Just More Plans!
I need a room, and a living room. So, here it goes!
SOFA! This is really the only piece I need and it matches the shit I already have. We're doing a magnolia theme. The coffee table and the end table I have already match this. They're about the same color as the dark brown. And a magnolia is about shade as the ivory color. I already have a painting that will go over it. I might need a television stand and a couple of chairs. I might be able to get away with one. I also might need a new rug? I don't even know what kind of floors I'll have, obviously, as I don't have a place picked. Anyway, this sofa
is from Rooms To Go. It's price is about $4oo and it is called the Wesley sofa. I might just go ahead and get a love seat and a chair instead of two chairs. I really like the Wesley Lovesea
. It's a smaller version of this sofa. It costs about $380. And I guess I'll have to get a chair that looks the same? Can I do that? I mean, sorry, you weren't in my head. I mean, can I mix and match furniture colors? Idunno. Never seen it done. That'd be new. LOL. They'd call the style "Simply Susan". Har. "Oh. I see you have a "Simply Susan" style den. Neat." And actally I was wondering. Do I really want a sofa and a loveseat or do I want a loveseat and a chaise. Or what? Or do I wan a recliner or a chair chair. Or do I want one of each and not a loveseat? So many decisions. So, I'll post all of my picks, do the calculations and then decide. Just planning anyway. Nothing is FINAL! So, this is the recliner/rocker I'd get. It definitely doesn't match absolutely, but I figure it's close enough. This is about $600, which is more than the couch! And it is a Lynley Hazelnut Rocker Recliner
. Or I can get this one. This is the Francis Beige Recliner. 
It costs $450. While it only has one color, the color definitely matches better. And here's a wild chair! It's the Gregory Swivel Chair
. Now, on this one, the dark brown doesn't match absolutely, but the ivory does. Interesting, no? Anyway, it costs about $650 and would probably have me wanting to strangle my little darlings. You know how they like to spin chairs. Oh. By the by, there IS a Wesley Chair
. It's $350. I'm thinking I might just SKIP the chaise thing. They're OOGLY! I'm really kinda disapointed that they don't have a Wesley Ottoman. But who needs an ottoman anyway? This is about need not want!
Next we come to entertainment centers. I don't need a whole lot. Just something to keep the kids out of the DVDS and stuff and it has to hold the television up. Just something basic in other words. And THIS
is NOT what I'm talking about. The Santa Cruz Wall Unit is NOT what I mean. It's nice. But no. I need something more along the lines of The Morton Console for $450
. That's what I REALLY need.

IF they each have their own room here are the plans:
Jayde:
-gets a new bed (twin/princess)
- horse/my little pony themed
-pink walls
-gets the cradle and baby dolls
-gets one of my dressers (the shorter one)
-gets the quilt rack
-gets Todd's nightstand and new lamp
Camryn:
-gets my old bed (twin/princess)
- TinkerBell/fairy/pixie themed
-purple walls
-gets the other of my dressers (the taller one)
-gets my nightstand and new lamp
-gets the cedar chest with blankets inside
Susan:
-gets a new dresser
-gets a new nightstand and lamp
-Asian themed
- same color it is now (dark teal)
-gets new dresser
-gets new bed (double/prince)
-takes one of the dress up trunks
IF there is only one room for the girls they want the following:
-a bunk bed (comes with drawers and a desk- each will get three drawers, Camy will use the desk, will each still have their own lamp)
- Tinkerbell/fairy/pixie and horse/my little pony theme integrated
-pink and purple walls with an armchair railing
- Still get my dressers
-cradle and dolls
-keep ALL the dressup trunks
-I get the cedar chest
-Mamaw keeps the quilt rack
-extra twin bed becomes a "nanny bed".

