I can hear the episode of SpongeBob where he tells his grandma that he is all grown-up. And so she treats him like a grown-up and then he totally breaks down because he doesn't get any attention any more. I would so do that if I thought it would work. "I da baby!"
I don't even know why I am writing right now. I didn't do shit today.
Although, I did decide that in about five and a half years, for Camy's 11th birthday, we would go on a road trip. We being Camy, Jayde and I and whoever else wants to go. We'll be basically circling the US and going a little into Canada. Speaking of which, do you need a passport to go into Canada? We might even peep into Mexico. And we'll have an awesome tent and we'll camp out as much as we can. It'll be great. And it'll probably take us all of summer vacation that year, but it will totally be worth it. I haven't hammered out all the details, obviously, but it doesn't sound too far-fetched. My step-dad is loaning me a map to look at, so I should have some more details later on tonight or tomorrow.
I am so anxious/nervous for the 6th, I wish it had already happened. I will sleep so much better with all of that figured out/ handled. I will lose so much stress once I know my girls are taken care of. I seriously would not be able to live with myself if I had just rolled over though. I am not a dog. I do not take orders so easily. I do not roll over on command. And really that's all I was trying to show him. That and that his idea of shared is NOT reasonable nor responsible. Seriously, half a week here, half a week there. Not really going to work. It's confusing to me. What the hell does he think it would do to them? We're already going to screw them up, why add to it? And yes, I know I am a good mother, but I am only saying that no matter what you do, kids will inevidently end up thinking their parents suck and having issues. You can't count on not having issues. You just can't. And now I shut up about that.
Camy and my mother decided the other day that Camy would like to take either Kung-Fu or TaeKwonDo lessons and that my mom would pay for them. Ok then. As long as she pays for everything. Equipment, uniform, transportation, lessons. I don't want to have to pay for any of it. It's the same deal I made with Kyle. I am NOT bending on it. I think she needs the discipline right now. And being in a martial art works, I just can't swing it financially since she is staying in dancing. Besides, Jayde is going to start taking in February. Or she was when I still had a job. Just hope I get the job I interviewed for. My bank account is seriously looking shabby.
I don't even know if anybody even offers Kung-Fu. Should probably look that up. Har. The only reason I say Kung-Fu is because Jayde and she have been on a Kung-Fu Panda kick ever since the movie came out. They have probably seen it like three times with daddy and like three times with me. I have seen it twice, at least. They are in love with Po. Don't blame them, though. Pandas are fucking hot. Well, Po is hot. Real pandas are just adorable. Don't think I'm into beastiality or anything. No. I wouldn't do that. EW! NASTY! Perish the thought. You nasty!
Oh, just let me say that irony rocks.
So, uh, snip snap snout, this blogs told out.

