My own independance day!
One year ago today.... my step daughter and her friend were on a mission to ruin the days of unsuspecting individuals. My friend, Greta calls me up early in the morning and says "So the neighbors cars were vandalized last night" I said "the girls did it" She said "no I dont think they did" Then she proceeds to tell me that they slept outside on the trampoline!To make a very long story short.... the girls vandalized 5 cars in Greta's neighborhood! One of them, causing felony damage. The victims had one year to file police reports and press charges..... today..... time is up!I could care less if they were taken away for vandalizing.... but we as parents are poor as hell! They knew better.... they didnt use good judgement! They were out to impress each other!So needless to say... we are home free and I think those little girls should thank their lucky stars that no one pressed charges!!WHEW!!!!!!!

Playing Catch up
Where have I been since my last post, you ask?!
I am sure you dont care but humor me! :o)
So we put the house up for sale in anticipation to purchase a smaller house. With the way the economy is, I hate having a 2K mortgage payment, paying over two hundred in electricity and 130 in water each month! Woody and I came to grips and saw that we were living for the house more than we were living for the girls. I pay 650 every two weeks for daycare... I am broke... and I hate it!
Thus, our decision....
In the mean time, he has been looking towards new jobs... here and there! Just exploring what is out there. Nothing serious.... or so I thought. He should be presented with a job offer in Santa Fe sometime this week, possibly early next week. Either way, we know it is coming! The blow to my gut.... (Liz dont be calling Jeremy cause we dont know how this will pan out!) Woody will be on a plane first thing Monday morning heading out to Denver for a job interview. OK, I am like a kid on this.... Albuquerque is my home. My parents are here, my job is here and my friends are here. I dont want to go. He is the bread winner in the house though, Albuquerque, does not pay what he is really worth. (I guess it really pays to be a computer nerd!) Anyway, we will see what is meant to be. And NO this was not part of the plan to put the house up. Part of me hopes that the Santa Fe offer comes in too high for him to want to go anywhere else!
Let's see... I love love love my job! Absolutely loving it! I stay to myself and talk to all of 4 people! I must admit that I have already gone to my supervisor and informed him that I had a nice chat with a co-worker on the do's and don'ts of working with her. I politely let her know that I one day... will upset her, make her cry, and really piss her off. I informed her that I would not walk on egg shells around her. And upon telling the supervisor that... I saw that look, you know, the one that is like... G R E A T !!!! I let him know this was not something I would strive to do, but the possibility was there. LOL. Again, when I say I love my job, I mean it!! Everyone is nice... and again... believe it or not I do mind my own business. I have met alot of nice "new" people and actually strive to meet more!
Last weekend I helped a friend ring in her 30th birthday! It was boat loads of fun! We stayed at her party roughly 3 hours. In that time, I managed to suck down ... oh... at least 12 to 15 jello shots, 2 shots of Patron, and a shot of some Apple Korn shit. And guess what I was still standing and just a wee bit tipsy! LOL... Not even a hang over the next morning. From the sounds of it.... the best part of the party happened after we left! LOL
This weekend is July 4th weekend. We are having my in laws in town, my parents will be over and then another friend and her hubby will be over. I will begin making Jello Shots tomorrow evening in hopes that my mother in law will be cool enough to suck one or two down with me! LOL Lots of pictures to come!
Well I suppose I must close for now as I just turned into "Chunk" from the Goonies and spilled my guts on everything!
I will try to get away and post a very special post tomorrow! LOL Until then......

You sneaky thing.......
So have you ever not felt like you had to fart and you did something and one crept out?
That was me..... today!
I went into Paytons class to pick her up. The class was full of kids, three teachers, myself, and another parent.
I walk in to get my kid, pick her up and take a step back so the father of another child could get his kid while one teacher went and got Paytons report card for the day.
I cough (cause I really needed to clear my throat) and out of nowhere the loudest fart fell out from my butt! You know that feeling of everyone just heard it and so you try your best to cover it up? Yeah, well, there was none of that! It was obvious it came from me and not the father standing next to me. All I could do was smile! I was mortified....
The smile would not leave my face all the way out to the car. I put Payton in her carseat, get in on my side and start laughing so hard, I proceed to cry! Woody and Greta (we carpool to work) were asking what the hell I was laughing about. I regain myself and ask a simple question, "Have you ever accidentally farted in a place, and it was so loud it shook where you were at?" All they could reply with was "No, you didnt!!" And all I could do was laugh and say oh yes I did! We must have sit there laughing for 10 minutes over my stupidness!!
As I sit and write this, I still have that smile on my face. For the life of me, I cant figure out if the smile is due to utter embarrassment or that I am so very proud that something so loud snuck out!!

My one wish....
may have come true.
I did not want the wish to happen as we assume it did!
Everyone knows my love for cats....
Many nights when our cat ran out the house and didnt want to come back in, I would say "I wish he would just find a new home"
Well, my friends, I believe my little Samson found a new home in the gut of a coyote!
Sad I know.....
He is usually standing at the back door as I open the blinds in the morning and today, he wasnt.
I..... yes I, drove the neighborhood trying to see if I saw any roadkill. I looked in the ditch where he frequents. And here it is 10:22pm and my cat, has not returned home. Today was a hot day too... and he always comes to check in!
Not today.....
He has either found himself a woman.... or was another animals lunch!
If he does come back in a few days, he will be grounded to the house for a while! LOL
I just have to come up with a plan to keep him in, since the way he gets out is the dog door.
hhhmmmmmm..... I just may think my feelings are actually hurt over this!

A week and a half.......
My girls have been at daycare for a week and a half. So far Hannah is doing rather well. As far as we know she has only been in time out once. She claims she was running around and the other kids were teasing her. That translates to I was not listening to the teacher and doing my own thing making fun of everyone. No sickness to report yet!
Payton on the other hand..... it is 1:07 pm and I am not blogging from my desk at work. Rather from the couch at my house. After the longest night of my life last night..... I got up called in to work, carted one kid to daycare and the other to urgent care! My "booger" (yes I call my kid booger) has a double ear infection! No wonder she was so assed up last night.
Here is some interesting news that the doctor passed on to me:
The AMA (or some medical board thing) has done studies and found that out of 100 ear infections, only 4 of them are bacterial and truly needs antibiotics. For the rest of the 96 kids, they are suggesting to not treat the ear infection with antibiotics. The toll of an ear infection runs about 10 days and after 3 the pain starts getting better.
That is great news..... for other parents! I want my child feeling better, um, NOW!
Needless to say, I left urgent care with not only the antibotic but with those wonderful little numbing ear drops!
For the past hour my kid has been resting.... she isnt screaming like she was this morning. But this is tolerable!
So yes, 1 month back to work..... I call in
1 week at daycare.... let the ear infections begin!
This again was why I hated daycare when Hannah went there! I am ready for this.... because for the first time in a long time. I like my job, I like my boss, and I like the people I work with!

I cant..... I'm pooping!
Hannah (the 4 year old) has a bad habit of procrastinating. When it comes time to do something she likes to come up with a different reason on why she needs to do something else. Tonight topped it all!!
We sat down for dinner... she did not want to eat, so it was the usual "Hannah, eat your dinner" Hannah replies with "why" and "what happens if I dont?".
We keep patiently telling her that she must finish her dinner! She says "oh no" and runs toward the bathroom. We continue our conversation and eating. About 5 minutes later, we tell her to quit playing games and come out of the bathroom so that she can finish eating her dinner. She says "I can't I'm pooping!" I said you better pinch it off and get out here cause I know you aren't. She says "Well I am pooping and peeing and pooping and peeing" We laugh and tell her again to come and eat her dinner. She responds with a grunt and a sigh of relief. Then a little chuckle!
I really want to know where she comes up with these things! It isnt like we sit in there and do things like that!
So in the end, my quick witted child, pinched it off, and after telling her she would sit at the table all night, ate all her dinner!

I am still here!
Well I am still here...
I have been on the lazy side lately. Well not lazy, busy!
Scott was in town... a blast! Loved every minute of the torture I went through while he was here!
I took off on Monday and promised the boss I'd work 4 10's... HOLY SHIT!! I dont understand how people do it and by the end of the week are still standing! I worked 12 hours today cause I took an hour lunch to go to Wizzy's good bye lunch... and I am exhausted.
While at lunch today the boss mentioned that I have been rather quiet since I went back to work there. I love how everyone notices that these days! LOL It is like a shocker to them.... but then later on towards the end of the night I got stuck on this price thingy I was doing and, well, lets just say the "old" Robin appeared for a brief second or two! LOL The boss was so excited that he got me all "frazzled" cause nothing has done it this far! It's ok, I worked past it and moved right along! I just was getting pissed at myself for not understanding what the hell I was supposed to be researching.
I really wish Liz was staying.. LOL.. not because I get her accounts, but because she is a really nice person once you get to know her. She is super funny too!
I really am glad I went back to work at Cardinal..
This week, I get home have time to eat put Payton down, shower, put Hannah down and go to bed! I cant wait till this week is over!
I know I forgot Wordless Wednesday.... maybe I will treat you to a picture over the weekend!
Right now.... I am off to smoke! Gotta love cigarettes! LOL

