The oddly normal life of Clorie

dsmile10fave Originally uploaded by Clorissasue Wow, not even PMS time and a bitch blog. What is going on here? So today at work, where in case you just tuned in, I am a server (waitress). I am going about my business, in and out of the kitchen with food, in and out of the wait station with soda. You get the idea, if you've not been a waitress before, I am certain you've had one wait on you. So your aware of my job description. On one trip out of the kitchen, hands full of pizza, a little boy, probably four RUNS through my general walk way full speed, running into my feet... I nearly tripped the little guy and for a split second I was trying to decide weather I ditch the pizza and catch the kid... Or try to worry about keeping my own balance, and the pizza in hand. The boy did not fall, neither did I, OR the pizza (Super waitress anyone?) This boy, however continued to run back and forth, back and forth back and forth from the table with his mom and sister and possibly gra...

G ravity, the fact of life. It makes things droop. I know this. Children are honest. Another fact of life. Put the two together and you have some pretty interesting things that happen in life... I will start with a story about my mother, because that is a little less embarrassing for me.  My mom used to baby sit for a little girl. I believe her name was Amber. The first day my mom was to watch her she told my mom "My name is Amber, I am four, and I am STINGY ." So needless to say, she was a bit of a handful.  On this day she was over quite early in the morning and my mom needed a shower. So, my mom took her in the bathroom and got into the tub shower curtain closed to take a shower. She had told Amber not to open the curtain, because she was showering and she was naked. At one point, for whatever reason she told me Amber PULLED the curtain open, looked at my mom stark naked and said " Michelle! you have SKINNY Boobs! " From this day forward, well probably until ...

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...

. Once you become "mom" that is who you are. Its who I am. I am no longer Clorie. I am " mom " It effects everything from meals, to Christmas gifts, to time to do things I want to do. It effects my life. In fact I have now been mom, longer than I have been Clorie. I think I may have forgotten who Clorie even is. I may have never even known her in the first place, I have been mom, since before I can really remember myself being Clorie.  So who is Clorie? What does she like? Clorie likes to turn the music up, and sing from the top of her lungs. Clorie likes to take pictures of things that do not matter, that might not even be interesting just to do it. Clorie loves to cook, when its appreciated. Clorie loves being outside on cool nights and listening to the crickets chirp to her. Clorie likes to just leave and go somewhere to watch the sunset, just because. Clorie sometimesl likes  to sit in the bathroom and cry, and not be asked why she is crying.... Because she ju...

Tonight I thought I would make the kids happy and do chips with cheese dip for dinner. The Rotel and Velveeta thing. You know. If you dont:  1 Block Velveeta (I used 2% kind, this of course made it "healthy" heh)  1 pound lean ground beef (lean!)  1 can rotel tomatoes  yeah that is it. Cook your meat, add your cheese and tomatoes then melt. Dip chips into this lovely mess and call it a meal if you want to. Its okay if its just now and then!  So with this dip I felt we needed more. So I did my friend Pams infamous recipe of "stuffed jalapenos"  MMMM. Love them dang things. The part I do not love is that night, the burning sensation I get after my shower... When I realize its the jalapenos I cut up earlier. Never fails I do not think about it while cutting the puppies up or waiting for them to bake. I don't even give it a second thought while eating the yummy guys... Its not until later that night, a hot bath or shower, when the burn sets in. Strang...

 Seems like I just did not have a lot of time with all four kids home. No time to blog about the goofy silly things they did. Some nights I would think about it, but fall asleep before I actually had time to post. I would wake up the next day going... What was it they said yesterday that was so funny???  I hate that. I hate not remembering the funny or embarrassing things they have done to themselves others, or to me for that matter... This blog has preserved many of those moments, in time. When I am looking for resources for black mail I can just come back through my blog archives and find some. So I must keep up with this. I must!  School is back in session. This year my baby is a FRESHMAN. Yes that is highschool. The school is probably 12 times bigger than the one that I went to. She has already learned her way around and gets to her classes on time... Wow. Amazing. Number 4 is swearing that this year is her year. Keep her grades up, study and do well... after all ...
