The oddly normal life of Clorie

I got the day off today which was nice considering I was called in and had to close yesterday. I had every intention of having a nice relaxing day.... Bit I had planned on being somewhat productive, that didn't happen. I slept until eleven, waking before that just once to let a furry critter out to pee.... When I finally did wake up I colored a picture and drank iced coffee. Somewhere around two I poured a bowl of cereal and ate it. Tim took the kids to the pool and I got the home button to work on my iPhone (somewhat I have to push really hard) I sat around watching tv. Washed Nd dried three loads of laundry and then had Tim go and get subway for dinner.... I mean why end a day like today having to actually prepare a meal right??? Tomorrow I have got to get around to doing some things like oh... Cooking cleaning grocery shopping.... Yah ill get all that done tomorrow.

My boss says tonight Clorie have you met jr? No. Clorie this is jr. Jr Clorie. Now we've met! I reply as I walk out of the kitchen.... "if Clorie asks you to do something you do it, it's easier than listening to her bitch about it later.... She's the real boss here I just get the title" I feel the love. Totally.

That is a long ass time. As of yesterday I have been married to Timmy for an entire decade. Amazing. I love him more today than ten years ago. I look forward to that live growing even more over the next ten.

 I need to get a sign for the door. I HATE when sales people come (unless they are selling food lol) I always hate to just say NO and slam the door in their face. My kids end up getting all up in the conversation and wanting whatever it is... Like the last guy wanting to sell us an alarm system "For free" I told him my husband made all the financial decisions and he was not home... The kids are all DADDY WONT CARE mama YOU PAY THE BILLS. Gotta love honesty.  So anyway some salesman came the other day and I played the same card... He said he'd return to talk to my husband and I another time. I figured he would not return... Well today a knock came at the door. We had just put our new trampoline together and so we were sweaty and gross and about to get in the shower. Tim was in nothing but sponge bob boxers.  I heard him open the door and he simply said "Im not interested. I already have everything and I don't have any money" I totally want a door mat or...

 Today my baby boy turns eleven. He has himself a girlfriend. He rides the big coaster at Silver Dollar City. He fought cancer and kicked its ass. He can do anything he sets his mind do. He is so sweet and caring. He loves animals and babies and other people. Bailey is a special child and I am lucky to be his mama.  Happy birthday eleven year old big boy

 They say if your child is ready to leave, and be independent that you have given them the wings to leave the nest....  So is it supposed to feel as though they cannot WAIT to get the hell away from you type of spreading??? Because that is the type I am feeling.  I know my teenager loves me, with all her heart. I gave her life, I pay for her cell phone and I feed her when she's home. I am also very aware that after 2 weeks with her dad, away from home, that when she gets back in the GLORIOUS state of Arkansas she will not be thinking of my loving arms and spaghetti salad... Its the boyfriend she has probably told 100 times I love you, I miss you... I Got a couple, but they were followed by "heh" Or something leading me to believe she didn't really mean it.  She's already threatened to move out, more times than I can remember... She is checking off days in the calender to the day she turns 18. Until Freedom, although I give her quite a bit of that. She LONGS ...

 Oh how is it that my teenager is away at her dads and yet STILL Finds a way to make me crazy? Yep shes that good. 12 hour drive distance between us and still annoying the crap out of me.  In life, in school, at work, at home, on TV at the movies... Theres always going to be someone, or something you don't like. Its how life works. You can't run from those people or hide. You have to deal with it!!! GAH!  My son has a crush, and found out that the little girl likes him back as well. He's MY BOY and this is not setting well with me at all! LOL! He cut flowers from my rose bush yesterday to give to her. He will make a great husband one day.... If I ever let him leave home :)

 so today I had to work, again. Some lady called and asked if I could fax her a menu... "No ma'am we do not have a fax machine, but our menu is available online" Well I don't have a computer OR internet she replied. WHAAAAAT? LOL!
