVE GOT TO STOP MAKING LIGHT OF WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON AND STOP BEING SO DAMNED WORRIED ABOUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!! THESE ARE TERRORIST ATTACKS PEOPLE!!! THEY ARE NOT MAN MADE DISASTERS!!! THEY ARE ATTACKS AGAINST US ON OUR SOIL!!! AND TO QUOTE SOMEONE ON THE O'REILLY FACTOR. I'M NOT SURE WHICH DEBATER I WAS BUT ONE OF THEM MADE THE STATEMENT AND I QUOTE: "OBAMA SAYING THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT IS LIKE TIGER WOODS SAYING RACHEL UCHITEL IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT!" WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! ITS TIME TO START SEEING THIS FOR WHAT IT IS. WE ARE IN WAR PEOPLE! AND IT'S GOING TO BE GOING FOR A WHILE. YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT, TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO SLEEP AT NIGHT BUT THE TRUTH IS STILL THE TRUTH AND THAT IS THIS IS WAR, THESE MEN ARE TERRORISTS AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE UNTIL WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! STICKING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT GO AWAY! WAKE UP AND REALIZE IT FOR WHAT IT IS AND NOTHING LESS!

Really...a whole new area? SO I'm watching The Weather Channel of all places to hear this, this morning. Now first off I can't STAND that NBC decided to put Al Roker on TWC in the mornings and try to turn it into another morning show! People didn't watch TWC to find out what the latest stock quotes were or to find out what was going on in Washington D.C. I mean COME ON! Sorry, a bit of a touchy subject with me. Anyway, getting back to point here...Apparently some city in Mexico became the first city to recognize gay marriage. My problem wasn't with the recognition, lord knows that's not even something I think about. But what did bother me was the fact that instead of calling it Mexico, we've become such a politically correct society that they said, and I quote, "the first city in Latin America." WHAT!? Did I just hear that? So no longer is it Central or South America, it's all Latin America. Wonder what the folks south of the border would think of that. WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO US? Case in point. My best friend has a co-worker that she is close with. She is from Mexico City. And you know, when you talk to her about her origins, she talks about Mexico proudly! She embraces where she's from and with grace! Now, if she can embrace where she's from, just like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US SHOULD, then why is it such a bad thing to say she's Mexican? I mean look at me. I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! When I go to Mexico or Canada, I don't call myself a Northern Statesman (Or even Northern Stateswoman for that matter.) Hell no! I'm a freakin American and DAMN PROUD OF IT! Further more to embrace my own heritage, I'm also part Native American, part English and part Black Spaniard! PROUDLY! So what now!? What do you call me? A Heinz 57? A mutt? Oh no, that's not politically correct. I'm a Conglomerated American. WHATEVER! WAKE UP PEOPLE! GET A FREAKIN CLUE!

Playing the victim still???When will my insecurities go away? Will they ever? How do I even begin to try and help that? I've been to counseling and it helped...sorta. Will I ever get back to myself? And for that matter, am I still playing the victim? What makes that the case? I can't stand what I've become. And every day I look at myself in the mirror more and more irritated with what has happened in my life. Maybe I am playing the victim still? My emotions seem to control my life at times. Who's to say it is my emotions. I've been told that I'm not me any more. It's true. I'm not like I used to be. When did I become so cynical? Why has my past made me so cold to the world around me? And really...who am I? I've refused to be a victim for so long, that I've become one. And I despise that fact about myself because it's weak to be the victim. And there's the truth in a nutshell. I'm weak. Then the idea was posed to me today...what is my daughter supposed to think of me? Will she see me as the coward I've made myself to be? Am I the strong individual that she needs me to be? I'm not a victim. I refuse to be labeled as such and will not allow my daughter to pay for my mistakes in life.
