Sticks and stones make broken bones.

Yes, I know I have a blog titled this elsewhere. It was about something else though completely. My kids call each other names, CONSTANTLY. If I had been called the things they call each other as a kid I would have crawled under a rock and wanted to die. Yet they have no problems throwing back a mean name and shrugging it off.

But words hurt.

It hurts when I do what I do for my family and then I am told that I am a "liar" and that I am "Dumb" because I chose not to go buy soda when I had planned on doing so. That, does not make me a liar, that means someone didn't behave and does not deserve the reward. Sure that sucks for those of us who did behave, but well, life sucks.

So after working all day, coming home, planting plants I hope will grow into usable food for my family, cooking dinner and cleaning up the house some. I am a dumb liar. I wonder if the parents who really are shitty, the ones who DO lie, and who ARE dumb get called the same. I know I have seen some liars of parents before and they are normally praised and thought well of. I guess making up a story about what your going to do, then never following through, is cooler than saying I don't think we can afford to do that, but it would be awesome if we could. Maybe I am a dumb liar, I don't know. I do know that I need a break, not a 30 min trip to Lowe's to get garden stuff, I need like a total break.

I want my kids to appreciate me, but I don't think they ever will, because I am here, always doing what I do and they don't realize it. Maybe if I left for a while and they had to deal with things on their own I would be appreciated. Probably not but I think I should take a week off just to see. Heh.

Im lying. I could never go a week without my kids. Who would watch over them? What a dumb thing to even think about.

8 years at the same job!

I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family. So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends... That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride. So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up. PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