13 Days
13 days until my beheading ceremony. Haha.
Not having a good day today.
I'm really tired of the mental beat down I keep getting. From my grandmother. Really? Are you serious? You love me the most my foot. I'm the only one of your grandchildren you do this to. Be a grandmother for God sake. You don't have to be the one to burst my bubble all the time. You don't have to be my reality check. I know what the reality of the situation is. I don't need that. Just be happy for me when I'm happy, sad for me when I'm sad, and encourage me when I'm anxious. Why can't you? No, you have to lay on the guilt and act like you can't trust me. WTF? I'm not the one you have a problem with. I am not a liar. I never have been. That's the way I was brought up. And you know that. So quit acting like you don't. It's annoying. And you aren't stupid. So quit pulling that too. You're more alert than any grandmother I know. Get over it. You aren't dying tomorrow. Sorry. You aren't. You're in too good a shape. Maybe you shouldn't have taken such good care of yourself. God forbid you outlive your mother. Your mother had LUNG CANCER. She smoked. And wouldn't stop. You did. Okay? Yes. Living happens when you take care of yourself. And really, when you act like a grandmother, I am really glad you did that. I am. It's just when you stomp around and act like I'm a horrible person that I wish you would die. I'm hard enough on myself. Why can't you just support me? I'm supposed to be my worst critic, not you. Geez.
Sorry. Had to get that out. This is what happens when you live with your grandmother. Not love. Not unconditional love anyway. You get betterment tips. You get guilt. You get treated like you're a moron. Fuck you if you think I'm the favorite! I'm not. Let her live with you for a while. Let's see how favorite you think I am then. Maybe you'll get some of the crap I've had to put up with for years. See if you put THAT title on me still. See if you like being pressured all the time by someone who isn't yourself. See if you like being told how you're doing it all wrong. See if you like being told what a liar you are. And how you can't be trusted. See how good that feels. So yeah. If favorite means most criticized then, yes, that's me. Go to hell!
Obviously I wasn't done...
But now I am

On the Up and Up
Got an email from OLOLRMC, and yes, P was right. WTFE. I just had to see. Totally not sweating it.
Got a call from the place in Watson. Yes, mother, I am glad I applied. Got an interview for Monday @ 1.
Kids go to Jackson again this weekend. Will probably spend tonight at a hotel again. Haha. Too bad for him. The things he will do to keep his lie going are amazing. Although, he IS still a man. I laugh. I laugh hard.
If I get the job in Watson, will totally be moving up there. Saw a great little neighborhood close to the store.
I hope that changes the arrangement. I hope that means he can't just come to my house and put them to bed any more. Sounds like a question for el lawyer.
Found out how much I'll be getting back from the federal gov't for taxes and it's a pretty little penny. Can make 3 car payments and still have some to get up to northern MS for "Christmas." And the local tax just might pay for el tattoo. I just have to get the forms. Too bad Brian (the step-dad) doesn't work for LDR any more. That step would be so much easier then. Oh well.
This itchiness has gotten outta control. I wish I knew what was causing it. My skin's not talking.
Totally broke my myspace purge. I had to. I wanted to look at Stan's tattoos. If he's doing my phoenix tattoo, I have to check him out. He's gonna draw it up for me too. Because I say so. Although 8 hours is awfully far to drive for an awesome tattoo done by a friends' S.O. Oh well. I've totally convinced my gma to go with me. Ray Charles Plaza for her, tattoo for me. I bet my mom would love the Riverquarium too. That's not until July, though anyway. I'll have time to save up for all of that. And I'll convince el madre to let me drive. I've driven her Durango around town, I just have to learn to Interstate with it. That could take a while. That thing is el huge! And you thought the Hummer was big. And it still might be, but these wheels are almost as tall as Jayde. And she's no shortie. She's 37", maybe 38" So, these wheels ain't small, by any means. The top of my Avenger, the TOP, comes up to her door, like the middle of her door. OK? And I almost fall out of the thing any time I get out. And getting in? Fahgetabouit! I has to climb in like a kid. She needs running boards like whoa. Oh yes. Durangos are scary creatures. I kid you not.
Mom and Brian are going on vaca starting tonight. It's their anniversary trip. They got married on 02-02-01. I was a Junior in highschool. Seventeen before I got a dad. LMAO. That kills me. It wasn't that funny at the time, but now it is. Don't ask. Oh and Moody Blue (the Avenger) will have been in my possesion for a year by then. And she is totally getting a make over this weekend. I've got the apolstery cleaner and the time, and now she's getting a clean. And then? NO MORE DRIVE THRU IN THE CAR! If we don't have time to get out and eat, we won't be getting it. -sets foot down- I'm putting my foot down.
What else?
Jayde decided she was a cat today, so I made her strip naked. She cried. We talked and now she's decided that she is a little girl. I told her all of the things that cats can't do. You should have seen her face. "No cheese?!" I'm a mean mommy, I know, but it worked. No more cats. It all started because she was dumping coke onto the window seat and licking it up. Gross!

Not Da Baby!
Sorry it's been so long since I've written. This week has rushed by.
My baby turned three today. I made a time line of polaroids to share. YAY! I just don't have one for today. LOL. By the by, this idea came from my friend Tiana. Tiana had a baby one day before I had Jayde. We call them our almost twins. LMAO
We're gonna have professional ones done soon, and I'll share that photoshoot with you the day I get them back. It's our annual shoot. We usually do it as close to the actual date as possible, which usually means around the first week of February (when bitches get paid).
Anyway, on with the show:
