FUNKYTOWN!!

Im alive lol

I know  I haven't been around for a while, but the summer was busy and hot like hell. It was so great! we really got to enjoy the new pool and the kids didn't get on my nerves that much :) which is a very good thing!

So back to school went well, sort of uneventful now that the kids are grown :(  but growing up has its pros and cons i guess.

I did have my girls nite out on saturday night. WOW! we had such a blast, we went to a club downtown, something we havent done is years lol, like i mean a lot of years, like 10 maybe. Sad but true, time flies, I think we should do it more often, we had so much fun, but the next morning my feet, legs, thighs, and ass were killing me. But i'm all healed again and ready for another night dancing my ass off lol.

So let me talk a bit about my pet peeve about the girls nite out. lots of venting to come, so feel free to ignore me lol. so i send out the email way in advance as usual, and a few people respond, and most don't. Like i don't get it? how hard is it for people to decide on going or not? r we like 16  when we would wait to find out who is going with us? or  whose going to be there, to make a decision on if we r going ? it seems people have a hard time committing to anything, and an equally hard time saying no. I spoke to a few friends about the gno and they were supposed to join the rest of us, but up until it was time to leave, i didn't hear from them, so i was pissed. Anyway , the next day i heard from this friend , and totally let her have it, i mean if u don't want to come just say so , but this not responding business is bebe lala stuff . and if its gonna continue, i just wont invite u anymore, she said, i know sorry, i was wiped !  Wiped! i responded, we r all wiped! its the story of all our lives but we make an effort once a month to get together with friends and have a good time!

anyway bottom line is, i wont allow that to put a damper on my night,  we had such a blast!

BBIIIIIIIGGGGG BBBUUTTTTT!!!!

I had almost forgotten to write down this story, my life is sometimes so busy, i totally neglect this blog.....

I went to the gas station to put some gas in my car, my kids were in the back seat as usual. It was a sunny afternoon as i pulled into the station and found a free pump. As i pulled in, another car pulled in along side me. I watched as this car with several teenage boys pulled up and one of them got out to pump the gas. I got out of my car and moved around to the other side to start the pump. At that very moment, I hear a loud , very loud and annoying yell. At first i couldnt make out where it was coming from or what the noise was. As i start the pump, i am facing the car with the teenagers and realize the noise is coming from the back seat of their car. I still cant make out what the kid is screaming, but the other friends , the one pumping the gas and the other in the car, are yelling for him to shut up............to no avail. i then realize as the message is played to me over and over  more slowly, that he is shouting BIG BUTT!. I quickly scan the gas station and realize, i am the only one there with a big butt lol. I realize he is shouting at me....It continues BBIIGGGGGGGGGGGGG BBBBUUTTTTTTTTT . BIG BIG BIG BIGGGGGGG BUUUUUTTTTTT!
I try to ignore him as his friends are clearly embarassed cause i am making direct eye contact with them. He on the other hand pulls out his cell phone and points it at me, I start to wonder if i will be the latest YOUTUBE sensation, ggggrrrrrrrrr. As my pump comes to  a stop, the shouting continues and i slam the pump back in its place. I make my way around to the driver's side but decide to confront the chicken shit teen who is now hiding in the back seat but still yelling. I look at his friends and tell them their friend in the back seat is an idiot, then i say to the dumby in the back seat, "It's big hey?, u like my butt hey? u love it , u love it!!!!! "while smacking myself on the butt then making the coocoo sign in his direction.

when i get into my car, my kids realize that something is happening, they just dont know what it is. Perfect time for a lesson in behaviour. i explain to my kids what happened and then proceeded to explain how rude, and stupid and disrespectful that teen was and i would expect none of my kids to behave in such a manner.

Luckily these things dont bother me, i know my butt is big ,lol, i can see that for my self, no pointing out required lol.

Catching a cold

Woke up on sunday morning with a sore throat, stuffed nose,  a heavy head.......Im never sick, so i was hoping it would pass quickly. I felt better throughout the day. But still today , i woke up feeling crappy, stuffed up and with a frog in my throat. Really just felt like staying in bed all day, sleeping and watching tv. I havent done that in sooooo long. Unfortunately I have to work, and had to get up for my kids anyway, so for me, life goes on, sick or not. Im still feeling stuffed up and achy, but not tired at all, so here i am writing this instead of getting in bed, lol. Ok , enough said, Goodnite all....Sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite.

LOVE

After many many conversations on this topic. Today i heard something different. Most people would say , yes they believe in love, but that its a complicated and most sought after part of the human experience. Today someone told me they dont believe in love , as in couple love. The love of a mother or that for a child is there but love for a significant other, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, partner, spouse, doesnt exist. This baffles me, how can one spend their entire life without the love of someone close. Is the love a parent gives their child enough to sustain them their whole life? The love of a good friend? I struggle with this. it also makes me sad :(. I mean have we become so robotic in our society that we cant or wont allow the love of a partner, to share ourselves, our hearts, our life with????