It worked!
SO the ultimate surprise went rather well.
My brother arrived with his family... safe and sound.
All the while, my mom and dad were supposed to be staying in El Paso for the night. My dad got her mad enough to say "FINE... we will just go home". While, my poor dad was being told off every minute of his 4 hour drive, my brother was waiting for them to get close enough for him to cart the entire family to surprise my mom! AND IT WORKED!!! She had no clue! LOL
Here was the phone call I received when she got home tonight:
Me: Hello
Mom: You son of a bitch! I cussed your dad out for 4 hours, got nothing to eat or drink, and had to take a poo really bad!
Me: Well.... I didnt want to ruin your surprise, but I am glad it worked. Did you get to take a poo though... cause you know nothing bugs like needing to take a poo when the driver wont pull over!
Mom: I can't believe you guys pulled this over on me!
Me: Mom, we pull alot over on you and to this day you still dont figure it out
Mom: I gotta go before your smart ass really does piss me off!
Me: I love you too Mom, and I will see you tomorrow... nighty night!
Mom: Bye ROBIN!!
ROFLMAO!
And we called to check in a while later and she mentioned that while she was doing all her complaining, my dad just looked over and said "Woman, dont make me back hand you!" LOL (For those who know my husband, this is where my dad got that comment from... and NO, it doesnt happen, in either house!) So my mom proceeds to tell my husband that my dad is spending a little too much time with him if my dad is picking up his verbage! LOL
I would say, that was a well planned surprise! Nothing makes me happier than seeing my mother that happy! I think I really know what a pig must feel like while rolling around in poo! :0)

No longer a fart magnet!
So I mentioned before, I think, that I was leaving Wal-mart....
Yes that is right, I am no longer a fart magnet, and no longer the person that pissed off people happily tell off while I smile and nod!
I went back to my job of 5 years that I had before Payton was born....
I gotta say it hasnt been all that bad. I graduated training this week. The last two weeks that is what I have been doing.... training. That blows! But I am glad to be back there.
It seemed like I was a kid in elementary school, gone for the summer. Then the most popular kid came back to school type of feeling! Really not like that... but I have had quite a few run ins that were nice. It was nice to catch up with a few folks.
I learned though, that before I even went back that drama will always be there.... I now choose to talk to a few with deep thoughts, and talk in passing to a few and even just keep it job related with others. I am there to work, not really make friends. Most people remember me as a big ol bitch.... and I just might prefer it that way! :0)

Where's my raise?
With the "rising" cost of gas... everything is seeing the toll! Food has gone up, just heard on the news that the gas prices for PNM is going up by 9 bucks, even gas to get from point "A" to point "B" has gone up. Yesterday on my way to work gas was $3.67, on my way home, at the same station, it went up to $3.79!
So apparently everything is going up, but MY pay?!
Ever ponder how us people are gonna get where we need to go, let alone pay for bills? Companies dont want to put out any more money on people to get them to work because the company itself is suffering too!
This is crazy!! When is it gonna stop??

Mistress Xbox!!
My husband is having an affair! Or maybe it is an addiction. Either way it's pissin me off! LOL
I go to work, and people ask what I did last night..... "oh I watched TV" they say "what did you watch" my response "My husband.... play xbox live!"
Pretty much every night that there is not something on TV that he wants to watch.... I am tortured with having to watch freaking xbox live! Bad........
Then today... I walk in the house approximately 30 minutes AFTER him..... can ya guess what he is doing?! Yup.... having an affair!
Guess when it really comes down to what else we would be doing..... it would be a whole lot of nothing. But seriously...... when does this shit become addicting, right?!