I Have To Pee
Interesting tittle, no?
I really do have to pee, though. Har.
Today was pretty good. Went to Tanger Oulet Center in Gonzales. Did a little shopping. Well, my mom and grandma did a little shopping while I stood there and watched. Haha. Had no monies.
Then we went to Cabela's, which is a huge hunting, fishing, outdoorsy store. The kids had a blast there. It's almost like DisneyWorld. They have a huge display with taxadermied animals. They even have a POLAR BEAR! It was caught in Alaska in 1970. That was my favorite.
They also had tents set up that my kids explored and I found a tent with CUPHOLDERS! My mom found a camping chair that was a rocker. And she loves rockers. She said that she would definitely go camping if she had one of those. My mom loves rockers, though. And I found a lounging chair that rocks your socks off. No, it rocks your face off. Even came with an attached pillow.
Each of my girsl got a bird with realistic bird calls. Jayde got a Blue Jay and Camy got some kind of Warbler.
They even have a snack bar inside!
It's two stories. They have a duck pond out front with fake ducks. LMAO. The kind of ducks you use as decoys when duck hunting. They sold them inside.
AND they have a firearm check in, right inside the door. HARDCORE!
They also have all kinds of hunting games set up in various spot around the store. I think you had to pay to play, though. Camy wanted me to try one. I couldn't. I've never hunted, game wise or in real life. I could never shoot a deer or anything really. I'm too chicken. And my aim is horrid.
After that we took my dad to work.
Then we came back here and chilled for a bit. I figured out that I can French braid. And I came up with an interesting sideways version too. Camy was very patient while I braided her hair...twice. Jayde hollered the whole time. And I was only trying to do a normal braid on her! Whiney butt!
At about 5:30 we went to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Awesome experience! I have NEVER been seated that quickly. I walk in ask the host how long. Tell him we have six. He asks if inside or out. I say inside. He says he can put two together but then he looks over his shoulder and says that he can have one as soon as we all get in. I get everybody in, he wipes down the table and boom. I like going before the rush. We finished right as the rush was about to begin. And we got entertained while we dined. They danced to two different songs. The kids liked that. Jayd was bopping in her seat to the music almost the whole time. Even when she was eating. I have NEVER seen her enjoy mac 'n' cheese THAT much.
After dinner we went shopping at Wal-Mart. Got some basic items. And were home by 9.
Jayde helped me push an empty cart around Wal-Mart. We had a system, and I only ran into a pole once due to looking at her. We were chanting. "Big step, big step, big step. Turn, turn, turn turn turn. Big step, big step, big step. Stop." I had her taking as big a step as she could. Then when my back starting to hurt, I told her I couldn't make it. And she goes, "Whew, I tired." So we collapsed on the floor. Yeah, we got some stares, but I didn't really mind. Nobody in our party minded.
Camy was walking by my mom who had a scooter. She loves helping her gran. She felt like such a big girl. Just about the only thing she didn't grab for my mom were the cokes. I got those. She didn't want them to land on her face. She ran off when I reached for it and goes, "Not my face, not my face!" What a card!
I JUST got her settled into bed at 12:15. I threatened to make her get up at 6 and go with Mamaw all day. Didn't REALLY think it would happen, but she didn't have to know that. The threat worked. She'll probably wet the bed, but at least she's asleep.
And that's it. Second day of the year, complete!

Inspiration Time
First blog of the new year. Cool beans.
Well...kinda.
Am in the middle of something, so, I will post some random questions and my answers. Sound like fun? Sure, it does.
Brainstorm 10 titles to your autobiography. (thank you, Nik)
1. Me. Completely. (obviously)
2. How Did I Get Here, Anyway?
3. It's a Blond Life
4. Just Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
5. You Tell Me, And We'll Both Know
6. From the Ground Up: The Story of Me
7. I'm Right, You're Wrong
8. Quit Staring At Me!
9. Why Girls Rock
10. From Dust To Dust: My Life
Assuming you believe that there is such thing as a soul, when do you think you "get" it? At birth? At conception? At baptism? Other? (Thank you again, Nik)
At conception, no contest. A baby starts gaining its personality in the womb. It picks up on things in uteri. I can tell you, from experience, that a baby has a personality before it's even born. So, if personality and soul go hand in hand, then it stands to reason that a soul forms at conception.
What was your favorite grade in elementary school? List 10 reasons why. (Nik!)
2nd grade
Why?
1. "Mrs. Mo'! Mrs. Mo'!" Allow me to elaborate. My teacher's name was Mrs. Moore, and there was a kid who called her that no matter how many times she asked him not to.
2. That was when I got my big blue dictionary FROM Mrs. Moore. She inscribed it with some words of wisdom that still make me cry to this day
3. That was when I really "found my voice." I never said much until that year.
4. That was the year my independence started to bloom. I used to make my grandma walk me to the classroom before that.
5. BOOK IT! Pizza party
6. I was in a Kumon math training video that year.
7. I met Julie Anne that year.
8. I learned the trick of adding nines that year
9. That was the year of my one and only birthday party
10. Jingle bell shoes! All the girl scouts in my grade had bells on their shoes for Christmas. They were Keds someone's mom decorated and put bells in the laces. They were banned because of us.
Share your worst memory/least favorite part of 2008. (NIK!)
Getting fired for having my permit expire and then being told to not reapply when I got it (license).
What do you want MOST to happen in 2009? (Who else?)
DIVORCE and boyfriend
So, what's on your "Bucket List"? (This was mine, actually)
-Learn Tai Chi
-Learn Yoga
-Move to Hollywood
-Move to NYC
-See Paris
-See London
-Move to London
-Write a novel
-Go skydiving
-Meet at least one online friend
-Work with Sutan
-Drive a Harley
-Go three rounds with Laila Ali
-Pose for Playboy
-Become published
Are you afraid of death? (Mrs. Nicole)
I'm more afraid of what does or doesn't come after.
What were you doing last night as 2008 changed into 2009? (N.W.)
I was standing in the neighbor's carport giving Camy a small kiss.
And that's it. I need sleep.

It's the Last Blog of the Year
So, I got Kyle's desk mess pretty much cleaned. You wouldn't believe the bag of garbage I'm tossing out. And it's about halfway finished. I've got a few hours to get it finished. Midnight is the deadline.
We're having chilli for dinner tonight. Chilli is love. We've got cheese and corn chips and oyster crackers to go with it. YAY!
My mom came over and is in charge of the black-eyed peas and cabbage so that we can eat it at midnight tonight. Don't ask me. Is a family tradition. Not sure where it came from. Not sure I want to know.
Our neighbors invited us to do fireworks with them tonight. They promised non-loud ones. So happy. Camy and Jayde HATE loud fireworks or really loud things in general. But they won't be here until about 8. Hope Kyle isn't counting on putting them to bed. I am letting them stay up until they pass out. It's freaking New Years!
He's picking them up in Hammond at about 5 and then they are going to dinner with his mom or whatever. I just hope they don't come in with like a million things. They did "Christmas" this week, I'm sure. They went to Chuck E. Cheese's and to see The Tale of Despereaux yesterday. And yes, they had already seen the movie. Oh well! Jayde didn't talk throughout the entire movie this time.
I really hope she didn't pee in her pants. She was doing so well. She just needs encouragement to keep it up. She's funny that way.
Amongst the clothes we found for her, we found a winter hat. Just hope it fits. It's cute as hell. She'll get a kick out of it. Of this I am sure.
Anyway, my New Year's resolution is to do more community work and to "give back" more. Should be easy. I'll be trying to collect hats for St. Jude, coats for Coats for Kids, and fans for the elderly. I'll be doing a virtual lemonade stand with Alex's Lemonade Stand, and some other stuff. 2009 is a building year. I also vow to keep my job longer than seven months. And I also promise a list a week. I've already got my first one in the works. And that's it from me.

It Was the Year That Would Not End
How much longer do we have with 2008? It's taking forever.
I need to attack the mess on Kyle's desk. I feel like just clearing the whole thing off and then just going through it bit by bit. Actually, to be honest, I feel like throwing it ALL in the garbage. But I can't do that. We have house papers in the mess. Blah. I'mma do that tomorrow.
Went through like a bajillion boxes of clothes today. Found an entire winter wardrobe for Jayde. SCORE! Don't have to go shopping for her now. Any way I can save money is a plus. Also, my grandma found my AT&T rebate card. I have $33 left on it. SCORE AGAIN! Now, I just have to get up off of my butt and mail Christmas cards. Haha. And a box for Jess. And some clothes to Brandie. And some clothes to Meagan. And. And. There goes my whole $33. Which reminds me, I need to finish and send off CK's notebook. FUCK! I need more time in a day! Or I just need to not procrastinate as much. Yes. That sounds right.
I need to go on a myspace purge. Yeah. A 35-day myspace purge. So. Starting on Jan 1 and ending on Feb. 4 I will have a myspace purge. Shall be fun. That's possibly where I spend most of my time procrastinating. There. More time.
And now I have to pee.

I Don't Know a Thing About Being a Governess
It's the 28th and the end comes on Wednesday. WOW!
Just saw Janelle for the first time in forever and she looks like she's 13. She's 10. She has boobs, and hips, and I wouldn't be surprised if she has her period already. She got a cell for Christmas and was texting when she was here. No boyfriend, though. Gotta give her that much. Or well, gotta give her grandma that much. She isn't being raised by her parents. God bless Rachel, though. At least she knows she isn't capable of taking care of her. She's kind of a flake. I mean worse than me. I have never forgotten my kid at school. I don't see how someone could. But then again, Camy rides the bus. But that was her choice. She'd been asking me for about two years if she could.
Anyway, back to my entry. I hate when I get off track. Annoying!
Oh and my P streak is back on. Four days again. I wish he would just call me. If he wants to get in touch with me that bad, he knows my number. Maybe I should have at least texted him "Merry Christmas." I love guilt. It's fun.
I can hear The Sound of Music in the living room. I used to love that movie. And the hills being alive never scared me. LOL