In a society that right now, cannot hold a marriage together, maybe this is our reality. Is this the reason why we cheat? Are we capable of unconditional , long term, compassionate love for a life partner? From the eyes of a divorced woman, i still believe in love. I do believe we r capable of loving someone, sharing ourselves. But where to find someone that shares the same feeling on this topic as u do?


In this generation of internet and high speed dating and sexing, I guess its easy to get a quick fix or dose of "love" and this way , we dont have to interact with each other on a deeper level:(. So having sex with people we dont love or really know on some deep level is the new trend of today.


I understand the need for physical interaction, but why do we demand so little of someone that is in essence touching us so intimately?


As an adult, a single adult, I can make that decision for myself, but as a parent, i worry about the repercusions of our behaviour in the long run. How can we function without love? how will they learn about love, commitment, compassion and empathy? we have the power to change. can we live in a loveless world?

Movie Night!

Last night I was totally wired. Not sure why but I was. I decided to watch The Hurt Locker since I hadnt even heard of it before it got all those oscar nominations.........It was good, not really my type of movie but still very good. After that I was still wide awake, decided to watch Dear John. Ok, I didnt realize how good looking that guy was, the lead actor, lol, dont even know his name.....but he was yummy;). The movie was long but good, but then again Im such a sucker for a love story.Those feelings of budding love, butterflies, excitement , longing........aahhh thats a great feeling.. too bad it doesnt last forever and eventually the one u were going gaga for is now pissing u off, lol. Why doesnt it last? Why do we forget how it feels when that person angers us? Why is it so hard to get it back? Imagine, meeting someone, spending 2 weeks together and then losing that person for a year. In that year to continue ur love for one another thru letters. This kind of thing doesnt happen anymore. These days we r so hung up on the sex part of a relationship rather than getting to know someone personally thru conversation. Makes u rethink ur individual relationships past and present and how much do u know about ur current partner. ok, i have issues on this topic, lol, but dont have the energy to deal with it now. off to bed i go!nite all :)

What happened next?

As my evening is coming to a close. Great fun was had by all, well except me cause i kept thinking about the dent in my car :(.

I walked my guests out to the door, and as they walk to their cars they explain that my street is crawling with police cars, lights flashing and a crowd is forming. Now let me explain that i live on a very quiet  suburban street, so quiet, that if u take a long one hour walk around the neighborhood, you probably wont run into any other person , lol. So to see and hear that a crowd was forming around the police, was shocking to me.  As i slowly made my way down the driveway and passed my banged up car :(, i realized my neighbors were approaching me. They said , one of the neighbors caught a bunch of teens rumaging thru the cars in the driveways, looking for an open door or trunk so they can steal whatever they could get their hands on. And that this neighbor called for her husband who chased down the teens and jumped one of them while she called the police.

By this time my friends had checked their cars and driven off, but my kids were scared asking a million and one questions. I took my kids inside answered their questions, we had a discussion and by 11 they felt better.....On a quiet street like ours, its kind of creepy when u realize ur having a great time inside and a bunch of teens r trying to steal anything they can from u .....now the police was checking the houses, in the dark with their flashlights, i guess hoping to find another kid, without any luck.

So as Mondays go, that one sucked!, Needless to say , i didnt sleep at all that night and have decided to change the curtains on the front door cause i dont want anyone able to peer into my house .......crreeeeepppyyy!

Sorry

I should apologize for not keeping my promise to blog ......:(  firstly to myself and to anyone else out there who came across my blog.

So here i am again, going to try and take another shot at it, hopefully i can keep it going this time.

I have crappy news. I had some friends over on Monday night for supper, chicken souvlaki , it was very delicious.But my evening was interrupted cause i had to drive to pick up my son who was with his father at the time. As i get ready to go , my friend informs me that she parked next to me,  i look outside and notice that its a tight squeeze and think to myself, no problem i should be able to make it out. Well unfortunatley i was wrong, i freaking hit her car......damn it.

As i pull away totally in a rush to get my son, my mind is on what just happened. When i get home i will check my car and hers.I decide to call Maria and tell her what happened. She says to me, ha, i would never have noticed lol. But crap i would notice my car, its  a new car, not even a year old :(  . Honestly that reality made me want to cry. The fact that i cant afford to repair the car right now, seriously was bringing me closer and closer to death lol.

I finally get my son and check my car, a dent and some large scratches but still not so bad. Bad enough that i notice it though. Maria's car has some minor scratches which she is ok with.I did go back to my friends and try to enjoy the party but this being a Monday , i knew this was just the start of my luck, there had to be more.............