My own waxing story......
There was a email circulating about a gal who, in short, waxed her butt cheeks together while she was trying to wax her bikini area....... let me tell you my waxing story.....
One of my best friends cuts my hair and waxes my eye brows. Ok so she is a beautician!
Well I thought I would save her the hassle of waxing my furry critters on a monthly basis...
I am, what you would call an AVON lady, I have no shame in buying anything from there!
So I see a waxing kit.... I think, right on!!! I can do this myself... how hard is it?
I get my order which contains the waxing kit. And I read the instructions, just in case you should be a brain surgeon to perform such a task.
I heat the wax, then stir, then heat it some more. I take the wax out of the microwave... I was so excited by my do it yourself task that I spill it on my right hand. I say a very loud four letter word, put my wax down and the fun began!!
In all my brillance, I went to wash my hands ..... I rubbed them together... putting wax on my right hand. Another four letter word fell out of my mouth. I squirt soap on my hands, only to spread the wax around even more. So I had to dry my hands before I could attempt to get the wax off my hands. I grabbed a paper towel.... did you know paper towels stick to hands with wax covered all over them?! Wasn't a pretty scene!
Tried icing my hands..... didn't work!
Tried hot water.... didn't work!
Tried peeling the shit off my hands.... as you guessed, that didnt work either!
So I swallow my pride, knowing that no matter what I did, my hands would always be covered in wax, and called Juanita!
I reminded her about the time I cut my own hair and asked her how much she loved me. She immediately asked "What did you do?" I said "Well do you remember the email about the lady that waxed her buttcheeks together?" And she started laughing at me. I told her my situation.
The smartest person in the world...... after she got past all her laughing, told me to put Vegetable oil on my hands and it should come off. Brillant!! I hang up... go to the pantry, get out my vegetable oil and go to town. I'll be damned if that stuff didnt come off!! I immediately went up stairs, took a shower and came down to tackle everything I touched! Wow.... Juanita is the smartest girl in the world!! So right! LOL...
Needless to say.... I have learned not to be in a rush when trying to waxing my own eye brows! And I learned that maybe, just maybe... plucking is the easiest way to go!
Did I learn, hell no.....I'll be back at it again! :o)
I am just glad I tried waxing my eyebrows the first time and not my bikini area! Poor Juaniters would have had to have been called in to help a sista out!!! YIKES!!!
One of my best friends cuts my hair and waxes my eye brows. Ok so she is a beautician!
Well I thought I would save her the hassle of waxing my furry critters on a monthly basis...
I am, what you would call an AVON lady, I have no shame in buying anything from there!
So I see a waxing kit.... I think, right on!!! I can do this myself... how hard is it?
I get my order which contains the waxing kit. And I read the instructions, just in case you should be a brain surgeon to perform such a task.
I heat the wax, then stir, then heat it some more. I take the wax out of the microwave... I was so excited by my do it yourself task that I spill it on my right hand. I say a very loud four letter word, put my wax down and the fun began!!
In all my brillance, I went to wash my hands ..... I rubbed them together... putting wax on my right hand. Another four letter word fell out of my mouth. I squirt soap on my hands, only to spread the wax around even more. So I had to dry my hands before I could attempt to get the wax off my hands. I grabbed a paper towel.... did you know paper towels stick to hands with wax covered all over them?! Wasn't a pretty scene!
Tried icing my hands..... didn't work!
Tried hot water.... didn't work!
Tried peeling the shit off my hands.... as you guessed, that didnt work either!
So I swallow my pride, knowing that no matter what I did, my hands would always be covered in wax, and called Juanita!
I reminded her about the time I cut my own hair and asked her how much she loved me. She immediately asked "What did you do?" I said "Well do you remember the email about the lady that waxed her buttcheeks together?" And she started laughing at me. I told her my situation.
The smartest person in the world...... after she got past all her laughing, told me to put Vegetable oil on my hands and it should come off. Brillant!!

I got a "lurker".....
So I write my blogs just for something to do. Most of the time they make no sense right?! Well anyway, I have a fan! I learned today that someone I saw in passing at work, way back when.... follows my blog. Shout out to Suicidal Jane... LOL Anyway, really made me feel like a superstar in a wierd kind of way.
Am I that interesting? Or is it that she is that bored?! hehehe But I must admit... I too was nosing around the different blogs and did read hers a time or two. I suppose if you have a blog it is open for anyone to read unless you lock it down for your own reasons.
I admit I am no Dooce, but damn it I am trying!
On a heavier note... I must get off from blogging to go pick up the dead gutted rabbit that my stupid cat brought home today.

Busy, Busy Busy
I know lately I have no been posting like I have in the past, and I have a really good reason for it. I got a life again!! LOL
I quit the night job at Wal-mart and went back to the day job I had for 5 years before the baby was born. As a matter of fact I was thinking this morning..... that job has seen me get married and have 2 kids! I got married almost 6 years ago! All in all I am glad to be back in an enviroment that I like. Yesterday was my first day and it sort of felt like I was in school and gone for the summer. I got to see all the people that I have spent some time with over the years! It was nice. It is all so new again, so I will post next week to tell you I cant stand it again... LOL
Any way, lots of focusing on Lauren, my step daughter. Not too sure what her intentions were when she decided to come out here. Not too sure why she even came. It sure was easier without her here and it didnt cause the strain on my relationship like it does now (again!). I can honestly tell you I have really tried this time around to be a better step monster to her. But that isnt good enough for her. She looks up to her mother..... a woman that treats her like a sister rather than a friend. I do remember a time where Lauren told my husband and I, her mother "neglected and abused" her and her brother. I now think her mother has something on her that Lauren is worried will get back to us if she does not continue to kiss her ass. Anyway, Lauren is striving to be her mother!! sad......
Payton can walk.... but wont! She is the laziest thing I have ever seen! LOL She better get used to it because she starts daycare on June 2nd and HAS to walk all the time there!
That is my life over the past week in a nutshell. I must get my children ready for the day and get out the door to go to work!
